Memphii Commercial- Appeal. In year« gone by the 1 at of Septum- bpr marked the beginning "f things in the South. During the months of July and Au gust business men sat quietly in their stores, shops and warehouses, awaiting the opening of the cotton Buason. Hankers took a vacation. The far mers, the plowing being over, sat in the shade of trees and awaited picking time. There was nothing for th *m to do on the farm. There was noth ing much for the merchant to do in the town but wait. The big planter went off to the watering places. Nowadays the energetic Southerner is busy every month in the year. Fewer people go to the North and to resorts. They have something to do at home, and they enjoy doing it. This change shows the marvelous de velopment and progress of the South. This summer our people have been busy harvesting wheat and hay, hand ling truck, and doing some fall plowing. Some are filling silos think of it. you farmer of 1890 or 1900! Hut there is renewed activity in the South, beginning with September, and this September finds us in a vastly ■different condition from that of last September. Last September we were like one on a ship alloat on an uncharted sea. The hull was Hound, but our hearings were lost, and we were adrift. The world's war was getting under way. Von Kluck was swinging his matchless le gions in a long sweep toward Paris. Already he had croBBed over historic fields where in the past armies had long ago struggled for the mastery. He had brushed by fortifications where in times gone by the forces of civiliza tion* had made their last stand against the hordes that came rustling out of the Far East. The French had been beaten in the neighborhood of Sedan; the English were retreating and firing, and singing to keep up their courage. Kitchener had just told Parliament that we might expect a long war. The French were resorting to the desperate expedient of reforming the ■cabinet. The western tide of the tier- man invasion was at its flood. With us the yellow blood of com merce. gold, was departing from the body of business. The exchanges were closed and England and France had de clared a moritoriam. They stopped paying us the debts they owed us, and then told us that unless we paid what we owed them our credit would be destroyed. Money began to slip out of the savings banks. Tne buckskin belt and the family sock were again brought into requisition. The memory of what wns going on this day n yenr ago is ns a nightmare, One wholesale druggist in Memphis got bis breath quicker than anybody else, and published an advertisement saying that if we could not stop the war we could live with the war. Now ice ore living with tin 1 war! This year every unfavorable condi tion has been discounted. We have taken stock. The country has made up its mind to live with the war, no mat ter how long it lasts Already the United States has be come the money-center of the world. There is more money in New York than at any time in its august history. An American paper dollar is as good as gold at any bank in any civilized country. English, Herman, Russian, French and Italian paper money is at a high discount. , English paper money is lower than it ever was in the history of finance — since man began to draw bills of ex change. If the war lasts another year the United States will not only have a tre mendous gold balance, but the country will buy back many of the securities now held in foreign lands. The war has not troubled our friends in the Northwest. They grow things t) eat. Nations light on their behies. There was a steady and rising market, then, for all the food supplies the Northener and Westerner had to sell. Within the Inst six months manufac- E. G. Hudson's Statemout. E. G. Hudson, Chatnblee, Ga.. writes: "East year I bought and tried Foley's Cathartic Tablets. I have tried many cathartics, hut for a thorough cleans ing movement of the bowels, without the slightest inconvenience or sickness, I believe the Foley Cathartic Tablet the best on >ar:h. It’s the perfect cathar tic. with no had effects.” Everybody suffers occasionally from indigestion or constipation, so Mr. Hudson's experi ence is worth remembering. Stout per sons sav these table's relieve that '‘heavy” feeling. J. F. l,ee D.ug Co turers of iron, brass and copper, and thoie other things that go for war ma terial, have been busy. We of the South have been the big gest sufferers on account of this war. The war smashed the tobacco market. It broke the cotton market, and it paralyzed the lumber business. In spite of this blow at our principal articles of commerce we are better off to day than we were a year ago. We have brought forces into play that a year ago we regarded as trivial. Seeing how our Northwestern friends got rich by growing something to eut, we went into the business of producing things to eat. No matter what we get for cotton this year, we will not have to spend the surplus for hay and feed and corn, and for canned goods. That is, those of us who have not been lazy or foolish. The lumber business is better. There is a better demand for tobacco. Cotton will fetch more money this year than it did last year. Business will be better this fail than it was last fall. We have progressed far within twelve months toward making ourselves self- sustaining. We should learn one lesson from the war: The Germans are fighting the world to-day, and making a good fight of it because they are a self-sustaining people. England thought a few months ago that she would starve Germany to death. Germany will never lose be cause of a lack of food supply. If the Germans had not been a self-sus taining people at the outbreak of the war they long ago would have been forced to yield because of empty stomachH. We can profit by the thrift of the Germans in the matter of living. We are beginning to learn the lesson. No matter if cotton—every pound of it—sold for 15 cents this year, we can insure our industrial and financial in dependence for all time forward if we develop all the lines of production which we undertook in the year 1915. We are not going to permit the cot ton we grow this year to be ^sacrificed, and the money we get for it we can spend part with our neighbor for some thing that he may have grown that we are shy of, instead of sending it into a fnr country. If the bankers and the merchants and the planters and the manufacturers in the South co-operate this year, as they are promising to do, we will be within striking distance of agricultural, com mercial and financial conditions where we will be our own masters. After personal liberty, the greatest blessing that a man cun have is commercial and financial independence. We were in a bad way Sept. 1, 1914. We are GOING FORWARD this Sept. 1, 1915. Confidence in ourselves, our neighbors nnd our country, along with co-opera tion and energy, will put us in a com manding position, in spite of wars and rumors of wnr- GET TOGETHER! —KEEP TOGETHER! — GO TO it! Tribute of Respect. BY TilK MISSIONARY SOCIETY or Till-: FIRST MKTII- OlilsT CHURCH. On July 16, 1915, as the day was merging into twilight, the spirit of Mrs. Sallie Moreland Hungerford left its home of disappointment and suffering for its home of eternal joy, bliss and light. She will be missed by her church nnd missionary society. Although de prived of attending the meetings on ac count of bodily pain, we felt that her prByers, sympathies nnd cheerful gifts were with us. "A willing mind is first uccepted of the Lord.” This she pos sessed, and gladly would she have gone in and out in service to her Lord if it were possible. During the winter months, when the society held its meetings in different homes, we can see now her bright, sweet fuce when we met with her devoted daughter, Mrs. Ben Kirby. That look of interest and earnestness was an inspiration to ev eryone presont. We know where she is now. O’er the heights of the heavenly land she feels the joy of the gifts she cast into the treasury while here to spread the blessed gospel; and, who knows, she may be in the presence of some one from the far-off heathen land brought to Christ through her prayers and offerings. Hers was a strong, magnetic personality. It did one good to be with her.' A feeling of courage and determination to overcome pos sessed you as you went from her pres ence. Though absent from us, her sweet in fluence still lingers to strengthen this band of Christian workers to more de termined zeal in personal work and more liberal gifts, and extend the work in the home land and across the seas. Ab a society we offer our deepest sympathy to her children and relatives at her going from them. May the same strong Power that sustained her in her hours of suffering comfort and bless all the bereaved ones, and help them to realize that mother is not dead, but that ‘He giveth His beloved sleep.” Mrs M. 13.

Atlanta, Sept. l.'L — Estimates of the Georgia cotton crop made by the State Department of Agriculture, over the signature of Commissioner J. D. Price, are hut a small fraction under those made by Eastern agencies of well- known bearish tendency. It is a re markable fact that while these Eastern people are publishing estimates of 66.5 per cent, of an average crop, Commis sioner Price's estimate was 67 per cent., or just one and one-half percent, under them. "After visiting many counties in the State, in Southern, Middle and North ern Georgia,” Commissioner Price said to-day, "I am more than satisfied that my estimate of the cotton crop is, if anything, a little too high. I am grati fied to note that the Northern and Eastern people, who spare no expense in the matter of getting their estimates, are only 1.5 per cent, above me. They figure 68 5 per cent, of an average crop, while my estimate was 67 per cent. "The price of cotton right now, as compared with last fall, looks good to me; and, while I am not over-optimistic about it, I am gratified to note that the regional bank and its associates are go ing to lend money to farmers on cotton at 6 per cent., in case the farmer pre fers to borrow at this rate of interest and settle his debts instead of selling at present or similar prices. "Fortunately, we are not confronted with the same conditions we had to contend with last year, when there was no price, and no money to be had ex cept at exorbitant rates of interest. Conditions now are better. There is plenty of money, and the bankers and buBir.eBB men generally seem to be friends of cotton. "There is one important feature of the situation, brought about by the re duction in acreage and the reduction in the use of high-grade fertilizers. As pointed out by Mr. Anderson, of the Macon Telegraph, have you stopped to think that, if the war continues, our facilities for obtaining potash to make high-grade fertilizers will be worse next year? We have no supply of pot ash on hand, and, necessarily, the crop will be as short, or shorter, than this year, which points to a good price for cotton. It is at least fortunate that the reduction in yield raises the price to whore the farmer may realize almost as much money as if he had a big crop. "Now, Mr. Farmer, it is up to you to raise your home supplies and be inde pendent. Have the buyer come to you and ask what you will take for the cot ton you have on hand, instead of being worried to death as to who will buy it und what price he' will give. Plenty of hog and hominy is the solution of the whole problem. "The long-dreaded boll weevil has at last appeared in South Georgia. Some fifteen or eighteen counties are already infested. The State Board of Entomol ogy, of which I am chairman, has called a meeting at Thoniasvilie, in connec tion with business men and different chambers of commerce of that section, to devise plans to prevent the spread of this pest, and to minimize, in so far as is possible, its effect upon our next crop. It is important that every possi ble step to this end be taken, as the work of the weevil will affect directly or indirectly everybody in the State. Neither this department nor the State Board of Entomology will spare any pains or effort in assisting the farmers of Georgia to successfully combat this peat.” Worth Their Weight in Gold. “I have used Chamberlain’s Tablets and found them to be just as represented, a quick relief for headache, dizzy spells and other symptoms denoting a torpid liver and a disordered condition of the digestive organs.

After this he became all in all to his grandparents. When la ter his father chose another bride he gave due reverence and obedience to this faithful wife and good home moth er. He was a gentle child, and grew up a gentleman. He was a Christian, and so orderly snd righteously did he walk that many are surprised to know that he was not a church member. The Great Plan puts blood before water, and, while he acknowled his Redeemer, he shrank from a public confession, and so never went down into the watery grave, the door to the church and sym bol of death to sin. Diligent in busi ness, he added to the fortune left him by his ancestors. Not telling his left hand the deeds of his right hand, he reached forth help to the needy. Es pecially kind and considerate was he to his tenantry. In early life he married Miss lone Fielder, of Alabama. Of this union two daughters were born, one of whom pre ceded him to the heavenly home. He went softly all his days, and af ter living the years allotted to man he has fallen asleep, and rests in hope of that eternal day when the earth shall be rejuvenated. Peace to his ashes, ap a sweet memo ry of him abides in the household so bereft. I. B. H. New nan, Ga., Sept. 10, 1915. His Rest Was Broken. O. D. Wright, Rosemont, Neb., writes: "For about six months 1 was bothered with shooting and continual pains in the region of my kidneys. My rest was broken nearly every night by frequent action of my kidneys. 1 was advised by my doctor to try Foley’s Kidney Pills, and one 50 cent bottle made a well man of me. I can always recommend Fo ley’s Kidney Pills, for I know they are good.” This splendid remedy for back ache, rheumatism, sore muscles and swollen joints contains no habit-form ing drugs. J. F. Lee Drug Co. Gov. Harris has explained his position as regards including the prohibition bill in the call for an extra session. He re quests the people of Georgia who want the bill included to immediately advise him to that effect. We think this a very broad-minded and sensible move on his part, as the people will have to defray the expense of the extra session and therefore should have some voice in the matter.— Montezuma Georgian.

Pomeroyton, Ky.—In interesting ad vices from this place, Mr. A. J. Hughes writes as follows: "I was down with stomach trouble for five (5) years, and would have sick headache so bad, at times, that I thought surely I would die. I tried different treatments, but they did not seem to do me any good. I got so bad, 1 could not eat or sleep, and all my friends, except one, thought I would die. He advised me to try Thedford’s Black-Draught, and quit / taking other medicines. I decided to take his advice, although 1 did not have any confidence in it. I have now been taking Black-Draught for three months, and it has cured me— haven’t had those awful sick headaches since I began using it. I am so thankful for what Black- Draught has done for me." Thedford’s Black-Draught has been found a very valuable medicine for de rangements of the stomach and liver. It is composed of pure, vegetable herbs, contains no dangerous ingredients, and acts gently, yet surely. It can be freely used by young and old, and should b« kept in every family chest.
