MANY AUGUSTINS
AT GAMP SUNDAY
Shower Caught Soldiers in
Parade and Spectators. Pine
Concert Given By Second N.
C. Regular Band.
A most delihtful event £om the stand
point of the spectator was presented at
Camp Wheeler yesterday afternoon when
more than seven hundred soldiers of tho
Second Regiment of the National Guard
of North Carolina, who are encamped
at Aumond for ten days for the purpose
of military instruction, were seen *n
parade. It is estimated that there were
thousands of people from Augusta pres
ent to witness the spectacle. It was
highly enjoyed a/d the men and officers
were complimented on every side.
Despite the fact that rain interfered
shortly after the parade was begun, the
afternoon was a perfect success as far
as the program was concerned. It was
particularly pleasing to Col. Rodman,
commanding the 2nd regiment, and his
staff, to see so many people come cu>
to the camp yesterday afternoon un
der such threatening weather conditions.
A shower came earlier in the afternoon
and it looked as though another would
follow at any minute judging from the
dark clouds that overhung the camp.
The parade was begun a few minutes
after 4:30, the appointed hour, but had
not been in progress but a short while
when a sudden peal of thunder brought
the rain down heavily. Both soldiers
end spectators had to hurry for shdiaer.
However, enough of the parade was
given for the public to see what a well
trained regiment Col. Rodman has In
fact the regiment, since it has been in
camp here, has been complimented by
Col. Mallory, of the U. 8. Army, who is
In charge of the camp, although it Is
not the custom of regular army officers
to express their opinion on the state mil
itia anywhere.
Before the rain came, about 5:30, the
regiment had lined up in battalion *oi
mation, had been reviewed by Col. Mal
lory and his staff and Col. Rodman and
his staff and had begun to march with
the band in the lead, playing.
The concert by the band, as announced,
was given at 6 o’clock, somewhat delay
ed by the rain. A large number of peo
ple remained over for the music, whlsh
pleased beyond anticipation. The pro
gram rendered was a very popular one.

Washington.—Secretary Daniels Is
anxious Tor the house to pass the
Weeks bill already passed by the
senate, authorizing him to use avail
able naval vessels for mail, passenger
and freight service to South America
and Europe. Mr. Daniels wants to
begin the service as soon as possible.
“I have long been strongly in fa
vor of utilizing certain ships of the
navy,” s'aid the secretary, “for carry
ing the mall and light express to
South America, and when emergency
requires using colliers for carrying
heavy freight.
“just now there is need for large
ships to carry cotton and wheat to
Europe. If congress will authorize it
the navy can at once give help in
carrying cotton and wheat, as well as
a little mail and light freight. We
could within a few days use four large
colliers for carrying heavy freight.
On each one /it these we could carry
an average of 29,000 bales of cotton

NEW YORK BANKERS AGREE
TO LEND $400,000,000
TO TIDE OVER THE
COTTON PLANTERS
Rate of Loan to be Forty Dol
lars a Bale on 10,000,000
of 1914 Crop.
Many Southern Banks Now
Tied Up With Obligations
Which Must be Extended---
Plan to Handle 4,000,000
Bales by November Will Pre
vent Priceß. From Slumping
---Supremacy of Liverpool
Believed Past.
New York.—Bankers here have ten
tatively agreed to lend $400,000,000 to
the growers of cotton, thin being at
the rata of $49 a bale on 10,000,000
bales of the 1914 crop. It was care
fully explained, however, that all the
charges now standing against the
crop must be taken care or out of this
total. Many of the Southern bunks
are already pretty well tied up with
cotton loans and these must be ex
tended.
W. P. Ci. Harding, of the Federal
Reserve Board, was unremitting yes
terday in his effons to line up tho
New York banks to realization t.iat
the cotton situation muat be imme
diately considered. Mr. Harding was
careful to emphasize that, his work
was entirely of a private nature, hi
his capacity of a former banker of
Alabama In touch with the situation.
He steered clear of any comment on
a valorization plan.
“There should be no burry on the
part of bankers to call cotton loans,"
be said.
"Advances have been made against
the crop, and these obligations ,iave
been going on Tor severs I months,
probably since the planting time.
Ordinarily these loans would be liqui
dated with the proceeds of the sale
of the fl’At cotton, but If this cotton
is sacrificed for he 'purposes of ready
cash the Injury to the cotton planters
will fall also upon tha country at
large ”
The following comment on the cot
ton situation emanated yesterday
from a vice-president of one of the
big commercial banks, who has just
returned from a trip through the cot
ton growing states:
The first problem Is to take care
of shout 300,000 bales of cotton up to
September Ist, probably 500,000 bales
during September and 1,500,000 bales
during October. The handling of an
other 1,750,000 making 4,000,000 in
all, by the end of November would go
fart toward preventing prices front
slumping The holding of 4,000,000
balds or cotton at $55 a bale would
require $220,000,000 capital. On tbls
the owners or trustees could trobably
borrow $180,000,000
"A second suggestion is to develop
tho consuming capacity of domestic
mills, which ar» now capable of tak
ing about 6,000,000 hales. By the
special promotion of foreign markets
under the suspension of the European
supply oT cotton goods our mills
might easily enlarge their yarn pro-
Shirt Waists, slightly

duction for Latin American as well
as African and Asiatic wares
"Tho domestic market could other
wise develop s large demand under
ordinary conditions of business.
There are no large stocks of cotton
goods In this country, and the Euro
naan war is likely to prevent Imports.
The whole demand lor cotton textiles
would then fall on the home in ills.
“The war has Intercepted jute Im
ports, the staple material on which
cotton mills have depended regular
ly for tills class of manufacture The
largo mills at Memphis are already
considering Ihe necessity of having
to manufacture cotton bagging out
of cotton Intend of Jute for wrapping
bales.”
This hanker adds that In his ex
perience of twenty years oT dealing
with the financing of tho cotton crop
he has never known the Southern
hanks to be In such good condition,
"The groat effect of tho war In Eu
rope on the cotton trade, as I see It,"
he said, “is that New York will now
become tho principal cotton market
of tho world. Liverpool has lost bs
premiership, never to bo regained.”
THE DEATH OF MRS. WILBON

The sympathy of all the American
people will go out to President Wil

Beset by posplexing problems of gov
ernment at home and abroad, the
President ts now compelled to bear
the burden of a domestic affliction
that Is heavy Indeed. It le character
istic of tha President that even In the
darkening hours of Ids private grief
he avoided no public responsibility
and left no public duty undone It
was characteristic of Mrs. Wilson that
In the last day of her life her inln.l
should have turned toward the bill to
clear up the alums and pest-spots of
Washington and that by reason or her
wishes Congress should have hastened
to make the measure a law.

Her elevation and her husband's
changed neither her manner nor her
way*, a manner of unaffected sim
plicity and ways of the woman of the
honvet The President ha» said that it
wus sometimes difficult for him to
rgullze that he was President; cer
tainly she never seemed to realize that
any change had come Into her life
which should alter In the least her
demeanor or her alms. It was merely
a change from one town to another,
that was all. Himple, unpretending,
thoughtful of everybody but herself,
her courtesy was not a thing of eti
quette, but the natural expression of
her nature. The White House Is
haunted with memories of many gra
cious women, and hers among them
will be the memory of a sunbeam.

COMMENT ON THE WAR

Perhaps now we may hear the last
of that hoary old 110, begotten by tie 1
devil out of human credulity, that "If

pared for war."
My old Quaker father bad some
lively sayings on (lie subject of war
that still 11 tiger in my memory, though
half a century must have passed alnoti
I beard them:
•>h, why was I a soldier
To fight fur any royal Guelph,
When I might havtp been a butcher
In business for myself?

One murder makes a villain
Thousands a hero;
Princes are privileged to kill
And numbem sanctify the crime.
