THE EFEECT OF THE WAR
ON THE PRICE OF COTTON
(From Rock Hill (8. C.) Record, Aug.
10. 1914.)
Herr* Jh one man who la not alarmed
over the situation produced by the
j Kuropean conflict. Mr. John G. Ander
| non, president of the Rock Hill Bug
gy Company, when Interviewed by a
> Record man as to conditions, said:
"I do not believe the people of the
cotton states have any real cause for
alarm over the apprehension of losing
the bulk of the cotton crop on account
lof a low price incident to the Europ-
I< an w ar.
"The people of the world must be
fr d and clothed as usual. If they are
Interrupted for a few weeks In trans
portation facilities that ought not to
Bankrupt us, because a way will be
found to supply them. There will be
no embargo on the commerce of the
Pacific. England is our biggest cus
tomer for raw cotton and she may be
depended upon to keep her mills run
ning. Bhe must have our cotton. Her
navy will see to that.
"There need not be any fear In this
country on account of the supply of
n oney. The government has already
attended to that. Farmers can, this,
fall easier than ever before, arrange
to borrow money on thejr cotton if
they want to carry It over. This is
absolutely assured.
"Business should move along as
I usual. In fact, I look for a period of
! unusual prosperity In this country,

count of the conditions in Europe. It
Is too bad to profit by our neighbors
misfortunes, but that Is just what the
war means to the United States.
“Our cotton mills have been running
along from hand to mouth since the
panic of 1907; many of them losing
money and few able to make both ends
meet. Some have not been able to
keep running half the time, while
othrs have gone Into bankruptcy and
are now standing still. The wayreans
that they will very soon be running
to full capacity, and if many of them
can get labor, running night and day!
"This means employment for thous
ands at good wages, who are now idlo
most of the time, and an Increase In
the consumption of raw cotton of not
less than 50 per cent. The cotton crop
will not be sacrificed; we can manu
facture most of It and send It abroad
not as raw material, but as a finished
product at good prices. When the war
is over we. will he able to hold to most
of the trade that is now w'aiting for
us.
"The following table will be inter
esting to those fond of figures. I have
no means, of course, of knowing
whether they will represent actual
conditions or not. But I should think,
generally speaking, that the world will
consume almost as much cotton the
present season as it did last, and If
one country falls below the estimate
in the table, some other will go above
At any rate the figures will sharpen

the South is this all-cotton theory of
farming. I have absolute confidence
in the ability of the country the
south especially, to take care of it
self. Business should go along as us
ual.
The first shock of the Impending
conflict is passed. Financial matters
are being straightened out and there
Is plenty of money to carry on the
business of the country. No man ought
to get excited. Cool heads and calm
judgment are necessary to meet an
emergency. The cotton crop, on which
the South depends for Its prosperity,
will find a market at remunerative
prices. The business men of the South,
with the help, if needed, of their
friends in the Noorth, will solve the
question. If, Indeed, It needs solving.”

How To Eradicate
All Surperfluous Hair
Advice by a Skin Specialist
As soon as women of today learn that
permanent removal of ugly, repulsive
hair growths can only be gained by
reaching the hair root and not by using
common, worthless depilatories such as
burning pastes, powders, evil-smelling
liquids, etc., the better it will be for
their happiness and safety. Nor can the
electric needle be depended upon to give
satisfactory results without danger of
horrible scars or facial paralysis The
best means I have ever found that never
falls to remove all signs of disfiguring
growths of hair on the face, neck, arms
or hands, is a simple, inexpensive prepa
ration called Mrs. Osgood’s Wonder. It
is Absolutely harmless, cannot injure
the skin or complexion and in a sur
prisingly large number of cases has suc
ceeded In killing the hair down to the
very roots, source of all growth. When
the roots are killed no more hair can
grow. You can get Mrs. Osgood's Wonder
from Howard’s Rexall Drug Stores or
any up-to-date druggist or department
store. Signed Money-Back guarantee
with ever\ package. Let me caution
you, however, not to apply this treat*
merit except where total destruction of
hair la desired.

5,000 Americans and 10,000
Britons in Switzerland
Geneva, Switzerland (delayed in transmission) —American and British
consular officers estimate that about 5,000 Americans and 10,000 Eng
lish were held up in Switzerland owing to the outbreak of war.
The Swiss government for the past few days has prevented automo
biles leaving the country as it intends to use them if necessary for mil
itary purposes. A number of American cars are among those held.
The Swiss banks have begun to discount American checks but charge
20 per cent The American banking agencies here also have begun again
to take travelers’ checks.
ASK PASSAGE
EMERGENCY
9ff BILL
Would Allow Foreign Built
Vessels Less Than Five
Years Old to Come Under
American Registry.
Washington. —Administration sena
tors today pressed for passage the
emergency bill already passed by the
house, to allow foreign built saips
less than five years old to come un
der American registry. The measure
designed to facilitate marine traftic
during the Europeon war carries an
amendment by Senator Jones permit
ting the president to remove restric
tions against foreign built id-iipts
which pass thiough the Panama Ca
nal touching at Atlantic and Pacific
ports.
Senator O'Gorman, in charge of the
bill, opposed the amendment. "We
are trying by this bill,” he said, “to
bring ships under the American flag.
If this amendment is adopted it will
r.ot only deter American corporations
lrom taking advantage of this emer
gency bill but it will take out of ser
vice about one-half of the ships now
engaged in American coastwise ships.
The amendment can serve no possi
ble purpose except to defeat the pur
pose of the bill It could not benefit
the private ship yards of the coun
try.”
Trouble for U* S.
Senator Pomerene, supporting the
amendment argued that any transfer
of ships to American register that did
not require actual American owenr
ship. would be deceiving foreign na
tions anil would make trouble for the
United States. It would open the way,
he declared, for a belligerent ship,
when threatened by another to flee to
an American port, sell a share of stock
to an American and steam out in the
face of its enemy flying the American
flag. Such apparent subterfuge, he
said, would not be tolerated by the
foreign powers.
Senator Reed suggested that the
Saulshury amendment be made to read
that at least two-thirds of foreign
Ships shall be owned by Americana
before they can procure American
register. Senator Saulsbury accepted
this change, but Senator O’orman
continued to oppose the amendment.
