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, i and especially in the South, on ac Bales Consumed Normal Countries. Times. United States 5,800 England 3,300 Germany 1,250 Russia .... 375 France 800 Austria-Hungary 625 Italy 550 All other countries 1800 Totals 14,200 j “But suppose that on account of the the war the world consumes only 12,- 00,000 bales, and we have to carry [over 2,000.000 to another season? That condition would not spell disaster | The surplus can be financed and cot ton carried without the slightest dif ficulty. In fact, twice that amount i could easily be handled, and the fi nances of the country not strained. *'ln such a contingency the farmer, 'next year, would decrease his acreage, mnd by the time the next crop was I harvested, matters would be evened up, with the producers’ barns full of corn, hay and other food crops to his I everlasting benefit. If the war only has the effect of forcing the farmer to diversify his crops it will be of | great benefit to him.

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 ones appetite for sepculalion: Est’d Inc.

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.” Wilkinson, H. W. Miller, F. J. Paxon, H. E. Watklna.

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. WHAT TO SAVE IN THE HERALD'S M. & M.

I continued its use until it made a new woman of me, and now I can hardly realize that I am able to do so much as I do. Whenever I know any woman in need of a good medicine I highly praise Lydia E.
