THE COTTON PROBLEM.
difficulty of determining s
standard by which the loaning value
of cotton upon which the warehouse j
certificates shall he hnse.l seems to tie]
Ihe stumbling block that confronts |
those endeavoring to finance the crop. ,
It enn he arrived at In a very sim
ple manner.
The best criterion is the cost of
production. This is the correct haHiH
to start from. To go above this would
he adding fictitious value and trouble
might ensue, and to go below it,
would bring unnecessary hardship on
the producer, who Is In no condition
to Klan.l the loss.
In Ihe present condition of the mar
ket* for supplies, Including foodstuffs,
clothing ferllll/.er, together with the
labor and time, In fact, all the ele
ments whirl, enter Into the cost, a
pound of cotton cannot he produced
for less than 1.0 cents, according to
the general concensus of opinion.
I'runi the cost of production, which
h»s been determined at 10 cents, de
duct 20 per cent margin and you have
8 cents per pound, as a fixed loaning
value on middling cptton. agreed
upon by the hanks and the govern

borrow money on the banks' notes
witli the wsrehouse certificates as se
curity. ,
This would establish a price for
cotton which would prove far mo.e
satisfactory thsn the present chaotic
condition. It would be belter for the
mills because they woud he nble to
purchase liberally without the appre
hension Of Ihe market folng lower by
, euson Of the weight Of the excess
Of course tt would be far belter for
the farmer, for II would enable him to
store Ids cotton and borrow money on
It Instead of rustling It on a demoral
ised market Having hypothecated
hts crop, he would then he In a poel
tlon to sell when the demand required
and not force hts commodity on a re

We who must watch the glory, cry to thee
Our Aves and our Vales thus to nerve
The Kavy’s strength as it puts out to sea.

Of one blood-dour defenders, to the hone
When we were torn from thee, our breaats were to^n
And Liberty coukl heal the wound alone.

Children and lovers fn>jn acrosa the wave

Thy prows with kisses of the foam to lave.

And thy staunch sons our brothers crowmed shall be,
As, true to ancient history, t hey sail.

An Appeal To the United States
• By (lie London Times
It I* with profound satisfaction that
th** British people have taken note
in the last fen days that the cause
in which they are fighting has the
sympathy* the virtually unqualified
sympathy, of their American kinsmen.
The t ? nlted States government itself
has, of course, proclaimed an official
neutrality. It is the only first class
power of the western world that can
maintain an attitude of even compara
tive detachment toward the c inhal
ants As such there may he reserved
for the president of the United States
a role not unlike that assumed hy
Mr. Roosevelt in ilie war between Rus
sia and Japan Mr. Wilson—to whom,
at this moment the sympathy of the
whole British people is extended in
Ids private sorrow -has. indeed, al
ready intimated his willingness to act
“in the interest of European peace”
whenever the occasion may present it
self. Hut the time is still distant,
and there is much stern work to he
done before any government is likeiv
to avail itself of his proffered services.
Meanwhile the United States remains,
and rightlv remains, neutral. It can
not. however, escape from many of

THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA. GA,
the consequences of a war waged on
this unparalleled scale. The great
bulk of its Hade with Europe, which
amounted lust year to nearly 500,00 -
-000 pounds sterling, must of necessity
go by the hoard. Financially and eco
nomically there |s hardly a corner of
the countrj that will not be affected
by the strife in Europe. It Is pos
sible. too. that the Washington au
thorities may from time to time find
themselves faced with the problems
of International law that are almost
bound to arise when nations with a
world-wide commerce and ships in all
the oceans go to war. Rut none of
these is likely to be of decisive itn
tsirlance. The only contingency, in
deed. that might move the United
States government to depart from Its
position of impartial Inaction would
be the systematic seizure of ships fil -
ing the Stars and Strips and carrying
foodstuffs to Europe. Any such de
velopment would he sure to arouse
keen and instant resentment among
the Amerlran people, but It is a con
tingency which could only occur on
the Improbable hypothesis of the fail
ure of the British navy to keep the
Atlantic clear

plare Which goes by too ugly a name
to print); -Mr. Miller. I «ay. rruist have
u fine opinion of Augusta now.
Every citizen of the town who has
ever been as far away even as Sa
vannah will be ashamed to look him in
the face.
And we say we want to have a
City ’ What have we got? Forty

The whole affair is really too petty
