It'a a long fight but the spirit of co-operation and helpfulness being ehown on all aide by farmer*, merchanta and hankera, la Inspiring In Ita calm courage and its mutual co-operation. You find no pessimists In the ranka, few doubter*, while on the other hand there are many thousands courageous and helpful men—real estate men who are putting their shoulders to the wheel—each In hie piece—each in hls way—doing whst he can to bring about good times—to help hls neigh bor end to take on hls full share of the country’s burdens. The European war has become a ■world's burden—the South must bear Ha share—and each man must do hls part. IT SURE IS. “If th# cotton situation,” says the Manufacturers' Record, ‘’llllll# the thoughts of the farmers to large In crease In the production of grain and livestock and other foodstuffs that! there may come about the widest ag ricultural diversification, then the Kouth will be able to gather Itself to gether and go forward to a greater progress and prosperity thgp even that which It had anticipated for this Fall.” With foodstuffs up and with cot ton down, there la no doubt but that th* mind of the South and especially th# mind of the Southern farmer la already turning to the emp situation nest year. Next year's money crop la going to ♦'e oat* In this section. Many farmers are getting ready to plant oata. More wheat la tohig to he planted In Georgia and South Carolina than ever before, Hogs and cattle and corn are going to be seen next year on more and more Georgia farms end in larger num bers Cane and potatoes and truck—win ler and spring and summer gardens are going to bloom and blossom us never before. The South la going to feed itaelf next year and contribute something in the way of food to the world. There'* neither the Inclination, not the ready funds to advance cropper and tenants, to make another crop of cotton while the foreign marker is destroyed hy war and the South Is storing half or more of tht* year’s crop. Don’t worry the South is going to farm for Itself—not for Europe next year.

It is no time for American industries to sit down and bewail the fact that we need cer tain raw materials. If we need dye stuffs—make them at home. If raw suyar and wool are in demand so much better for the cane growers and farmers. If we need certain ores—tap our own mines—the ores are there. Each new want supplied by necessity means the creation of a new American industry. There are fortunes to be made on every hand. This is the Time to Plunge zalne McMahon concluded to make a eland st .Sedan, And there hls hopes were hurled. Sedan, an ancient forti fied town. Is alltiHled on the Meuse and Is surrounded by hills of considerable height. After fighting from daylight unto darkness on September first, the French were driven In from the outlying vil lages arid crowded pell-mell into this narrow space where they were packed and Jammed until maneuvering waa im possible. Men, cannon, horses and ve hicles were a chaotic mass of confu sion. Overlooking the town, the Ger man artillery frowned from the heights The King of Prussia was there, and with the Crown Prince Btsmark ami Von Motke and standing on one of the heights, gazed on the scene below. To add 10 the horrors of the situation, fire broke out In the town, and the devoted mass of humanity had tne destroying element to contend with as well as the fiercest of locs on the outside. It was not known to Hie Germans that the hapless French Emperor was with in the antiquated walls of Sedan. It was known that he ha been with Mc- Mahtm's army hut It w.is believed that he made good hls escape before the Ger mans closed In cutting off all the ave nues A Bolt from the Blue. When the situation In the town of Se dan had grown to ho too intollerable for human existence longer, and a cry for mercy had gone forth, an officer with a flag of truce stepped up to the king of Prussia and said: "You Royid Majesty, Sedan capitulates with the whole army and with the Em peror of Franco who Is in their midst. Can any one Imagine the profound amassment I hat struck the group. They were simply dumbfounded. Gradually, tills gave wav to rejoicing At that In stant an officer appeared with a note from Napoleon to the King, tendering hls sword It was the last time the un fortunate Emperor was destined to ad dress royalty on terms of equality.

Thla put a quietus to their protesta tions Then the entire French army of 84,000 men, with 600 cannon and all munitions of war fell Into the hands of the Germans. In the hattlj of Sedan there had been 13,000 killed and wound ed. In the war now In progress, almost identically the same ground is being traversed- But the German forces were unexpectedly delayed by the resistance offered by Belgium.

WAR AND WISDOM. Wisdom Is better than weapons of w^r. —Ecclesiastes ix, IS. MARK TWAIN ON PEACE. (From “Mark Train; a Biography," hy Albert Bigelow Paine.) There are no peaceful nations now All Christendom is a soldier camp. The poor have been taxed in some nations to the starvation point to support the giant armaments which Christian governments have built up, each to protect Itself from the rest of the Christian brotherhood, and in cidentally to snatch any scrap of real estate left exposed by a weaker owner. * * * Within the last generation each Christian power has turned the bulk of Its attention to finding out newer and still newer and more and more effective ways of killing Chris tians and, incidentally, a pagan now and then; and the surest way to get rich quickly In Christ's kingdom Is to invent a kind of a gun that ran kill more Christians at one shot than other existing kinds. All the Christian na tions era at it. The more advanced they are the hlgger and more destruc tive engines of war they create, THE BRITISH MARCH SONG. “It's a Long Way to Tipperary," has become the marching song of the Brit ish army. It runs thus: Up to the mighty London came an Irishman one day. As the streets are pav’d with gold, sure ev'ryone was gay; Singing songs of Piccadilly, Strand and Leicester Square, Till Paddy got excited, then he shout ed to them there: Chorus. It’s s long way to Tipperary, It's a long way to go; Tl's s long way to Tipperary To the sweetest girl I know. Good-by, Piccadilly; farewell, Leices ter Square, , It's a long way to Tipperary, But my heart’s right there. Paddy wrote a letter to hls Irish Encouraging T#n million bushels of wheat, a record exportation, went abroad last week from this country and Canada.

Many applications by ahlpa for American registry have been filed ami President Wilson has made It easy for vessels to fulfill require ments. Bust ness is getting on a good working basis all around.

WORTH WHILE Molly O’ Saying, “Should you not receive it, write and let me know If I make mistakes in spelling, Molly dear," said he, “Remember, it’s the pen that’s bad, don’t lay the blame on me." Chorus. Molly wrote a neat reply to Irish Paddy O’ Saying, “Mike Maloney wants to mar ry me, and so Leave the Strand and Piccadilly, or you’ll be to blame, For love has fairly drove me silly, hoping you’re the same.” WORK THE BEST INSURANCE. (From Collier’s Weekly). In England the war has brought to poverty a large number of per ■ sons who were formerly well to do. Their tragedy is the result of a calamity that no one could foresee. No parent can be cer tain that his children may not some day come to poverty. There is no guarantee against It. The best insuarnce is to teach them to work. Probably the best asset any youth can have is the ability to cultivate the soil. That is the most permanent and universal of trades. LINCOLN’S STEAMBOAT STORY. One of Lincoln’s favorite stories was about one of those old time steamboats on the Mississippi which had such small boilers that every time they blew the whistle the boat would stop. Some merchants are like this boat. They argue that they are running on such a close margin that they couldn’t possibly advertise unless they dis charged a clerk or took out the tele phone. They look at advertising entirely wrong. They count it an expense In stead of an Investment. The up-to date merchant knows that the more he advertises the more clerks and telephones he will need. And ho pays the advertising bill about as easily as the Lusitania blows its whistle. FARMERS’ ATTENTION. Put the Seed on Land. (Memphis Commercial Appeal). When a farmer cannot get more than $12.00 a ton for his cottonseed he will make more money by using tt on his land as a fertiliser. If the cotton oil men decide that they will pay only $12.00 a ton, the cotton grower should take his seed rff the market and scatter it on the land. The land, so enriched, next year would enable this same cotton farmer to grow a fine crop of com, oats or some sort of grain that he can either use himself or sell In a market that is not controlled by the buyers alone. The linters from cotton see! may command a small price this year, but the oil which is used in cooking and In making compound lard and for other purposes ought to advance. If there is to be a big demand for hog lard there will be a corresponding demand for compound. Cottonseed cake later should be af fected through an Increased demand. GEORGIA WOMEN TO HELP. Every plan to help dispose of the cotton crop at a fair price deserves strong encouragement. The move ment fostered by Georgia women to prevail on Southern housewives to substitute cotton R’r other materials wherever possible, the "buy a bale of cotton" idea and similar plans are all intended to Increase the demand for the Staple and should be encouraged on that account. The cotton farmer is carrying a heavy burden and it is to the interest of the whole South that he be helped But after ail the cot ton farmer htmself can do more than anvbody else ot help the situation. The help he can render la to agree to cut hie cotton acreage one-half In 19IS. PROVOCATION.
