NEW YORK DEAMOCRATIC.
Th« New York Herald’* forecast
of the presidential eleetlon In that
mate In favorable to Wilson. New
York Is the sate with the largest
vote In the electoral college and If
the demoeratH cun win In New
York, their triumph 1b assured.
New York Is the pivotal slate In
Which the presidential campaign
culminates. New York's great
vote Is not only it powerful factor,
hut her Influence extends Into
neighboring states and controls
their political sentiment. New York
and New Jersey are ulreudy set
down us democratic.
nut the New York Herald's fore
cast Is not calnouhited to Insplro
confidence In either side. It Is too
nearly balanced to he comfortable,
laical Interests are so great that
they may change the results. At
times Tammany has been an un
certain quantity and liable to go
on one side or the other, according
to the preponderating Influences
brought to hear. However. In this
Instance It Is thought that Tam
many will he true to her tradi
tions, and vote solidly with the
democracy.
New York Is naturally a demo
cratic state At the same time.
New Yorkers are strong In their
fealty to the home man, and
Hughes being from New York,
state pride will draw to him the
support of many who might other
wise feel Inclined the other way.
Such considerations must be taken
Into the account, when summing
up a candidate's chances In a pres
idential election.
But New Yorkers are human
and the humanising effects of the
great wave of prosperity that Is
sweeping over the country were
first manifest In New York Hold
Is pouring Into New York in train
loads ami ship loads. And there
is no let up to It. Every branch of
trade must feel Its effects and
the dense masses of humanity who
wtehl tremendous power at the
ballot box will hardly he found
going ugalnst the pniev that has
fostered and guided t golden
stream Into their trad arteries
and financial system It Is a very
rare thing that the party In power
falls to get a new lease In the
midst of a prosperous season.
AMERICAN COTTON ABROAD.
The South was down In the dumps
two* years ago, over the cotton sit
uation Cut off from communica
tion with foreign markets, there was
no demand for Amertoiyi cotton, amt
eotieequefitly cotton f®ll f*r below
the cost of production. The South
hollered; tt was time to holler.
A magnificent ootton crop had
been made but there was no sal#
for It. Th# attuattoo was desperate.
If by concerted action ten per cent
of th® crop could hiv# been burned
things would hav# righted . tliem
■slvee Immediately, but the cultiva
tion of cotton extende over so vast
gn expanse that It was not pr»o
ttcAble to get concerted action, so we
had to make the beet of a bad situa
tion and stick It out. Gradually the
market was restored and prices rs
covered.
But tho change ha* come \t e
•re now faring short crop conditions.
The boll weevil and unfavorable
weather has done for us what wo
might nave done for ourselvea. The
eotton vteld will be far below the
average \Ve are now getting fairly
good prices for cotton In compari
son with prices In the past, hut not
good prices In comparison with other
products which we consume. Instead
Of being able to swap a pound of
cotton for a pound of meat wo are
compelled to give half a pound of
cotton to hoot to make the trade.
However, the man that don’t buy
meat ta not worrying

British have been studiously stimu

Asia and Africa from time Imme

as possible the cotton Imported from
America They have made some
progress. It Is true, but thetr

not of sufficient importance, as to

LET THE SUNSHINE IN !
Draw up the shades and let the sunlight in.
Sunlight is the tonic of life, bringing cleanliness, health,
happiness, and optimism with it. The window shade is its
enemy.
If you keep down your window shades you harm only
yourself and your family. You restrain the best disinfect
ant from killing the germs that accumulate in your home.
Germs live and thrive in darkness.
You draw your shades to keep the % carpets and drap
eries from fading. But while yob do this, the cheeks of
your children fade, instead. Better to have faded rugs
than fader! children.
Beyond the physical effect from the sun is the mental.
You feel light, joyous, good natured and optimistic while
the sun shines. And who wants to be gloomy, grouchy,
these days?
Let the sushine into your home, into your body and all
the world will be a blaze of glory to you. Then, you will
like living, and in spite of all the adversities you may meet,
keep on viewing life from the joyous side.
BACK TO THE LAND.
A golfer with a golfstick and a farmer with a scythe,
each swinging his implement on his own side of a crooked
fence—
Hard bent on biffing a ball and chopping a thistle,
they dont’ say a word; but this is what their presence said
each to the other:
“Yes, neighbor, it’s the land that gives us joy; whether
we till it with the plow and reap our labors with the sickle,
or whether we use it merely as a playground, clipping the
turf with little Hticks, we all feel better for getting back to
the land, under the open sky, close to nature. Country
men and city men, we’re all beginning to learn the lesson
that the source of health and happiness is the land.”
“ FLATFOOT”
’Twas a year ago she first came to town, and we
noticed her as a green, rather awkward waitress in the
restaurant where we eat o’ noons.
The other waitresses made fun of her clumsiness, and
of the way she wore her plain country clothes. One of
them, spiteful, christened her “Flatfoot.”
Hut although she was clumsy she hed ruddy cheeks
and a clear eye, and when she made a mistake she didn’t
try to cover it up, but admitted it frankly and expressed
sorrow.
Before long diners began to seek her table, because
when the strangeness wore off she was able and willing to
set their orders before them a little quicker than the other
girls did. She moved swiftly, and the apparent slowness
of her gait was a delusion.
Men respected her; she didn’t get any insults, because
it was plain Hhe wouldn’t stand for any; but her tables
were always the first to fill when the noon rush began.
Four months ago we changed our eating place for one
nearer the office, because we’re so busy getting out the
Daily Herald we havejittle time kt midday.
Yesterday we casually went back to the other restau
rant.
The girl from the country had exchanged her waitress
apron for a nifty skirt, her uniform for a white shirtwaist,
and was bossing the whole darn dining room.
Every customer who entered was conveyed to a table
as she led the way, with a beckoning finger.
Her ruddy cheeks were a trifle paler, but her eyes
were just as clear. Her clothes were cut in a modish way.
Her step had lost its awkwardness.
She saw that everybody was properly served, and she
settled the kicks and disputes of the waitresses with alacrity
and apparent fairness.
“So your old friend ‘Flatfoot’ is rising in the world,”
we remarked to the spiteful one.
“Nix on the ‘Flatfoot!” said she. “She’s all right!
We’re for her!”
TELL YOUR BANKER
Mayor-Elect Aea O. Candler Rave
some splendid advice in hie address to
the Atlanta Credit Men the other day
when he said: "Be perfectly honest
with your hanker.”
Mr. Candler's advice Is not only Rood
for tlfe credit men. hut for everybody
else who Is In business Probably
there me none who know better than
the credit men of Atlanta the Impor
tance of thin policy. They are the
men who stand somewhat In the Name
relation as the bonk toward the retail
er and consumer. They pax* on the
credit of others and extend tt or deny
it ua the oano may be. They expect
honesty amt frankness from the man
who asks for and seeks credit. Just
as tho hank does. They are naturally
auspicious of the man who does not
openly and fully state hla cnee
lt In the avernße business man who
Is most tn need of the advice which Mr.
Cundlcr Rive tn this statement:
You must let your banker know
your exact financial condition, and
he will he glad to advise you. He
Is entitled to know how you stsnd;
lt Is for your own success.
The trouble many business men hsve
tn the matter of aerurtna all the credit
they think they are entitled to ts thetr
failure to deal openly and frankly

AUGUSTA HERALD READERS ARE SUBSTANTIAL CUSTOMERS FOR AUGUSTA HERALD ADVERTISERS
The same business man will moke
Inquiry and Investigation regarding
customers who want credit, and yet
often presume that the bank ought to
know enough about him and his busi
ness to extend lt without question.
This Is false logic. Every hank
would like to show and hear the es
sential details of ench customer's of
ficial and business status. It ts a
matter of right that tt should.
There are some banks In lending
cities of the country which have gone
to the extent of demanding periodic
financial statements from thetr custo
mers made by an expert hubllc ac
countant. While there are compara
tively few of these as yet. because of
banking competition, there Is a dis
position on the part of most hanks to
require them when opportunity offera.
and to favor those customers who are
prompt In submitting them.
There are actual cases on record
right here tn Atlanta of firms and cor
porations whose credit has been ma
terially Increased and strengthened by
thetr voluntary action In submitting an
audttor'a statement to thetr hnnka.
Mr Candler's advice Is good for any
business man. It would he well If the
hanka would print a statement of this
sort and distribute It among their cus
tomers, There ts always sn opportu
nity for the men who Is not getting the
credit he thinks he deserves. If he

ther augmented by those to whose
credit the money stands.
A canvass of the other hanks of the
city, as well as hanks throughout South
west Georgia, would no doubt show a
similar gratifying reflection of the pres
ent prosperous conditions in this part of
the state. Hundreds of farmers who
hsve beau in debt lor several years.

having hn<] to “carry over” varying
amounts for them season after season,
have this year paid every dollar they
owed, and now have money In bank
that is “oure velvet.”
Peculiarly gratifying is this fortunate
condition of the negro farmers. The
bank official already referred to says
that, among all classes of depositors, the
colored fanner is least likely to draw
out his money, once he has it in bank.
He literally “salts it down” against fu
ture needs, and will not check it out
unless forced by circumstances to use
all or a part of it.
With the certainty of a battle at close
quarters with the boll weevil next year,
the fact that so many colored farmers
are not only out of debt, but have mon
ey laid aside for the rainy day that's
coming, is moHt encouraging.
It will give the farmers a big advant
age when they open tne right next year.
Nineteen hundred and sixteen is proving
a "fat year," and it is coming at a
most fortunate time.—Albany Herald.
