A Remedy Badly Needed.

IF the United States we're to impose
an export duty on cotton and arrange
to have the government finance the
holding of cotton for any price Am
orleans might name. what would the
rest of the world do? says the Nash
VILE Tennessean. How would Ger
many fare if the United States were
to impose an export tax on cotton
after the manner Germany has dis
criminated against American farmers
by means of it's potash tax?
These are questions which students
of finance and economics are consid-
ering with great care. Brazil and
Germany have used just such W'ea-
pon on the United States with indlf-
ference to protest from this country.
All the coffee product from Brazil
which is more than half the conee
crop of the world, is now controlled
ty ? great syndicate which Is pracel-
call, identical with the Brazilian
government. The entire financial
and tariff policy of Brazil centers
about this crop, the most OF whlch IS
sold in the United States.
At present Brazil buys but httle
from the United States. Most OF the
manufactured products required Dy
Brazil are purchased in Europe, so
the United States has little opportun-
ity to adopt retaliatory measures IN
the case of the South American re-
public. Americans must have Bra
lillian coffee, and this government IS
HELPLESS, apparently. to resent the
coffee trust arranged by the Brazil
ian syndicate unless it prosecute the
agents of the trust who handle the
business in this country. Some attor-
news of note have suggested that the
agents of the Brazilian syndicates op-
Grating here might we'll be prosecut-

Major James T. Bacon.

The memory of the late James T..
Bacon of Edgefeld, S. c., is treasured
in the minds and hearts Of many
friends. He was one Of those rare
and fine spirits who seemed to reach
the sentiments of life and bring back
from them some of the sweetness and
purity Of their atmosphere to fresh
en- the everyday levels OF those who
read his writings or had the pleasure
and good fortune of meeting him for
little passing chat. AS the Sa-
yannah Press says his gentle spirit
still fingers with those who knew
and loved him and still exercises a
supt,e charm and power upon their
thoughts. He was man of brilliant
talents and accomplishments, gifted
with a gentle and exquisite humor, a
literary talent and ability OF the
very highest order and a tempera-
ment for art and beauty in all of its
forms. Surely his rare talent must
have sounded the lure Of fame and
fortune and called hi!. often to a
more brilliant circle, but if they did
he did not follow. He lived out his
life among his own people in the
little South Carolina town which was
his home, loving better to be loved
than to be flattered, spending his
life and seeking not to crafty vanity
or ambition in wider field. In the
little church in Edgefeld a beautiful
memorial window has 1 IN dedicated
to the memory of James T. Bacon.
The window illustrates the parable OF
the Good Samaritan, and to those
who know the life and character OF
this good gentleman and Christian
the association seems peculiarly MT
ting. Generous and full of kindness
he gave :unstintingly from his great
possessions, but his great possessions
were not those of worldly wealth.
From his heart and Lind and OF
himself he gave and in company
with the Good Samaritan is his
memory blessed and Aonored. he
will be missed when the press asso-
citation meets at Columbia.

This remarkable showing is large

let us remember that cotton would
never have brought such a price had
not the Southern farmer learned to

Socialism in England.

Although Great Britain is known
in history as a monarchial nation,
vet she has marched long distance
from individualism to paternalism in
government during the last fifty
years. The old idea that the interna.
function of government was mainly
to perform police duty is discarded
entirely by all sections in parliament.
This was conclusirely seen in the
favorable reception accorded the
government measure of insurance
against sickness and unemployment
by which 100000 of people will
be affected. Conservatives, nation

erals in their enthusiastic support
