ENGLANn,S SEA POWER.

Though the var thus far has deVel-
oped no naval engagement Of prime
importance, the value of Great Brit
aims sea power is manifest. True,
the Kaiser's batleships have found a
safe retreat, but they are helpless to
protect his merchant marine, much
less to injure the enemy. Austria's
fleet is likewise bottled in the Adrl-
attic, so that the Allies have ocean
freedom the world around.
This is an advantage beyond estl-
mate. England and France have no
fear of food shortage so long as the
German navy is kept from the lanes
of trade; but in hat very circumstance
lies Germany's greatest peril if the
war is prolonged.
Furthermore, as a writer in the o
ton Transcript points out, as long as
Great Britain commands the sea it can
reinforce its fighting line from all
quarters of the globe. There are IN
India. besides the native Imperial army
1 one hundred and sixty-two thousand
/ strong, about seventy-ive. Thousand
British regulars. From the two forces
a powerful army can be drawn whose
transfer to Europe is but a matter Of
arranging steamship and railroad con
snections. In the Dominion, in Aus,
tralia, in New Zealand, there are form
ing volunteer armies which Great
Britain can easily and expeditiousl,
transport to points where they will de
most good.
lit is evident, indeed, that her SCI
power lis as valuable to Great Britain
now as it was in the Napoleonic wars

"Grand e

Cotton is the backbone of the South'5
prosperity. If cotton interests suffer,
every organ of our business body is
deranged, every nerve in u econom-
ic life is distressed; trade slackens, in
dustry halts, enterprise is unsineWed;
the merchant, the banker and the man
ufacturer, no less than the farmer, are
disturbed; indeed, in all the South
there is no interest, no community or
individual that is not seriously affected
by the cotton situation.
1t is, therefore, Supremacy important
that the Southern people employ every
possible means to protect themselves
in the cotton crisis brought on by the
European war. 1t is supremely urgent
that they take up this task individual
ly and collectively, remembering that
their. common fortunes are at stake
and that only by helping one another
can they help themselves.
In this great work everyone can
have a part, and if everyone plays well
his part, the present danger will 500
turn to safety and advantage. We
may depend upon it that all the as
s~istance the national Government can
lend will be forthcoming. The bill
introduced by Senator Hoke Smith
providing for the issuance of emer-
gency currency on warehouse receipts
for cotton, will shortly become a law
The relief and sustaining power this
measure will bring cannot be over
gagged, but when the Government has
done it's utmost there will remain
many needs and obligations which the
lpeople themselves must meet.
The South's imminent peril is that
thousands Of bales of cotton may be
dumped upon the market, with the re
suit of ruinous prices. But if this cal
be prevented now, if the present sup.
ply can be reduced to something like
the present demand, the future viii
be secure. If WE can retire eight mil
lion bales from the market for a yeal
at ten cents q pound, We shall rest ir
safety and contentment until the ex.
traordinary conditions created by the
war are over, and at the end of thai
period emerge as strong and prosper
Gus as ever.

TOO MUCH STRESS

Editor Argus:-I feel sure that there
is entirely too much stress placed on
the effect of the European wal as it
affects our country, along many lines.
The fact is our people have been so
very prosperous for many years, and
have, to some extent, been eXtrava-
CANT that NOW they have become
frightened and nave talked it so much
that the future appears like a dark
cloud. There is really no apparent
need for such depression. 1t is well
to be economical and thoughtful, but
not necessary to be picturing d~estruc-
ton just ahead of US. There never
was a better opportunity for encourag-
n words to be spoken, n for people
to show kindness to those who are
worthy of it. The clouds will soon
roll by and this will only be a lesson
to make us more prudent. There is a
determination not to sell cotton for
less than cost of making, and a dis
position to kill the goose that lays
the golden egg" is not good policy Oh
the part of the manufacturer or any
body else. The world will need the
cotton sooner or later.
Let every one who can store anC
hold their cotton. Sell only enough
to meet pressing obligations. Satisfy
those we owe by getting them to hell
us hold. In most cases they will d.
it. Plant a small cotton crop mex
year. Let non desire to take advant
age of this almost useless scare. Tall
less about it. Be more hopeful. No
much cloth Will be made Out of Z cen
cotton yet awhile. Things could b
worse. Cotton hands get as mucl
now as when cotton brought IA cent
Tobacco is bringing fair prices.
1t is only the cotton farmer who i
in debt badly and not able to hold hi
cotton who is in bad fix. Others ca
patiently wait with some degree c
hopefulness for better conditions. Gu
wise National and State rulers will d
all they can to relieve the situation
but they can't care for all of us. Som
of us will have to protect ourselves.

Sow Crimson Clover
and SaVeFertiliZer Bills

The Indications are that prices of
fertilizer the coming season will be
much higher than usual, owing to the
fact that the supply of fertilizer ma
terials will be largely cut off on &C
count of the European war. This
should cause farmers everywhere to
put land in crops that will save ferti-
iizer bills. Nothing will do this better
than Crimson Clover. Tt is unques-
tionabfy one of the best soil-improv-
ers that can be put in, and wherever
il is grown, it gives largely increased
crops of corn, cotton and tobacco.
We have secured more liberal sup
plies of Crimson Clover than was ex-
pected and will be able to sell at
much more reasonable prices than
was anticipated.

full and interesting information a.
