Preparing for Trade Conquest

Active preparation for the conquest of trade in South America is in progress Tn the United States, according to con- mercial men visiting Birmingham, and in this connection R. B. Hurst of the Florence hotel commented on one phas of this work of preparation.
 There promises to be no dearth of material from which to recruit trade scouts for the commercial conquest of South America he said. q notice that the Birmingham public night schools are to afford courses in Spanish instruction. Professor Scatori's work along this line is similar to that being carried on or protected by educational organizations in many cities throughout the country, and the result will be that the cities of the United States soon will have given many young men the groundwork for sue cessful careers in the new commercial field to the south of us.
 South America should be considered Q new field for the manufacturers and traders of this country. for the volume or business transacted between the Americas in the past has been absurdly small as compared with what 1t might have been and certainly will be-
 However, the teaching of Spanish to our youth will not spell success in this great adventure of trade. It has come to be generally understood that the Uni ted States cannot simply and casually step in and carry away the bulk of Latin American business. This trade that we are to win must be carried in Amer ioan bottoms, but before there will be cargoes to and fro for American ship ping there must be adequate banking ar- Eansements whereby commercial activi- ties may bc conducted with ease and certainty.
 While these necessary preliminaries are being perfected, it certainly is a good idea to train a few brigades of young sters for the victories of peace that lie before us as a nation.''

MORE MONEY AND SCARE MONEY From the New York World.


 From the New York World.
 This country's volume of money in cir- culation increased during September by the huge amount of $216144,4O4, of which emergency bank currency contributed s19S, 767.0oo The August increase was s11l, 200. 0O0 The increase for the two months reaches the wholly unprecedented total of above sa27 100000
 Yet money continues "scarce." The money market is tight Call loans are still quoted at 6 to 8 per cent. time loans the same, and money hard to get at these high figures. Business is depressed and needs less money to keep 1t, going when more money in great volume Is being fed out to the banks. Every natural element in the situation makes for an overabund. ance of money, easy credit and rates low beyond experience in recent years. That the situation should be the exact con trary of this reflects the play of artificial forces originating in fear or greed, or both.
 We now know that many of the banks have been hoarding, and particuarly the country banks. If individuals also have been hoarding. what wonder, when the banks have been setting the example. What was better calculated to spread fear and depression through the business world than this needless restriction of credit and extortionate interest charges on the part of the banks.

Mobiles Health Record

From the Mobile Item.
 Although September has always been looked upon as an unhealthy month it is gratifying to know that the city of Mobile, during the month just ended. enjoyed a remarkably healthy condition as evidenced by the report of the city health officer. The report shows that for the month the death totals for residents were: White 7.10 per 1000; colored 22Ss, as compared with 1l.55 and 2aS7 respective ly for the month of August The com Iarison is more marked when the figures for September of last year are taken into consideration, the report for Sep tember, 1913, being for white 10.44, col ored 23.96 per 1000 population of each. Of the deaths recorded for the past month and included in the figures given it might be well to state that 10 were from other than natural causes, or rather were due to accident or violence.

Distributipr the p,.

From the Marion County News
 We hope and believe that MT. Hender- son. when he assumes office next Jan- uary, will be the governor of all the people, and in giving out the offices at his disposal will pay no attention to whether a man was for or against him before the primary. The only question that should be considered in making ap- pointments Is as to qualifications and party loyalty and regularity. The peo- pie want competent democrats in office, and care nothing for who they supported in the primary. Just fair deal is all that is wanted.

Plan Needed First

From the Guntersville Democrat.
 Governor ONeal has given utterance to the most sensible remark we have seen, relative to relieving the depression inci- dent to low priced cotton. Being urged to call the legislature together for this purpose. the governor replied that he would convene the solons promptly, if some practical plan of relief is devised. That will doubtless end the argument.

IN ALABAMA SANCTUMS
Settling Mexico,s Hash

From the Mobile Register.
 This arranging battles on the Mexican border so that the rebellious bullets shall come over and hit American citi- zens and soldiers has got to stop. It is done in order to provoke American inter- vention. It seems to us that when this happens 1t would be well to send a police force over the line and bring all the shooters in, charging them with mali cious mischief, and fining each one slo or 10 days. We dignify it too much by making an international affair of 1t.

Let Farmers Decide

From the Gadsden Journal.
 Proposals to prohibit the growing of cotton in 1915, either by prohibitive tax or by direct legislative enaetments seems to us to be somewhat of a reflection upon the farmer. The gentleman who forms the backbone of our country should be credited with enough intelligence to know that 1t is not well to raise a large crop of cotton next year. and that it Is well to raise a large crop of grain food stuffs and stock.

ADRIFT WITH THE TIMES
A GREAT LEADER.

 An Emperor went to the front, With colors proudly flying; HIS soldiers bore the battles brunt, The wounded and the dying. C Cpon hill he viewed the scene, beyond the range of firing, or telephoned his troopers keen With energy untiring. Al noon ne scarcely stopped to take cup Q tea to warm him, Brewed by chef too prone to ouake Lest anything should harm him. ihe snaoes of night came down ere 1ons And closed the bloody battle. And quiet reigned the hosts among Save for the foe's death rattle. Informed the victory was won. The monarch's heart grew l,rhtar And much he plumed himself unon His prowess as 8 fighter.

Doubt the Evidence.

Again and again We have read OF
strangers in distant towns who have

But South Paris's pertinent question has
always been "Has anyone here in South
Paris been cured?" The word of a
stranger living a hundred miles away
may be true, but 1t cannot have the same
weight with us as the word of our own
citizens, whom we know and respect,
and whose evidence we can so easily
prove.
