 Visitors

Among the visitors to the Doster- Northington Drug company last week was MT. Speerman. manager of the Wikle Drug company at Anniston Mrs. speerman accompanied her husband.
 MT. Speerman said that business in Calhoun county was easily holding its own. The farmers, he said, are dis posed to hold on to their cotton, but with the announcement by the British government that cotton would not be regarded as contraband of war the sit nation has assumed a much rosier hue and the outlook Is promising.
 Other visitors to the Doster-North- fngton company's store were:
 MT. Wilson of Wilson Brothers Drug company, Brilliant; D. P. Cannon, a prominent druggist of Coaling.

 she will no longer be dependent upon
 harbors that for months each year are
 icebound She will have breathing
 room, space in which to stretch her gi- gantic bulk; opportunity to expand without pushing her breast against the
 lance of the Uhlan or her back against
 the sword of the Samurai.
 England now holds Gibraltar and the

 nation servilely devoted to her inter- ests. the Mediterranean indeed would be a British lake. Would this be we'll for the rest of the world? Would 1t meet with the approval of France, of Italy, of the Slavic Balkans?
 1 The Russia of 1914 is not the Russia that was beaten by the Nipponese. The she-bear of the snows has often been | pelted and pestered, but she has never been hurt. Like Antaeus she renews | her strength from contact with the earth. In the battles along the Russo Prussian frontier for days the Germans were amazed by the freshness of the 1 armies they engaged. Exhausted Teu l tons were compelled to face enemies
 who showed no weariness or depression from the battles waged in constant suc- l cession. Then the Germans discovered l that the Russians were fighting in re- lays Grand Duke Nicholas had so many troops that he could employ corps unfatigued and unbroken in each en- l gagement. With work such as this in l a few months Russia will have a host 1 of veterans such as the world has never seen before. when both numbers and l training are taken into consideration.
 Will these myriads make peace that 1 they feel robs them of the fruits of victory after efforts lasting genera | tions? Hardly. I do not know that England will attempt to interpose her. self between Russia and Constantino- | ple It may be that Great Britain, ! France and Italy would much prefer to see Russia spread herself southward rather than westward. But this l be- | 1ieve: Russia will get what she wants l if Germany and Austria are beaten. If not, we may witness another exhibition | of what occurred after Servia Bulgaria, 1 Greece and Montenegro had brought the | Sultan to his knees.
 It was a sad day for Turkey when it
 permitted Germany to influence her | into a violation of neutrality. It Is not natural to think that the Kaiser, pro-
 fessing as he does, deep conviction that he Is fighting the battles of Chris l tianity, would try to foment relig-
 ious war. Mohammed V. as the head or LJslam. by the unfurling of the green 1 flag of the prophet, could summon mil- lions to arms. But as Hotspur so pertinently asked Glendower: would they come?"

ent crop. The farmers should SOW ali the land they can in oats, wheat and similar q ops this fall and not wait until next spring to do so. The government crop reports will be watched closely by cotton buyers and every acre planted now in other crops will have telling effect on the price.
 Now, as to business: There will always be q demand for goods. People will go on living, working and consuming, no matter what happens, but now is the time to watch your business closely anu to practice economy in conducting it.
 Your credit is your best asset-keep it up. Collect from those who owe you and pay those whom you owe. You may not bs able to do all this at once, but collect as fast as you can aud pay as fast as you can. This will keep money circulating When you are out of debt you. will scarcely know that the European war Is going on, and it will be thus with your Customers when they discharge their ohli- cations. All of us must make some eacri- flee at this time, but credit is the one thing which cannot be sacrificed No greater opportunity will you ever have to build up your credit. Do it.

Boy Grabbed Deadly Snake

From the Philadelphia Record.
 York. Pa.-The next time 15-year-old Thomas Graves of Hallam pulls snake out of hole by its tail he will first make certain what kind of a snake it is. Of the many varieties of snakes In York county there is just one that is venomous, and it happened to be a 33-inch copper head that Graves grabbed.
 The reptile turned like a flash, and struck the boy on two fingers of his right hand. He was hurried to the office of the nearest physician, his arm swollen to several times its natural size. The promptness of medical attention, how ever, saved his life.

MT. Moore's statement follows


 "We must not let our present dis tress tempt us to depart from the rules of safe finance; and we must quit looking to the federal govern ment for aid. While approaching what our representatives at Washing ton have tried to do for us, we should wake up and realize that the problem of the price of cotton and the relief of growers cannot be worked out by special laws, as these would violate the principles of sound legislation and create precedent which would give us great trouble in the future.
 Our difficulties will continue until ,he law of supply and demand establishes a lair price for cotton. In the meantime, what can be done? The answer is much, but we must do it ourselves How?
 First, by using every effort to prevent the fatal mistake of planting large crop Of cotton next year. We have cotton enough to last two years. under present adverse conditions. and crop of even normal size in 1915 would not only depre- ciate the price of the cotton we now have in hand, but prevent the new crop from selling for anything like the cost of pro- duction.

GEW|NNER EXPECTS GREAT PROSPERITY
 IN NEAR FUTURE
Says Business Men Are Op- timistic and That Trade Is Opening up More
 and More

H. G. Gewinner manager of the au- tomobile accessories department of the Turner Electric Supply company, re- turned last week from short busi- ness trip to Nashville, Knoxville, Chat tanooga and Memphis. MT. Gewinner said that in the first three cities he did not find a merchant or a citizen who mentioned "hard times,' and only one man in Memphis who thought the times were hard. This man, he said, was on the way to an asylum for the insane and was irresponsible.
 '"The times are not bad said MT. Gewinner. If I observed the signs cor rectly. I found 1t very easy to get orders and established two agencies while away. Everyone with whom I talked seemed very optimistic and said that business was very good. Of course, it is not by any means so good as it will be within the next three months, but at the present time mer- chants are enjoying good business.
 Tn the very near future the United States Is going to be more prosperous than ever before in it's history There is no way to dodge the issue The country is bound to be prosperous and the people may as well prepare for it. Trade daily is opening up more and more, money is becoming easier, the cotton situation is practically solved, and the federal reserve banks soon will be doing business.
 There Is no excuse for talk of hard times and as soon as business men cease tnlking and get back to work pros perity will come. And all but two or three are now working. When the oth- CTS start the wheels of prosperity will begin to revolve at high speed"
