IN BONDED WAREHOUSES;.

1t is apparent that the cotton producer n1ns'
be furnished with quick money at a low rate q
interest with which to finance his crop, as de-
clared at the Southern Cotton Congress IN the ss-
sion held at Washington Friday. WIN TINS the
necessity for bonded warehouses for cotton IS
made evident, the two measures going together
Following the position taken By the Cotton
Congress on these matters representative NIngo'
of Arkansas. introduced in the House the measure
which had been endorsed. This would authorze
the Federal Reserte Board to issue Federal re-
serve notes to either State or national banks, on
twelve months notes, secured by cotton ware
house receipts or liens on cotton. Currency would
be issued on seventy-hve per cent of the value of
the cotton, this based on the average prlce OF
cotton for the past FIVE years, each bank to be
allowed to secure 125 per cent of the amount OF
its capital and surplus currency. The bill offered
would provide that currency should be issued only
against notes secured by cotton which bear less
than four per cent interest.
In the Cotton Congress several delegates favored
four per cent interest. DR.. H. Q. Alexander, presi-
dent of the North Carolina Farmers Union, urged
the need of twelve months notes at three per
cent interest. Whatever the rate which is finally
fixed by Congress the necessity for bonded ware
houses must be recognized. A bill for such ware
houses has been drawn up and presented by SEN
ator Hoke Smith and Representative Lever after
consultation with officials of the Department of
Agriculture, Commerce, and the Treasury, this
bill approved by the Cotton Congress.
Under this bill the Secretary of Agriculture
would be authorized to grant licenses to bonded
warehouses and to provide for the issuing of re-
ceipts for the cotton stored. Secretary Houston,
of that department, urges~as a matter needed in
this connection to relieve the situation the pass
age of the measure pending in Congress which
provides for the Standardization of cotton. This
act, he holds, would not alone prove of the great
est possible service at this time, but would prove
OF value under normal conditions. With the
bonded warehouses and the cotton standards act
made into law without delay his belief is that in
thirty or forty days the cotton first moving could
be cared for and cotton ready later for market
would be protected as it appeared. Here is a
practical plan of giving aid to the cotton produc-
es which should receive speedy attention.

THIS GRIEF WE KNEW NOT.

The Suddennesso Of the sad news from the White
House that the wife of the President was passing
away brought 10 great numbers IN this country a
realization OF the immense services which had
been performed BY President Wilson while his
heart was sore afflicted with a private grief CT
which only most intimate friends OF the family had
any knowledge. Great affairs affecting this ooun-
try were IN his keeping, and yet not until almost
the last ray OF hope had gone was the world per
mitted to know of the home sorrow which was
upon him.
His was a grief of which the world knew not.
and that under such circumstances he could go
forward with the great duties Of his position
has brought the hearts of the people very close
to Woodrow Wilson, the Man. Many articles
paving tribute to the President have been writ
ten, these deep in sympathy that he met so hero
cally that supreme hour Of sadness III his HE
when it brought to him the bidding OF farewell
to the wife of his youth, the devoted partner Of
his Joys and his sorrows. One Of the very best
editorials which we have read bearing upon this
appeared in the Chicago Herald. 1t 50 impresses
us that it is here reproduced, the editorial under
the caption, This Grief We Knew Not" reading
The eyes of all thinking Americans-the eyes
of all humane men and women throughout the
world-have been fixed on Woodrow Wilson.
President of the United States, in the hope that
he nllSnL De aDle 10 90 something TO Wdlu OH or
end the greatest calamity that has ever beiallen
the human race.
We knew he could do little or nothing. Yet
we hoped he could do something We have seen
him doing all he could. Yet some of us have
been impatient, perhaps, that he did not do more.
Some of US have thrust upon him advice, even
cries and clamor, to do this or that.
Absorbed in contemplation of a world calam-
ity-fearful lest it might somehow hurt us-wc
knew not, or have forgotten if we knew, what
might be the griefs of Woodrow Wilson the Man,
as we'll as the burdens of Woodrow Wilson the
President.
He hid that private grief as long as it could
be hidden. With his high sense of public duty
he avoided exposing that grief lest it might seem
that he put it forward as an excuse for not doing
more for humanity at large.
IF any of us have found fault with him, what
must now be our shame when we learn that
Woodrow Wilson's appeal yesterday to the war
ring nations for peace was written as he sat by
the bedside of his dying wife.
This grief he had we knew not. Knowing It

to Woodrow Wilson-to the President who hid
his private grief lest it might seem to hinder him
IN his public duty-to Woodrow Wilson The

BEST IN THE WORLD.

In an article in this paper today which has to
do with matters of the war in Europe with rela-
ton to this country, Mr.. D.. A. Tompkins, of Char.
lotte, prominent in the cotton manufacturing
world, makes a statement that shows the high
place assigned the constructive work of the Will
son administration in the matter of the new cur
rency law.
Discussing the matter of the proper thing to be
done with reference to cotton, how to get our
raw cotton to the mills which continue to be
operated in Europe, and how to get our manu-
featured goods there, he rightly says that the
people of Europe cannot go without clothes, and
that the European government will have to make
arrangements to get them there, then: Added to
this is the fact that the new banking system is
just going into effect, and this provides ample
credit from the government to the farmer through
banking channels to make it easy to carry and
handle cotton IN any way he desires, or can ar
range with his local banker. Heretofore France
has had the best banking system in the world,
and it has had its influence on the farming in
terest. This new banking system in America
seems to outstrip that of France in it's influence
to develop the interests Of the farmer" The high
praise which Mr.. Tompkins gives the Glass-Owen
currency bill is praise fully justified.
Another statement of interest hight now IS Mr..
Tompkins' view that the war in Europe is a
commercial war, that at the very bottom of it
is the conflicting trade interests between the
great powers of Europe; that this is so, though
admitting that there is also IN it the racial qucs-
ton, the clash between Slav and Teuton, and the
antagonSm which has come between a hberal
form Of government on the one side and an auto
cracy on the other. The views set forth in the
article will be read with interest.

sT9H1S is the month OF August, according to
- mems talk; and now the ~sprightly toggist
lays in his winter stock. His heavy clothes he's
getting, big shipments every day, while yet we're
soreIy sweating and shooting flies away. The ur-
bane, genial geezers who run the hardware store,
are chuckng ice cream freezers
AUGUST. where they'll be seen no more; and
from dark hiding places, in attics or
IN sheds, they bring, with cheerful faces, last win
tiers skates and sleds. The corn is turning yellow,
the grass will shortly die, the pumpkins grow
ing mellow, and almost fit for pie. So let us prize
and cherish fair Augusts sizzling heat, for it will
shortly perish, the warmth that can't be beat.
The gladstone flies that cheer us will seek another
cline, for Autumns drawing near us, and good
old Winter time. It's surely rather funny that
DER free heat we fret, for soon well pay out
money when we would raise a sweat. Around the
old baseburner all shivering We'll squat, and wish
we could return or relapse to August hot. So let
all lads and lasses enjoy this happy month in
every year that Passes it cometh only oneth.
