Cotton Business Better, Is Reported

Cotton Business Better, Is Reported.
Despite the long suspension Of
business as result of the European
war, the annual report of the board
of directors of the New Orleans Cot
ton exchange shows that the business
in "spots" "free on board" and
guaranteed through" cotton has
amounted, in round figures, to 1,O00,-
900 bales, as compared with $4,000
bales last year.
According to the treasurer's report
there has been a gross movement
through his hands of $2O2,466, while
in the superintendent office there
has been a movement both ways on
account of margins of about $780,
900.
The report of the board touches on
the contemplated new exchange build
ing, $4,000 having already been in
vested in plans for the new building,
and while the war in Europe with its
unsettled influences has thrown the
prospects for new building into the
background, the question must be
met in the near future.
Reference is also made to the new
cotton warehouses now under con-
struction by the board of port COM
missioners, which the report says is
hoped to be in shape to handle the
crop of 1915-1916. The belief is also
expressed that the future business
will be on a more satisfactory basis as
result of the recent federal legisla-
ton.

The Regional Banks.

The twelve regional banks, about
which so much has been written, and
upon which so many hopes have been
conferred, opened last Monday week.
Their main object is to supply elastic
ity to the currency. They will make il
no easier for a man with no security
to get money, but it is expected that
they will make it easier to get ready
cash with which to finance any legiti-
mate enterprise. 1t is hoped that they
will prevent any more financial panics,
And as they are to convert negotia-
bic paper into liquid assets, they are
expected to increase the volume and
effectiveness of the currency of the
country.
The administration thinks the coun,
try is on the eve of unparalleled pros
perity and that these banks will be q
great factor in bringing it about. Let
us hope so, and that some of this pros
perity will find its way to Mississippi

THE WAR DEMON.
(For the Post.)

(For the Post.)
The demon War strobe forth one day
With his crimson flag unfurled
I'll send my millions of cohorts out
And bring woe to all the world.
He looked out on the fields Of grain,
I'll drench these with human gore;
Strife and despair I'll send abroad,
Where never was grief before.
He tlew blast with his trumpet
That echoed over sea ard land,
His inrps sprang up by thousands
And asked him for his command.
Go ye to the eastern countries,
p0r out the walls Of wrath,
! sratter the seeds of bitter hate,
Send death over all the earth.
They gladly obeyed his order,
Man against man was arrayed
Brother against brother opposed,
Father by son was betrayed.
The missiles of death are more hellish
Than science has ever known,
Wherever the battles RACES,
The plains with the dead are strewn.
44s.1
Millions Of men are fighting
While thousands Of women weep,
The wall of the little children
Is heard from over the deep.
Myriads of people are homeless,
And begging their daily bread,
When the darkness comes upon them
They've no place to lay their head.
The fields of grain they have trampled,
The cities have burnt with fire,
Bombs from above have exploded,
Crashing with horrors most dire.
Water is turned in the trenches
Where brave men await the foe,
How many soldiers have persisted,
Only the good Lord doth know.
OH our souls are wrung with anguish
For the starving children there
Wives and mothers who are weeping
In such deep and dark despair.
From every heart let prayers arise,
That this cruel war may cease.
God pity them all! Grant them now,
Thy Banner of love and peace.
