Except for the fact that the same ca
tastrophe which destroyed the demand
for American cotton, trebled the de-
mand for western beef and wheat and
northern steel, ammunition and the
like, thus continuing the balance OF
trade in favor of the United States, we
have an idea that congress would have
been glad to do something to Valorize
the cotton crop. 1t is very well under
stood that the destruction of the trade
balance that has been in favor OF
America for so many years, would de-
preciate American values generally
and rather than have the value of their
property deprecated, the representa-
tives in congress from the north and
east would be willing to stand for al
most any kind of a financial expert
ment.

THE PROPOSED BOND ISSUE"
Brings Favorable Report
From Washington.

The committee Of the house that
went to Washington last week, to
learn how South Carolina's proposed
cotton bonds would be regarded by
the regional reserve banks, made its
report last night as follows:
Your committee, with the senate
members, laid the two questions in
doubt as to the bond issue before the
proper authorities in Washington.
First Will a farmers note to
cover an obligation contracted for ag-
ricultural purposes, secured by one OF
the proposed bonds, be eligible for
rediscount by a member bank with
the regional reserve bank and be eligi-
BILE to be placed as collateral by the
regional bank with the reserve agent
on which to issue currency?
THE Federal reserve board inform
ally gave its opinion that 1t could and
referred us to Mr.. Elliott, their coun-
sci, who gave 1t as his opinion that 1t
could be done, provided that the note
showed that 1t was given for an agri-
cultural or commercial purpose and
matured within 80 or 1S0 days, re-
spectively.
Second In rediscounting paper
with the regional reserve bank are
the national banks limited to the
amount Of their capital?
The comptroller Of the currency
holds that they are not, but are limit
ed by the sound discretion of the
board of directors Of the regional
bank.
THE comptroller also suggested
that our contemplated bond issue
should be handled by board Of nom
political business men, who would
protect the interest Of the state as
we'll as see that the loan relieved the
people who needed II most and the
bonds would have better standing In
all quarters If such were the case.
Optimism is the attitude Of mind
Of the administration and they feel
and say that II we can hold until the
market opens and then market grad
ually. living price can be obtained
and the credit Of the south can be
saved, but to do that two things are
necessary:
First. Some uniform and respon-
sble method OF warehousing the cot
ton and issuing receipts therefor.
which will guarantee the delivery or
the cotton, Of the amount and kind
described.
Second. Carrying Of the debts due
against cotton until the market can
be opened and every effort Is being
made to open the markets Of the
world.
I'VE had a very satisfactory inter-
view with the president who Is deep
ly interested in our problem and SYM
pathetic with the cotton producer and
who assured us that the administra-
tion was profoundly sensible Of the
importance Of the question now con-
fronting the south.
George w. Dick,
wv F.. Stevenson"
On motion Of Mr. Stevenson. the bill,
revised in accordance with the above
suggestions, was made a special order
for this morning at II o'clock.

81 am tired of war news and l wor

Il am tired of war news and | woui
rather read something else, said a
good friend of The Enquirer TO the edi-
tor, a few days since. And l agree
with you" said the editor. Il would
rather read anything l know of than
war news; but | do not see how l can
help you. The trouble is not with the
newspaper. Ii is with the war. And
after all it is with the war rather than
with the war news that our grievance
rests. If there was no war, there
would be no war news. and 50 long as
there is a war, war news must have
the right of way. Cut it out you say?
How? There would be nothing else to
materially, financially, intellectually,
and even morally and spiritually.
Why, the very preachers in the pulpits
are unable to refrain from drawing il
lustrations and preparing lessons from
the war. And this is natural and prop
er. They cannot afford TO refrain from
that which is dominating the concern
of the people. and they cannot stop the
war. We cannot. We can only go on
giving you news and information about
il as best we can, and you can only
go on reading everything you see. Tired
Of it? Why certainly you are; but
don't you see that you can't help your
self? There is going on right now the
most momentous and widespread event
in the history of the world. You can
no more stop it or influence it than Il
Gather can check the progress of cy-
clone; but still you have your part to
play with reference TO yourself and
other people the same as if there was
no war and you have got TO keep up
with what is going on in order that
you may the better know how to man
age that part with which you are re-
spoasible-yOur own affairs

It is reasonably certain that there
will be more wheat and oats, especially
oats, sown in York county than mas
ever before been known. Already thou
sands of acres Of oats have been sown'
and there is much more sowing to De
done. OF course there are those who
look forward to plenty Of cotton next
wear as usual; but most people seem
to realize that there is no reasonable
probability Of fair price for cotton
even though only half crop be raised
and there will be a heavy reduction
regardless of any restrictive laws that
may be passed.
