Although the present European
war bids fair to eclipse any strug-

has ever known, it cannot last long
If the opposing forces were evenly
numbered the worst might be ex-
pected, but with Austria and Ger
many many times out-numbered by
the vast armies Of England, France
and Russia, the termination Of this
vast struggle is not far off. When
Russia completes the mobilization Of
her thousands and throws the bull

France and England striking with
all their strength against the Arm.

told that there is more gloom N

caused by excited Windjammers

Senator Overman is alert TO the
necessity Of providing money for
the smaller banking institutions to
move the cotton crop this fall. The
Senator would, under the amended
Aldrich- Vreeland act, organize a
currency association and get money
from the United States treasury
under this measure. BY doing this
the cotton situation will be greatly
relieved, as the tanners loans are
directly affected by the smaller
banks. If only the bigger banks OF
the State are supplied with funds q
greater rate Of interest will fal
upon the farmer who borrows money
handled from the larger banks
through the smaller ones. Witt
such organization as the Senator i
working for to relieve the presen
anprehersive mind Of the cottol
grower, the harvesting problem Wi
be solved.

LOCAL BUSINESS FIRMS FEAR
BAD RESULTS FROM war

The present war in Europe has
not only affected the great financial
markets of the universe upon which
it has direct bearing, but it has
been SO far-reaching as to cause the
gravest concern and apprehension IN
the business and agricultural circles
of Scotland Neck. Upon the decla-
ration Of war by England upon Ger
many several Of the business firms
Of Scotland Neck, upon whom the
farmer is dependent in harvesting
and no ing his crops, Immediately
cancelled their ordet g for fall Goods
| bought Of non thern houses. Others
who haven t done this have amended
their orders which subject them to
cancellation in the event that times
feared. One travelling man in Scot
land Neck last week remarked that
nowhere in the State had the people
become alarmed over the European
situation as they have here in Scot
land Neck. This gentlemen also as
serted that on this account he had
poorer business here than on any
: previous trip to Scotland Neck.
In fact, the merchants who rur
farmers here have become alarmed
TO the extent Of cutting down the
farmers credit from ter to fort,
per cent. They realize that the out
look if it 1nateriaEiZes will ruin then
E as they have every dollar they Owl
: tied up in the crops: and with fou
or five cent cotton several assign
| lnents are likely to be in order. TIL
e cause of the concern in business Gil
cles on account Of the war is partl
due to street gossip from the excite
ones. NJ Hoffman & Brother an
L Burroughs-Pittnlan- Wheeler Comps
r ny, probably the largest dealers j
= general merchandise in the counts
h are among the ones who have he
r. up their fall orders. These tW
firms are practically dependent-upo
