COLONEL COHEN SAYS WAR
AFFORDS US OPPORTUNITY
Believes That Western Carolina Should
Take Advantage Of Situation for
Winter Tourists.

Col. Sanford H. Cohen, manager of
the Greater Western Carolina associa-
ton, has forwarded the following let
tiers to organizations in the various
towns and cities of Western Carolina:
'Asheville, NC, Aug. %, 1914. !.
Board of Trade.
Gentlemen: Behind every cloud
there is a bright sky. The sky is al
ways bright, however, in Western
North Carolina, while the darkness
prevails in great many countries and
sections by the acts of the ruthless
rulers of warning nations.
western North Carolina, however.
is now passing through the most sue
cessful tourist summer season ever
known to these mountains, and it is
the only section of American or Eu-
rope where the season has beel ;.p l.,
the standard.
while it is never right to take adj
vantage of the misfortunes of others,
there will be thousands of people anx-
ious to leave war-scarred Europe when
the smoke of battle and the devastat-
ing work it had done is cleared away.
cit is for this reason that / am
writing you asking that we get togeth-
er so that when the opportune time ar
rives we will be prepared to bring the
best of these people, who want to in
vest, to the lands of Western North
Carolina that offer more inducement
to the provident settler than any part
of the world. Will you kindly let me
know what time your board of trade
will meet, so that we can talk with
you on this subject?
Yours truly,
SANFORD H. COHEN,

A certain man was called upon to
pay bill for which he had issued a
check several months before. He
turned to his file of paid checks and
found the one issued in this particu-
lar caseo
There was the date, the amount, the
name of the party paid and also the
Endorsement on the back of the check
by the man who received the money.
The evidence given by the check
settled the dispute at once.

REMEMBER YOUR LAST
DOSE OF CALOMEL

You probably recall the bad after
effects Of the calomel more than the
sickness you took it for. You need
never again go through with being
"all knocked out for day or two by
calomel"
Next time your liver gets sluggish
end inactive, we urge that you go to
JUstus' Pharmacy for a bottle of bod
sons Liver Tone, splendid vegetable
liquid medicine that will start your
liver as surely as caIomel ever did and
with none of the +after-effects of Gallo
mel. 1t is absolutely harmless both to
children and. adults and demands nc
restriction of habits or diet.
A large bottle of Dodson's Liver
Tone costs only fifty cents and the
druggists who sell it guarantee it to
take the place of calomel. and will re-
fund your money if it fails in your
case or if you are not satisfied.

Board of Trade,
Gentlemen:-It is a source of con-
siderable congratulation to the people
of Western North Carolina to know
that, while business generally has been
dull at all resorts of America, Wes-
torn North Carolina has retained sH-
premacy as the greatest summer re-
sort section of America. The business
this season has been tremendous. Last
year was a banner year in the history
CT this section This season has been
better than last season notwithstand-
ing the disturbed conditions of the
country, and added to this the break
ing out of war.
at behooves us now to make prep
arations for the fall, winter and COM
ing summer in order to keep this
great tourist section the Land of the
Sky, the Sapphire country and the
Land of Waterfalls, pre-eminently the
greatest tourist section of America.

PEANUT BAGS COME HIGH.

Washington. = Congressman small
called the attention of the department
of Justice today to the complaint OF
the peanut growers Of North Carolina
that makers of burlap bags have taken
advantage of the war to double the
price of bags. Contracts for delivery
OF bagging have been held up until
the increased price demanded is forth
coming. In many counties OF the
state peanuts rank with tobacco and
cotton as the staple crop. Mr.. Small
said that he believed there was ample
supply on hand at the factories but
that in anticipation of curtailed inn
portation of burlap from Europe the
manufacturers are attempting to re-
alize heavily on the supply at hand.

PRESIDENT WILSON PLANNING
SAFEGUARDING TOUR. WEST

Westinghouse we'll satisfied are
democratic leaders with the political
outlook, President Wilson may decide
not to make his contemplated speech
making tour in October. His tentative
plan was to visit the middle west.
Although no authoritative an
Srouncement of change in program
has come from the White House, it
is known that the president and his
advisers do not now regard it neces-
sary for him to make Swing around
the circle" in order to insure the in
dorsement in November Of the admin
istration and it's policies.
Never at any time has the president
of other chieftians of the party here
doubted that he country would ap-
prove of the democracy to better con-
however, Mr.. Wilson had considered it
his duty to personally go before the
country in short campaign tour.
While it is by no means certain that
the president will not follow his origi-
raj plan, it is conceded thai it now
will be decidedly difficult for him to
travel far from the seat of government
for more than a few days at time.
He may find it advisable to go into
nearby states, Pennsylvania and New
York, and there is a chance, if the
opportunity offers, that he may make
a few quick trips to states as far west
as Missouri. All this depends on cir
cumstances and the war situation a
month hence.
Wants to Clean Slate.
In the meantime strenuous efforts
will be made by democratic leaders.

the calendar of all pending legislation
CT Importance before October l. If
possible congress probably will adj
journ by that date There are many
here, however, who believe congress
may not adjourn at all this session.
but merely recess late in October over
the election.
The president is anxious to clean
the slate of all administration bills as
soon as possible. 1t was at his sug-
gestion that a conference of senate
democrats was called for next We'd
nesday to agree on the bills to be
passed without delay. He also ap-
proves of the determination of Ma
jority Leader Underwood to keep the
house working at top

100000 BALES COTTON.

Washington, D. CA bumper crop
CT cotton which may equal OF exceed
the record crop of 1911 when final re-
turns are made, is indicated by the
Department of Agriculture's report to-
day, showing the condition of the
crop on August % to be Is per cent
OF normal.
A total production of 100000 bales
of 5OO-pounds gross weight is inter-
preted by the department experts from
the condition figures. This is 1885,
900 bales more than forecast from the
July condition figures, the result of
excellent growing conditions through
out the cotton belt during August.

miles west of Rutherfordton, N. c., on
public road, half mile from Charlotte,

highway, about one third level, bal
ance hill, valley and slope land, wa
tered by numerous springs and run
ming streams, will produce cotton,

PLANT MORE GRAIN CROPS.
Farmers Advised to go to Grain Crop
and Take Advantage of War Prices.

Farmers Advised to go TO cram crops
and Take Advantage of War Prices.
The following letter from the Ashe-
vile Board Of Trade to Buncombe
county farmers will also apply to far
mers in Henderson and other western
counties:
To the Farmers of Buncombe County:
All Indications point to grain as the
money crop for the farmer during the
coming year.
In view of the conditions brought
about by the great European war there
will naturally arise an increasing de-
mand for wheat and corn. The price
has already advanced considerably and
shows every indication of further in
crease.
This condition presents splendid
opportunity for our farmers to profit
largely through planting more wheat
this fall and more corn next spring.
Many of the European wheatffelds
will be idle next year because the men
are at the front fighting.
The Asheville Board of Trade, there
fore, urges every farmer in Buncombe
county and western North Carolina to
profit by present conditions by plant
ig more wheat, more corn, and other
grains.
Agricultural experts are agreed that
land plowed during winter months give
greater yield than with spring blowing.
Also that subsoiling is very valuable
as a crop increaser.
Yours very truly,
ASHEVILLE BOARD OF TRADE,
Agricultural Department,
J. A. NICHOLS, Chairman.
N. BUCKNER, Secretary.
Mr.. J. L. Allen of the Gypsy section
ton was in the city last week.

STORAGE FOR RICHMOND COUNTY
Buckingham Post.l

While it is an assured fact that a
large storage warehouse will be built
at once to accommodate good per
cent of the cotton crop, it is not GER
tain exactly how many bales will be
provided for. When it is built and
ready stockholders will of course have
preference in the matter of storage
space, and it thus becomes necessary
that every farmer who plants cotton
should become stakeholder in the en-
terprise.
