in his favor England, in al.
probability, will take American
cotton, after business over there
gets settled down on a war basis,
in very near normal amounts.
Cotton is a necessity of life and
cotton manufacturing is neces-
sary to England's very existence.
1t was 70 keep open the ports OF
the world to her manufactured
products principally cotton) IN
time Of war that she has main.
tanned the worlds great navy
Her mills will soon be running as
steadily as the mills Of America,
As far as France. Germany and
Austria are concerned the sltua
ton is quite different. None OF
those countries will use cotton tC
any great extent during the con
tinuation Of the war Their
normal export trade will be
handled either by English on
American mills.
1t must be pessimist indeed
who believes the world is gong
to 90 unclothed because two mil
lions of its twelve hundred mil
lions Of population are engaged
in a sanguinary contest.
The farmer who holds
his cotton is benehtting him
self and the South. That his
creditors should exert every eff
fort in their power to aid him
goes without saying.
Roanoke Rapids herald. [volume] (Roanoke Rapids, N.C.) 1914-192?, 1914-10-02
Hypocrisy

Both sides engaged in the Ii
tantic struggle which is shaking
the whole civilized world are
making bitter accusations against
each other on the grounds Of in
humanity, the use of dun dunn
bullets, the murder of noncombat-
ants. the destruction of unof-
Tending villages and priceless
works Of art impossible of re-
placement.
Both sides seem to have made
out a fairly complete case against
the other and both sides, in all
probability, are equally guilty.
Of course, the Germans have
done the most in the destruction
of property, the contest so far
having been Waged on ground
not German, but should circum-
stances become reversed, as
looks very likely Just now, and
the struggle be staged on Ger
man soil, the allies will exact a
costly and terrible reprisaI.
The thin veneer of civiIiza-
ton seems to be peeIing badly
it is brute against brute muir
der holding high carnival over
all the civilization mankind has
struggled forty centuries to eff
feet.
Aside from the spectacle of
human gore, the most revolving
feature Of the performance is
the cant and hypocrisy Of it all,
The protestations of innocence,
the prayer of each nation to the
God of all to give them strength
to murder and destroy the other
1t is blasphemy,
Roanoke Rapids herald. [volume] (Roanoke Rapids, N.C.) 1914-192?, 1914-10-02
The Cotton Situation

Three factors are responsible
for the steady improvement of
the cotton situation; the increas-
ing confidence being felt in this
country in regard to the business
conditions of the near future,
the increase in the demand for
the staple by American mills and
by England and the self help the
farmers have given themselves by
their strong tendency to hold on
to the crop and the agitation of
the Buy a Bale" movement.
1t is estimated that only five
per cent of the crop Of 1914 has
yet been put upon the market
and that has been taken by mills
needing cotton for immediate
consumption.
The thing for the Southern
farmer to do is to sit tight in the
boat and hold his cotton or as
much of it as he can hold with
out injury to his time merchant.
No man can forecast the flu
ture, but the farmer who holds his
cotton has nearly every chance

A Strong War Lesson on Adverting

The subject of the war situa-
ton and advertised goods is being
aptly considered in a series of
editorials by j. r. Hamilton in
the Chicago Examiner. Among
other striking things pointed out
by this expert is that advertis-
ing, rather than raising the cost
of living, is doing more to main
tain normal conditions than any
other force. Mr.. Hamilton de-
clares Not an advertised pro-
duet on the market has yet raised
its price"
This shows one thing: that the
businesses that advertise pledge
themselves to keep faith with the
people. They are not nameless
like the dealers in raw products
who have nothing to lose. They
have spent their money to create
a good name and they are wise
enough now in this crisis to main
tain it.
If ever the public had a good
lesson in advertising, that lesson
is being taught today.
Practically every unadvertised
store has raised its prices while
