Ameer of Bokhara Said to Be Storing
Up Treasure at the Rate Of
$e,0Oo,oo0 Year.

Ameer Of Bokhara, the Russian vassal
state in Central Asia, writes the st.
Petersburg correspondent Of the New
York Sun. According to the Turke-
stanskiye Kraj the Ameer possesses
in his stronghold vault 315 feet long
IS feet wide and 20 feet high, COM
pletely filled with gold bars and coined
gold.
Some years ago the Ameer had an.
other vault built to hold his savings
and the new storehouse is now almost
full. There is at the 'Bokharan court
an enormous cash book, which has
served for generations and in which
all revenues and expenditures are sup
posed TO be put down, but also for gen
erations it has never been checked
with the cash in hand"
Grating is the easiest thing in the
world at Bokhara. The Ameer's Off
,ials draw no salary. They are ap
pointed on the understanding that
hey must keep themselves on what
;hey can make out of their various
offices. There is no budget, and the
largest permanent charge on the
Ameer's income Is one of $4,000 an
nually for q local hospital. Then there
is a small contribution toward the up
keep Of the Russian police in the pro
tectorate and the maintenance OF the
Bokharan army" which has shrunk
to a mere bodyguard.
The Amccr's annual savings, 1t ts
calculated, amount to more than SS,-
100000 year. He IS by traditional
usage compelled to send every year
a number of valuable presents" to
the Russian authorities at Samarkand
and Tashkent. These presents con-
sist of carpets, silks and the like,
which are Immediately sold by the re-
cipients 20 native traders, from whom
the Ameer as regularly buys them
back at fixed prices, TO be stored up
and to serve again rs presents the
following year.

DR.. PARkEK'S TWO SERMONS
And How He Got the Morning Con.
sresation Back to His Church
at Night.

A characteristic story Of DR.. Parker
was told by a minister who had 1t
from an old minister who was much
interested in Joseph Parker's early
work as a local preacher, says the
British Weekly. One Saturday he met
Parker and asked him whether he had
an engagement for Sunday. Yes,
was the reply.
Are your sermons ready. Joseph"
asked the minister
. Il have the morning sermon" was
the reply. but | am not sure about
the evening.
We'll, Joseph, what is your text for
the morning and how do you treat it?'
Parker went over his text and the
outline of his sermon.
"But, Joseph" said the minister.
that is very clever, but it is not the
real meaning OF the text II you will
look at the commentaries you will see
that you are wrong"
Parker thanked him and went his
way. On the Monday the minister
again met his friend.
We'll, Joseph, how did you get on
yesterday"
Very we'll" was the reply.
"How did you MANAGE"
We'll" he said, "in the morning
preached my sermon and explained
the text IN my way, and at the close |
said: This is how understand ii. But
learned men understand it differently,
and I will tell you In the evening how
the learned men understand it.
They all came back in the evening,
and Joseph had a happy day.

establishment of a closer relationship
between tie manufacturer and the

Mr.. Hamer is a modest man and 1t
is extremely difficult to get him to
speak of any of his successes or
achievements in life. 1t was with re-
luctance that he consented to the use
Of his name in connection with this
article, but the only way the people
can Judge of a mans fitness for pub
lie office is by knowing what he has
accomplished as a private citizen. and
it is nothing but fair to the people OF
South Carolina and matter of simple
justice to Mr. Iiamer himself for
these facts to be given the widest
publicity.
Mr.. Hamer was born on the farm
and is the son of farmer. He is one
of four sons. all of whom are promi.
nent farmers of the Pee Dee country.
His father before him was a success.

day and time. and could have reared
his sons in ease and luxury, but being

Mr.. Hamer is endorsed in writing

Several years ago an enterprlsing
merchant-farmrr in small Eastern
Carolina town slipped away to Liver
pool and Rad 4 C":Ct conference with
the president of large cotton man
ufacturing establishment. When the
merchant-farmer returned home he
exhibited to his fellow merchants and
farmers contract. whereby he was
to purchase cotton on his local mar
ket, ship it to the nearest compress
and then bill it direct to the European
manufacturer. II was the first time
in the history of the cotton industry
that European manufacturer and a
local cotton buyer had been brought
together. II was the first attempt that
had ever been made to eliminate the
middle-men in the handling of the
worlds greatest crop. In that contract
the European manufacturers and the
American producer had been brought
closer together than ever before IN
the history Of the cotton industry
Able lawyers who passed upon the
provisions of the contract said that II
granted an equal measure of protec-
ton to both buyer and seller. Finan-
riers who looked 1t over said 1t was
the beginning of a new and better
era in the handling of the cotton crop
in that it brought the Southern cotton
field to the Threshold Of the European
spinning room. But the Fates so will
ed it that before the plan could be
put into practical operation death
stilled the heart and hand of this far
seeing merchant and farmer. and that
contract which no doubt would have
meant so much to Southern cotton
Planters became an inactive asset Ol
a litigatcd estate.
But the germ or the idea did not
die With this cntcrpriSlng m@rrhaht'
farmer: It found lOdgment in the FER
tile brain of Il young cotton manulac-
turer of the Pee Dee section. III the
European manufacturer sees an al
vantage in getting closer to tn" pro-
Queer why not get closer to him my
self?" reasoned this young manufac-
tnrer. "Why not buy my cotton direct
instead of through the broker, and
divide the commission with the farm
ero' Thereupon he went upon the
local cotton market in competition
with buyers for brokers and export
ers. and the price Of cotton advanced
nearly fifty points the first day on
tie strength Of his buying. He con.
tinued the fight throughout the sea-
son, bought every bale Of cotton his
mills needed first hand from the farm
or and not only saved money for him
self. but added thousands of dollars

native county That man was W. NJ.

ion. Hamer and Map?e Cotton Mills,

WAR PRICES FOR COTTON
Demand Will Not Cease. But is
Temporarily suspended
Home and Farm says:

Home and Farm says:
During our Civil war the produc-
ton of cotton was almost suspended.
and The price advanced to $l.S5
pound.
The war situation is different. The
production of cotton has not been
suspended. On the contrary, we
have produced large and val
unable crop of cotton, and have it to
sell.
American mills take less than one
half of the crop in normal times but
the interruption of communication
between England. France and Ger
many on the one hand, and the rest
of the world, on the other, brings
opportunity to the American mill
Of the world. on the other, brings
owners. They will work extra time
with extra shifts and consume a much
klarger proportion of the American
crop than before.
Again. foreign mills will not be
entirely suspended. Nations cannot
cary on war. unless at the same time
they can carry on, uninterrupted, the
normal productions in years of peace.
Armies in the field have to be fed
land clothed, as we'll as the great
population at home. 1t is impera-
Tive. therefore. that each government
should see that there is as little in
terruption as possible. in the opera
lion of the mills, factories, mines
and farms. even of the war afflicted
nations
The demand abroad for new cot
Ton will not, therefore, cease abso-
lutely. The problem will be to get
cotton from the American market.
German warships may strive to cap
ture cotton destined for English mar
cts, Cotton may become though it
lis not now. "contraband" and it
would have to take the chances OF
Icontraband trade.
In the meantime Congress is bend
ing every energy toward the crea-
ton of ships for the American traffic
labroad. Morseover, every relief pos
siblc will be given to the farmer. 70
enable him to hold his crops Of corn
or wheat or cotton, or to find for them
a market at war prices.
TemporilI. the cotton price suf-
fers; but this decline will be follow
ed by a reaction and bring the prices
mp to reasonable figures
Home and Farm advises every man
who can hold his cotton to hold it;
not compel this sacrifice. The gov
ornment cannot afford to sec great
industry wrecked.
Likewise we advise men who have
wheat to sell to hold it. The markets
everywhere shows that the demand
will exceed the supply, and prices are
lready reaching the dollar mark.
