The following note of Peace, Pros
perfty and Confidence" from the Com-
mercial National Bank Of Raleigh is
worth passing along:
Peace, because Americans have no
aspirations for conquest through war
and because, due in a large measure to
the influence of our Industrious George
Washington, we have entered into no
entangling European alliance. 1--WE
want none).
Prosperity. because in our history
this country has never been blessed
with a greater foundation for future
progress and betterment. Our crops
are overlooking the graneries and
warehouses. Our manufacturers and
were never larger. eve want more).
Confidence, because being a peace
loving people with greater reason than
ever before to partake of prosperity as
the result of our labors in the field and
workshop, VIZ refuse to allow disturb
ances in other lands to interiors with
our peace of mind or usual occupa-
tons.
We expect to write and bring to mind
tl;is Nations wealth and progress as il
actually exists today and feel confident
you will be one of the great army o.
optimists that will Americans tc
forge to the front more than ever be-
fore through the industry and perse.
verance.
This is well said and the fine senti'
ment expressed ought to touch q re
sponsive chord in every line Of bust
ness from one end of the country Z
the other. Let the despicable pessi
mist be relegated to the rear and th'
calamity bowler to the scrap-heap. Thu
slogan of true American citizen shoult
be Peace, prosperity, confidence"

MILLS NEED ~DYEsTIrFFs.

Washington, April "a gloomy
view of the Immediate future of the
American textile industry was pre-
scented at the White House and the
State Department today by a commit
tee representing 400 mills, headed by
former Representative Metz OF New
York. Unless some relaxation of the
British blockade is obtained and Ger
dyegtuffs reach them within six
weeks time, Mr.. Metz declared, 270
mills will be forced to close and 100000
operatives be thrown out Of work.

The passing of Col. A. b. Andrews
is deeply regretted by the people OF
Western North Carolina, We all re-
allied long since that the Wonderful
development Of our beautiful section
is due largely to the massive brain, the
irdomitable courage and the undyins
friendship of Colonel Andrews. The
Western North Carolina railroad
stands as a monument to his memory
which time only can eHace. Our peo-
pie held Colonel Andrews I'm the high
est esteem and he has often remarked
upon their friendship. which he ap-
peared to greatly appreciate. We Join
his mer friends throughout
North Carolina and the South in ex-
rressions of deepest regret that we
shall no longer enjoy the benefit Of his
wise counsel and feel the personal
touch of his magic hand in the devel-
opment Of waste places. He loved
North Carolina and her people and
they, in turn. loved him. But he has
gone to his reward and we can only
emulate the example set by him in the
exercise of our time and talent in an
earnest endeavor to leave the world
better than we found it.

The price of cotton has been steadily
advancing the past two weeks, due, 1t
is believed. to Increased estimates o.
export requirements and a hullish view
of general trade and financial condi-
lions prevalent in commercial centers.
The feecy staple is being marketed at
around ten cents the pound, with pros
meets of continued activity on the prin'
cipal markets of this country and else
where. All Of which signifies an I'M
mediate improvement in business con-
ditions and better times for the farm
ers who have been in sore distress
since the demand for their principal
products practically ceased six months
ago. And let it be remembered that
this favorable reaction in business
conditions ia being experienced while
La great Democrat guides the destinies
of this great Republic.

THE BUSINESS MANAGER PLAN
OF CONDUCTING CITY'S AFFAIRS.

Is the business manager plan of lad
ministering the affairs Of a city o
success or a failure?
That is a question in which every
taxpayer of Hendersonville should be
greatly interested for the reason that
an election will take place in May and
it rests with the new officers to say
Y neither they will discard the present
modern method and resort to the old
or continue under the plan follow
ed for the past two years.
In order that the people may be cor
rectIy guided in this matter the DEM
-ocrat sought and has secured from
Business Manager George w. Justice
an account of not only his stewardship
but that of the present administra-
ton. This statement is interesting
and instructive and makes an excel
lent showing for the administration.
Although there has been no cessa-
ton in public improvements. the re-
Fort shows that the receipts for ordl-
nary purposes in 1914 over those OF
1913 were SO 354.89 while the expenses
in 1914 were in excess of those OF,
1913 only $1,102.24. This represents
economy in many respects. By rea-
son of persistent and thorough sys-
tematic methods in the collection OF
water rents there was an increase OF
{, 300. 95. Of course there was 2
small increase in the amount of water
consumed. but not a sufficient one to
make an advance of 5 2 ,9O0.95 in col
ieetions for water, the increase being
mostly due to thorough and systematic
collections.
The present plan tends to c~entralize
duties and responsibilities and to
economic in the matter of salaries,
since the business manager and city
clerk perform the duties Of various
salaried officers at less cost than un
der the old plan. The $3.50 salary OF
the street overseer has been dispens-
ed with as well. as the SIS salaries Of
chairmen of certain committees, and
that Of a city engineer, which approx
mated $500. All these offices cost the
city $2,700 while the business manager
and city clerk do the major portion Of
the work done by them but at a salary
of $1,000. BY reason of Mr.. Justices
experience as an engineer his special
work in preparing maps of the GEM
etery and sewer system, and of the
surveying he did for the greater part
of the paving last summer has been an
item of no little importance to the city.
Under the present arrangement the
work of the commissioners should be
considerably lighter yet just as eff
cient since the manager assumes many
Of their duties. 1t seems that there
would be a considerable saving in me-
terial purchased since the manager
would be in closer touch with the sup
plies and prices than were the differ
ent purchasers under the old plan.
The present plan has many advantages
aver the old method.
Read Mr.. Justices statement care
fully. for it contains a volume Of val
liable information.
The Democrat believes the business
manager plan is a success, that it is
sound in principle and that it should
be continued.

NEWARK, Del. Sept. 1S.-Coach
McAvoy varied the work of the Della
ware College football squad yesterday
afternoon. The few times the men
have been out the work has consisted
largely of bunting and running the
ball back but yesterday afternoon af-
ter a short practice of this kind he
divided the candidates into four
squads and put them through some
signal work. The extremely hot
weather is hard on some of the candi-
dates who have not done much work
during the summer months. On &C.
count of the short time that he has
to work with the candidates before
the first game Coach McAvoy will
have them out as usual this afternoon.
The indications are that the first
scrimmage will be held next Thurs

TIGERS FAIL TO
DISbODCE RED SOX
Boston Now Looks Good to
Win the American
League Flag
BILL JAMES LOSES
THE LAST GAME
BY GEORGE L. HOLMES,
United Press STAFF Correspondent.

BOSTON, Sept. 1S.-The utmost
Hughey Jennings Tigers can do is to
leave Boston in second place. Even
by taking the next two games the
Jungaleers will be a fraction of a
game behind the leaders and from
then on until the curtain rings down
everything favors the Red Sox.
The arrangement of the schedule is
heavily in Boston's favor. The Tigers
when they leave Boston must tackle
the Athletics and the Nationals to
wind up their schedule The Red Sox
have sixteen games to play-siX of
which are with Cleveland. three with
the Browns and five with the Yanks,
all weak teams So even should the
Bengals win all their remaining
games the dope" would still favor
Boss Carrigans red legged aggrega-
tion.
Boston, however. wants these next
two games. and wants them badly.
Forty-five thousand fans have crowd
ed into Fenway Park for the last two
games, and a Saturday crowd of 3d.
600 is expected today. The Royal
Rooters," who we're billed to make
their bow yesterday. but failed will
be out in force today. and march to
the park to the strains of Boston s
famous war song, "Tessie." A block
of 300 seats has been reserved for
them.
Bill James. for whom Detroit is re-
puted to have paid $4,000, made a
present of yesterdays game to the
Hub He threw the ball everywhere
but at the plate and the Red Sox
walked around the bases. Opposing
him was Dutch" Leonard, who allow
ed one scratch hit until one man was
out in the ninth. Leonard is going
to be a bad actor in the big series
If he retains the form he showed yes
terday.
Jean Dubuc or Harry Coveleskie
probably will take over the pitching
burden for the Tigers today. Ruth or
Shore we're Boston's probabilities. r
