Cowed the Bad Man.

General Franks, a. leader Of many p
dashing charge in India, held unique
position among his soldiers. They
loved him for his courage, but were
sometimes irritated by his strictness.
Yet in spite Of this eXacting severity,
he was Unexpectedly lenient when
large occasion demanded it.
One day when the regiment was
firing blank" a bullet whistled by
him. He did not stop the firing, but
when the number Of rounds ordered
had been completed he rode up to the
line and said:
Boys, there's a bad shot in the
Tenth. He nearly shot my trumpet
err and what should have said to the
boys mother? | don't want to know
the blackguard's name. The officers
will not examine the mans pouches
This was on the eve Of a campaign,
and before action the senior major
came to him and said Don't put
yourself in front Of the regiment to-
morrow, sir. You know there are al
ways one or two bad men in a regi-
ment."
Thank you, major" was the reply.
It's very kind Of you. | might have
given you a step"
When the Tenth was drawn up for
the final advance he put himself at its
head and called
Boys, I'm tolud ye name to shoot
me today. Take my advice and don't
shoot Tom Franks until the fightin's
done, for ye won't find better man
to lade ye.''
The regiment answered with a cheer
and carried the Sikh batteries with the
bayOnet rather than run the risk Of
shooting the beloved old fire eater at
their head.-WashingtOn Star.

nation of the world in respect of Its
finance. We must make up our
minds what are the best things to
do and what are the best ways to do
them. We must put our money, our
energy, our enthusiasm, our sympa-
thy into these things and we must
have our judgments prepared and
our spirits chastened against the
coming of that day.
$50 that I am not speaking in a
selfish spirit when I say that our
whole duty for the present, at any
rate, is summed up in this motto:
America First Let us think OF
America before we think Of Europe
in order that America may be fit to
be Europe's friend when the day OF
tested friendship comes. The test OF
friendship is not now sympathy with
the one side or the other but getting
ready to help both sides when the
struggle is over.
"The basis of neutrality, gentle
men, Is not Indifference; it Is not self
interest. The basis Of neutrality Is
sympathy for mankind. 1t Is fair
ness: it is good will at home. 1t is
impartiality of spirit and Of judg-
ment I wish that all Of our fellow
citizens could realize that.
There Is in some quarter dis
position to create distemper in this
body polite. Men are even uttering
slanders against the United States

No Cotton for Germany.-That cot
ton is kept from Germany and Aus
tria just as effectively as if it were
declared absolute contraband, is the
tenor Of a reply addressed by Attor-
ney General Simon Of Great Britain,
to a conference Of chemists and en-
gineers who, on last Saturday, asked
whether the governments action was
sufficient to make it certain that no
cotton reached those countries. The
attorney general says:
THE attorney general ventures to
suggest that those for whom you
write may be under some misappre-
hension either as to the law of con-
traband or as to the steps which in
fact are being taken under the order
i'm council of March l.. The steps
being taken under authority of that
order i'm council have been extremely
effective in stopping cotton from
reaching Germany and the declara
ton Of cotton as contraband would not
alter the result in the very least 81
far as preventing cotton reaching
Germany is concerned.
IF an article is declared absolute
rontraband, it can be stopped from
going to a German port and can be
stopped even from going to an ad-
joining neutral port, if it is in course
Of transit through that neutral port
to an enemy country. These are
exactly the circumstances in which,
under the order i'm council. any ar
ticle can be stopped, whether 1t is
contraband or not, and of course, this
order in council is being put into
force in all proper cases.
ITO imagine that since March IL,
anything can he gained so far as
stopping the entrance of cotton into
Germany is concerned by calling II
contraband is, in effect. to suppose
that Il blockade is rendered more ef-
fective if you add that specified con-
traband articles will not he allowed
to break that blockade. A blockade
stops all articles whether they are
contraband or not, and therefore any
additional rulings would not have any
practical consequences. What is true
of Germany, of course, is equally true
of Austria
Your rnemnrialistS no doubt will
readily believe that there may be good
reasons of quite a different kind for
not making cotton cOntraband in view
of the precedent which would thereby
he created, but as n practical matter
in the present war, any Stoppage OF
cotton secured by calling it contra
band is equally secured by the order
in council"

THE WAREHOUSE SYSTEM
Alabama is Seeking Information from
Mr.. McLaurin.

II can assure you that I have been
agreeably surprised at how well the
system has worked" said John L.
McLaurin, state warehouse commits
sioner, in a letter to c. E. Thomas,
Prattville, Ala, chairman Of the ag-
ricultural committee Of the Ala
bama Bankers association, who ask
ed Mr.. McLaurin for a copy Of the
South Carolina warehouse act, prior
to a drafting Of a bill to be presented
to the Alabama general assembly pro-
viding for warehouse system for
that state. In his letter, Mr.. Nc
Laurin adopts an enthusiastic tone in
describing the advantages Of the sys-
tenn.
The letter of the commissioner to
Mr.. Thomas follows:
April 20, 1915.
Mr.. C. E. Thomas, Prattville, Ala.
Dear Sir: Your letter received.
herewith enclose a copy Of the South
Carolina warehouse act, with a state
ment which I recently issued on the
matter Of financing the receipts, and
also my first report to the general
assembly Of South Carolina.
In reply to your question as to
whether the workings have been
satisfactory, 1 can assure you that I
have been agreeably surprised at
how well the system has worked. I
was appalled, at the task when the
legislature placed the burden upon
me, but apparently insurmountable
obstacles, when properly approached,
were removed, and the system is
steadily increasing in the confidence Of
the public. and, what Is more i'm
portant, support Of the present man
agement has been intensified under
the results achieved. The saving in
insurance alone will amount to a
large sum. I had big fight and had
to go to New York. Your state
would be spared this and you would
have the benefit Of our experience.
There are many changes that I
would suggest in the bill. I have been
in politics, and have had many bitter
fights; so that my friends backed the
system because 1t was I and my enc
mics fought it because 1t was I, pro-
posing it, and afterwards, because I
had been placed in charge Of it.
However, the bill as We have 1t in
South Carolina has proved a sue
cess.
l will gladly assist you in drafting
a better bill than we have here. For
the country bank 1t is splendid
thing especially for a state bank II
your law is similar to ours.
Mr.. w. G. p. Harding, Of the Fed
eral reserve board, has been Of ines
timable service to us and understands
the situation all along the line. II
you will write to him, am sure he
can be Of value to you.
Sincerely,
John L. McLaurin,
State Warehouse Commissioner

The girls had been arrested for dis
obeying the injunction of the court,

Myers. A big, burly policeman was

held her arm, giving her a shake and
adding an oath to his peremptory
command.

At Townley's unflattering picture
of his leading trustee Allan Rutledge
looked somewhat blankly at the
merciless diagnostician. His companion
noticed the expression and continued'

Allan Rutledge quietly. ''These men

AS they walked down the main

soon it was evident that something
