side in the cities. While many bust
ness men in the large centers are UNI
usually keen and resourceful they, by
reason of this pressure, are apt to
take a superficial view of current
events and to miss the deeper sig
niticance of trends that are, more or
less, vitally changing the meaning of
economic, industrial and business con-
ditions. Hence, we often see the lead
ers in large centars, especially the
sistently loyal to orthodox standards
long after changes in basic conditions
have madel those standards essential
ly unsafe as guides. Perhaps in no
business has this been SO conspicu-
ously true as it has been in the cotton
business.
A New Era at Hand.
On the whole these things sharply
indicate that new dispensation is at
hand in the economic and industrial
life of the South. 1t means, in the
last analysis, that the world hence
forth must conform to the South's in
depreciation of that life as it relates
to all of her activities and particu-
larly as it concerns the value of all
her products whether Of forest, fac
tory or field. AS to cotton, it means
that it will be safer henceforth for
the speculative and consuming world
to assume in all their calculations
that the price of cotton in the future
will be largely determined by the
Southern view as to what is fair
profit on the cost Of it's production
Since producing cotton at an attrac-
tive profit is the only basis on which
any hope for an adequate supply can
be justified, which events show is a
matter of ever increasing concern to
! the world, it can be assumed that this
control of the South will be wholly
constructive not only for the spinning
industry and the cotton trade. But

since they are Illuminating and will
no doubt be more convincing than
any argument that can bropably be
made in that behalf.
Southern Bank Deposits.
Take for instance, the records COW
erlng the deposits in Southern bani:s.
These deposits as compared with de-
cade ago show really wonderful
gain in the surplus wealth of the
South during this period. The in
crease however which has the most
significant bearing on the matter un-
der review has been in the deposits
owned by the agricultural classes.
This increase, it is fairly safe to say,
will average around 400 per cent as
compared with ten years ago. In fact,
the writer has found the increase
much above this in many instances
wherever he has had occasion to in
vestigate the matter. Th: s fully
confirmed by the official r.: '"os COW
erlng the wealth re -yNeu from
Southern farms during reccnt years,
of which cotton Contributed only
about onc-ifth count mo live stock as
part of the products of the farm. It
should be pointo1 OFT in this conncc-
ton that these deposits owned by the
farmers 'i"cr from commercial de-
posts IN that they reflect generally
the surplus earnings Of the deposi-
,?:s which commercial deposits DO rot
always do.
Now let us take the records cover
ing the marketing OF the cotton crops
during recent years; it is true the cot
ton producers were Gem0raliZed by
the war, but so were every other
class Of business men. They certain
~ recovered their equipoise just as
coon as any oth~r members Of tn .
business community. With this one
exception the records show that the
cotton growers have not been APP
prcciably disturbed by any events
during tn" last six years however SEN
sational they may have been. Take
for instance the way they carried the
surplus left over from the great crop
grown in 1914. On the first Of Janu-
ary, 1918, the greater part Of this
crop was on hand. Capital had taken
fright-the banks, with rare excep-
tions, refused to help. 1t was a great
burden but the producers without
financial. aid of consequences actually
carried the greater part Of it until
the price was forced well above 10
cents which was then considered the
cost of production.

This record was conspicuously sus-
tanned throughout every event during
the war however trying it may have
been: Notably during the famous
break IN future contracts of Febru-
ary l, 1917, in the spring of 1918 and
through the dramatic decline from 35
TO IL cents of this year. 1t should be
emphasized, for it is significant part
of the history of these events, that
during the sensational decline of this
year, as well as during other years,
the only weakness of consequence
that developed in the spot market
was in cotton that had passed out of
the hands of the producers. These
records clearly justify the statement
that, had not the producers been able
TO carry large lots of cotton for very
extended periods throughout the war,
tE outh would have been overtaken

AVE crippled its future for many
years and probably for generations.

significance of its trend was much

the speculative and spinning interest
Of I'll" country. This ras brought out
conspicuously by the sensational
events incident to the war. Many of
these events greatly disturbed the

PRESIDENT REFUSES
SENATE TREATIES.
Says Transmission of 4 PaCtS
Would Tend to EnCroach
on Executive Powers.

The request Of the Foreign Rela-
tions Committee for latest drafts Of
the proposed treaties with Germany's 8
allies, Austria, Hungary, Turkey, and
Bulgaria, has been refused by Presi-
dent Wilson on the ground that COM
pliance would set q precedent en-
couraging Senatorial encrOachment
on the Presidential power of treaty
negotiations.
In an exchange Of letters made
public today Mr.. Wilson wrote that
it was "out of the question" to ac-.
cede to the committees suggestion,
and Chairman Lodge OF Massachu-
sets replied that although the
treaties were closely connected with
the treaty with Germany the Presi-
dent undoubtedly had authority to
keep information about them from
the Senate IL he chose.
The President wrote to Senator
Lodge as follows:
"AIlow me to acknowledge the
receipt Of your letter Of August
% and to say that I shall take
pleasure in laying before the Sem
ate the treaty with Poland, signed
at Versailles on the 2Sth Of June,
and the agreement between the
United States, Belgium and Brit
ish empire and France Of the one
part and Germany Of the other
part, with regard to the military
occupation of the territories Of
the Rhine, also signed at YER
saiIles on the 2sth Of June.
The declaration OF the 10th Of
June to which you refer was a
mere declaration Of policy and
does not become in any way per-
tinent until the treaty IL ratified.
Ny impression is that a certain
degree of embarrassment would
be caused, not to the United
States, but to the countries with
which we must necessarily CO
operate in many particulars in
the execution Of the treaty, IL il
were communicated now. It will,
of course, be made public In due
time.

PARIS. Sept. 2.-The supreme eoun-

Bulgarian delegation the text Of q

boundaries of the country. The doc
ument will provide for a port on the
Aegean sea, but will not name the
port.
The Bulgarian delegation will be
asked to renounce claims to certain
territory which will be stipulated in
the peace treaty. The distribution Of
this territory will be made later. The
situation with regard to the disposi-
ton Of Thraee, on which the allied
delegates still are divided, will not
be q cause for delay IN the conclu
sion OF peace with Bulgaria.

According to q noted French Sci

Of organic phosphate known among

1t is described as q substance which
is similar in composition to the phos-

There are many reports Of astonish-
ing results from its use, some show

weakness. AS there are many kinds
Of phosphates, care should be eXeT-
cised to procure the genuine Bitro-

May God cripple hands and feet
OF Poles and make them

May no sound Of rejoicing flood

Senator Lodge replied:
II am indebted to you for your
letter Of August %, which reach
ed me last evening. I also have
to thank you for sending to the
Senate the treaty with Poland,
signed at Versailles on June %,
and the agreement between the
United States. Belgium and the

better that It should be officially

Decision II Final.
SAs to the request Of the COM
mittee for drafts or information
regarding the treaties with Aus
tria, Hungary, Bulgaria. and Tur-
key, the committee, Of course,
were aware that negotiations are
wholly in the hands Of the execu-
tive and there was no thought OF
trespassing upon your Jurisdiction.
You noticed, OF course, that the
request asked merely for such in
formation as you could give them
IL it was not incompatible with
the public interest. The four
treaties still to be made are so
closely connected with the Ger
man treaty that many Senators
have thought that all the peace
treaties should be considered to-
gsther, and the request was made
merely for such information as
you felt could be properly given
in regard to those treaties not
yet submitted, IN the hope that il
might hasten action upon the
treaty Of peace with Germany.
II It Is not compatible with the
public interest to give any infor-
nation in regard to them, that is
a matter upon which, OF course,
