Any erroneous reflection on the character stand-

News-Democrat will be gladly corrected upon its
being brought to the attention of the editors
interest on the money let out on
cotton We do not believe that
this situation prevails to any
great extent and we think that
it will be found as a rule that
the bankers will earnestly assist
in brinking about universal pros-
perity in the South However
the buy-a-bale movement if sue
cessfully carried out will make
it impossible for unholy greed to
control the situation and prevent
prosperity from spreading over
the country The national gov-
ernment has done all within its
power to extend aid and the
matter is now left entirely fn the
hands of each community It is
up to us to work out our own sal-
vation and it behooves us to get
busy We need a commercial
club to take the leadership and
we must take action if we are to
protect the farmer and add to
our individual and collective
prosperity In the absence of a
commercial club a leader a gen-
eral is needed Who is the pa-
triot to lead us from this wilder
ness?
BUY-A-BALE MOVEMENT
A few days ago Georgia began
a buy-a-bale-of-cotton movement
and it has spread to many other
Southern states and especially
is it gaining momentum in Tex-
as The plan is simple: Every
one who is able buys a bale of
cotton at 10 cents middling and
takes a warehouse receipt agree-
ing to hold the cotton one year
If the movement becomes gener-
al as it should it means that
the price of cotton will not fall
below the price of 10 cents for
if every man who is able will buy
a bale it means that the surplus
above domestic consumption will
be held by the patriotic citizens
of the South As we see it the
purchaser doesn’t stand to lose
anything and on the other hand
is almost sure of a handsome
profit for there is every reason
to believe that cotton will go to
15 cents before the twelve
months have passed More than
that William H McAdoo secre-
tary of the United States treasu-
ry has announced that these
warehouse receipts will have a
commercial value of 75 per cent
of the cotton market value This
will prevent the buyer from
jeopardizing his business even
though he invests all his surplus
cash in cotton There is the
foundation and it looks strong
and good Aye it is strong and
good for it rests securely on the
rock of Reason and Justice of
Patriotism and Profit but-can
we rear the structure? That’s
the question and the only one
For if our patriotism will take
care of the surplus it means a
good price for the balance of the
cotton and likewise means a good
dividend on our investment We
believe the buy-a-bale movement
in connection with the warehouse
is the solution of the problem
that confronts the South today
and it should be heralded from
every pulpit emblazoned on ev-
ery editorial page and be the aim
of every commercial organiza-
tion for no greater work touch- Bolivia mines more than
ing the welfare of the whole peo-! f°urth the tin in the world
’ ' ' iThe ore is shipped to Europe
I where it is smeltered and then
A man was once employed to
clean out a well Drawing up a
bucket of water he looked into
the well and seeing no apparent
change he concluded that it
couldn’t be done and quit An-
other man took the job He put
up a pulley tied a bucket to each
end of the rope and went to
work with an object in view
The object was to clean out that
well— and it got what was com-
ing to it Slip-shod measures
never availed anything — and
never will It took Cyrus West
Field to lay the first cable across
the Atlantic— other people said
it couldn’t be done— and it was
only accomplished after repeat-
ed failures Some merchants
will put an ad in theNew-Demo-crat
for one issue and then wait
for a miracle to happen Such
measures would never have
cleaned out the well nor laid the
Atlantic cable It’s the sticking
to a purpose that brings success
You can’t live forever on the
work you did yesterday Per-
haps your business didn’t pay-
expenses yesterday Are you
going to close your doors and
say the mercantile business does
not pay? No Instead you will
know that there is something
wrong and you will bend your
energies toward discovering the
mistake and lose no time in rec-
tifying the error Just so you
should do with your advertising
If persistent advertising hasn't
brought you requisite returns
there fe something wrong and
you should find out the cause
Remember that one dip in the
tub will not suffice for a life-
time’s cleanliness

“An Ideal
Fattening
Food”
When it comes to the selection
of speaker of the house of rep-
resentatives of the next legisla-
ture the membership could not do
better than to name A McCrory
editor of the Ringling News
who served Jefferson county in
the fourth legislature and who
has been renominated without
opposition He is clean and ca-
pable a good presiding officer and
does not entertain an ambition
to be a political boss or to run I
for congress or a state office
McCrory would treat every
member of the house fair and
with him in the chair it would be I
a deliberative body instead of a
boss-ridden machine The same
might be said of a number of
other gentlemen whose names
have been mentioned for the
speakership but Mr McCrory
proved himself in the fourth
legislature -J Roy Williams in
McAlester News-Capital
Down at Atlanta Ga af
unique scheme has been advanc-
ed for the purchase of cotton
Citizens of the town realizing!
the importance of the situation I
started a “buy-a-bale-of-cotton’
movement and before the close!
of the first day over 300 bales
lad been contracted for The I
3lan is to induce every individ-
ual in the south to buy at least I
one bale of cotton at 10c per
pound direct from the farmers
and place it in a warehouse for
one year A systematic move
will be made to get the people of
the entire south interested thus
assisting in relieving the present
stringent cotton situation
is how the Oklahoma
State Board of Agri-
culture recommends
corn chops as food
From every section comes the!
I pleasing intelligence that the
farmers are preparing to plant a
j record-breaking crop of wheat
‘ this fall and from present indi-
cations the acreage cannot be too
large for the demand If the
war continues much longer we
i may expect an enormous price
j for the necessaries of life and it
behooves the farmers to prepare
!to meet the demand
Be sure to get
ground at the
your corn
one-
pie of the South can be imagin-
ed It is a time for unity of ac-
tion and-singleness of purpose
a time when selfishness should
be frowned down and all labor
in concert for the common weal
It is a time when there is a prem-
ELEVATOR
and thu3 get the full bene-
fit of your corn
Lest You Forget
We are prepared to do first
class repair work on anything in
the jewelry line especially high
grade watch work
brought across to America This
country uses annually about
$50000000 worth of tin bars and
blocks' and the entire output of
Bolivia should come direct here
iurn on patriotism and a halo for i anc us save the immense profit
the workers It is a time when j annuaUy ?oes to England
speculators can safely invest in oes seem strange that this
a get-rich-quick proposition and C0UI?trJ’ Permit this state of

There is always hope for a

more than we are able to de
termine
explained to the people and their ! seems that the war n Eu
enthusiasm invoked It’s going
to take work and lot3 of it and
the work must be systemized so
that accomplishment is swift and
sure Today— now— is the time
for action and every community
must get busy Drones and self-
centered persons are not wanted
In some sections the bankers
seem disposed to take advantage
of the situation in an effort to
reap large returrs instead of be-
ing satisfied with a legitimate
rope will force the Americas to
do the very thing that their own
interests should havy long since
brought about: An exchange of
exports Our great opportunity
has arrived the president and
congress are lending all the
national aid permissible and
self interest should stimulate the
business interests of thi3 coun-
try into action As we see it a
great commercial era is dawning
for this country and she is false
to her destiny if she doesn’t be-
come foremost in the markets
