THE HOMESPUN BRENN
The following old verse? were sung
during tim Wur of Secession, and
and just at tills time when Southern
women ure so patriotically planning
lo buy no more silks und satins and
to weur cotton goods alone, tim sen
timent of the old wur song in upro
pus:
Oh, yes, I am a Southern gi rfc and
glory in the name,
And back lt with fur greater pride
than gllterlng wealth and fame.
I envy not tho Northern girls, their
robi-s of beauty rare,
Tho' diamonds grace their snowy
necks and pearls bedeck their
hair.
Chorus
Hurrah! Hurrah! for the Sunny South
so dear,
Three 'dicers for tho homespun dress
that Southern women weur.
The homespun dress is plain, I know,
our hats palmetto too,
Hut then it shows what Southern girls
For Southern rights will do.
W'Vve sent the bravent of our land to
battle with the foe;
Out we will lend a helping hand, be
cause we love the South you
know.
Now Northern goods are out of date,
and since old Abe's blockade,
The Southern girls can be content -.vlth
dresses Southern made.
We scorn to wear a bit of silk, a bit of
Northern lace,
But make our homespun dresses up
and wear them with a good grace.
The Sputhern land's a glorious land,
and has a glorious'cause;
Then cheer, three cheers for Southern
lights and for our Southern boys. |
The soldier is the lad for us-a brave
heart we adore,
We'll give our hearts and hands to
them and love them more and
, moro.
And now young men, who are lovers
true, if you would win the fair,
?o to the field where honor calls and
win your lady there;
Remember that cur brightest smiles
are for the true and brave.
And that our tears are all for those
who fill a soldier's grave.
POTENTIALITIES
Russia, in her dark autocracy, ls
little understood by tho rest of the
world. Her form of government- 1B
so arrogant and so despotic as to
cause the people of this republic to
consider lt with aversion. All that
Russia needs ls a constitutional mon
archy or some form ot popular govern
ment with an infusion of protestant
ism, and the vast despotism of the
Bsar will become the land of the free
sud the happy. '
Potentially, Russia ia tha n?gb^??
anton ot the future. We repeat-'
potentially.' If Russia had the plan
sf governnient and the patriotism of
Jtt?? Switzerland, it would Indeed be
i mighty nation, we might say a sub
lime world power.
Its brute strength today ls difficult
0 compute, almost impossible to com
prehend. Ages ot exploitation ' will
lot succeed In exhausting Russia's .
possibilities bf commercial expan
den.
RusBla has 900,000,000 acres ot tlm
>er land and under the plow in Rus
t?a are 250,000,00 acres, while twice
hat amount ls being cultivated in the
Jnlted States and this country has
inly 88,000,000 acres of forest. It ls
laid that Russia can expand twice her
uneunt of cultivated land and yet
.ave virgin soil fer generations.
The population of Russia is 165,000.
100, increasing at they rate of 3,000.000
1 year, This population, enormous as
t le, does seem BO "teeming" tn a '
lountry of . 8.660,000 square miles, an
tr ea two and a half times'as large
ia the United States with her 900,000.
?00. .
In addition to her timber and her !
intouched agrioultural possibilities,
lussta abounds'.in minorais, oils and !
Pels in illimitable profusion. Should
tome chance of fate cause Russia to
bse her autocracy, should the dark 1
reit of mystery and despotism ever
>e withdrawn, that country will be- ,
:ome wonderful.
The South for 50 years has buffered
rom tho unjust suspicions of the jj
world. This country, rich In resour
ies, pregnant with opportunity, hhs
>een allowed to drag along and work 1
?ut her own destiny because of the 1
reil ot distrust drawn around her. 1
rim world looked, upon a land ot 1
ynchtngs and not a peaceful .coup-; 1
ry. Thanks to bur local and state '
?omtnerclal secretarlos, our powerful 1
ind reliable newspaper and our rall
oad industrial departments; tho out- '
dde world baa learned that the South 1
s not lawless, but la law loving and -
aw abiding, and but for the iemp
>rary backset given by the war, the i
louth would have advanced as much <
n the one year dating from this Sep
ember as ino had done lu ten pieced- ]
ngc years/ The South has begun to i
srork out her own destiny. Russia
nay never d? so, for there is no out
ilde force tb aid Russia is Impotent
ipparentiy, to do something in and of
ind for herself.
Though these be times that load the 1
lean with care and steep the mind )
n worry, yet ft ts such times as
hose that Individuals must suffer 3
that Institutions may live. The South
has just begun on her upward climb.
The men who can are the men who
must. Our institutions should not
lunKuish. must not suffer. Our
schoolB. our colleges, our commercial
hollies, our V. M. C. A's-all other
agencies for promotion, for upbuild
ing, for culture, must be. made better,
(stronger, liver, und the result will be
that after this pre.sent period of de
pression pusses, there will not be a
moment's delay In achieving. Keep
our standing army ot workers under
units, reudy for the cull.
Potentialities are great, but sacri
fice und effort und achievement are
the'things thut make the world bigger
and better.
KKK!' THE PRICES IIP
, The movement to I'Buy-a-Baie" has
had its psychological effect. Like the
gallant lille Belgian army, it has
stemmed the tide of descending prices
j until reinforcements could arrive. We
do not wish to add any discourage
ment to the movement, but it must be
backed up by something permanent
However, let the "Buy-a-Bale"
movement be continued and let it be
UH cd as a help to the poor and the de
serving. Wc understand that 38 bales
were bought here Monday under this
plan and it ls reported that others are
ready to buy, or to receive cotton at
10 cents per pounu in exchange for
credit at stores. Several bales were
sold here yesterday at the prevailing
price.
It was reported here yesterday that
a shipload of cotton had cleared from
Charleston for Liverpool. That was
a very cheering piece of news, for
the blockade of "The King's Highway"
is one of tho main cases of all the cot
ton troubles.
"V e would like to Bee the "Buy-a
B'jle" movement kept up Indefinitely,
tut at the same time the "allies"
must got their forces into condition to
support the Belgians. The great en
emy of all armies in Europe ls Starva
tion, and the great enemy of markets
in tli 1B country ls Surplus. Unicas
some plan is worked out at once to
take care of that great enemy, the sit
uation is relieved but temporarily by
the "Buy-s-Bale" movoment. There
must be numerous plans put Into ef
fect and all working together. .
Another great factor in boosting
prices ta that so many houses In the
United States that have used bur
laps fdr shipping, are now turning to
cotton. ..This will promote the sale
ut millions .o? pounds or cotton at 10
cents. . 1
THE OPTIMISTIC SIDE
. I The lato Feaster V. Tribble was an
optimist and his doctrine of optimism
was "push." Mr. Tribble on the day
of his death wrote an article to put
heart into the people of Anderson
county. We have hesitated to pub
lish this letter but have been assured
that there is no impropriety and thai
it may do good. Mr. Tribble wrote:
"When we hear of 6 and 8 cents
cotton, whose ears are lifted? The
farmers' For many years the English
and German manufacturers have been
using 5 to 8 million bales of our cot
ton and so this year it seems that the
war will put 6 to 8 mill?n bales ot cot
ton in the country that cannot be sold. J
"But remember. For several years!
this 12 and 15 cents cotton was used
here in our mills and they bought lt,
without one word of "this la too high,"
Now when the farmers can help their
own people they should not say "it ts
too .low." . ~~
"The war will not fifo on forever, but
lt may last until every able bodied
Berman is killed, so do not, Mr. Farm
er, plant more than*'a entail per cent
pf yoiw^crop in> cotton next year. \ jj
"I know a farmer who baa not
planted cotton for several years. To
day he has his barn filled with hay and
oats, his larder filled with meat, and
lard, his granary filled with wheat and
bis only trouble-will be his modesty,
hui fear that "I am charging too *n .'cb
for this or that."
"We will get through thu year fair
ly well, but look out for next, If you
io not cut down the acreage of your
cotton crop. AU ot our American
made goods wir /ha lower on account
D( over production, but when the war
comes to a dose, then the people in
Imgland and Germany will want
clothes. Borne th lng to eat, etc Then
?111 tho South get'her price for her
pYoducts. 1 All ??w get' on' the onti
mlstic aide of the situation."
