IT'S GOOD TIMES
November Sixteenth Is
Biggest Day Yet.
J-'n'irbrnthorV Evor.v thing
The slogan "Wear Cotton"
will change to "Sell Cotton"
after the l(ith of this month.
On that date the Liverpool and
New York cotton exchanges will
again open after being closed for
many weeks. The plans have all
been worked out and simultane
ously the Federal reserve banks
an j the cotton exchanges will be
in motion. The fact that the
tanks will have oceans o: gold to
1 urn loose on good securties, Ic
c:-.l banks will not bo frightened,
a-.-.i with the cotton exchanges
1-• .ing '.:s what cotton is worth
the planter will know better than
he has known for some months
' •."here he is at."

With the embargo lifted on cot
ton: with foreign countries sav
ing tney want great »iuanities of
it: with American mills receiving
orders for all kinds of cotton
j.'X-ds for the foreign armies, it
looks like an era of prosperity, un
precedented. was coming to Am
erica. If we keen out of the war,
and we have great faith in our
Fresident alone this line, the
I'nited States of America will be
came the most prosperous country
in the world. Calamity will go
y,o far to the woods that you can't
hear it howl for ten years.
The cotton speculator will ag
ain come to the front: the con
sumer is already waiting, and
while cotton will never be fifteen
cents when so much is in sight
it is not unreasonable to believe
it will see close to ten cents.
Nine cents will perhaps be the
rrice. but the man who planted
tx> much can't complain if he
nine cents for his over pro
duction. The cotton panic may
h iva b. s en worth while. It may
have taught a long needed lesson
1"; the southern farmer. He
tr.ust raise something besides
( tton. Finally this will be drill
ed into him, and when it is he
will be as independent as a hog
on ice however much that may
rr.ean independence. We have
heard that the hog could either,
walk, skate or lie down. And
that is the way the farmer should :
be. If he will raise his own hay,'
corn and oats for his stock: his!
own meats and other provisions, |
ard then put in enough cotton to!
give him his ready cash, he could
be always prosperous.
And this lesson that he has
learned this year, may help some
in that direction. November ltith
will be an important day in the
history of the United States—in
the history of the South. The j
new currency law which we have \
ro long needed goes into effect |
DON'T FORGET.
Beginning December 1, 1914, the cash-in-advance
plan will be adopted by the DANBURY REPORTER,
and all unpaid subscriptions will be dropped from
the list.
This is the policy adopted by a majority of the
progressive newspapers of the United States. Our
friends will oblige us by helping us carry out the
policy. It is best for the paper and best for the
subscriber. The expense and labor of collecting
small amounts is the reason we take this procedure.
Many of our subscribers who have for many years
made it a habit to pay up once a year, will confer a
favor by not forgetting that this rule will apply to
all, and no exceptions will be made in the case of
any person.

GREAT IMPROVEMENT
Business Conditions Are Now
Good--The Opinion Of
Traveling Men.
Greensboro News.
Judging from all the informa
tion that can be gathered from
the many traveling men who
make Greensboro headquarters,
business conditions ire slowly
but surely getting back to normal,
at least that is the case in the
section of the country traveled
by the many commercial sales
men who represent practically
every line that is sold. The con
ditions as found last week by
these men were nearly on a par
with the tirst week in November.
IJU3. and nearly as manv different
reasons are given for the improve
meni as there are men traveling
out of this city. Since election
day when the Republicans made
bin gains throughout the country
business has been on the increase
in all lines and one or two sales
men have been questioned who
did not hesitate to answer that in
their opinion the increased streng
th of the G. 0. P., which to many
people represents the adoption in
part of the Republicans' pet
plank, the high protective tariff,
has had much to do with restor
ing business conditions, not only
in this section but throughout the
country as well, to almost a nor
mal state.
Others state that from what
they gather the reopening of the
Liverpool cotton exchange has
had much to do with bettering
of conditions. These men state
that even if cotton is selling at a
very low figure, the simple fact
that there is a market dealing in
and with the staple product of
the south is sufficient to restore
confidence to every man who is
not too easily and badly afflicted
with the war and hard times
scare. The people who are affect
ed by the cotton market are
cheerinp up considerably on ac
count of the opening of the Liver
pool exchange and as if to fur
ther emphasize their belief in
the statement that business will
soon get back to a normal 9tate,
attention is called to the fact that
the New York cotton exchange
may open at any time, 9uch a
movement having been talked of
in cotton circles for the past
many weeks.
The men whose business it is
to sell automobiles have no kick
in the world o >er the amount of
that day. and with it the cotton
exchanges of the world open for
business. And on that day busi
ness will receive an impetus, and
the scare will be over. Sit steady
in the boat just a few more days
and all will be well.

Gorrell's and Farmers
Looks Better Every Day.
We have been working hard for our many customers this week during the heavy breaks, and
have pushed every pile offered to the buyers' top-notch price at GorrelPs and Farmers' Warehouses.
As a result we have been sending home more satisfied customers than ever.
The condition of the market looks better every day. Prices are better and the buyers are
anxious to get all they can.
The market will have big breaks again next week. You* will want to be on first sale and
Farmers' Warehouse will sell first on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday of next week and Gor
rell's first on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
We are looking for you, and will be prepared to serve you and do the most for you.
Ship us your tobacco if you cannot bring it, and we will give every pile our personal attention and sell it just as soon
as it arrives. Your friends,
The Gorrell Boys.
First Sale Days: Gorrell's—Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays.
Farmers'--Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays.
business they are doing. The
only trouble experienced bv local
dealers in the supposed luxury is
in getting the cars from the
manufacturers and the fact that
the people of this country ar»
willing to put their money in
automobiles, which are a luxury
to most people and not a
necessity, does much to prove
that the people feel sure that the
financial situation will be well
handled and that no panic or un
due tightness in the money mar
ket will arise.
It Really Does Relives Rheumatism.
Everybody who is afflicted with
Rheumatism in any form should
by all means keep a bottle of
Sloan's Liniment on hand. The
minute you feel pain or soreness
in a joint or muscle, bathe it
with Sloan's Liniment. Do rub
it. Sloan's penetrates almost
immediately right to seat of pain,
relieving the hot, tender, swoolen
feeling and making the part easy
and comfortable. Get a bottle
of Sloan's Liniment for 25 cents
of any druggist and have it in
the house against colds, sore
and swollen joints, rheumatism,
neuralgia, sciatica and like ail
ments. Your money back if not
satisfied, but it does yive almost
instant relief.

winter suit. E. P. Newsom,
