Of course Wdjjjean see a long ways these The Progressive Farmer thinks that the disastrous effects of the war upon the cotton mil 1 industries in England has been over estimated and in that country the mills will be kept running. ' Thtt PanHAmerican Life la . .hi.. Amnnn.i I 1 1 . nr. . . 1 vwrve, agroea to accept cotton in payment for premiums due on all polices whether new or re ' newals. This will help tome end if the cotton is vahwd at t6 'cents it will help much. ' The idea that the cotton mil 1 jam want to keep the price of . cotton low appears not wel 1 founded in fact. The mill me to-day have yarn spun from fourteen cent cotton which they have not been able to market even at a loss. It is not all philanthrophy that in making mill men work to-gether with the farmers for ten cent cotton. On the day after the Advance editorial "A Plea for the Far met ' , which appeared in the is eue of September 11th; was writ 1 tenrthe Ifewte aud Observor came (rat in a short and inconspidous editorial advocating the B?ja- Bale movement. From that be ginning however, the Observer , has daily grown more enthusias tic 'and by last Saturday was m'Hnnr fKtrvrfll OnrnHniflnfl n it a litont Daee to buy a bale of cot it-..:-" T. jtpn at ten cents a pound!. ,ifore ; OTer, it snnouaced that the Ob- 1 turret was practicing what it . preached, having already pur "chased five bales at that price. , Came news Sunday that in ilhe town of Statesville north--pest of Charlotte, with a popu - Jation not Wre than half Elie abeth City's and where cotton is bardly so , generally grown as here, fifty six bales have al ready .been purchased at ten . rents a pound. , J ' Bald a, man on the street laat of anypuwliase of cotton at ten cents in Elizabeth City un less the market t reaches that point." ' - - Is he a true prophet?? , THE OUTLOOK BBI0HTEX8 The action taken by the di rectors of the Savings Bank and Trust Company last Thursday nitoi iiiug and of the First Na tional Bank last Thursday after noon in declaring that they were reaI(y to ftand by the fanner in his effort to hold a consider able part of this year's cotton crop off the market has put solid ground uuder the feet of the man who tills the soil. There is. little doubt that the other banks of the city and sec tion will be the more anxious to Ktiow themselves friends, to the farmers because of the actiou of these two progressive bank ing institutions; and with the cotton that will be stored out side of the public warehouses it looks as if fifty jer cent of the cotton will be kept off the market in any event and a con siderably !a,rger per cent than that unless the price goes to ten cents. Tne nope tnat cotton may reach the ten cent level within thirty days does not now appear to be extreme or unreasonable upening uncertainly at seven and a half centa cotton is now steady at eight and a half cents and it appeasa increasingly ev idejnt that not even the mills have yet supplied their needs. If the mill men become convinc ed that the tendency of the cot market is upward! rather than downward there is little doubt 'that they will ttike steps to take advantage of the low price now prevailing and should al 1 the mil Is suddenly manifest an eagerness to buy cotton there is little doubt that the price would respond to the movement very quickly. As the Advance sees it the cotton farmer now has but one danger to meet. If as soon as the cotton market rises to what he considers a fair level he at once attempts to sel 1 his whole crop the bottom will drop out of the price again and it will probablv be very hard for it to recover the lost ground. But if the farmer will continue the strong holding movement now prevailing all over the coun iry ana u as tne pnee soars upward in response to that movement he will market his cotton slowly aTOd caTefully and with a constant eye upon market quotations, resuming his hold ing position on soon as there is l slight drop iu the price, he will be able to sell two thirds of his cotton at as much or more than all of it would bring if dumped! on the market now; and he will have besides cotton to carry over that will help largely toward defraying expm ses on next year's work. The Advance believes that the action of the bankis in de aiding to render first aid to the farmer is well taken. No doubt the fact that so many farmers are to be helped will make it a little harder for some others to get money who have good collateral and who are as badly in need of the funds as the fanners themselves., But generally speaking if the farmer is not hard up the rest of us can get, along fairly jpieH with out the hanks' assistance. Help fag the farmer wilt mean reme dying the business depression of our section at its root. It will lftean the greatest good to the greatest number.
