A very interesting meeMng of
the C. L. S. C. Club wa3 held at
the home of Mr3. W. H. Great
head last Monday evening. The
class is doing excellent work as
shown by the carefully prepared
papers read and the general dis
cussion of the lesson by the mem
bers. The Southern . Melodies,
sung by a quartette, were much
enjoyed and added color to the
meeting.
John M. Martin, a native of the
Big Cove, but now a prosperous
Franklin county farmer, shows
his anxiety to see his name on the
December "Honor Roll" by send
ing in the cash to run his sub
scription into 1916. Johnnie says
that the splendid weather this
fall has enabled them to get their
corn all in; to get their barnyards
all cleaned up for winter stock;
to get a nice lot of ploughing
done, and to get a generous sup
ply of winter pork in pickle for
the ensuing year's consumption.
Mr. Martin, evidently, did not
butcher all his hogs, for he is
feeding 45 head, part for the Feb
ruary market, and the rest for
May.

Financial Aftermath of the War.
In an article in Scribner's Mag
azine, and summarized in an edi
torial in the New York Tribune,
Mr. Alexander D. Noyes, conced
edly the ablest of American com
mentators on financial questions,
both domestic and foreign, has
set forth some interesting con
elusions as to the financial condi
tion of Europe after the war. Mr,
Noyes does not dogmatize or in
dulge in the cryptic wisdom
which most financial experts af
fect His views are based on
common sense and are arrived at
by ordinary logic. One way to
judge of the strain put upon the
chief belligerents is to compare
the capital being put into war
loans with the capital ordinarily
available for new investments,
The war loans placed 'in Great
Britain, amounting to $4,750,000,
000, have been at least twice as
large as the largest sum ever pre
viously invested in the English
market in a corresponding period
in all securities combined. Ger
many's war loans of $6,300,000,
000 are five or six times as large
as her largest total investment in
all loans for a corresponding ear
lier, period. The yearly cost o
the war to all the nations engaged
in it is now between $25,000,000,
000 and $30,000,000,000. Much
of this capital is worse than wast
ed, since it is not even employed
to minister to pleasure or to lux
ury. However the war turns out,
therefore, Europe, will be very
poor when it is over. Crushing
taxes will have to be collected
and industry will be disorganized
by the necessity of turning back
the laboring population from the
munitions and war supplies fac
ades into the pursuits of peace
'apital for reorganization will be
acking. Laborers in the war in
dustries are earning high wages,
and the shock of any return to
the old lower scale of wages
would be cruelly severe. Mr.
Noyes "does not think that the
chief European nations will re
pudiate their debts, or attempt,
except perhaps here and there
and so far as their own citizens
or subjects are concerned, to pay
off their obligations in depreciated
currency. But domestic distress
will sorely tempt unscrupulous
politicians, just as.in this country
we suffered for many years after
the Civil War from a vicious agi
tation for the payment of the na
tional debt in greenbacks instead
of gold. European industry, sad'
y damaged by the war, will have
to be re-established before it can
again threaten outside markets,
