and Courier publishes 26-column review of
the trade and industries of Charleston for

port shows 20 per cent increase in the re-
ceipts of cotton, and also an increase in for

of business into other States. The phos-

phosphate rock mined in and around the
city was over two and a half million dollars.

land cotton is estimated at sos, 600 bales. The
crop of island cotton will be cut off nearly
one-half by the great storm and the worm.
The estimated corn crop is over seventeen
million bushels, the largest ever known. The
tone of the whole review is confident and

one of the Lassear family came from Mon
treal about two weeks ago.
A reporter saw Mr. James M. Anthony, a
member of the board of health today, and
asked him if there were any more cases of
small pox. ''Not yet," said Mr.. Anthony,
''but you can say there will be 2oc0 more
cases. The place where they were discov-
cred was the worst pest spot | ever saw. The
cases were reported to me by the French
physician as scarlet fever. / went there,
right in amongst it, and sat down, and l said
to him, What have you here?' Scarlet fe-
ver,, said he. It's notv yelled l, it's small
poX! and DR.. Sullivan came there on my or
der, and said l was right at once. There is
little reason to doubt, from the present as
pect, that the city will shortly be filled with
the disease"
No new cases of small pox have been re-
ported today. The entire family in which
the three cases discovered yesterday existed,
consisting of seven persons, was removed to
the small poX hospital today. There. was a
great rush today for vaccination, and at the
office of the city physician 200 children were
