DULL TIMES IN ENGLAND.
British Exports and Imports Have Falle
OFF Heavily This Year.

BrIClSn Exports ana Imports Have Fallen
OF Heavily This Year.
An English paper, the Manchester
Union, gives this synopsis of trade con-
ditiOns:
England has suffered from dull times,
as have France, Germany and other
European countries, without regard to
their tariff policies The aggregate
loss in the export trade this year, as
compared with the first nine months
of 1892, is given at almost $50 600, 600.
But the falling off in imports is much
greater still, amounting to $75, 1000, ,000
showing that dull lines had prevented
the British from buying since they
could not sell. This falling off in Brit
ish imports by $75,000,00O in nine
months gives one good reason why
wheat is but little above 60 cents a
bushel in Chicago. The exports of
British coal fell off $10,000,00O in the
first nine months of this year as
compared with the year before. In
cotton yarns the export dirnin-
ished by over 25,OOO,O00 pounds and
in cotton piece goods by 25o,OOO,O 900
yards, as compared with the exports in
1892. While this shows heavy i'm
mediate loss to manufacturers and to
labor, it is Indicative, however, of de-
creased stocks of cOttOns in purchasing
countries, unless other manufacturing
countries have met the deficiency in
the English trade, which does not ap-
pear reasonable in face of the large
stocks Of raw cotton that are available.
In textile fabrics the exports decreased
by nearly $10,o00,O00, and in wcollen
and worsted yarns by nea4.ly 5000, 900,
and in woollen goods by 81, 5000
Metal goods. hardware and cutlery all
fell off in quantity and value; tin
plate exports decreased by nearly
$500,0o0, smaller purcLG, IS by the
United States representing the full
amount OF the decline. The exports OF
manufactures in iron and steel repre-
sent a loss OF $1,000, 900; of machinery
the same amount; articles of wearing
apparel; shop goods and articles fol-
personal use decreased to the extent Of
$4,000,000, with smaller losses in eX
potts of glass, cement and paper. The
export trade in earthen ware and oils
increased somewhat.

SECTION II. Any person residing or

public roads in the district in which
he resides or owns property, to an

Care OF Dociduoun Taath.

The child receives Its first temporary
tooth about the fifth month after
birth, the dentition being completed at
the age Of two years. 1t has been often
said that the nurse cannot be too care
ful that these teeth are cleaned with a
soft brush and warm water. The child
usually retains these teeth until the
eruption of the peranent set, the first
permanent tooth appearing about the
sixth year. The deciduous teeth should
be carefully watched, and when tooth
shows decay consult your dentist, and
have 1t filled. At this stage the filling
Is not expensive, and will save the
child much pain and trouble from an
aching tooth. The early extraction of
the dcciduous teeth often causes the
irregularities of the permanent set.
They should be retained until the jaw
has fully expanded to receive the per-
ament teeth. Teach the child the neces-
sity Of keeping the teeth clean aid
pure. The early use Of the toothbrush
will establish habit that will, In after
years, be considered a necessity to
health and personal cleanliness.

Tho j ute Trust Again

The National Cordage Company,
otherwise the Jute tagging Trust, is
playing a great game to keep the mar
ket cornered for the present year and
pull the farmer for all 1t can on the bag
ging needed this season. The trust has

Client to take care Of this years cotton
| crop, and 1t Is too late under the pre-.
sent conditions for the farmers and cot
ton men to talk about importing bag
cling from England. The facts in tho
case from aSOuthern standoint are that
many Of the cotton factors and farmers
have laid In supply of bagging with
which to handle a large part of their
crop, having bought 1t at time when
the low freight rates from New York
and other Northern points were in
force, because they got 1T laid down
| cheaper than they cOull have done had
the regular freight rates remained in
| force. They will not therefore, need a
| full supply with which to handle their
crops, and the trust knows this. The
farmers and factors would not, there.
lore, be so ready to begin imVIriing
1t Is a fact, too, that owing TO lio fail
ing II In the demand the foreign mills
have been inactive, and If orders were
given now they could not be filled In
time for the crop. Tho bagging trust
appreciates this situation, and is going
to push the market for all it is worth,
The Senate bill takes off the duty of
2,22 cents, which was kept up by the
Nc Ktnley Act, and consequently makes
the bagRing Just that much cheaper,
AS an example OF the fact that the
trust 10 going to squeeze the farmer for
all 1t Is worth, 1t may be stat ed that not
week ago bagging was advanced
tnree'quarterS OF q cent. yard within
four or five days time. The trust re-
alizes that this Is Its last chance. The
consequence is bagging Is advancing In
price every day or two. Unless some
thing can be done the chances are that
bagging will go much higher than It
has ever been since the Alliance tackled
the Jute Trust. One Of the managers
OF the Cordage Company is quoted as
follows:
"Bagging will be bagging before the
season Is over and we expect TO recoup
our losses on this season and look to the
Republicans to put us back under their
protecting wing in the future"
This not only bears out the indlca-
tions, but shows they boast Of the fact
that they will attempt to squeeze out
every dollar they can. If the trust per.
slst IN trying to force up the prices Of
Jute bagging the farmers should use
sugar SACKS or any other covering for
cotton In order to defeat 1t.

Rates for the HtAte Fair

COLUMBIA, S. G., August % 1t is
very hard to imagine what Mr.. Slaugh-
ter, assistant commissioner of the
Southern Passenger Association, or any
OF the roads In the association, has
against Columbia.and against the State
or South Carolina and It's annual State
tair. Last year the discrimination of
the association against the State fair
IN the matter of granting rates, was so
llagrant that the commissioners rece1y-
ell just censure on all sides. The com.
missioner would not, under any kind
or pressure, announce any rate at all
Till the very last minute, and then gave
such rate that the fair was practical
ly killed. the announcement being
made only three days before the fair
opened. Competitive attractions at
different points were allowed much
cheaper rates.
Now the commissioner, while he
makes the annOuncement-So far as
time Is concerned--aIl right, has delib
erately gone to work and quoted a rate
for an attraction, which has always
drawn thousands Of people, that Is ex.
actly what any cross roads,or any other
gathering can obtain for its delegates
But here Is the announcement, which
has just been sent out by the fair so 1.
clety, and 1t speaks for itself:
Secretary Holloway begs to inform
the, public through the press of the
State, that as to rates of passage for
the State Fair, November 18th to 10th,
MIR. M. Slaughter, assistant commits.
sioner Of the Southern Passenger AS
sociation, writes as follows:
Lines interested having agreed
rates Of one fare for the rouni trip
plus SO cents admission coupon, from
points In South Carolina and Augusta.
Ga., and from Charlotte, Wilmington,
and intermediate points, to Columbia,
and return, for the above occasion, are
hereby approved.

to 10th inclusive. with final limit No.

Tickets may be sold to bona fide
exhibitors and help November 9Th, 9th
and 10th, 1894
"The press of the State will greatly
oblige all Interested by publishing the
above information"
The members of the Columbia board
of trade, who were just taking steps
to provide unusual outside attractions
for the coming fair, are very outspoken
In their criticisms, and say that such a
rate cannot but seriously affect the at.
tendance at the fair.
