The production of gold in the
United States during the first seven
months of the present year amounted
to abont 100000. To this should
be added Canadian and Mexican ore
received for smelling to the value of
100000. During the same time
our gold exports amounted to $780,
O9S,9 and our imports to 1925, $685.
995, the net exports being less than
S13,OOO,OOO. Allowing S8,OOO,0O0 for
use in the arts, we have 100000
available for money. This increase
has been in a period when gold ex-
ports are ordinarily very heavy. The
rest of the year will show a much
larger gain in our supply of the
yellow metal.

The raisin industry of California
has grown immensely in the last
decade. And our imports of raisins
from the Mediterranean have decreas-
ed corrospondingly. There was a
time when Malaga alone shipped us
100000 boxes year. Consul Burke
reports that last yeas she sent Us
only 3d. 1884 boxes. The way to pro-
tect home industries is to produce
what we want and produce it at low
cost. California is on the right track.

Some Cotton Facts.
From the Atlanta Constitution.

From the Atlanta Constitutional
As far back as 1887, when the cot
ton crop of this country was less than
5000 bales, the first cotton mill was
built at Beverly, Mass, and in 1871
the second was built at Providence.
Even at that early day the New
Englanders saw the future profit in
cotton manufacturing and they reach
ed out for it.
1909 the cotton States had four
mills, one in Georgia, one in South
Carolina, one in Tennessee and one
in Virginia, while there were eighty
three in the Northern States. Even
Maine was ahead of Georgia in build
ing cotton mills.
Looking backward to those days
it is difficult to understand why our
people neglected the manufacture of
the raw material at their doors, and
allowed mill owners at the other end
of the country and over the sea to
make fortunes out of the product
which should have been manufactur-
ed here at home and exported.
It was not because we lacked the
facilities. The first steamship that
ever crossed the Atlantic on other
than trial trip went from Savannah
to Liverpool. Our ports were then
better off for transportation to for
eign countries than they are now
For years after the revolutionary war
Charleston was a great importing
town. Yorktown, Va, had big i'm
porting trade, and merchants came
there from all the Northern States to
purchase goods. This was done early
in the present century, wnen Virginia
had the largest population OF any
State in the Union.
If we had at that time turned oul
: attention to cotton mills our pros.
perity would have been assured. But
we magnifed the agricultural interest
and left manufacturing to outsiders
and in a short time the South lost its
import and export trade, and the
markets shifted northward, and the
drift of population naturally tool
that course.
Nearly century later we are try
ing to repair our past negligence by
, building cotton mills and encourag
ing direct trade with Europe. W.
, have gone far enough to mahe i
7 evident that the South is the mos
; profitable field for cotton manufact
, uring, and all that we have to do il
, to continue our efforts in that direc
ton.
It is one OF the curiosities of histo
~ to see this section now attempting
q to regain what it might easily have
f controlled a century ago. We ca,
, soon become the leading section il
the cotton mill industry, and in tim
see our ports again crowded witt
foreign shipping, but it is almos
appalling to think of our long neg
s lected opportunities which, in tn
r hands of strangers, have enriche'
J, both old and New England.
0 What could our people have bee
y thinking of when they toiled for ger
i erations, to produce the world
d greatest staple, and allowed it to in
s. poverish them and build up the col
d ton mill barons of Manchester an
t. Massachusetts? Do they even no,
It realize the fact that in order to max
s. cotton profitable they must MANI
!, facture it in sight of the fields an
t. export the manufactured products t
ct every quarter of the globes

The Mammoth Cave.
The Mammoth Cave is in Edmor

The Mammoth Cave is in Edmon-
son county, Ky, near Green River.
It is about nine miles in length. It
contains a succession of wonderful
avenues, chambers, domes, pits, grot-
toes, lakes, rivers and cataracts. One
chamber, the Star, is 500 feet long,
70 feet wide and 70 feet high. The
ceiling of this chamber is composed
Of black gypsum, and is studded with
innumerable white points, which, by
a dim light, resemble stars; hence,
the name. There are avenues of
mile and half or even two miles OF
length, some of which are incrusted
with beautiful formations and present
most dazzling appearance. There
is natural tunnel about three-quart-
ers of mile long, 100 feet wide and
covered with a ceiling of smooth
rock, As feet high. Echo River is
some three-quarters of a mile long:
200 feet wide at some points, from
10 to 80 feet in depth and runs
beneath an arched ceiling Of smooth
rock Is feet high. The Styx, another
river, is $50 feet long, from Is to 40
feet wide, 80 to 40 feet deep and is
spanned by natural bridge. Lake
Lethe has about the same length and
width as the river Styx, varies in
depth from 3 to 40 feet, lies beneath
ceiling some 80 feet above its sur
face, and sometimes rises to height
of 60 feet. There is also Dead Set
in the cave. The entrance to tn,
cave is reached by passing down 1
wild, rocky ravine, through a dens'
forest. To visit the portions of tn
Mammoth Cave already explored re
quires, it is said, $50 to 200 miles o
travel.
