Consul f. c. Penfield. at Cairo, Egypt,
sends the state department an interesting
letter with regard to the shipments of
During last year Egyptian cotton to
an amount equal to 5000 bales of Ameri-
can cotton were imported into this coun-
try for consumption, and the indications
are that the importations during the cur
rent year will be much larger. Egyptian
cotton is a long staple. and combines read
lily with American short staple in the
manufacture Of certain lines of goods. 1t
is a substitute for the sea island cotton
of the coast and is imported because the
supply of sea islands is not equal to the
demand. Consul Penheld thinks it is with
in the power of American planters to so
increase their output of long staple cot
ton that there would be no necessity for
the importation of the Egyptian. The sea
island territory is limited, and is tolera-
bly, we'll developed. There will probably
be some increases of acreage in Georgia
and Florida for several years to come.
But the belt in which sea island cotton
large.
Consul Penfeld has examined the soil
of the Egyptian long cotton territory, and
finds that it is similar in a great degree
to the rich bottom lands of the Mississippi
and Brazos valleys. He is satisfied that
Egyptian cotton seed planted in those
valleys would be fruitful. If that conclu-
sion is correct there are thousands of acres
of rich bottom lands in the state of Geor-
gia that would also produce bountiful
crops Of Egyptian long staple cotton.
Many of these acres, however, would
have to be reclaimed by drainage with
| great canals. And therein lies a most
| important work which might be perform
ed by the state convicts.
! Efforts up to this time to secure Egyp-
tian cotton seed have not met with much
| success. The growers do not care to en-
! courage competition by furnishing seed.
But Consul Penfield says they could
| doubtless be obtained through the employ
ment of commercial diplomacy The mat
ter of the increasing of the American out
| put of long staple cotton seems to be worth
the attention of southern farmers Short
staple cotton production is being pushed
for all there is in it. The foregoing are,
in the main, the views of Consul Penfield.
who writes from his standpoint in Egypt.
OF the conditions in this country, and the
experiments that have been made with
Egyptian cotton he may not be well in

1t appears that the Savannah postofice
building is to be a victim of Reeds cheese
pairing policy unless Congressman Lester
can bring great strength to bear upon the
passage of a separate bill for the post
office. Mr.. Reed was at the head of the
House during the billion dollar congress,
when the record Of extravaganza in public
expenditures were broken. hence his
cheeseparing during this congress appears
especially small business.

Conflict OF Man VS. Man.

Great powers are constantly con-
centrating their forces in opposition
to each other. All the wealth and
influence available is sought and di-
rected to amass power and thus to
overcome opposing factions. To tri-
umph over competitor in hotly
contested battle, seems to be the
aim and desire of all. Why is all
this energy exertedl ? Is there any
real advantage or necessity for one
man or one body of men to work SO
vigorously against another?
Competition and opposition con-
front us on all sides. The great war
for supremacy and control is con-
stantly being waged The numer-
Gus secret organizations, scattered
over this wide land, are each banded
together for the mutual protection
of their own members. One trades

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S-It is quite prob
able that provision will be made in the
coming session Of congress for a boundary
commission to determine the divisional
line between Minnesota and Manitoba.
Representative Heatwole reported from
the foreign affairs committee in the last
house a resolution providing for such q
commission. The dispute is over tract
known as Hunters island and hinges on
whether the main channel Of the Rainy
Lake river runs north or south Of the is.
land. 1t has been suggested that the Alas
kan boundary dispute may be coupled
with that of Minnesota and an amendment
offered to the Heatwole resolution provid-
Ing that the same commission shall deter
mine the Alaskan boundary. Objection
Is made to this by the Minnesota men, who
say that it will be difficult to determine
the ownership of Hunters island, while
the dispute of Alaska might engage the
commission long time, TO the delay of the
other question.
