ped north, where it is manufactured,
while about two-thirds of the entire
crop are exported from the United
States.
The rapid removal of so large a pro-
portion of this great product within 80
short period of time requires large
amount of actual currency, for most
of the cotton is paid for in interior
towns at the south with spot cash.
As the cotton.growing region is not
densely populated, the accumulation
of banking capital there is not sufi-
cient to provide the enormous amount
of money needed for few months to
move the crop, and for this reason the
southern banks have to borrow largely
from banks in other sections during
this crop period. This is reflected in
national bank reports for the past few
years by the following figures, showing
the amount of money borrowed by
national banks in the distinctly cotton
states of North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas at
dates in each year approximating Oc-
toher I and March |.

A Club Incident.

An incident which occurred in New
York last week threw q side light upon
woman's ideas of certain matters and
things. A woman belonging to GER
tain club for personal reasons sent in
her resignation. She asked to have no
tice of the amount of her dues sent to
her. This was done, and she forthwith
paid them. She was owing, it was
found, for two years, state Of affairs
which it would not be supposed would
be considered very creditable. But with
the receipt sent her by the treasurer she
received letter, in which was the fol-
lowing remark, evidently made in good
faith: II must be pardoned for taking
the opportunity Of assuring you that
your thoroughbred action is very highly
appreciated, and makes your resignation
all the more to be regretted" What
must be the trials of a treasurer of q
club who feels called upon to make such
q statement to woman who has let her
dues run for two years and simply pays
them upon leaving the organizationl

". C, MCGOWAN For Governor.

Greenville News: A great unknown
has been interviewed by a Columbia
newspaper, The Record, and he pre-
diets that the Conservatives are hatch
ing a profound scheme to run MIR. W..
c. MCGOWAN, of Abbeville, for gover-
nor. According to the unknown, q
conference has already been held at
which it was agreed that the Conser-
vatives should support Mr.. MCGOWAN,
and that in the meantime the Conser-
vative newspapers should "throw dust
in the eyes of the people" by discuss
ing other candidates favorably. This
is the first intelligence of any confer
ence of Conservatives having been
held that has come to The News; but
it is quite true that many people are
talking of Mr.. MCGOWAN as first rate
man to elect governor. Mr.. MCGOWAN
is very strong in the state and every
body likes aud admires him. Should
he be candidate for governor he
would receive handsome support.
That is certain.

CAUSES Of SUICIDE.

Suicides in this country are said to
have increased IS per cent. since 1860
The real cause, according to Robert n
Reeves Popular Science Monthly, is
the growth of a nervous, disordered
Temperament in the American people
although the direct incentive usually
named are insanity, heredity, financial
reyerses and domestic complications
Mr.. Reeves divides suicides into two
great classes-those in which reason is
called upon to decide between life and
death and those that are due to impulse
and insanity. He maintains that sui.
eide is beyond the reach of the criminal
code, aud only sympathetic efforts to
improve the environments of the un'
fortunates may be expected to avail
ANYTHING. OF the alleged influence oi
climate upon the rate of suicide Mr.
Reeves writes:
"Where it is true that climate ex
erts but little influence over the rate
of suicide, the seasons, on the contra
ry, do strongly affect it. The popular
belief is that suicide is more frequent
during the months of winter anc
spring. This, however, is incorrect
Cold, wet, damp weather does not, a:
so many people suppose, promote de-
spondency and suicide. Strange as il
may seem, at that period of the yeal
when the sufferings of the poor ant
the sick are least, when employment
is most readily obtained, when the
pleasure of living should be at it:
highest, suicide is most frequent
May, June and July, the months o
song and sunshine in all countries
give the greatest number of self-mur
ders. For this there is no satisfactory
explanation, unless we accept that o
the medical fraternity, which is thai
during the period of early summer the
organism is working at higher ten
sion, every function of mind and body
is more active than at any other perioo
of the year, and consequently there j:
greater liability to sudden physica
and mental collapse"
1t has been found that the temper
ate regions show the highest ratio, but
this is said to be due to increased phys
ical and mental wear and to interfer
ence with natural laws:
"The sad fact that suicide and edu
cation increase at equal rate is now
generally admitted. Civilization does
not free humanity from grief, disgrace

"When the borrowings Of the state
banks in these states are added to
those of the national banks, and it is
understood that most of this money is
borrowed from New York, it can be
seen how potent a factor the cotton
crop movement must be in affecting
interest rates In New York.
"These figures, I think, too, show
how vital an interest bankers, mer'
chants and farmers in the cotton grow
ing states have in currency which
would be elastic. If any plan could
be devised under which the southern
banks could issue additional currency;
equal to one-fourth of their capital
stock during the cotton season, it
would be, a godsend to that section.
For it would enable the banks there
to furnish the money needed without
outside aid, and free from the cost OF
interest now paid on borrowed money,
and national banks in all other sec.
tions having the same privilege. The
result would be to make money more
abundant and cheaper, and to relieve
the New York market of the annual
strain now put upon it.
"On October 6, 1896, the capital
stock of the national banks in the eight
states named was about $3S, 900, 900.
Could they have issued currency to
the extent of one-fourth of this
amount, they could themselves have
furnished about 50, 100000 of the s1l,-
OOO, 900 they were compelled under ex-
listing circumstances to borrow outside.
In my opinion, therefore, the cotton
growing south has more vital interest
in devising bank currency which is
elastic, as we'll as safe, than any other
section of the United States.

LESSON IN FINANCE.
Cotton States Sorely Need an Elastic Cur
rency.

Cotton States sorely Need an Elastic Cur
rency.
Deputy Comptroller of the Curren'
cy Coffin, in discussing the recent
sharp advance in New York money
rates, said, last Wednesday
"Some of the recent sharp advances
in rates of interest on demand loans in
New York is no doubt due to specula'
tive manipulation of the stock market
but I think the impulse to this upward
turn has been given by the heavy
withdrawal from New York of funds
for the legitimate purpose of moving
the cotton crop now coming to market
As a resident of South Carolina, famil.
lar with the movement of this crop,
have for years observed its effect upon
national bank statements, as well as
on the money market in New York
during the month Of September. As
rule the rates of interest advance
about this time, and in some years
have approached the danger line, and
while the movement of wheat and
other grain crops has contributed to
this effect, still l think the movement
of the cotton crop has been the main
factor for this reason.
The average value of the cotton
yield is about s3OO,OOO,OOO, and it is
practically marketed between October
l and March l, or within a period OF
five months; but it is peculiar in this
respect, that only about one ninth Of
the entire crop, when this is 9,oOo,o ,ooC
bales, remains in the section where il
is grown. Of the remaining eight

town and almost to the edge Of the
bay"
The fugitives devoured the only food
they had-a couple Of cold fish cooked
at fire the night beforehand then
stretched themselves on the ground in
the thickest part of the forest. What
little sleep they got was broken. and al
midnight cold. steady rain began te
fall that put summary end to all fur,
ther rest. 1t dropped through the foil
age and crept in little rivulets along the
ground.
The remainder Of the night was pass,
ed sitting up.
At last morning dawned, cold, wet
and cheerless, and Platoff, with few
words of encouragement, led his com
panions off in single file.
Realizing the increased dangers tina,
now surrounded them, he observed ev.
cry possible precaution, seeking out the
deepest part of the forest and keeping
in the shelter of trees and stones II
rained steadily all the morning, and
with wet clothes and empty stomachs
the fugitives felt miserable indeed. At
noon, as they " ere ascending a steep,
wooded ridge, the sky frightened visi'
bly,, and Platoff, who had reached the
summit at that moment in advance OF
the rest, shouted with joy and waved
his hands in the air. His companions,
with fast beating hearts, hurried TO the
spot.
Maurice was ahead, and as he gained
the crest and stood beside Platof he
saw spread before his eyes the scene
that be had so often dreamed of-a
scene that he could never, never forget.
Six or seven miles to the eastward lay
the Pacific, a cleaning blue sheet, lit
up by a momentary bar of sunlight that
had broken through rift in the clouds.
Still farther beyond sea and sky faded
into the dusky, gray horizon. But closer
at hand, along the base of sloping green
hills, lay the graceful curving Of the
bay Of Amur, with here and there q
ship riding at anchor, while slightly to
the south, a sight never to be forgotten,
lay Vladivostok, its roofs and spires
and the shipping in the harbor bathed
in golden mist
"A sign from heaveu!'' cried Platoff.
"God is with us. He will aid US to es-
cape" And reverently taking off bis
cap he fell on his knees.
All followed his example. overcome
with gratitude and emotion. In silence
they looked their fill at the glorious
view, neither willing nor able to speak.
Captain Daroman was apparently as
deeply impressed as his comrades. A
strange light was in his eyes, a fierce
and sudden JOY upon his face.
Thus they knelt for some moments,
and even as they looked the golden haze
faded away, dark clouds hid the broken
rift, the sea paled and vanished, and a
great hazy stormcloud, massed in bill
lowy folds, came sweeping landward,
siding in its advance the harbor and
the town and the green foothills.
Come" said Platoff, rising to his
feet, "come; it is time to CO."
