Sea Island Cotton-The market is steady
There were sales of 8, 102 bags for the week
ending last Friday. While the receipts
are about 10000 bags more than they were
this time last year the movement this year
is month in advance of what it was last
year. This is the result of the drought
The movement would probably have been
much larger had il not been for the delay
caused by a scarcity of bagging, due TO
loss in transit by fire and other mishaps,
and also to the strike in the mills at Dun
dee Scotland. One Savannah firm lost
about so 0O0 yards in transit The loss has
been about made up by recent receipts,
however. and shippers have been supplied

Piercing the left side like a keen
edged knife, palpitation, choking in
the throat, usually accompanied by
retarded circulation, are sure signs Of
heart disease. If neglected death is
the result, and if taken in time they
may be cured and the long line of dis
eases which follow in the wake of i'm
perfect heart action may be avoided.
Dr. Miles New Heart Cure is the only
safe and reliable medicine for diseased
hearts. 1t never fails to benefit when
taken in time.
IT had spells when I would get ice
cold and my heart would stop beating;
then 1 would feel a piercing pain which
seemed to go right through me, which
would be followed by palpitation and
1 would clutch at my left breast in ag-
ony. From the time 1 began taking DR..
Miles New Heart Cure these spells
grew less severe and finally disappear
ed altogether. I am well and strong
now and can do all my own work with
ease"

THE BOMB MAKERS.
Boys Confess to Dangerous Sport in
Punchbowl Town.

The two Portuguese arrested for
shooting off a water-pipe bomb on
Punchbowl a few nights ago, have con-
fessed and were charged this morning
with common nuisance. 1t will be re-
membered that a part of the bomb
went through the house of Louis An
drade.
The boys worked at the shop of the
late John Phillips and were making the
bombs as an experiment for Christ
mas use. The one set off on Punchbowl
was the official test. They will make
no more bombs out of three-inch water
pipe.
The boys were Victor Fernandez
and Philip sylvia. They were fined IS
each this morning. Judge WilcoX's
lecture" was on the subject of cannon
making. He advised the boys to cave
the business to Krupp and other manu-
facturers until they could get the pro-
per appliances for work.

The career Of prosperity which the
Manchester ship canal appears to
have entered upon at last has iuspir-
ed Brussels to favor a similar project
for that city.
II is proposed to make the city a
maritime port, with dock accommo.
ton, and n basin Tor shipping, COM
prisimg about $4,000 acres. The
canal will be about scycnty.iivc miles
long. The work has not yet been
begun. but it is said that there is no
doubt that the scheme will he carried
through.
Both the Manchester ship canal
and the projected waterway in Bel
GUM sink into insigniiicnnco when
compared with the Russian canal
that is now being built from the Bal
tic to the Black Sea. 1t is to be 1880
miles long, large enough to permit
the largest warship To pass through.
1t will have a width at the top OF pit
feet and III feet at the bottom, with
depth Of 2813 feet.
Tho canal is being so strongly
built that vessels may % through il at
the rate OF six knots an hour. II will
take six days for Il vessel to pass
through it, travelling night and day.
The canal is to be lighted up along
its whole by electricity, and
the total cost IL estimated at G2i.OOO,-
600. Four years will be required to
complete 1t.

otherwise, which Russia expects to
derive from the making Of this man

scheme is viewed very favorably
