Factor Of the south,s Pr0gperity.

Factor of the South's Prosperity.
While cotton is not exactly the re-
gnant product 1t was before the war,
having given way in n measure to corn,
which is now the crowned product Of
the field, It has assumed great import
ance of late, and kept pace with the re-
iuvenation of the agricultural interests
OF the country in these days OF prosper
ity. This year the planters in the south
have been extremely fortunate In OBJ
talning unusual rewards for their cot
ton crops, barring certain fluctuations
brought about by over-speculation.
The treasury bureau of statistics fur
n!shes an exceedingly interesting state
nent of the expectation of cotton dur
ing the month Of April, which eclipses
by far the record made for the same
month last year the exports OF 1893 be-
ing 1874, 1877 ,82S pounds, as against 264.-
OASIS pounds in April 1900, with value
of S24,6S4, O7s compared with $S,435O97 in
April 1899. The average price per
pound in April 1900. was csc and in
April 1899, 6.3c, an increase of about so
per cent The United Kingdom in
creased her Importation of American
cotton from 100000 pounds in April
1889, to 100000 in April 1900; France,
from 100000 pounds in April 1893, to
1S.OOO,OO0 in April 1900; Germany, from
Is, 100000 pounds in 1899 to nearly S.
100000 in April 1900; and other Euro
pean countries, from 100000 pounds In
April 1899, to 6i,OOO,OOO in April 1900.
Japan, which had been busy in the
earlier part OF the year obtaining her
supply, did not take as much in April
1900 as in April 1899, the figures being
In April 1899, 13.707G4s pounds, and in
April 1900, 5,935,573 pounds. During the
ten months ending with April. however,
japan took 155,5SS,547 pounds. against
Il, 77S, 7O1 in the corresponding months OF
the preceding fiscal year. while Eng
land had during the ten months taken
but 1859, 2SO,11S pounds. against l,7O7,-
242, 462 pounds in the corresponding
months of last year, the total for the
other European countries in 1900 being
about equal to that OF the corresponding
months of 1899.
Meantime the American manufactur-
ers are also taking time by the forelock
and laying in their share of the stock in
sight, even at the advanced prices
which are now very much in excess Of
those 4 year ago. The latest quotations
received by the bureau Of statistics
show the price of cotton IN New York
to be 9.3lc on May 25 and on April Goth
9.lSc, while the figures for one year
earlier were GAc for May 90 1899, and
6lsc for April 10. 1899, an increase of so
per cent during the twelve months.
This brings the price of cotton to a
higher figure than at any prior time
during the decade. The average price
per pound in the year 1891 was SEC, in
1898, SEC, and since that date has ranged
downward, being in 1895 5.9c, and in
1899, csc.

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower has the largest
sale of any medicine in the civilized
world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought of using any
thing else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard Of Appendicitis, Nervous
Prostitution or Heart failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation of undi-
gested food, regulate the action of the
liver, stimulate the nervous and or
ganic action of the system, and that
is all they took when feeling dull and
bad with headaches and other aches.
You only need few doses of Green's
August Flower, in liquid form, to
make you satisfied there is nothing
serious the matter with you. Sample
bottles at Grant Holden's drug store.

ONCE there was a philosopher. The
philosopher had cat. The cat had
kittens. The wise man had lot Of
cat holes in his kitchen-a large hole
for the old cat, and smaller ones for the
kittens. Ills philosophy told him that
the little holes were necessary. n
goodly number of the same kind of
philosophers seem to be in congress
just now, and they are insisting on the
necessity of both cat and kitten holes
holes Of one size for Cuban cats, holes
of another size for Porto Rican pussies,
and still another size for PHILIPPINE
kittens. The philosopher may be right
but Thomas Jefferson did not think so
when he wrote the Declaration of In
dependence, in which he took the
ground that all men were created free
and equal, with certain inalienable
rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness.
