The south's Cotton Interests.

Cicago lnter-Ocean. ..N,
The manufacturing activity In the Sontn
led to a great increase in the productlon
of cotton In 1880 the cotton product was
8, 70S, 943 bales, valued at $2So' 266' wv IN
1887. the first year of McKinleys admin
istration. the product was II, 200 600 bales
Valued at $500, S62, 900. Last year the 10
Sss 600 bales had a value of S4A. 667 OOO
In the wear 1897 our exports of cotton
cloth TO China increased from 1921 600
wards to 140.121. 600 yards. In 1899 emma
took 22l Of3 900 yards of cotton CLOTH IN
1900 she took 1872 023,00 yards, ana IN l31l
exactly So, $3.50 900 yards.
In 1897 our exports OF unmanulactuIen
cotton to Japan increased from 2o.i94,oOO
bounds to 81 OH 900 pounds, and went up
in 1893 to Ill 200 900 pounds, and in lSO0
to 161, 6o1, 900 pounds, though they cropped
in 1901. for a special reason, to S9279,OOo
pounds.
These figures show why the South is in
terested In the development of our Ash
attic trade. While China was taxing great
quantities of cotton manufactures, Japan
was constantly increasing her purchase OF
manufactured cotton. The South fur-
nished ali of the raw produce for Japan
and a fair part of the manufactured pro-
duct for China.
There were other heavy purchasers OF
cotton and cotton products in Astatlo
countries, but the largest customer was
China. and the Boxer rebellion, Wn1ch
cut down the Chinese demand for cotton
manufactures more than one-half also
cut down the demand for raw cotton from
Japan. The South, therefore, felt the
Boxer rebellion more severely than any
other part of the country, and IT is more
interested in the re-opening of trade In
China and peace in the PhlllpplneS tnan
any other part.

How to Increase School Attendance.


At recent meeting of the County
School Board of Accomac. a resolution
was adopted recommending to the several
district school boards a close observance
of the law in regard to the maintenance
Of the legal average attendance neoes-
sary to keep a school OPEN and that
where 1t is shown by last reports that
school has not maintained the legal aver

stances. as to location and school pop
NATION. the same shall be closed.
This is a wise action, and 1t is to be
honed that other boards throughout the
state will adopt the same plan. This
matter is largely in the hands of the
county and district boards. and by proper
attention they can increase the school at
tendance. If the people of this commu-
nity and that are made to understand
that they must send their children to
school regularly or lose the school they
will be more careful how they let tn
children stay at home on slight excuse.
In some sections where the popuato
is sparse, 1t will not do to enforce
hard and fast rule The school authori
ties should not require impossibilities
but where there are enough children in q
community to maintain a school and kecp
up the average the authorities should in

ish the school.
A little more attention on the part %
the various school boards to this subject
will bring much desired results.
