TUTUILA Samoa, November H.
The United States navy is about to
station in Tutuila thirty marines, with
an officer. The Samoans are not pleas
ed with the report and anticipate trou-

tive soldiers, which may arise through
Jealousy and the idea that the white
men will look down upon them and
treat them as interiors. The Samoans
are a proud people and will resent any
such treatment should it be attempted.

Guarding the Tomb of
Lincoln.

President Roosevelt has said q
good many sensible things and be
has said number of silly things
during his recent tour, now happily
ended.
Among the silly things he said is
his speech at Springfield, Illinois:
in which he said:
1t seems TO me eminently fitting
that the guard around the tomb of
Lincoln should be composed of col
ored soldiers. 1t was my own good
fortune a. Santiago to serve beside
colored troops
1t is not apparent why guard is
necessary at the tomb OF Lincoln
any more than at the tomb O! wash
iugton or Of Grant, There is no
danger of vanaals dcsecrating the
grave, AVID If there should I've such
danger it would be safer To have
white troops on hand.
II a guard of honor should be
stationed at Lincoln's tomb it should
be guard If white men, from the
North and South, who are the rul-
ing spirits Of this greater republic
which has grown out of emancipa-
ton.
No doub: President Roosevelt
spoke unguardedly when lie took
such a narrow view OF Mr.. Lincoln's
great services, but it looks very
much as il he was bidding for the
negro vote Of Illinois, without which
that great State would he Demo-
cratic.-Times Democrat.

Before and After.

Three schools in Durham County,
North Carolina, were consolidated
into one in 1902 with gratifying
results to the county school officials,
to the patrons and pupils and t" the
teacher-all parties concerned
The school officials learned by
the experiment that the consollda-
ted school could be run ono month
longer than the three separate
schools with the same amount of
money and that the average attend
ance was increased from fifty-five
to eighty.
The patrons lind that under tue
new arrangement that their child
rem and wards are deriving the bene-
ITS Of a graded school.
The children were made happier
with better school furniture and
comforts, and had more AMI bette,
appliances to facilitate proper
studying.
The teachers (the two Of the
three who were retained were
pleased because their salaries we're
increased nearly fifty per cent.
A result Of the change, particu-
larly pleasing to everyone CONCERN
ed, was the fast that three miser.
ably poor school houses were absn-
doned, and y meat comfortable one
erected.

The High Price of Cotton.
The Times Democrat of Tuesday

The T,mes.Democrat of Tuesday
says:
Yesterday, spot cotton crossed
the II cent mark, and July con-
tracts sold At ID cents, after a SEN
sat,onal gain of so points. These
figures certainly look sensational
by comparison with the prices
which ruled several years ago for
the tleecy staple. 1t is Only within
a few years that cotton sold below
cents on plantations, and at that
figure at the outports. At 5 cents
a pound a bale of cotton was worth
on an average $25. At the pres
ent price bale Of cotton is worth
$50. The price of cotton has,
therefore, considerably more than
doubled since the low record
touched few years ago.
| Yesterdays advance may be
called the direct result of manipu-
latlon, aud no doubt manipulation
had much to do With it, but it was
the existing conditions of supply
and demand that made the manip-
ulation possible. The supply of
cotton is now so small, and the
demand for it so heavy that the
holder of actual cotton is really
in the position of being able to
compel practically any price he
sees fit to ask. In a word, cotton
has cornered itself, owing to the
fact that consumption has been
very seriously underestlmated.
As for the deal in contracts
tor delivery during the summer
months, there seems now every
indication that the managers of the
bull clique will be able to carry
through their plans successfully.
| Although the whole trade is
watching the process of squeezing
the shorts with keen interest, the
number of people actually inter-
ested is small. Speculation has
been diverted from the summer
months, which are no longer safe
for any but the people already in
the deal to the new crop positions
which are now active. New crop
months, which are at an enormous
discount, compared with old crop
positions, have nevertheless ad-
vanced considerably. The late
start of the crop and the unfavora-
BILE weather experienced until
about, ten days ago have made the
outlook for the crop of 1908 any
thing but brilliant. Nevertheless,
1t is absolutely necessary that there
should be large crop, as the
worlds requirements promise to be
greater than ever before. and sur.
plus stocks, which are counted on
to meet emergencies, have been
cut down to practically nothing
A crop as large as twelve million
bales could be cared for without
danger of oversupply The pros
pect, therefore, is that prices will
again rule high next season. The
present prices may not be reached,
but there is no reason why the
figures at which new crop dellv-
cries are now selling should not
be realized, and even more.
Despite the bad start of the crop
and the low condition average of
the Government on June /, there
is nothing improbable in the crop
turning out large one, hotwith-
standing. The point TO be consld-
cred, however, is that even should
it he large, it will not be greater
than the worlds requirements will
safely absorb.
