SEA ISLAND COTTON FROM CUBA.

Inc Shipment 10 InlS market OIL I'VE.
bales OF sea island cotton from Cuba
marks the first fruits of an expert
ment which may, or may not, result in
placing Cuba in the list of fine cotton
producing countries. 1t is the under
standing that three or four hundred
acres of land in the provinces of Ha-
vana and Pinar del Rio were last spring
planted in sea island cotton with seed
from South Carolina and Georgia, and
that this initial shipment represents the
first pickings of the crop. There will
be few more bales to follow the first
five, but the number of them win be
small and they will be as the proven
bal drop in the bucket in the mar
ket. Whether the Cuban long-staple
crop will ever amount to enough to be
felt in the market is matter that
time must demonstrate.
Two points in connection with the
shipment that are worthy of atten-
ton are these: that the cotton came
through the port of Mobile, and that
it was consigned to a firm in Savan-
nah. Mobile was the receiving port for
the reason that there is a steamship
line between that city and Havana, and
Savannah was the objective port be-
cause it is the leading sea island cot
ton market of the country. The query
is suggested by the incident of the
shipment, Why would it not be good
thing to have line of vessels between
Savannah and Havana? 1t seems that
there would be about as much business
to and from this point with Cuba as
there is at Mobile. Savannah is a con-
venient outlet from the manufacturing
districts of Alabama, Tennessee, the
Carolinas, Georgia and the West, and
a convenient port of entry for Cuban
products coming into this country.
But. to return to the planting of sea
island cotton in Cuba: the experiment
to which reference has been made is
not the first of it's kind, though it is
undertaken with probably more intel
ligence and more hope of success than
any of its predecessors. If we are cor
rectly informed, previous attempts at
growing long staple cotton in Cuba
have not been successful for a numeer
of reasons, the leading ones being that
the quality of the product deteriorated
rapidly from crop to crop, and that the
cost of producing the cotton on the is
land was greater than in the United
States. And yet it is a fact that Mr..
Milford of Lowndes county, this state,
investigated the Cuban soil and eli
mate about a year ago, and reached the
conclusion that they were well adapted
to the growing of sea island cotton
That there are certain disadvantages in
connection with growing the cotton in
Cuba may be taken as fact. otherwise
the staple would have been produced In
| the island long ago. Still. modern
methods may be able to overcome those
| disadvantages to a certain extent and
make Cuba something of cotton coun-
try. But there is not any danger that
it will take precedence of this section
in the production of long staple cotton.
South Carolina, Georgia and Florida
win continue to be the chief source of
supply of the finest cotton, and Savan-
nah viii be the leading market for II,
as heretofore.

How rapidly prohibition is advance
ing under the local option plan may be
judged from the following summary of
six Southern states published by the
Voice, a temperance organ:
"TeXas-One hundred and thirty-six
counties have total prohibition; sixty
two counties have partial prohibition,
and forty-siX counties have unrestrict-
ed sale of liquors.
"Tennessee-Out of $500 cities and
towns in the state only eight have I'M
restricted sale of liquors. In only
twelve of the ninety-six counties can
whisky be sold legally.
Kentucky - Forty-SeVen counties
have total prohibition; fifty-four have
partial prohibition, and eighteen have
unrestricted sale of liquors.
'ArkansaS-FOrty-fo counties have
total prohibition; two counties partial
prohibition. and twenty-nine have I'M
restricted sale.
ssissippi-SiXty-five counties out
of seventy-five have prohibition, and
out of 200 Legislators all but a dozen
or less have signified their approval
of a referendum for state prohibition
'Georgia-One hundred and three
counties of 1877 have prohibition"

A lively fight is on in Delaware over
the removal of Miss Todd, the post
master at Greenwood, in that state,
because she was personally and par

and the contest may be carried into
the Senate of the United States. Miss
Todd, it appears, was appointed on the
recommendation of Representative NOW

charges against her, by the Postmaster
General at the behest of Senator Alice.
If the action of the Postmaster General
stands, says Senator Ball, it will multi
fly all rulings for the protection OF
fourth class postofiices. The Senator
says he will take the matter to the
President, and to the Senate, if neces-
sary.
