Philadelphia Special of Tuesday to
the Charlotte Observer: For the first
time in the memory of the oldest in
habitant Philadelphia is shipping cotton
South. The yarn mills receiving this
raw material are owned by Philadelphia
capitalists and wonld have to close down
entirely but for this supply, which is
necessarily limited The cotton market
is cornered by spectators in New York
and the price prevailing is SO high that
the mills cannot use 1t. At the conven-
tion of spinners held at Charlotte last
week IL was announced that certain
grades of cotton, as yarns and warps,
were selling in the open market for less
money than the cost of manufacture, the
fixed charges commissions aud interest
all representing net losses. The cotton
shipped TO the South has been In storage
here and in New York for some months
past, and it is believed that there is
enough of 1t to keep the mills controls
ing it in operation until there is break
in the cotton market.

unique situation has developed in the
Graniteville Manufacturing Company.

Serious for the Southern.

brought into the State Court which
practically looks to the annulling of the
lease of the South Carolina and Georgia
railroad by the Southern. The suit is
brought for John Cart, of Orangeburg,
by j.. III. Bryan and Miller & Whaiey, OF

the clause in the State Constitution pro-
hibiting the leasing of aroad by COM
petitor. Mr.. Cart asks to recover 800
per day from the date of the Southern's
lease, a sum amounting to nearly $3.50, 900.
If received the money would be divided
between Mr.. Cart and the State of South
Carolina. The suit is one of the great
est possible consequence TO the people
of Charleston and of those residing ia
the section through which the South

Topeka, Kans., May 27.-State
Employment Agent Il. B. Ge. .ow
says Kansas will need at least $4,000
men and 1000 teams for the wheat
harvest. His estimates ARE made
from reports received from every
township in the State. There are
no idle men in Kansas, so it will be
necessary to import harvest hands
from the neighboring States. There
is great scarcity of horses and
mules in the State. This is caused
by the fact that during the Boer war
thousands of Kansas animals were
purchased by the British and taken
to Africa.

Suddenly the conductor flung the

black, shaggy form leap over the
fence from the meadow beyond it,
and alight just where the newspaper,
after bouncing along in the grass,
had fallen beside tall MULLEN stalk

fields towards the farm house.

port figures indicate that the manufac-
lures and merchandise Of the United
States are popular with the people of
Canada. The statistical statement OF
Canadian commerce, just received by
the treasury bureau of statistics, COW
ering the commerce of the seven months
ending with January. 1903, shows that
Canada imported from the United
States during that time 81 million dol

80 million dollars worth from the
United Kingdom and 81 million dollars
worth from all other parts OF the world.
In other words, the United States sup
piled Sc per cent of the imports OF
Canada in the seven months ending
with January last, the United Kingdom
supplied 81 per cent, and the remain
ing portions of the world II per cent.
This large importation from the
United States by Canada is especially
in view of the fact that the
Canadian tariff permits the introduc-
ton of products from the United King
dom on payment of only two-thirds the
duty. which goods from other parts
of the world, including the United
States. must pay. This reduction in tar
riff on goods from the United King
dom as against goods from other parts
OF the world was begun some four
years ago and the reduction on British
goods increased until it reached 33 1-S
per cent. Yet, in spite of this fact. the
United States supplies to Canada twice
as much merchandise as does the Uni
