No Change of Control.

The Grcenvilo News of the 20th
ult., says: According to reports re~
ceived here yesterday from Easlcy, it
was made to appear that the South
ern Railway had either leased or
bought the Pickcns railroad. From
tho same sources it was said that
trains would be run on n regular
schedule from P;ckens to this city.
When asked yesterday about tho
report Mr.. julius e. Boggs, of Pick.
ons, said there was absolutely no
foundation for it. He said that a
party of Southern Railway officials
went to Pickens week ago at his 70.
quest, but it was on another matter
and had nothing to do with the sale
or lease Of the short line.

Commerce between the United states

very considerable sun, but its appar.
ent magnitude is somewhat reduced

Dor, through its Bureau of STATISTICS,
that n plaster is only four and half
cents in value Tor, to be more accurate,
A. cents). These are the figures OF
the Turkish government. Reduced TO
United States currency, they give
total value of little more than two
million dollars. The figures OF the
Bureau of Statistics, however. state
our total commerce with Turkey last
wear at about six million dollars with
Turkey in Europe and about five mil
lion dollars with Turkey in Asia. III
that of Turkeys dependency in Africa
-Egypt-were included, the totai
would be about twenty-three million
dollars, but the figures of the Turkish
government do not include mat OF
Egypt.
With Turkey in Asia the commerce
of last year was over five million doi'
lars, but of this sum only S2I624I was
exports and S4S97,4 ,42S was imports. II
we consider Egypt as part of turkey
the total would be considerably en-
larged. though still with heavy bal'

from Egypt $10,661 ,9IS. The Bureau
