We publish elsewhere in to-
days issue an official notice from
the President of the St. Mary Park
Association, stating that there
will be held a meeting of the
stockholders of the Association at
the Office of Mr.. John G. Lewis, in
the Auditorium building, in the
town OF Franklin, at s o'clock p.
M, Oh Wednesday, September
23rd. This meeting is called for
the purpose of increasing the cap
ital stock of the corporation from
$4,000 to $4,000. At a recent
meeting of the Board of Directors
this move was deemed necessary
for the success of the Park. 1t is
absolutely necessary that there be
built on the grounds such stable
Accommodations as owners and
trainers of horses may require,
and the only way to meet this
in our opinion, is to
increase the stock, as at present
there is no available fund on
hand to make the improvements
necessary to insure the success
of the Park. We hope to see
at the meeting a large atten-
dance and feel that the majority
of the stockholders will readily
see the necessity of this move on
the part OF the Board of Directors
of the Association.

Don't invest your hard earned
dollars in the fake mining compa-

with their literature. When
enormous dividends are to be
made you will find the financial
kings dabbling in that sort of
thing themselves. The fakir al
ways preys upon the credulity of
the man with the few hundreds,
and in most cases succeeds in
getting his money without giving
anything in return but a little
worthless paper.

Mr.. John B. Roberts resigned
this week as Superintendent of
Public Education and City Attor-
ney of Franklin. Mr.. Roberts has
formed a partnership with his
brother, Mr.. w. G. Roberts, of
Alexandria, where he will leave
in few days to practice his pro-
fession. We are sorry to lose our
young friend, as his work during
his short time as Superintendent
was splendid, and was calculated
to build up one of the best school
systems in the State. The many
friends Of Mr.. Roberts will regret
to learn that he is going to leave
us, but feel that he will succeed
wherever he goes.

SLIGHT TROUBLE
Experienced Here on Account of
Pilot Demands.
Boats Are All Running Regularly,
However, Out Of Paducah.

The trouble from the demand of pi-
lots for increased wages has not yet
accustomed any serious Inconvenience
to local boats.
The steamer Clyde's pilots left the
boat yesterday at this port on the re-
fusal of the Tennessee River Packet
company to grant them ei2b per
month, but other pilots were secured
to take the boat out and she left with
double crew. two captains, two pilots
and two first mates. The pilots on the
steamer Memphis left the boat at st.
Louis . few days ago ON the same
grounds and the boat was brought up
by the captain. Pilots were taken on
here and the trip will be finished with
out any trouble.
Captain James Roger, superinten.
dent Of the packet company, stated
this morning relati We to the matter.
I'VE are paying better wages than any
other company running on this river.
We pay 800 per month to the st. Lou
is and Tennessee river men and 800 to
the Paducah and Tennessee river men.
This is better pay than any other pi-
lots get'and when they demanded $t25,
We refused.
A tie company with general Office
here, is now paying the association
wages because, the manager stated, the
pilots took advantage Of him. This
is the only company. with Office here,
paying the wages.

EXPORT FIGURES
 FOR LAST MONTH
The Foreign Commerce of This Coun
 try Fighting Itself.

Washington, February 24.-The eX-
 port figures furnished by the treasury
 bureau of statistics continue to indicate
 that the foreign commerce of the Unit
 ed States is resuming it's normal con- d1t1ons. The January exports were
 larger than those of any preceding Jan
 uary Tn the history of our commerce except those of the year 1901, in which
 the January figures were about S2,000, 900 above those of last month. The total
 value of exports in January. 1903, was S134, ,040952, against s136, ,325 G01 in Janu- ary, 1901, $1OS, 6.674 in January, 1898,
 and $67, ,673,669 in January, 1893. Thus double those of January, 1893.
 Turning to the import side, last months figures show the largest Janu- ary imports in the history of our com
 merce. The total imports in the month of January, 1903 were SS5, S91, against $79, ,139, 192 in January of last year, and $75,1 ,267 in January. 1S93 For the 12
 months ending with January, 1903, the total imports approximate the billion
 dollar line, being s915, ,2S3,637, against !, S742, ,06S,925 for the 12 months ending with January, 1898. This increase in 1 importations is chiefly due to the con- l tinuing demand of the manufacturing ! interests for raw material from abroad
 for use in their industries. In the cal
 endar year 1902 the manufacturers ma 1 terials imported amounted to 453 mil i lion dollars, against 391 millions in the preceding year and PAS millions in the 1 calendar year 1896. Manufactures ready ] for consumption also show materlal l increase, being in the calendar year ! 1902, s164. .7SS 22S, against S1SS, ,757,S25 In 1 1901, and S120, ,43S, ,965 in 1896.
 | The following table shows the total 1 imports and exports of the United l States in each of the twelve months
 ending with January, 1903, and indi- i cates the unusual fluctuation in the eX- ports during the last year due to the | crop shortage, and the steady increase l during the year in importations:
