Cotton has certainly been com. ing in some this month. We nev. CT saw so much cotton arrive in so short a time before. Labor is no more plentiful than heretofore, but we are informed that the cotton piekers are working harder and steadier, and that that accounts for the rush of the feeey staple to the gins. Of course the unexception- ally fine season for gathering is also factor. A friend of the wri. ter, who is kkeeper for one of the large general stores Tn town, told ns Wednesday that up to this time last year they had only re, ceived 457 bales of cotton, whereas at the present time they have re. ceived 1205, an increase of little over 250 per cent. Very little of this cotton has sold for less than ten cents, or very near it. The fields are about "ruined," however, and there will be little or no cotton in the patch early in Decem Der.

Mir. J. R. Walker, proprietor of the swell new Cafe in the Long block, informs us that he will seek greener fields. The patronage &C., corded him has not been equal 10 his expectations, nor anything like his pleasant place and laudable en- terprise deserves. He is a very pleasant gentleman, a good busi. ness man, keeps frst,class place, and if encouraged would be ldenti- fed with the public enterprises of thls town. It IS centainly unfor- tunate that a hustling man of his character and push should have to leave town for lack of appreciation and patronage, and it is also lit- tie peculiar that the cheap Johns, Turks and others of that class have never yet failed tomake 8 good big stake Tn this town. There is something in these few lines to !hlpk about.

Investigation by Northwest lumb Der men shows conclusively that in future years the forests of Alaska will yield a supply of fine lumber, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat The matter has been investigated, with view of ascertaining where the country's lum- Der supply will come from when the Pacific Northwest becomes closely cut like the forests of the Lake Superior country. Experts report that in no country on earth can numbering be carried on more easily than in Alaska. This is because Alaskan forests, for the most part, are on islands, and the main. land close to the water. More import ant than this is the quality of the lum- Der. Alaska cedar is especially valua- ble and would bring S75 per thousand now if it could be manufactured and shipped. A government embargo pre- vents the shipment of timber from Al aska. Alaska cedar is capable of high finish, especially when cut with:Ia slashed grain. It is light, fine grained and has a soft, silky touch, comparable to cherry and mahogany. Fine spruce is also found in Alaska. The trees there are not of as large size as on Puget Sound, but lumbermen are san- guine that great timber industry will some time exist among the fiords of southeastern Alaska.

IMPORTANCE OF ALASKA.

The governments annual statement of commerce with the dependencies, as they are sometimes called, shows that the trade with Alaska, during the fiscal year ending June 30, last, which is at hand, amounted to S26,383, ,639. This breaks all records for Alaska by little more than S2,OOO,0O0, while there was decrease in the trade of Hawaii, and slight falling off in the commerce of Porta Rica. The Philippine trade has increased s1, ,5OO,00O, and that of AL aska over eight per cent. The total commerce with Alaska, Hawaii, Porto Rico, the Philippines, Midway Island, Guam and Tutuila, amounted the last fiscal year to S1O2,379,443. It may be observed that the Alaska commerce was more than one quarter of the trade with all the outside possessions of the Uuited States, although there is no comparison between Alaska and some of the other territories with respect to population.
 The principal item of the Alaska trade is salmon, in Hawaii sugar and in the Philippines hemp. The gold out put for Alaska during the last fiscal year was .s7, ,352,O28, as against S4,754,- 57S the year before. The total ship ments of domestic merchandise from the United States to Alaska, uot includ ing the gold or silver amounted to S., 69,072, and the shipments from Alas ka, not including the precious metals amounted to s1O,1OO,220. Nearly all are the products of the shipping industry, and particularly the salmon canning business, which has amounted to as much as $9,OOO,OOO.

Minneapolis, Nov. 20.-The appor-

A small per cent of these are not
naturalized and some are disfran-

total Of 2,326, 496 males of voting
age, but the total vote cast for con-
gresham in these seven states In
1902 was but 264 $40, or but ia per

ed were 1,O51 1862 males Of voting age
who were of negro descent and in

1t is we'll known fact that there

ing that the illiterates were all
among the colored people, there still
remains 319,69l negroes who would
be entitled to vote even if an edu-

The Maryland Platform.
The existing condition is plainly
set forth in the platform by the
Democratic state convention of
Maryland in 1903, VIZ:
"We believe that the political DIES
TIMES of Maryland should be shaped
and controlled by the white people
of the state, and while we disclaim
any purpose to do any injustice what
ever to our colored population, we
declare without reserve our resolu
tie purpose to preserve in every con-
sentative and constitutional way the
political aseendency of our race"
The solution of the difficulty is
strongly set forth in the platform
adopted by the Republican conven-
ton in Ohio in 1908, viz:
eve hold fast to the doctrine of
equity everywhere in the exercise of
the elective franchise, maintaining
that justice requires any state ex-
