THE GIRLS STATE COLLEGE.
A thousand Applicants for One
Hundred and Fifty Places.

Rock Hill, Sept. 21.-The first reg
ular appointment for Winthrop Col.
iege was met by the assembling of all
pupils and teachers in the auditorium
at noon today. President johnson is
absent. He had taken his vacation
during the month of August, and has
been detained by a temporary indis.
position which prevented him from
leaving Atlantic City at the time ex-
pected. He has appointed Dr.. j. z.
Kinard. the head of the department
OF English, to act in his stead.
The number applying for admission
to Winthrop is greater than that OF
any previous session. The number OF
new pupils, which could he admitted,
was about $50, but the number of ap-
plicants is over LOCO. Nearly all the
pupils who have been admitted were
present this morning.
Miss Minnie Macfeat, the head OF
the kindergarten department, is alb
sent on account of sickness. All the
other teachers are present. Examina-
tions for pupils~who Wish to enter,
and for pupils who desire in this way
to make up the work of last term, are
now in progress. These will end and
regular work will begin not later than
next Tuesday.
The proportion of old students who
have returned is very large. Every
sign points to prosperous year.

The Cost of Office.

It was not squeamish, to put it
gently, in President Roosevelt to put
his corporation investigator in the job
of raising money for election purposes
from the corporations Squea,nish-
ness, however, is not the Presidents
long suit. The appointment Of Mr..
Cortelyou to this position haG one
advantage which deserves respect
apart from the probability that the
money is being used with less cheerful
disregard Of moral rules than char
aeterized Mr.. Cortelyou's predecessor
By having in the position a conf
dential acquaintnce, Mr.. Roosevelt
will knew just what he is committed
to as the price of Office. For over
three years noW he has been held up
on every hand by people who claimed
to hold promises from Presidens Mc
Kinley. "When You said you would
carry out McKinley's policies, it i'm
piled, of course, that yon would also
make McKinley's promised appoint
ments," they have argued. The Pre-.
sident has reaped much advantage
from Mr.. McKinley's ability to dis.
cover able men, but he has, on the
other hand, suffered frequently the
supposed necessity of making appoint
ments that were distasteful to him.
He may not be able to judge mem
talents as shrewdly es his predecessor.
but Cor what he doe after the 4th OF
next March he alone. will be respon,i-
BILE, and this responsibility of freedom
ought to result in a lessened influence
for the professional politicians Mr..
Cortelyou's conduct of the campaign
should have the Same result. If any
promises are made in return for funds,
they will be oaiy these to which the
President consents, and he will know
precisely what they are are,-Collier's for

THE HUNTSVILLE INQUIRY,
II Appears to be Developing Into
an Investigation of the Whole
National Guard of Alabama.

Huntsville, Ala, Sept. 2l.-The
military Court of Inquiry resumed its
examination of witnesses today rela-
i've to the conduct of officers and men
of Company T. in connection with
the lynching of Horace Naples, col
ored. Lieut.. Morgan Smith was the
only witness and his testimony substan-
tiated that of former witnesses.
Col. Frazer, president of the Court,
stated that the purpose of the inquiry
was to ascertain if there IS incompeten-
cy among the officers of this company !;
to discover who are the incompetents,
and ascertain who is responsible for
their continuing to hold commissions
in the National Guard. He declar-
ed the Investigation may go even be-
yond this company.
At the afternoon session Of the
Court Jailer Giles testified that sew
eral of tie men Of Company F. were
so badly frightened that they were
worse than useless in the defence OF
the Jail. Some of the men, he claimed,
took refuge under beds and in closets
of the building, when the mob was be-
sieging the jail. Sheriff Rogers testi-
fed that he gave orders to the compa,
ny to take care of the Jail and guard
the prisoner. He did not order the
men upstairs, he claims, but gave the
command for them to assemble inside
the building. Practically every man
in the company testified that they con-
sidered themselves under the orders OF
the sheriff. The court finished tax.
ing testimony this afternoon, and will
make report to the Governor at an
early date.

The Great Gotten King.

Secretary Hester, of the New Orleans
cotton exchange, has reviewed the
cotton crop, and his fngres and facts
are most interesting. He shows that
the commercial crop for 1904 was
slightly in excess CT ten million bales.
This is the lowest since 1999-19O0, yet
this has been the rnostss valuable crop
ever raised in the South.ss Though it
was 200, 600 bales lower than the pre-
ceding season, it was worth Sl37, 600,
600. Though it was 670, 600 bales less
than the crop of 1901-02 it was worth
$50. 600, 900 more. Though it was l,
2S3, 600 bales lesg than the bumper
crop of ls9S-99, it was worth s335, O00,-
600 more. A difference Of million
and a quarter bales made the small
crop worth more than twice as much
as the big crop.
He estimates that the average value
of cotton per bale, for 1903-Q4 was SOL
IS, and this would give total valua-
tion of s617, sol, 58 for the crop. This
by no means represents the actual
value of cotton production for the
year. There is half ton of seed to
every bale of cotton and this would
make over 5, 900, 600 tons for the entire
crop. Every ton of seed will produce
3e gallons of oil valued at S10.S0. $50
pounds of meal valued at $3.50, 30
pounds of linters worth S1.50, and
75O pounds of bulls worth Slip, max
ing a total of S20.92. The value OF
these by-products for the. season just
closed is tn srefore about $lO3, O60, 0OO,
which, added to the value of cotton,
would make about s722, 0o0,00o.
Of this sum the transportation COM
panies got about 800, 600, 600.
To the American mills the planters
sold 3,94e, PIG bales; Of this 2,026, 967
went to Northern mills and 1919, 252
to Southern mills. So that the South
is rapidly gaining on the North, in
this respect. as to manufacture.
Think of tne great army of men
making and handling this one South
ern crop and its by-products. Think
of the enormous value cf this one crop,
and its importance to the whole world :
After that experience of last season,
we do no wonder that European ma
tions are frantically or adventurously
searching everywhere in Asia and At
RIGA to find cotton region to rid them
of dependence upon the South.
They may ultimately do so, but it is
doubtful. For many years they will
fail and, we think, always.
The South holds the primacy and is
apt to keep it.A great future is be-
fore her and we surmise that at no
distant period, New England will
wish that she had not pushed race IS
sues to such extremities as war, since
one of the results will be largely her
own undoing.-Augusta Chronicle.

Trade Waves.

According to the New York SUM-,
ssovr share In tlle trade Of foreign ma
tions is susceptible of illustration
Nv series Of wave lines whose force
Iessens as the distance from our borders
Increases. The rule holds good with
only few comparatively insignlhcant
yrsiations. On our north line lies
Canada, to Mfsom we sell 90 per cent.
of all her imports. Northeastward. New
fonndland comes to as for abeut 81 per
cent of her needs. Southward. our i'm
mediate neiehber is Mexico. She OBJ
sains from our market nearly 60 per
cent. of her importations. Southeast
ward are Cuba, buying nearly 40 per
cent. Hayti, taking similar per cent
age: SantoD Domingo, aking 50 per cent
and the British, West Indies, coming
for about one-third Of their imports.
In sne next trade wave TO the south
ward there lie the states nf Central
America. giving Us collectively about
s27 per cent. of their trade. Colombia
and Venezuela give Us each about one
third of the business. Following
down the west coast, the fuie holds
good with Ecuador at 20 per cent. !;
Peru, Il per cent, and Chill, 8 per
cent. Along the eastern coast Brazil
gives ms q per ceHt. the Argentine,
if, ner cent, and Uruguay, s per
cent: while the interior coun-
tries are representa- by Bolivia's l1a
per cent. aud Paraguay's two-thirds
.6f per cent. Looking eastward.
Enplano gives US 20 per cent. OF
her trade: Germany, 13 per cent. !:
Belgium, 10 per cent Spain. per

cent. and Russia, 2 per cent. West
ward, Japan gives rs l6 per cent. )
China, Il per cent, the Philippines.
u per cent: Australasia. about ~
per cent, and British India, about z
per cent. The regularity OF all this IS
more than a curious coincidence, 1t
is probable that it is correct lndica-
t,on of American trade conditions.
We are not yet trade hunters in an
active and energetic way, and pro2-
unity to these markets appears TO oe
strong factor in the trade which comes
to- ms almost without solicitation.
Facility of transportation is evidently
likewise factor. The situation is at
least suggestive of large trade oppor-
fuuities by little extension OF COM
merciaI activity which would increase
the force and volume of these wave

ST. PETERSBURG Review of Situation.

ST. Petersburg, Sept. 22.-There is
further delay in the receipt OF decisive
news from the front. The situation at
Port Arthur remains a blank, though
it is felt that important developments
may be even now occurring there.
The movements in the north are still
of a tentative and preparatory charac-
ter on both sides, which have not yet
crystalized into definite clash OF
forces at any one point. A resumption
of the japanese advance is now expect
ed to occur any day. It is the third
week since the fighting at Liao Yang,
and the Japanese have had time to
transport reinforcements from Yinkow
and bring up sufficient men to the
front to replace their losses, but it is
not improbable that several days will
intervene before the armies come to
close quarters. The interval is being
devoted OF both sides to feeling out
the strength and disposition of the op-
posing forces.
The japanese will probably attempt
to capture the passes of the Da Noun
tain range, running half way between
the Hun and Taitse Rivers. The pos
session of these passes is important
for the japanese, as it will not only
enable them to march northward, but
also screen the movements of their
troops from the prying gaze OF Rus
sian scouts.
It is fully appreciated here that the
japanese must try for the possession OF
Mukden, as otherwise it will be diff
cult for them to provide their army
with winter quarters. Liao Yang does
not afford sufficient accommodation
although many houses there escaped
destruction in the recent battle.
Movable huts are quite unsuitable
for the housing of .Iapanee, owing to
the severity of the climate. The aver
age winter temperature there is forty
degrees below zero. and the cold is
intensified by continual winds and az
almost entire absence of snow. IL
spite of this, however, the campaign
| will probably continue during the win.
ter if the Japanese succeed in getting
into Mukden. In this contingency,
Gen. Kuropatkin, for various reasons,
| will not be likely to allow the Japa
nese to remain in undisturbed posses
sion of this point, which is important
not only from a strategic but the poll
tical point of view.
