What Is the Matter?

The Galveston News draws atten.
tion to the fact that Galveston is now
the leading cotton port Of the world,
having last season taken first place
from New Orleans with receipts OF
2,4os,O32 against 2,ooo,357 for the
Crescent City. Following in third
place comes Savannah, with l,16S,19l
bales, which will doubtless be improv-
ed on this season. Norfolk comes
next with 49, ,642 bales, then Will
mington with 321, 324, Mobile with
2Ol,676, Charleston with 14I,S52,
Pensacola with l2l 1858 and Bruins
wick with 90, 1856. What is the mat
ter with Charleston According to
the above figures she is very much in
the back ground in the matter Of
handling cotton. Savannah handles
over one million more bales Of cotton
per year than she does: Even Will
mington doubles her. There must be
something radically wrong somewhere,
and the business men Of Charleston
should fnd out what it is and remedy
it. We would all like to see the good
old city of Charleston take the place
commercially that her wealth and
geographical position entities her to.
Let her awake, put on new life and
enter the lists against Savannah and
all other comerS with determination
to win, and she will do it.
