INCREASING GOLD SUPPLY.
From Year to Year the Output Keeps
on Growing Greater and
Greater.

The rapidly increasing supply Of gold
In the world has attracted widespread
attention, not only from the nnancicrs
of the country, and from business men
generally, but it has also furnished
the text for numerous addresses and
magazine articles. Some Of the essen
ttal facts in the matter, says Mines and
Minerals, are the following.
The worlds gold production in
creased more or less steadily up to the
year 1890. when it reached approxl-
mately $l20. 900, 900. From that time
ON the increase was more rapid. year
by year. until in 1896 the production
crossed the S2o0,o O0. 600 mark, an aver
age yearly increase OF nearly Slt.U0O.-
GOO. From 1896 to 1906. therefore.
there has been an average yearly In
crease of approximately 10000. 900.
For 1905 the output OF gold is estimat-
ed at 1915, 00O, 0oo, while for 1906 the
$500 600, 600 mark will probably be
reached.
The worlds stock of gold available
for currency has Increased from nearly
$4,000 0o, 900 in 1898 to over S6,0O0,-
100000 in 1905, and at present is in
creasing at the rate of oyer n million
dollars a day, A review of the gold
mining industry leads 10 the belief
that this yearly output of $iOO, 00O, 900
will be at least maintained for some
years to come. il 1t IS not still further
increased.

Cotton May Go to IL Cents.

Mr.. s. B. Tanner, who is one of
the best posted cotton mill men in
this section, in an interview with a
News reporter this morning, took a
very optimistic view from the farm
er's standpoint, Of the outlook for
higher price for cotton.
Mr.. Tanner is one of those manu-
facturers who believe that better
prices will not hurt the mills, but
on the opposite will be of benefit to
both mills and farmers in the long
run. The results may not be appa-
rent at first, but in the final round
up, he thinks that the higher the
cotton is to certain limit the bet
ter the results for all parties.
Mr.. Tanner has held this all along,
and has no disposition to change his
position, either.
Mr.. Tanner, In speaking Of the
present outlook, says that there is
no way to forecast to what cotton
figures may eventually go before the
season is over. It may go to IL
cents and stop and it may go even
to IA ceuts, as some are predicting.
Mr.. Tanner also believes in the
cooperation of the farmer and man.

that the interests of the two classes

The election is near at hand. If
you are not properly registered the
fault is not ours, for we have warned
you and admonished you. If you
are denied participation in the pro-
cess of laW.making and laW-admin-
istering you have only yourself to
blame, unless by the vicious schem
ing of some dishonest registrar you
have been left off the books contrary
to law and justice. This is doubtless
true in some, and we fear in many
cases; for it is hard to teach men
honesty and fairness who have had
years of training in the school of
political chlcanery-WhO have actu-
ally been taught that stealing tor
the Simmons machine is commend
able and meritU1lous. To those who
are registered and eligible to vote
we would say in all seriousness and
earnestness go to the polls and vote
your honest convictions. It is your
duty as a citizen of the grandest,
the freest, the proudest, the most
glorious country upon which the
sun shines. You may not vote as
We shall vote. We have no quarrel
with you for that, but we say vote.

Opment. If you are wrong now you
may get right eventually by exer.
cising this heritage of the free, but
never by apathy and neglect. Re-
member the parable of talents and
do not bury yours lest it be taken
from you. Again we say vote and
show your manhood. There is much
at stake. The destiny of this repub-
lie rests upon the shoulders of her
citizens, of whom you are one, and
your vote will count as much as
Rockefeller's or Vanderbilt's. You
may feel yourself an humble citi-
zen. That is no crime, but you are
as big man at the polls as walks
upon the earth if only you come out
and do your duty. You have no
right to remain away from the polls
unless kept away by sickness or
other providential interposition.
