Philippinss Sugar.

Whatever may be the fate of the Philippines tariff bill, it's progress will be watched with an interest in this immediate locality. which would not have been felt a year or two ago. Thus is proved in part a doctrine enunciat- ed by General Hancock a quarter of 9 century ago-the tariff is a local (and he might have added a changing is- sue
 It is proposed in the bill, among oth- CT things, to remove the duty altogeth- CT on sugar and tobacco brought from the islands into the United States. The Dingley rate on other products of the Philippines is to be reduced to twenty five per cent of the present tariff The bill was drawn upon the recommenda- tion of Secretary Taft, who says in his report: 'It will result solely in benefit to the people of the Philippine Islands without the slightest injury to anyone in the United States" The Secretary adds that he does not think the bill will produce, though it will greatly aid, prosperity in the islands. Its greatest effect, he believes, will be it's moral effect upon the Philippine people.
 So far no determined opposition has arisen to the proposed reduction of the Dingley rates for three years and then their abolition, though no doubt that will be heard from later in the debate. Sugar and tobacco are the two products of the island which would come into competition with industries in this country. and it is concerning the extent of the insular production that an important question of fact has arisen. Following Secretary Taft, the advocates of the bill say that there is neither sugar nor tobacco enough rais- ed in the Philippines to perceptibly af-

The ISie Of Pines,

The Isle of Pines matter which was humorously treated last summer when the American citizens of the island petitioned for it's annexation to the United States, is likely, according to the dispatches of this morning to prove a more serious affair, possibly ending in the defeat of the treaty for the formal cession of the island to Cuba.
 The American islanders have put their case before the senate in opposi- tion to the argument of Secretary Root. They take the ground that by the Treaty of Paris the island became a part of the United States and could not therefore under the constitution be ceded by treaty. Ii not, part of the United States it is contended on the other hand this country could not cede it. It is the theory however of MT. Root that the actual cessiOn took place when Cuba was surrendered since the Isle of Pines had been recognized by Spain as a part of the division of Cuba.
 The Americans in the Island putting these questions aside are relying upon the good faith of the government in carrying out the promises made by its representative. General Wood, while military governor of Cuba, is quoted as having assured a committee of Americans, That they need have ho fear of the future of the Isle of Pines" There is also quoted com munication from Assistant Adjutant General John J. Pershing of the war department Aug. 14, 1899, in reply to an inquiry regarding the status of the island: Replying to your communi- cation of Aug. 10th instant soliciting information respecting the Isle of Pines, I am directed by the assistant secretary of war, to advise you that this island was ceded by Spain to the United States and is therefore a part Of our territory, although it is attached at present to the division of Cuba, for governmental purposes. A copy of the Isle of Pines pamphlet is enclosed for your information and you are advised that the disposition of public lands must await the action of congress-"

The present Week has been a ban ner one for the local cotton market. for the recelpts have been heavier than for years past. Thursday $ re- ceipts numbered .33 bales. On "Wednesday, S33 were received. Last Tuesday. the livelicst day the local market has known. it is said, in three or four years. the receipts We're l 1,210 bales. The total receipts since September l amounted to 34.- 166 bales up to and including Thursday.
 Traffic along che streets in ail chose portions of the city where cot ton is unloaded has been congested to such an extent for the past three days that it has been almost impos- sible 10 carry on business along the streets. and it was even difficult at times for the pedestrian to make his way through the maze of wagons and cotton bales that beStrewed his way.
 So great became this congestion of traffic Friday that policemen were detailed for the especial duty of keeping the streets in passable condition. The greatest difficulty of this kind was experienced on Chest nut street, the cotton street Of the city. where on several occasions a completo blockade occurred. Two uniformed officers were kept busy most of tho morning Friday in pre- venting a recurrence of this condi- ton.
 The best feature of the matter is that the cotton is all bringing fancy prices nowadays TWentv-eent cot ton has become of such common oc- c1lrreneo that it is no longer com mentaa unon when bale brings this price. Just any old cotton see.2S to he in demand at prices un equalled in years.

 In this connection, a special meet ing of the board of trade directorate has been called for Saturday after noon at o'clock, to take action up- on the alleged congestion in railway traffic and in the congresses here.

INLET TOMORROW
MOTHER EFFORT WILL BE MADE TO ORGANIZE JEFFERSON
 COTTON GROWERS.
District Agent (. T. Robinson Urges Everyone To Attend the Meeting
 at Court House.

District Agent C. T. Robinson Of the Southern Cotton association urges everyone to attend the meeting to be held at the courthouse tomorrow for the purpose of effecting an organiza lion of the cotton growers. In a com munication to the Graphic Mr. Robin son says:
 Don't forget to attend the meeting in the county court room tomorrow morning at II o'clock for the purpose of organizing a county branch of the Southern Cotton association. This association has, by it's efforts to keep LID the price of cotton. saved to the people of the south in the past two years, two hundred millions dollars. Read what President Clark Of the Mississippi division has to say Of crop conditions:
 Clarksdale, Miss. Nov. 222. 1906. ]. To the Public:
 The amount of cotton Sinned, as shown by the census report, i'll my opinion, is extremely bullish, and pre- cludes every idea of a bumper yield. Almost all of the big cotton men, and the entire gambling element of the south have been against the market, and have made every effort to force the price below 9 cents. These ef- forts have been systematic and con- centrated, and yet the spot demand has time and again put these stories to flight.
 One cent per pound on the cotton crop of Mississippi means $7,000,000 10 the state, and every interest in the state should do everything possible to secure for our staple crop it's fullest value: and remember that, according to the census reports, G. per cent of our crop is paid for with foreign gold. The percentage of the crop of
 1903 ginned on Nov. II was. =. .S9. I The percentage of the crop of
 1904 ginned on Nov. II was -. 72S The percentage of the crop of
 1905 ginned on Nov. Ii was. .71.3
 Take the average for the three years, and we have ,1.1G. Apply th. to S,o3 .4S6, the amount now shown and you will have an indicated yield of 11,364,525. Apply this report in detail to the various states, with the three years average percentage gin- ned on Nov. If, and we have the fol- lowing indicated figures for the cot ton producing states:

TIL Minister'S Tartan.

Every clan of Scottish highlanders
had its own tartan, or striped colored
cloth, of which the kilt and plaid were
made. 1t is not so well known. how
ever, that the clergy of the highland
ers down toa recent date used a tartan
for their weekday dress. The tartan
of the clergy. as ii was called, was a
sober cloth of white, black and gray
stripes. Ministers who did not care to
don the Kilt almost always wore the
plaid or mantle of this material & In
the eighteenth century when the high
landers seldom went unarmea it was
the custom of some clergyInen to wear
swords even7a church and to be sac.
,companied by a gillie, or servant. ear
rying a bow and sheath of arrows.
