THE ocean record has been smashed
again. At least that is what was ex-
pected on the arrival of the Lusitania
which, according to calculations, was
due in New York at about 1.30 O'Clock
this morning. The Lusitania is the
latest of the big ocean greyhounds,
just completed for the Cunard line
and which started on her maiden trip
from Queenstown last Monday. If she
came in on time as indicated by the
wireless messages received from her
yesterday, while only a few hundred
miles out, she reduced the time be-
tween Queenstown and Sandy Hook to
four days and eighteen hours, reduc-
ing the previous record by eighteen
hours. The best previous Atlantic
record has been held for a number OF
years by the Germans, 1t having been
made by the Hamburg-American
steamer Deutchland. The Lusitania Is
a British ship constructed somewhat
along new lines and embodies the first
attempt to use turbine engines in
ship anything like so large. To these
turbine engines are credited the in
creased speed. Since the breaking OF
the record by the Deutchland, the
Germans have held supremacy in the
passenger carrying traffic across the
Atlantic. and the special mission OF
the Lusitania was to wrest this su-
premacy from them and give 1t back
to the English. The report is that the
Germans have already commenced ar
rangements for the construction Of q
new leviathan Of the deep that viii
be able to reduce the time made by
the Lusitania.

The increasing price Of farm lands
generally is a subject of very great in

THE recent riot at Bellingham,
Wash, in which subjects Of England
were attacked by Americans and the
riots at Vancouver, B. c., in which
Japanese and Chinese were attacked by
British subjects, has brought about a
rather peculiar situation and admins
tration officials at Washington are
rather pleased than otherwise. 1t will
be remembered that some months ago
attacks were made on Japanese sub
jects at San Francisco by Americans
and this has been followed by a great
deal Of diplomatic correspondence be-
tween Japan and the United States.
But now that Japanese have been at
tackled on British soil 1t is a question
as to whether Japan will make indem-
nifty demands from England in view
Of the fact that the British govern
ment Is Japan's only ally. If Japan
doesn't demand reparation from Eng
land for damage done to her subjects
at Vancouver, it will put the Suntlow-
er empire in rather an awkward posi-
ton If she continues to make demands
of the United States for any indigni-
ties, real or imaginary, put on her
subjects in California. Again. If Eng
land sees fit to demand reparation
from the United States for injuries
sustained by her Hindu children al
Bellingham, Wash, 1t will be conced-
ing in advance any demand Japan may
make for the Vancouver outrages, for
the two cases are precisely similar
both being a protest against the cheap
labor of the far east. 1t Is believed
in Washington that the two affairs will
make it all the easier for this govern
ment and Japan to agree on a very
stringent exclusion treaty between the
two nations.

THE representatives of the state of
North Carolina made a centre shot
when they secured ruling that per-
mits the examination of the Southern
railroads books. There is the place to
get conclusive evidence as to whether
the company is making or losing mon
ey and as to whether it's profits are In
reason. That the attorneys of the
company should resist this investiga-
ton into the books was to be expect
ed, and it is to be expected also that
there will be still more trouble before
the state Of North Carolina gets all
the information it wants; but still
there can be no reasonable objection
to the examination Of those books.
The state authorities have a right to
know exactly what a corporation of
the states creation is doing, and II
there has been any Misrepresentation
OF any kind the railroad company de-
serves to be exposed. The public is
entitled to the bare, naked truth.

industrial prosperity is reflected in a
report made to the comptroller Of the
currency from the banks in the state
doing a national banking business.
They show that the aggregate amount
Of their loan and discount business
was $15.4S1, ,250.27; that their capital
stock paid in amounts to $3,4S5.OOO,
and that the individual deposits
amount to $11,OS2,S75.29. This last
item in itself Is significant and shows
that the people of the state have
money to put in the banks and that
they are using their home institutions.
II is expected that the report OF the
Charleston banks will be received to-
morrow showing business done by
them up To the present time. FROM
all parts of the country these reports
indicate most healthy condition OF
the money market and that the peo-
pie are enjoying general prosperity.

WEALTH FOR THE SOUTH.
Richard p. Edmonds Reviews Some
Interesting Figures.

Commenting on an interview pub
lished in New York with E. II. Harri-
man, in which he refers to the pros
perity of the south and southwest on
account of the cotton crop. Richard r.
Edmonds, editor of the Manufacture
ers' Record, on yesterday gave out an
interview in which he said:
Mr.. Harriman's optimism in regard
to the effect of the wonderful expan-
sion of the agricultural interests OF
the south is justified, but he Is far
short of the reality in his statements,
as to the value of the cotton crop. He
credits Texas with a production of cot
ton of 100000 bales, worth. he says,
about $45 a bale, whereas cotton Is
selling at over $50 a bale. and, If to
this be added the value Of the cotton
seed, we would have a total of at least
$40 a bale, or just $100,0O0,OOO more
for the cotton crop Of Texas than Is
estimated by Mr.. Hartman. Mr.. Har-
riman also says:
Think what that crop alone means
to the country. A $600,000,000 cotton
crop means prosperity for the SOUTH
1T is not s600.000,00O, but more
nearly a s90O,000,OO0 crop. which the
south is now getting ready to pick.
Last years cotton crop brought to the
south about $S0O,000.000 or more, by
far the largest amount which that sec
ton ever received in one year for cot
ton and cotton seed.
But with cotton now bringing two
cents or three cents a pound more
than at the same time last year. 1t is
safe to estimate that the crop. which
is now beginning to move. will bring
to the south from sS5O,O00,O00 to $780,
100000. 1t is difficult to exaggerate
the tremendous Importance of such an
inflow of money. Europe will pay to
this section during the next twelve
months between $500. 100000 and $780,
400. 900 for cotton or not far from 81
10000 for every working day of the
wear"
