u,ycHrRIA OPEN AT LAST.

Disnatches from St Petersburg, To- kio and Pekin show that both Rus sians and Japanese have completed the evacuation of Manchuria within the time limit fixed by the treaty ef Portsmouth and that this vast prov ince is again under China s full con rol, tho lately warning nations retain ing only limited number Of railway guards. It is the intention of the Pekin government to maintain in inc restored territory such force of dis cinlined Chinese troops as will suffice to preserve internal peace and aVold giving any preteXt for foreign inter- vention. The open door in Manchuria, a c0nsummation long devoutly wished in the interest of the worlds trade and realized only through a great war, is at last an accomplished fact.
 If Japan, which controls the south ern half of the long trans-Manrhurla railway from Dalny to Hafbln, and Russia, which controls the northern half will but handle traffic without discrimination on account Of nation aIity, no further Manchurian problem of any seriousness is likely to arise for years. That unequal treatment oi shippers is extremely difficult to pre- vent where motives for it exist, Amer jeans can testify only too well, bnt inasmuch as both countries give the most earnest assurances of fair play they should be credited with good faith until if ever, definite reason D believe the contrary develops. The vast bulk of Manehurian imports must of course, come by the Pacific water route, and it will consequently be Japan upon whom responsibility in this regard will chiefly fall.
 The opening of Manchuria is good news for the worlds export trade as whole but for no portion of it more than the cotton industry of the Sout1- ern States.

 Tn a statement signed by Booker T. Washington and Hollis Frizzle thtey say: That while We cannot speak definitely, We feel quite sure that it will be the extreme of the trustees of this fund to work in hearty sympathy and close cO-opera- ton with the county and state of icers in assisting schools, and it will be the policy of the trustees to use the interest of this fund in a way to stimulate itself help and not replace local schools, but to sup plement the money being approDri- ated by Southern states toward the education of the negro.
 We think We cannot too en- phatically state that not one cent of this money will go to help the Hampton Normal and Industrial In stitute nor the Tnskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, and will in no way relieve the needs of these Institutions. Every cent will go toward helping the rural schools

RITTER BILLS OF LADING.

The prospect of satisfactory form of bill of lading must be grati- fyine 10 bankers and business men generally. Business will be great lv Facilitated throughout the coun- try by changes which the railroads are planning to make in the pro- posed uniform bill which the shippers have been trying for sev- eral years to induce them to issue,
 says news item in The New York Journal of Commerce. If an agree ment can be reached with the shippers the railroads will throw sufficient safeguards around the bill of lading so that the banks throughout the country will accept if without question:. It is the pur- nose of the railroads, in fact, to make bills of lading the safest pos sible medium of exchange, so that the shipper will be in abont the same nosition in a business sense as he would be if he had CertIhed check for the value of his shlp- ment. At present the banks loan money on bills of lading, and mil lions of dollars are in circulation backed by that security, despite the fact that the railroads have in the past tried to make them non ne-
 gotiable. The banks complain that the risk is too great and that the safeenards are not sufficient. It IS further stated that the meeting of 1 the special committee of the Amer ican Bankers Association at Hot
 Springs. Ark, May may be the oc- 1 casion of the railroads and snip
 pers' committees coming together.
 All this is good news for the bnsi-
 ness world at large, but for no DOT
 ton of it more than the bankers
 and cotton men of the South.

BEARS OUT REPORT OF
DAMAGE TO THE CROP
Loss Sustained is Fully 20
Percent.
HEAVY DECREASE IN THE OUTPUT
Mr.. A. T. johnson Thinks the Loss
to Sumter Crop Sustained by
Recent Intensely Hot Wealth
er Is Considerable.
HEAVY DECREASE IN THE OUTPUT

Mr. A. t. Johnson, chairman OF the
board of county commissioners, and
one of the largest planters in Sum-
ter. came up from Leslie yesterday,
and added his opinion to those ex-
pressed by others regarding the con-
ditions of the crop here.
Mr.. Johnson is confident that the
loss sustained by the recent intense
ly hot weather will amount to 20 to
25 per cent. Evidence of the fact is
visible upon every hand.
The crop is fairly good, but not
what it promised in August.
Down in the Fifteenth district, one
of the finest farming sections Of the
county, the cotton has shed its young
bolls to an alarming extent, and
there will be no new growth. Only
the bolls now remaining upon the
stalk will reach maturity.
Mr.. Johnson has recently return
ed from a trip to Florida, and states
that conditions in lower Georgia are
ever worse than in September. In
some sections visited, Mr.. johnson
says, it will take two to three acres
of the poor cotton shown him to make
a bale.
Confronted by such adverse condi
lions, even fifteen cents would seen
cheap for good cotton.
