denAn nave been paid from the earnings.
Mr.. Pagan points TO the fact that each
meo&ine In earning $40 q week as proof Of
his statement that the I per cent. dividends
can sasily be paid and have been since
lsot October. when the first was declared.
A humble seeker for information, who
had his doubts about the dividends being
paid from earnings. asked Mr.. Pagani IL he
would be willing to show by the COM
pany's books what the monthly dividends
the monthly earnings were upon which
the dividends were based and also how
msny machines were in operation during
that period and where they were.
we will gladly tell you all you want TO

chimes, because we think We ave the best
location list obtainable and naturally want
70 keep II to ourselves. Ill tell you where
some OF the machines are and let you see
what they are earning"
Mr.. Pagan then brought out q book
which gave what were said to be the re-
ceipts from the machines in operation.
II was easily seen that while some Of the
machines were earning ti5 for q time after
they were first operated the earnings fell
on gradually until finally tho average
wouldn't have reached $40. The recent
advertisements Of the company have re-
duced the claim OF weekly earnings to $40.
According to the book Of earnings most
Of the machines were placed In saloons,
although a veyy fcs were In Serries aud
railway stations lone Of the weren't

them, either.
1T will be- pleasure to give you the figures

Increase in Cotton Consumption.

Secretary Hester, OF the New Or
leans Cotton Exchange, in his sum
mary Of the cotton situation for the
week ending Friday, May II, reports
the takings by spinners from Sep
tember 1 to date, in round numbers,
at 0,638, 900 bales against 9,4S5, r
900 last year, and 9,744. 900 the
year before.
This shows a gain in consumption
over last year, for ga months of
/, 149, 900 bales, which would mean,
at the same ratio, a gain for the
year Of about 800, 600 bales, which
confirms the contention that the
world will need all the cotton raised
last year to meet its requirements.
1t shows, too, that the consumption
of cotton goods is increasing very
rapidly, and the mills will take all
that can possibly be raised this year,
the late season considered.
The level Of cotton consumption
has been raised within five years
from 10, 500, 900 to 10, 900, 900 bales.
With the awakening that has come
in the far east aed a continuation Of
the prosperity now prevailing, in
very few years, the South must
raise Is, 900, 900 bales Of cotton to
meet the demand, and it would not
be surprising if 10000, 900 bales
were demanded ten years hence,
and the South will be prepared to
to furnish them from the same acre
age that now yields =, 500, 900 bales.
Herein lies the economic security
Of this section. No matter what
happens, the South s great resource
is perennial in its production which
is on an ever increasing scale for the
Of her people. More
spindles are at work to-day than
ever before in the history Of cotton
and despite increases
in wages to operators, shorter hours
IF labor and fair prices for the raw
the mills are all making
This is, at least, assurance
hat the crop of the present year

AS the Interstate Commerce Com

the New York papers that the com
mission look into the charges ON
shipment of bodies from San Fran

Company are quoted to show these
rates from san Francisco to Hong
Kong Corpse Of white person,
$3.50: Chinese dead less than one
year, S55; Chinese dead more than
one year, S35. " Why dead
Chinaman should cost less than a
dead white man to transport, and
a year-old Chinese corpse less than
a recently deceased Chinaman is
mystery that the New York paper
wants explained. 1t may be that
those interested in i'm the transpor-
tation of a white body are willing
to pay over four times as much as
is paid for the Chinaman, but this

desperation by their taunts. he one day
invited his detractors to a dinner.
When they made their appearance they
were simply astonished at the magnifi-

were rendered, and the misery individ-
ual was warmly complimented as well.
