Exnort Manufactures.

The Bureau OF Statistics Of the De-
partment Of Commerce and Labor notes
the increasing volume and value Of our
expectation Of manufactured goods.
For the nine months ended with Sep
tember of this year such wares formed
practically A per cent. OF our total for
eiQn sales. The bureau has adapted a
system OF It's own for classifying our ex-
ports, and IL seems to us that while the
system is Of value for purposes Of COM
p~arison, the statement as submitted does
not fairly present the whole situation.
The dictionary defines manufacture" as
the Operation OF reducing raw materials
Of any hld into a form suitable for
use, by the hands, by art or machinery"
Under this definition it would appear
that not a per cent, but about 50 per
cent. OF our total domestic exports con-
sist Of manufactures.
Certainly il copper ingots, refined oil,
s-usp<ntine and resin are to be regarded
as manufactured products by reason Of
their manipulation and Transformation
sby the hands, by art or machinery
there seems no sound reason why -four
and hams and canned beef and break
fast foods should not be regarded in a
similar light. Labor has been applied
10 them and has changed their original
form and increased their commercial
value just a. it does in the case OF ores
and lumber and Grade oil.
The fact Of special interest, however.

featured wares In their relation to total

When the British closed the southern
door Hedin travelled along tho edge Of
India and Cashmere, about 1850 miles. to
the northwest corner OF Tibet. where there
wore neither British. Russians nor Tibetans

he disappeared again. but we soon heard

pares the battleship strength of the chief
maritime Powers. As regards number,
size and efficiency Of battleships, the
American navy is acknowledged TO have
outstripped that of France and to have
taken a place next to that of Great Brit
available battleships Of the United States
were in commission and ready for sea,
they could oppose t~wenty-one to the
fourteen OF the Channel feet, though Of
course the latter could in case Of necessity
obtain the cooperation Of the British
Atlantic fleet and the home fleet, which
contains the Dreadnought.
II we analyze the relative fighting
strength of the battleship units in the
Channel feet on the one hand and in
our navy on the other, We find that Of
the fourteen vessels comprised in the
former organization eight are Of the
King Edward VII. type. and conse-
quently have a tonnage Of 1880 apiece
and a speed Of nearly 10 knots, while each
vessel carries four II inch, four d. inch
and ten 0 inch guns. The other six YES
sells Of the Channel feet belong TO the
Formidable class, each member Of which
is Of 5000 tons, has a speed Of is knots
AID carries four IL inch and twelve o
inch guns. In 1898, the date of the oldest
Of the Formidables, the United States
built the Kearsarge and Kentucky, Of
1850 tons each, having a speed of 10
knots and carrying four IS inch, four
3 inch and fourteen Q inch guns. The
ships Alabama, Illinois and Wisconsin
are practically identical with those Just
named, so far a tonnage is concerned,
but the armament differs considerably,
because instead OF four 8 inch they carry
fourteen o inch guns. The three ships
Of the Maine class, which are Of q later
date, have a tonnage OF ~. 500, a speed
Of IS knots and for their main armament
four II inch and sixteen 0 inch guns.
Still later came the five ships Of the New
Jersey class, which are each Of I4,94s
tons, have a speed Of 10 knots and carry
four u inch, eight 8 inch and twelve Q
inch gins The Louisiana and Connec-
ticut are Of $4,000 tons and have practi-
cally the same armament as that last
described. The Idaho and Mississippi,
reverting 10 a smaller type, are Of 1900
tons, and carry eight 7 inch guns. The
Kansas, Of 1900 tons, has a speed Of IS
knots and twelve ] inch guns. The
South Carolina, which was laid down in
1905, and her sister, the Michigan, are
to be identical with the Kansas in respect
Of displacement and speed, but their
main armament is to be Of eight II inch
guns. Finally, the two vessels Of the
Delaware class, which had competition
with Britain's Dreadnought in view, are
to be Of 10000 tons apiece and TO carry
ten - inch guns.

used to be considered second only to the
British, Engineering deems IL impossible
to consider the three battleships Of the

tanning a strong article on the connection Of aleep-
ing sickness with the tsetse ny. The arguments Of
the writer may be thus briefly summarized; The
tsetse ny Is admitted to be the carrier Of sleeping
sickness among human beings and OF tsetse sickness
among domestic animals-diseases which cause
terrible mortality among the natives and render
stock raising an absolute lmpossibIity. The only
way 70 combat the evil Is TO lessen the tsetss In
fected areas. and this can only be done by settle
ment, cultivation, the destruction OF the bush
and the driving out or killing Of the big game. As
q matter of commercial policy, as we'll 90 In she
interests OF humanity big game must DO sacrificed.
There is no doubt" continues the writer. that
the opening up and settlement OF this country was
Inevitably tending to the determination OF tho
larger game, but tho natural process has been
arrested by the action Of the administration In
limiting the number of animals allowed 20 be ahot

The article concludes with q vigorous appeal
for a radical change OF tho present policy IN che

Concerning Records a.d Prshisisae

Here is a little symposium that
NAV be of interest to the Political in
ciinea:
The Greensboro Record says:
Maybe Governor Glenn merely wants
Ia put Senator OverTan on record
as to prohibition since he seems to
have his eye more particularly on bal
isbury as the next object OF attack,
instead of Winston.
Salisbury Post: 1t nay be OF Sone
interest to our contemporary to know
that Senator Overman has been on
record on the temperance question
since he first aspired TO ohice some
twenty years ago. In 1882, when ne
was nominated by the democrats Of
I ROWAN county for the legislature.
iprohibition was the all absorbing Is
sue, Senator Overman stumpjng the
county for it and being pitted against
the late Capt. Chas. Price, an intellec-
tual giant. 1t was a battle royal, and
the result was in doubt TO the last,
but the senator was elected by less
than 100 majority. His record Oh this

ent. even when it was not at all as
popular as not to pronounce for pro-
h%ibitiOn.
S~tatesville Landmark: The friends Of
Senator Overman have for years been
aware that he is Il prOhlbitiOnist, but
the senator has not proclaimed the
fact from the houstops. The senator
has not busted himself - advocate
prohibition for other communities
while neglecting his own. Neither did
he attempt to influence the legisia-
ture to allow the towns CO. of VIII
liams and Shore the special privilege
of making liquor, an absolutely indie
fensible special privilege given these
places by the legislature of 1902, but
which the Legislature of 1905 was sen
l sible enough to correct.
7 Wadesboro Messenger and 1ntelilsen-
cer: Senator Overman's friends haze
known all along that he was a con
sistent prohibitionist, but they hav'
not claimed that, because Of this fac
alone, he should be elected Unitet
