STATISTICS ARE GIVEN.

I'VE quote from an undoubted
authority on this question the fol-
lowing most startling statistics:
Last year our exports and i'm
ports, for the first time in our his
ftory, reached the astounding figure
of $3,000,000. Three billions Of dol
lars! and that is $334,0OO, 900 more
than the total of our exports and i'm
ports of the preceding year. 1t is
about one and one-third billions
more than during the best year OF
the Cleveland administration. Dur
ing the first year of that administra-
tion the balance of trade was against
us nearly $19,000,000.
Last year the balance of trade In
our favor was over $517, 100000.
During the last ten years of Republi-
can administration the balance of
trade in our favor equals ten times
the aggregate balances of trade of
all the years from GeorgeWashing-
ton to Theodore Roosevelt 1t is
only within the last few years that
we have become to any large extent
exporters of manufactures, and yet
last year these exports reached the
sum of $600,O00,O0 And that was
an increase over the preceding year
of nearly 100000.

GROWS EGYPTIAN COTTON.
Many Years of Unsuccessful Ef-
fort to Cultivate 1t Is Re-
warded at Last.

Washington, April 3-After
years of unsuccessful effort to intro
duceEgyptian cotton into the Unit
ed States, the bureau of plant in
dustry of the department of agricul-
ture reports that promising results
are secured in New Mexico and
Arizona. Several million dollars
worth of Egyptian cotton is annu-
ally imported into the United
States and It has been the desire
of the department to develop its
cultivation in this country.
DR.. Webber, now of Cornell, ex-
perimented with the Egyptian
plant in South Carolina and North,
ern Georgia, but the climate in
those sections proved too severes
Hybrids cultivated by DR.. Web
Der also were unsuccessful. 1t is
still believed, however. that the
plant can be successfully cultivated
in Northern Florida and Southern
Georgia. The experiments of DR..
Carson, of the department of agri-
culture in the Colorado river basin
within the past few years, have
proven successful. as much as nine
hundred pounds of line having been
secured from one acre of Sea Island
and is considerably more valu-
able than the inland specimens OF
Sea Island and the uplands varie-
ties. 1t is the strongest variety OF
cotton, of good length and is used
largely for fine laces and the best
grades of undergarments.
Ittakes the mercerization process
better than other cottons and makes
very strong thread.
Seeds from the successful growth
in Arizona are being distributed by
DR.. Carson, and it is believed that
the Egyptian cotton will play an
Important part in the development
of the Colorado river basin.

vicksburg Girls College.

Bishop Theo. DuBose Bratton of
the Episcopal diocese of Mississippi,
is renewing his campaign in behalf
of the proposed diocesan college
for girls, to be established at Vicks-
burg, and will endeavor to complete
the work of raising the building
fund during the spring and summer
months.
The New Orleans architects en-
gagged to prepare the plans and
specifications will soon have their
working plans in shape, after
which the diocesan committee will
hold a meeting to invite bids from
contractors.
It is the desire of the leaders OF
this movement, if possible to get
the college buildings completed be-
fore the opening of the next schol-
astic term. The diocesan council
will meet at Aberdeen during the
first week In May, and the college
movement will be one OF the prin-
cipal subjects of discussion at that
gathering. -Vicksburg Herald.

Mrs. Martha Harmon.

Mrs. Martha Isabel Harmon,
wife of Mr.. ]. w. Harmon, de-
parted this life yesterday morning
at 10 O'Clock at the infrmary al
Vicksburg where she was taken
about two weeks ago for treatment.
Mrs. Harmon, whose maiden
name was Sorrels, was born and
raised in the eastern part of the
county and was 81 years old at the
time of her death.
She was married at the age OF
fifteen, and was the mother of
twelve children. ten of whom sur
vive her.
She was a devoted wife, kind
and loving mother, and friend to
all who knew her.
Until her health failed her about
two years ago, she always respond
ed promptly to every call of duty,
and in sickness was al excellent
and willing nurse.
She was a member of the Metho-
dist church and gave us the assur-
ance when she died that she was
leaning on the everlasting arms.
Sweet consolation when we know
our loved ones have gone where
the day never dies, and the leaves
never fade.
For the last two years she had
been under treatment and some OF
the time had suffered untold ago
nies, but, thank God, she bravely
bore 1t all, and is now reaping the
reward that awaits Us all if we hold
out faithful to the end.
May Gods richest blessings rest
on the bereaved family, and may
this manifestion of His providence
be the means of drawing them
nearer to him. A. S. T.

Col. E. N. Scudder has just re-
turned from the meeting of the
board of trustees of the Alcorn A.
e M.College, of which he is mem
Der. Col. Scudder says that the
meeting was of a most satisfactory
nature, and considerable business
of importance came before the
board. Secretary James Mcclure
was unanimously reelected to his
position, which shows that charges
that had been made against him
during the time that the state Leg
islature was in session, were en-
tirely false and without foundation.
The board of trustees named
committees to look after letting out
new building to be done in coanec-
ton with the college for next ses-
sion. The institution is considered
to be one of the best managed 10
the state, and the future possesses
as bright an outlook as the fine re-
cord of the past.
Due to many important matters
at the capitol to occupy his time and
attention, Governor Noel was un-
able to attend the meeting of the
Alcorn College board of trustees.
