In Value of 1909 Cotton
Exports Over Those Of '08,
Increase Applies to Cotton
Cloth and Raw Material.
Exports Of Boots and Shoes Last
Year the Biggest on Record.

Washington, Jan. 21.-Cotton ex-
ports during 1909 were considerably
greater in value than during the prev
ious year, although the comparison
shows a reduction in most of the other
important agricultural products.
The increase in cotton export values
was due to the high prices prevailing
last year. In 1909 the manufactured
cotton exported was valued at about
$462 900, 900, while in 1908 it was worth
about $439. 100000.
Cotton cloth was exported last year
to the value of more than $4,000, 900,
while the year before only $1,000, 900
worth was sent out of the country.
Exports of boots and shoes from the
United States in 1909 were the largest
on record. having aggregated G,750,00O
pairs, compared with the previous
high record in 1907 of 6.3O0,6O0 pairs.
Measured by value, however, last
years exports fell slightly below those
of 1907 Tropical and sub-tropical
| countries, according to the bureau OF
statistics, offer the largest market for
the American boot and shoe trade, full
ly 81 per cent. of last years exports
| having gone to Cuba: per cent. t.

and per cent. to Central America.

Japan and Russia Each
Answer Our Proposal
To NeutraIize Manchurian Rail-
ways, Politely Refusing.
Russia Defers Her Answer on the
Alternative Proposition.

Toxic, Jan. 21.-The reply of the jap
anese government to the United States
proposal for the naturalization of the
Manchurian railways was handed TO
American Ambassador O'Brien this af-
ternoon. 1t is polite declination.
No intimation of the contents of the
memorandum of reply is given but the
best information obtainable indicates
that the communication is brief and
chat the declination to accept the neu-
tralization proposition is based on sew
eral grounds, the chief of which are:
The American plan would be OF no
advantage whatever to Japan
1t would afford no advantage 10
China.
IT would not change the commercial
situation in Manchuria, where Japan IS
adhering strictly to it's pledges OF an
omen door and equal opportunity.
It is understood that the reply is
couched in terms of friendly apprecla-
ton of the American purpose, but 1t Is
not of an argumentative character, and
tic conclusions are not qualified.

SCHOOLHOUSE RUINED.
New Building is Abandoned When
Large Crack Appears in Ceiling.

Brazil Ind, Jan. N.-The trustee of
Lewis township recently attempted to
reopen the Boyle graded school, a
handsome brick building completed
last fall at cost of $500, but as
large crack appeared in the ceiling,
the teachers at once sent their
children home and abandoned the
building. The drawing of the pillars
Of the Boyle mine caused the country
in all of the undermined ground
worked by the mine to sink several
feet. Several houses occupied by
miners were thrown out of line, some
Of them falling entirely from their
foundations and topping over until
they could no longer be occupied. The
new schoolhouse is on this land, and
has been ruined.
Suit for damages will be brought
against the company.

THE SAME TREATMENT
Accorded c. w. Morse, Says Warden
Meyer, As Any Other Prisoner.

Washington, Jan. 21.-Capt. William
H. Meyer, warden of the United States
penitentiary at Atlanta, Ca, was at
the department of justice today and
entered an indignant denial of the pub
lished stories that special privileges
were being accorded to Charles w.
Morse, the New York banker, who re-
Gently began serving a 15-year SEN
tence in that institution.
Capt. Meyer says that it is true that
after being removed, the moustache of
Morse has been allowed to grow again,
but that that was a privilege accorded
to all prisoners.
Mr.. Morse, he said, was employed
in the library making up a catalogue
of several thousand books which had
not been indexed and was being treated
precisely as any other prisoner in the
institution.

Instead of the young women being
worried about how popular they will
be at the dance and who will take
them and whether they will get flow
ers, this time it will be the young men
who will do the worrying.

1t has been understood generally that
Japan and Russia would take identical
action on the American proposal.
The Russian communication, which
was presented by the foreign office at
noon, rejects the proposal for the
naturalization of existing railroads. 1t
also states that the Russian govern
ment considers the alternative propo-
sition for it's participation in an inter-
national syndicate for the construction
of the Chinchow-Aigun line acceptable
in principle, but because of the political
and strategical Importance Of the en-
terprise and it's bearing on the East
Chinese Railroad, Russia will defer
final answer on this subject pending
the receipt of information as to the
of the American project
Russia reserves the right to pass up
on all such projects as affect it's politi-
CAL strategic and economic interests.
The note of reply throughout is in
most friendly tone.

Columbus, Ohio, January 21.-Un-
cleanliness in preparation and poor
quality of food together with the
meagerness of supply, are the charges
brought by $50 Monnett Hall girls
against Prof. Austin, dean of Ohio
wesleyan University, at Delaware.
An amount exceeding s1.10O is paid
each week by the girls for board alone
and investigation shows that only $400
per week is expended for the mainten-
ance of this department.
The remaining 800 is applied by
the dean upon the university deficit.
This week is expected to bring some
decisive move on the part of the girls
in general strike in which case
President Welch will be forced to in

Rupture
~ =
Danger Of Death.
How TO Avoid II?

In my last article when I was an
nouncing the early coming to Augusta
of Mr.. A. Claverie, the distinguished
specialist of Paris l have said that
Rupture was disease to be dreaded.
/ have since received several letters
inquiring il the disease was really as
dangerous as l had stated.
hasten to reply that Rupture is one
of the most fearful infrmities known,
although most of those who suffer
from 1t are not aware of 1t.
Not to speak of the inconvenience
of the pains it causes, the Rupture, If
II is not supported or if it is wrongly
supported-which is just bad-is
bound fatally to increase more or less
regularly until it attains fearful pro-
portions.
From that time the digestion is bad,
the appetite decreases, the patient be-
comes weak, until he is unable to work
or even to move. 1t is old age when
yet young. it means the SCATTERING to
pieces of all the strength of the pa
tient.
And yet. there is something more
terrible in sight. a scrotal rupture.
1t threatens the small as well as the
large ruptures.
All of sudden, the ring which al
lows a passage to the rupture sharply
tlghtens. and this without any APP
parent cause. and If at this moment
the rupture is protruding outwards it
is choked, strangIed ana cannot be
pressed back; this means death within
~ hours.
One may judge how urgent it is to
take the most earnest precautions
when one suffers from Rupture.
But it is not by wearing ordinary
trade trusscs that one may be pro-
tected against such terrible danger
because these trusses are in most in
stances unable to support perfectly
the Rupture and to maintain the
bowels in their proper place.
This question of the treatment of
Rupture is serious and grave prob
lem for science and not traders to
solve 1t is then only through scien-
tific and perfected appliances that
good results can be secured.
And for these reasons I cannot too
strongly recommend to my readers to
go and see Mr.. a. Claverie. the Spec
ialist from Paris. when he will visit
our city.
His Method and his Apparatus have
the cndorsation of the highest medical
authorities and have been adopted bv
nearly one million sufferers, the world
over.
His last creation specially. solves
the question Of the system of pal
native cure definitely and it is i'm
possible to count now the many des-
perate cases that have been relieved
and even cured
fou VIII thus go and see Mr. A.
NiaNerie as you will surely find with
him safety and cure.

Little Affected blythe Furry
In Wall Street.
Export Demand Is Light
Little Call from Far East.
Spring Orders for Footwear Falr'''

New York Jan. 21-R. G. Dun q
Cos. Weekly Review of Trade tomor-
row will say:
The disturbance in Wall street is
apparently without effect upon the in
dustrial and trade situation winch,
measured by the best tests, continues
in a healthy and active condition. In
the primary dry goods market houses
sales are in progress and the break
in cotton, although an unsettling fea-
ture made no change in jobbing prices,
which had not yet reached the parity
Of Is per cent. for raw material. Buy
ers of cotton blankets and other mapped
goods of staple character are operat-
ing freely at an advance over year
ago, and stocks in all parts of the
country are reported to be well cleaned
up. New York prices of gray goods
declined somewhat.
Export demand continues very light
with little inquiry from the Far East.
Hosiery and underwear are in better
demand. and new fall lines in cotton
dress fabrics are being bought freely.
Trade in prints is light in ginghams
somewhat better and in bleached
vision a sharp reduction was made on
heavy serge while the demand for
fancy overcoatings is satisfactory.
Many large lines of staple and fancy
WOrsted dress goods were opened at
moderate advances. Cotton yarns are
dull, worsted yarns steady and wooden
yarns steady but quiet.
Supplementary spring orders for
footwear in the Boston market are fair
in volume and manufacturers regard
the outlook as promising. Present
prices are well sustained in all lines.
Present supplies in jobbers hands are
small, but when deliveries are COM
fairly well stocked with seasonabe
lines. Western packer hides show
some further activity, the principal
business being in native cows, sales of
which amounted to about 10000 down
to 16R or II cents. Altogether be-
tween 175,000 and 100000 packer hides
have been moved during the past fort
night. Foreign hides are generally
stronger than domestic stock Country
hides rule easy, owing to the decline
in packer cows. The leather trade
continues dull, buyers holding off for
lower prices, although supplies are gem
orally quite moderate.
Failures this week numbered 295 in
the United States against 31S last year
and SO in Canada, compared with "A a
