farmer should not hesitate to hold
every remaining bale of the present
crop until the spinner comes across
with what he considers a remunerative
price. These figures are reliable and
were compiled by foreign representa-
tives of the United States government
from authentic sources of information.
This fact should give confidence to the
banker and business men of the south

no" She added that Allan came to

AN IMPROVEMENT
AT CITY WHARF
COUNTY DEciClEs TO COOPERATE
WITH CITY IN IMPROVING
HOME FOR BOATS.

The commissioners of roads and
revenues led their regular monthly
meteins at Ue court house yesterday
at noon. 4 ndmber of regular rou-
tine matters were taken I'D and dis.
posed OF.
The only matter OF unusual inter
est to cCMe up was a decision by the
mmiss.oners to make a number CT
repairs Oh the city dock, at the foot
OF Monk street, which is now used y
practically all small boats which
come to this port from nearby river
points, and which is altogeJ er made
quate TO meet the demand of this
growing business.
1t will De remembered that at a
recent meeting OF city council an ap.
preparation was passed up providing
for an Improvement at the dock.
Quite neat sum is TO be expended
in dredging, but the city is only to do
the work directly at the foot OF the
stone steps, while the commissioners
at the meeting Yesterday decided to
Cooperate with the city and also
dredge tne space at the foot Of the
dock between the wharyes Of the
Downing company and that used by
t. 2 Darien steamer Hessie.
When all OF this work is completed
these small craft can, it is believed
enter the dock at any stage of tide.
Al present it is impossible for them
to reach the steps at low water. The
Improvement is a much needed one
and will prove a great convenience
for tie many little boats which visit
tt e> city almost daily.

REPUBLICANS WIN IN MICHIGAN

Detroit, Mich, April 3.-Although it
is difficult to estimate the majority
the republicans today elected their
state ticket. In counties where a
local option fight broke out, the ma
iority ran upwards to those of four
years ago, when the total was more
than one hundred thousand. But in
many cases the vote was so light
as to indicate that the total majority
of the ticket might fall below 10000
and $4,000 for the republican ticket.
