BRITISH CAPITAL
SEEKS AMERICA

Henry Clews, in his latest circular,
interestingly discusses European idle
money and the growth of extravagant
Lying in the United States. He says:
In the local stock market cheap
money continues the strongest factor
Of support. Funds are piling up at
ell Eastern monetary centers, and
easy rates are assured Tor at least
the next four months. After that
period higher rates may prevail. Our
foreign trade continues in very salts
factory shape, exports in March being
unprecedented and the trade balance
rising to nearly $23,OOO,OOO in our
favor, against $19,OOO,OOO in 1910 and
SIX and a half millions in 1909. This
is a most welcome development; one
that is materially strengthening our
credit abroad and will certainly slim
ulate foreign investments in the Unit
ed States. In Europe, and particular
ly in Great Britain, there are enor-
nous sums seeking safe and profita-
bic employment. In Great Britain the
socialistic tendencies, or the disposi-
ton of the State and municipalities
to enter the field of private enterprise,
is materially limiting the field for
investment of British capital; and
this disposition to invest abroad is
being further accentuated by the poll
cies of Lloyd George and Nj. AS
qrith, who with their socialistic pro
gram are increasing the burdens of
texation in every direction. The Brit
ish investor is consequently natural
ly turning to this country where, in
spite of our similar political tenden-
cies, the attacks on capital are really
less serious in their consequences
than in Great Britain.
THE investment demand for Sc.
curities in this market has somewhat
subsidized and is unquestionably being
checked by public extravaganza. The
huying power of those of moderate
incomes has been seriously impaired
by extravaganza in living, in auto
mobiles, their accessories, etc. The
public is saving less and consequent
ly has less wherewith to invest in
securities. These are conditions
however, which will right themselves
in due season, certainly after pc
riod of economy, and the outlook is
not without its encouraging features
All things taken into consideration
we advise caution in speculative oper
ations until conditions become more
settled and promising"

ulon new plans for the erection Of
the Carnegie library building. Only
the original bidders will be eligible
to compete. Even with the grant Of
$4,000 made by the Legislature add

have been inadequate to construct and
furnish the building.

INCREASE OF EXPORTS OF
DIVERSIFIED PRODUCTS AND
DECREASE IN FOOD BILL

ufactures thereof were shipped to
the value of $126,63S, an increase of
$27,644 for the period. Wool, an old
staple of Hawaii. shows an increase
of $lS,3S0 the shipments for the
eight months being $49,SO5. Sisal is
not coming on as well as once had
been expected, shipments of ninety
one tons. valued at S9,477 being a gain
Of but twenty-three tons in quantity
and that of 1894 in value. Tobacco,
an export staple for scarcely two
years, was shipped to the value Of
$4,154, an increase OF S3,21O for the
period in question. Even in vegeta-
bles, where the balance is largely
against Hawaii, there was an increase
of $1,405, the shipments for the eight
months having been S7,45S.

Vegetables imported from the
States for the eight months ended
with February we're valued at 1898 =
SOP, being $32,O16 more than for the
corresponding period ended in 1910.
Meat and dairy products were import
ed from the mainland to the tune of
$592,406 an increase of $21,962 for
the period. Yet these two increases
of subsistence items together make
less than one-f1fteenth Of the decrease
shown In imports from the States
under the head of breadstuffs. includ-
ing animal feed. OF these commodi-
ties the importations for the last
eight months considered were $1,2tt,-
101, which is sS60,511 less than the
value of similar imports for the cor.
responding period ended in 1910.
Segregating the item of animal feed,
which is $199.S60 for the last period,
it is found to represent $157,393 of
the total reduction of our subsistence
bill.
Increases are shown in the imports
of barley, corn, rice and the item OF
call other and decreases in those OF
bread, biscuit, oats, wheat, wheat flour
and preparations of flour for table
food, besides the large decrease IN
animal feed already mentioned.
Foreign Exports Increase.
In a former article the very mate
rial increase in exports of Hawaiian
products to foreign countries was
mentioned, the amount for eight
months being $41S,263, representing
an increase over the 1910 period Of
'$357,S6O.

Franklin McAllister Successful In
Petition Hunt.

Franklin McAllister, life prison.
er in the penitentiary escaped last
January and went to his home In
Williamsburg county to see his blind
mother and to secure an old petition
for pardon which had been filed with
Gov. Hayward. He later went to the
office and presented the petition to-
Gov. Blease. Monday he was pa-
rolled during good behavior, but will
have to return to prison for life
should he be convicted Of another
crime.
McAllister was convicted in VIII
liamsburg county in 1901 on the
charge of murder and upon the rec
ommendation of the mercy OF the
court received a life sentence. Judge
Wilson, who was the solicitor prose-
cutting the case, said in a letter to-
Gov. Blease that he would not make
a recommendation as he did not re-
member the facts in the case. He
was convicted for the murder OF Siahs

Shoots Young Negress.

Fairfax, March 13.-Paul Roberts,
Jr., negro youth about 1S years Old,
shot Lula Brooker, negress, about
20 years old at her home on o. u.
Youmans's place, two miles from
here, last night about o'clock and,
inflicted wound that will probably
prove fatal.
The weapon used was a pistol and
the bullet took effect in the left
breast and passed through the body.
to the skin in the back and the
chance for the woman's recovery Is
slight.
It is said that Roberts after the
shooting claimed that he was passing
through the woman's yard and she
attacked him with an axe and that
he shot in self-defense; but 1t is also
said that there had been a quarrel
between Roberts and the woman q.
day or two before the shooting.
Roberts has not been seen In this
vicinity to-day and it is probable:
that he has fed.

The Railroad Proposition.

A number of our citizens have
asked us in the last few days as to
the status of the railroad matter
The work of securing subscriptions
and rights of way has been practi.
cally completed, and a proposition
has been made to company inter-
ested in the building of this line. The
proposition is one that we feel sure
will be accepted, but if those with
whom the committee is now confer
ring do not look with favor on the
building of this line, others are in
terested and the matter will be taken
up with them. Those who have ex-
perience in such matters state that
the citizens here have a good propo-
sition, and our people can be assured
that the railroad will be built and
that soon. The matter has reached
a stage where it is certain that sue
cess is in sight.

Let's Organize q Band.

In speaking to prominent gen.
tleman of the city a few nights ago
we remarked that it would be fine
idea to organize a brass band among
the young men of the town. There
are> a number of young men here
whom we feel sure would join such
an organization and take an abiding
interest in and put forth earnest ef-
forts to make the band credit to the
city. The stores close at o'clock in
the summer months, and it would be
a fine thing to have band to give
concerts on the court house square
in the afternoons after the stores
close, besides having it to play on
other occasions when needed.
Then, too, a good band is fine
advertisement for a town. It also
brings the young people together in
a social way, and the work is help
full and inspiring. From the mem
bership of the band nice orchestra
could also be organized, and we hope
our young men, and the older ones,
too, will think about this matter and
get up the band right away. We
feel sure that our people generally
will help with their money to sustain
such an organization.

Have Paid Their Taxes.

Washington, March 13.-Practi-
cally all of the more than 27,13O,-'
904 assessed for the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1910 on corporations In,
the United States, has been paid into
the treasury. The exact amount re-
ceived to February 1, 1911, the latest
date for which precise figures are
available, was s27,10s,1ss. The
amount assessed last year was $z7,-
10000. Added to this were penal
ties amounting to about 100000 Tor
failure to pay the tax when due.
What the tax will amount to this
year the commissioner Of internal
revenue, who has charge Of the collec-
tion, is not yet able to determine,
even approximately. Taxes not PAID
by July 1 will have added a penalty
of per cent. and interest at the rate
of 1 per cent. month for each month
they remain unpaid.

SHOT NEGRO RUNNING.
Joe Baker May Die from Bullet Fired
by H. w. Mcmillan.

Aiken, March 14.-Joe Baker, a
negro, lies critically y wounded in this
city as a result of being shot on Sat
urday night by H. w. Mcmillan,
Southern freight agent here. The
bullet struck Baker in the back, lodg-
ing in the spinal column. The negro
is said to be paralyzed in the lower
limbs and he may die.
At 1 o'clock Saturday night Mr..
Mcmillan went home from the freight
depot. He boards at the home OF
Clint Barton, where some one is said
to have been stealing wood for some
time. The negro was seen with a
piece of wood and on being ordered
to stop he ran and Mr.. Mcmillan fired
at the fleeing negro with the above
result.
On entering the house MIR. McMil-
Ian found that his room had been
entered and the indications point to
the negro as the burglar. The negro,
however, disclaims any knowledge OF
wood-stealing or entering the house
and said he got the wood somewhere
else.

Negro Runs Amuck on Train.

Batesburg, March 12.-When the
Carolina midland train from Allen
dale arrived last night, Grant Taylor
a negro, was turned over by the con-
ductor, J. D. Lewis, to the town au-
thorities to answer to the charge OF
assault and battery with intent to
kill. 1t seems that Allen Metz, col
ored, was suddenly attacked by Tay-
lor with knife, and was quite seri-
ously cut on the face and neck, the
facial artery being barely missed. The
attack was made when the train was
between here and Steadman. The
wounded negro was placed in charge
of a doctor at once. Taylor seems
to have been under the influence OF
cocaine and liquor. His trial will
come up in the mayors court in the
morning.

NEWS AND NOTICES.
The mission program Of the Sun
beams on last Friday afternoon was
quite a. success. The flowers were
placed in paper canoes with Indian
names and some of the children were
dressed in Indian costumes and two
of these, Master Caldwell Jones and
little Miss Katherine Free, occupied
an Indian tent or tee pee as the In
dams call them. The songs and reci-
tations were appropriate and well
rendered. A good sized crowd at.
tended and a goodly offering was
made. Refreshments we're served at
the close.
A large number in attendance and
a fine collection marked the Sunday
school record Sunday morning.
Both preaching services were fair
~ well attended. Pastor Frier
theme at the morning service was,
Our Home Mission Problems and Re-
sponsibility; and at night, The Sins
of Israel Provoking Divine Judg-
ment, being the third of series on
the prophecy of Amos. Some of the
Sunbeams sang a sweet song OF
praise at the morning service, and
Bro. Rentz closed the night service
with an impressive and appropriate
solo in his usually impressive way.

Wednesday afternoon. The Sun
beams meet again Friday afternoon,
Mr.. w. H. Morris and wife were

meeting, though the attendance was
small.
