More Exports Than Imports.

Washington, July 23.-A review OF
the foreign trade of the United States
during the last twelve months shows
a steady increase in commercial
goods with India and the Orient. Ex-
ports from the United States to Can
ada jumped from s216,0O0,00o to
s270, 100000, and imports from Can
ada increased from $95,OOO,O0O to
$1O1, 100000. A comparative in
crease in business with China and
Japan also is evident.
This country's foreign commerce
for the fiscal year showed a marked
decrease in imports and increase in
exports. The balance of trade, there
fore, was steadily in favor of the
United States and American bankers
have found enlarged gold balances
to draw upon in the European money
centre. Great Britain still Is a
best customer.

THAT COLLETON RUMPUS.
Correspondent Vigorously Upholds
Good Name of the Beach Section.

To the Editor of The News and
Courier: In yesterdays News and
Courier appears Mr.. S. E. Boney's re-
port of the Zeigler rampages, and
Mr.. Boney says the hard feeling ex-
listed principally in the Beach section,
where the church of the Adventist is
situated, etc. The party giving Mr..
Boney this information may not have
known he was telling falsehood,
but he told one. There is not Beach
living anywhere near the church;
not a Beach belongs to this church;
not Beach was at this church when
this outrageous matter occurred; not
a Beach was at the. trial in the
magistrates court. AS a matter Of
fact, the Beach neighborhood is not
even in the same township, it being
demarcated by one of the largest
swamps in the county, miles off.
This Adventist church is situated
on the banks of what is known all
over the county as He'll Hole, near
Walterboro. I never have in my life
(and am not young) heard of sher-
iff or magistrate or their help
making an official visit to the Beach
neighborhood." Please correct this
statement, as it is direct reflection
on us who constitute the Beach vi
cinity and are in perfect harmony
with all mankind. E. c. BEACH.

written letter intimating suicide It
created sensation in Graniteville
and Aiken, where Mr.. Posey is well
known and generally esteemed. He is

vile. The firm is considered one Of
