HUGE TAX ON COTTON TRADE.
South Paws Millions Of Tribute To
Europe To Finance Exports.

New York, Oct. 9.-The South in
FIVE years has received nearly 81. 00O,-
600, 900 for its cotton; more than
50, 600, 600. 900 of this huge sum has
been paid to the South by foreign buy
ers. Cotton is the bulwark Of our
foreign export trade.
With the great prosperity that has
come to the South through this enor-
nous production of new wealth each
year has also come the realization of
the fact that this, the greatest of all
American exports, is financed almost
entirely by the bankers Of Europe. A
half billion dollars of American cot
ton is carried from our shores under
foreign flags and with foreign bank.
ers' bills. How many millions of
dollars the South pays to Europe
every year for financing the export
of its crop can only roughly be es-
timated.
Henry S. Reed, the editor of the
Cotton Journal" of Atlanta, Ga.
says that if the South had adequate
banking facilities there would be
saved every year from $500, 600, 600
to $500, 100000.
This would aid materially" he
says, lin putting all the industries
of the South-farming, commercial,
manufacturing and banking-on a
much more satisfactory basis; hence,
the South's business man is inter-
ested, or will be, as soon as he can
be made to look at this great question
in a business-like manner
tSince the South produces this
enormous new wealth each year, il is
not right that the South should first
supply its own needs from its own
money before loaning it to the bust
ness people in other sections of our
country? / think so. Today it is re-
turned to America through Wall
Street, and Wall Street in turn loans
it out TO the grain country. the cattle
rangers, the mining sections, and to
the speculative world, and it is pos
sible cotton money is used to distress
the cotton producer and lower the
price of the article which brought the
money into existence.
The reason the American cotton
export trade is financed abroad, fore
ing us to pay millions of tribute
yearly to foreign bankers, is that
under our banking system we have
no means of competing with Europe
in financing our foreign trade.
Nearly all the cotton sold abroad is
financed by means of credits taken
by the foreign buyers through their
bankers.
Business men, cotton planters and
bankers in the South have become
actively interested in non-partisan
way to urge upon Congress the neces-
sity of so reforming our banking
system that we can finance our foreign
trade at home instead of paying Lon
don to do it.

TO PUTNAvY ON WATER WAGON
Bill For TeetOtaIism In Branch OF
Services.

Representative Hobson. as a MEM
Der of the House naval committee, IS
profoundly interested in his bill I'd.
r. 1909, introduced early in the late
extra session, to prevent the sale
of intoxicating liquors on board yes
sells and in navy yards and naval
stations.
Through the State Department Mr..
Hobson has obtained copious reports
of conditions prevailing in the navies
of European governments. Mr.. Hob
son proposes to go into the subject
with great thoroughness, as he is
capable of doing. He will also, ii Is
understood, use this material during
the next political campaign in which
he engages.
Mr.. Hobson has found that in for
eign countries there is a decided ten
dency to restrict the sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors and a general movement
toward abstinence He believes that
the same restrictions which apply to
military reservations should prevail
in navy yards and naval stations and
on board ship. He will make a de-
termined effort to have the House
naval committee report the bill favor
ably, and he will take the earliest OPP
portunity to bring the subject before
the House, in which event, it is safe
to say, Congress will place its appro-
val upon the bill.
1t is bound to do that in order to
be consistent, with the memory of the
Army anti-canteen law inspiring
Cong ess to virtuous action.

FOR LESS NOISE.
Silent Aeroplane Engines Wanted.

The military authorities are taking
steps toward obtaining engines for
aeroplanes which have their exhausts
muffied, in order to do away with the
noise which has hitherto characterized
flights of such machines.
1t is realized that in time of war,
and particularly when aeroplanes are
used at night, it is desirable to have
machines which can be operated silent
ly in the presence of the enemy. Sec
ond Lieutenant Thomas Dew. Milling,
Fifteenth Cavalry, one of the aviators
attached to the aeronautical station
at College Park, Md, has been order
ed, in this connection, to proceed to
Marblehead. Mass, to inspect a
Gnome engine at the Burgess Wright
Company, which is intended for in
stallation in one of that company's
machines which is to be furnished to
the Signal Corps.

ANTITYPH0ID SERUM.
Recommendations OF The Federal
Public Health Service.

The prevalence of typhoid fever in
practically every section of the Uni
ted States has inspired the Public
Health and Marine Hospital Service
at Washington to express publicly its
belief in the artificial immunity, with
certain limitations, afforded by anti
typhoid vaccinations, already compul-
sorry in the American Army for sold
iers under IS years of age.
In report just issued the Public
Health Service reproduces the sum-
mary Of the findings of a commission
of the Academy of Medicine, OF Paris,
which investigated the subject.
Antityphoid vaccination . the
French Commission declares, "does
not accomplish the complete disap-
pearance of this infectious disease in
the communities where it is praeticed,
but it diminishes very notably its fire.
quence. Moreover, such of the vac
cinated who contract typhoid fever,
notwithstanding, have. much milder
attacks than non-vaccinated subjects.
The percentage of deaths superven-
ing among the former is one-half that
of the non-vaccinated typhoid pa
tients.
In the judgment of the commission,
the vaccination should be practiced
only upon healthy subjects, free from
all organic or other defects, and from
local or general affections, no matter
what their nature, especially tuber-
culosis. Except in unusual circum-
stances, the report added, the vacci-
nation of debilitated and delicate per-
sons should be avoided.

THE LEGLESS CHAIR.
An Invention To Preclude Possibility
OF Seasickness.

Seasickness is doomed to become a
thing of the past so soon as the
patent chair invented by MIR. Gay,
of Camberell, says a London dispatch,
enters into universal use. This chair
is not supported by legs, like mere
ordinary chairs. Instead, what ap-
pears to be species of pivotal attach
ment is fixed to the undersideS of the
chair.
BY this ingenious device both chair
and occupant preserve their horizontal
position, however much the ship may
pitch and roll. The possibility of
seasickness is thus entirely obviated,
and the user of the patent chair is
enabled to sit in perfect comfort while
his less fortunate fellow passenger
are suffering all around him.
Two strong iron uprights are fitted
into slots on either side of the chair.
and the passenger by holding these
preserves a level balance. A capstan
arrangement on the deck would con-
troll several chairs at once and obviate
the necessity of the uprights.
1.-The idea of the chair said Mr..
Gay. flashed across my mind one day
when crossing from Holland in a tur-
bine steamer and knocked about most
horribly am poor sailor myself.
81 made the chair you see in my
bedroom and have tested it going
round Lands End on voyage from
London to Belfast, when it acted per-
fectly. One lady, having once sat in
it, was very reluctant to get out again
| am hoping that my chair may be on
the market in time to be used by the
Queen during her voyage to India. "

at the greenhouses of Mr.. Rudolph
