Mr.. Mackin's Address
There is but one purpose in the
remarks that l shall make tonight,
and that is to boost the schools For
ten years it was my work to direct
your schools as a Superintendent.
You have schools of which you need
not be ashamed. Now that my work
of this year as principal Of the Train
ing school for Teachers is practically
at an end, for the first time | may
speak to you as a citizen and tax
payer only and not as a public SER
want l wish to talk as one of you.
We in Ladysmith have good
schools. They are we'll filled with
pupils. We have as many as the
city seems desirous of paying for, yet
we will pay more if necessary. We
are not pOor-Only cramped little.
We have a we'll established Train
ing school, run by the county and
the state. With Supt. Rice, Presi-
dent Sinclair and Treasurer Black
burn to manage it, we do not hesi-
tate to say we shall have good
one. There are as many students in
it as can we'll be taken care of; 2I3
of them are from outside the city
and several from other counties The
state pays $4,000 year to the school.
We feel safe in saying that the school
brings from $4,000 to $4,000 a year
into the city.
The school has gone through its
struggles for existence, and if any
fellow citizen among us is envious,
let it be remembered, before further
attack is made upon it, that the
people will not give it up until some
thing better is given to replace it.
After hunting down it's enemies, |
have found that they are the least
worthy to throw the first stone at

" Imports and Exports of Potatoes

The recent announcement that large
quantities Of potatoes are being import
ed into the United States lends inter-
est to a statement prepared by the bu-
reau of statistics, department of COM
merce and labor, showing the imports
and exports of potatoes during a term
of years. While the production of po-
tatoes in the United States is usually
sufficient to meet the requirements of
It's population, there have been a num-
Der OF occasions following short crops
in the United States on which consid-
cradle quantities are imported. On
other occasions, when there were short.
ages abroad and large crops in the
United States, considerable quantities
were exported. The total imports of
potatoes into the United States in the
last 10 years aggregated 22,S45, 634
bushels, valued at $10.9S5, 40, or about

the cost Of transportation or duties
paid, the rate of duty being 25 cents
per bushel of so pounds, both under
the present law and its immediate
predecessor. The exports of potatoes
from the United States during the same
decade amounted to 1O,9OO,566 bushels,

Potatoes exported into the United
States come chiefly from Canada, Mex
leo, and Bermuda in America, and Scot
land, England, Ireland, Germany and
France in Europe, while in recent
years small quantities have also been
brought from China, Australia, and the
Canary islands. The potatoes export
ed go chiefly to the West Indies, Cen
tRal America and Canada, the largest
quantities usually to Cuba, Canada, and
Panama, and lesser quantities to other
Central American states and the West
Indian islands. Small quantities have
also been sent in recent years to China,
Hongkong, British Guiana, the Philip
pine islands. French Oceania, and GER
tain of the South American countries,
but practically none to Europe, which,
although a large consumer of potatoes.

Johnson contested the will on the
