Wireless Plant ut Charleston.

Charleston, Nov. 26.-Plans Of the
Navy Department to build one OF the
most powerful wireless receiving sta
tions In the country on n site being
negotiated for here, at the foot Of
Tradd street, Ashley river, became
known locally to-day. Two masts,
200 feet tall and lofty tower, plus
building for the equipment, and
another for use as quarters for eight
operators, a yeoman and a cook, will
be built in the near future, bids now
being received for the work. The
receiving station will be of sufficient
power to catch messages from as far
as Berlin. The new plant will be
used for receiving purposes only, and
will serve to relieve the present radio
station at the local yard in handling
n growing and very large wireless
traffic. The receiving station will be
located at the edge Of and partly on
the new lighthouse district station
property. 1t Is sufficiently far from
the main radio plant at the yard to
prevent interference in operation, at
the same time being near enough for
convenient joint service.

TNcnty-l'ive Cent Cotton {?
(AnderSOn Alail,)


Walton Storm, member OF the
hrm OF Johnston, Storm IL Co., cot
ton brokers Of New York city, has ar
rived in the city to spend several DAYS
at the firms local office. and declares
that in their opinion the price OF
cotton will go to Is cents. Mr..
Storm made the following statement:
Fhe unusual feature of the pres
ent cotton situation from n stand
point OF futures is that the great
strength OF the markets Is due to de-
mand and not speculation. In almost
all bull markets In the past specula-
tors were the leaders and spots fol-
lowed to greater or less extent, but
this year speculation has been fairly
small and has followed we'll behind
the spot markets. This has made q
much healthier mark ct, as the techni-
cal position has been strong with
only one or two temporary excep-
tions. Looking at the future | can
see no reason for any permanent de-
cline, and look for much higher
prices, based on the dry goods and ex-
port situation, together with the
small crops Of cotton not only in this
country, but IN India and Egypt as
we'll. Large fluctuations are only
natural and normal at present prices.
but the trend seems steadily but
none the less surely toward the level
OF four pounds OF cotton for dol
lar'"

inst by way Of reminder, although
al unpleasant one to some, the Phil
adelphia Record says that in April,
1908, when Theodore Roosevelt was
President, the Dingley tariff was in
operation, the Republicans held both
Houses Of Congress, and Providence
accordingly should have smiled upon
this blessed land, there were 5000
idle freight cars standing upon the
tracks Of American railroads. Busi-
ness was depressed, and continued so
for several years. On November l,
1916, within n week Of Presidential
election, which generally has de-
terrent effect upon commerce. there
was a shortage Of 108,010 freight
cars. or difference of some 900
from the days Of the Rooseveltian
panic. With the election of a
Democratic President the shortage
daily grows worse.
