ticle a single additional payment OF
half the import duty enables it to be
sent to any portion of the interior
without payment of likin, while it
can be sent from one treaty port to
another without any payment IL ad-
dition to the import duty originally
paid. The local article on the other
hand has to pay likin if sent from one
treaty port to another, and if it is
sent far inland it has likin levied up
on it at an unknown number of likln
barriers. Thus it will be seen that
the local manufacturer, in regard to
trade with distant inland localities,
is seriously handicapped against the
importer. AS already stated how
ever, it is not likely that this anoma-
lous condition of affairs will be al
lowed to continue much longer. BY
arrangement, the increase in Gus
toms duties will synchronize with the
abolition of likin charges, and when
this takes place local manufacture
will receive protection to an ap2re-
ciable extent"

to seven-eighth inches. For me-
chanical looms it has been found gen.
orally advisable to use about 25 per
cent. of American cotton, but in
many instances only the local product
is utilized. In the present stage OF
development Of the industry the
amount of cotton grown in China is
ample for requirements, and cultiva-
tion can be extended almost indef-
nitely as the demand increases. The
cost of the raw cotton, of course, fiuc-
tuates, but the cheaper qualities are
usually available at from about 2 to
3 cents per pound.
Apart from the cost of the cotton
itself the price of labor gives the
manufacturer in China a tremendous
handicap. The following table of
approximate cost of production will
be found of intertst:

ufacturing Yarn.

Shangnai-Shangh is at once
China's Spindledom and Cottonopolis.
Inasmuch as a great deal of miscon-
ception obtains in America as to cot
ton opportunities and handicaps in
China, the following, which appears
as an editorial in the current Far
Eastern Review, will doubtless be
valuable to American cotton planters
and textile operators and exporters.
1.-The day is far distant, if it ever
dawns, when China is likely to pro-
vide sufficient manufactured cotton
goods to meet her own demand.
When it is considered that the popu-
lation is somewhere between $780,
100000 and 4OO,OOO,0OO, that cot
ton material is used for the national
dress; that it has hitherto been found
impossible to manufacture the finer
counts in China, and that imported
goods, owing to the eccentricities of
Chinese methods of taxation, enjoy
immunity from certain charges levied
on the native article, it will be realiz-
ed that no immediate anxiety need be
felt by those interested in the i'm
portation of cotton goods. At the
same time it is we'll to bear in mind
that China has made start, and a
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1917-02-15

good start, toward supplying some OF
her needs, and that there are factors
in her favor which must necessarily
tend to the development of local man
ufacturing.
AN investigation made last year
showed that there were then in the
mills in Shanghai, the chief centre
of the industry, over 100000 spindles
and about 800 looms. The difficulty
of obtaining exact statistics in China
is notorious, buI it is estimated that
the spindles in operation in the
country numbec a million and the
looms 1000. From these figures it
will be seen that Shanghai practical
ly monopolizes the weaving industry.
The counts manufactured are prac-
tically confined to los, 12s, las, 16s,
1Ss, and 20s. The claim has been
made that an attempt to spin 32s
met with success.
The amount of cotton grown in
China cannot be accurately deter
mined. All that can be said with
certainty is that it is over 100000
tons per year and under 100000
tons. Formerly the staple was very
short, but the introduction of new
seed in some places has resulted in
an Improvement, and some of the
Chinese cotton has been described by
competent American investigator
as having good lustre, fair strength
and staple from three-quarter inches

costs other than labor are eX-
tremely low. Most of the mills in
Shanghai are supplied with power by
the municipal electrical plant at a
very low rate. The vagaries of ex-
change, which are factor of conse-
quence in regard to imported goods,
in no way disconcert those engaged
in local manufacture. 1t is true that
cotton goods manufactured locally
have very little protection, the efec-
tive duty on yarn and cloth being
only about 2 1-2 to per cent, but
there is more than a probability that
these duties will be largely increased.
Such increase cannot take place at
once, as China has to obtain the con-
sent of all the treaty powers before
modifying the tariff, but she has such
a reasonable right to expect consider
alton for her frequently pressed re-
quest to be allowed to readjust the
customs schedule, that it may be ex-
pected that the request will be hon.
ored as the Chinese government gives
adequate proof that it intends to full
fill the counter-obligatio to which
it has pledged itself. At present, as
mentioned earlier in this article, not
onlv is the amount of tariff protec-
ton exceedingly small, but locally
manufactured goods are subject to
heavier inland taxation than the i'm

More interest Is being shown in the
Maryland-Delaware team race at Bal
timore tomorrow than has been mani
tested in any trapshooting event in
this State for some time. Extensive
preparations have been made by the
Oriole Gun Club. and they are ex-
pecting over one hundred shooters
from Delaware alone. The extra large
list OF attractive and valuable prizes
being offered and the noted hospi-
talty of Baltimore shooters undoubt-

in lower Delaware are taking Just as
much interest in this race as are
members Of the local clubs. and it
would not be surprzing if this State
were represented by more shotgun
artists than Maryland will produce.
TomorrOw's match Is the third of
the interstate matches between the

temporarily, at least, which is the
champion. The first match was held

News of the death of Otis Pomeroy
Boise, "a years of age, son ofMr. and
Mrs. W. E. Boise OF this city, at Hur-
ley, N. M, has been received in this
city. Death was due to lockjaw, the
unfortunate young man being sick but
"a hours. The late Mr.. Boise had
been in New Mexico the past four
years engaged in mining operations.
Deceased was born near Hope, N.
D., and until four years ago was .
resident of this state. He located in
various sections of North Dakota,
and for some time was engaged in the
newspaper field. In 1917 he accepted
an opportunity to locate at Hurley
and since then has been engaged in
extensive mining operations.
Deceased is survived by his parents,
four brothers and one sister. David
and Howard are both of Hurley,
Charles is now in Africa while Eugene
has heen at Hurley for some time Wis

This week closes the seventh school
month of the year and monthly exam
nations are now in order.
Lester and Harold Wells are driv-

their removal to the country.
Miss Meade's sister, who is teach
ing the primary grades at Sheyenne,
N. d., is spending her vacation week
here.
Over a hundred packages of flower
and vegetable seeds from the govern
ment we're distributed among the
grade pupils on Tuesday. We hope
they will make good use of them and
profit by their planting.
Nearly all the teachers are plan
ming to spend their vacation out of
town. Many of them will 60 to Fargo.
Here's hoping they will all have
very pleasant vacation and return re-
freshed and rested for the remainder
of the year.

BY means of the proceeds from the
Glee Club concert we have purchased
eighteen fine new records for the vic
trola. Several of the teachers tried
them out on Tuesday evening after
school, The cost of the records was
approximately twenty-five dollars.
The teachers had a splendid meet

Zelaya and a picked guard. SO much
she had gathered from a conference
at the bridge, when the cart paused
for further Instructions; and more, she
had then learned that the cart was to
proceed with all speed to a receiving
depot in the hills where Zelaya was to
wait with his prisoner till joined by
the men he had left to guard the
bridge.
1t vas high noon when at length the
cart lurched it's last lurch and came to
a dead stop.
The complaint of its greaseless
wheels had barely ceased when Patria,
moveless beneath the straw, heard a
voice she knew only too well. 1t was
Huroki's, ordering the driver to hasten
instantly to a nearby village and find
Zelaya, to advise him that it seemed
best to remove the prisoner instantly
to a safer place; Northumberland
horses and a guard for this purpose
without delay.
When the driver had gone, grum-
bling, Huroki spoke briefly with an
other Mexican, ordering him to stand
guard over the prisoner pending the
arrival Of the horses and the guard,
when he was to summon Huroki from
some observation point at no great dis
lance.
There followed three minutes Of
quiet. Then the girl took her life in
her hands and poked her head out of
the straw.

She could not see through the door
