It is best to discuss in low key
the statement of the Liverpool cor
respondent of the London Times that
5000 bales of American cotton have
been sent back to this country to
turn them into dollars. 1t is even
suggested that like policy may be
adopted for other American goods,
which have been bought but not paid
for, and are daily more difficult to
pay for as dollars rise in price. The
British proposal is to diminish their
stock of our consumable goods in
order to reduce the liabilities against
them. Tolan extent, that is coopera-
ton with the effort of the federal
reserve to bring demand below sup
ply here by such financial methods
as shall bring to market goods kept
out of consumption by speculation.
Both plans may be commended under
reserve as to the possibility of too
much of good thing.
The cotton reimports stand on a
different basis. There is no novelty
about returning our cotton to US when
our spectators have made it more
profitable to sell it back to us even
over the costs Of such procedure,
than to sell the goods from the fibre.
The Corner" if i may be called
such, is now a British corner arrived
at in a natural manner, above criti-
cism. While Germany was attemp-
ting to starve England that stall
wart country was providing itself
with everything in more than usual
abundance. There never were such
food stocks in England in recent
years as in war years, and the British
stocks of cotton now are such that
they could we'll afford to pay freights
back to us and charge the costs
against the profit in dollars under
present conditions of exchange
provided they could undo The sale by
repurchase at their wish. There are
no signs in British practice that the
British think they have more cotton
than they can use. Total imports of
cotton into England last week were
208, 900 bales, against 10000 bales
the preceding week and $1,000 bales
last year. For the week ending Sat-
urday our exports of cotton were
173,643 bales, against 1852 bales
last year and 164,643 bales for the
last week of January. Liverpool
stocks of cotton now are over a mil
lion bales-more than double those
of last year. The reimport of 5000
bales would not make much impress
sion on such figures, and they would
not be convincing if they were
100000 bales.
The reason is that England never
made such profits from our cotton as
now. In the middle of January
British trade reports were that the
goods markets were bare: practically
all the world appears to be knocking
at Lancashire's door for cotton
goods" Any price is paid on assur-
ance of deliveries, passing wartime
levels by pence per pound and shill-
ings per "piece." The margin be-
tween our cotton price and the British
goods price is 35s, per pound, $50
that buyers pay only passing atten-

THE FLU.

When your back is broke and your
eyes are blurred,
And your shin bones knock and you'
tongue is furred,
And you're doggone sure you're going
to die,
But you're skeered you won't and
afraid you will,
Just drag to bed and have your chill
And pray the Lord to see you thru
For you've got the Flu, boy, you've
got the Flu.
When your toes curl up and your belt
goes fiat,
And you're twice as mean as a
Thomas cat,
And life is long and dismal curse,
And your food all taste like hard
boiled hearse,
When your lattice aches and your
heads a-buzz,
And nothing is as it ever was,
For you've got the Flu, boy, you've
got the Flu.
What is it like, this Spanish Flu?
Ask me brother, for I've been thru,
It is by Misery out of Despair,
It pulls your teeth and curls your
hair,
It thins your blood and brays your
bones,
And fills your craw with means and
groans,
And sometimes, maybe, you get we'll.
Some call it Flu, l call it hell.

BARGAIN SALE.

BARGAIN SALE.
Once lady met lady
Going out to buy;
Said the lady to the lady.

"Should we hurry? l should worry?
I have shopped before!'
In furry each did scurry
Swiftly to the store.
Tho they sadly said that badly
Could they spare the coin,
Very gladly they the madly
Showing crowd did join.
With frantic sort of antic
Each did strength expand,
BY mantle power gigantic
Looking for the end.
Of a yard or so with arder-~
They began to pull,
Pulling harder and still harder
Till their hands were full.
When the lady saw the lady
That same piece would buy,
In shady way the lady
Blacked that lady's eye.

Columbia, Feb. 15.-With the gen.
eral appropriation bill scheduled to
come up in the house of representa-
tives not before Tuesday afternoon
at 2:30 o'clock, all prospect of final
adjournment of the legislature the
coming week is gone. The measure
can not get to the senate before the
latter part of the week, and will have
to go to the finance committee there,
and it hardly seems possible for the
legislature to get through before the
9th or 2Sth, at the earliest.
The appropriation bill as reported
to the house by the ways and means
committee is the biggest in the Demo-
cratic history of the state. 1t carries
items aggregating S5,S30,927.16, an
increase of something like million
and three-quarters dollars over last
year, and an increase of $364,000
over the amount recommended by
Governor Cooper in the report OF the
budget commission. The governors
office is given nearly 100000, a con-
siderable portion of this being for
"law-enforcement." AS synopsized
by the Columbia State, the bill is in
substance as follows:
A striking feature of the bill is
that it carries appropriations Of
s364,195.51 in excess of the amount
recommended by Governor Cooper in
his budget commission report, the
total amount recommended in that
being $5,466,631.65. The total
amount appropriated last year was
$4,102,351.02.
There are several large items in the
bill. That for the State Hospital for
the Insane is the largest with $1,027,-
127.07. All appropriation Of 1884,
029.37 is recommended for Winthrop,
and s198,5S3.33 for the Citadel,
exclusive of the 100000 voted in
the house yesterday. The Office Of the
state superintendent of education is
voted s913,1 100, which is the largest
amount ever voted for the public
schools. An appropriation of s607,-
$50 is provided for Confederate
veterans.
Increases given by the committee
over the recommendation of the
budget commission include: One hun
dred thousand dollars for the gov
ernor's office, $4,000 for the Univer-
sity of South Carolina, $4,000 for the
Citadel, $4,000 for Clemson college,
$4,000 for Winthrop college, s14,-
900 for the Medical College of South
Carolina, $4,000 for the John de la
Howe Industrial school, 100000 for
the State Hospital for the Insane,
$4,000 for the state board of health.
Increase under the recommendation
of the budget commission of $4,000
for the adjutant generals office were
made by the committee, $4,000 for
the reformatory for negro boys, and
$4,000 for the state electrician.
There were small differences in
other items.

Would Raise Levy.
The bill would raise the levy from
nine and one-half to twelve mills.
It does not include, as introduced,
the proposed salary raises, already
passed by the senate and yet to be
considered by the house, which
would raise the salary of the governor
to $4,000, and make increases in the
salaries of all other state officials to
between $4,000 and $500. Of course
this measure has not yet passed the
house.
Nor does it include-if it should
get through-the amount to be avail
able 100000 this year, of the ap-
preparation for the Citadel of $780,
600, which has already passed the
house, and which is yet to be con-
sidered by the senate. Should this
measure go through the senate it
would increase the bill 100000.
With reference to the appropria-
tions for education recommended in
the bill, State Superintendent Swear
ineen has issued the following illumi-
mating statement:
Educational Items.
s'The total for the public schools is
S913,190. The amount requested by
the state superintendent in mis- esti-
mates submitted to the budget COM
mission was S1,021,530. The nes re-
duction is S108,340.
"These figures will barely protect
the contracts between trustees and
teachers under existing laws. Much
to my regret, nothing whatever has
been done to provide better salaries
for teachers.
"In round number the public
school enrolment for the scholastic
year 1888 was 100000. This fig
ure will likely be largely increased
for the current year. The report OF
the ways and means committee sup
plies about $3.50 per child.
"The increase over public school
appropriations of former years is
significant and gratifying, even
though inadequate. In contrast with
these figures, the recommendations
for the six state colleges aggregate
in round numbers S1,300,000. A
liberal policy toward the colleges is
necessary. Tax supported institutions
Of higher learning are indispensable,
and should be literally maintained.
"This report, however, would pro-
vide s1,3O0,0O0 for 1000 college
students, approximately 1925 per
head. The total public school reve-
nue. for the scholastic year 1888
aggregated s5,Os0,712.s2. The total
reported expenditure for all the pub
lie schools was S4,370,065.2S.
"The per capita expenditure per
white pupil was s2O.43 and per negro
pupil, S2.31. The average for both
races was S11.23.
"Our educational system must be
strengthened at lis base before pub
lie schools can serve and train all the
children of all the people. $1,3O0,00O

PROSPEROUS PROSPERITY

Prosperity, Feb. 16.-Through the
enterprise Of a number of progress
sive citizens, backed by their courage
and confidence in the opportunity
real genuine opportunity-written
on every foot of Prosperity soil, an
election for sS5,o00 bond issue for
electric lights was carried by an over

committee composed Of Messrs. j. c.

vestigate and plan the most desirable
and feasible method for this expendi-
eure and there is every evidence that
we are not going to be left behind
other progressive and wideawake
towns in securing lights and power.
Such improvements always increase
the value of property and add to the
comfort, health and prosperity OF a
place. Although considered luxury
several years ago, today electric
lights and power are an absolute ne
cessity for any town aspiring to be
more than village and now that we
are to get power let US awake and go
after those splendid and extensive
business opportunities so bountifully
supplied by our town, which are insis-
tently and appealingly awaiting to be
developed and whose invitation is like
a password to peaceful scenes of
plenty.
