ENOUGH SUGAR IN u. S.
TO LAST ALL OF 1921

The United States could get along
without more sugar from Cuba for
the rest of the year, according to a
statement made yesterday by the
Federal Sugar Refining Company
after a survey of available supplies.
The statement declares that there
appears to be nothing for buyers to
do but to follow hand to mouth poll
cy, and that there is no indication
the bottom has been reached. ere
gardless of what is responsible for
present conditions" the statement
goes on, "they are here and will bear
close attention if further losses are
to be avoided"
Stocks of sugar in this country
and supplies available from coun-
tries other than Cuba, the review
shows, would last until the middle of
October, when the domestic beet and
Louisiana cane sugar will be coming
into the market in sufficient quantity
to. provide for the remainder Of the
year. A total of 1,5O2,607 tons will
be available for our requirements,
and at he normal average consump-
ton rate of 333,333 tons a month,
the review goes on, this would last
over four and a half months.
'Raw sugar." says the statement,
held by refners and importers totals
277,607 tons; refined sugar held by
refners is estimated at $4,000 tons,
beet sugar stocks amount to 900
tons; the balance of Porto Rican,
Hawaiian and Virgin Islands crops
are 250,O00, 100000 and 5000 tons,
respectively; the balance of Philip
pine receipts of $4,000 tons and the
balance of full duty receipts
amount to 100000 tons. Practically
enough sugar for the rest of the
year will therefore be available, even
figuring on only 100000 tons of new
domestic beet and Louisiana sugars
being distributed by December 81.
There is a stock of 1,426,441 tons of
sugar at Cuban shipping ports and
100000 tons more on plantations
or to be made"

SEALSKIN COATS WILL.
BE DETECTIVES OF BIG
DRIVE OF GOVERNMENT

Seattle, Wash, June 14.-Seal-
skin coats-as many as can be made
from about 10000 skins-will be the
objective this summer in the gov
ernment's drive on its seal preserves
on the PribiIof Islands, which lie in
the Bering Sea, off Alaska.
Slaughter of the Pribilof seals will
begin this year early in June and
continue through the summer
moths, it was announced here re-
Gently. Last year $4,000 seals were
taken and this year it is hoped to
get $4,000.
Recently the United States steam
ship Saturn, of the navy depart
ment's transport service, arrived
here to load supplies for the annual
summer campaign on the islands.
The Saturn is taking to the Pribilofs
eight expert furriers from a ST..
Louis firm, which acts as the selling
agent for" the government.
Except for the months Of the seal
harvest, the Pribilofs are inhabited
by natives only. The government for
several years has been trying to i'm
prove living conditions for these in
habitants and this year is shipping
north a complete modern water sys-

DYNAMITE AMONG COAL

St. Matthews, June 15.-While
engaged in unloading a car of coal
yesterday, the Calhoun Supply com.
pany made a find that was not in
cluded in their order.
Six large sticks of dynamite all
neatly bundled together and caps to
suit were all snugly tucked away in
the recesses of the large Jumps Of
coal. Fortunately the caps had not
been applied but were in separate
paper Many conjectures are made
as to how the explosive found it's
way into the car. The consignees
state that it would seem that the
coal miner who was charged with
the blast must have, on returning to
the outer earth from the mine, car
ried the explosive with him, riding
on the car until he reached his sta
ton, and in forgetfulness, leaving
them for their long ride. Others
have suggested the idea that i'm
proper motives may have been be-
hind the matter However it got
there, the manager of the supply
company got around gingerly and
handled the coal like precious stone
until it was definitely ascetained
that there was no more to be found.
He will not include dynamite as q
part of the next order.

A BROKEN ROMANCE

Henri Pickard, in Cincinnati EnquT
er.
A kings broken romance is re
vealed in a decree annulling the be
trothal of the kings betrothal Phrs
| Ong Chow Vallabha Devi. The de
cree says:
"Whereas, in proclaiming his ma
! jesty's betrothal and for this pur
pose promoting Nom Chow Cher Sc
rene highness princess) Vallabhs
Dew to the title of Phra Varakanay
apadan (the kings betrother) Phrs
Ong Chow cher royal highness)
Princess Vallabha Devi, his majesty
had on other desire than firmly anc
definitely to insure the succession tt
the throne with view to the good Of
the country, as well as the happiness
of is own person;
"And, whereas, to his majesty's
deepest regret, it has now become
apparent, beyod all doubt, that his
majesty's noble desire, as above
stated, cannot satisfactorily be met,
owing to the incompatability of tenn
permanent between his majesty and
her royal higness Princess Vallabha
Dew, which may be accounted for
by the chronic indisposition of the
princess, whose nervous system
leaves much to be desired, so much
so that his majesty is under the ap-
prehension lest in the event Of the
royal marriage being permitted to
take place undesirable consequence
may follow in regard to the sugcrs-
sion of the throne;
'tNow, therefore. his majesty has
commanded that the proclamation
relating to his majesty's hetrothal is
hereby annulled."
The king first met the princess
who is of striking beauty, on a shop
ping expedition in Bangkok about six
moths ago.
For many weeks the betrothed
couple were referred to as the Sun
and the Moon and the Royal Gazette
chronicles their movements every
day.

COMPULSORY VOTING

Representative Tinkham, of Mas
sachusetts, present the figures of
votes cast in elections in the South
ern states. The vote of South Caro-
lima last year was 65,737. AS the
number Of white men of voting age
in the state is now upwards of 20O,-
600, perhaps Mr.. Tinkham will un-
dertake to establish that $4,000
white men were prevented, by force
of fraud, from voting.
MIR. Tinkham might attain his ends
by offering an amendment to the
federal constitution providing that
voting be compulsory.-The State.
Anyway 65,737 votes of good
South Carolina Democrats are worth
about 650,737 hybrid votes in Mas
sachusetts or Milwaukee.
