EXPORTS OF FARM PRODUCTS
Will Reach tim Billion Dollar Mark
For tho Fiscal Year.
Washington, Juno 30.-Special:
Exports of farm products will aggre
gate a billion dollars In tho fiscal
year which ends to-day. Tho gov
ernment's fiscal year has for many
years ended at tho mlddlo of the cal
endar year, the purpose being to glvo
opportunity to classify and arrange
the year's figures In time for consid
eration by Congress, whoso regular
date of meeting ls tho first Monday
in December. Thus tho Lureau of
statistics presents its detailed yearly
report of commerce for the year end
ing June 30th.
Figures for eleven of the twelve
months of tho fiscal year 1911 are
now available, and show exports of
cotton $57 1,000,000, food-stuffs
$354,000.000, and tobacco $35,000.
000- a total for the eleven months
ending with May of $963,000.000,
making it quito apparent that the
sum added for tho month of June
will bring the total exports of farm
product? during tho fiscal year 1911
above Ihr, billion dollar line.
Cotton, as abovo Indicated, is by
far lin; largos! single Hom, $574,
000,000 worth Peing exported in tho
fiscal year 191 I over that of any ear
lier year is tine chiefly to thc high
price.-;, the quantity ol' cotton ex
ported in I !? I I hoing materially less
than in I !. 09 or 1907, while d?
value will exceed hy more I han
$100.000.000 that of tho years in
which the quantity was greater. Tho
average export price of domestic cot
ton in May, 1911, was 15.1 cents
per pound, and for the nine months
ending with May, 1 1.5 cents per
pound, against 14.2 cent in Hie cot
ton year li? 10, 12 ce.?is ill 1904,
11.4 cents in I HOS. and less than 6
cents per pound in IS95, 1898 and
1899, fhose figures being in all cases
for the cotton year ending with Au
gust 31st.
Meat and dairy products also show
a marked increase in value of ex
ports in the lineal year 1911 when
compared with the immediately pre
ceding \ear, being for the eleven
months ending with May. $135,500,
000, against $120.000,000 In the
?ame months of last year; and for
the single month of May, $15,500,
000, against $0,000,000 for tho cor
responding mont li of last year. This
increase is due in nearly all cases to
larger quantities, tho prices being In
most cases lower than last year. For
example, tho average export price of
bacon in the mouth of May, 10 1 1,1s
12.5 cents per pound, against 15.3
cents per pound in May of last year;
hams, 11.8 cents per pound against
14.6 outs in May a year ago; lard,
9.2 cents per pound, against 25.5
cents in May a year ago, nnd cheese,
11.5 cents per pound against 15.5
cents In May last year.
Oilier articles showing an increase
in vain, of exports lu the fiscal year
J 0 I l ov<-r that of tho corresponding
period of i lu* preceding fiscal year are
fruits, $23,000,000, against $17,750,
000 a year ago: corn, $33,000,000,
against $24,000,000 In the corres
ponding period of 1910; while cot
ion se* (! oil, oil enko and meal, and
flour, also show slight advances in
the total value ol exports when com
pared >\?th tho corresponding period
of last year, though wheal shows a
marked decline in thc olovon months
en.lin'.; with May, 191 I, IX-'HIK bul
$'-' 1.500,.t in \ ;iiu.-, against $ ?7,

GREAT SUA Ii OF CONFEDERACY.
Iloltovod to IH' in Now York, Says
Historian A. S. Halley, .Jr.
Tho discussion of tho question of
tho whereabouts of the Great Seal of
the Confederate States, In a recent
issue of tho Charleston News and
Courier, Induced A. S. Salley, Jr.,
tho secretary of the historical com
mission, to give tho following state
ments of thc facts 111 regard to tho
seal:
"When the officials of the Con
federate Government hurriedly left
Richmond in 1SG5 the Great Seal was
overlooked and loft behind. It was
shortly afterwards found in the De
partment of State, and the Ander kopt
lt until after the war and then pre
sented it to Col. John T. Plckott,
a Virginian, residing In Washington.
"Qol. Pickett, in order to make
money out of his treasure, had copies
of it made in gold, silver and bronze
by the electro-process. Ho got a cer
tif?cate from J. S. and A. B. Wyon,
'chlof ongravors of hor Majesty's
seals,' of London, tho maker of tho
Groat Seal, wherein they said that
thoy had compared tho electro copy
with tho proof Impression that had
been retained by their house and that
they had no hesitation In assorting
that so porfect an impression could
not havo been produced oxcopt. from
tho orglnal seal." Col. Plckott. sold
and gave away many of thoso electro
copies and they are now scattered
all over the country.
"Ho gavo several of tho bronze
copies to William E. Earle, a South
Carolinian, who then resided In
Washington, and Mr. Earlo sent ono
ol them to the Secretary of State for
the use of South Carolina. This
simple little copy has been shown to
so many mentally and physically list
less sightseers who visit our State
House annually, and take In just
about enough of what ls told them to
go out and talk stupidly about it,
that the Impression has gained wide
currency that the Great Seal of tho
Confederacy is in the State House In
Columbia. Four or five times a year
I got letters ( st. met i mes from people
who ought to know better.) asking
If the story that we have the Great
Seal of the Confederacy is true.
"A very distinguished looking old
gentleman once came in and asked
me |? I had the custody ol' the Great
Seal of the Confederacy. I told him
that we bad not liing but a small
bronze electro copy, and pulled it out
Ho quietly remarked that lt was as
had supposed; that he had one of the
gold copies. After Col. Pickett's
death the Seal passed to other hands,
and I am assured hy two men of
high standing In tho literary world
that it ls now in New York, and that
for some reason the owner does not
wish his name made publie for tho
present."

JACK TUM RIPPER IN ATLANTA.
Six Negro Wemen Murdered on Six
Consecutivo Sunday Nights.
Atlanta, Juno 29.-Apparently
Jack the Ripper ia at work In Atlan
ta and his purpose ls to murder ne
gro women.
Tho Unding of tho mutilated body
.d' a comely negress In a side stroot
marks tho sixth of a series of myste
rious murders which have puzzled
detectives and thrown the nogro pop
ulation Into a state of terror.
Each of six consecutive Sunday
nights has seen tho murder of a
negress, and lu each Instance tho
body has been mutilated in such a
manner as to indicate that the same
cerson committed tho crime.
Tho victims have all beoa young
and comely, and the indications aro
that they wore first strangled and
thou mutilated in a manner to indi
cate exact knowoldgo of anatomy.
In each instance thc body of tho
victim has been found in a lonely
side street. Physicians say tho mur
derer is undoubtedly a pervert with
knowledge of anatomy. The dotec
lives have no clue. The negro wo
men aro so terrorized that they aro
keeping off the streets at night.
