WILSON RESIGNS FRON PRINCETON Princeton, N. J., Oct. 20.--Woodrow Wilson, who was nominated by the Democrats for governor of NeV Jer sey, today resigned the presidency of Princeton university and his place will be temporarily filled by Jno. A. Stewart of New York, the senior trus tee of the institution. The day after Dr. Wilson's nomination he indicated that he would resign as the head of Princeton and the action taken to day is. therefore, r.o surprise. Dr. Wilson who was present at the meeting today of the board of trus tees. presented a letter to the board setting forth that he had been nomin ated for overnor by the Democrats of New Iersey and that he deemed it his duty to accert. He asked that the resignation be accepted at once. The board then unanimously adopt ed a resolution accepting the resigna tion with deep regret and a commit tee was appointed to prepare resol tions for adoption by the board in recogynition of Dr. Wilson's distin guished services. In his letter of resignation Dr. Wilson referred feel ingly to the institution he had so long loved and sought to serve and con cluded as follows: "It is my earnest prayer that the university may go forward without halt or hindrance in the path of true scholarship and thoughtful service to the nation." Dr. Wilson had been connected with Princeton for 20 years and was made president of the institution in 1902. A SOUTHERN PLAY MY ONE WHO KNOWS Why "The Sins of the Father" Li Tiniely Just Now. ' Those who witness "The Sins of the Father" at the opera house Fri day night, October 2S. will s-e a S e play by a Southerner who knows his subject. The playwright -referred to is Mr. Thomas Dixon, au Thor of "The Leopard's Spots." "The Clansman," "The Traitor," "Com rades" and many other successful plays and stories. Attention is called to the fact that "The Sins of the F'ather" was written by an expert, be 'case right now alleged "Southern -plays" are being offered by writers whose ignorance of the South is abys mal. Men who knows nothing of the social code, of the inter-relation of races, of the psychology of the white -xman and of the African, dare * n tforward and present imaginary scenes ' embodying their absurd ideas about inter-racial conduct. Such efforts mnay fool audiences a thousand miles away fronm the actual scene of the r'ace problem, but they can not nm pose on the people of this city. Mir. Dixon's "T:he Sins of the ~ath&r" handles without gloves the subject of the intermixure of races. It goes straight to the mark. but it does not aoffend the proprieties and above all it never strikes a false. mawkish or 'feebly sentimental note, so say those -who have witnessed it. Do not miss 'This tremendous expose of the evil of 'mixed bloods"--not preac-hed as a s'ro or penned as an essay, but present(d as a vita! stage story with living pesonage 4 #in-get the mtomeun tous parts. Resistlessiy funy comedy ' and, heartbreaking pathos are in the telling, while the big dramatic mci -ments stir the souls of playgoers to The depths. It is predicted that the -success of this: revolutior1arly play will far surpass that of Mr. Dixon's -greatest previous effort. "The Clans anan." DIPORTS OF COTTON. .'America Rought Nearly $16.000,000 Worth Last Year. Nearly sixteen million dollars' worth of raw cotton was, in the fiscal year 1910. imported into the United 'States, the wet'ld's greatest cotton producing county, the exact figures being 86.037.691 pounds. valued at '816.816.1 38. This is a larger sum sent out of the United States to buy cotton than ever before. except the year 1907. when the total was $19.930, Mc'st of this cotton from abroad is produoced in Egypnt, but more than a dzen other countries and all the co tinents contribute to the grand total. though presumably none of that com ing from Euron? is the production of that section of the world. The total Quantity imported direct front Egypt ithe fiscal year 1910 was 57.911.960 po unds. valued at 811.483.555. while ten million pounds. valued at two mil lion dollars. speaking in round r terms, came front Europe: ten million pounds. valued at a little more than $1,000,000, came from Asia: seven K million pounds. valued at about $1, 000.000. came from South Am.orica: and cunn milion pounds. valvv'd at t $1300 came from North Am-"i'n O'' fhe ten illion pounds imp"v'l" '4f1Orv' Furope. ne""1~ "~ ~ England and was presumably brought thither chiefly from Egypt and, in less quantities from British colonies. The next largest contributor after Egypt and England is Peru, from which six and three fourth million pounds, value a S1.0S.,978, were im ported. From British India nearly five and one-half million pounds. valued at $543,607, were imported; from China, over four and one-fourth million pounds, valued at $526,080; from Haiti, -51,002 pounds valued at $134,11S: Mexico, 122.266 pounds. valued at $6,558; and from the Dutch East Indies-Java and Sumatra 373,044 pounds. valued at $38,432, with smaller quantities from Ven.?zuela, Santo Domingo, tbe British West In dies. and Nicaragua; while from Can aCa 46,422 pounds. brought to tha: country from other parts of the world, I% ere imported. The average pric of this imported cotton was, in 1910, about 30 per cent Ligher than that of American cotton exported in the same year, while a. few years ago the average price of im ported cotton was nearly or quite 101 per cent higher than the average ex port price of domestic cotton. This is probably due to the increasing share which - cotton from countries other than Egypt forms of the total inrports of that article. Egyptian cotton, by reason of its length and fineness of staple always commands a price materially higher than that of American upland. the average import price of cotton brought from Egypt having been. in 1910, 20 cents per pound, against an average export 1rice for American upland in that vear of 14 cents; and, in 1905, 15 1-2 rents .for Egyptian, against a little less t'an 9 cents for American. This q-cstion of p-ice indicates quite clear lv that the 10,000,000 pounds of cot ton imported from England in 1910 was also of Egyptian origin, its aver age iMport price having been 20 cents per pound. or approximately the same as that imported direct from Egypt. The six- and three-fourth million pounds imported from Peru averaged 16 cents per pound, or a little more than the export price of domestic cot ton; from India, about 10 cents per pound, and from China, 11 1-2 cents. China, India and Peru sent larger quantities of cotton to the United States in 1910 than ever before. Im ports of Chinese cotton but once reached as much as a half million pounds prior to 1909, when the total was one-and one-half miliion pound3, against four and one-half million in 1910. From India cotton Imports had never reached as much as a half mil lion pounds prior to 1907 and in 1910 for the first time exceeded one million pounds, having been in that year five and -one-half million pounds. against S39,300 pounds in 1909. From Peru the importations in considerable quantities extend over a much longer term of years. having averaged more than one million pounds per annum in the deca de. 1892-1901, advancing to four million in 1907 anid six andr three fourth million in 1910. FromP Mexico the quantity imported has greatly flnctuated, from eleven million pounds in 1907 to but 122,266 pounds in 1910. this marked reduction being presum ably due, in part at least, to the de velopment of the cotton manufactur in:g industry in that country. Meantime with the steady growth ~in imlpor'tations of cotton-those of 1910 having been, with three exce.p tions, 1902, 1907 and 1909, the largest on record--the quantity ~of American cotton consumed in our own markets is rapidly increasing, having grown from 1,000.000 bales in 1870- to a lit tie less than 2,000,000 bales' in 1880. 2,600,006 bailes in 1890, 3,606,000 bales in 1900, and over 5,000,000 &ales in 1908 and 1909, "While the share which Southern mills taike of this total has increased from less than 10 per cent in 1870 to practically 50 per cent in 1909. and figures p'ublished by the bu reau of statistics indicate that the amount of cotton consunted by South ern mills in the cotton year 1910 ac tually exe-eeded t.hat consumed by Northern mills Close Observer. The class was being questioned on the cardinal points of the compass. Teacher--If I turn :o the east and look at the rising sun, what is behind me? Boy--Yer shadder.-Manchester Guardian.
