Cotton Is still klntf in the export yecord* of the Hnlted State*, and its recoitl In the present year Is likely to kurpaiw that of any prececiUnK year. The value of raw cotton exported In t|ie eleven months endinit with May is, according to the preliminary fig ures of th treasury bureau of stall - tics, $.108,747,095. which Is $5,000,000 in excess of the highest eleven months figures heretofore recorded by this preliminary statement.' The highest eleven months' record for any earlier year was that for the eleven months ending with May, 1001, when the total stood at $30:i,407.017. SI oul I the figures for dune of this year equal those of June In the Immediately preceding years, the total for the fis cal year would lie $.117,000,000, dV $4,000,000 In excess of the banner year, 1901. The quantity exported this year is not as great as that of the years 1898, but, owing to the higher prices received, the value Is very much greater than that of those years; and, as already Indicated, larger than that of the the corresponding months of any preceding year. The total quantity exported In the eleven months ending with May, according to the preliminary statement, is :i,481 ,- 353,287 pounds, against 3,208,621,478 pounds in the corresponding mouths iq^jjb'ven 190371.87 of 1901, when the value was $5,000,000 less than at the present time, and 3,721,310,009 pounds In eleven months - of 4898, when the value was $222 r 414,- 180. Thus the total quantity at the present time Is 240,000,000 pounds less than that of the corresponding eleven months oM *98, but the vatue is $86,000,000 in excess of the value for the corresponding period of that year. The average price pel pound of the cotton exported, determined by dividing the number of pounds into the value stated fif the bureau of statistics records, Is, for tlv months ending wjtli May, 190 cents, and for the eleven months end ing with May, 1898, 5.97 cents. Comparing the total values of cot- \ ton exported with those of preceding yean, it may be said that 1903 seems likely to show the largest total value in raw cotton export of any year in the history of our commerce.—tn. 1848 the total value of raw exported cotton was, lu round terms $02,000,- 000; In 1860, $192,000,000: in 1870, $227,000,000, but $184,000,000 stated- in gold; in 1880, $211,000,000; In 1890, $260,000,000; In 1900, $242,000,000; ill 1901, $313,100,000,-and, as already in dicated, seems likely to Ih;, for 1903. $317,000,000. Meantime the value of cottoir ex ported In manufactured form has also — increased, and will make its highest record in the present fiscal year. The total value of cotton manufactures ex ported In the ten months ending with April is $27,932,^59, Indicating that the total for the full iisc.'.l year will probably be about $34,000,000, against $33,000,000 In 1902, $24,000,000 in 1900, $10,000,000in 1890, $10,000,000 in 1880 and $4,000,000 in 1970. ytt the same time the cotton manu facturers of the United States have. Increased and are still Increasing their consumption of cotton both from our own fields and from abroad. The total number of bales taken by the mills of - the United States last year .for the first time passed the 4,000,000 line, the figures being -4,083,000 bales, against 3,644,0C0 in 1900, 3,325,000 -•bak* in 1890; l,79«,0OO bales In two; and 857,000 bales in 1870. Meanwhile the Importations of foreign cotton, chiefly Egyptian, are growing with remarkable rapidity, the importation in the present year being likely to reach 80,000,000 pounds, to which may be added 20, - 000,000 pounds of “flocks" or cotton waste, with a total valuation of about $12,000,000 against 43,000,000 pounds of waste imported in 1893, valued at less than $5,000,000. A Bad Fellow. Jim Wiloox, twice convicted of the murder of Nellie Cropsey, left Eliza beth City, N. C., Thursday to begin his thirty years’ sentence in the peni tentiary at Ealeigh. Previous to the arrival of the officers at the jail he of fered to sell the jailer a pistol, and to his amazement took a thirty-eight calibre revolver from his pocket and fired three shots; then gave it to the jailer. He claimed that he carried this pistol during both trials. It was fastened to hfs leg by his garter. When the officers appeared he had : to be carried from the jail by force, llg, cursed and swore at them, refused to wear ft neat suit of clothes provided by ^|ather and insisted on wearing did trousers and worn shoes., lie saad to the sheriff: “1 shall not stay at the penitentiary.

The story Is briefly told in the letter of dismissal signed by Postmas ter General Payne, which says: “The charges upon which your re moval Is based relate to your actions In the matter of the letting of the contract for money order forms.

The week was cloudy till near its close, with frequent sbowefsand some excessive rains, especially fri the cen tral and northeastern counties, includ ing Richland, Orangeburg, SUmter, Lee, Kershaw, Qfiesterfleld and Marl boro. There were local rains in other parts of the Ntate, and an average pre cipitation of 2..00 inches. These heavy rains cansed floods that destroyed crops on bottom lands, washed and gullied uplands and destroyed terraces. The rainfall was comparatively light In Williamsburg, Horry and George town counties, where it proved benefi cial. The ground was generally too wet for cultivation during the last two weeks, and fields are becoming very urassy. This condition Is general, and in places threater,s the cotton crop.
