Thursday, Oct. 12,1905 ?Mi I Strange to say, the Orangeburg Times 1 and Democrat failed to reach this office | : last week. Therefore, we do not know , what reply it made to our editorial, if . *?y. , i * # # | Every editor in South Carolina ought to make an open, square fight for honest < men for public office next year, not only < in the State but in the counties as well, i The press can purify politics if it will. 1 *## 8everal county treasurers have been suspended on account of shortages. Veri ly there is graft all around. The present \ condition of affairs in the State government reminds one too forcibly of the days < fs&k* of carpet bag and negro rule. 1 **# The most important matter in the elec- 1 trie lights election is the board of public ; works. Three good business men should be selected for the position?men who ' will take an interest and pride in the work and run the plant on a strict busi- , ness basis. We want men who will look after the affairs of the plant as closely as they do their own business, and who will 1 show no favoritism to anybody. There 1 Is no use to elect men who will take no interest in it, for they would be mere figure heads. A The Electric Lights Election. H s,. The election to be held in this city on Tuesday, October 24th, for the purpose of i deciding whether the town shall issue < . bonds in a sum not to exceed fifteen ' thousand dollars, at an annual interest 1 fey rate of not more than six per cent., the f bonds to run for forty years, is a most j important one. At this election a board . of public works is also to be elected, composed of three men. The selection of this board is a very important matter, for they will have entire charge of the float' . ing of the bonds and erecting and running the plant. It is essential that safe ( business men be elected, those who will take an interest in the business and look i \ closely after it. Any business to succeed must be closely watched, so our people had best be very careful as to who they ( */ elect as a board of public works. 1 . " We believe it will be well for the town 1 to own the electric light plant. We have ^ always favored municipal ownership of . both water and light plants, for we be- : lieve if a private concern can make ] money out of these things, surely the j town ought to. Then we believe our cit- < izens will get better service and lower : rates. But the plant must be managed in a business like way. Properly managed 1 the town ought to make the plant pay all j expenses and get the street lights practically free, but this cannot be done until j the private lights are considerable. Of < course this could not be done as soon as ^ the plant is erected, but at the end of two < years the plant should be makingmoney. j Ifef ^ The State Fair. ] The Chamber of Commerce of Colum- ] bia, as has been its custom for years, is aparing no efforts to make the approach- 1 ing State Fair one of the most successful * . in its history. j With cotton at 10c. and a wave of pros- , perity sweeping the State, it is expected ( that the attendance will exceed all foim- ] er years. In anticipation of a large crowd ' / the Columbia Street Railway has increas- 3 ed its facilities for handling the visitors j by double tracking its line from the Trans fer Station, or Capitol Square, to the ^ Union Station, thence a belt line circling : the Fair Grounds, which is practically a f double track all the way, and will afford prompt and ample transportation. ] In addition to the usual attractions of j the week, the Chamber of Commerce has i :?i.. engaged the Barkoot Carnival Amuse 1 ? ? ment Company, which, besides a band of 1 its own, has a variety of good clean shows, which will give exhibitions at the ' several street corners, along with a number of free attractions. As usual, the ; theater management has a splendid card for the week. { Those expecting to visit the Fair, which i begins October 24th, and desiring to se- 1 cure boarding and sleeping accommoda- < tions, should at once communicate with * Mr. E. B. Clark, Secretary of the Cham-. 1 ber of Commerce, who is now at work ' 4 arranging to place and care for every visitor to the Fair. G. Frank Bamberg handles the best 1 buggies and wagons, yet the prices 1 are reasonable. 1 ? ] A young lady walked into a store in a j Missouri town and selecting a piece of , cloth asked what it was worth. "Four , kisses per yard," said the polite clerk. ' The fair lady, abashed for a moment said 1 she would take four yards. The cloth 1 was cut off, nicely wrapped up and hand- ' ed to the purchaser, who received it with l a smile and said: "Send the bill around to my grandmother, she will settle for it." , iy . - 2. - ' " _ HOW JAPAN IS PUSHING TRUE Bound to Reach Ends of World to Buy and Sell. BIGHS OF ACTIVITY EVEBYWHEBE Utead Klatdom H'mm Thirty Port* Open to Forticn Tntdo-Osaka, Jo pas'* Liverpool, a Veritable Beehive of Human Industry?How Korean Commerce Has Been Promoted ? Sdcntidc Methods Overcoming lateral Hindrances. Japan, now that peace haa been secured, la evidently preparing for an era of commercial development which promisee to be unparalleled In the history of the Island. Kingdom, says the Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune, Already reports have reached the bureau of manufactures to the effect that Japan is to establish a tine of steamers to 6outh America for the purpose of Importing food product* 1be officials of the bureau say that the purpose of the line is to get cheep wheat from Argentina. Bice eating, even in the army, la giving way to the use of bread made from wheat or from a mixture of wheat and rice or other cereals. As will be seen by refer ii?>?^op#nl ipn,V In BDCt? tu jayCUA O WVUU^l4IM nv?? M. 1904*05 In trade, that country is bound to go out to the ends of the earth to tajty and sell. The Japanese government recently charged its representatives In Brazil to collect and report Information concerning present trade relations and possibilities between Brazil and Japan, with a view to their further development Reviewing recent commercial development in Japan, the bureau of manufactures says: Japan has thirty ports open to foreign trade. At four of these In 1902 Japanese vessels registering 19,609,745 tons and foreign ships of 12,092,615 tons cleared. Osaka, sometimes called the Liverpool of Japan, as Japan is often called the England of the east Is a veritable beehive of human industry. Day and night there Is a ceaseless whirl of wheels, a murmur of machinery, a rattle of carts. It has a million of people. Eight years ago $11,230,000 was appropriated to build docks, im prove Its harbor, etc., with a view to what will be wanted when the Panama canal Is cat Nine million dollars have been spent It Is thought that from $15,000,000 to $20,000,000 more will be expended before the city has what its engineers deem necessary. Everywhere one finds the people busy not only in the work of today, but building for tomorrow. Breakwaters, dikes, piers, wharfs, warehouses equal to those of Liverpool, London or Hamburg are being built. In 1884 the imports of Japan were ralued at $25,000,000, of which the United States supplied $2,000,000 and Great Britain $11,000,000. In 1904 Japan bought $185,000,000, of which we furnished $29,000,000 and Great Britain $37,000,000. The chief items were: Mineral oils 15,500,000 Flour 4,600,000 Raw cotton 4,500,000 Machinery 2,000,000 Iron and steel goods 1,000,000 Leather 1,700,000 [Cotton manufactures 1,100,000 followed by wheat, other cereals, canned provisions, cars and carriages, leaf tobacco and coal, in the order named, the last five showing figures of less than $1,000,000. Japan's exports in 1904 amounted to 5159,000,000. The principal buyers were: United States 150,428,000 [China '. 83,857,000 France 18,087,000 Hong Kong 14,024,000 Korea 10,154.000 [Jreat Britain 8,787,000 Italy 8,011,000 The purchases of the United States amounted to one-third of Japan's total exports. The growth of Japan's exports in the last twenty years is shown by the annexed table, which gives the ralues for the year terminating each Secade. The share of the United States is also shown: Tear.

It Is one of the remarkable features bf Japanese development that even while the recent war was In progress the commercial promotion of Korea by lapan not only never waned, but It bven Increased. The year 1904 was >ne of the best in Korea's history. The war helped rather than hindered trade, the commercial highways being held jpen. Cereals yielded large crops and sold high, both Japan and Russia buying. Labor was abundantly supplied with work at good wages.. Much of this had to do with the movement of t'Twma Thin hrrmcht in millions of lollars of unexpected and unusual noney. It Is Interesting to note that iie Koreans never bad so mucb money to spend and that they spent It freely; bence any Improvement In Korea or n the east Is bound to be followed by advantages to foreign trade. One disadvantage, due doubtless to the war md partly to the Increased wages, was the increased cost of living. This advanced 50 per cent and in some cases iully 100 per cent. Railroads were built in many parts it about $50,000 a mile, fully $8^000t COTTON! The extensive addition to our No. 2. Warehouse now completed enables us to - J? ? store lourxeen muusanu (14,000) bales under cover without trouble. We are advancing money on cotton stored by planters and merchants who prefer not to sell now. Augusta is a large market with a great number of buyers all the year round.

Last year's gold exports were $228?00 less than those of the year previous?not a bad sign if it does not indicate a decreased output of the mines. A large part of the banking business Is in the hands of Japanese and Is tending more and more toward complete absorption by them. Everywhere progress and prosperity are marching hand In band. Natural hindrances to trade are being overcome by scientific methods worthy of the west or by expedients worthy of the east For example, the shallowness of the river at- Chemulpo long hindered the arrival of large vessels. This Is to be obviated by running rails over bridges to two Islands near deep water. The work is being done by the Japanese. Trains are to run from the main * * - - * -a am I ana alongside ox BieuLucra uw&?u w the deep water side of the Islands. Rocks have boen blasted, piers, docks, wharves, etc., built at great cost but It Is believed that the Increase of business expected will more than make up for any probable expenditures. The latest population figures give Korea 6,000,000 people, Including Ham Keung, a province In the north, under Russia before the war. Seoul, the capital, has 200,000 and Is constantly increasing. There are already 50,000 Japanese in the kingdom. BACK YARD HYBRID. Cimuit Seeds Thrown From Kitchen Produce Strange Berries. Mrs. F. M. Roll, a Sault Ste. Marie (Mich.) woman, purchased some common red currants at a grocery store and after making the fruit into palp and straining out the seeds threw the latter from her kitchen window into the back yard, says a Sault Ste. Marie dispatch. From these seeds sprang up four or five shrubs, which were preserved and cultivated in the garden along with other currant bushes. Thjy grew rapidly, and twice this year they have borne fruit The shrub is o much a vine as a bush, while the fruit Is unlike anything ever seen at Sault Ste. Marie before. It grows on stems, like a currant and when Immature is of a greenish cast During the process of ripening it becomes red, at which stage its taste Is bitter, with a flavor much like that of the cranberry. When fully ripened the fruit resembled a^lack cherry and in sire Is about midway between a large currant and a aooseberry. Its flavor then is delicious. It has not the odor nor taste of the black currant nor does it have the flavor of any of the currant family. Some of the berries as well as the vines have been sent to Leo M. Gelsmar, in charge of the upper peninsula agricultural experimental station, who has not yet determined exactly what the fruit is, but will soon render an opinion. An advance or preliminary decision subject to change or confirmation is that the fruit is a new hybrid and a valuable horticultural product. Students From India.
