Cotton in still kitm in liie export
records of the United States, and its
record in the present year is likely to
surpass that or any preceedinp: year, j
The value of raw cotton exported in
the eleven months endincr with May
Is, according to liic preliminary hgures
of th treasury bureau of stall tics,
$.108,747,095, which is $5,000,000
in excess ol' 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, HUM, when the
total stood at $303,497,017. SI oul I
the figures for June of this year equal
those of June In the immediately
preceding years, the total for the fiscal
year would be $.'117,000,000, or
$4,000,000 in excess of the banner
year, 1001. The quantity exported
tills 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
thin 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 3,481,353,287
pounds, against 3,208,021,478
pounds in the corresponding months
of 1001, when the value was $5,000,000
less than at the present time, and
3,721,310,000 pounds in eleven months
of 1808. when the value was $222,411,180.
Thus the total quantity at the
present time is 210,000,000 pounds
less than that of the corresponding
eleven months of 1898, but the value
is $80,000,000 in excess of the value
for the corresponding peril d of that
year. The average price per pound
of the cotton exported, determined by
dividing the number of pounds into
the value stated by the bureau of
statistics records, is, for the eleven
months ending with May, 1903, *.s7
cents, and for the eleven months endi.?.

Comparing the total values of rotton
exported with those of preceding
years, it may lie said that 1 *.??>:: seems
likely to show the largest total value
in raw cotton export of any year in
the history of our commerce. In
1848 the total value of raw exported
cotton was, in round terms $02,000.000:
In 1800, $102,000,000; in Is70.
$227,000,000, hut $1* 1,000,000 stated
in gold; in 1880, $211,000,000: in 1800,
$250,000,000; in 1000, $242,000,000: in
1001, $313, 400,000, and, as already indicated,
seems likely to he. for looa,
$-117,000,000.
Meantime the value of cotton exported
In manufactured form has also
b "'*! hlifl ?? "'U1,it-* I (I*.'1
record in the present liscal year. The
total value of cotton manufactures exported
in the ten months ending with
April is $27,932,550, indicating that
the total tor the full fiscal year will
in 1880 and $4,000,000 in 1870.
At the same time the cotton manufacturers
of the 1'nitcd States have
increased and are still increasing their
consumption of cotton both from our
own tields and from abroad. The total
numlier of hales taken by the mills of
the United States last year for the
first time passed the 1.000,000 line,
the figures being 1,083,000 hales,
against 3,(54 4,010 in l!?00, 3,325,000
bales in 1800; 1,705,000 bales in 1880,
and 857,000 bales in 1870.
Meanwhile the importations of
foreign cotton, chiefly Kgyptlan, are
growing with remarkable rapidity,
the importation in the present year
being likely to reach 80,000,000
pounds, to which may he added 20,000,000
pounds of "Mocks" or cotton
waste, witli a total valuation of about
$12,000,000 against 13,ooo,uoo pounds
of waste imnnrled in 1 sua v:.liu>,l -it
less 11luii $5,000,000.

T. Metoftlf, for many years superintendent
of the money order system of
the postotflce department, Wednesday
was removed from office by the postmaster
general. The dismissal Is the
result of acts of Mr. Metealf in opposition
to the hid of l'aul Herman of
llutherford, N. J., the lowest bidder
by $45,000 and in favor of the next
highest bidder, the Wynkoon. I fallen

The story is brielly told in Life
letter of dismissal signed by Postmaster
General Payne, which says:
"The charges upon which your removal
is based relate to your actions
in tlie matter of the letting of the
contract for money order forms. These
charges were made known to you
Wednesday morning, and a transcript
of your answer thereto is enclosed
herewith.
"It appears from your answer that
when the proposals of the dilfcrent
competitors for the contract for supplying
money order forms were opened,
Paul Herman of Kutherford, N. .1.,
(formerly employed as foreman by the
Wynkoop, Ilallenbeck. Crawford company
of New York, by which company
it seems your son is also employed.)

proposal lieing $ I.*>,000 below that of
next lowest bidder, namely, the Wynkoop,
Ilallenbeck, Crawford company:
that the bid of Mr. Herman as sub
mittcd was regular in form, and that
he had deposited a certified check for
*.">,000 as a forfeit, it further appears
that within a day or two the Wynkoop,
Ilallenbeck, Crawford company
filed a protest against awarding tin
contract to Herman, alleging that he
was not financially responsible; that
a short time thereafter Mr. Herman
called at your otllce, and you advised
him to withdraw his bid and reenter
the employ of Wynkoop, Ilallenbeck,
Crawford company, understanding at
the time that such withdrawal would
result in the contract being awarded
to said company and consequently ii
a loss to the government: that you offered
to write, and did write, a lettei
to said company, apprising it of youi
interview with Herman, and usiug
your good oil Ices in his behalf: that
you advised Herman that his $.">,00(
deposit would probably be returned ti
him if be adopted your suggestion
it further appears tliat you regarded
Mr. Herman as possessing the me
chunical qualifications requisite to tin
proper performance of the contract
and that it was not any part of youi
duty to p;iss upon the question of hiresponsibility,
financial or otherwise

assisted in the drawing of the .specifications

Herman had become a competitor of

protested against Herman's hid on the
ground that lie lacked the facilities lor

for a hearing, which First Assistant

The condition of cotton has improv- "

growth, which has been slow, and the
plants arc smaller than usual to the '
season. Squares have been noted in '
only a few localities. Lice infest tiolds '
1 i:i the central counties. The crop is '
everywhere in urgent need of oultiva- '
tion and warmer weather, to save it '

also president ?>f the Medieal Hoard of Examiners of South Carolina
until In1 resigned to move to Greenville, says:
Greenville, S. C., October 10, liio*2.
After a service ol one season at White. Stone Lithia Springs, as resident
physician. 1 do not hesitat< to say that the elTect of the water upon those who
drink it for any length of tlino, lias been perfectly marvelous. Invariably an
increase both in llesli and appetite was perceptihfe in one week, proving 'it. to
be a mineral water of undoubted powerful tonic property. Its peculiar adaptability
to diseases originating from disorders of the kidm vs. bladder and liver,
such as dropsy. Bl ight's disease, diabetes and uric acid calculi, and all forms of
dyspepsia, rheumatism and gout, is to be expected from the splendid analysis,
li has been noted frequently that visitors before coming here had to follow
every meal with some form of corrective, or confine t hemselves cut irely to
predigested foods: soon discarded these entirely, being delighted to find that
the water alone -nature's own remedy sutMced.
< if t tie many who drank Ibis water this season for ten days consecutively,
not. one but experienced decided benefit and a jiercept iblc gain weight, varying
from two to five pounds. L C. STEPHENS. M. D.
