the following to say touching 01
ports:
"Cotton is king of^the export i
of the United States for the fisca
just ended.
"The total value of raw cor:
ported for the first time crosse
$400,000,000 line and exceeded t
the value of any other artic!?
merchandise sent out of this coi
The exports cf breadstuffs of
I kinds reached SIS6,000,000, tho
j provisions $211,000,000 and tho
I iron and steel manufacture 5
! 000,000.
I "Cotton exports during the last
j years have increased very rapid!
? was not until ?901 that it crosse<
$300,000,000 line and in the five :
it has grown to more than $400,
000 or an increase of about tr
three per cent. This growth is di
part to an increase in the quantit;
ported, but in part also to the
vance in price since the quantity
ported in 1906 was about 700.,00<
pounds less than in 1905, while
value was $21.Oe0,000 more tba
1905.
"Exportations cf manufact
cotton were also greater in. 1906 :
in any earlier year, amounting
$53.000.000 against $50,000,000
1905 and $22,500,000 in 1904.
growth in exports of manufacti
cotton has been quite as striking
that of the raw material.
"Europe is, of course, the princ
customer of raw cotton. The Un
Kingdom took last year $177,0
000 worth. Germany $10?000,i
France, $45,000,000, and Italy at
$27,000,000 while the other count
of Europe took $32,000,000 wo
.Japan is also a customer for our 3
cotton, but very irregular in
quantity bought, since it only b
largely of American cotton wi
prices are low, relying upon In
and China in years when Ameri<
prices are high. The value of cot
exported to Japan in the seal year
1906 was in round terms $S,000,0
In 1905 $17,000,000, and in i~04 1
than $3,000,000. .
"In manufactured cottons China
by far our greatest customer. T
total value of all cotton rnanufac?n
exported in the fiscal year 1906 v?
$53.000.000 in round terms, cf whi
about $30.000,000 went to Chii
Practically all of the cotton goods se
to China was in the form of cloth. T
total value of cotton cloth export
to China in the year being $29,64:

We sum "up the year's business
cotton as follows:

Outlook For thc Growing Crop an
j Prices.
j In summing up the conditions 0
j the growing crop it may be said tha
j they are at this date very favorabl
J for a satisfactory yield. It must b
\ taken into consideration, however
j that it is y-1 two months before <
j ?aige part 01 the crop can matur?
j and be assn:. J: hence, it is pur?
; guess work to e >unt upon the r.umbe:
I ?f bales of c ".ton to be secured anc
j predicate prices upon such an esti
. mate.
j There are : I ways elements of un
I certainly ab >; the outcome of a cot
j ton crop until it has been harvested.
! Only two y. .- ago the great spinning
! interest of .vorld manifested greal
. a tarro that ? supply of raw cotton
? at reasor.r : ; . ~ would continue
j inadequate lo aeci their wants com
I fortably, and they sought to find new
j sources of supply, other than the
[ United 'States, to overcome the de
? ficiency-thus far, we beii< ve, with
! out success. Today the same element
seems apprehensive than an over?
supply of the raw material might r< -
: suit from the present growing crop,
and this delusion has depressed prices
j nearly two cents per pound.
I The production of cotton now is far
j \
' more expensive than ten years ago;
j perhaps 1 1-2 cents per pound have
j been added to tho runter?' expenses,
by increased va
plantation utensils, .supplies, and par?
ticularly labor, which is scarce and
high priced in ali sections of the
Southern States.
In round figures the last two
crops of American cotton have
amounted to 2 5,000.000 bales, and
were sold in the markets of the world
for some $1.200.000.000.
This enormous supply of cotton
was eagerly purchased and went in?
to consumption at highly satisfactory
prices to the most sanguine producers
and we are encouraged to believe
that even a larger proportionate con?
sumption may confidently be expected
during- the ensuing year.
The spinning capacity of the world
largely increased last year and has
been increasing at an enormous rate
for several years either by the erection
of mills or the application of im?
proved machinery to old ones.
Our advices are that the stocks 'of
raw material in the hands of manu?
facturers are in very moderate sup?
ply, and many mills are under con?
tract far into the future for their en?
tire output; hence, there is likely to
be an active demand for the new
crop.
Universal prosperity everywhere
seems assured for some time to come
in the United States particularly
business conditions were never more
favorable for large consumption of
cotton goods. Labor is not fuly em?
ployed at high wages, but scarce.
Crops of ail descriptions are bountiful
and the great consuming masses of
the people will have the capacity to
buy cotton goods liberally.
In view of the foregoing, it seems
to us that continued prosperity may be
expected in all branches of the cotton
trade for a long time to come, and
that present low prices have already
discounted a very large crop not yet
assured. Very truly,
Latham, Alexander & Co.
Gambling.
We note with sorrow two sad ex?
amples of the results of gambling. A
prominent and long trusted head of a
great people's bank in Chicago has
disappeared with hundreds of thou?
sands of the hard earnings of the
poor. In Birmingham a young man
of fine family and high social stand?
ing confessed himself a defaulter for
$100,000 and gives as the cause,
gambling in cotton futures. These are
only two of the many cases that
might be cited. Gambling must
cease.
The clouds of public sentiment
against gambling, which have been
gathering and filling for years, are
beginning to break in showers of op?
position in certain parts of our coun?
try and threaten to become a storm
before which this stronghold of vice
and crime shall be utterly demolish?
ed. Too long sentiment has slumber?
ed. Too long this destroyer of
wealthy men and souls has been un?
molested. At last tardy justice is
beginning to arouse and great may
her full awakening be! It is a hope?
ful sign that a tide is seen to be
rising against gambling. Too long
the public, the press and the pulpit
have been all but tolerant, while the
fiower of the young manhood has
been destroyed by the lust of gam?
bling. IL is utterly inconceivable
how gambling, in its many and varied
forms. >hould have become so firmly
entrenched in the life of such a com?
munity as ours. We must ask with
utter amazement, "Where has the
moral sentiment, the social and civil
conscience, of our people been
through all these years of the past?
How could it have been possible in
this enlightened and socalled Chris?
tian land for such a terrible vice to
fasten upon the public until, like
some hideous vampire, it has sucked
the very life-blood of society. And
how is it still possible for so many
otherwise good people to be so indif?
ferent, or so blind, to the great evil
as they seem today? It is surprising
how prevalent the gambling vice is.
Riding in a car recently a company
of apparently respectable ladies were
frankly and openly talking about
their winnings at the races. In a
public place a number of representa?
tive professional men were exchang?
ing experiences of their netting. Go?
ing into a government building to
transact business with an oficial we
found him eagerly scaning a sport?
ing paper and reading to in.part to a
stranger the latest news from ti e
track. In classes of society and from
individuals where we never dreamed
of such things being tolerated we
have heard 'he parlance of the gam?
bier and found evidences undisguised
of participation in various forms of
gambling. From the fashionable
quarters to the slum, from the street
urchin to the bejeweled matron, from
almost every c'^s- and condition of
society in our country tin* devotees
of chance flock to pool rooms, race
?racks and other places necessarily and
essentially immoral. No person with a
truly refined moral sensibility can
gamble. It is repulsive to a pure,
model character. Gambling is highly
dishonest. The person who can de?
fend any form of gambling is lacking
in the elemental conceptions of
honesty. Xr. honest soul could boar
' - get for nothing the property of
? ?other. See how many defalcations,
embezzlements and other forms o
stealing the gambling habit is re
sponsible for. Gambling will make a
thief of an honest man. Gambling is
unduly exciting and will and creates
abnormal desire for money and dissi?
pation. Thousands of young men are
yearly drawn into the awful vortex of
this whirlpool of death and go down
in sin and disgrace. In view of all
these undisputed facts how can we
account for the silence of so many
who are placed as watchmen on the
walls, What of the silence, and often
secret and sometimes public conni?
vance of the officers who have sworn
to enforce the laws and to protect
the property, homes and lives of the
people? What of the silence of the
teachers whose high and sacred duty
is to shape the destinies and mold the
characters of the youth of our coun?
try? What of the fainthearted as?
semblies, religious editors and others
Who should ,cry aloud and spare not?
Do we as a people lack moral per?
ception of courage. Are our sensibili?
ties blunted and dulled? Are we
blinded by the spirit of commercial?
ism and graft? We hail with delight
hope the showers that have fallen in
places. We take courage that in
places the lightning plays. But it is
time for the full force of the storm to
break. Let the thunders roar and
the lightning strike in every suspect?
ed place! Let the foulness which has
poisoned the moral atmosphere be
swept away and let us breathe the
pure ozone of a new air in which
such a foul thing as gambling cannot
live. God speedily send the day! And
let every lover of God and home
hr.sten its coming!-Greenwood Jour?
nal. ;

DILLON HERALD SEES HOPE.
Thinks House Will Reform Dispen?
sary-Compliments Editor Ayer.
The Dillon Herald says:
"It looks very much like the dis?
pensara- will bave a majority in the
next House, but Still it is very grat?
ifying to noto that there has been a
great improvement in personnel of the
dispensary element. For instance over
in Florence county our good friend,
Hartwell M. Ayer, editor of the Flor?
ence Times, ard one of the best news?
paper men in the State, was elected on
the first ballot. Editor Ayy* is a man
of splendid culture, and possesses a
bread and comprehensive knowledge
of public matters which will be of in?
estimable value to the House in the
adjustment of any measures effecting
legislation. Whatever he does at Co?
lumbia, whether for or against the
dispensary, will be done conscientious?
ly and fearlessly, as he knows no au?
thority in the discharge of public
duty higher than his own."
IS HAPPIEST IX JAIL.
St. George, Sept. 6.-Caesar Shep?
pard, a negro man over 100 years of
age, was committed to the county jail
here today to await the action of the
Court of Common Plear, charged with
threatening and attempting to kill'
Mr. John W. Infinger, a respectable
white citizen of the Indian Fields
section of this county. This old negro
has already served five terms in the
penitentiary, and expresses himself as
being highly pleased with the treat?
ment he received at that institution.
He expresses his willingness to return
to the penitentiary today, and on his
way to jail he asked the constable to
hurry on as quickly as possible, as he
would feel better satisfied in jail.
During one of his terms in the peni
tiary he worked at Clemson College,
where he cooked and waited on the
"boys."
To Exterminate Cattle Ticks.
Washington, September 7.-The
work of exterminating the cattle tick
in the Southern and some of the West?
ern States is progressing satisfacto?
rily, according to a statement made by
Secretary Wilson today. It began in
Virginia and North Carolina where, it
was stated, cordial co-operation is be?
ing given the Department both in
money and the extension of State au?
thority to the Department's officials.
The appropriation for carrying on
the work was ?82,000 and this is be?
ing apportioned in a manlier to accom?
plish the, best results. Some of the
States have not enacted laws extend?
ing financial and other aid to the Gov?
ernment, but Secretary Wilson said
i that even with the sam available
much progress will be made. From
California, Nevada, Oklahoma and
Texas, he said, the reports already re?
ceived give encouragement to the be?
lief that in those States substantial
progress has been made in exterminat?
ing the ticks.
The No A's and Courier insults every
advocate cf thc dispensary when it
says they will not hesitate to resort to
any scheme to accomplish their pur?
pose. The people who uphold the, dis?
pensary in this State are jost as hon?
est and patriotic as those, who honest?
ly oppose that institution.-Orange

DESERT TO INSURGENTS.
Tampa, Fla., ?epfc. 10.-Informa?
tion from Cuoa today says that Alfred
Laborde and 100 men deserted to the
insurgents; that Pino Guerra, leader
of the insurgents sent Laborde back to
the authorities, saying he did not want
such men, but adding that he was
grateful for the men and monitions
that came with the leader. Laborde
was charged recently with murder and
was placed in jail near Habaua. f?e
offered the government that if he
should be paroled he would organize
a hundred men and fight for the gov?
ernment, agreeing to return for trial
after the conclusion of hostilities.
His offer was accepted with the result
that he deserted with his command to !
the rebel leader. Laborde was promi- !

Tili: PRESIDENT S ESCORT.
Two Big Battle Ships and One Small- I

Washington, Sept. 6.-lt has been '

be battleships and one a vessel of J
smaller design. The department has !
not, however, determined which ships j
shall have this honor, and a decision j
on the question will net be reached i

In explaining the reason for sending j

three vessels would accompany Mr.

might take on board the President in :
the event of an accident to the one on j
which,he might be sailing.
A Celebrated Quack.
Count Cagliostro, "the quack of j
quacks," as Carlyle called him, has j
tonnd a biographer who has an aston- j
ishing story to relate of the audacious
swindling of the rcgue. Child of a i
bankrupt father, a thief, a forger, a j
charlatan, Joseph Balsamo, the Italian, j
blossomed into a Marquis in Paris, j
He claimed to possess the secrets of j
the cure of disease, the rejuvenation I
of the.?ged, the concoction of poisons, j
the making of gold, the transforma- j
tion of cotton into ?ilk, the softening
of marble, and all sorts of marvels. |
Forced to leave Paris, after trying his I
luck in Brussels and in Germany, he i
returned to Italy, selling an elixir of (
beauty, transmuting mercury into j
gold, making pearls and diamonds j
larger, etc. It was after he had fleec- j
ed a Spaniard in Cadi/, that he fled to .
London, ultimately figuring as the !
Marquis de Cagliostro. He and his j
wife no longer traveled zs poor pil- ;
grims, but surrounded by couriers,
lackeys and valets in gorgeous liver- !
?es. they journeyed in a private car- j
riage, magnificently dressed and cov-1
ered with diamonds as false as them- j
selves. They scattered money right
and left. It was said that Cagliostro !
could raise the dead, infallibly cure
disease, restore lost youth and vigor,
discover treasure, make the philos?
opher's stone, and foretell tte fu?
ture.
One of Cagliostro's victims was the
Prince Cardinal, Louisde Rohan, a
man of immense wealth, with a weak
head and a natural disposition to dab?
ble in the occult. Too clever to show
any eagerness to make his acquain?
tance, Cagliostro, when the Cardinal
was suffering from asthma and sent
for him, wi?h a fine air of indepen?
dence, answered, "If my Lord Cardi?
nal is ill, he must come here, and I
will core him; if he is well, he does
not want me, nor I him." This
brought Rohan to the feet of the
quack. The Cardinal's faith and ad?
miration were boundless. After the
first interview he told the Abbe
Georget that he desired nothing more
ardently than a close acquaintance.
This closer acquaintance Gagliostro
was wise encngh to withhold ai first.
Dering the Cardinal's ensuing visits he
was reserved, almost hostile; but by
degrees be grew more friendly, acquir?
ing in this way an almost boundless
influence over his dupe. Finally this
sou of a bankrupt shopkeeper told the
descendant of one of the oldest fami?
lies in France: "Your soul is worthy
of mine, and you deserve to be the par?
ticipator of all my secrets." The
Cardinal had before this lodged Cag?
liostro in his palace, putting his
house and servants at his service, and
loading lum with gifts. Cagiiostro re?
ceived ali these favors with the air of
bestowing a favor upon che giver; he
had the art, without asking fer any?
thing, of inducing his victim to show?
er upon him money, jewels, and other
property, which he appeared to take
with reluctance, as if they were
forced upon him.-The London Practi?
tioner.

symptoms of ill health that roll ow are
many and varied. There is often a
feeling of heaviness in the stomach,
there, is distress and nervousness, diz?

Embroideries.
We cannot refrain from saying a few words
about this line, although it hardly seems neces?
sary, as we are thoroughly known as
THE LEADING EMBROIDERY HOUSE,
but some people are of the opinion that we deal
only in high^ classed goods and we want to 1
disabuse their minds of that idea. Our offer?
ings consist of about 15,000 yards and while
ther e are hundreds of yarda of high class novel?
ties from 5G cents to SI a yard a large majority
of the line is of the popular priced goods from
8 1-3 to 25 cents.
You will find that those who buy Embroider?
ies in the old way will be asking an advance of
20 TO 25 PER CENT.
Not so here, if anything we are offering better
values than we have ever done.
