PRESIDENT FI.VLEY OF SOUTH
KKN RAILWAY.
Review of Rapidly Expanding Oom
snerc* of Republic to the South of
Us?TW Importance of Thin Trade
To the South and How It May be
Obtained.
To the Editor of The Item:
Complying with requests from edi?
tor* of newspapers published In the
Southern States for occasional letters
on commercial and economic topics of
Interest to the people of our section.
1 take the liberty of writing to you
on the great Importance of the expan?
sion of our export trade with the Lat?
in-American countries.
This Is a matter of special Impor?
tance to our section, not only because
ef our geogrsphlcal sdvantage with
roferenoe to this trade, which, as to
the Pacific coast countries, will be still
further Increased by the completion
of the Pansma canal, but also because
a large proportion of the commodities
which the countries to the South of
ue Import can be produced and manu?
factured advantageously In the South
era States. A few statistics will show
the great present Importance and fu?
ture possibilities of these markets. In
round figures, the combined area of
Mexico, Central America, South Am?
erica, and the West India Islands Is
t.000,000 square miles, and their com?
bined population is 16.000,000. Their
population Is rapidly Increasing. In
the year 1?07. 329.122 Immigrants ar?
rived in Argentina alone. Among
South American cities, Rio de Janerlo
will soon have a population of 1,000.
?00. and Buenoe Aires, the largent
city In the world south of the equator,
has approximately 1.200.000 inhabi?
tants, and the progressive character
of Its people is shown by the fact that
they are now arranging to put in a
system of under-ground electric rail?
way*
The past ten years have witnessed a
marked change In political and econo?
mic conditions In the Latl-American
countries. Political upheavals are
now of comparatively rare occurrence
and. with few exceptions, these coun
trtee have stable governments which
afford adequate protection to life and
property. They an making rapid
strides In material development. In
former years thsy wore rcrlously ham?
pered by lack of transportation facili?
ties). Their needs In this respect are.
being rapidly supplied. Navigable
streams are being Improved, wagon
roads are blng constructed, and the
Latin-American governments, general?
ly, are pursuing an enlightened policy
of encouragement to railway construc?
tion.
In 1907. for Instance, over 900 miles
of new railway were constructed in
Argentina, making the total length of
of the lines in operation In that coun?
try 1 4 'i ? . , - In frazil 436 mile.*
cf railway Were built in 1907. bringing
the total mileage up to 1 1,369 miles
Mexico has 14.181 miles of railway.
Chile has 1.800 miles of railway, and
In the mounta.n country of Bolivia a
plan of const uction Involving the ex
pedlture of 82T.O0O.000 of goverment-..
and private capital has been adopted
Political stability. Increasing popula?
tion, and Imprcvet leans of trans?
portation are resulting in material
progress and in an Increase in the pur?
chasing power of the Latin-American
peoples, the extent of which. I believe,
Is not generally appreciated In our
country.
The Latin-American countries pro?
duce an abundance of commodities
that are In demand In other lands.
The combined value of their exports,
almost wholly made up of unmanufac?
tured articles. Is about 81.072.000.000
per year. The combined value of
their Imports, composed chiefly of
manufactured artlclee, amounts, ap?
proximately, to 81.005.000.000 per
>ear. Our country is their best con?
sumer In the year ended June SO.
1908, we bought from them commo?
dities to the value of 8287.058.079. In
the same year our sales to them
amounted to 8186.688.181. The Im?
portance of the Latin-American mar?
kets Is indicated not so much by the
present value of the imports Into those
countries as by ths rat'i at which their
purchases from other countries ar?
|n*-r?aslns In lt9t the total value of
their purchases from the United States
was 886.861.867. Comparing the?e
flgures with those for the last fiscal
year, shows sn Increase In ten years
of 8160,770.274. or 176 per cent. In
the same period the total value of our
exports to all the rest of tho world in?
creased a fraction |aaj than 42 pet
cent. Gratifying as this Increase is.
It does not represent what might hav.
been attained If our people had given
more attention to these markets, fhf
many of the countrh
the'r purchases from Ofanf loltaln.
Germany ?? mor.- rap
I thm from the Unifd States, and.
notwlthsfandinr ssjf geographical ad
ventage, they purchase more than
three times as much from other coun?
tries as from gs\ In some market*,
In fsct. we have been losing ground
Por Instance, the July Bulletin of tin
Bureau of American Republics, re- '
viewing the foreign commerce of Bra
ill says: "American cotton manufac- I
turea aro disappearing from the Bra?
zilian market very rapidly, while those
of Great Britain and Germany, made
from American raw material, are rap- I
idly Increaalng." This statement Is
borne out by the latest satlstics avail?
able, those for the nine months ended
September 30, 1908, which show that
we sold to Brazil only 1.46,8,588 yards
of cotton goods during the nine
months, aa compared with 4,543,555
yards during the corresponding months
of the previous year. It would seem
to be worth while for the cotton goods
manufacturers of the South to make an
effort to win back some of this trade
which Is being captured by Great Brit?
ain and Germany.
The demand of the Latin-American
markets is chiefly for manufactured
goods and largely for commodities the
raw materials for which are produced
In our Southern States, and which are
already being manufactured in our
section. Among the articles which I
these countries Import in large quan- I
tltes, and which can advantageously
be produced in the Southern States,
may be enumerated agricultural im- I
plements, all kinds of vehicles, loco
motives, cars, machinery, tools, steel I
rails, builders' hardware, stoves cot- I
ton textiles, vegetable oils, and furnl- I
ture.
While it is a fact that the imports I
into the Latin-American countries
consist almost entirely of manufac- I
tured articles, It does not follow that
Southern manufacturers would be the I
only ones benefltted by an increase in I
exports from our section to those I
countries. On the contrary, the benc- I
fits would be shared by all our people I
For Instance, If an establishment in I
one of our Southern towns engaged In I
the manufacture of stoves or furniture I
can build up an export trade to Mexl- I
co or one to the Central or South
American countries. It means that It
will give employment to more men I
who will buy more goods from the lo- I
cal retail merchants and who will give I
to the farmer a larger home market
for hla producta.
It la to the Interest, not only of the I
South Atlantic and Gulf ports, but o{
our Inland communities as well, thai I
our Latin-American trade?both im- I
port and export?should flow through I
Southern ports. A large proportion of
the commodities which the United I
States Imports from Latin-America are I
consumed In the 8outh. Southern I
manufacturers can supply a large pro- I
portion of the commodities which th<
Lattn-Amerlcan countries buy abroad
It would, therefore be to the advan- I
tage of all concerned if coffee, nitrates,
tropical fruits, mahogany timber, rub- I
ber, and other products of Central I
and South America and the West In?
dies, could be brought Into Southern I
ports In ships which would return I
laden with the products of Southern I
.manufacturing establishment. Fir I
this reason I believe that, In seeking
to develop this Latin-American trade. I
the merchants and manufacturers, not
only of our seaboard cities but of the
interior as well, and Southern trans?
portation lines should all co-operate. I
as far as practicable. In systematic ef- I
forts to guide both Imports and ex- I
ports through Southern ports.
In view of the present Importune ? I
of the Latin-American trade and its!
future possibilities, I believe that the
people of our section of the United I
States may well give It Increased at- I
tentlon. The Federal government, I
through the publications of the Bu- I
reau of Manufactures, Is constantly I
giving valuable Information about
trade opportunities In the Latin-Am- I
erlcan countries, the special needs of I
their markets, and the best methods I
of conducting buslnesa w ith them. The I
International Bureau of American Re- I
publics, to the support of which the
United States is the largest contrlbu- I
tor. Is devoted exclusively to the work
of drawing the Republics of North I
and ftouth America into closer social
and commercial relations. As a re- I
suit of suggestions made to him by I
cltlsenn of the South, Hon. John Bar- I
rett. Director of this Bureau, is now I
contemplating a trip through the
Sou t hem States for the purpose of I
delivering a series of addresses on the
general subject of trade with the I
countries south of the Rio Grande, I
with special reference to the Interest
of the South In that trade. These ad- I
dresses will doubtless be of great |
practical value to our section.
If. however, we are to obtain the I
full benefit of the work that is being
don?? by the Federal government and I
by the Bureau of American Republics,
we must make practical use of the In?
formation which they gather and dls
ssmlnnte. This Is a matter in which I
I believe, w?< should all take an aetiv
interest, and I am writing to you on I
this subject b< eause I know of no I
agency that < an contribute more to I
the bringing about of a broad and I
Intelligent public Interest in the devel- I
oprnent of this trade than Can the I
press of the gaath.

WHAT THE SEWERAGE COST.
The City Will Complete System for
$20,000 Less Than Lowest Bid by
Oon tractor.
The sewerage system is practically
completed and although it has not been
turned over to the city by the Sewer?
age Commission and accepted official?
ly by City Council, it is possible to
state within a few hundred dollars
the entire cost. In advance of the for?
mal acceptance by the City Council of
the completed system, at which time a
detailed report of the cost will be pub?
lished, the following figures taken
from the books of City Treasurer
Hurst will of interest to all Sumter
people, the taxpayers especially.
Number miles sewers 16 2-10. Total
cost to date $91,441.45. This includes
all items of cost?engineering, corn
missions to engineer, pipes, freight,
coment, sand, land for septic tanks ex?
cavation, inspection, pipe-laying, re?
pairing streets, etc. The Sewerage
Commission now has on hand unused
pipe worth $1,350 and other property
and material worth several hundred
dollars that will be turned over to the
city and which should be deducted
from the total cost of the system as
above stated.
Compare this with what the system
would have cost had the work been
done by contract and the saving is ap?
parent.
The lowest bid made by a contrac?
tor was $4,379.11 per mile for excava?
tion, pipe laying and filling trenches.
The city would have had to furnish
all pipe, construct the two septic
tanks, furnish land for tanks and out?
fall and pay the engineer's commis?
sions.
The cost by contract would have
been as follows:
16 miles at $4,377.11.$70,065.76
Pipe. 22,000.00
Two Septic Tanks. 12,000.00
Engineer's commissions. . . 8,000.00
Land and incidentals. 1,000.00
Cost by Contract.$113,065.76
Actual Cost. 91.441.45
Amount Saved.$21,624.31
Credit for Unused Pipe.. . 1,350.00
Net amount saved.$22,974.31
These figures are, of course, sub?
ject to correction when the final re?
port is made up, but the probability
is that the total amount saved by hav?
ing the work done under the super?
vision of the Sewerage Commission
instead of by contract will be greater
than above stated. Another consid?
eration is that the commission has
us< d the host materials obtainable and
haa taken no short cuts to save money
at the expense of the work. It is be?
lieved that the city has a better job
than It would have obtained had the
work been done by a contractor Whose
chief aim would have been to make
as large profit as possible.
The Sewerage Commission has been
criticised from the inception of th.
work, and while they may have made
mistakes in minor details, the results
attained Is a complete vindication of
their judgment and those who have
criticised the commission without a
full knowledge of the facts should
now hold their peace. The writer was
one of those who was confident that
a mistake had been made when it was
decided not to have the work done
by contract, but In view of the grati?
fying success made of the big under?
taking by the commission he is the
first to extend hearty congratulations
to the commission. The City of Sumter
Is also to be congratulated, for a sav?
ing of $20,000 on the cost of the sew?
erage system Is no small matter.

The manner in which Sumter's
streets are littered with hand-bills,
circulars and all sorts of advertising
matter is little short of disgraceful and
something should be done to abate the
nuisance. The enactment and strict
enforcement of an Ordinance similar
to the one that is In force In Colum?
bia would improve conditions. The
Columbia ordinance is as follows:
"It shall be unlawful for any per?
son or persons to distribute, spread

Rear Admiral Coghlan and His "Hoch
Der Kaiser."
All of the papers are printing it
about Rear Admiral Coghlan, who
died recently, that he was the "Hoch
der Kaiser" naval officer. Admiral
Coghlan was regarded by his brother
officers as possessed of an ' unbridled
tongue." He I aid what occurred to
him and refused to think twice before
he spoke once. But other than the
"Hock der Kaiser" incident it was not I
generally known that "his tongue had
gotten him in trouble." We are told
by one newspaper that "he was court- J
martlaled in 1876 and reduced thir- I
teen numbers for writing a letter, con?
taining much profanity, to the chief I
clerk of the navy department. In 1890
he again got into trouble by criticising j
the administration of the navy depa rt- I
ment generally and the way things
were run at Mare Island navy yard in
particular. He next wrote a letter in j
which he quoted the late Senator I
, Voorhees' remark that "Grover Cleve- J
land was a big man because he wore j
a twenty-one inch collar." President j
Cleveland heard of it and this caused I
him the loss of six numbers." j
The "Hoch Der Kaiser" recital, it I
was feared at the time, would cause
international complications, .*speeiall> J
as it occurred at a time when th^rej
was talk in the newspaper press about
the "ugliness" of the German war- J
ship in Manila harbor toward Dewey j
I during the time the American admiral I
had the Spaniards in hand there. The I
"poem" was recited before the Union j
League Club. Major McKinley was
president at the time and the incident
annoyed him very much. He repri- j
manded Admiral Coghlan in a putlic I
letter. But, while the world was roar j
ing with laughter, the news came that j
Emperor William was laughing hearti- I
ly, too, and Major McKinley felt bot- I
ter over the situation. 1
