Offices: 412 Cherry Street Our Trade With Great Britain. Some interesting facts albout American commerce with Great Britain are contain ed in the October statement "Trade and Navigation of the United Kingdom,” Just rwelved by the treasury bureau of statis tics! at Washington and sent out today by the Associated Press. This shows that de spite the -mall purchases which the peo ple of the United States are making from Great Britain, ealese to that, country con -1 inue to increase. In nearly all of the great clasxs of goods for which American pnxlu<'« rs an- seeking a market, the Oc tober importations into the United King dom from the United States were In excess of those In preceding years, while the ex ports of manufAettin r« from the United Kingdom to the United States were in most ca.M# smaller dhan those in. earlier years. Imjiorts of bacon from the United States in October. 1898. were £474,840 in value, ngaltmt £363.884 In October. 1897; those of hams, £303,635 against £197,588 in Octo ber of last year: of butter £34.097, against £30,728; lard. £200,137, against £166,755; flour, £640,164 against *521.592; oats £178,827. against *73.931; lead, £41,037, against £36,611; copper, unwrought and part wrought, £129,677, against £73,931; tallow, £35,660, against £3.429: hewn ■wood and timber £54,012, against £37,714: wood .split, planed or dressed, £137,657, m- iinst. £91,869; leather, £274,683, against £ 175,723. On the other hand, the exports from Great Britain to the United States are In nearly all casro similar to those in Oc lobor, 1897. despite the fact that they were abnormally mnall In that month because of the excessive importations in the months Just preceding the enactment of ■the revenue law in July of that year. Ex portis of wool Into the United States in l October, 1898 were valued at £13,611, against £25,418 in October, 1897; those of cotton pieces goods were 3,283,200 yards against 3,3b1,700 in October, 1897, and 3.447,200 In October 1896; woolen tissues i howed an Increase over October. 1896, the ■total for October, 1898, being 74,900 yards, tigalnst 29.200 in October, 1897. and 467,000 lin October, 1896. The exports of worsted tissues were 693,600 yards in October, 1898. against 489,300 in October, 1897. and 1.355,400 in October, 1896. The exjiorts of hardware from Great Britain Io the United Slates in October, 1898, were £3,621, against £7.383 in Octo ber of last year, and $16,662 in October, 1896. Rx|>orte of wire or iron ore steel were In October of the present year £3,537 In value, against £3,575 in October of last, year, and £1,961 in October, 1896.

Those of black plates for tinning mounted to only £75 in October 189';, against £ll2 in October, 1897, and €1.679 in October, 1896. being £41.954 in Oct bcr‘ 1898; C 39.209 in Octo ber. 1897. and £61.178 in October, 1896. 'Writing on printing paper and envelopes amounted in October of the present year to £Bll. and in October of last year to £I.BBO. Tn certain lines of manii'facturod articles, such as linens, cotton, woolen and silk goods, carpeits and clothing, October of the presen' year shows a slight increase over the ex|»orts of the corresponding month of last year, but in many cases falls below October, 1596. » in one particular the exports from Great Britain to the United States show a mark ed increase, and this is in the class of the • articles required in the great industries of this country. Os Jute yarn used in manufacturing the exports to the United States in October, 1898, amounted to 102,- 000 pounds, -.gainst GOO pounds in October of last year and 13,900 pounds in October. 1896, while those of Jute piece goods, used largely for bagging for grains and cotton.

IS9S. exports were 9.500 pounds against 58.300 pounds in October, 1597, and 47.C00 pounds in Octo ber, 1896. The Negro in New York. The people of the North as a rule insist on social -equality for the negro—in the South. But when the proposition is brought home to them they object quite as stren ously as do the people of the South. Os course there are a few exceptions; men and womefi who have their own social caste and who are content with negro as sociates. In New York city for instance the so cial status of the negro is practically the • same as in the South, a fact well demon strated by a recent occurrence in that city. - *»>< (According to a story in the New York Journal one of the prettiest residence dis tricts in East New York is agitated over the prospect of having a negro family' planted in a Queen Anno cottage, sur rounded on all sides by beautiful homes. The agitation bas been brought about by William J. Bennett, who owns and occu pies an eleven room house at No. 104 Hen drix street. On acount of trouble with neighbors he has decided to move. It is said a desire to play even to the best of his ability he has advertised the house to rent to a negro family. The trouble with the neighbors dates back some three years, when Mr. Ben nett's little boy quarrelled with the chil dren of a man who lives next doer. Mr. Bennett asserts that two months ago a box of poisoned candy was thrown into h.s yard, and if he had not discovered it In time his boy would have found it and eaten it. Mr. Bennett thinks be has found a tenant. “The house cost me SB,OOO. and is hand somely decorated,” said Mr. Bennett “It should rent for S6O a month, and I have been repeatedly offered SSO a month for it, but I prefer to rent it to a negro family for S3O a month. Why I want to rent my house to a negro family ig my own busi , nes«.” This in New York city. And yet we - find similar conditions existing here in the South without complaint on the part of the whites. Even in one of the choicest residence sections of Macon we find a ne gro family occupying a residence in the midst of some of the most prominent fam- - Hies of the community. And yet the nelgh , bors are not agitated over the affair. There is a good deal of hypocrisy in the . North’s love for the negro. The aver . age Northerner loves the negro at a distance; just as many of our people love the down-trodden Cuban. When brought . in close contact with him we take him at what he is worth. Cable Connection With Hawaii. A special to the New York World from Washington states that a cable line be tween the United States and the Hawaiian islands wil undoubtedly be provided for The correspondent is informed by an offi cial close to the president that in hie an nual message the president will suggest the advisability of a cable connection be tween San Francisco and Honolulu. The Bennett Hawaiian cable bill, now pend ing before the house committe on inter state commerce, is looked upon with con siderable favor and the probilities are that it will be taken up and passed. The Bennet measure provides for the granting of certain concessions by this government to the Pacific company and guarantees bonds of the company in con sideration of the free transmission of government mesages over the line for a peroid of twenty years. A Sure Cure. A good deal has been sai l and written about tax dodgers, but so far no one has offered a plan that will bring about a full return of personal property, wherein lies the chief trouble with our tax laws. Although the remedy may be a drastic one, there is a plan that suggests itself which would prove a sure cure for this favorite •form of tax dodging. It is easily i explained and even more easily enforced —tn fact, it will enforce Itself. Just let the Legislature pass a law nul lifying every insurance policy on personal ■ property over and above the amount re turned for taxation. Then we will see the owners of palatial homes returning the full value of their furniture, etc, instead of giving it in at a valuation of a few hundred dollars, as is now the case. There will be no trouble about the enforcement of such a law, for every insurance company will gladly take advantage of the provision whenever a violation occurs. And a similar law will quite as easily bring out a full return of 'bonds, mort gages, etc. If such securities are nullified when not returned for taxation, the amount now shown on -the tax books of the stale will increase a thousand fold at once. The present law is shamelessly violated in both of the above instances, and it is only fair to the honest tax payers of the state to bring this class of property to light, no matter how drastic may be the remedy. The celebration of Thanksgiving Day in the United States this year was about the ‘ most quiet ever known. The trouble was that the people with a lot of new countries on their hands, were not quite sure as to the exact degree of gratitude they should manifest. The man who bought the white elephant was not particularly joyful. The arrival of the new rifles for the sol diers stationed in Macon would indicate that Uncle Sam had not gone out of the military business altogether, and that he realizes the truth of history, that the mus ket must precede the schoolmaster’s rod in the work of civilizing semi-barbarous countries. Cardinal Gibbons is in favor of the re strictions. of the suffrage by property qualification as a solution of the race question. 'Meantime it is to be noted that the Mississippi and South Carolina laws appear to working very well. Representative Ellis has embraced a good measure in his bill to extend the voting hours. Polls should never close until after the factory whistle has blown. Spain again demands the last minute before signing the contract. ' Never was there a nation which could see so short a distance beyond the point of its nose. And are l inter-collegiate athletic con tests also to be put under the ban? We used to be told that all work and no play made Jack a dull boy. Rev. Dr. Young J. Allen says that “we have never understood the Chinese.” How could we? The Chinese do not appear to understand themselves. The “open door” policy means that we shall do as we please when it conies to showing our unwelcome guest the back door. It 'Will be a wild hour in the House of Representatives when General Joe Wheeler shall appear in his seat. General Wood has read some history himself and is not inclined to the carpet bag system of government. COMMENDS THE NEWS FOR FAIRNESS Editor Evening News: I have followed your course throughout this prohibition campaign with considera ble interest; for you and I really agree on most matters of public interest, although we are widely apart this time. Though T differ with you on your prohibition views. T want to say that you have confirmed the • opinion I have always held of your paper. I. e„ that it always fights in the open and can be relied on to state its position frankly and fearlessly. One of the most honest things that I have seen in any pa per for a long time was your editorial of Tuesday last on “The Issue Before Us.” I was glad to see you take higher .ground than some of our anti-prohibition, friends are taking, and I was glad, too. that you stated your views in your editorial col umns. thereby assuming full responsibility for what you had to say, instead of using a “nom de plume” to hide your identity. While I don’t think you arb correct in your position. I must give you credit for candor and fairness. A Reader. MOZLEY’S LEMON ELIXIR. A PLEASANT LEMON DRINK.

ROYAL BAXIHG POWDER CO., NEW YORK. A IteKUter of Old 1.0na.,,,. AlthougJi our British metropolis has been greatly improved during the last half oentury, both as regards sanitation and architectural beauty, the cost, in the loss of manj’ picturesque features and build ings of historic interest, has been very gn at. Builders, speculators, vestries and those who have to do with this exchange of new things for old rather pride them selves upon having no sentimental feeling about relics of past times and past phases of life, and these have too often been swept away without a regret. Happily this will bo so no longer. Some years ago the late William Morris organ ized a society to protect ancient buildings, and in connection with this society a com mittee was appointed for the purpose of compiling a register of old things worth preserving and beauty spots liable to be defaced within an area comprising a large part of greater London. It may be a building, an open space, a beautiful tree, or even a signboard. The Item, whatever it be, is catalogued, and its description is accompanied by careful plans, drawings and photographs. More than this, the committee lias ob tained the recognition of the London county council, and the outcome of this is that a permanent body Ims been appointed to make a register or list of buildings of historic or architectural interest. It is still more satisfactory to learn that by an act passed this session the council has ac quired power to purchase or provide for the maintenance of buildings or places which come under the same description —ChaniboYq’ Journa 1 . Vanity in women is forgivable. It was Nature’s in i tention that wo- A man should be 1 vain of her per -4 soual appearance, | and the woman I who fails of this I fails of her full j womanhood. No J woman should be satis fie d to go j through the world f with a complex- Y ion made hideous by unsightly ® blotches, pimples and eruptions. SB No woman should T be satisfied to 1 have a sallow, sickly complex ion. 1 \\ BBS > The remedy for these conditions does not lie in cosmetics. Skin disease is caused by impurities in the blood, and by nervous disorders due to weakness and disease of the distinctly feminine organism. Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is the greatest of all known blood-purifiers. It not only drives all impurities from the life stream, but fills it with the rich, life-giving elements of the food. Dr. Pierce’s Favor ite Prescription acts directly on the delicate and important organs that bear the burdens of wifehood and motherhood. It makes them pure, strong, well and vigorous. A course of these two great medicines will transform a weak, sickly, nervous, despond ent woman, who suffers from unsightly eruptions of the skin, into a healthy, happy, amiable companion, with a skin that is clear and wholesome. These medicines are made from herbs and roots, and contain no minerals of any description. They sim ply assist the natural processes of assimila tion, secretion and excretion. Medicine dealers sell them. It is a druggist’s business to give you, not to tell you, what you want. ‘‘About four years ago,” writes Thomas Har ris, of Wakefield Station, Sussex Co., Va., “my daughter Helen was afflicted with eczema in a distressing form.

The out put of that company’s mines for the fiscal year ending on May 31, 1898, was 6.122,- 270 fine ounces of silver. The Anaconda Copper Mining company, in Montana, came second, with a production of 5,074,- 036 ounces of silver It is worth noting that in both of these mines the silver is produced in connection with other metals —at Broken Hill with lead and at Ana conda with copper The latter is princi pally a copper mine, since the metal forms the greater part of the value of its ores. The Compania Huanchaca de Bolivia has had the operation of its mines serious ly interfered with for the last two years by water and other mishaps. Its produc tion in 1897 was 151,995 kilograms, or 4.886,673 ounces, of silver. This is not much more than one-half of the maximum output, which was reached in 1893 and was 281,007 kilograms, or 9,034,385 ounces.—Engineering and Mining Jour nal. Kitchener's Discipline. For 15 years General Kitchener has worked his officers and men mercilessly. The regulations of the Egyptian army al low no married men on the staff or in places of responsibility. Marriage inter feres with tropical work. Sick leave is given to any officer who breaks down once. A second illness severs the connec tion between any officer in Kitchener’s force and the Egyptian army. The men who have fought under Kitchener and who are now’ returning by twos and threes to London say that when one goes forth to battle under their iron general victory is assured, and when men trust their lead er it is equivalent to the addition of many battalions to the army. Kitchener was cold as ice when there was work to do, but he broke down and wept bitterly at the burial service of Gordon, which was held in the ruins of the palace at Khartum on Sunday, Sept. 4. He is a Liberal, and his stern character is strengthened by profound religious conviction. CA-STOHTA..
