WEDNESDAY. MAY 27. South Produces Three Times as Much Cotton Now as in 1860 And the Selling Price Has Doubled, Declares Ellison A, Smyth of South Carolina Before Foreign Trade Conven tion in Washington. -• -- Washington. —“ Commercial Condi ;ions in Southern States with Special Reference to Foreign Trade,’’ were reported upon by EUison A. Smyth, president of the Cotton Manufactur ers' Association of South Carolina, in tr. address today before the National Foreign Trade Convention. With three times as large a produc tion of cotton as in 1860 and with a selling price which has doubled, the Southern States are in particularly advantageous position for the devep opment of foreign trade, the speaker declared. Aside from shipments of raw cot ton there was a constantly widening field for export of cotton fabrics—a world s trade which amounts to some f 1.200,000,000 annually, he said. The United States, with 22 per cent of the spindles and two-thirds of the raw material, was cutting into this huge trade to the extent of only five per cent annually. He pointed to Africa and the Phil ippines as the most promising field, for present development of export trade from the Southern states. “Af rica,’’ he said, “with a population of 170,000,000 or more than that of North and South America combined, prom ises to be one of the largest markets for cotton goods in the world.’’ Par ticularly since climatic conditions make cotton the principal material lor clothing; and the development of natural resources of the country is so rapidly enhancing the purchasing poewr of the natives. “It is a field," he said, “well worth the attention of American cotton manufacturers.’’ "Our exports in cotton goods to the Philippines during the past year have increased 100 per cent,” he continued —“a trade in which the Southern cotton mills hold a commanding po sition.” “The situation of our export trade, however,” he continued, “calls for a co-operative and well organized cam paign to not on'” hold the business we now have but to enlarge it, and the Southern cotton mills who are now prepared to cater to the export trade are not only willing but anxious to join in any effort that will lead to greater development and greater vol ume of the export trade. We believe that the export trade for the markets abroad should not be regarded as a dumping ground for goods that could not behold at home, but we should realize that our mills exceed now the consumptive capacity of the home trade and ever: effort should be made to extend our export trade in all productions and in all directions.” 4 DAYS —REMAIN —4 DAYS Of Positively the Best Offer of the Entire Contest.

William Jennings Bryan and An drew' Carnegie both declare them selves to be apostles of peace, but the genuine "blown in the bottle" advo cate of peace at home and abroad was Joseph Haydn. Althcugh his life-path had more thorns than roses by its way, it is recorded that Joseph never once “answ'ered back” when his wife nagged him. When Joseph was a young man he fell in love with a beau tiful girl, but his affection was not returned. The young girl said she feared her “gentleman friend” loved his harpischord more than he did her self, so she straightw’ay became a nun. Joseph liked her family so he paid court to her elder sister, three years his senior, and they were mar ried on his 28th birthday anniver sary.

My kidneys were disordered and at night my back pained me so badly I couldn’t rest. 1 got relief from the first few doses of Doan’s Kidney Pills' and I felt much better in every way after I had finished one box.
