am sure that Japan will yet be
a great resort for American tourists.
Before coming to New York I had
visited Europe, and the that
has struck me most since I arrived
here is that this country is very
much like the European countries I
have seen. The streets there and
here are the same; the residences
and business buildings are the same;
so arc the manners customs, the
garb, the religion, the theaters, the
food and everything else. do not
understand why so many Americans
go to France, or German y
every year, and why they do not go
to some country that is different
from their own. When the Amer-
travels in Japan he sees things
unlike any he ever saw before. The
people are of another race; we have
ancient history and many things
of antiquity; we have arts that are
all our own; we have a social system
that has descended to us from
historic times; you can go into
Buddhist temples or into playhouses
unlike yours; you can everywhere
notice the abiding influence of our
two great religions, which you call
pagan; you can see novelties of
every kind, all hands, a m-

think that more of the usual
number of Americans have traveled
to Japan this year because of the
revelations made during the war
with China. The war has brought
more fame to Japan than all the
other events that have occurred
since the mythological ages. It has
given the world at large some
edge of Japanese life and character
and history. It has taught mankind
that are not a country of
ans or simpletons, and that we are
not like the Chinese or the
or any other Asiatics. It has made
many intelligent Americans curious .
to learn more about us. It has been j
the means of attracting hundreds of
Americans to the country which .
owes so much to Americans. If as
many Americans as have gone to
Europe this summer had thought of
to Japan both countries would
be benefited. Besides the war,
many books about Japan recently
written by American and European
authors have aided in creating a
new interest in it. There must be
very many of these books. Of all

from the Occupation.
One of the most profitable
of the United States govern-
is found in the coinage of five-
rent nickel pieces and one-cent
bronze pieces. The cost of the
bronze disks from which the cents
are stamped is about twenty cents
per pound, and a pound of them pro-
dollar and forty-six cents.
Nickel ready for coinage costs thirty-
two cents per pound and a pound
produces four dollars and forty-three
cents In rive-cent pieces. The
average profit of on the
coinage of these minor coins for the
past few years has been about six
hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
There is a profit, and a consider-
able one, in of subsidiary
coin, but owing to the fact
that the United States owns several
ounces of bullion which was
purchased at the prevailing high
rate of 1890, the profit In that species
of coinage is not as great as it would
tie if the government should go into
the open market to-day and buy
silver at its market value for this
purpose.
There is a big demand at the
treasury department for bright new
coins of all denominations. Almost
every request that is received from
banks in various sections of the
country for subsidiary coins ask
that bright new ones sent. Every
month the street car companies
banks of the capital city turn Into
the treasury large quantities of
nickels, dimes and quarters, for
which they receive in turn paper
money of large denominations. Of
course the money thus redeemed is
not and there is no demand
for it. The result is that there are
large quantities of such subsidiary
coin in the vaults of the treasury,

Col. J. S. Carr be the next

that Senator or

The tobacco industry has done
much towards the advancement,
of the interests of this section,

the great need of additional bank-

There are those the county

more banking facilities being

ready has- In glancing over the
communication when it was band-

from it, and we arc sure the
author had no such spirit or in-
tent in it. There is no
question that the bank here has
been a great to the town. It
has given every encouragement
to the tobacco market and is
amply able to meet every demand
that comes from that quarter.
But Greenville is growing, and
the needs and is going to
have other enterprises than a
tobacco market, and we take it
that seeing this and knowing
the advantages of banks to a town
thought it an opportune time to
