TRADE BETWEEN THE ATLANTIC
AND THE PACIFIC.
whpn the .Panama canal is under
consideration, people 1 generally have
a mind only to the possibilities or
commerce with the Latin Americas
and the Orient. They hardly ever
think of our own vast : Pacific slope
country, and yet the probability, is
that the, great commerce that will be
done for many years through the Isth
mian waterway will be the coastwise
business that is to be exchanged be
tween, tbi"' Atlantic and the Pacific
ports of this country. .
Just at: Dresentr we little dream of
the ippssibilities ! of thi inter-ocean,
trade, but the'chief reason is that in
a . large sense wtv are. not maritime
Deonle. Had. we been so, we would
long "ago have made a study of our

That is true. The trade is not all

we would not be at all surprised to
see this inter-ocean trade develop on
large scale. The Manufacturers'

GEORGIA'S CORN-SHIPPING
COUNTY.
-In view of the fact that the time
will soonjbe here for planting corn in
eastern North Carolina,- where we
have "greatly increased our corn pro
duction during the past few years,
it
will not be out of place to refer to the
fact, that Georgia has a county which
has ' reversed itself on the corn propo
sition It is the county: of Pelham
which used to buy -Western corn, but
now comes the Pelham Journal with
the cheering information that for the
first time Pelham has shipped a car
load of corn to an adjoining county.
The grain was bought from different
farmers In the county, and the Pelham
paper notes that it is the first time the
local demand has not been greater
than the supply. The car contained
l -bushels and -'it was sold to neigh
fnrmprR flt 7, cent l buAel
boriner farmers at 75 cents a bushel.
Doubtless, those who bought could
have produced their own corn at 25
