SEEKING IMPORTATION.

The New York World is seeking the
opinions OF distinguished gentlemen
on the other side of the water, as to
whether they sustain the position of
the, English Government on the Vene-
zuelan boundary dispute between this
and their own country. The World of
course knows It's own business, but TO
the average thinker never was inquiry
more foolish. :
Very few Englishmen OF any note
will SO far forget themselves rs to en-
press an opinion derogatory to their
Government. however much they may
dcplore the dispute arising from the
Venezuelan Issue, and 1t Is therefore
plain that as far as results go the enter
prise of our contemporary Is apt to b.,
valueless. II the World should ask the
Hon. Mr.. Balfour whether he agrees
with his Uncle Salisbury In the position
he has taken, the incident could hardly
be more amusing than the mission in
which 1t is at present engaged.

WHAT WE DID 1919.

The Chattanooga Times recalls the
fact that there were thirty-four naval
combats between this country and Eng.
land in 1872, and that twenty-ssven of
which We're won by the American ships
and squadrons. Tire most famous of oui
naval victories won In that war was won
by Perry, on Lake Erie. over an Eng
llsh squadron, which outnumbered him
In ships and men, and was superior in
weight and metal. At that time Eng
land boosted of the reputation OF be-
Ing mistress fthe seas" but all the
same the United States knocked her
out" Our contemporary holds to the
opinion that victory Is not always to
the strong, and further, that the pres
ent English Navy has not met a 70.
worthy of its name, and. therefore, its
efficiency as II world conquercr has not
been tested. Taking this view of the
matter 1t evidently believes that in n
war with Great Brittany the United
States would be the winner, or what
We did In 1872 can be done In 1896. or at
any other time. and It Is dead willing

nishes the information that up to 1873
the Southern mines had yielded S2O.O52,.
COG, The production in 1873 was very
small. Georgia furnishing s35.437 and
North Carolina s12O,SS2 The yield has
not varied much, S is shown by the
reports OF the director Of the mint, who
assigns $4,000 as Georgias share TO,

only $4,000 for Alabama in conjunction

Our contemporary is of the opinion
that the time is near ut hand when the
gold region of it's own State will be the
scene of great activity. and IL might
have added that the outlook is that the
quantity of the natal is likely to be
greatly increased In all Of the gold
regions throughout the South. There
