The mainland does more business
with the United Kingdom than with
any other country in the world-a busi-
ness equal to SIS per capita of the Brit
ish population. Yet the amount of
trade transacted between the United
states and Hawaii amounts to 1922 per
capita for the population of this terri
tory. with China and its four hundred
millions of people the trade with the
United States averages only 11l2 cents
per capita of the Oriental Empire.
According to the report of the Bureau
of Statistics for the year ending June
50 1902, the total trade of Hawaii with
the United States amounted to almost
$45. 900 900. This trade has practically
doubled since annexation and the value
of the exports from the United States
has since 1895 increased by over $50
per cent, while the value of exports
from Hawaii to the mainland curing
the same period has been less than %
per cent. as follows:

Increase in exports from Hawaii, be-
low % per cent,
The total trade between Hawaii and
the United States aggregating, in round
numbers, $45, zoo, 900 is within 100000 900
of the total trade transacted between
| The United States and China, which
amounts to $467 ,49l; also within 81
OOO. 900 of the total trade transacted be
tween the United States and the entire
continent of Africa, which amounts to
! SAG, SSS, 49l
Another fact worth mentioning is
that all Of the exports from Hawaii to
the United States are carried by Amer
lean vessels, and this can be said of no
other country that trades with the
mainland. The development of trade
for American steamers is clearly shown
in this connection in the following two
lines:

p, states:

1901 ............... S4.293,0O0 s23, 0i9
1902 .....,...... 754i,574 17,155,S5j
In 1902. as compared with 1901, there
was an increase OF 70 per cent. in the
value of goods shipped from Hawaii to
the United States by steamer, there be-
ing, of course, a decrease In what was
sent from here in sailing vessels.
! al. "a,

cal year was according to the Bureau
of Statistics only s3O36,5S3, as com
pared with imports worth twenty mil
| lion dollars from the mainland.

POpuIists Nominate County Ticket
and Endorse IA state Ticket.
Dublin, Ga, July 19.-The Populist
party of Laurens county is dissatisfied
with the county officers nominated
by the Democratic party in the pri-
mary last Tuesday, and yesterday met
and nominated the following candi-
dates in opposition: Representatives,
James l.. Keen and j. c. Register;
clerk and treasurer, B. B. Under; tax
collector, w r. Hudson; sheriff, H. L.
Thomas; tax receiver, Calvin Tyre;
surveyor, j. D. McLendon; coroner, F.
r. Radford; county commissioners, ].
M. Lowery and L. B. Under.
MIR. Ancil Chavous of this city was
first nominated for sheriff, but was
waited on by committee and declined
the nomination. Hon. J. L. Keen, one
of the nominees for the Legislature,
was for one term senator from the
Sixteenth District
At the meeting yesterday the follow
ing state ticket was endorsed by the
Populists: Governor, James K. Hines;
State Treasurer ]. H. Trayler; Attor-
ney-General, ]. w. Hagan; Commits
sioner of Agriculture, w. L. Peek,
State School Commissioner, S. H. Zoll-
ner; Secretary of State, B. F. Lee.
The Republicans of Laurens county
also held meeting yesterday. 1t is
rumored that the Republicans will fuse
with the Populists in the hope of de-
feating the Democratic ticket. This
cannot be done however, although
there is a great deal of disappoint-
ment over the success in the Democratic
primary of one or two of the nominees.

Country People Now Reading Daily
Papers, Says Quitman Postmaster.
Quitman, Ca, July 1s.-The inspector
of rural routes for the Postofflce De-
partment was here this week and went
over the territory of proposed routes
Nos. 4 and 5, for which application has
been made and which are likely to be
established soon. Brooks county has
several rural routes and Quitman has
three, two of which were established
last year. 1t is not generally known
that route No. / was the second es
tablished in the United States, the first
being put in at Charlestown. w. Va,
about two months prior to this. One
of the results of the establishment of
these routes has been to increase the
subscription lists of the dailies of the
state.
Postmaster Griffin is authority for
