Washington, Dec. 23.-When Repre-
sentative Brown, Of Wisconsin, called

tain Christmas present from an ad-

GUBa's PROGRESS.
Since Spanish War it; Has Been
Wonderful.

Washington, Dec. pa striking
picture of the development of Cuoa
Since the Spanish War is presented in
a report to his home Government by
Lionel Garden, the British Minister
at Havana, a copy Of which has just
reached Washington. The Minister
says:
it is highly satisfactory to note the
remarkable progress the island has
made in the past three years in spite
of the deplorable condition in which
it was left at the end Of the war.
The production of sugar has risen
from :33SS5, 600 tons in 1899 to over S00s :
600 tons in 1901. and will reach one
million tons in this years crop. The
cultivation and manufacture Of tobacco
as we'll as the minor industries, show
considerable improvement; the STOCK
of cattle on the island, thanks to large
importations, is now probably upward
of T5O. 600, as compared with less than
2oo, 900 at the beginning of 1899, and
finally the value of the exports has IN
crease from SO, $780, to e12, $50, 600,
and would have reached a much high

sugar.
Considering how little financial as
sistance the Cubans have received from
abroad it speaks very highly for their
energy and industry that they should
have achieved so much in so short a
time and with such limited resources
at their command, ald affords strong
arorgrd for belieyinp that the work of
the islands industries
anew, commenced under such diff
culties. will be persevered in.
All through the Minister'S report,
treating of the details of each branch
of commerce, he points out to his
countrymen the ever-groWing conpeti-
tion Of the United States. The report
is full of advice to English traders,
to the best means Of meeting this
competition and of holding the ground
in Cuban trade which is being rapidly
taken from them by the United States.

The New County Craze.

Latta, Dec. 23.-Since the citizens
of Lee county Won their cause in the
courts there have been schemes foT1nu-
lated either at Dillon or Mullins by
which Pee Dee county will receive her
sovereignty. One of the plans is
about as follows: Lately the people OF
Marion have been advocating the
building Of new courthouse and Jail.
Knowing that Pee Dee county will
eventually gain her rights, it seems
they wish to build these buildings be-
fore she sewers her connections. Now
some Of the business men of Mullins
coma forward and say that if Pee Dee
county will vote with her in removing
the county seat from Marion to their
town they will build new courtbou
and jail gratis; after which Pee Dee
county can change her lines, cutting
off that section netx to Mullins which
fought Pee Dee county so bitterly IN
the last election and annexing part Of
Kirby township, which would be glad
of such annexation. By this plan
they think Pee Dee county will have
but little trouble in gaining her sover-
eighty. IF this is done the opposition
at Latta viii not be SO strong as form
erly. Latta has always fought tbs move
ment very bitterly, but on account of
some political complications in the
last new county election and in the
last primary Pee county has, gained
many new adherents here.

The Railroads Pay Taxes.

Columbia, Dec. 24.-Some time ago
Treasurer Jennings wrote to the rail
road officials asking them to pay their
taxes as soon possible. He has reeeiv-
ed a reply from nearly all of them, in
which it is stated that they have
paid their taxes to the various county
treasurers. These reports come from
the Southern and Atlantic Coast Line
and vaious branch roads and the few
independent short lines in the State.
This money will go a long way towards
easing the financial situation of the
treasury, as the railroads are the
largest taxpayers in the State. The
same will not, of course, be sufficient
in itself to pay the interest on the
State debt. borrowed money and other
expenses to be met on Jan. l, but with
what is expected to be paid by in
dividauls there will be enough, Trea-
surer Jennings hopes. He will urge
all the county treasurers to make their
remittance at once. On the whole,
the Immediate financial outlook is
much brighter than it has been during
the past month. Gov. McSweeney,
however, is still receiving numerous
requests for the extension of the time
of paying taxes and this may indicate
that many people still expect an ex-
tension. The end is but few days off
now and it is of importance perhaps
for those who have not paid to be
again reminded that the governor and
comptroller general viii not extend
the time.

The Pope's Christmas Greeting.

Rome, Dec. 23.-Tbere was a pic
turesque scene in the Pope's private
library at noon today when all the car
dinals living in Rome gathered there
to present the pontiff with their
Christmas greetings. AL the visitors
wore their gorgeous red robes. A re-
markable fact vas that, with the ezeep-
tion of Cardinal Santo Stelano and
Cardinal Parochi, all the assembled
prelates appeared exceptionally well,
animated and full of plans for the
future.
Cardinal Santon Stefano, as dean of
the sacred college, read the congratu-
latory ad7ices. The pope spoke at
some length in reply and expressed
keen sorrow at the fact that his jubilee
year was embittered by painful events,
referring evidently to the divorce bill.
The pontif in this connection remark
ed: What they want is the fall of
Christian order and the reconstruction
OF the states on the basis of pagan ma
turalism. -
The pope pleaded for a spread OF
Christian democracy on the lines
preached by the church to oppose the
seditious, socialistic democracy which
Acknowledges no God
After receiving the apostolic bene-
diction the cardinals withdrew.
