SPANlsH WAR SOLDIERS
TO GET PAY BACK.

Following from yesterdays Atlanta
Constitution will be Of interest here
especially to those who served in the
Spanish-American war:
Georgia is preparing to put in a
claim for between $4,000 and $780,
600 back pay for those from this state
who served in the Spanish-American
war
Judge c. G. James, Of Cedartown
VINO has been appointed by Governor
Terrell to lool, after this matter in the
interest Of the Georgia soldiers to
whom money is due. was in the city
yesterday and spent several Aours
vita lie governor discussing the mat
ter, and formulating plans lor present
ing this claim
The fact that there is still money
due to tho1e who served as soldiers
at this time, exists because chey were
not paid for the time between the date
OF reporting at headquarters and the
formal enlistment in the army. All
troops were luly paid from the time
OF their actual enlistment, bat the
United States government made pro
visions FOR paying the men from the
time at which they reported for such
enlistment In many cases this
amounts TO two weeks time. While ii
others it is only one week or perhap:
a few days. Nevertheless there is
something coming to almost every
Georgia soldier who served in The
war with Spain.

ARE HARD TIMES AHEAD?

John D. Rockefeller, in the course of
a recent interview, said that hard times
might be looked for about 1907. He
thought by that date there would be
ten million people out of employment
and said: Unless we have internal
improvements for them to work on they
will burn our cities.''
If there is any definite law gov
erning the periodical depressions in the
United States, and Mr.. Rockefeller has
found it, he ought to give the secret up.
Then something might be done by way
of precaution. 1t is obvious, for one
thing, if Mr.. Rockefeller's prophecy is
correct, that the time has come to limit
European immigration; for if there are
soon TO be millions of people out of
work, there is no use in letting in mil
lions more to compete with them for
the jobs that will be left.
The question of internal improve
ments ON a vast scale might also be
discussed and disposed of. Good roads
are everywhere desired; there is an
enormous irrigation project for the arid
States; rivers and harbors need atten-
ton; there is vast public domain in
the Philippines to be opened up. If it
were at all certain that 100000 people
would be cIamoring for bread in the
United States three years from now,
the sooner some of these projects were
settled upon the better.
But who knows? The conditions of
prosperity in the United States have
not been seriously impaired. Crops are
still abundant and in demand; exports
are vast; the inflow of gold from the
mines has not abated; new markets are
opening up in the Far East and canal
is promised which will make access to
them easier; war brings all sorts of
possibilities for producing nation not |
engaged in making it; there is |
still room for millions of people in the |
farming belts. Why, then, should a |
be near? Mr.. Rockefeller does |
not say why. He merely raises his |
voice in prophecy, perhaps with the ex-
pectation of making something on |
bear market.

In buying tickets to a theater the
general public ought to have a fair
show at the place where tickets are
advertised for sale. If the selling
agency is a store, well and good; let
the public go there to buy on equal
terms. On the other hand if a mes
senger boy owns the seating accom-
modations of the show let the public
have a chance at him; but don't ad
vertise that tickets may be had at
store when the only desirable ones are
in the hands of a messenger boy out
side the store. If the present system
is to go the only safe rule will be for
everybody to cut the store out and
leave orders with the messenger boy,
letting him act for the whole play
going community.

IMPORTS FROM AMERICA.

"The imports of the grand divisions
and principal countries of the world
and the share thereof supplied by the
United States" is the title of a table
just presented by the Department OF
Commerce through it's Bureau Of Sta
tistics. 1t shows, as the title indicates
the total imports Of each Of the prin-
eipai countries of the world. the
amount of those imports drawn from
the United States, and the percentage
our products form of the total imports.
The statement shows that of the So
14I, 900 worth of merchandise inn
ported by Europe in 1902 the United
States supplied $1,211, 1856. 600, or lass
per cent of the total. North America,
other than the United States, import
ed merchandise to the value of $780,
$4,000, of which the United States sup
piled s215. 1866, 900. or 52.55 per cent
South America imported $S49, 691, 600, of
which $l3,S7S. 900, or 1856 per cent, was
from the United States. Asia's i'm
ports were 1866, $50, 600, of which $780,
167, 900. or So per cent, was from the
United States. Africa's imports were

The imports of Oceania were $685.
10000, of which s34. $685. 900. or 1913 per
cent. was drawn from the United
States This figure for Oceania does
not include the Hawaiian Islands,
which are considered as part of the
United States. or the Dutch or French
East Indies, which are included with
Asia. In a word, Europe drew 14.SS
per cent of her imports from the Unit
ed States; North America, other than
the United States. 52-55 per cent;
South America, 1885 per cent; Asia,
az per cent: Africa, SIS per cent, and
Oceania 11.93 per cent of her total i'm
ports from the United States.
These figures of the imports of the
various countries are taken from the
official reports Of those countries and
represent their own statement of i'm
ports from the United States and not
from a statement OF our exports to
those countries
Taking a few of the more important
countries it may be said that the Unit
ed Kingdom took 24.o3 per cent of her
imports from the United States; Ger
many, 1856 per cent from the United
States: France. s.67 per cent: Neither
lands. 1913 per cent; Belgium, 11.59 per
