MILLIONS ARE SENT HOME,
Immigrants from Austria-Hungary
Sent Over $4S, 100000 in
Ten Years.

The immigrants to the United States
from Austria-Hungary have sent back
to that country in the ten years between
1894 and 1903 more than $4S.OOO,OOO. OF
this vast sum the immigrants from
Hungary sent back $31 132.0 .0SO, while
those from Austria sent to their rela-
tives $16,9S2,9S0. In 1894 the amount
sent back by the immigrants of both
countries was S1,327.620. This had
grown in 1903 to $1O,556,OO0; in fact,
there has been steady increase since
1894
In addition to the sums sent into the
country through what are known in
Austria as "home banks" from Amer
lea each year. large amount is remit
ted through American banks without
the intervention of Austrian or Hun
garian institutions. or in cash or postal
money orders. The entire amount re-
ceived in Austria Hungary in 1903 from
emigrants that had left that country
for other countries was s32,77S.004.
1t is estimated that the Italian immi-
grants in the United States send back
to their homes annually sum equal tn
about $30,000,000. An indication of the
importance of remittances so made Is
found in the business of Italian postal
savings banks with savings institutions
for Italians in foreign countries. But
the full amount sent into Italy cannot
be kept track of in this way, for 1t Is
we'll known that considerable amounts
are sent in paper money by registered
mail or are brought into the country by
returning immigrants. Fraudulent
banking concerns have caused great
losses to Italian immigrants, both in
| this and other countries in the past.
| These were usually run by Italians.
To prevent all this an act was passed
in Italy in 1901 authorizing the Banl,
| Of Naples to take charge of remittances
from emisrsnts. thus guaranteeing
| them safety and regularity in the trans
mission of their money. This bank has
since established correspondence Offices
for the management Of emigrant busl.
ness, there being 86 Of these Offices III
the close of 1903. A recent bill In the
Italian parliament. providing for the
appointment of resident agents In fer
eign countries to manage the remit
tances of Italians failed to pass.
This immense amount OF money 10 W
ing into Italy annually from lts emi
grants has already had marked in
fluence in improving conditions OF llv
ing, especially in southern Italy.

Cold Spring.

We spent last Friday afternoon
in our high school of which Mrs.
Carrie lowers is principal and is
ably assisted by Mrs. Mamie Wal
ker. Both teachers are popular
with pupils and patrons alike.
We first went into Mrs. Walkers
room, where she teaches forty
seven little fellows ranging in
their studies from a. b. c's. to his
tory. The order was as perfect ae
it could be among SO many little
ones. Mrs. Walker says she has
good children to teach and ia
happy in her work.
We went from tie primary de-
partment to Mrs. lowers room
where we found teacher busy
bearing a lesson in dictionary. As
We sat aud listened we thought Of
the days when we were in school.
Mrs. lowers has organic d a
.sSelf Culture Club" which is do
ing great good. The officers Of the
club are Miss Mamie Bailey,
president; Miss Lydia Holmes,
vice-preaident; MISS Georgia
Mathis, secretary; Miss Essie
Bussey, treasurer; Miss Hattie
Quarles, critic. To club gave an
entertainment last Friday after
noon, tie programme being as
follows: Topics of the day, by
John Quarles; reading, by Miss
May Brown; recitation, by Miss
Sallie Smith; essay by Miss Mar
tha Quarles; song, by Miss Geor-
gia Matbla and Miss Mamie
Walker. The last item on the pre-
gramme was a debate, the subject
being-Resolved. that the coun-
try is better place to develop
than the city. The speakers on the
affirmative were Cornelius Holms,
Clarence Stone, Monroe Mathis,
Martha Quarles, and those on the
negative were Misses Hassle
Quarles, Georgia Mathis, Lula
Quar!es and May Thomas. All of
the debaters did the subject and
themselves great credit. We hope
that the cub will entertain their
friends again soon.
