Aliens Took s11O,OOO,OOO.

According to figures compiled by the
North German Lloyd line, $11O,OOO,OOO
was taken out of the United States last
year by aliens returning to their former
homes in Europe. This computation Is
based on figures furnished by steamship
agents, money changers and others In a
position to be informed, and Is made on
the assumption that the average amount
carried by returning foreigners is 5000,
and that 55O,045 immigrants returned to
their native land 1t Is estimated that

idleness for year or more, and when

Keeping Broilers Clean.

Almost every one who broils steak In
gas oven has experienced no small
amount Of trouble In keeping the broil-
er spotless and shiny. An easy way
out Of this Is to place the steak on the
broiler, and instead Of leaving the pan
underneath dry, place cold water in It
to the depth Of two inches. The fat
drops into the water and is purified.
and may then be skinned Off and used.
BY this method the pan is never al
lowed to dry and burn, and the oven
is kept free from grease.

their guns, one of the guards fleeing
the scene and riding the little pines

ever, stopped the stampede of zebras
and, gun in hand marched several of
the runaways back to camp, for which
brave act he was never rewarded, if
we remember Alright Supt. Paschal
was not in charge of the county gang

CHEAPER LIVING
Is POSSIBLE

NEW YORK, March 1S.-(SpeciaD =
It's cheaper to live today than it
has been in thirty-three months.
That, at least, is the comforting as
surance just announced by Broad
streets.
1t was year ago this month when
the highest general level of prices for
foodstuffs, textiles, coal, and other
commodities was reached. Since then
they have dropped 12.5 per cent, the
decrease being fairly evenly distribut-
ed from month to month.
There have been some thirty in
creases, but Bradstreet's records show
that sixty-three products, including
provisions and textiles, cost less than
last March. Of the thirty products
that are higher, some are sugar, tea,
potatoes, apples, wheat, corn, oats,
barley, soft soal, and petroleum.
The low price average Of this
month, however, is only comparative,
and if the drop is limited to 1 per
cent, as for the year past, more than
three years must elapse before the
lowest recorded price average is
reached.
Prices are still 40 per cent higher
than the low level recorded on July
/, 1896.

LEASE OF CONWCTS IS
SOON TO BE DECIDED
State Will Dispose of
Problem.

One OF the big~queStiOns with which
the legislature will deal this summer
is that to do with the disposal of
the felony convicts who are sentenc-
ed to the penitentiary. A committee
from the house and the senate, have
been investigating the subject, and
will hold a meeting within the next
few weeks for the purpose of formu-
lating a report.
1t is said that they will probably
recommend that the present plan of
working part of the convicts on the
public roads not only be retained, but
increased, with the ultimate purpose
of gradually abandoning the lease
system.
The present plan was put in opera
ton five years ago, and will expire
in March, 1909. All leases will ex-
pire at that time. Men serving SEN
tences of five years or under, except
in cases where special provision is
made for them, are worked on the
roads of those counties that want
them
1t has meant much to some of the
smaller counties that did not have
enough misdemeanor convicts to keep
up the roadways.
An important feature of the convict
question is that of revenue. Those
that are leased bring about 1925, each,
or $375,OOO in the aggregate per an
mum. Since the state has lost the
saloon taxes, this money will be need
ed. Were they retained by the state
their maintenance would cost about
100000 year-an appreciable item in
itself
1t is also probable that the mar
ket for convicts will not be as good
as in previous years. Lesses have
been hard hit by recent depression
The prisoners are in nearly all in
stances employed in businesses that
have been particularly dull, and for
the past two or three months hold
ers of leases have been losing money.
They are in the peculiar situation of
having to continue operations at a
loss.

HUNDREDS OF VOTERS

Despite the near approach of the

LIBRARY FUND AND
SYMPHONY RECEIPTS
School Shares Literally
After First $50.

Of the proceeds from the Schubert
Symphony Club, which appears at the
Armory tomorrow night, the High
School library fund will receive 25
per cent of the first $50 All over that
amount will be divided equally be-
tween the school and the company.
Supt. Miller is hopeful that material
aid will be rendered the library.
A number of books OF reference are
urgently needed for the school library,
which cannot be procured without a
lift from the outside The present
library which has been gotten together
through the efforts of Supt. Miller, is
much in demand. With the aid Of a
comparatively moderate sum, the sit
uation can be greatly relieved and
the pupils given access to needed
books

AMERICUS IS GOING TO
PASS UP THE GAME
No Likelihood of League
Ball.

The baseball Americus is likely to
get wild over this season will be of
the variety amateuresque, in all pro-
bability The spirit of the fans is
strong and willing; the material is
here, but there is no evidence of real
ball twirling yet
Lack of funds and lack of park
are the chief obstacles.
Then too, none of the other towns
of south Georgia, with whom we would
expect to play, are showing any evil
dence of catching the ball itch. Sure
ly there is no contagion.
The team here had depended in a
manner upon using the old ball park
out on Bell street, but the owners
of the lumber contained in the fence,
bleachers and grandstand have pulled
it all down and carted the material
elsewhere.
This shuts out that proposition
quite effectively
Just where the team could get a
park is a problem unsolved, as is
that of the finances necessary to
properly equip it.
The boys are willing and anxious
to ,play ball this summer, but are
thus badly handicapped
1t would cost $500 to fit up a park
properly, and little balance of $499
would have to be raised in some man
ner. 1t is believed that the money
would be forthcoming if the club only
had suitable grounds upon which to
play ball.
Local enthusiasts are keeping in
practice, and have fairly good team
in a state of partial organization. 1t
is hoped that we can have good ball
this season.

SPENT.IAsT EIGHT
YEARS IN MISERY
Boston Banker Says His Life Has Been Hope.
less for that Length of Time.

Carleton H. Hutchinson, a leading
banker and broker of Boston, with
Offices at 5 Congress Street, in that
city, has recently come out with a very
strong statement.
In the widespread discussion over
Cooper's new theory and medicines
which has spread over the country so
rapidly, Mr.. Hutchinson has taken the
side Of those who say that Cooper's
theory is correct and his medicine all
that he claims.
Mr.. Hutchinson's emphatic state
ment is as follows: anyone afflicted
with chronic i'll health and a general
rundown condition caused by stomach
trouble, who does not try this man
Cooper's medicine, is very foolish. l
say this after a most remarkable ex-
perience with the medicine.
Il heard Of Cooper's success first
when he was in Chicago, as I have a
private wire to that city in connection
with my business. Later, when he
came East, | learned more of him and
his theory that stomach trouble causes
most i'll health. | have had no faith
in anything not prescribed by a ply
stefan for each particular case after
careful diagnosis, but after eight years
Of constant suffering, during which
