LESSON OF THE SPANISH WAR.

Notwithstanding the fact that foreign
seamen and their subsistence cost less
than the American sailor and his keep,
the fact remains that our rivals In over
sea trade pay annually 10 encourage and
TO maintain their fast ocean steamship
lines a total of nearly 100000 In the
form of subsidies, admiralty subventlons,
ocean mall bounties and shipbuilding bo-
muses.. IL Is not especially comforting to
Americans to know that more than half
OF our pay for ocean mail service goes
into foreign Golfers and helps to strength
en- the potential slnews OF war upon the
sea of other nations. We all know how
bitterly the project of subsidizing our
own ships has been fought in the national
legislature, and the attitude Of Congress
has some justification In fact so far as
| the efforts seem to be aimed at helping a
favored few. But there can be no gain
saying that German subsidies and Ger
man governmental encouragement In a
variety of ways have made possible the
position which that country now enjoys
upon the sea and her possession of the
splendid shipbuilding plants now at her
disposal. 1t is equally true that kin
dred action by the Japanese government
is principally responsible for the wonder
full increase of her merchant shipping
and there Is no doubt that the British
government has found the same expe-
dents needful to create some of the liners
which are subject to call In time OF ma
tional need. 1t is quite true that these
subsidies were originally for the promo
ton of ocean mail service, but conditions
have altered their present value. Their
purpose now is threefold in its nature
commercial political and military. They
serve to advance business abroad; they
have a political value in adding to the
frequency of the appearance OF the flag OF
the nation in foreign ports, and their mill
tary worth lies In the fact that they ma,
be turned into transports, dispatch yes
sells, supply ships or any other usefu
form OF naval auxiliarles.
Many of the ships that rival nation,
will build and subsidize and which viii

across the sea 70 hold their commercial
supremacy largely at our cost
The foreign countries which we have
mentioned in the preceding table are not
the only ones which are intent upon
taking advantage of the opening OF the
Panama Canal to increase their merchant
service in oversee traffic. Italy is doing
this. and so is Spain, the latter being
! particularly anxious to revive her init
macy with the Spanish speaking coun-
tries OF South America and with the Phil
| ippines. Our neighbors on the north are
likewise making preparations that will
bear directly upon the markets Of our
own people, and to decided degree par
take indirectly in our coast-to-coast
trade, which properly belongs TO our own
shipping.

MUCH DAMAGE
WAS DONE BY A 4
BAD HURRICANE
TWO OR THREE HOUSES NEAR
CITY COMPLETELY DESTROYED
YESTERDAY MORNING.
Hurricane Swept District Near Tay-
lor's Chapel for Distance of TWO
or Three Hundred Yards-Traffie
on ScutaS"n Was Also Blocked. /

While Brunswick seems to nave es-
capped the center of the hurricane,
the country districts near the city re
ceived the full benefit of what was
quite a severe gale late Thursday
night and yesterday morning, and, as
result, two or three houses were
blown to the ground, trees and fences
We're destroyed and considerable other
damage was done.
From reports received from people
residing in the vicinity of Taylor's
chapel, the hurricane was a severe
one, and, while it covered only small
area, it took everything in it's path;
carrying away trees and fences as if
they were mere paper on the ground.
The home of Matt Goodbread, who
lives near the chapel, was entirely
blown away and his family had a
narrow escape for treir lives. The
hurricane came a1ong, almost without
notice and carried away his home.
The family was asleep at the time,
but fortunately they all escaped with
out injury. For a distance of three
or four hundred yards the hurricane
carried everything in it's wake, and
besides the home of Mr. Goodbread,
the residences of one or two negroes
were destroyed.
Reports also reached the city that
the fresh water streams up the coun-
try were on a rampage and consid-
cradle damage had been done. Rail-
road traffic was badly blocked dur
ing .he day by washouts. 1t was af
ter IS O'Clock before a train over the
Southern arrived in the city. Wash
outs were reported on the road about
eight miles this side of Jesup and it
was impossible for any trains on the
road to pass. The regular Southern
train leaving this city yesterday
morning went to the scene of the
washout and was compelled to stop,
it being impossible to go any fur
ther. Incoming trains were also
halted at the .wasnout and it was
necessary to transfer passengers and
mail from one train to another.
A large force, of workmen was at
once put to work on the washOut and

IN READINESS,
Rumored State Department Has Or
dered Arms and Ammunition Sent
to Mexico in Care of American Am.

New York, March 29.-Reports were
rife here today that the federal gov
eminent had requested the manage

ships Plying between New York and
Galveston and New Orleans and Ha-
vana to hold its entire fleet in readi-
ness for the transportation of troops,
provisions and war supplies to be sent
to the Texas and Mexican borders at
a moments notice.
This rumor became current prior
to receipt of a dispatch from Wash

partment had ordered arms and am
munition sent in the care of Ambas-
sador Wilson in. the City of Mexico
for distribution to responsible Amer
leans in that city.
Officials of the Morgan line say as
yet they have received no official re-
quest from the government to hold
any vessels for the purposes stated.

MAY SOON LAND
ALL The GANG
CAPTURE OF CLAUDE ALLEN
LEADS OFFICERS TO BELIEVE
THEY WILL GET ALL.

Hillsville, Va, March 29.-This en-
tire section today anXiously awaited
news from the North Carolina border,
expecting to hear at any moment that
what is left of the Allen gang had
been taken, but up to late hour to-
day there was no new developments.
The capture of Claude Swanson
Allen, son Of Floyd and nephew OF
Sidna Allen, revived the hope-that all
the outlaws would be safely behind
the bars. With the detectives prom
Using captures day after day, without
results, interest had begun to lag, and
many people believed the fugitives
had made their way out of the noun
tains, leaving their pursuers to chase
shadows
There was much speculation here
today over the probable legal tangle
az the coming trial of the Allen clans
men. The fact that both the Allen
gang and the court officers all par
ticipated in the courtroom fight will
make it difficult to place the respon-
sibility for each OF the five murders.

THREE DAYS ARE
LEFT IN WHICH
TO GET ON LIST
TODAY, MONDAY AND TUESDAY
REGISTRATION BOOKS WILL
REMAIN OPEN.
Large Number of Glynn County Vo-
the Many Elections to Be Held This
Year and Only Few Days Remain.
Have you registered?

nave you registered!
That is a question which has been
asked many times during the past
several weeks, and those who have
answered it mo" have only three more
days in which to cnange the tune Of
their reply.
The registration books will close
on next Tuesday afternoon at $50
o'clock, therefore you have only three
more days in which to qualify and be
in position to participate in the many
elections which are to be held this
year.
While there are probably 1000 men
in Glynn county who are eligible to
register and vote in all of these cleo
tions, it is understood that only about
600 have qualified. Many of those
who have already paid their taxes
for the past year and who only have
to go to the office of the tax collec-
tor and register their names have
not done so, although they have many
times been informed of the fact tn
they are not qualified to vote.
With such an important year poll
tically ahead it seems that every voter
who is eligible should take advantage
of the opportunity to register, in or
der Il at he will be in position TO
vote, and it is hoped that two or three
hundred names will be added to the
books before they finally close on next
Tuesday.

Mexican Secretary Talks.

Mexico City, March 20. - Manuel
Calleco, Mexican secretary of state
for foreign affairs, commenting today
anxiety of the state departm mt con-
cerning Mexico, said he believed the
Americans wish to see the admins
tration CT Mexico sustained because
President Madero had been elected by,
the vote of the people, if ever a Mex
lean president was.
The proof of this" the secretary
said, was the result of the voting in
which it Will be remembered Nader o
was popular with all parties and ran
far ahead of Pine Suarez."
Senior Calero called attention to the
fact that General Pascual Orozco, who
is now declaring that President Ma
dero is now declaring that ETAOIN
dero is an usurper, begged permission
to escort him on the day or MS IN
auguration. The secretary also de-
clared that the department had taken
steps long ago looking to the settle
ment of the claim in regard to Ameri
can citizens killed or wounded on Uni
ted States territory by bullets fired
across the international boundary line
during the Madero' revolution. He
said:

RAPID GROWTH OF
SOUTH GEORGIA
SOME INTERESTING FIGURES ARE
GIVEN OUT BY THE A., 3. &
A. RAILROAD.

Atlanta, March. 29.-An average of
thirty-siX inquiries per day or 1850
per month reaCL the industrial de-
partment of the Atlanta, Birmingham
and Atlantic railroad on the subject
of south Georgias opportunities in
agricultural and Industrial pursuits.
These inquiries come in from points
in the west and northwest, where
General Passenger Agent W. H.
Leahy Of the Atlanta, Birmingham and
Atlantic, is advertising the south
Georgia section in the newspapers
and magazines.
Investigation on the part of the in
dustrial department has proven that
nine Of these inquiries out OF ten are
from substantial people sincerely
seeking locations in which they may
settle and become identified with the
developing forces in this section.
One man wrote recently from Cali
fornia, stating that he had been in
erature describing the climate, but
that on landing there he had found
land values and freight rates so high
that farming prOsperously was out
of the question. He is already on
his way South to look over the pos
sibilities in the section about Thorn
asvilIe. Another man with a family
OF twelve wants to come into this sec
tion from Ohio, and several real es-
tate concerns of south Georgia are
corresponding with him for a salts
factory tract of land
Since the United States government
estimates that the average family is
worth $4,000 per annum to the COM
0lunity, it can readily be seen what
valuable asset to the community
this mans family Of twelve will be
when he locates.
The inquiries received by the in
dustrial department of the Atlanta,
Birmingham and Atlantic are imme-
diately sent to about fifty CONNER
cial organizations and real estate con-
Germs in South Georgia. These con-
Germs write personally to the in
quirers and forward literature accu-
rately describing the conditions in
this section, and through this means
numbers of new families are brought
into the territory every day.
The tide has set in strongly and
the wonderful wiregrass country is
already showing evidences of the

during the preceding twenty-four
hours was seven-tenths of a foot and
the wlter continues to creep higher.
While government engineers express
the opinion that the leyees will hold
