TREND OF GERMAN
EMIGRATION

1t has been asserted that In the
first half year of 1912 the number OF
emigrants both via Bremen and Ham
burg showed a considerable increase.
But it ought to be remembered that
emigration over German sea ports
does not mean an emigration Of Ger
man subjects. BY far the largest
part of the emigrants embarking al
Bremen or Hamburg are of foreign
nationality. more especially Austro-
Hungarians or Russians. Ii we look
ct the figures of Germans emigrat-
ing we find, as in the previous years.
rather a tendency of diminishing.
Thus there.were only 22,600 German
emigrants in the whole year of 1911,
against 25,500 in 1910, or in other
words there was a decrease Of nearly
~ per cent. The maximum OF Ger
man emigrants in the last ten years
was below 10000, the minimum. Tin
190S) about 10000. But even the
maximum figure OF 10000 is by no
means dfscomforting for a country
that has an annual increase of popu-
Iation to the tune of 100000. As a
matter of fact, the loss to the Ger.
man empire by emigration is nil. as
there is numerically larger immigra.
ton into the Empire. This numerical
surplus would be far greater still. Ii
the German Government would not
put a brake to the immigration OF
workmen from Russia and Galicia.
As usual. the bulk of the German
emigrants winds its way to the Unit
ed States. They are mostly attracted
to some particular spot where they
have relatives and friends; for the
large emigration of the last century,
especially from 1873 to 1889 has left
the effect that there are millions of
Germans in the United States. But
it is remarkable that among the
young people who wish to emigrare
from Germany, the interest in South
America is steadily growing. The

WORLDS SUPPLY
CORN OVER FOUR
BILLION BUSHELS

. NEW YORK, Aug. "a good corn
crop nowadays for the leading pro.
ducing countries of the globe is at
least 1000, 100000 bushels. The yield
of 1910 was 27,000,000 bushels greater.
A poor corn crop would run near to a
5000, GOO, 900 bushel yield. In 1907 the
worlds corn growing countries came
within 400, 900 900 bushels of that min
imum. The brunt of producing corn
falls very largely upon the United
States The average production OF
commercial countries for the i've
years ending with 1910 was 3,916, 000,-
900 bushels. The average production
of the United States was 2,725,000, 900,
so that the latter country produced
about 70 per cent of the worlds yield.
North America including Mexico and
Canada produces fully three-quarters
of the worlds corn production. This
year from present prospects the Unit.
ed States may alone have a crop OF
Is per cent of the worlds total Last
year was Argentina's turn for an enor-
nous yield. That country and Aus
tria Hungary are about on a par as
producers, each contributing some
thing less than 100000 900 bushels.
Mexico belongs in the same class
with Argentina and Austria-Hungary,
followed by Italy and Roumania with
about half as large an output. All OF
these countries are exporters whose
surplus generally goes to western hil-
rope. For several years Argentina
has been the leading exporter OF corn,
finding the market in lean years IN
such American countries as Mexico
and occasionally in the United states.
Approximately only one-third OF our

RUBBER GROWING IN
FEDERATED MALAY STATES.

1t appears from the report of the
Director of Agriculture that the land
opened for rubber in the Federated
Malay States during 1911 reached the
enormous total Of 1O7200 acres. which
is more than double that opened dur
ing 1910. The largest increase was in
Perak, with 40,791 acres. The rubber
output for 1911 was 1.S09,617 pounds.
an increase of about IS per cent over
1910. Had it not been for the drought
there is every reason to suppose that
the 1910 output would have been dou-
bled. The acreage producing in the
Federated Malay States at the end OF
the year gives an approximate yield
FER acre of 200 pounds. The acreage
producing this was 105,633.-Consular

Many thought that the revelations
would put Blease out Of the running

to account by proclaiming from every
stump that they are lies told by 'aris'

tied by the attacks on him. =
AS to the character of campaigning
Blease is doing, his speech here re-
Gently is a typical example. He adj

the State House steps, The crowd
was drawn very largely by the expec-
tation that he would denounce T. b.

would pay the fine or pardon any cot

Sample of His Speech.
This is the way Blease attacks his
political enemies:
IF John Graham, who operates that
mill referring to the hosiery mill in
the State penitentiaryI were to die
tonight there is not enough coal in
all the Clinchfield mine for the devil
to put on his dead body.
THAT mill, operated by a Yankee,
who walks about the streets in Co
lumbia, drinking his fine liquors, is an
incubator of tuberculosis and a dis
grace to civilization" =, .-..'s
Blease's style Of campaigning is I'M
doubtedly effective. 1t is patterned
on the "pitchfork method" made ia
nous by Ben Tillman and is popular
with the electorate of South Carolina.
Blease SAYS that he will defeat Jones
in the primary of August p, and many
fear that his prediction will prove
true. T.
Blease's paramount political princi-
pie, according TO his own version, is
to stand by his friends" He has
made that principle of sticking by
my friends at any cost" the cry of
political campaign. u -.
Blease from the beginning of his ca
reer has mixed politics with his prac-
tice of the law. That is why Judge
Jones is charging on the stump that
Blease, elected Governor of South
Carolina. pardoned his old client,
Wash Hunter, whom, as lawyer, he
could not acquit off, manslaughter

charged with representing as State
Senator the liquor interests in the dis
pensary graft while his law partner,
Dominick, openly represented them as
their lawyer.

The work Of putting down a new
floor on the bridge across Duck River
at this place, which was ordered by
the county court some time ago, Is
now on in earnest, and will be COM
plcted within the next week with IA
vorable conditions.
II is being done by Horace Rainey
in accordance with the terms of the
agreement between him and the coun-
ty in connection with the turnpike ar
'rangements. ~
When the necessity for a new floor
ing arose there was a controversy
aboIt the stringers or sleepers. It
was finally decided that it was the du-
ty of the county and the lumber was
secured and put on the grounds and
a colps of workmen secured to do the
work. 1t was seen that this would be
an expensive matter for the county
from the fact that the workmen
would be constantly forced to wait on
the floor layers or else have the en-
tire bridge torn up at the same time,
thus entirely obstructing travel, and
an arrangement was made with Mr..
Rainey to do all the work, he to have
the old lumber for performing that
part of the work incumbent upon the
county.
The work has been conducted with
out~fnuch interruption to travel. It
being closed up each night so that
travel could be continued until the
hour of going to work the next morn.

The floor is being laid of creoscted
pine, with view to durability, and
is being put down in good shape and
