Many people, without looking up the matter, would say at a guess that Spain’s popula tlonwas 35,000,000 or 40.000,000. But it is, in reality, not 18,000,000. Spain has an area of 197,670 square miles. The area of France is only a few thousand square miles greater, and yet France has a popu lation of very nearly 1u.000,000. Texas has an area of 274.356 square miles. Spain could be laid out on Texas and Texas would have 76,686 square miles left over. The states of Pennsylvania, New York, Illinois and Alabama have more popula tion together than has Spain, and are Im mensely more .wealthy. These slates could borrow enough money with their whole field of commodities, men and capital be hind the loan, to pay off at one coup the ■whole national debt of Spain. They could raise, pay and maintain a bigger artny than Spain could. Their natural resources could outlast Spain’s ten to one. Their steam power is Indefinitely greater, and as man power can always be guaged by steam power you can imagine the differ ence. These four states could exist if they were sequestrated from all the rest of the world. Spain could hardly live a day. Spain was once the greatest nation on the face of the globe. Say, rather, she wA twice so. (First as a centre or learn ing and science under the Saracenic rule, when the city of Cordova had a mile of gas-lit streets and fountains of quick silver played in the palace yard of the caliph. Second, when she was the great est military power in Europe. If you look at the names of countries, cities and places hi the western hemisphere you will realize what a grand empire Spain once’ was and what a power sho wielded over men. But Spain could not stand the march of modern invention. She has steadily shrunk and shriveled and lost her posses sions until now all she has left worth speaking of is Cuba. The Phllipines are insignificant possessions. Why has Spain lost all her power? The theorist who holds that education is the cause of progress will point you the an swer in the statistics concerning Spain’s illiteracy. Only one nation in Europe is lower in enlightenment than Spain. That is Italy. Os all the population of Spain only 28 per cent can read and write, 4 per cent can read only and 68 per cent can neither read nor write. When you come to think of it this fact staggers the mind. Here is a nation in the heart of civilization, and 68 per cent of its people have no conception whatever of the mar vels of the printing press or of the letters that Cadmus brough to Europe. But let us go a little deeper into this matter of illiteracy. I do not desire to talk about causes: the sociologists can do that. But were one in the mind to do it a sociologit cal study of Spain would be worth the writing. Spain, as I have said, has a population of less than 18.000,000, and 68 pe'r cent of her people cannot read or write. The United States has a. popula tion of. let us say, 70,000,000. Os the na tive population in this this country only 6 per cent can read or write. Os the for eign whites only 13 per cent cannot read x>r write, and of the colored population 56 per cent cannot read or write. But, ac counting for the foreigners and the negroes tn the computation, there is but 13 per cent of the population in this country that can not read or write. Think of it! Out of nearly 40,000,000 native white Americans only 6 per cent cannot read or write, and Spain's percentage is 68! Labor in Russia. A recent magazine article in discussing postal savings banks and the problems of labor, makes an interesting reference to wages paid in Russia for man and 'beast. From the table that is furnished it ap pears that more is paid for the service of a horse than of a man. In 'the Nishni- Aolga section it is shown that the average pay of a man and a horse is about 72 cents a day; of man alone, 34 cents; that is, 38 cents for horse and 34 cents for man,. The •women receive from 10 to 20 cents. In the central agricultural regions the average is*. Horse. 23 cents; man, 20 cents; woman, cents. In the southerp steppe: Horse, cents; man, 25 cents; woman. 20 cents. Tais is an interesting commentary on the standard of living of Russian agricultural laborers. Its meaning is, simply, that hu man beings are cheaper there than draft animals. In other words, It costs less to keep them alive. In the southern steppe, live wmen can be employed cheaper than two horses. Is it difficult to imagine the conditions of home life, the dearth of re fining influences, the sodden, hopeless state of stagnation that such a state of affairs reflects? Is it any wonder, asks a maga zine writer, that the products of such a wage status as this are individual degra dation. social barrenness, meagre educa tion, political despotism, religious intoler ance, and, generally, a type of civilization scarcely above barbarism? The Atlanta Journal and the Macon Tel egraph claim to be perfectly impartial be tween the candidates for governor. The Schley -County News has from time to time contained articles complimentary to Col Candler, which very evidently neither the Journal or Telegraph have yet seen; at any rate they have not reproduced a sin gle one of them. We have a number of exchanges on our desk that we have no ticed closely; when they say anything complimentary of Col. Candler these “great” daily newspapers do not see them. But let us say anything compli menting Judge Atkinson or anyone else except Candler and it will be reproduced in their columns. Are they impartial? Bah!—Schley County News. Vanity Fair and in fact all of London Journals are making sport of the Order of the Crown. The idea of such an in stitution in a land which has for its cor ner-stone the doctrine of belief that every man is born free and equal. Irith Home Rule. Mr. Balfour has Introduced a bill In the British house of commons for the reform , of Irish county government, which. If en ■ acted, will go a long way toward the bet- I ferment of the condition of the people of ' Ireland, says the Birmingham News. Its main effect is to take the direction of affairs out of the hands of a body nomi i Bated and controlled by the landlords, and i to place them in the hands of a body I elected by popular franchise. The bill, in wo far as it goes, establishes something .ike local self-government in the counties. It i falls short of that point mainly in failing ' to place the control of the police under the county council. The measures, how ever, seems to have won the hearty ap proval of the representatives of Ireland in parliament, and it is encouraging us offer ing a measure of relief from landlord as cendancy. The passage of this measure will break the old order of things, and open the way for the securing of further rights for the Irish. It will be a happy day for Ireland when this first step is taken, because it will render the task of obtaining a full measure of home rule much easier. When Benjamin L. Willingham died, Macon lost one of it* beet citizens, hu manity one of its best friends, the church one of its staunchest supporters, his fam ily a true loving and deveted husband and father, but posterity will reap the benefit of a life that was worth living and the blessings of a soul gone to rest.—Georgia Cracker.

A little treatment of that sort and corn will join wheat in a two-step, the music of which is sweet to the farmer’s oar.

A great stir has been made ;n. New York because Mr. Dick Croker attended a re ception and kept bis hands in his pockets. Perhaps he recognized some of the crowd, and thought it would be safer. Ferdinand and Isabella wouldn’t have done a thing to Christopher Columbus, when he struck them for an appropriation to discover America, had they foreseen the stirring events of 1898. Let’s have a man for governor this time who i>. not bound head and feet to a few politicians. In the person of Hen. Allen D. Candler, we will have just such a mao. —Vienna Progress. Spain should be scared to death, whether she is or not. George Gould has offered his yacht, .the Niagara, to the government in case of war. Several of the most daring gentlemen in Congress will be picked out to investigate the Chicago river. That’s a task that calls for courage. The o-nly portion of South Georgia that Judge Atkinson seems to be carrying in his pants pocket is Glynn county. The knowledge that there are 10,000,000 nerve fibers in the human body is enough to make any man nervous. Spain is so deeply in debt that the Dons may think it cheaper to fight than to pay an indemnity. Lent is a period during which many pocketbooks’ are given an opportunity to brace up.

A great sensation has been caused at Perth, Western Australia, by the trial be fore tho’chlof justice (Sir Alexander On slow) of a white squatter named Ernest Anderson for the murder,of an aboriginal Galled Spider, and of two other aborigines, Biddy and Polly. In spite of the clearest evidence and the plainest direction from the judge the jury refused to convict An derson of murder and brought in a verdict of manslaughter only. I believe no white man has ever swung for a black, and one member of the jury declared ho would ait a week if necessary, but “he would never hang a white for a few d d niggers.” Thereupon the others agreed. Anderson is said to have been introduced about town as “the man whq killed that lot of nig gers.” His only regret was that he would not be able to see the lace for the Perth cup. The chief justice said that he tried a similar case 18 months ago, but then only one black man was dogged to death, and the jury acquitted the prisoner alto gether. The facts In this case are peculiarly re volting, and the brutality revealed is of an almost incredible character. Seven abo riginals, three of whom were children, ran away from fibndhu, a station in the north west, which was managed by two brothers namedkAnderson. The reason for their flight was said to be that the slicepin their charge had strayed, and they were afraid to face the consequences. The Andersons pur sued and overtook them at another station 25 miles off. On the way back they were allowed no fopd. and on reaching Bcndhu they were tied up while the brothers had their dinner. Afterward the wretched natives were mercilessly flogged. “Candy, ” one of the adults, was first attacked. Alex ander Anderson beat him till ho was tired, and then his brother went on with the thrashing. Spider, the eldest native, tried to run away again, but was brought back and securely tied by the legs and neck. Then ho was flogged with such violence that he died. Biddy ar.d Polly met with the same fate. Even the children, Louie and Minnie, one 12 and the ether 8, wero flogged with the same knotted rope. Among the local community at Bamboo Creek tlje case was regarded with a dis graceful leniency. At the inquest the jury found that the aboriginals had “died from exhaustion;” a rider was added “censur ing” the brothers Anderson, and a ’bench of magistrates inflicted a few paltry lines on them for assault. Subsequently, by order of the public prosecutor, the bodies of the dead aborig ines "were exhumed, and after expert ex amination of the broken limbs an indict ment was brought.

If you ever uao one of those little fancy Japanese inetnl trays sold about the Streets for ash receivers, don’t put it on the stove, though that happens to be a handy place 1 for a circle of smokers to reach. That was j what the observant Jereeyman did the I other night at his country home. Heai’d bls sons were sitting alxtut a big . stove on a cold night, all smoking, and for convenience he put the ash receiver on a sort of shelf at the back of the stove against i the smoke pipe. When ho went to bed, he left the ash receiver there. The following morning his wife discovered it. It was per- I feet in appearance and form, and still held j the pile of ashes, burned match ends and 1 cigar butts which had been deposited in it the night before. She was about, to pick it I up. when she bethought herself that it I might bo hot. Taking something, there fore, to push it with, she attempted to slide ■ it off upon a plate. The moment she touched it the ash re ceiver lost its form, became liquid and ran off the stove upon the floor in a shining stream of white metal. The heat of the i stove bad lx?en sufficient to melt the pew ; ter of .which it was composed, and it bad probably stood there for hours, all in a liquid form, except the little crust of oxide and lacquer upon its cuter surface. This crust bad been coherent enough to keep the tray In form until a touch broke it, and then the whole bud collapsed.—New York Sun E. Y. M ALLARY, E. N. JELKS. President. Vice-President. J. J.
