Washington, May 24. — Consul Mc« Nally writes from Liege that the pub lication of the world's statistics by the Universal Postal Union, at Berne, de velops some interesting facts from which he deduces that from the amount or nature of a country’s cor respondence one cannot estimate its commercial activity or development along other lines. Following is the arrangement .In the order of their importance bf the num ber of letters and postal cards pass ing through the postofflce for 1905 of countries having over 20 per head: Great Britain, 78.3 per head of popu lation; United States, 67.6; New Zea land, 66.3; Switzerland, 59.7; Ger many, 55.9; Denmark, 41.6; Austria, 38.2; Argentine, 37.2; Luxembourg, 34.6; Holland, 31.1; .Belgium, 29.4; Sweden, 26.4; France, 26.2; Norway, 20.5. . . , It is evident that the development of instruction cannot be seen from the greatest correspondence, for coun tries having compulsory ‘education, such as France, Denmark and Nor way, hold a mediocre place, while other countries noted for the percent age of illiteracy are well in the front. It is singular to note that the citizens of Austria and Denmark write more letters than do those of France. Bel gium ranks eleventh in the list. A commercial' status or other develop ment does not figure, or both France and Belgium would hold a better posi tion. It is seen that those of Anglo- Saxon blood correspond more fre quently than do those' of the Latin races. Great Britain derives the greatest profits from her postal system, net ting annually about $23,438,627, the second country being Russia with $20,* 595,595 profltk Russia'is not consid ered a letter-writing country, and its printed matter is restrained, and yet upon its peculiar system it derives good profits. The (Russian postofflce department employs 65,187 persons, while Germany employs 263,517. Japan employs 61,430, or almost as many as Russia, but its profits are compara tively small. will relieve these muscular strains and the sooner applied,the better.: We are on the alert for a defect un discovered by your former oculist or optician.

HARRIS PLUMBING CO. Two Men in Crowd at Hoke Smith Meeting Engaged in Duel — Many Shots Were Fired. Columbus, Ga., May 23.—A special to the Enquirer-Sun from Shipley, Ga., says that an outdoor political meeting addressed by Holte Smith was broken up there today by a pistol duel in the edge of the crowd in which Joe Has- tey, a farmer, was killed, and John Ir vin, his slayer, was killed three blocks distant by a crowd who pursued him. -j. It is reported that bad feeling had existed between the two on account of a small debt—fifteen cents—and when they met at the speaking today the quarrel was renewed. In spite of efforts to calm them, they began shoot ing, with the result that Hastey fell, dying almost instantly. Irvin ran, fol lowed by several men whose identity is not known. The pursuers kept up a fusilade of shots and about three blocks distant from the meeting Irvin fell, pierced by a number of bullets, dying immediately. About sixty-five shots were fired*/ Two spectators at the political meeting were slightly wounded by stray bullets. Some Interesting Postal Sta tistics and Comparisons.
