government ownership of coal mines,

A special judiciary committee of the
house has reported favorably on tho
hill to increase tho salaries of judges
..f the superior court to St,000 a year.
Our judges nro certainly not over
paid and tho salary of the Chief Ex
ecutive of tho state is too small by far.
A poor man could hardly afford to
occupy the position, ns it requires
more than tho snlary paid him to sup
port his family and entertain in
manner that tho dignity of tho posi
tion requires. The State of Georgia
certainly should not be niggardly in
the matter of salaries.

New Orleans. Nov. 22.—The Pica

ing letter:
Port Barrios, Guatemala, Nov. 16.
Refugees who have arrived here this
week from western Gautemala report
a terrible state of affairs as a result
of the eruption of the Santa .Maria
volcano.
The country for a radius of over 30
miles has been made a desolate waste,
and every vestige of life destroyed.
The Iocs of life is estimated at over
'.000, the great majority of tho vie
tlms being Indians. Ten Indian vil
lages. each with a population of from
50 to 5,000 inhabitants, were wiped
out, the rude huts being burled be
neath tons of volcanic debris. Ail
of the coffee plantations in the vol
canic zone are ruined, and their own
ers left penniless. The coffee plan
tations In this region were the most
valuablo in tho country and their de
struction Is a severe blow to tho re
public.
Trying to Conceal Facts.
Tho govermuent has been making
tho most strenuous efforts to conceal
the facts concerning tho catastrophe,
but they aro gradually reaching the
towns on tho western coast througa
the refugees who aro fleeing from
the country. All cable messages con
taining reference to tho eruption of
tho volcano are rigorously censored
and oven the malls are closely in
spected by tho government officials.
The government hopes by concealing
the facts to prevent Gautcmala's
credit from being damaged abroad.
The effort to minimize the disaster
abroad, however, has failed to relievo
tho situation at home. The greatest
distress prevails throughout tho cen
tral and western portions of the requb-
lie, and even on the eastern coast tho
effects are felt In the scarcity ol
money and tho rise In exchange.
Famine at Quetzaltenango.
A famine prevails at Quetzaltenan
go, and 10,000 people are starving.
Even In GautemalaCIty, the capital,
the inhabitants are suffering for food.
Flour Is selling In Gautemala City
for $25 a barrel In gold, and rlco ol
an Inferior quality. Is quoted at 20
cents n pound In gold. The govern
ment Is utterly unablo to relievo tho
distress and suffering, and tho people
are on the verge of a revolution. The
only thing needed to start a formid
able uprising Is the appearance of a
leader.

In an Interview describing the situa
tion, said:
‘‘I was In Guatemala City looking
after my buslnoss Interests when the
terrible eruption of Nov. 6 occurred.
The shocks from tho explosion were
