The country, vastly rich in re sources of mines, fields and sea, has come into its own—and all because of the canal. Panama has no bonded debt upon which to pay interest. It has invested In gilt-edge mortgages In the United States $('*,000,000, bringing in an in come yearly of about 4 1-2 per cent. There is $300,000 on deposit to guar antee the parity of its currency, and. after this year, the United States will pay a perpetual yearly rental of $250,000 for the canal. The income from taxation amounts to about $5,000,000 yearly, and there is no army, no navy, and no expen sive courts to keep up. All money is available for improvements, and Pan ama is the only nation collecting in terest on its own money instead of paying out interest on loans. Schools Are Numerous. There is one school to every 1G5 children of school age in Panama, and I nowhere in the country are there) enough unemployed laborers to sup ply the demand for workers, and the 1 large mining, agricultural and timber j Interests are forced to import labor to operate their plants. The country is rich in gold and ( hardwoods. There Is a fine field for agriculture and cattle raising. The | United States has made the cities | clean and healthy, and the interior j of the country always was so. And so, after hundred* of years of strife, i Panama has come into its own. Famed for Its Fish. The waters of the Pacific' Ocean at Panama abound in splendid fish, I and there is a tradition that the name , Panama was the old Indian word for | a i "place of abundance of fishes." At all events, after the execution of Bal boa In 1519, the Spaniards began to explore the Facile Coast and found a small fishing village called Pan ama, and on August 15, 1519. Gover nor Pedrarlas announced that the place would be the site of his future capital, and established the first per manent settlement in the New World. Two years later a royal decree made Panama a city, and it became the seat of a bishop. For 30 years expeditions were sent out from Panama in search of gold, and from here, in 1524, were started the voyages of Plzarro and Almagro which ended In the discovery of Peru and the vast wealth of that country.! On April 3, 1527. an expedition went overland through the divide at Cule- bra and sailed down the Chagres River to the Atlantic, traversing ex actly the same route which the ships will take when the canal is finished. Panama was far from being a quiet place. Whenever the ships came In from Peru laden with gold and jewels there usually was a fight for some part of it. Pirates and contrabandists har assed the isthmus, but the city of Panama grew, and before 1550 the place had some 3,000 inhabitants, with about as many more in the outposts, and a cathedral had been built. Harried by Pirates. This period saw the rise and de cline of Panama. Spain’s own deca dence played a great part In the fall, as did the attacks of the English and French on the trade of the Indies and the inability of. Panama to develop its own resources as the translsth- mian trade decreased. But the pi rates and buccaneers did more than anything else to wreck the country. Morgan and Drake and the others burned the towns, killed the inhabl iants, and stole the plunder which bad been brought up from the south. In 1671 the old city of Panama was destroyed and a few' years later the present city, a few miles away, was founded in what was believed to be a safer place. To shut out the pirates and the enemies of Spain a sea wall was built around the new town in 1674, and it w r as successful. The King's Jest. This wall, which is still standing, cost so much money that the King of Spain said that he did not under stand why he could not see it by sim ply looking to the west out of the windows of his palace. Actually the wall Is about 3(T feet high and of the same width, earth. The milestone*! in Panama, after the independence from Spain in 1821, are the completion of the Panama Railroad (1855) and the start of the construction of the Panama Canal, in 1881. The first 70 years after the new town was built were quiet ones, marked by good government, but still years in w'hich Panama was prostrate, because of the abandonment of the trade route. Then came 90 years ot internal strife, and finally, on Novem ber 28, 1821, came the declaration of independence from Spain. Panama was the last of the South American colonies to declare inde pendence. The social movement, in Europe epitomized by the French revolution, made headway on the Isthmus slow ly. When the other col onies were deserting Spain Panama remained loyal, the loyalty being based largely on incompetence. The lack of ethic unity on the Isthmus, of economic independence, distrust of Bogota, with whom her revolutionary destinies must be placed, and the presence of strong garrisons, all had an influence on that loyalty, and the home Government in 1814 conferred upon the Panamanian cities the title of "Faithful.” Colombia Rule Unhappy. Until February 8, 1822, it was an Independent State. Then it became the Department of the Isthmus of the new Republic of Colombia, and its troubles, far from being over, contin ued almost without check until 1903, when the independence from Colom bia was effected. The period of Colombian rule was one of strife, for w r hen Colombia happened to furnish a capable and kindly Governor, the Panamanians themselves waged an internal row’. In 1903 the United States attempt ed to deal with Colombia in an effort to build the Panama Canal. In the fall of that year it became apparent that the government at Bogota, the capital of Colombia, would not ratify the treaty allowing the United States to construct the waterway. Then fol lowed the bloodless revolution of No vember, 1903, when, with the assist ance of the United States. Panama became Independent of Colombia. Treaty Ends Trouble. On February 26. 1904, Panama signed a treaty with the United States which practically ended its troubles for all time, for then it be came a protectorate of the United States, which since then has assisted largely in choosing its Presidents, cleaned up it?? cities,‘and contracted to pay It enough money to make it the most independent country, finan cially. in the world.

Two timely proclamations concern ing Georgia's means of combating an impending agricultural disaster the coming of the boll weevil—were an nounced Saturday. One came from Joseph A McCord, vice president of the Third National Bank of Atlanta, and the other from Phil Campbell, State agent in charge of the Farmers’ uo-operative Demonstration \\ ork in Georgia. "How we have survived our com mercial creed of the past is puzzling, said Mr. McCord. "We must now- change to a program of diversified farming and the production of our own food supplies. Else every retail or bank credit will be a doubtful quantity." Mr. Campbell’s advice was specific. He said: "The key to the situation lies with the merchant and banker, as well as with the farmer. They must lend money to farmers on other crops than cotton; secure a competent farm demonstrator for each county two or three years in advance of the boll weevil; establish markets in every small town for grain, hay, live stock and truck crops; refuse credit to farmers not producing sufficient food crops for farm consumption.” Mayor Firm Against Full Alarm Price Mayor Woodward Saturday took a firm stand that he would not con sent to pay more than $8B,000 for the new fire alarm system, the moral obligation contract price for which is $106,000. The Mayor claimed there was not $106,000 value in the sys tem. There is no chance of any agree ment before next year.
