The Stato Department has already turned ovor to tho Spanish War Claims Commission, which is Hoon to begin its work, claims aggregat ing over $30,000,000. Theso claims aro those of American oiti/ens, so called, and four-fifths of thom are Spanish or Cubans in reality. Dur ing th a insurrection many Cubans and Spanish in business in Cuba thought it wise to attain unto the high estate of American citizenship for reasons best known to them selves. How wise tiley wore is shown in tho claims for damages thoy are making now against this govern ment. To show tho nature of the claims of these American citizens it is well enough to pick out some. Hollis Axer, for instance, claims that ho was illegally arrested, and his indignation and mortification is placed at 1220,000. Senora Enrique A. O tuzo suffered tho loss of lier husband, and her grief comes at $100,000. In some sort of melee the son of Manuel F. Lopez was killed. The old man thinks that $101,000 in American money will lighten his sor row some. Mrs. Cornelia de O taza claims that her husband was killed and will he satisfied willi her widowhood if Uncle. Sam will pay her $100,000. Mrs. Dolores Sanchez Chabau was so humiliated because her husband was thrust into prison that it will take $0,000 to comfort her. George Calvar was arrested and thrown in prison. The degradation will be forgotten by him if Uncle Sam will fork over $100,000. Victor Hohenstein managed to land in jail against his will also. Ile is willing to regard it a blessing in disguise if Uncle Sam will give him $200,000. Francesco J. Larrieu got in jail too. Ho wants Iiis American citizen ship vindicated to tho tune of $250, 000. Samuel T. Tolon complains of $50,000 worth ol' personal injuries. But his person does not appear to be as sacred to him as his business. The insurrection and war made times dull, and he thinks the American government ought to award him $205,000 for damage to his business. Horseshoes weighing an ounce each and just a trifle larger than a silver dollar, were turned out in a California shop recently. They were made for a shetland pony 6 months old, and small for its age. The costliest dresses in the world are worn by the women of Sumatra. They are made of pure gold and sil ver. After the metal is mined and smelted, it is formed into fine wire, which is woven into cloth and after ward made into dresses. Iowa, almost from the date of its admission, has been (tailed the "Hawkeye Slate." Hawkoye was the name of a noted Indian Chief, whe -ti the early days, caused no little trouble along the western bor der of American civilization. A suit for $50 damages, which had been in court at Portage, Wis., for more than two years, and the costs for which had run into the thousands, was decided tho other day by the award of $20. The participants, had nearly bankrupted themselves. In thc year 1800 tho territory of the United Stales was 815,244 square miles; in 1900 it is II,708,521 square miles. This is an expansion of nearly 3,000,000 square miles in 100 years, lt is the most amazing record of territorial growth ever made by a nation. When a man thinks nobody cares for him, and he is alone in a cold, selfish world, he would do well to ask himself the question : "What have I done to make anybody care for and love me, and to warm the world with failli and generosity ?" It is generally the ease that those who complain the most have done the least. A Cape Towno correspondent has interviewed Mrs. DeWot, wife of the Hoer general. She said : "You Kng lishmcn will never catch my hus band. Ho is going to win back for the Free Slaters and Transvaalers what they have lost. Ile has enough food and ammunition to last for three years, and that is just how long thc war is going to last." in ordinary apple years the waste of skin and cores amounts to 600 to 000 carloads, and during yenrs of abundant yield it runs as high as 1,200 to 1,500 carloads. All this waste now goes to the factories which make cheap jellies. There aro upward of 1 10 of these factories in this country now, and they have an annual capacity of some 200,000, 000 pounds. To Reduce the Crop. Whether acted upon or not, this from tho Atlanta Journal of Wednesday, is| no ind bio: Evory farmer In Qoorgla and every othor Southorn State should Btrivo to I get to hts county seat next Saturday, April ?, to attend the meotings looking to tho reduction of cotton aoroago and tho further diversification of orops. Present ruling prices for eotton to bo dollvored in tho fall months will not justify moro than 0 or di oents for the farmers. It generally happons that when so much cotton is coming to market in tho fall months prices shrink, so it is within tho range of possibilities to soo 4-cout cotton agaiu this fall, if tho present tendency of prices bo main tained. Farmors should always remember1 that: 11,000,000 bales at 5 couts moans $275,* 000,000. 10,000,000 bales at 0 couts moans $300, 000,000. 0,000,000 bales at 7 couts mean? $315, 000,000. 8,000,000 bales at 10 couta means $400,-1 000,000. Tho smaller tho crop tho bottor aro tho returns por aero. .Spinners aro reducing consumption because they com plain of slack trade aud high prices for cotton. Lot tho farmer reduce ids production accord ingly, and in placo of tho extra amount of cotton lot him plant grain, potatoes, vegetables, watermelons, cane, sorghum and rico where possible. Diversification has already abundantly prospered Southorn farmors. Koop it "P._ Spring coughs aro especially dangerous and unless cured at once, serious results often follow.

Pierpont Morgan & Co., of New York, who solioit sub scriptions to tho stock of tho Asso ciated Merchants Company. The company is capitalized at $20,000, 000, and proposes to acquire dry goods businesses or interests in this and other cities. Tho prospectus states that a one-half interest has| been secured in both tho II. Ii. Clalln Company and the Adama Dry Goods Company of Now York City. The combine has bought outright I tiic store of James McCreory & Company of tho same city. A Dispensary Robbed. The dispensary at Darlington was robbed last Saturday night. It is evident from all information that can be obtained that the entrance was made by putting a boy through the sky-light of the back door.

Tho man in charge has the confidence of every ono in Darlington, and tho re is no doubt that tile robbery was committed. Wu and McLaurin. It is likely that tho Manufacturer's Club will invite the Chinese minister to como to Columbia and deliver an address.

Mr. South wood Smith, of Gai nett, is another heir in this Stale. Some of those interested will look into tho matter and sec if there is any possibility of securing tho estate.

Tho schedule now hoing mailed to tho rico planters contains a number of im portant questions covering methods, costs, oto. From tho data Guts collected together with tho statistics gathorod by tho census enumerators, it is hoped to compilo a bulletin which will compre hensively show the extent and value of tho irrigation plants/tho acreage culti vated under them, and many other im portant facts connected with this indus try.

A company was organized in Winstoad, Conn., last Wednesday, with a capital of $'20,000 to engage in tho husinoss of raising black casts for their skins. A skin of a black cat is worth 50 cents on the market. People in the "Ridge" section of South Carolina, where a great deal of land is devoted to fruit raising, have been very much alarmed lately in the fear that tho fruit would be killed. The crop now seems to he safe. A comprehensive compilation of tho facts relating to this rapidly growing branch of agriculture will have no small influence, on tho future progress of rico cultivation In tho South, and tho conse quent development of huge arcas of new territory therein. As the volume and value of those sta tistics will depend upon Hie interest shown in tho inquirios by those engaged in the cultivation of rice, the director earnestly requests that all to whom t ho schedules aro addressed will make prompt and careful reply.

Whito mon did not ro gan! a negro equal to them and there never was ono onlistcd. The Confede rate soldiers did not expect ono nogro to light to keep tho rest of his raeo in slavery. Abraham Lincoln used to say that such a negro deserved death. John Mitchell was always a freo nogro as wo understand; went to tho army as a cook at $12 a month for his services. Ho was not an enlisted soldior and under tho pension law lio could not properly ho allowed a pension. Evory cont of monoy paid out to him as a pensioner has been taken from somo man to whom it was justly duo. If ho did any par ticularly meritorious work his friends should have had a special law passed to reach freo nogro cooks.
