OOO Total.171.000 1 Cuba is about tho size of Now Volk, Ohio or Alabama. Porto Rico is a little smaller than Connecticut;. The Hawaiian Islands ai" somewhat, smaller than New Jersey, (ho largest island. Hawaii, being about twice the size of Delaware. The Philippines cover a land space about as great as New York and tho New England States together. Luzon, I on which Manila is situated, is not j much smaller than New York. All tho new dependencies together! aro about equal in aren to the Now England States. New York, Pennsyl vania and New Jersey. In annexing lands wo annex popula tions abo. These are as follows: Cuba--1,500,000; 05 per cent white. Porto Rico--1,000,000; 00 per cent i wliite. Hawaii-90,0(,i); 25 percent white. Philippines-8,000,000; mostly Orien tals. Sulus, Carolines, and Ladrones Mainly barbarous. Roughly, we annex about ten million people, ol' whom on per cent belong to more or less interior races. The resources of oui' annexed terri tory, like their area and population, have never been calculated with accu racy. Cuba produces sugar, cottee, tobacco, cocoa, cotton, indigo, rice and fruits. She has forests rich in rare woods, ami mountains abounding in iron, coal, cooper! marble and precious stones. Tho forests and the mines have been scarcely at nil worked. Only 10 per emit of the arable lands aro now under full cultivation.. Seven per cent is wholly unreclaimed, and 4 per cent of the island's aron is unex plored forest. The imports of the island were roughly estimated for 1804 at $50,000, 000, and thc exports at .$05,000,000. Porto Rico's products are substanti ally tho same as those of Cuba. In 1890 the island imported $18,000,000 worth of goods and exported $10,000, 000. Hawaiian exports coasist almost wholly of sugar. Its exports amount to $15,000,000 a year; its imports to $7,000,000. The Philippines produce sugar, hemp, tobacco and copra. Imports about $11,000,000 a year; exports about $20, 000,000. The Sulus produce teak and sandal wood. No statistics . of commerce exist. The Carolines are inhabited by Malay fisherman and produce nothing of value. Tho Ladrones are in like con dition. We have also annexed new climates. Tho Philippines, as all travelers agree, have a climate in w hich a man from the temperate zone cnn keep alive only with the greatest ditiieulty, and 1 can keep well only hy never forgetting for an instant to guard his health. Malaria is the lot of all who dwell there. Tropical fevers,' tropical plagues such as smallpox and leprosy, thrive and prey upon natives and newcomers. The air is hot as well as moist, and only tho most rigid comers from tem perate climates ure able to resist the universal, innate and incurable idle ness. Of Hawaii we already know much-a gorgeous beauty of sky and earth, a paradise in which lurks leprosy. In both theso domains tho only pos sible labor that is commercially pro ductivo is contract labor not distin guishable from tho harshest slavery. This fact is duo chiefly to tho climate. In Cuba the semi-tropical climate makes conditions tolorable only by tho acclimated by inheritance. Residence all the year round in the Cuban cities and plains is impossible for tho white racca. The heat and tho diseases bar tho white laborer. Porto Rico, called "tho most, health ful of tho Antilles/' is a delightful winter resort. Hut whito mon from tho United States will never live there longer than for the brief winter season. As a whol o tho new climates added to tho long-established American vari eties aro not attractive to tho healthy, vigoroa8 white races. These races will not labor in them, will not thrive in them, will not voluntarily live in them. And they stunt and weaken and ravago j and render indolent and savage tho j nativo races.

ATLANTA, GA., Nov. 29.-A special lo the Constitution from Knoxville, Tenn., snys: The local promoters of the Black Diamond Railroad scheme have receiv ed information that Sir Thomas Tan cred, the English engineer sent to this country by an English financial syndi cate, would recommend that, tho road be built by his people. Before starting for London tho engi neer stated to Col. Allier! K. Boone, of Zanesville, Ohio, tho chief promoter, and other prominent men interested in the deal, that lie would approve thu survey and recommend the invest ment. This is considered a consumma tion of the financing. Col. Boone has tho contracts for building the road, and expects to com mence work the 1st ol' next. Maj'. The road will extend from Port Boyal, S. C., to Columbus, Ohio, pene trating all tho coal fields of East Ten nessee and Kentucky, and passing through this city. It will be. 822 miles long, double, tracked and cost $40,000, 000. _ a m -_ Lessons in Agriculture. "The industrial agent of ono of our Southern railroad? luis hit upon a scheme that is rather novel, but which, if carried out will no doubt be. a good thing for our section," said Mr. N. T. Briggs, of Georgia. "Ile wants several hundred young Southern men ti? go on farms in North ern and Eastern States to learn tho methods employed by the wide-awake agriculturists of those sections. The chief idea is to have them learn the most scientific methods in fruit grow ing; dairying and the poultry business. In these, three lines the railroad official thinks t here is a magnificent opportu nity for money making in tho South, but there is need of trained and expe rienced men to manage each industry. "The plan in brief is that several young men from each station slong the line of the railroad system shall agree to goto country places in thu North, where, they shall remain not less than two years, lt is understood that only nominal wages shall he paid them, in cluding board and (dollies, in return for which they shall give their labor as regular farm hands, For this labor they shall bo well treated, and shall be instructed in tho most approved and modern methods of horticulture, tho production of butter and cheese, caro of fine stock and raising of all kinds of poultry, together with practical in struction in the marketing of all these. "This two years to be spent on Northern farms is, in tho opinion of thc promoter, worth all tho training of all agricultural schools in America, for | tho curriculum will not bo theoretical, but intensely practical.' Young men who avail themselves of t he chunco are expected to return to their Southern homes to give tho bene fit of ti e knowl edge they have gained to others in their locality. Their presence in the North, too, will, it is thought, kindle an interest among Northern people in tho region beyond tho Potomac, and accelerate the tide of desi table immi gration toward tho Sunny South."

There are, however, no cert ?Ilea tea to show; that Abbeville will have the requisito number of population and wealth left, as provided for, if lin* ter ritory involved leaves Abbeville Coun ty.
