We have been approached and
urged to advocate the candidacy
of a certain gentleman for the
position of Intendant of the town
Of Kingstree, but refused to do
so. 1t is incumbent upon the
voters of the town to elect the
man best fitted for The place, and
they viii do it. We will never
take upon ourselves the task Of
interfering in a local election.
While, of course, we will have per-
sonal preference and vote for the
man of our choice in every elec
ton, we will not sboom" any par
ticular candidate. We need a
live, progressive council and our
people will elect one. 1t is the
duty of all men TO come olt and
work for the best interests of his
town and we believe that every
man in hingstree will do this.
InMn election in a town like
Kingstree there are no party or
faclional lines. and it bchooves
every man to work and vote for
the best men for the positions OF
Intendant and Wardens.
Last week correspondent sug-
gesled the name of a man for the
position of Intendent; this week
another gentleman is suggested.
Both of them are men of undoubt-
ed integrity and ability and either
one of them would fill the posi-
ton with credit to both himself
and the town. Both gentlem, n
have friends and they will work
for ihe man of their choice. 1t
may be that neither of the gentle
men suggested will allow his name
used as a candidate, or probably
other names will presented. Lt
every man consider we'll the fitness
of the candidate before he casts
his ballot for him, and we are sure
the best man will win.

CUBASHOTLDBEFRE
Sencr Romero Makes an AS
founding Statement.
He SAYS THAT We PREVENTED IT.
Secretary Clay Said Thnt We Preferred
That Cuba should Remain In the
Possession OF spain-An Inter-
esting Fit of History.

New York, July lin a contribution
to the July number Of the North Amer
lean Review, giving a historical expla-
nation of the manner in which the
Spanish American colonies in the west
ern hemisphere became independent OF
Spain, Senior Romero. the Mexican min
lister TO the United States makes the
astounding statement that Cuba might
have been freed from Spain long ago
but for the action Of the United States.
Senior Romero asserts that after Boil
ivar had accomplished I'm 1924 the in
dependence of the northern half Of
South America he thought that his
task would not be finished untll the
Spanish were driven from Cuba and
Puerto Rico. since the possession Of these
islands would give Spain an important
foothold on this continent, from which
she could attack her revolving colonies
at any time.
Acting on this theory, the govern
ments of Mexico and Colombia outlined
plan of military operations for the
purpose OF accomplishing the independ-
ence Of Cuba.
When the government OF the United
States heard of this scheme Mr.. Clay,
secretary of state Of the United states,
addressed letter TO the Mexican and
Colombian ministers at Washington,
requesting that their governments
should suspend the operations they had
in view. since the United States would
prefer that Cuba should RENT IN in the
possession Of Spain rather than that
the island should fall under the SOW
ereignty OF England or Of France.
The question of the independence oi
Cuba was further considered In the
congress Of American nations which
met at Panama in 1926 and which wa.
attended by delegates from the United
States government and the idea o.
sending an armed expedition TO liber
ate Cuba was abandoned on account o
the opposition Of the government Of tn
United States.
Senor Romero's conclusion from a re
view OF the whole facts is that tn
United States did not In any practica
manner assist any Of the American col
onies OF Spain to achieve their inde
pendence. and he insists that the Unit
ed States did not recognize the inde
pendence Of any Of the colonies unit
several years after It had been full
accomplished.

The forests of Maine are said to grow
about as fast as the lumbermen can
cut them down, and that the state is
still supplied with an abundance Of
wild game is shown by the statement
of an eastern paper that $4,000 outsid-
ers have gone to Maine to hunt since
September is last. and Of these 500
have succeeded in getting caribou, 900
have killed moose and about $4,000
have gone home with one OF more deer
each. In addition to the above about
100 bears. $50 bobcats and loop-cerv-
iers and an unaccountable number Of
ruffed grouse and hares nave been
slain. It is little wonder that the game
