While most of our people were
celebrating the glorious Fourth at
Red Bank, we accepted an invitation
from the Rev. W. D. Quick TO join
him and his son in barbecued din

three person, and their families and

NEW CHARTER OF Hh5ANA GIVES
ENLARGED POWERS.

Will Go Into Effect This Week. --Muni-
cipaIity Will Have Complete Control
of All Its Affairs.
Habana, July S-The new charter
of the city Of Habana will 60 into
effect Immediately after its publica-
ton, which will be made this week.
The powers of the recently elected
officials are hereby greatly increased.
The city will have control of all
matters within its bcundry, particu-
larly the esteb ishment and reg uation
OF the city administration, the adop-
ton of measures relating to the use,
arrangement or ornamentatlon OF
public ways, the comfort and health
of the Inhabitants, the promotion Of
their material and moral interests
and the security of their persons and
property.
Neither the central nor provincial
government shall have power tc
intervene in matters placed under
the control of The city officials. This
gives more complete power than was
ever before given to q municipality in
the island. The granting of char
ter to Habana will doubtless be
followed by the granting Of charters
to other cities as soon as the -docu-
ments can be prepared.
The orders for the removal of q
large number of troops from Cuba
recently issued have been gladly
welcomed by the Cubans, and Gen
Wood is in receipt Of many letters
from various municipalities Offering
thanks for what they Call his dispo-
sition to trust the Cubans, and de-
claring that the entire island is in a
state of absolute tranquility. The
Tenth infantry, it is believed, will
lesve the island shortly after the de-
parture of the regiments now under
orders to proceed home.
Gov. Wood probably will visit the
United States soon, leaving here next
Saturday to escort Mrs. Wood to the
United States.

Fine Corn.

Mr. Pat B:ckley, who resides near
Hilton in Dutch Fork, was In town
last Thursday and paid US business
and social call. He claimed to have
Just sold twenty bags Of sea island
cotton of this years growth, which
were raised on the rocky bills of his
farm and thought he would drop in
and replete our depleted treasury by
the addition of a cart wheel. Speak
ing of his corn crop be says that he
has the finest crop in the United
States. By way of illustration he
says the other day one OF his boys
climb corn stalk to see how the
corn was getting along, and ''now
the corn is growing up faster than
the boy can climb down. When be
left home tie boy was plum out OF
sight. Three men had undertaken
to cut down the stalk with axes
and save the boy from starvation, but
the stalk grew 80 fast that they
couldn't whack twice in the same
place. The boy is living on nothing
but raw corn, and at last reports he
had thrown down four bushels Of
cobs." Mr.. Buckley is losing no sleep
over the fate of his boy and philoso-
phically remarks that If the corn
keeps agrowin' the boy will solve the
problem as to the habitability Of the
planet Mars. Those who know Mr.
Buckley will attest to his varacity.
