OPPOSITION TO sBARRETTI.
The Cubans Want IA Bishop who Is
Distinctly CUBAN.

Havana. Jan. N-Gen. Ramiro said to-
day regarding the appointment of Mgr.
Sbarretti as Bishop of Havana:
1.-The Cubans have shed their blood in
order that everything in the island might
be born again. When Cuba was Spanish
colony the officials and clergy were Span
iards. Now that she is a free country,
such dignitaries should be Cubans Cuba
needs independence in matters religious as
well as political. If Mgr Sbarretti does
not take into account the feelings of Gu
bans, but accepts the bishopric, he will
be indeed the genuine representative of an
irritating usurpation."

Douglas, Ga, Jan. 26.-J NJ. Grower. a
white man claiming Tattnan county as
his home, struck Inc city Wednesday night
and went to Mr.. ]. H. Moore's place of
business and represented himself as rev.
enue officer demanding a United States
revenue tax of $40 from Moore for retailing
malt liquors. Moore paid over the $40
Grower receipted him for it, and filled
out license blank, which Moore had
on hand expecting to commence the sale
OF Adams ale. a drink that is manufac-
tured in Savannah and pretty generally
sold in the dry counties of This section.
Yesterday morning Grower sought out
Mr.. Moore and returned 1915, having PAID
the notary public the other % cents for
witnessing license signature, and told MT
Moore that he was not a government off,
Ger, and did not want the money; that
he was subject to severe affection of the
head, he had taken morphine yesterday
and drank whisky to alleviate the pain,
all combined making him partially dement,
ed for the time; that at the time he really
believed that he was a revenue officer but
with the morning came sober thought, and
the whole transaction appeared to him as
a dream. Then it was he sought to rem
edy the wrong done.
Moore sued a warrant for cheating and
swindling, to which charge, with his state
ment above given, he pleaded guilty in the
City Court, and was sentenced to pay a
fine of $40 and all costs or serve six months
IN the chain-gaug of Coffee county. He
stated that this was his first arrest for
any offense, and had rather take the con-
sequences than for his family to know
of his disgrace, by asking their aid to pay
his fine.

Southern Pine Company of Georgia, has

Iey's Running Mate.

Assistant Secretary of the Interior and
formerly Mayor of Kansas City has an
ambition to become President McKinley's
running mate this fall, according to the
Star.
The statement says:
Davis closest friends here believe that
he went to South Africa on some mission
other than in search of health. One of
Mr.. Davis warmest admirers tells of
conversation he had with the Assistant
Secretary of the Interior nearly a year
ago. lie said:
81 called on Mr. Davis in regard to
pension claim. He introduced me 10 Cor
nelius Bliss Bliss talked of the future of
Davis in politics. Afterward we went over
to see the President. Mr.. Mckinley de-
clared that Davis was destined TO be a
great man in the history of the nation. The
President questioned me as to the stand
ing of Davis in the West. and said Mis-
souri, would be very proud of him
after we left the White House Davis
told me he was slated for the nomination
for Vice President He declared the Pres
ident had taken up the situation with him.
Mckinley believes that Davis can carry
Missouri for the Republican ticket.
He was sent on his stamping tour of
Ohio aud out West for no other purpose
than to let the people see him. The trip
TO South Afrvica is nothing more than a
move on the part of the Republican check
er board to bring Davis into prominence.
