We printed a story the other day of the
ambidexterity of Senator Tillman, in
which It was stated that he could write
two letters at the same time. The Rev
Editor Sheldon, 1t seems. possesses an ac-
complishment which is quite as unique.
He reads two lines of printing at a time
and has given Instructions to his writers
that they shall make the lines of their
typewritten copy close together so that
he may read two lines at a time. This, it
is said, has been his custom from child
hood. Many men are able 10 see double,
upon occasions, but not as Mr.. Sheldon
does.

THE erection of a thirty-minion-dollar
steel plant in Canada, to turn out Z. 400 tons
or rails, bars, billets and sheets of nickel
steel per day. is an enterprise more
threatening to the industries of the United
states than the future determination of
the boundary of Alaska or the quest ton of
whether or not we shall fortify the Mica
rague canal If ever we shall succeed in
digging it. The Canadians have the nickel
and iron ore beds in convenient contiguity.
and they can get coal supplies from the
United States at no greater compa rative
operative disadvantage than that imposed
upon our manufacturers, who have TO
transport their ores TO their coal. The
Canadians will also have the advantage of
reaching foreign markets by all water
routes during the period of open naviga-
ton"
Speaking of the exodus of negroes from
North Georgia, the Richmond (va-) Dis

vail in Georgia 1t remains to be seen what
relief measures the future may necessi-
tate. In the country districts the COM
plant is made that the negro labor has
lett Tor the cities. In our cities the COM
plant is that the supply of domestic SER
wants is sadly inadequate in consequence
of the great number of colored women,
who, after getting a little training here,
leave for the North, where larger wages
are paid them. And so 1t goes. Homes for
hundreds of cooks, washers, house-maids,
etc, are open in Richmond to colored wo-

There were stories In the papers some
time ago alleging that Gen. Wheeler was

because Gen. Otis had pushed him into

signment Of any importance- 1t appears
upon the authority Of Gen. Wheeler him
self, that he had quit i lot Of fighting.
He was in two engagements at Santa Rita
in one at Porac eleven at Angeles, and
one at Bamban. or fifteen fights in five
months. ITO the end Of my life" he told

Secretary Root doe not seem to be on
so much of a junket 20 Cuba as were
some other statesmen who have visited
the island. The Secretary has been max
ing good use of his eyes and mis- ears, and
occasionally of his tongue also, TO lin
tied extent. What he has said to the
Cubans should have a reassuring effect
upon them.
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1900-03-17
CUBAN INDEPENDENCE CERTAIN.

The assurance that Secretary Root gave
the Cubans respecting their independence
ought to satisfy them that it is the in
tension of the United States to deal fairly
with them. There has been a suspicion in
their minds that they were to be decelv-
ed Nothing has occurred which justified
them in harboring such a suspicion. The
President assured them in his message
that the resolution of Congress in respect
90 their independence would be obeyed and
Secretary Root told them that there is no
doubt that they will be given absolute con-
troll of their own affairs.
1t is probable that Americans in the
Island have alarmed them by asserting
that the United States have never intend
ed to give Cuba independence. No
doubt these Americans are sincere in hold
ing that view. There are tens of thous-
ands of Americans at home who feel sat
isfled that Cuba will never be an indie
pendent state 1t is certain, however, that
she will, unless something happens to pre-
vent-something not now expected.
On one point Secretary Root could not
satisfy the Cubans, and that was when
they would be given control of their own
affairs. AS a matter of fact they are not
yet prepared TO manage their own affairs.
There would be trouble in the island
at once if the United States should with
draw now and leave them in charge of
the government. There would not only
be trouble, but there would be civil war.
Before it will be safe for the United
States TO withdraw the machinery of gov
eminent will have to be in running order,
and men qualified to direct the machinery
will have to be found and placed in charge
of the principal offices There is a great
deal to be done before Cuba will be ready
to be launched as an independent state,
but she will be launched in good time.

Justice was swift in the case of the
Goobys, in Appling county. On March 5
they committed an atrocious murder upon
the person of Mr. Minis, a respectful BILE
and prosperous farmer, and murderous
assault upon his wife and child. Ten days
later they had been arraigned, tried and
convicted in a court of law and sentenced
to be hanged on April zone month after
the crime. The Appling court is to be
congratulated upon its justice and expe-
diton. The murderers richly deserve the
rope; and they will get it, In a legal and

A PRESENT OF TIME
Simonton Gives the Railroads
Three Months More.
The Extension viii Date From August l4th.
Corporation Attorneys Fight it vainly.
Masters Hearing Not Called.
Especial to News and Observer. J

Wilmington, n c., June 23.-Upon mo-
ton for the attorneys for the railroad
Judge Simonton this morning granted
them three months additional time for
the taking of testimony in the railway tax
assessment cases. The extension of time
will date from August 14th, upon which
date testimony will be taken at Charlotte
the other hearings being at various places
in the State to suit the convenience OF
the attorneys and witnesses.
The attorneys for the Corporation Com
mission combatted the motion for the OK
tention of time upon the ground that the
time allotted the railroads was about to
expire, and there was no logical reason
for such procedure. The masters hearing
was not called at all, the argument and
extension having been made previously
by Judge Simonton.
Judge Shepherd came this morning and
returned this evening. The visiting at
torneys were Col. Hinsdale. r. o. Burton

SPEAKING AT GARNER.
Messrs. Atwater, Whitaker and Broughtor
Address an Enthusiastic Crowd.

Messrs. n. 3. Broughton, Spier
Whitaker and j. w. Atwater, mem
Der of Congress for this district, spoke
last night at Garner to not less than
200 people. Most of them were whites.
The speeches were exceptionally fine
and convincing. The people almost
to a man were convinced that the pro-
posed Constitutional Amendment is
not only q salutary, but a necessary
measure, and they will support it.
The speeches were all of a high or
der, but Mr.. Broughton made the
speech of his life. He was enthusiast
tically cheered, and after the others
had finished, he was called for again,
but owing to the lateness of the hour
did not respond.
This is the largest crowd that has
ever attended a political speaking
here, and it shows that the people
are interested in the Amendment.
Many who have been undecided how
they would vote on this question open
ly announced their intention to sup
port it.
The whites 'of this section will vote
almost to a man for the Amendment.
