Since all forms of government
should exist for the protection of the

stitute days work for all laborers,

FISH WHIPS VICTIM vIcIousLY.
Captain Had Periioas Fight with =
Strange Inhabitant of the Sea-


Strange Inh.bitant of the Sea-
Capt F. Dominick of a fishing
smack had fierce fight with an Ameri-
can whip sting ray. or devil fish, near
the Charleston Lightship. the other af-
ternoon. So far as the local fishermen
are able to say. this is the first fish of
its kind ever seen around the waters
of Charleston. and being unknown to
Dominick. he was naturally in bad
fighting shape before the sea monster
was finally killed. The ray had
wirelike tail five feet long. and when
this went slashing through the air and
descended with mighty force on the
back of the captain was more
alarmed than he cared to be. and it
was any mans game until the tail was
finally cut with a knife Capt. Domin-
lex said he was fishing In quiet waters
and his lines were hanging loosely
from his boat. Suddenly there was a
vicious pull at the line and the whip
stinger. weighing 125 pounds. came to
the surface The fish fought to get
away. and some of his teeth were
broken in the scramble. The tail be-
gan whipping the air as soon as it
came from the water, and Capt Dom
mick had to throw his hands to his
face to keep from having It lacer-
ated. Fortunately, big knife was
lying open In the boat, and with one
cut the tail was severed This some
what subdued the fish, and in a short
time Capt Dominick had it under con-
troll. The captain says he had never
seen a living specimen of the whip
sting ray before. and he was not pre-
pared for the onslaught from the mon
ster's tail. Further up the coast these
members of the piscatorial tribe are
not uncommon. but they are rare in
the waters hereabout-Atlanta Consti-

best hotels of the United States. The
cuisine of the dining car service alone
would have served to make this road
famous. They own and operate their
own sleeping cars which are built of

the latest conveniences, among which

Future of That Country.
An army friend Of mine Just home

says that Americans are not very pop

resent their presence and chafe at hav-
Ing to obey the laws enforced by the
Americans. In fact, he had frequent
ly Of late heard Cubans state in clubs
and cafes that II they had to choose
between the two races, the American
Or the Spanish, as to which should ex-
ercise control over their destinies, they
would unhesitatingly choose the rule
OF Spain. The Cubans. in spite of all
that has occurred. look upon Spain as
the mother country; they speak the
same language, and being of the same
blood, think that their characters. aims
and ambitions are therefore better un-
derstood by the Spaniards than by the
Americans Among other things that
have tended to make our control un-
popular in the island my friend
thought large part was due to GER
tain orders that had been promulgated
by those in authority. Stopping bull
fighting greatly angered the Cubans.
But it was another order that most in

them to their own devices. My friend
does not consider the Cubans as being
capable OF self-goyernment or of any
thing approaching 1t, and looks for all
sorts OF trouble TO follow after they
start in to govern themselves. He
says that all the materials for a scrap
exist there. and once our restraining
hand is removed. all sorts of compli-
cations will be likely to ensue. Emil
grants will not go to Cuba SO long as
such uncertainty as to its future ex-

outlook for many reasons would be
by no means clear.
