CUBA IN FAVOR ]
 OF INDEPENDENCE Considerable Feeling Against
 U. s. in Havana
 BRANTLYOf GEORGIA TALKS He Believes the Patt Amendment
He Believes the Platt Amendment VIII Be Accepted, Because the
 Leaders Realize They Will
 Have To Do So.

Atlanta. April s-A special to the Con- stitution from Brunswick, Ga.. says:
 Congressman William Brantly, who has just returned from months tour of Cubas said tonight that the genuine Cuban was in favor of independence He said there was considerable feeling against the United States in Havana, which he characterized as ''the hetbed of Cuban politics."
 'sThe Platt amendment Is not received with much favor anywhere" said Con- gressman Brantly, 'and yet believe it will be accepted for the simple reason that the Cuban masses will ultimately realize what their more thoughtful lead CTS already recognize that they have no discretion in the matter. As one of the leaders said to me, the only question we have to consider is what the United States is willing to do for us. We can not afford to antagonize the United States
 With some authoritative declaration explaining what the Platt amendment means, limiting and fixing the number of coaling stations and declaring specifically under what circumstances the United States government may intervene in Gu ban affairs. I believe the amendment would be promptly accepted
 '"The possibilities of Cuba under Lib eral and enlightened government are all most beyond calculation. With less than 10 per cent of the island under cultiva- ton, Cuba still produces one-fourth the sugar crop of the world. The Cuban Cen tral Railroad is now being built, and this will connect one end of the island with the other. and this will be a great factor in the development of the island"

A FAIR sWINDLER.
Young Woman Works Of Worthless
 Check In Selma.

Selma, April (SpeciaL)-A wo. man, rather fair to look upon and well dressed, registered at the Hotel Al bert Saturday as Miss Cone Tn the afternoon she went out to make some purchases and at the jewelry store of J. Hirchfleld saw a ring that caught her fancy. She presented check for $35 signed by M. J. Maurray and drawn on the First National Bank of New York. It was made payable to Cecil Everette and was endorsed by Cecil Everette. MT. Hirchfield re fused at first to take the check, but upon the identification of a young man at the hotel decided to take it and gave the woman g in change. A telegram was sent in the afternoon to New York and yesterday morning came an answer that the check was worthless.
 On the police department being in- formed, the officers went to the hotel to find the woman, who had taken a night train for Mobile. The wires were tapped, but the chief of police received telegram this morning say ing that the woman had gone on to Macon, Ga, but she had stated to a party that she had "an easy thing in Selma"

BESSEM E R.
Large Sales Made By Bessemer Land
 and Improvement Company.

Bessemer. April s.-(Special.) 1.-The Bes- semer Land and Improvement Company, in a recent statement issued, showed that since the recent election to the presi- dency of the company of MT. H. L. Bad ham sales of real estate aggregating A4.- 475 have been made. Most of these sales were of unimproved property bought by parties desiring to build homes thereon or houses for rental purposes. A few lots only were bought merely for speculation Never before in the city's history has E there been such steady demand for real estate. The prices asked are reasonable and encourage people to make permanent investments
 Easter was happy day in Bessemer The churches were filled morning and night The pulpits were occupied by the regular pastors. all of whom preached sermons appropriate to the day. The First Methodist, the Episcopal and the Catholic Churches were profusely deco rated with flowers. growing plants and evergreens. Last night the Coral Work CTS. the juvenile missionary society of the First Methodist Church, carried. out a most interesting programme of music and recitations under the direction of their leader, Mrs. E.. c. Leeper. Among the especially good features of the pro- gramme was the welcome address by Master David Trotter, son of MT. and Mrs. James Trotter, and a solo by Miss Florrie Little. Every seat in the large church was occupied.

Should Go Slow.

From the Limestone Democrat.
 The University trustees should go very slow in the matter of trading the univer- sity lands for the ostensible purpose of "bodying them up." It seems to us that the other side is more anxious to get the university lands than the institution should be to get theirs. Why not lease the university lands to the Sloss Com pany? Why trade at all? Even experts may be deceived by surface indications in coal lands. The trustees ought not to be too eager to settle matters when they have every advantage both of law and equity They should go slow-very slow.

 It is pretty well settled that the entire Democratic vote will be cast for the con vention and the Democratic nominees for : delegates. The negroes are expected to vote against disfranchising themselves, but as the Democratic platform plainly says no white man shall be disfranchised except for infamous crimes there Is no reason for apprehension on the part of the most ignorant white man.

Trial by Mob.
From the Anniston Star.

From the Anniston Star.
 A friend has handed the Evening Star a clipping from a Marshall (Texas) paper, giving an account of the action of a mob in that city in storming the jail and talk ing from 1t a negro charged with the usual crime. Instead of hanging the negro, however. the mob gave him trial and put him back in jail to await legal exc cution. The case is the only one of the kind on record, and the Texas paper said that while the action of the mob was not popular with all who composed it, sober second thought resulted in very general approval of the course taken.

Athens, April S.-(Special.)-The first failure in business circles in near ly two years took place last night in t.-is place, when the grocery firm of Henderson & Co. made an assignment, naming MT. J.

The firm was composed of two very popular business men, and they sold too heavily on credit and failed to make their expected collec- tions, and as a result they went to the wall They will be able to settle dollar for dollar, 1t is thought.

Action of a Great People.

From the Columbiana Chronicle.
 The deplorable results of the terrible tornado in Birmingham have been met by the citizens of that city in a de- termined effort to overcome all difficult ties, take care of the needy ones and relieve all suffering without the aid of outside help. This Is commendable, the confidence and ability of a great people and great city to take care of itself at all times and under all circumstances and conditions.

Negroes VIII Be There.

From the Alexander City Outlook.
 Rest assured that every mothers son of the colored race will be at the polls on election day to cast his vote against the constitutional convention, and for the Re- publican nominees for delegates. This fact alone should bestir every white man to do his duty on that day That day will be the great day of settling accounts-draw- ing the line as to whether or not we will each carry a "Sambo'' on our back as we have done for the past thirty years.

Handle Factory Resumes.

From the Jackson South Alabamian.
 There is a prospect-we might say a certainty-of an early resumption of work at the handle factory, which has been idle since the departure of MT. Wilson last fall The new arrangement has not yet been completed in all its details, but we have every assurance of the early con- summation of the deal This will mean much to Jackson. Our people should make an effort to increase the number of fac tories. They are the life of a town.
