THE RECIPROCITY TREATY.
Its Advocates Think They can Meet Cuba's OBJ

(By the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated PfeSS.)
Washington. Oct 2S.-The fact record
cd in the news dispatches from Havana
that President Palma has returned to
Washington the draft of the reciprocity
treaty without his approval has not
shaken the belief of the officials here
that they will have a treaty ready to
submit to Congress by the date of its
next meeting. Generally stated. the
Cuban objections are based on a behef
that the United States has demanded
undue concessions in the remissions OF
duties on United States products enter
ing Cuba, ranging all the way from ~
per cent to so per cent, in return for a
20 per cent cut on Cuban sugar and to-
bacco coming into the United States. AS
the difference is one strictly of figures
and not of principle, it is the opinion at
the State Department that it can be
settled amicably.
AS sites for coaling stations, Nipe, on
the north coast. and Cienfuegos and
Guantanamo, on the south coast of the
island, will be chosen as permanent To-
cations

Wilson, N. c., Oct. 2S.-The North
Carolina Christian Missionary ConVen-
ton opened today with a large attend
ance of delegates and ministers present.
Delegates are arriving on every incoming
train The time was occupied today by
the Christian Woman's Board OF Mis-
sions The reports showed that more
money was raised for State missions
by this board this year than ever before,
and the outlook is constantly brighten
ing The work of this board has shown
up better among the children than dur
ing any previous year.
Several good papers were read, but the
principal address of the day was deliv-
cred by Mrs. L. NJ. Omer, of Asheyille.
She spoke very earnestly of doing Chris
tian work among the children. She used
several Bible illustrations showing how
important it is that young people be
consecrated to God. Daniel, and the
three Hebrews, Shadrach, Meshach and
Abednego remembered God in their
youth and the results of this were far
reaching. The little captive maid who
lived in the home of Naaman was in
strumental in leading her master to God,
because she herself had been trained to
serve God. Esther was unframed in the
service of God by her uncle, and this
resulted in saving, not only herself, but
also the whole Jewish nation Hannah,
the wife of Elkanah, cOnsecrated her
babe to God, and this child was of untold
service to the world. But the best ex-
ample of youthful training was that of
Christ, who began to teach at the tender
age of twelve. At that early age he
said: Il must be about my fathers
business" Young Mary sat at the
Masters feet. and her one desire was
to know more of Jesus.
30. mothers, let US not suppose that
our boys and girls would not be interest
ed in God. If trained for Him they will
serve Him. The Christian home is the
most effective place for missionary
efforts. My mother knelt with her lit
tie girls around the family altar and
this cost my mother one of her daugh-
tiers for a missionary in India, but
mother does not regret it. Hundreds of
mothers have consecrated their chill
dren to God, and those children are
shining stars today in the dark heather
fields. From these missionaries across
the great deep, there comes the mes
sage, Don't be sorry, for we are happy
in the masters service
q" Our boys and girls for Jesus should
be our earnest prayer. Alfred Goodman
was converted at the early age of
twelve, and he has led thousands to
Christ. Isaac Watts was converted at
ten and his sweet hymns have been an
inspiration to millions"
Mrs. Omer's address was beautiful
from beginning to end and had fine
effect on the audience. She closed her
address by reciting in a most touching
way a poem entitled, The Starless
Crown" Mrs. Omers own religious work
was manifested very strikingly in her
own little three years old boy who stood
up before the audience and recited the
23rd Psalm. All praise TO our good wo-
men and mothers for the noble work
they are doing.

b, Very Serious,

George Holder, young white man Of
this city, was cut and perhaps seriously
wounded by a countryman named John

ternoon.
The affair occurred about six o'clock in

BILE arose from a dispute between the two.

standing over him with a knife in his
hand. There was a deep cash in Hold
el's left side just under the ribs and
another knife wound on the back of his
head.
Dr. T. NJ. Jordan was sent for and af-
ter examining his injuries had the wound
ed man sent to Rex Hospital. There he
was attended by DR.. A. w. Knox. At II
@ clock last night his wounds were con-
sidered serious, though not necessarily
fatal.
John Hubbard, the man who did the
cutting, is q farmer, about so years old,
living near Eagle Rock. He was ar
rested Immediately after the occurrence
together with his son and man by the
name of Strickland.
The preliminary hearing will probably
come up before the mayor today Both
his son and Strickland admit that Hub
bard did the cutting, but he stoutly de-
MES having anything to do with 1t.
George Holder, the wounded man, is
about % years old. He is printer by
