Captain, j. M. Falkner presided over
the meething of the joint committee of
veterans. He said the object of the meet
ing was to outline a plan for securing
funds for the entertainment of the
veterans while in Montgomery. Last
year he said, the program for the re-
union was successful one and it might
be we'll for the committee to come as
near adopting the same program as pos
sible. He said he intended running an
excursion train to- Mountain Creek where
the veterans could see the soldiers home
and there serve them dinner. lie Of
fered this as a suggestion to the COM

When the situation as to the financial
needs of the committee was stated, the
directors retired and after few moments
elaboration announced an appropriation
of $500 for the use of the committee and
assured the veterans of their hearty CO.
operation in every instance.
1t was suggested that the erection OF
the Spanish masts presented by Captain
Richmond Pearson Hobson to the State
should take place during the reunion
and an extensive military display take
place at that time.
The details of the occasion will come
up before the joint committee OF veterans
and a committee from the Commercial
and Industrial Association at meeting
which will be held at an early date,
The veterans need several hundred more
dollars for the entertainment of the
division and they will begin at once to
secure subscriptions from the merchants
and citizens of Montgomery.

box. At the same time he bought a
dozen collar buttons made of a metallic

his wife and the same day she began
to take the medicine After she had taken
twelve doses she was entirely cured and

ISLE OF CUBA IN HISTORY.
May Be Divided Into Four ExcitinI
And Interesting Epocns.

since Cuba became known to the worlo
| 400 wears ago, her story is one OF ro-
mantle incidents and tragic events, and
may be divided into four epochs. the
first one can be described as that OF dis
covery, colo alzation and conquest. ror
200 years it was the spoil of foreign foes.
Columbus on his first voyage discovered
the island. and by 1858 practically the
entire native population had been ex-
terminated by Spanish cruelty. In 1884
and 1854 Havana was destroyed by the
French: i'm 1924 1t was taken by the
Dutch. from 1850 to 100 1t was often
rayaged by filibusters, and In 1862 II was
taken nv the English. At no time prior
IN 1900 was the island safe from attack
by European Governments or by pirates
Then for 100 years or so ensued an era
of comparative peace. Except for the
single incident of English occupation in
1862, the island prosper ed nightly IN To-
bacco and the slave trade. of which 1t
was the center for Spanish America. 1t
is said that in the sixty halcyon years
of this traffic no fewer than $4,000 slaves
were brou ght into Cuba.
Along about 1874 began that epoch OF
Cuban aistory which ended only in the
expulsion of Spain in 1883. This might
be called the revolutionary period. More
than 10000 negroes persisted in the in
surrection of 1S4S. The uprsings of 1919
and of 1851 were led by American ad-
venturers. The Spanish revolution OF
1868 led to an effort for Cuban independ-
ence which continued with varying for
tunes for twelve years. In 1880 the in
snrrection was put down, but it had
sad lied upon the island debt of $685.
900 900. The revolutionary movement
which ended in American occupation.
NAV be said to date. in Its more active
manifestations. from about 1898. When
the Maine went down in Havana harbor
the bell rang for the curtain which was
to fall for once and for all on four CEN
turtles of Spanish misrule. The ensuing
four years form an epoch by themselves
the period of American occupation.
While much of the work done by our rep
resentatives there is for all time, some
of it Is already an peril from Cuban
incompetence and unrest. The island is
accordingly entering upon another stage
of existence.
