an advantage of only about 6 2-3 dollars on each one hundred dollars worth of goods. To eQualize this difference, it was found necessary to fix the rate of con- cession on cotton goods going from the United States into Cuba at 60 per cent It is thought here that the Cubans have not considered the matter from this point of view and that 1t will be necessary to inform them of the basis of the de- mands of the United States.
 Tt Is possible that demands of this country may be modified slightly on an investigation of trade conditions in Cuba. as the first draft of the treaty was the basis of an agreement. It Is not likely however, that any greater concession will be offered Cuba. as 1t Is held that the high rate of duty on sugar and tobacco will, with 20 per cent. reduction, enable the Cubans to either undersell all other foreigners or secure greater profits on their products than people of other na- tions
 The reciprocity treaty is likely to be separate document from any general treaty provided for under the Platt amendment. It makes no difference whether or not a treaty is negotiated with Cuba save on the subject of the Isle of Pines. The Platt amendment be- ing part of our law and a part of the Cuban constitution 1t Is held that 1t op- crates as a binding proposition even if the provisions of the amendment are not embodied in a treaty. The United States will secure the coaling stations and Cuba is bound to carry out the provisions of her constitution"

THE TREATY WITH CUBA
EXPLANATION OF PETITION OF
 UNITED STATES.
Difference in Per Cents of Proposed Reductions Must Be Consider ed on the Basis of the Exist
 ing Tariff Schedules.

Washington, Nov. 12.-A high official of the Government. who is well informed regarding our relations with Cuba, in discussing the proposed treaty. said:
 The principal mission of General Bliss will be to clear up in the minds of the Cubans some. apprehensions which they have regarding the effect of the conces- sions offered by the United States and the various concessions which the United States demands from Cuba. It seems apparent that the situation is not under stood in Cuba and the negotiation halts on that account.
 There is no disposition to ofrer greater concession to Cuba than 20 per cent, which will include all products Of the islands, while the concessions de- manded vary from 10 to 70 per cent. This is explained by the fact that the conces- sions must be considered not so much upon percentages as upon existing tar ifs. The tariff of the United States on all articles produced in Cuba Is so high that a 20 per cent reduction will mean much to the island. This relates espe- cially to sugar and tobacco.
 A single illustration is gwen: The present duty on sugar is about loO per cent; a reduction of 20 per cent will give a rebate to Cuba of $2O on every slOO worth of sugar sent to this country. On the other hand the duty imposed by Cuba on cotton r anufactured goods is about SS Is per cent. and the United States manufacture CTS shipping cotton goods to Cuba under like 20 per cent. rebate would secure

THE GOVERNOR IN wATAUaA.
The Republicans Stunned By His Great Speech
Mr.. Patterson's Sensible Argument,

Especial to News and Observer
Boone N. c., Oct. 4.-Hon. S. l.. Pat
terson and Governor Aycock spoke here
today to great crowd of people. gathered
from all portions of Watauga county
The ladies turned out in force, coming
with their husbands and brothers fathers
and sweethearts, large number being
present than has been known to attend
a political speaking in years.
A stand had been erected for the oc-
casion in the court yard but owing to
threatening weather the crowd moved to
the court room, which was packed with
people as long as one could get STANDING
room. and still good crowd was left
outside, gathering around doors and win
dows in their eagerness to hear.
Mr.. Patterson led in short pointed
speech, showing by facts and figures that
the Democratic administration of the
State government had been progressive
wise and economical. He dwelt on the
great development of educational inter
est throughout North Carolina, and told
of the earnest work of Governor Aycock
in awakening the people to their educa-
tional needs, and of his unselfish devotion
to every interest of all the people.
When Governor Aycock was presented
TO the crowd he received a great ova-
ton, and although the people We're un-
comfortably crowded, the closest atten-
ton was given to every word
1t is useless to attempt a report of his
speech, but sufficient to say that it was
surely one of his greatest efforts. 1t was
a splendid presentation of Democracy
Of 1iaa r

are stunned by this splendid reception
and the telling effect of those great
speeches. The Democrats are greatly en-
Unused and encouraged and will press the
fight until election day, with renewed
vigor and determination.

BRAG IS A BIG DOC

Big Claims.
Conservative Estimates Made in Guilfori AMI
FORSYTH Indicate That these Claims
Are Mostly Wind.
Especial to News and observer


Greensboro. N. c., Oct Republicans
hereabouts speak so confidently OF what
the Independent movement is going 10 uo
to aid in electing their whole ticket III
this and other counties your correspond
ent has endeavored to ascertain Il there
is any trouble in Democratic ranks
which certainly does not appear on the
surface. For instance. Mr.. w. Hide
brand the excellent special reporter OF
the Joint debate for the Asheville Ca
zette and Charlotte Observer. wired the
Gazette from here Wednesday night that
Guilford would give 500 Republican ma
jority, and they are also claiming For
syth by large majority. Below is what
have been able to learn from official
Democratic sources as to conditions, with
out trusting to my own knowledge of inc
situation at all:
Mr.. A. M. Scales, chairman of the
Guilford County Executive Committee.
SAYS:
81 am informed that Mr.. Hildebrand
claims Guilford county for the Republi
cans by a majority of 500. Such modesty
on the part of our Republican friends is
most surprising. Four years ago they
claimed it by 900 and we beat them by
1000; two years ago they claimed it by
large majority, and again we beat
them by 1000. l have long since learned
TO pay no attention whatever to their
claim hut we simply go on the even
tenor of our way and conduct the cam
paign on a plane to win the approval OF
the citizens of Guilford and let the cleo
ton returns speak for us You can say,
however, that the party is in magnificent
trim in this county and is more than
ready to meet the enemy. The party is
united and harmonious and will win
another great victory. You can say this
for the benefit of Democrats in other
parts of the State-it is not needed here.
The so-caled independent movement. has
gained no foot hold in Gulford worth
speaking of >
Short talks with prominent Democrats
in Forsyth county reveal very little in
the situation to disturb Democratic
equanimity. Chairman Bailey of the
Executive committee makes conservative
estimates, and is conceded to be on the
safe side if there is any dispute. He says
there is a large Democratic majority,
very little dissatisfaction, and that is
confined TO a part only of the county
ticket; legislative ticket is not only pop
ular, but strong. There is no indepen-
dent sentiment in the county, local nomi-
nations have eliminated that feature from
the campaign. Hon C. B. Watson's can
didacy for the United States Senate is
an element of strength.
Mayor Eaton who is one of the best
posted Democrats in the county, has been
chosen chairman OF the city executive
committee. and is perfecting systematic
and thorough organization. He is also
stumping the county. He also predicts

TOO GREAT EXPENSE.
Not the Reason.

1t is not because pyramid Pile Cure
is so expensive that many people de-
cline to give it a trial, but because they
find il too great tax on their credulity
to believe that the published letters
bearing testimony to the merit of this
remedy are genuine and bona fide es-
pecially to those who have realized the
suffering incident to piles is it incredi-
BILE that anyone who has been afflicted
twenty-five and thirty years with the
worst forms of protruding and bleeding
piles should be cured by the Applicant n
of simple remedy, when their aphysi-
clan has assured them that the only re-
lief is in a surgical operation. This is
rightfully viewed with dread by all
those afflicted. as It means nj the least
a great shock to the nervous system,
with more than a possibility OF utter
collapse and death; in the majority OF
cases, too, there is a return of the com
plant. owing to the fact that the cause
is not removed.
The proprietors of Pyramid Pile Cure
agree to forfeit one thousand dollars to
anyone who will show a. single published
testimonial to be not genuine and I'M
solicited; this latter feature is most
gratifying, inasmuch as these letters
are written solely out of gratitude, and
with the hope that those who are af-
flicted as the writer's have been may
learn that relief is az hand at a COM
paratively triflinga expense. Pyramid

will sustain every other part. Yet, how

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.

Few People Know How Useful it is in
Preserving Health and Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
is the safest and most efficient disinfect-
ant and purifier in nature, but few realize
it's value when taken into the human sys-
TEN for the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more you
take of it the better; it is not drug at
all, but simply absorbs the gases and i'm
purities always present in the stomach
and intestines and carries them out of
the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating onions
and other oGorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural and
eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it
disinfects the mouth and throat from the
poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one form
or another, but probably the best char
coal and the most for the money is in
Stuart's Absorbent LoZenges; they are
composed of the finest powdered Willow
charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics
in tablet form or rather in the form of
large, pleasant tasting lozenges, the char
coal being mixed with honey.
The daily use of these loZenges will
soon tell in a much improved condition
of the general health, better complexion,
sweeter breath and purer blood, and the
beauty of it is, that no possible harm can
result from their continued use, but on
the contrary, great benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking of the
benefits of charcoal, says 81 advise
Stuarts Absorbent Lozenges to all pa
tients suffering from gas in stomach and
bowels, and to clear the complexion and
purify the breath, mouth and throat;
also believe the liver is greatly benefited
by the daily use of them; they cost but
twenty five cents a box at drug stores,
and although in some sense patent prep
aration. yet / believe get better
charcoal in Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges
than in any of the ordinary charcoal
tablets"
