After o great dealof labor on the
Cuban reciprocity question, the Re-
publican majority 10 the House Of
Representatives has brought forth q
- per cent. moese limited 10 an ex-
istence Of one crop year. They
have ignored the fact that the best
authorities Oncluding President
elect Palma, Of Cuba, and Governor
General Wood) have each said thas .
DO per cent. reduction In our duties
On caban products was necessary
TO the prosperity Of Cuba, and that
the best authorities on the subject
OF what reciprocal reduction was
necessary on the part OF Cuba to en-
able the United States TO command
that market, have said that from 33
to so per cent. preferential duty in
favor OF the United States would be
necessary to break the connections
between the merchants of Cuba and
the manufacturers Of Europe, and
turn the trade our way.
Of course, we cannot ask Cuba
for larger percentage Of reduction
In her tariff on our products than
we concede in ours on her products.
and unless the Senate remedies this
blunder Of the House by a material
increase in the percentage of reduc-
tion fixed by the House, there will
be ground swell OF public indig-
nation that will make the next House
of Representatives Democratic and
give the Democrats long start to-
wards success in the Presidential
election of 1904. The great produc-
ing interests Of this country are de-
manding wider markets. They have
been friendly to the policy of pro-
lection, but there is reason in all
things, and reciprocity is the hand
maid of protection. Blaine and Me-
kinley saw this, and President
Roosevelt sees IL, and the bestfriends
of the doctrine of protection see il;
and only Incorporate protectionists
who like the Indian with the rum,
believe that a little is good and
good deal is better fail TO recognize
the signs Of the times.

evening to elect teachers for the next

who put in applications, were re- cleo

Merritt is to be retained as supern-
tendent of the schools until Jan. l when
he will leave for Atlanta to take up his
duties as state school commissioner.
He will also hold the. Office of county

A committee was appointed at the
meeting, consisting of Messrs. John f.

take steps toward increasing the school
facilities by the erection of new build
ings to be used for that purpose. 1t is
not known exactly what will be done,
though Valdosta is behind in facilities
for handling the number of pupils who
are knocking for admittance into the
schools. 1t is highly probable that a
large new building will be erected and

-FOUR MORE INDICTMENTS.
Macon Commission Man Appears to
BE in "a bad Why.


Macon, June 13.-Bibb's grand jury
to-day found four additional indict-
ments against r. Morrison Rogers,
three charging him with larceny after
trust, and one charging him with
cheating and swindling. l. c. Plants
Sons bank prosecutes in one case and
the Macon Savings Bank in two. The
cheating and swindling case is brought
by the Georgia Railroad, the allegation
being that Rogers induced Agent 5. c.
Hoge to let him have a shipment of
grain without the bill of lading, claim
ing the bill of lading had not arrived.
The road claims that it afterwards
developed the bill of lading had ar
rived and had been hypothetical for
a loan at the very time that Mr.. Rog-
ers was appealing to Agent Hoge.
Mr.. Rogers has not been arrested
on to-day's indictments, but he is
under a $4,000 bond to appear and an
swer the larceny after trust indict-
ment found against him yesterday. His
alleged offenses are said to have been
committed while he was general man
ager for the business of the Rogers and
Joiner Commission Company.

that never at any time did l ever use
any language rejecting in any manner
upon any class of our citizens. The
incident, which has been so magnified
and distorted, while being passed from
mouth to mouth, grew out of reli
gious discussion / had with Mormon
in the course of converse ton, purely
by way OF comparison, l quoted some
statements l had read from a certain
book. At that time l asserted the UNI
truth of the quotation. 1t did not oc-
cur to me, or to any one who heard me,
that the conversation could be con-
strued into an attack on any one.
The conversation occurred about
eight months ago-I had entirely for
gotten the incident. l cannot think
1t has been recalled and distorted at
this time for any laudab BILE purpose.
The sincerest regret | have in con-
nection with the incident is that any
one can think me capable of wantonly
traducing those with whom l have
lived all my life. and for whom l have
the highest respect.
At present l can do nothing save
make straight manly denial. The
