lost sight of when beating aud on
point, so that in many cases, bird are
flushed by the dogs unexpectedly after
waiting long time for the word of
command from their masters, which
on the other hand cannot be given for
not seeing the dogs at all.
The luxuriant vegetation is due to
the absence of cattle, horses, sheep,
swine, all of them being used up by
the contending armies during the war.
Our fields are then almost unpeopled
just as we'll of men as they are of an
imals except game. OF this we have
plenty of deer, quails, English and
bay snipe, wild duck, wild pigeon
of several species, rails, curlew and
every variety of water fowl The
most abundant are quail, English
sni pc, rail and pigeons, mean of
the game birds. We have neither
bear nor hares, wild rabbit or wood
chuck. Referring to our game law,
the hunting season opens on the 1st of
October, and closes on the last day Of
February.
We have many inns in the country,
and not very far apart, i'll the vicinity
of large towns such as Havana, Man
tanzas, Cadenas, Sagua, Cienfuegas,
where eating and sleeping can be had,
although to tell the truth, I am sorry
to add, comfort is not much to be had,
especially for you foreigners who are
not used to our customs and meals.
For further information about shoot
ing in Cuba, l dare refer you to my
friend and colleague, DR.. Eustas Will

He is an American of very long resi-
dence in the island and a great prac-
tical shooter, effecting his outings
every Sunday. AS to mineral water,
the island is bountifully supplied by
providence. We have San Diago, with
its sulphur baths, where marvellous
cures have been effected, among thous-
ands. 1t can be reached by rail, five
hours from Havana, Madregon, thir-
thy-six miles from the city, can also
be reached by rail. Consolation del |
Norte, Guanabacua, Ciego Monterio,
Mesa, Santa M-del and Ros- |

far from Havana. For stomach and |
chest diseases the best waters are those |

Two INTERESTING LETTERS
From the Island of Cuba, to Mr.. Chas.
M. Williams.

This week we are enabled to give
our readers two more very interesting
letters from the island of Cuba, writ
ten to Mr.. Williams by two citizen
of Havana, who are taking livel.
interest in the planting of Mississippi
cotton seed on that island. We hop,
to be able to publish these letters al

Mr.. Chas. Williams,
Greenville. Miss.
Dear Sir
Many thanks for your lengthy and
interesting, information regarding cot
ton, contained in your favor of the
8th, received the day before yester-
day. At present only aspire to the
acquisition of thorough knowledge
of an industry that bids fair Ito be-
come of great profit to us if skilfully
handled and properly conducted.
Though cotton grows almost wild
in this island, mainly an indigenous
kind known among us by the name of
"Algodon de rinon," kidney cotton),
from its seed sticking so close as to
resemble very much that animal or
gan, Sample Of which l have ordered
from the country and will mail you
when received, it strikes us here that
its cultivation heretofore has not
spread so as to constitute one of our
main staples for expectation.
Being already a man of some age, l
remember when 20 years old that
boom set in for the cultivation of cot
ton, many assays were instituted, all
of them failing, some say because
Of sugar, tobacco and coffee command

dertaking, others that it was due to

scarcity Of hands, and finally others
to worms, moths and copions rains Of
the tropics. Sugar. tobacco and coffee
having come down at present to ruin
GUS prices, and wages to lower rates,
eyes are again turned to cotton rails

in position to ward of difficulties,
and nothing in my humble Judgment
will put us in such an advantageous
situation but instruction, We must
have that before launching ourselves

PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE


I
The Directors Of the Young Men
Business League held meeting o
Tuseday night Of this week whicl
will no doubt result in great good +
the city.
President j. j. McInnis, of th
state board of railroad commissioners
and who was on tour of inspection O
the Southern railroad, was invited t,
the meeting.
Chairman Halter, of the transpor
tation committee, laid the grievance
the business and commercial inter
ests of the city had against the treat.
ment received at the hands of the
Southern railroad.
Mr.. McInnis listened very atten-
lively and patiently to these griev-
ances and assured the committee that
he would bring the matter at once
before the railroad commissioners at
their next meeting, and assured the
League that the city would receive
the proper attention.
He promised the League that the
freight cars would be ordered taken
off the regular passengre trains. This
done, twill enable train No. 81 to ar
rive in this city at least one hour
earlier than it does at present, some
thing the business men have asked
for through the League for year or
more.
The question of raising funds to
carry on the work of the League was
also discussed, and all agreed that
with the benefits the business of
Greenville has received during the
last six months, by the starting Of new
industries, the putting on of new
trains and the improvements in the
train service, there is not business
house in the entire city but what
will pay the amount assessed by the |!
committee, if proprely approached.
1t was est mated that the putting |
on Of the Cleveland accommodat |
train brought AZ least 1000 to
Greenville that would have otherwise
been spent elsewhere.
On motion a committee of Ave was
appointed by; the president of thei
League, consisting of Messrs. Chas, l.
Halter, Will Isenberg, r. W. 'TilSord,
edmund Taylor and Sam Blum, and
instructed to collect the money due
or membership at once. so that the |
alresdy made by the
4eague could. be settled.
There was another important mat
er' taken up and discussed aud that L
yas the paving of the. principal bnsi-
ess streets. This is now realized as
need for the city's future prosperity
nd advsncepent,. and the secretary
7as instructed to correspond with
he clerks Of cities Of like soil and
nd out the cost from tdem of street
aving.
The meeting proved al Interesting
ne and from which the city will de-
i've much benefit in the future.

A COW thief is something unusual to
have in this city, and like other fell
ons, was not allowed to steal many
cows before he was landed in the
tolls. Recently several of our citi-
zens have missed their milk for the
coffee in the mornings and on inves-
tigating, it was found that old Brir-
dle' was absent. 1t took only little
expert work to capture the thief who
proved to be one Will Jeffries, alias
Will Jackson, colored. The first theft
was made on December Goth, when Mr..
W. +. Hawkins, Of the Goal Tipple,
was robbed of his COW. On the night
of the 2srd, Mr.. W. W Webb, of the
Southren railroad, mi ,sed his COW
which is one Of the fnt st milk givers
in the city. Mr. Wobb, of course,
didn't relish such a theft, and he has
had blood in his eve for that COW
thief. Sometime during the night of |
the 2sth, Captain Gildart, had a fine
COW taken from his lot jackson sold
his first COW to Mr.. j. F. Reverie for
slO.4O Captain Gildart's COW was
sold to negro by the name of Robin
son, who didn't exactly like Jackson's
apparent reasons for selling the ami
NAL and he had him arrested. Jack
son was brought before Justice
and in the cases of Gildart
md Hawkins was fined 5000 and
,osts. Mr.. Webb's COW is valued at
5000, and this makes the case one of
grand larceny and a felony and will
,ring jackson before the circuit at its
lext meeting.

AMERICANS HOLD THE KEY

The United States holds the key 'o the trade situation Of the world lt is up to this country to determine whe'h' CT or not the wonderful progress in the volume Of the worlds commerce that has been made during the last few wears is Co continue or whether it will cease, it. indeed, not retrOgrade.
 1.-the growth of the trade between peoples shall cease, it will be because Of the extension of che tariff walls and it must be confessed that the protection sentiment is rapidly gaining through out Europe; and let it bc said that here Is the greates, menace Co extension oi foreign trade that appears on the hori- zon at the present time. The cause Tor this sudden acceptance on the part ot European publicists ot the doctrine oi protection, which, as a theory oi econ omies has been so long ridiculcd by che 6nancers and political economists on the other side oi the Atlantic, can be directly traceable Co the appearance oi the American producer with his wares ;, aha market, of the old World. The European manufacturers have been de nied entry Co theAmor.can markets and they resent American invasion oi their markets. This Is @ condition that Che American government must face, and the sooner it Is faced aud the remedy applied the less likIibood is there Of an interruption oi che splendid growth Of our foreign trade and consequently Of another crash with the ever attendant collapse in che value of American sc- curities.
 1.-the United State, shall maintain intact its taria wall against Che pro- duets ot Europe, then will the work Of building barracades against the invasion Of American products continue, and with it win come a decline in foreign trade and general commcrciaf,,agna- tion. On the other hand, should the United States begiua gradual reduction in her tariffs, accompanied by policy oi real reciprocity, and che inaugural tion Of a trade policy based on broad lines. the high tariff movement will die out tn Europe, and iu a few year, it will have been discovered that the age oi commercial activity has but just begun. And when We speak ot reciprocity lot it be understood cha, real reciprocity is meant. Not that kind by which it Is sought Co secure concession, without making any in return, but rcc'proe- ity wherein a concession is granted for each concession received.
 The first step che United States should take toward inauguratiug the policy ot reciprocity should be with Canada, and as a token of good faith. we should say Co the Canadians, "Re- move your 8 per cent. tariff against American products and we will remove our 70 per cent. tariff from the products Of Canada. and hencetorth the trade will be free between the enlightened Anglo-Saxon people, of North Ameri- ca"
