BOY CUT DOWN BY CANE MOWER
Pet Hardman, of Athens, Victim of
Peculiar Accident


Athens, Ga, Sept. 21.-This morn
ing most peculiar accident befell
Pet Hardman, the 10-year-old son oi
P. D. Hardman, we'll known citizen
of this place. The little boy had
strayed off from his home, on Baxter
street, down into the bottom lands
nearby, where there was a big cane
field, and had become hidden from
view in the cane. The men at work
with the machine cutting down the
cane did not see him, and, in fact, had
no idea he was anywhere near them
Suddenly, as the machine cut its
way through the dense forage, shrin
scream of pain rang out, and the mar
in charge of the machine, stopping his
mules, sprang down to see what waa
the matter. He found the little boy
lying by the side of the blade of the
machine; the blood spouting from
dozen ugly wounds on his right leg.
The blade as it moved rapidly back
ward and forward, had almost cut thu
child's leg off in several places, al
though the bone was uninjured.

Reciprocity Treaty Has Helped Gu
bans But Not America.
Washington, Sept. 21.-The state de.
partment has received from Minister
Squires, at Havana, a table showing
Cuba's import trade for the first quar-.
ter of 1904, and for the same quarter
of 1908
These figures are of special interest
In that they cover the first quarter
after December &c, 1903, when the rec.
iprocity treaty took effect There was
an increase of $2,038,200 in the imports
Of Cuba for the first quarter of 1904,
over those for the same period of 1903.
The minister points out that the i'm.
ports into Cuba from the United
States increased only per cent, while
those from England, Germany, Spain
and France increased 20, 21, 16 and
8 per cent respectively. He says he
was unoff1cially informed that the Gu
ban exports to the United States have
very largely increased.
II never fail to impress upon the
president and the Cuban merchants
and planters with whom I come into
contact" adds the minister 'the dan.
ger to reciprocity in the present un.
even trade between the two countries,
and that American merchants and
manufacturers will not long support
an arrangement which largely increas.
es the market for Cuba productions
and by comparison at least, decreases
the sale of our own. The situation
is pretty well understood and it will
not be difficult to obtain from the Gu
ban government a proposition for the
admission of goods of American origin
on a more favorable basis"

CROWN PLACED UPON
BROW OF KING PETER
Coronation Ceremonies at Bel
grade, Servia.
NO HOSTILE DEMONSTRATION
In Solemn Ritual of Greek Church and
In the Elaborate State Procession
Following, Tragedy of servia's Pre-.
Vious Ruler Found No Echo.

Belgrade, Servia, Sept. 21.-King
Peter Karageorgevitch was crowned
king OF Servia today.
There were no hostile demonstra.
tions and no attempt to carry out the
numerous threats against the new
kings life. In the solemn ritual of
the Greek church and in the elaborate
state procession which preceded and
followed the coronation the tfagedy OF
Servia's previous ruler found no echo.
Amid the thunder of the saluting guns
from the royal palace and the garri.
son King Alexander's murder was at
least outwardly forgotten.
Here and in every garrison town
of Servia, the dawn Of day was mark.
ed by a salute of twenty one-guns
and before the sun was we'll up, King
Peter, on horseback, rode out from the
palace. The imperial procession then
started for the cathedral through the
troop-lined street.
Behind the soldiers were packed
dense crowds who, in spite of the rainy
weather stood patiently awaiting to
see the king. The royal heralds,
cavalry and life guards and carriages
with the Montengren and servian prin.
cesses preceded the monarch. Beside
King Peter rode his two sons, George
and Alexander. The cathedral was
reached shortly after o'clock. Repre-.
sentatiyes of the foreign powers, the
cabinet ministers and others had al.
ready been waiting for some time.
Imposing Ceremony.
AS King Peter entered the metropol.
Man consecrated him and more artil.
lery salutes were fired. The king
then took up his position under can.
opy and the metropolitan, assisted by
many bishops and other clergy, com.
menced the solemn service, the choir
singing THANK Thee Ever, Lord" AT.
ter prayer the premier and other min.
listers handed the crown and the re.
gala to King Peter. He kissed the
crown, placed it on his head and robed
himself in the royal garments. An
artillery salute of 1O1 guns announced
to the people of Belgrade that King
Peter had been crowned. It was
nearly three hours before the service
was concluded, and the ritual of the
church complied with. King Peter
afterward signed the coronation docu
ment, which was witnessed by the
metropolitan, the premier, the cabinet
ministers and the other heads of state.
Wearing the crown on his head and full
ly robed, the king left the cathedral
remounted his horse and rode through
the crowded street to the palace.
There in the festal hall, King Peter
received the congratulations of the di.
plomatic corps and others, ascended
the royal throne and once more took
the sceptre and orb in his hands. The
ceremony of rendering homage was
then performed.
