THE UNITED STATES AND CUBA.

This is the year for the second pres
idential election in Cuba. 1t is hard
to realize that such a length Of time
has elapsed since the island republic
first set up an Independent government
for itself. 4.
While the Plat amendment gives me
United States some hold on the is!an1
it is generally ana TO all intents and
purposes, d free country. The time
will hardly COM when u govern
ment will have TO take steps to enforce
the stipulations contained in that pro-
vision of congress which was accepted
by the Cubans when they adopted their
national constitution, but still the
bare knowledge IF its existence is irk-
some 10 many CnDans, and the poIiti-
cal party in opposition to the present
administration advocates their abroga-
ton. This party goes under the name
of the national liberty" party and it
has nominated for it's candidate Tor

Santa Clara state. President Palnna
has been nominated by his, the con-
servative party and there is no doubt
of his election by an overwhelming
majority. General Maxine Gomez is
on the programme for second place on
the Palma ticket.
Cuba Iibre has not been such a source
of revenue, through exchange of COM
modities, as many people thought it
would be to the United States. Our
trade with her las not assumed The
proportions which had been predicted
for it. There has been some obstacle
in the way. The relations between the
two countries have not been as friendly
as one would suppose they would be,
considering that the Cubans are in
debted to this country for their free
dom from the Spanish yoke.
While the Cuban congress consented
pressure from this government and
this thought has never been pleasing
to the Cubans and on our side many
think the Cubals have never shown
proper gratitude for what was done for
them by America; and, again, our tar
if laws, while showing some favors 10
Cuba, give the nations of Europe an adj
vantage in with the island.
So On the whole the United States and
Cuba have each been somewhat Ct a
disappointment to the other.

THE PLEA OF sELr-DEFENsE.

Below are two items from Webster's
Weekly on two homicides recently ON
mitted In this state. AS TO Crumps
case, the difficulty with him is that he
has not enough friends of influence in
the county to cur a jury which will
say that the shooting a man in the
back is an act of self defense wnen it
is shown that the person shot had
made threats against the life of the
assassin.
As to the Whites the mistake they
made was in thinking that because OF
the charge brought against Sheriff.,
whether true or not, public sentiment
would justify them in killing him, and
again, Sheriff. being dead there vas no
way of refuting the charge made
against him by the girl and the fact
that they killed the man because Of
this charge would 10 some extent shield
the reputation of the girl; but before
the trial was held they found that p1b-
lie sentiment was not such Is they tx
pected it to be and they were afraid 10
rely upon it, so they had recourse TO
the absurd plea of self defense in the
effort to strengthen their case:
The irrepressible ~paragraDher Of
the Durham Herald sarcastically sug-
gests that the negro CrumD. who way
laid and shot Grubb. might show hat
Grubb had made threats against him.
At this distance it looks as if Crump
ought to have as much right to shoot
Grubb on sight as Grubb had to shoot
Davis in the back.
Had the Whites. who slew young
Sheriff., whom they charged with the
seduction of their niece. plead guilty
and thrown themselves on the mercy
OF the governor saving they went to
Sherrilrs house determined to make
him marry The wrOnged girl Or take
his lie. public sentiment would
have saved them from serious pun
ishment. Instead of doing 50. the
set ~ a plea of self defense. which
was ridiculous. for it was two armed
men against one man unarmed.
ard he the weaker in physical
strength. There was not the first ell
ement of self-dcfense in it. n when
the Whites set up this plea they dis
credited themselves as protectors of
female virtue and ceased to be heroes
in the public eye Gentlemen should
be sure that they are right before
they go out to kill. and when they
nave accomplished their purpos they
should not fall hack on the Flea Of
SeIf-defenSe.

The Contest For Mastery Between Re-

A Telegram reporter was shown las.
night a telegram from Washington
which stated that the Industrial paper
was organized Friday night in Wash
ington and that MIR. Butler goes In
person to New York to endeayor to
secure the Associated Press.
This would indicate that the rumor
that the Industrial Publishing company
had been paying a stipulated sum Tor

the time the charter was issued is with
put foundation. 1t is learned from re-
liable source that the Associated Press
has refused to grant either paper a
blanket contract, that is the excIu-
sive use of press dispatches for this
city: If desired two Or more papers
can have the service here.
The telegram further indicates that
the Industrial Publishing Company is
the Butler-McNeill Company and thus
puts an end to the rumor of a third
paper. 1t is understood that Judge
Adams went direct from Raleigh, after
securing the charter for the Industrial,
to Washington for the purpose of hav-

Newport News, Va, July ~, 1903.
Last summer while recovering from ILL.,
ness of fever, I had a severe attack of
Infammatory Rheumatism in the knees,
from which I was unable to leave my
room for several months. I was treated
by two doctors and also tried different
kinds of linaments and medicines which
seemed to relieve me from pain for
awhile, but at he same time I was not
any nearer getting well. One day while
reading a paper I saw an advertisement
of S. S. S. for Rheumatism. I decided
to give it trial, which I did at once.
After I had taken three bottles I felt a
great deal better, and I still continued
to take it regularly until I was entirely
cured. I now feel better than for years,
and I cheerful1y recommend S. S. S. to
any one suffering from Rheumatism. Q
