Compliments of the Ten Years War.

SOhiPthbSutS VI tuS IGu ESdTS WAL
Up in Central Valley the common
folk still call the president of Cuba
Mr.. Stradder." They knew him
chiefly as the village schoolmastcr. an
understood, grayish man. of modest
demeanor, somewhat rusty black
clothes and a nervous manner Quite
handsome he might have been but for
two RESPONSIBILITIES. These were
Spanish compliments of the Ten
Years. war One had blaZed a bare
spot on the right side of the upper lip,
so that the old patriots mustache on
that side grew in two sections. The
other had clipped his right eye. nearly
closing it. Frequently he rubbed this
eye. as if it panied him. Then he had
IL habit of tapping nervously with one
foot or with one hand while talking.
When a newspaper man visited him at
Central Valley shortly after he became
the president elect his foot tapped the
bare floor Of the room in which the
guest was received. for the floor was
carDetIess: also some OF the boards
were warped.
Down in Cuba in the palace at EEa-
vana there are no warped boards in
the floors and the carpets are thick
and velvety. President Palma draws
an annual salary of $4,000, voted to
him by the Cuban congress.
When Jose Palma, eldest son of the
president. married pretty girl in
New York three years ago without the
knowledge of the parents on either
side the president of Cuba upon learn |
ing of the elopement sent his son a
telegram of congratulations The par
ents of the bride, however, for the |
time being refused to forgive their |
daughter. though she had married a /
presidents son. ''She should not have
married surreptitiously," said her ia. |
Their.
This merely goes to prove that the !
president of Cuba is more democratic ,
than one American private citizen.

Secretary Nelson, of the A.
M. E. Conference held in
Lancaster, Committed Sui
eide on his Return Home.

Orangeburg special in the
News and Courier The Rev. @.
III. Nelson, who for the past year
or so has been the pastor of the
A. M. +. Church at this place
committed suicide last night by
cutting his throat from ear to ear
with his razor. He was very
much worried all day yesterday
and had been suffering a great
deal and late into the night he
went up stairs in the parsonage,
where he lived, and cut his
throat. 1t was not long before
his family found him, but he was
dead by that time.
Nelson had just returned from
the Conference of his Church,
which met at Lancaster, and he
was secretary OF the Conference.
He had been transferred from the
Orangeburg Church to work at
Mayesville, and for several rea-
sons he did not desire the trans.
fer. He had just stated to friend
that he intended leaving his tam
lily in Orangeburg and that he
would rent a house for them to
live in, while he alone would
spena his time at Mayesville. He
had been having considerable
financial troubles and these are
supposed to have been the cause
of his act.

The Neglected Grave of
The Father of Presbyterian

DIR. Henry G. McCook, is a man
whose mind takes in everything,
from the spider on the wall to
those who live in Kings palaces
in this world, or another.
Francis Mckenzie, the founder
of organized Presbyterianism in
the United States, is lying liz an
unmarked grave in a forgotten
cemetery on Holden Greek, in
Accomack county, Va. Over part
of the graveyard extends some
stable buildings.
John Calvin lies in an unmark- :
ed grave in Geneva. John Knox
sleeps under paving stone In
Parliament square, Edinburg.-
But the neglect OF the graves of
these great founders of Presby
terianism for the world, and Tor
Scotland, is no example to be
followed by DR.. McCook. He
has addressed himself to the
noble example and inspiring ask
of raising $4,000 TO buy the last
resting place of Francis Mackenzie,
to put on it suitable granite
monument, and otherwise suita-
bly, mark the place, with a sum
large enough to provide for its
care in all the future.

which has borne fruit for the
healing of all nations, there ougl t

and bring it quick. We also
want to buy corn, peas, green

price paid for all.
We wish TO say TO our trade
