MORGAN VS.. CUBA.
(By Chas. A. Edwards,

u 10Y A1Ac4C- "a. LII " IL ISL
The latest news from Cuba will IN
dicate that I had uttered prophesy
WREN I said in my letter that Roose
velt was sending Taft and Bacon to
Cuba for the purpose of getting rid OF
,oor old man Palma and his admins
tration. That is exactly what they
are doing and knew whereof spoke
when | made the assertion. Palma is
only q poor old honest school teacher
who does not understand nor appre
ciate the tricks of the captains of f.
nance.
When ]. Pierpont Morgan and his
crowd of financial free-booters de-
manded certain railroad concessions
of him he refuse to grant them.
There is no doubt in the minds of
the people who are onto their jobs
that Morgan and his gang are respon-
sible for the strife in Cuba by fer
menting discomfort with Palma's ad-
ministration among the rabble, ex-
cited them to the point of rebellion
and furnished them with arms with
which to fight.
When the crisis came what more
natural thing could happen than that
Roosevelt, acting under the Platt
amendment, should step in as a med
iator and send as one of the peace
envoye a junior member of the firm
of J. Pierpont Morgan and Company
in the person of Mr.. Robert Bacon,
assistant secretary of state. They
have gone there and bulldozed and
browbeat poor old Palma until self
respect forces him and his cabinet to
resign rather than treat with a vul-
gar rabble in arms. Taft and Bacon
placed the terms of compromise. that
President Palma must accept, in
such shape that ne could not accept
them and retain his self respect.
Fhey also coupled it with a request
that unless he did so the United
States would invade the island in
the alleged interests of peace and
tranquility but really for the purpose
of annexation.
Whether or not we annex Cuba as
a part of this Union J. Pierpont Nor
gan and Company will have gained
their ends becaUse shey can get any
thing they desire in the shape of q
from this administration.
With the game played to the con-
clHsion end if yon have the slightest
adumbration of intellect you viii note /
-'at instead Of being a peacemaker |
and reformer Mr.. Roosevelt is a
and a panderer to the plum
nerband of New York.

Army to Use New Bullet.

1t is said that the army will soon

DRAINING THE EVERGLADES.

duty to the people among whom we
have lived so long did we not. a
least, tell them what our views or
the subject are.
The question to be considered is
not Governor Broward's honesty il
the matter: nor whether the drainage
plan is feasible or practicable; not
whether tEe land drained would be
enhanced in value-but whether the
people. the tax payers. of the state.
would be benefited theIehv.
AS to the lands in the Everglades
they are involved in a lawsuit Our
state legislature granted every acre
of them to the various railroad con-
panies. The trustees of the internal
improvement fund, for tie first tine
in the history of our state, refused 70
make deeds and the railroad CO.'S Al.
les went TO the Law to compel them
- 10 So
1t is not wise. it is not good policy
nor is it In accordance with good bus
mess methods to spend thousands of
dollars of the peoples money in i'm
proving property which may be lost.
But, again, suposing for the sake
of argument. that there were no cues
tion about the title of the state TO
these lands, even then they should
not be expended in draining the Ev-
crglades. nor any other swamp. Thyse
lands, or every dollar of the proceeds
derived from their sale. belongs to
the school fund of the state.
1t is not wise. it is not 5usinesslike,
it is not to the interest of the farmers
of this country to take money which
! is provided by the law to educate
their children to drain a swamp two
thirds of which alreday belongs to cor
porations, with fair prospect of
their being possessed of the balance
of it.
The proceeds OF the sale of that
land. if put in to school fund, where
the law says itSshall be placed
would beneht every child of school
age in the state. Waste 1t IN digging
bitches in the Everglades and the
corporations are the gamers and the

Now let us hear no more from
thoughtless tongues about the use
less expense of maintaining an ef-
ficient state military organization.
What would Atlanta have done the
other day when she was under the
heel of the murderous hoodlum and
bowling gangs of toughs were having
1t all their own way. but for those
fine military companies quickly
brought upon the scene by order of
the governor. The moral effect of
their mere presence was a mighty
help in restoring order. and with the
discipline and efficiency of regulars
they did their work and drove the
iawless element to cover. The peo-
pie OF Atlanta today feel a deep graft
tude TO those young soldiers and the
shollow, unthinking sentiment which
decries the militia will find no conn
tenane in Georgia now. Here in
the south especially. for reasons
plain to the commonest intelligence
do we need state military system
kept up to the highest point of ef-
ficiency. and in towns and cities
where there are militia companies
each citizen should be ready and elos
to give his warmest encouragement
to the organization. thus helping to
maintain the esprit du corps. so es-
sential in military life.-Liye Oak

What it Costs to Pick the Cotton
Crop

It requires something like 100000
cotton pickers, eacL picking 100
pounds of seed cotton on an average
for each picker and worker 100 days.
TO pick the 100000 bale crop. OF
course. some pick more than 100
pounds of seed cotton and some less.
There are days, when on
account of rain, no cotton
can be picked. The average
of 100 pounds a day for 100 days is
not far wrong as an estimate of the
pickers work.
At so cents a hundredweight the
cost of picking bale of cotton is SO.
At rs cents hundredweight the cost
is SLIPS a bale. IAerefore the cost
of picking the entire crop will range
somewhere between $9O.000,00O and
s112. 00.0O0.-Charlotte On. Co.

A NEW YORK SKYsCRAPER.
Elevators Garry More Than Street
Cars of a City Like Nashville.

Wherever the fame of New York
Skyscrapers has spread some vague
idea of the enormous capacity Of these
colossal structures must have been
formed, but it is not impossible that
few persons living right in the me-
tropoliS have made a careful study of
the activities of these commercial
centers. Perhaps there are those who
would laugh to scorn the statement
that a single building in New York is
entered daily by 10000 persons. or. as
many as the entire population of Har-
risburc, Pa, or other similar cities Of
the United States, like Houston, Tex,
Akron, o., Lincoln, Neb., and more
than there are persons in cities like
Montgomery, Ala. Wherever such a
statement may be discredited, it is
only necessary to point out the fact
that an accurate count was made one
day by f. T. Bacon, superintendent
of the Park Row Syndicate building,
one of the most conspicuous of the
New York skyscrapers, of every per-
son who entered the elevators in that
place. 1t was a simple matter to
station guards at every entrance to
the building and give each person
entering a ticket which was taken up
by the elevator drivers. At the close
of the day these tickets were counted
and il was found that something over
10000 persons had ridden the elevat-
crs that day. This is said to exceed
the entire street ear system of Nash
vile, Tenn. in a single day, this in
formation coming from a former sup
erintendent of the trolley service of
that city, who was subsequently en-
ployed as one of the agents of the
Park Row skyscraper.
