True Inwardness of the Cuban Trou-
BILE.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. September 27.-The
people generally of this country are just now
wondering why the trouble in Cuba arose, and
why the President of the United States was
so quick to rush in and again play the part of
mediator between peoples who are at enmity. L
believe know the reason why all this trouble
came about, and why the President now is
sending ENJOYS of peace to this troubled island.
1t will be noticed that one, Robert Bacon,
Assistant Secretary of State, is one of the en-
voys. Do you know who Bacon is He is
{. Nor partner in the firm Of j. P. Morgan and
Npany of New York, which is the CONTROL
actor in Roosevelt's administration. He
4 Mr.. Bacon out of that office at the dictate
Morgan and placed him in position where
Ecould best subserve the interests OF his
liking house. Morgan and his interests
7 ew that sooner or later this trouble must
me in Cuba because they were pressing the
3nest old President of that young republic
a certain concessions that he in his honesty
Iefused to concede to them. They then TO-
mented this strife and now have sent their
own agent there to patch up peace which
will be at the expense of the people of Cuba
or put Palma out of Office. When Bacon re-
turns he either will have in his pocket the con
cessions that Morgan demands or President
Palma's scalp. They then will put in Office
backed by the soldiers and sailors of America
their own plant tool, or else take over the
island. That is the game that Roosevelt is
playing for the benefit of the captains of
finance while the people look on and applaud
him as a pacifcator and a peace loving presi
dent. The gullibiity of the public of this
country is proverbial but Oh Heavens how it
now is being fooled by this actor in the White
House. How long, Oh Lord, how long?

Some Labor Day Musings.

Solid marching on Labor Day will not
accomplish as much in the way of good
results as solid voting on election day.
Union labor that marches for itself and
votes for the other fellow has no grounds
to complain if it gets the worst of 1t.
A vote in the box is worth a mile OF
parade.
A man is known by the candidates he
votes for.
The best labor parade is straight home
from the cashier window.

A New Law Firm.

Messrs. G.. r. Graham and T. G.
Sturkie have formed co-partnership
for the practice of law. Col. Graham
has practiced law for twenty-five
years and is one of the most astute
lawyers in the State. Mr.. Sturkie is
a young man of considerable ability
and has had considerable experience
in the practice of his profession. The
firm occupy four rooms in the Kauf-
mann building where one of them
can be found at all times during the
day. All business entrusted to them
will receive prompt attention. Busi-
ness placed into the hands of either
member of the firm prior to the farm
alton of the co-partnership will be
attended to by the one into whose
hands it was placed. The new firm
is a strong one and will undoubtedly
receive large patronage.
The formation of the co-partnership
was made necessary because of the
increase of business that came into
their hands.

A NEGRO Drowned.

VIII Lane, young negro and an
axman of the engineering corps work
ing on the survey for the water power
company near Dreher's ferry, went
to that place on Sunday morning to
go in swimming and plunged into
water at the ferry about twelve feet
deep and apparently he could not
swim, as he almost sank at once, in
the presence of a number of people
who, it is said, offered all the assist
ance advisable, handing a pole to the
drowning man, but he did not grasp
it and sank. Some of them patriotic
enough proposed to swim in, but
others said both would be drowned,
and so they had to stand and see the
man drown. His body was recovered
and sent to his home in Columbia for
burial.

Wednesday, lune 6, 1906.

For some time we have been trying
to find out how the teachers of this
county are pleased with the books
now on the State list and the results
obtained with these books as well as
the sentiment of the people in regard
to changes of text books.
As far as we have been able to
learn, the present books with few ex-
ceptions, are satisfactory and have
given good results. Our schools have
made decided progress with them.
Teachers are familiar with them and
scan do better work with them than
they could with new books, and it
would take some time to become
familiar with.
Our people are decidedly opposed
to changes, except where absolutely
necessary. Changes are very costly
as they know from experience.
1t is to be hoped that the State
board will not burden the people Of
the State with any extensive changes
in our present book list.
