WILL COMPLICATE
THE SITUATION
THE DECISION IN THE ISLE OF
PINES CASE.
AMERICANS ARE HARASSED
outrageous Treatment is Received at
The Hands of The Cubans by Peo-
pie Who Have Invested Money.

Washington, D. C.-After waiting
or four years, perhaps hoping that
he treaty issue between the Presi-
lent and the Senate over the question
If ownership Of the Isle of Pines
would be settled, the United States
Supreme Court has decided it in a
say that is very encouraging to the
Cuban annexationists because of the
endency to complicate the relations
between the administration and the
SUDAN Government.
Since the ratification of the Treaty
# Paris, which was supposed to have
transferred title over the Isle OF
Pines to the United States, and with
hat island represented on official
maps as American territory, many
Americans have bought large tracts
bf land and made other investments
there.
The tobacco industry of the Isle
IF Pines was widely exploited and
fortunes were in sight for great
many people if the Supreme Court
had only sustained their views of
the situation. The question of own
ership of the island was the subject
of acrimonious disagreement in the
Senate. Senator Morgan taking up
the case of American residents there
and insisting that it was an outrage
for this government to desert clti-
zens who in good faith had assumed
the island belonged to this country.
The Cuban Government has been ac-
cused of outrageous treatment of
Americans living in the island, and
many of these charges have been so
wei authenticated that it is impossi-
BILE to doubt that there is much ba-
sis for them. Americans were jailed
for the most trivial offenses. Large
numbers of people from Pennsylvania
and Iowa had gone to the island and
engaged in business; great sums had
been invested there by Americans, so
that it was alleged before the Senate
Committee on Foreign Relations last
winter thac the greater part of the
islands area was owned by citizens
of this country. But the decision is
that the island belongs to Cuba.
It is considered almost certain that
Al.
assured Of slpreme power there will
assume an attitude toward American
interests more oppressive than ever
and that complications will be inevi-
table. The American owners of prop
erty there are certain to make them
selves heard soon if the Cuban gov
ernment proves as unfair to them as
they expect.

ROMANTIC DEvONSHIRE
The Land Made Famous by Ph:lpotts'
Novels.

Philpotts has made US familiar
with romantic Devonshire, in his fas-
cinating novels, "The River" Chill
dren of the MIST etc. The charac-
ters are very human; the people there
drink coffee with the same results as
elsewhere. A writer at Rock House,
Orchard Hill, Bideford, North Devon,
states:
For 80 years / drank coffee for
breakfast and dinner but some 5
years ago / found that it was produc-
ing indigestion and heartburn, and
was making me restless at night.
These symptoms were followed by.
brain fag and a sluggish mental con-
dition.
When l realized this, ! made up
my mind that to quit drinking coffee
and having read of Postum, ! con-
cluded to try it. had it carefully
made, according to directions, and
found to my agreeable surprise at the
end of week, that no longer sur
fered from either indigestion, heart
burn, or brain fag, and that ! could
drink it at night and secure restful
and refreshing sleep.
''Since that time we have entirely
discontinued the use of the old kind
OF coffee, growing fonder and fonder
of Postum as time goes on. MY di-
gestive organs certainly do their work
much better now than before, a re-
suit due to Postum Food Coffee, ! am
satisfied.
las a table beverage we find (for
all the members of my family use IT'D
that when properly made it is most
refreshing and agreeable, Of delicious
favour and aroma. Vigilance is,
however, necessary to secure this, for
unless the servants are watched they
are likely to neglect the thorough
boiling which it must have in order
to extract the goodness from the
cereal. Name given by Postum Co.,

How Old is the sphlnx?-No One

Knows.
The great Sphinx of Ghizeh bears
no inscription by which we can tell
its date. In 1916 Ceviglia, who in
modern times was the first to clear
away the sand, found between its
paws stele of the reign of Thothmes
w, and, therefore, is was believed
that the Sphinx was carved by that
monarch. But in 1858 the excavation
of Mariette uncovered a stele bear
ing the name of Cheops, on which Is
q reference to the Sphinx. The in
scription is evidently of late per-
iod bit is supposed to be an exact
copy of an ancient carving, and the
translation seemed to place the
Sphinx earlier than the Pyramids,
and consequently to prove it the most
ancient piece of work in the world.
Still there remained four lines carved
on the base which could not be read,
but NJ Daressy has now deciphered
them, and it appears that the inscrip-
tion is in two parts. In the earlier
lines there is no mention of the
Sphinx, but the lines which date from
the Persian occupation mention the
repair of the Sphinx. There is, there
fore, nothing by which We can tell
the date of the monument, and the
only evidence we have is the head
dress of the Colossus. Its hood is
ornamented behind with three bands,
a large one between two smaller
bands Now this is fashion which
only existed toward the end of the
twelfth dynasty in the reigns of Usur-
tesen III. and Amenemhat III. AS this
family showed much zeal for the god
Harmaklin, whose portrait the Sphinx
is, it is probable that the monument
is the work of Amenemhet III.-Lon-
don Globe.

The horses of ancient Rome, tug
ging in glittering harness at the jewell
led-laden chariot of some returning
hero in triumphal procession, never
dragged behind them such treasure as
do daily four white horses of uncer-
tain pedigree which toll for the Treas
ury Department. Every morning, at
little before nine, they leave the
Bureau of Printing and Engraving
dragging a steel wagon containing one
million dollars in currency. An armed
guard accompanies the van. Day in
and day out they plod their short route
to the Treasury building conscious
only of the fact that it is somewhat
of a light load for four able-bodied
horses. s.-Ridgewev's

Negotiations Proceed.

The state department received o
dispatch from Philip Brown, secreta-
ry of the United States legation in
Guatemala and Honduras, saying
that negotiations are proceeding for
the sediment of the dispute between
Nicarauga and Honduras. Mr.. Brown
is, still at La Union, and it appears
that he is acting in the interest of
Salvador in treating with Nicarau-
qua. This is entirely on his own ini-
tiative, and does not involve the
United States in any manner, ac-
cording to state department officials.
It is said that the greatest diff
Guilty attending a settlement is the
keen desire of the Nicaraugan forces
to capture President Bonilla, who is
at the head of the Honduran army
in the west of that republic. To eff
feet his capture would necessitate re-
newed fighting, and the other coun-
tries in Central America are trying
to avoid this, and it is the desire also
of United States and Mexico that
hostilities be brought to close at
once.
Ambassador Creel of Mexico. is the
man looked to here as the mediator.
No indications Of a change in the
geography Of Central America has
thus far been implied in the nego-
tiations.

discuss the disposition Of the declara-
ton made by John Temple Graves Of
Georgia at the Bryan anniversary club
banquet at Chattanooga, that Mr.. Bry
an should at the forthcoming Demo

Roosevelt for another term. The state
ment Of Mr.. Graves excited much in

many requests that the president say
something, but he uniformly declined

The proposition by the farmers
Union to create a market for cotton
bagging for the wrapping of cotton in
the state is gathering strength as the
year grows older, and business agent
Welch is receiving hundreds of let
ters pledging the support of members
to the plan. If bagging can be made
for reasonable price from storm cot
ton, why should not every farmer in
the state use it? $4,000 bales Of poor
cotton would be thus used and taken
from the hands Of spectators who
use such as menace to hammer the
price Of good cotton down to where
they want it. President Bass is en-
thusiastic in support of the PROPOSE
ton, and it is likely that successful
effort will be made this fall along the
lines indicated. Of course there are
those who will oppose it and claim
it sophistry, but pay no attention
to such men, keep pushing the plan
and forget them. They show very
plainly that their interest is some
where else and they should be shown
no consideration whatever. The just
trust was hammered by this plan
years ago and it can be done again
if our people are in earnest.

In selecting men for the offices this
year, first believe that your candidate
is thoroughly honest and answering.
then figure on his ability. Better to
have a man who is not so brilliant
than one who will allow himself to
be handled in the interest of any
scheme by the use of money or the
promise of power. This subject may
be getting little thread bare, but
it is of enough Importance to bear re-
petition a number of times. Consid-
er this matter carefully before cast

Labelling of Liquor.

The long expected opinion of At.
torney General Bonaparte concerning
the proper labelling of whiskey under
the Pure Food Law, approved june
80, 1906, has been made public at the
White House. It's purpose is briefly
told in the following letter addressed
by the President to the Secretary OF
Agriculture
"In accordance with your sugges-
ton, have submitted the matter con-
cerning the proper labelling of whis-
ky under the Pure Food Law to the
Department of Justice. ! inclose the
Attorney Generals opinion. I agree
with this opinion and direct that
action be taken in accordance with it:
"Straight whisky will be labeled
as such.
"a mixture of two or more straight
whiskies will be labeled blended whis-
ky or whiskies.
"a mixture of straight whisky and
ethyl alcohol, provided that there is
sufficient amount Of whisky to make
it genuinely MIXTURE will be Ia
beled as compound of or compound
with pure grain distillate.
limitation whisky will be labeled
as such.

Those who are wondering what kind
of weather is in store for us during
the present year, may be surprised
to learn that the year 1916 was gen.
orally known as the year without a
summer. Not month of that year,
so it is said, was without ice and
snow at some point in the United
States, and crops were a dismal fail
ure except in isolated spots. Febru-
ary was as warm as July and other
months also changed places. The
weather so far this year has been de-
cidedly freakish, but there is yet no
occasion for alarm. The greatest trou
BILE is shortage of moisture that
would make drought later on espec-
tally disastrous. Keep in good cheer
and all will be well.

The building of a great common
wealth is what Mississippians are en-
gagged in just now. The ground work
is being laid and development is com
ing at slow but sure PAGES. Our TIM
Der wealth is something enormous and
the cutting Of its adds thousands OF
dollars daily to the circulating me-
dunn. With the building of the Pan
anna canal and the diversion of ocean
traffic through our section, Mississip-
pi has two excellently located deep
water ports that are bound to become
of great Importance. Pascagoula and
Gulfport are of course, referred to.
AS an evidence of what Gulfport is
doing the following is taken from an
exchange: "The Gulfport harbor es-
tablished new record for lumber
exports during the month of March,
the shipments amounting to 33,2S7,-
600 feet board measure, valued at
$761 500. The shipments for the first
three months of this year amount to
89,291,0O0 feet, and if this average
is maintained during the remaining
nine months the total lumber exports
for 1907 will be approximately $780,
100000 feet. Last years record was
296,125,000 feet, as compared with
207,614,O00 feet for the previous year.
It will thus be seen that the business
of the harbor is increasing at rate
of about thirty per cent. per annum.
In reality, Gulfport's export business
is limited only by the capacity of the
harbor and loading facilities. More
vessels are applying for anchorage
each week than can find room in the
basin. During the month of March
thirty-four vessels cleared from the
harbor, their net registered tonnage III
the aggregate being $3.50 tons. Five
of the number carried cargoes consid-
erably in excess of one million feet.
The vessels clearing were Russian,
British, German, American, Norwe-
gian, Dutch and Italian and the bulk
of the shipments went to South Amer
lean ports, with goodly number of
cargoes to Havana, Colon, Hamburg,
and Rotterdam. The harbor is now
filed to the limit with vessels taking
on cargoes, and the export trade is
so heavy that it has been necessary for
the ship Island road to adopt strin-
gent rules relative to acquisitions for
cars to carry export shipments. Now
rules regarding the unloading of cars
on the piers have also been adopted. "
This is a very satisfactory state of
affairs indeed, but how much better
would it have been if our own people
could have been induced to cut and
market this lumber than to have
awaited outsiders to come in and do
it. There are still hundreds of op-
portunities lying around awaiting the
coming of some man to take advant-
age Of them. Mississippians wake
up. Now is the time to get to doing
something.

Something was said few days
since in these columns anent the oys-
ter industry of Mississippi, but stat
istics more recently given out place
the state in the lead in this very i'm.
portant industry 1t has been su
posed that Maryland was ahead in
this line, but not so. See the follow
ing for last year: In 1900 the oyster
business of Maryland amounted to
1928, ,565; Louisiana, $71, ,625; Missis-
sippi, $31,605. In 1906, Maryland,
$54s, ,649; Louisiana, $780,, 1873; Missis-
sippi, $1,34O,942. This is a remarks
Bile changing of the scales in the oys-
ter business. Seven years ago Mary
land furnished nine times as many
oysters as Louisiana and Mississippi
combined, while at present, Louisiana
is almost equal in production with
Maryland and Mississippi doubles
either or is equal to both. Hurrah
for Mississippi.

Must Answer.

court in the state of New York ts
answer proceedings to be instituted
to compel him to answer certain ques.
tions which he refused to answer
when he was on the stand at the

New York. Numerous conferences
have been held on the subject by the
members of the commission in antici-
patton of this action which will be
brought as soon as special counsel can
prepare to the case for submission to
the court.
The hearing at which Mr.. Harri-
man appeared was held in the latter
part of February and it was in con-
nection with certain transactions OF
the Union Pacific that Mr.. Harrison
on advice of counsel, refused to an.
swer the questions put to him. II
was brought out in the testimony that
the Union Pacific owned large
amount Of Southern Pacific stock.
Mr.. Hartman was asked whether
any and if so, how much Of thai
stock belonged to himself, when he
bought it and price he paid for it:
but he declined to answer.
Another question which he refused
to answer and upon which the COM
mission desires light was whether OF
not any of the directors of the Union
Pacific were interested in the sale
of certain shares of stock of the New
York Central railroad at the time
they were sold to the Union Pacific.
