UNCLE SAM In CUBA.

Secretary Taft is in Cuba, where | @
no doubt at every step by Governor
Magoon who is a trusted official of the
administration. In substance, Mr.. Taft
declares that the municipal and provin-
eial elections will probably be held
some time in September, but when the
subject of holding a general election for
a President and members of Congress
is mooted he becomes at once indefinite
and hazy. A census must be taken
first, and that would consume four
months, and besides he is not ready to
order the taking of a census. The long
and short of the matter is, the entire
subject goes over to next year. and no
one expects any action in Cuba in a
presidential year.
The American occupation of Cuba
would be far more beneficial to Cuba
and far more reassuring to all foreign
ers having investments there if the
truth were acknowledged at once
namely, we are in Cuba to stay. We
may get rid of the Philippines, tho us.
ands Of miles away, but we cannot af-
ford to let Cuba, neal at hand, drift
into strife and trouble.
The liberals of Cuba outnumber the
conservatives, and the two are sworn
enemies. The liberals are chiefly ne
groes in whole blood or in part, and
they have nothing in common with the
property holding class. This condition
renders selt-government in Cuba diff.
cult and probably impossible. The sit
uation cannot be changed in less than
a generation, and this induces the Gin
cinnati Enquirer to say: "Giye the
islanders all the chance possible for
independence and sslt-government, but
keep all the dates open. If advance
ment is rapid enough, the next gen.
GRAFTON, OF the one after that, may an
mex and make a happy family; but for
the present the American Eagle must
simply be Boss"

Schnapps Tofoacco is rfade ENTIRELY from Flue Cured
Tobacco Crown i'm the Piedmont Country.
The Imitation Brands Have Schnapps
Quality Only On the Outside
OF the PLUG

Hundreds of imitation brands are
on sale that look like Schnapps to-
bacco. The outside of the imitation
plugs of tobacco is fue cured the same
as Schnapps, but the inside is filled
with cheap, fimsy, heavily sweetened
air cured tobacco. One chew of
Schnapps will satisfy tobacco hunger
longer than two chews of such to-
bacco. The color, size and shape
of the tags, plugs and packages of
certain imitation brands of tobacco
have been made SO much like
Schnapps that they have often been
accepted by buyers under the belief
hat they were getting Schnapps.
Sufficient proof has been secured
to establish the fact that certain
brands are infringements and in vio-
lation of the trade mark laws, yet the
trade will continue to be imposed
upon by these infringers until the suit
already entered and now pending to
protect Schnapps is decided. A
great many of these limitations are
Goldsboro weekly argus. [volume] (Goldsboro, N.C.) 1885-1909, 1907-04-18

claimed to be "just as good" as
Schnapps, but there is only n gen.
uine Schnapps. Be sure the letters
on the tag, and stamped on the plug
under the tag spell S-C-H-N-A-P-P-S
and then you have 1.-THE most
wholesome tobacco produced, with
just enough sweetening to preserve
the mild, juicy, stimulating quality of
the leaf tobacco. Expert tests prove
that this fue cured tobacco, grown
in the famous Piedmont region, re-
quires and takes less sweetening than
any other and has a wholesome,
stimulating, satisfying effect on
chewers.
If the tobacco you are chewing
don't satisfy you more than the mere
habit Of expectorating, stop fooling
yourself and chew Schnapps tobacco.
Schnapps is like the tobacco chewers
formerly bought costing from 75c.
to $1.oo per pound; Schnapps is
sold at soc. per pound, in SC. cuts,
strictly 1oc. and 15c. plugs.

Quaker Concert Company.

The Quaker Concert company
which opened a series Of open air en-
tertainments upon the vacant lot at
Indiana avenue and Second street last
Thursday evening, has had a great
deal to contend with in the shape of
bad weather but, last evening, old
Boreas took a much needed rest and
as a result there was standing room
only" and that WAS az a premium.
The way the crowds have come ont
despite the cold and rain speaks vol
umes for the merit of the entertain
ments even though it is a free show.
The corps of entertainers nun Der six

concerts Is to attract crowds so that

MRS. GRANT SERIOUSLY HURT
Crushed Under Wheels of Train
at Harrison.

A sad accident happened in Harri.
son yesterday noon. While Mrs.
Fred Grant, mother Of the Grant
boys, who are interested in the Grant
Lumber company, was passing by the
tracks of the o. R 4 N. railway she
tried TO get through behind a wagon
which was backing up to one Of the
cars. She got too close to the cars
and they started suddenly and threw
her on the tracks. One limb was
drawn in on the track and crushed
In a horrible manner and the other
was badly lacerated, before the train
could be stopped. The mangled
member was arnputated and it is
thought that the other limb will
bave to be taken off. Mrs. Grant is
an old lady and it is doubtful if she
will survive her injuries. AT noon
today she was alive, with no hope for
her recovery.
AT the time Mrs. Grant was endeav-
oring to get by the freight she had
with her little Margaret Wheeler,
daughter Of r. X. Wheeler, OF the
First Bank of Harrison. Margaret
was thrown to the ground by the cars
and her ankle broken but outside OF
this nothing serious was appre-
hended. Last evening she complain
ed Of being hurt internally and de
spite all that could be done to save
her she died at nine O'Clock.

KILLING AT BRADEN.
Wayne Noblin Meets Death at Hands of Brother-ir-law Affair Caused By
 Quarrel Over Weight of Sack.

Braden, 1. T., Oct. S.-Wayne Noblin, well known young man in this section, was shot and instantly killed this afternoon by Frank Buchanan, his brother in- law, in quarrel which occurred about 2:30 o'clock.
 The shooting occurred about one mile from Bradeu, ard it is understood that the trouble be- tween the men arose over the weight of an empty cotton sack. One word led to another until hot words were spoken and serious charges made O. each other.
 The slayer used a shotgun, and the load entered Noblin's breast at close range having been fired while Buchanan stood about fif- teen feet away.
 Buchanan left the scene of the killing immediately and when last seen was rowing across the river in a skitf, headed toward Fort Smith. The community is greatly excited over the killing.  Both men have families.
 Deputy United States Marshal Tom Wallace arrived this after noou at 6 o'clock and organized a posse which went in search of Buchanan.
