Santiago, Nov 9.-Tomas Es-
trada Palma the first president of the
Cuban republic, was born in 1885 in
the province of Bayamo. where his
father was rich land owner and
cattle raiser. The boy had all the
advantages money could give him.
He studied under a private teacher
at home and finally was sent to
Spain to enter the university at Sc
Vile. There he was graduated in
the law. and It was his Intention to
become barrister in Cuba.
That he was never TO achieve this
ambition was due to the spread Of
the revolutionary fury. His return
to the island was followed by the
mutterings that preceded the long
fight for liberty His father died
and It deyolyed upon the young man
to manage the estate. The war be-
gan. The spaniards. besides confis-
eating his lands, captured his mother
and practically tortured her to death
They tortured her in an effort to

his bereavement years afterward.
"and then they left her half dead
in the woods. where. after wander
ing. for days. she was rescued. too
late to save her life."
Lived With Soldiers i'm Bush.
Casting his lot with the revolution
lists giving them what ready money
he could raise, and fighting with
them whenever the chance came, he
quickly rose to leadership, was
chosen a deputy, and finally became
president of the provisional govern
ment. This government was a MI
gratory establishment. moving its
headquarters as often as the enemy
made it necessary. but II was recog-
nized by the natives none the less,
and Cuba Libre continued to look
upon Palma as its chief, with Gen.
Maxine Gomez as his secretary of
war.
While on a march with few
troops Palma was captured by the
Spanish captain, Mozo Viejo. Hav-
ing spent u few days in Moro castle,
Havana. he was sent to Spain. where
he spent ted months in various pris-
ons. his last stop being in the
fortress OF Figueras. in the foothills
of the Pyrenees. II was there that
he again proclaimed himself presi-
dent of the republic.
Marrics and Comes to 4. :.
When they let him go free, in
1873, the ten years war was over,
and Spain had frightened her grip on
the island to sch an extent that II
was useless for him TO return. He
went to Honduras, of which republic
he became postmaster general There
he married. and he and his bride
moved TO Orange county. y. Y.
They established a school for the
education OF boys from the South
American republic and conducted II
for twenty years.
Palma did not consider, IL eKtraor-
binary that he, country school
master OF New York state. should
be transformed suddenly into Dresi-
dent of the republic of Cuba.
In his own mind he had been the
legal. possessor of the high title near

on merely as restoration OF his

always characterized him. he leaped

gay lived captains general of Spain.

tablished a private academy in the

VOTE ONE MILL TAX
LAIIDERDALE AND JACKSON C0UN-
 TIES TAKE THE STEP.
Make Forfy-Third County to Levy a Local Tax For Support of Pulp
 He Schools--About the

When, according to a report receiv- ed Wednesday by the Department of Education, it became known officially that Jackson and Lauderdale counties had voted for the special educational tax of one mlll, it made the forty-third county in the State to put itself in this class. The people of these counties by<a three fifths vote November third took the advanced step in educational progress and their funds will be in- creased for future needs.
 Rare indeed are the cases in which the local one.mill tax has failed since first the proposition was agitated. It started during the energetic regime Of former Superintendent of Education. Hon. Isaac W. Hill Of almost weekly occurrance for a while was the rati- fication of such a tax in this or that county by free and full vote of the people therein. It has served to put the cause of education in this State on a higher plane. according to all com ments on the subject, and the wisdom of the law. 1t seems has been estab- lished.
 Lauderale and Jackson counties will profit almost equally by the added tax. This is based on the taxable valuations in those counties for the year lsO7-0S. If this is accepted, Jackson will have an additional fund for her schools of $5,7s7.s0 while Lauderale's will be $5.37775.
 The proceeds from this ope-mill tax are thrown into the general school fund of the county and is apportioned by the county board just as the money drawn from thes State Treasury am nuaIly. It can also be used for the maintenance of the new county high sch ools.
 The one-mill tax was enacted at the 1903 session of the Legislature in pur- suance of Section 2es of the Alabama Constitution. It provides in brief that when as many as 200 freeholders in a county present petition to the county commissioners or boards of revenue, asking for an election to determine the levy of the tax such an election shalt be ordered. If three-fifths majority Is cast for the tax 1t shall be establish ed.
 It is predicted that in the space of another two years practically all coun- ties shall have voted the tax. Two or three counties like Escambia have n local tax of more than one mill, 1t bee ing understood that Escambia with her two-mill tax was the pioneer In this progress. @

State Game and Fish Commissioner 5no. H. waiiace's first annual report has been submitted to Governor Co., msr and shows results of operation be- yond the expectations of the friends

 has put into the State Treasury a net fund of nearly $15.o00.
 Explaining the reasons for .the De- partment being. the Commissioner has this to say:
 The enactment of the statute that made the Department of Game and Fish State department. and provided ann pie laws for the preservation and pro- tection of the game and fish of Ala banaa. was the direct result of most earnest desire on the part of the far seeing people to save from oblitera- ti0n the valuable asset of our fields, forests and streams.
 Tn the past our people sought to. extend some degree of protection to their game and fish by the enactment of local laws: these statutes differing in every country as to the open season on game birds. were never respected and were openly and notoriously vio- lated. The cause of persistent infrac- tfons of the local game laws was that there was no specially constituted ser vice to enforce these statutes. No one felt called upon to prosecute his neighbor. and while all agreed that the game and fish should be protected, yet these laws were constantly vio- lated by prominent persons. The people, after witnessing the most pro- nounced failure of. these statutes. de- xnanded adequate Legislation that would

It takes 100 barrels of oil every twenty-four hours to run this dredge. When all the dredge equipment is brought into play, the monthly output of material will be not far from l,5oo.o0o cubic yards.
 On the whole. the work on the Canal for the next year promises to be even more satisfactory than that which has been done during the present year. satisfactory as that has been. Every nation in Christendom has held It's breath watching Uncle Sam dig the Canal. He has. outdone every other nation almost two to one.
 It is a fortunate thing for the con- tractors Of the United States that this canal digging machine is not at work here at home. It would set so low a mark for general efficiency, that the Government might be persuaded to do all of It's river and harbor work itself. No accurate estimate has yet been made fthe relative cost of work on the Isthmus and in the States, but all observers seem to agree that when q sufficient allowance Is made for the dif- ference Tn cOn0lItOnS dL uUInS Abu .Oh the Isthmus, the canal-diggers have the advantage of the workers at home. And this in spite of the fact that the majority of the laborers are West Ir- dian negroes, untrained to construction work, and unusued to any sort of work at all.
 The Panamanian Government Is again raising a kick against the Canal Commissary The son of Presidena Obaldia has been in Washington pro- testing against the commissary being allowed to continue It's sale of sup- plies to the Americans on the Isthmus. He says that the Americans are all wealthy, and are able to pay the price the Panama merchants would charge them for supplies But this iS not g fact. Although the Americans on the Isthmus get good wages. they are not wealthy and they would be poverty stricken if they had to buy tn cir sup plies from the native Panama mef- chants. If one knows how to drive a bargain win a Panamanian Chinaman. he is likely to do very well. But the native merchant will bleed him every time! It was a Knowledge of this fact that led to the establishment of a commisary carrying department store lines. It Is this knowledge that will continue this sort of commissary.
