0TS in lis Behalf.

very pretty picture, Thursday evening,
upon the occasion of the annual Char
ity ball given by the Hospital Aid
The event was attended by upwards
OF 800 representative society people or
Augusta and vicinity and was fuii
dress affair, the conventional black OF
the mems attire forming an effective
contrast with the dainty gowns, mostly
of light shades, worn by their far
partners.
The order of dances included IL
numbers and two extras ana it was
long past midnight when theT We're
finished. \ novel feature of the order
which was thoroughly appreciated by
the dancers. was the appearance of the
music rendered by the orchestra OPP
nosita the dance. This idea was car
ried out at the suggestion of the iloar
director. Charles f. Downing. who
was untiring in his efforts and com
nletelv successful in making the tloor
rrangements all thai could, possibly
he desired. His aids, who ably second
ed his efforts, were George f. Will
coy Blaine Owen, Charles p. kins-
man. GUY p. Gannett, 3. Earle Bith-
or Stanley Patten. Walter Nj. san
born Ralph w smith and Nathan
s. Weston.
The music. which was entirely salts
factory was furnished by 10 pieces oil
Dennis Orchestra. The floor was as
claan as the proverbial whistle and IN
admirable condition for dancing. The
gathering was large enough to NIL the
floor we'll and still leave room for the
successful carrying out of each dance
without crowding or confusion.
Delicious refreshments We're served
ar intermission. This part of the al
fair had the attention of committee
which included Mrs. George b. keene.
Mrs. r.. II. Bodwell, Mrs. Stanley Pat
ten and Mrs. Edwin Hendee. The re-
were all obtained through
dona ton and so generous was the re-
sponse that there was an abundance
even for a much larger gathering.
Mrs. Guy p Gannett was at the head
of the committee of the Aid which
looked after the disposal of the tickets
and that committee did its work thor
oughly. Many tickets were dis
posed of to those who We're unable TO
attend so that the number present did
not fully represent those who took adj

CUBAN RECIPROCITY
TREATY is UNDER WAY
Provision In Present Convention Fa-
vorIno Sugar Likely to Provo En-
barrassIns II Congress Acts.

Washington, Feb. 15.--The neces-
sity of the proposed new reciprocity
treaty between the United States and
Cuba was explained at the state de-
partment on the ground that threat
ened revision of the sugar tariff by
congress might affect a provision con-
tanned In article 8 OF the present con-
vention, which reads:
"And no sugar, the product Of any
foreign country, shall be admitted by
treaty or convention into the United
States while this convention is in
force. at lower rate Of duty than
that provided by the tariff act OF the
United States approved July "a. 1897
(the Dingley act)."
The present treaty has continued in
operation from year to year in tho
absence of a desire Of either party to
terminate IT.
Recently the Cuban government pro-
posed to the state department that
the treaty be extended Ave years,
with the understanding that the re-
vsed treaty should then go into op-
GRAFTON.
The state department declined this
proposition because OF the inclusion
In the treaty of the foreign sugar pro-
vision. which 1t desired to he rid OF.
II this provision, along with the rest
Of tho treaty, had been extended ttve
years, the state department would find
itself in an embarrassing position II
congress should pass, and the presi-
dent should approve any Legislation
reducing sugar duties generally. for
such action would be in violation OF
the Cuban treaty, and yet there would
be no way to terminate that treaty
within five years.
OF the nature Of the new treaty ut
tie can be stated at this time, but II Is
understood that the Cubans Will be
expected to reIinauish some of the
advantages they enjoy under the ar
ticle which now admits all of their
sugar, tobacco and other products into
the United States at a reduction OF 20
per cent from tho rates paid by other
countries.

REPORT ON SENATOR DELAYED
Committee Minority Will Not Act Un.
ell Return Of Senator Kern Late
This Week.

Washington, Feb. 13.-The minority
report for the senate committee on
privileges and elections adverse to
Senator Isaac Stephenson OF Wiscon-
sin probably will not be filed in the
senate until Senator Kern returns to
the city late In the week. This re-
port, signed by Senators Kenyon, Lea,
Jones, Clapp and Kern. Will hold that
the senate has a right to inquire into
senatorial primaries as we'll as the
election itself.
It. il asserted that the $lO7.0O put
out by Senator Stephenson was prao-
tically all spent at the primaries, and
that tho real contest for the senate
seat was fought there. If corrupt
practices marked the primaries, the
minority report will aver that tho
election itself must have been So
cured by corrupt means.
The report will urge the senate to
assume jurisdiction over primaries
and thus take a stand against the
sale of seats in the United States SEN
ate" 1t also will be held that the
enormous primary expenditures have
not been satisfactorily explained.
