ABRoeATloN OF MoRuA LAW
Claimed by Negroes to Be Basis for
Insurrecton.

Washington, May 4.-Abrogation of
the Morua law forbidding the organiza-
ton of the Negroes into political party
Is claimed by the Negroes in Cuba as
basis for their movement, according to
state department advices. They are also
declared to be striving for American in
tervention and the reelection OF Presi-
dent Gomez.
While President Gomez declared that
he will do all in his power to protect for
eign properties, doubt is expressed In Of
fetal dispatches of his ability TO do this,
owing to the scarcity of troops. The is
land government has said 1t expects to
crush the movement within 10 days with
the 1000 troops it has in the field. but
the Negroes are avoiding encounters.
their principal object apparently being
the destruction Of property. Reports of
the burning of cane fields near Guam
tanamo are declared to be exaggerated.

NEWS COMES SLOWLY.
Cuban Government Hears Nothing
Further from Province of oriente.

Havana. May 24-The Cuban gov
eminent declares that it has not re-
ceived any further news from the
province of Oriente while reports from
other sections of the island Indicate
that complete tranquility prevails.
El Triunfo, the government organ
announces that the insurrection mas
failed completely and the government
will be able speedily to restore order
thanks to the military efficiency OF the
army and the loyal support of the Gu
ban people. including all the better
elements of the colored race.
The press generally comments with
approval on the action of Washington
in sending warships and marines TO
Guantanamo, regarding it as an ex-
preston of the desire of the United
States to support the Cuban govern
ment in maintaining the independence
of the island.

This is not the first time the navy

contractors attempting to supply

bad beef, with the idea 1t would be
compelled to accept II or go without.
1t is probable that the meat of Phila-

but was rejected because 1t would not
keep long enough for use in the trop
les. If the meat was below contract
standard it will have the effect OF
barring the contractor from further

The Pink Paper intimates that the
present county officials have made sort
of combination for the purpose of being
rec ected to their present positions.
We doubt that the same is founded on
fact. Two years ago the county seat
fight absorbed the interest of the voters
SO that most of the county officers we're
elected without serious opposition, bus
thus year it will be different-and then
there are lot Of politioA debts to be
paid, promised during the county seat
fight. Guess 1t will be q free.for.all al
right, this time. Better send in your

worm is food for the late bird" But
there isn't any combination possible with
the different elements with which the
candidates must deal.

this county as given by the U. s. census
is 40, which is very near three quarter
sections. Hence the average tax per
farmer will be about $4.75 per year or
S95. in all.
The figures published by the Cavalier
committee before election were II cents
per quarter section. Further compari.
son would give the same results but is
Unnecessary. There are many individual
taxpayers in this county, farmers, who
will have to pay anywhere from $50. to
SlOO or more per year for the next
twenty years in order that Cavalier city
may have some fine buildings which
were not needed by anybody else.
In making this comparison it must be
remembered that the tax of 5000. does
not by any means include the total ex.
pense connected with the removal of the
county seat. It does not include the
many things which will later be needed
in and about the court house, jail and
grounds, it does not include the cost of
tine Drayton bridge, nor yet the sums
spent by the Cavalier committee in in
fuenclng the election; the loss on the
old county buildings, the appropriation

removal of furniture, books ETC., the ex-
pense of the bond election, also the extra

other things which have been or will be

Sunday School Convention.
The Mth annual county Sunday school
convention will bs held at Drayton.
June 1920. The provisional program
has been made out and will contain
many practical and special features.
Every department of the Sunday school
work has grown during the year. The
results will be gratifying and help to
give Others new vision of the 2Oth cen.
tury Sunday school. In addition to the
many able workers of our own county
we expect to have with us the General
Secretary and the Elementary Superin-
tendent, Mr.. and Mrs. Snow, who never
fail to create an inspiration among the
Sunday school workers that is profitable
to the Christian work of the Sunday
school. 1t will be good investment
for school to pay the way of it's dele

There is no doubt but that this conven.
tlon will reach high tide in our history.
