ND ULT|MATU|N
ISSUED To CUBA

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-Reports
of popular excitement in Cuba as
an outgroWth of negotiations be-
tween Major General Crowder and
the Zayas administration, resulted
today in a formal announcement by
Acting Secretary Phillips, of the
state department that General
Crowder has not delivered an u1ti
matum to the Cuban government"
It was indicated that department
officials were much concerned over
the situation which has arisen since
publication of assertions that the
general, who is in Cuba as the
personal representative of President
Harding, had served notice he would
return to the United States unless
the legislative reform program ap-
proved by this government were en-
acted into law within ten days.
In his announcement, Secretary
Phillips also characterized as entire
~ without foundation stories which
have been published in Cuba fore
casting armed intervention by the
United States unless quick action is
taken to complete the suggested re-
! forms.
While officials of the Washington
/ government generally are keenly in
terested in the Cuban economic sit.
uation and make no efforts to con-
ceal their anxiety for the adoption
of the five-part program General
Crowder has suggested for the re-
construction Of the Cuban govern
1nent, they are equally as anxious
that friendly relations with the
island authorities shall continue.
Publication of reports of drastic
acton are regarded here as calcu-
lated to deter rather than promote
progress by the island authorities
in bringing about the adoption of
the reform program.

NOAH COOPER.

Poor old Noah Cooper, of Nashville.
who imagines himself candidate for
the Democratic nomination for United
States Senator, is crazy as bedbug
yet seems to have an eye ON the
ssmain chance" contributions, In a
Nashville paper of last Saturday, af-
ter campaign of East Tennessee,
Mr.. Cooper said:
II had good crowds at nearly every
place; and received contributions
from many folks in all walks Of life" "
If Cooper had good crowds at nearly
all places, he was more favored than
have been any Of the real candidates
for the same nomination.
In the same article he said further:
"My gourd is in good fix, is handled
everywhere, and ! expect to drink out
of it and have my fellow senators
drink out of it in the Senate next
year"
Every day gives me new indica-
tions that will be elected"
Cooper has not and never has had
any more shadow of chance to be
nominated than has a man who never
dreamed Of running for any office
from dog-killer to president. We are
glad that the poor fellow is harmless
in his lunacy-and we sympathize
with the suckers who have given up
good money to pay for his cheese and
crackers.

MCCLELLAN AND FITZHUGH
HAVE THE FIELD.

With Mr.. Sims out of the way, SEN
ator X. D. McKellar and Capt. G. T.
Fitshugh, both of Memphis, have the
running to themselves in the race for
the nomination for United States
Senator in the Democratic primary to
be held August 3rd. This does not
take into account the candidacy of
Noah Cooper, of Nashville, who, to
our mind, has no more chance for
nomination than has man whose
name will not appear on the ballot.
Mr.. Cooper is doubtless a good man
and his candidacy has been given
space in theNashville papers that was
refused the best man who has offered
for the nomination-Mr. Sims-but
all the papers and all the people know
that the Cooper candidacy is farce.
Senator Mcclellan, as a member Of
Congress and in the Senate, has a
record and that record is known and
favorably to working people. Capt.
Fitzhugh is a distinguished lawyer
and has many friends, especially
among business interests Of the State.
He has had a manner of support, by
at least one daily paper, that he would
doubtless have repudiated in advance
had he been consulted.
y Choose We between them.

PROMISE OF A BUMPER CROP
IN COUNTY.

From our own observation after
making few trips into the country
and from reports made by persons
who have travelled all over the coun-
ty, we can state that Henderson coun-
ty now has promise Of the best gen
eral crop made in several years. The
rains came in time and general
enough to save and make the hill
lands corn and the bottoms are re-
ported to be fine with the exception
of a very few places where there has
been an excess of moisture. There
have been more cool nights in July
than ever before experienced by even
the Oldest inhabitant and that fact
tended to check the too rapid growth
of cotton. However, later conditions
very warm days and considerable rain
have had tendency to give cotton
plant too much tweed" with the ex-
ception of some of the Northern part
Of the county, where Esq. Sylvesta
Alton says the cotton is yet small
for the season. There is no discourage
ing report on any crop-clover, peas,
sweet potatoes, etc., all having favor
able conditions and making good
showings. II the boil weevil does not
hit US too hard and the general con-
dition does not materially improve
sufficiently to lower the price Of the
staple, Henderson county farmers are
going to be in luck this fall, for the
cotton acreage seems to be fully up
to the biggest estimate yet made.

BASE BALL.

Lexington had so many ball games
last week that it is hard to recall just
how they all finished-but we do
know that Parsons beat US Tuesday
by score Of Is to IL and then on
Wednesday we beat them by a good
score. Then comes along Murray, Ky,
with that salaried team-part of it.
We beat them on the first day,
Thursday by score Of to l, and on
Friday they beat us 6 to 8. Satur-
days game ended in a squabble
in the last half of the ninth inning
when Lexington began to pound the
Murray pitcher to the extent Of four
scores, enough to tie the game. MUIR
ray claimed bad decisions on the part
of umpire who ordered one Of their
players to get out of the game and
upon the failures Of the managers to
make him get out, Umpire Keeton
quit the game. Later a decision Of
Umpire Drake was not necessary and
was never made when two runners
went over home plate on a caught
foul in the left field and an error in
thrown ball to catcher Tanning.
We regret the occurrence and that
such an outcome be made out Of
what looked like a fine series Of
Of games-but such is life.

Mr.. SIMS WITHDRAWS
FROM RACE FOR SENATOR.

Former Congressman T. W. Sims,
who has been in the race for the Dem
ocratic nomination for the United
States Senate, has withdrawn from
the contest, his card to that effect ap-
pearng in the daily press Of last Sat
urday. While we believe Mr.. Sims to
be far superior of the other gentle
men in the race and regret the nec-
essity for his withdrawal, we can see
that the one thing necessary to put
his views before the people without
the expenditure Of fortune, he could
not get--access to the columns of the
state daily papers. The daily papers
have become nothing more than per-
sonal organs for certain candidates
and have given Mr.. Sims nothing like
the fair treatment he or any other
man Of his standing should have been
given as a candidate. We regret that
the honorable name of Mr.. Sims will
not appear on the primary ballot, but
we are willing to abide by his judg-
ment in the matter.

THE STRIKE OF r. r.
SHOPMEN STILL ON.

The strike of the railroad shopmen
is still on, but the papers have spoken
of possibility Of agreement between
the workers and the railroads if the
matters of overtime and seniority can
be gotten out of the way-and they
will be gotten out of the way.
The railroads are contending that
they must stick to the new men who
have accepted jobs, while the workers
demand reinstatement to the last
man il adjustment comes. We believe
that it was the Memphis News Scim-
itar that has said that the railroads
have always used the strike breakers
so long as necessary and then cast
/ them aside without scruple--in fact,
forced to do so, for the old and eff
cient workers are not going to submit
to loss of their seniority.
Chairman Hooper said several days
ago that his Board had failed to ac-
complish anything-and Jewell, head
Of the shopmen continues to say mo
settlement until the right settlement
can be had"

RANK INJUSTICE TO LEXING-
TON.

The Nashville Tennessean in a pub
lication last Saturday did rank injes-
tice to Lexington, when it said, in
connection with the arrest of one man
and the escape of another charged
with an attempted automobile theft:
Both men are from Lexington, Tenn,
recently divulged as a concentration
point for stolen automobiles
for large band Of organized thieves
working in various towns over the
State" But two men have been con-
victed in the Henderson county Cir
cult court, in connection with the au-
tomobile business-and but one Of
them for stealing.
The worst that could ever be said
of Lexington was that perhaps in the
matter of auto stealing it was a
'branch" office of Nashville-and
there has never been bank robbery
in Lexington, an enterprise not un-
known in Nashville. Neither has any
official of Lexington or Henderson
county ever been accused of auto
stealing.
The truth of the business is that
any pulling thief in Nashville, who
gives Is ounces or less for a pound or
S5 inches or less for a yard; or any
Nashville dealer who advertises suits
of clothes for men or women Worth
$27.50 but on sale at $l4.9S" is lower
down in the scale of thievery and ly-
ing than any crook who ever ran a
stolen automobile into or out of Lex
ington.
With all this, The Progress wishes
that every thief of any and all sorts,
might be caught, convicted and pen
ned-including the men who lie and
steal through newspaper advertising.
