H _A1902. -4 PUBLISHED WEEKLY. WINNSBORO,S.C.,WED _ __1 ' outhern Railway Excursio- I CUBA GASPS While the United States Grasps Bishop Candler's Plea for the Island. Bishop Warren A. Candler thus writes for the Atlanta Jour nal from Cienfuegos, Cuba: If the well nigh unanimous judgment of all intelligent ob servers in the island way be ac cepted as correct, the situation in Cuba urgently requires im mediate relief by the reduction of the duties now imposed on Cuban products imported into the United States. If there is any. body who dissents from this view I have not met him since coming here, although 1 have talked with* men of all classes foreign and native, from Havana to Cienfuegos. The condition of congestion and stagnation may be inferred Lrom a single statement which is taker from a local newspaper in Havana and which is doubtless exact. Tais journal declares that there are now 250,C00 bags of sugar it the warehouses of Havana, ag against 83,000 at the same time last year, and that at that pori the exports to date amount tc no more than 43,000 bags. The tobacco interest suffers similarly but perhaps not altogether as badly. Sorie claim that it suf fers even worse ihan the sugar interest. A protective tariff at its besi is an expression of national sel fishness and commercial coward ice, but in this case, when al) the history, of our relation tc . Cuba is taken into account, it does not fall short of being posi tivelv infamous. We forced upon Cuba our de mand that the United States exercise supervision of ~f 3 g'{e powEP>rs. O -~~-~ T ~~vr a one nob .alone Z-dieLL rpD an eye on commerciail treaties as well. Now, with this power o. supervision in our hands, w binder Cuba's trade with others while with our 'tariff laws w( almost forbid trade with our selves. 'i he case of the dog ii the manger is scarcely as bad a this, for he did get a bed fron the straw he could not eat. W get nothing from folly and mean ness-not a straw. When Gene ral Weyler adopted his policy c reconcentration in Cuba a America burned with indigno tion. But the tendency of ou tariff on Cuban products is t mak hie whole island a canmp c recon entrados. With this cot gestion of produc-ts brought t pr,by our prohibitory dutiE we mak~e the planting of cane an tobacco unprofitable and imposs ble, and while thus running t * agriculturist we overthrow t bankers who have made aivance on the crops already.. Our policy if p)ersisted i: 'theeore, tuust inevitably bla both urban and rural prosperit And this we do for a people ( behalf of whose liberty we we to war, offering up for the liberation a sacrifice of preciol lives and imnmense t,reasure. W *we allow that chapter of .o nationa'l history, which for a t semed like a chapter of int nationlal chivalry, to be dimmn by the continuance of a pohey~ eruel to the Cubans as it is d - reditable to us?. 31ultitudeS have been ind3 eiant at the attempts made blacken the records of galL nen of the navy. Will we all the honoir of the whole natiwa 1.e stained in order to gratify Oxnard and his associates? C aLssuances have been given n,nkind that our motives in intervention in Cuba are selfi-1h impulses of human: shall these professions be bel on the first temptation, and t too on a templtatwOn so small? He-re is a little islandl havn: sre'a!'er area than that of Geo1 by 10,000 square miles and I injg a less population than G gia by above 500,000 souls. tour o>f the six provinces proc sugar or tobacco in any con erable quantity. Now is it ridiculous for the entire si nad tobacco interests of a g contrv to fall into paroxysnl fear becaus four little provi of one little island are grant fair chance to sell their products in the United States? And the matter will appear still more ridiculous when it is remembered that we do not pro duce in the United States more than a fracton-a very, vulgar fraction-of the sugar which the country consumes. This means that our protective tariff lays tribute upon all the people of the United States and at the same time deals Cuba a stagger ing blow-all in the interest of a 1 small number of people engaged I in the sugar business-mostly in the beet sugar business. Mr. Dooley's proposal of the beet as I our national flower is amply justi fied by this extraordinary par tiality which we manifest for its producers. If this partiality is to be perpetuated the proposal of Mr. Dooley should be adopted forthwith. But Mr. Oxuard seems to have misgivings about t the permanence of our fondness and makes hay while the sun shines. A press dispatch from New York printed in one of the t Havana papers informs the Cubans "that it has becoue known here that Mr. Oxnard, thAE president of the Beet Growers' association, has just closed con- c tracts for the supply of beet sugar which extend over the next t five years." This is the way this infant industry takes care of itself while bawling for pap from the public purse. When it gets grown there is no saying what it will dare propose. Now it would strangle Cuba; then perhaps it will undertake to choke the western world. Of course this economic ques tion affects every other issue in Cuba. Educational, 'social, moral and religious interests must all be influenced when the very necessaries of life by which the saved from perishing ment above $2;000, b';-'- * nually spent on public education. When Cuba's own government is set up it will be dificult to main tain the schools now in existence even under the most favorable conditions. But if the present tariff rates are to be maintained by our government these schools must die ,outright for lack of funds to sustain them. Is the - light of intelligence to be extin guished that the profits of the growers of beets may be in creased? Is this a proposal of ivilized men or of barbarians? The pira e ;OiTa p coaid hardly have done worse by the crafts which they overhauled. This language may seem strong; Sbut it is not stronger than the acase demands as I see it revealed Sbefore my eyes here in Cienfue e os-Cui>a's great southern sugar port. The protectionists seem Sto have put both mercy and jus tice behind them. They seem to hve nio heart for anything but tg id.

ROV MIM. aosse..se -u How Elen. Jenkins Was Killed. Gen. Micah Jenkins was killed by our own men at the Wilderness on the 6th day of May, 18640 not far from where Stonewall Jackson was mortally wounded after the battle of Chancellorsville in 1863. Gen.Longstreet was bady wounded by the volleyr that killed Jenkins, which was fird through mistake at the Twelfth Virginia r i by their comrades of DMahone's bri ownTlankroad were moving the Plnk o at a critical moment of the battle, Y Jenkins' brigade by the road and h Kershaw's division alongside. 11 Gen. Longstreet roadat the hea 1. of the column, accompanied b t- Jenkins and Kershaw, and after s, discusSing the proposed disp"si n tion of their troops for reopening es battle, Jenkins.:rpde e Longstreet a me mont bu cause for but th am now relieveu, assured - re that we will put the enemy back ee acrnss the Rapidlan before night." ,- These were the last words he ever )al spoke. The Twelfth Virginia had tcr been in advance, and was return d. ing to its place across the Plank ,re road when the other regiments of to the brigade opened fire, believing it was an advance of the enemy. rds The Virginians threw themselves e. to the ground in order to let the Lny fire pass over them, when the ay group of otiicers rode into the line of fire, and Jenkins fell mor taliy wounded.. Longstreet was struck with a iminia -ball, which ely pased through his throat and ons right shoulder. Capt. Alfred ut Doby, of Kershaw's staff, and an ca orderly named Bowen were killed of instantly. ii These facts are stated because itd so many errors have been pub nly lished recently in regard to Gen. ye. Jenkins, growing out of the prom inence given to his son in an in ciden-t due to the unfortunate - of conduct of others. Gen. Jenkins om- held the rank of brigadier genera~ which he received for gallant and meritorious coZ.duct at Seven last Pines, Gaines' Mill and Frazier's tion Farm in 1862.
