Washington, June l-t. ?President Roosevelt this fternoon sent a special messige t Congress re commending immediate action for the relief of Culm The President qnoted a cablegram from Prosi dent Pnlmn, asking that something l>u d >no before the industries of tin* island were ruined. Roosevelt urged that it is the duty of this country to give Cu'ta special consideration m tariff matters, and advised generat reciprocity arrangements, lie says wo owe a duty to the republic we have established and .-avs let us finish generously tht; worn we have so nobly begun, lie says an economic concession would {benefit us as well as Cuba. The.proposed action is in line with the course pursued towares Porto Rico, Hawaii am (be Philiplnes. Washington, .June 13.?The crisis in the Cuban reciprocity tight was cirried to the last ditch this morning when the conciliation committee consisting of three senators, representing the administration, and three senators for the beet sug.tr insurgents, met to see if a compromise legislation could he leached. The administration enters the tight at a disadvantage through the revelations that Genera! Wood, while military governor of t'u'm nad contributed several thousand dollars to tho light being made on behalf of ie~ ciprocity. Die situation is embarrassing from a political standpoint, hut Roosevelt is determined to tight his wax through. ? ??ur? <\ f> mm - The Moore Case The Case of a Rroker in the City . of Spartanburg, S. C. While the I'nited States circuit court of appeals hasgr- nted anew trial in the < as > of Parker & Co., cotton brokers of New York, and \V. A. Moore, of Spartanburg, S. J., it sustains Judge Sirnonton in ho chief points of interest to doaliis in futures and brokers. Moore bought 2,000 bales of cotton. He had been dealing with Parker. & Co. for years. Tho marvet fell. Moore told them to procct him and he would pay. They lid up to the extent of '$10,000, tnd, as Moore did not respond, nrned loose and Moore wouldn't my,because,ho said, they had not ollowcd instructions. They sued. \s dealing m futures is gambling ?- o inder South Carolina laws, and a ;amhling debt cannot be collected, l"ndge Simonton instructed the 11 ry to linil for the defendant. Th e court of appoals sustains lodge Simonton in holding that n this caso the South Carolina law md not that of New York conrols. The court holds that Judge O i simonton should have let the case jo to the jury, as to ore was some ividence upon the question of vhether Moore was speculating; Jso, as to whether Parker & Co. tad reason to know that ho was. Under the New York law Moore vonld have, without doubt, been iahle. It will probably require an iqpeal to the United States sulreine court to determine what'the South Carolina statue actually neans ?whether knowledge or tick of knowledge on the part of he broker of the intentions of a uistoiuer plays any part in the iroceedin<*s.?News and Conner.

Hard oq Josh Tillman keiuus Him Only us one of his Cuiriage Horses, The boys are tellings now story on the Hon. .Josh Ashley. The story may or may not bo true, but it is n good one nevertheless. Away hnek iti the howling days of ten or twenty years ago Mr. j Ashley was a violent Tilluianite j On one occasion when Mr. Till | man came to Andersen, Mr. * Ash ; ley and some more of the hoys 1 met him at the depot with a car ! riage. After Mr. Tillmau bail I . t'aUc.i his neat in the vehicle the i crowd iftihitclied the horses, and, attaching themselves instead, pulled our noble leader uptawu to the hotel, shouting and waving thoir bats, and nc-r<piring and enjoying ! themselves immensely. All this ' is a natter of history*. But times have changed since then and Mr. Ashley is not a Tillmanite any 1 more. The other day, so the story gees, Senator Tillman and a drummer met on the train aud fell to talking as men will do. In the course of their conversation the drrmmer remarked: "Senator, they tell mo your old friend .Josh Ashley doesn't think | as much of you as ho used to do. "Ashley?" asked the senator in a puzzled sort of way. "Ashley? Who is Ashley?" ; "Why, don't you know?" snid A K _ 1 ? / ? * i CAVt UVI I il(/l iwii, ?TIIV 1 lllin <711 IIIO C. & N-\V. asexpre s messenger, was painfully hurl by a trunk falling on him. lie was taken otT at Gastonia and Transfer Clerk Wilhamer of that place took his place.

Oh, yes, 1 remember : now, "ho finally said, brightening up "1 remember that fellow now. 1 drove him to my carriage once when I visited Anderson." Some of the boys told this on Mr. Ashley in his presence the other day, and he tried to laugh at I it, but a sickly little grin was all ho could muster.?Florence Times 'hree Churches struck.
