National Capital
Pho President bends a Special I
Message to Congress Urging
(tcnerous Dealing WithCuha
in The Matter of Tariff Reduction*.
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

to himself, pondering deeply.
"Ashley! 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
