The Lexington Dispatch. Wednesday, November 18,1903. President's Message. Urges Congress to Keep Faith With Cuba. Washington, Nov. 10,1903. To the Senate and House of Representatives: I have convened the congress that it may consider the legislation necessary to put into operation the commercial treaty with Cuba, which was ratified by the senate at its last session, and subsequently by the Cuban t j? ?i government, j. ueem buuu legislation demanded not only by our interest but by our honor. We cannot with propriety abandon the course upon which we have so wisely embarked. When the acceptance of the Piatt amendment was required I from Cuba by the action of the congress of the United States, this government thereby definitely oommited itself to the policy of treating Cuba as occupying an unique position as regards this country. It was provided that when the island became a free and independent republic she should stand in such close relations with as as in certain respects to come within oar system of international policy; and it necessarily followed that she mast slso to a certain degree become included within the lines of our economic policy. Situated as Caba is, it woald not. be possible for this country to permit the strategic abuse of the island by any foreign military power. It is for this reason that certain limitations have been imposed upon her financial policy and that naval stations have been conceded by, her to the United States. The negotiations as to the details of these naval stations are on the eve of completion. They are so situated as to prevent any idea that there is the intention ever to use them against Cuba, or otherwise than for the protection of Cuba from the assults of foreign foes, and for the better safeguarding of American interests ia the waters south of us. These interests have been largely increased by the consequences of the war with Spain, and will be still furthof inAnMBiwl Kv fhfl hniidina of the isthmian canal. They are both military and economic. The granting to nse by Caba of the naval stations above alluded to is of the utmost importance from a military standpoint, and is proof of the good faith with which Cuba is treating us. Cuba has made great progress since her independence was established. She 'has advanced steadily in every way. She already stands high among her sister republics of the new world. She is loyally observing her obligations to ub; and she is entitled to like treatment by us. The treaty submittted to you for approval secures to the United States economic advantages as great as those given to Cuba. Not an American interest is sacrified. By the treaty, a large Cuban market is secured to our producers. It is a market which lies at our doors, which is already large, which is capable of great expansion and which is especially important to the development of our export trade. It would be indeed short-sighted for ub to refuse to take advantage of such an opportunity, and to force Cuba into making arrangements with other countries to our disadvantage. This reciprocity treaty stands by itself. It is demanded on consideration of broad national policy as well as by our economic interest. It will do harm to no industry. It will benefit many industries. It is in the interest of our people as a whole, both because of its importance from the broad standpoint of international *?wr.U/?T7 onrl hononsfl pr?nnnmif?all v it $ HUU VWVMMMW ? intimately concerns us to develop and secure the rich Cuban market for our farmers, artisans, merchants and manufacturers. Finally, it is desirable as a guaranty of the good faith of our nation towards her young sister republic to the south, whose welfare must ever be closely bound With ours. We gave her liberty. We are knit to her by the memories of the blood and the courage of our soldiers who fought for her in war; by the memories of the wisdom and integrity of our rd" Akin ivS miniatrators who served her in peace aod who started her so well on the difficult path of self-government. We must help her onward and upward; and in helping her we shall help ourselves. The foregoing constructions caused the negotiation of the treaty with Cuba and its ratification by the senate. They now with equal force support the legislation by the congress which by the terms of the treaty is necessary to render it operative. A failure to enact such legislation would come perilously near a repudiation of the pledged faith of the nation. I transmit herewith the treaty as amended by- the Senate and ratified by the Cuban government. Theodore Roosevelt. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is Pleasant to Take. The finest quality of granulated loaf sugar is used in the manufacture of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, and the roots used in its preparation give it a flavor similar to maple syrup, making it quite pleasant to take. Mr. W. L. Roderick, of Poolesville, Md, in speaking of this remedy, says: "I have used Chamberlain's Cough Bemedy with my children for several years and can truthfully say it is the best preparation of the kind I know of. The ohildren like to take it and it has no injurious after effect. For sale by The Kaufmann Drug Co. Bertie's Presence of Mind. When Fanner Reynolds espied young Bertie Thompson industriously collecting the apples from the topmost branches of his best tree he I stole baok to the farm house and unK hitched the stuffed image of Pongo, his greatly mourned sheep dog, from the parlor sideboard, says Tit-Bits. And' 'lo! in a few minutes the stuffed dog had been placed at the foot of the tree. Farmer Reynolds then proceeded with the business of the farm, and the men wondered why every now and then he chucked mightily. An hour went by, and behold! Farmer Reynolds was once more at the foot of the tree. "Hello, Bertie, lad!" he cried. "What ye doin' up my tree, eh?" Bertie was pale and quivering with fright; but he had not altogether lost his presence of mind. "P-Please, sir," he shivered, "that great, big dog down there," pointing to the well-preserved Pongo, "he chased me, he did, all over yonder medder, an,?an' I 'ad to climb this tree to get out of his way!"

GreeD, the "father of Greater New York" and one of the city's oldest and most remarkable citizens, was shot and instantly killed on the steps of his home, on Park avenue, today by Cornelius M. Williams, a negro who is believed to be insane. The shooting was evidently the outcome of an insane delusion on the part of the negro that Mr. Green had slandered him, for when he was asked why he had committed the murder he replied: "I did it to save my character."

Summit News Letter, November, 11th. Below is a letter which Mr. Irvm Risinger has sent to the Spartanburg Journal for publication. Leesville, S. C, Nov. 4, 1903. Mr. Editor:?I notice through the | newspapers that you claim to have received a letter from one of the "celebrated Tillman Jurors," signed W. I Risinger, and that you published the same. The supposed letter is calculated to do the gentlemen who sat on the Tillman case no little injustice, and it does seem that the press should try and not publish anything unless it knew as to its truthfulness. The was no such juror as W. I. Risinger on the Jas. H. Tillman case, nor is there such a man in Lexington county by that name. As many times as the names of the "celebrated Lexington jury" have been published m the papers, it seems that every ordinary intelligent man should know that there was no such man as W. I. Risinger on the Tillman case, to say nothing of the learned newspaper meD. Would not the press er joy a much greater influence, and doesn't it owe it to its readers that it refrain from publishing any communication or matter of any kind which tend to delude the public? This letter which you claim to have received from one v. the "celebrated Lexington jurors," and published by you has been copied and criticised in many papers throughout this country, and the originator of this letter had thi3 in view at the time. It has served its purpose well, and has greatly misrepresented the gentlemen whosaton the Tillman case, as well as Lexington county. I am the only man by the name of Risinger who sat on this case in question, and I feel it my duty to inform you of these facts, and to say that the W. I. Risinger letter was not written by one of the "celebrated Lexington jurors" as you stated. You will kindlv Tmhlish* this communication in your paper, and I ask that all other paper8 copy, which published the celebrated W. I. Risinger letter. Thanking you in advance for a prompt publication, I am, Respectfully, Irvin Risinger. A Good Name.

Easton, Boerne, Tex. Thousands of people are using these tiny little pills in preference to all others, because they are so pleasant and effectual. They cure biliousness, torpid liver, jaundice, sick headache, constipation, etc. They do not purge and weaken, but cleanse and strengthen. Sold by all druggists. Russians and Chinese. Tien Tain, Nov. 13 ?It is reported here that Russian troops marching towards Shan Hai Kwan encountered a force of Chinese troops and that fighting ensued, the Russians, it is asserted, pretending that the imperial force was a band of Chinese robbers. Altogether over 10,000 imperial troops have crossed the frontier into Manchuria. Cured Constipation. Mrs. B. W. Evans, Clearwater, Ivan., writes: "my hushana lay sick for three months. The doctors said that he had quick consumption. We procured a bottle of Ballard's Horehound Syrup, and it cured him. That was six years ago. Since then we have always kept a bottle in the house. We cannot do without it. For coughs and colds it has no equal." 25c, 50c, 8100. Sold by The Kaufmann Drug Co. The Yellow Fever Becord.
