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.

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

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!"

Andrew XL Green Slain.
New York, Nov. 13 ?Andrew H.
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."

That Famous Letter.
Mr. Irvin Risinger, of Leesville. S. C.,
Denies Writing It.
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.
From personal experience I testify
that De Witt's Little Early Risers
are unequalled as a liver pill. They
are rightly named because they give
strength and energy and do their
work with ease.?W. T. 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
