Will be Admitted as a Territory and Ultimate Statehood Prom? ised. Cabans WU! be Granted Full Right of Citizenship Enjoyed by Residents of Other Territories. "Washington, Feb. 5.-Representative Newlands of the ways and means com? mittee, who was the author of the resolution annexing Hawaii, today in ?I troduced a joint resolution inviting fe the republic of Cuba to become a part I ' of the United States, first as a terri i tory, and then as a State of the union, ; to bo called the State of Cuba ; also H authorizing a 25 per cent reduction cf I duty on the present crop of Cuban ?. sugar, in consideration of Cuba's granting preferential rates to the United States. The resolutions con? f?nele 25 per ont. reduction of duties If to tho period prior to January 1, 1903. The provision as: to annexation is as & follows: "That in the meantime the republic |r-of Cuba is invited to become a part of 1 the United States of America, and her people to become citizens of the United States vwith the assurance Bphat ?nba will be; entitled at first to jgl a territorial forai'of government under the c?iistitufe??u .. and laws of the p United States; > with a. delegate in congress to represent the people, Hand that ultimate Statehood will be granted whenf: 'in' the- judgment of the congress, it is advisable to admit Cuba^. inclnding such other West $: India islands belonging to the United h States as may be ? deemed advisable, as a single State' in'th? union, to be cail B?d the State of Cnba. ' ' Mr. Newlands, in explanation of : his resolution, said : , 4'Ali'those wiro nave appeared to F ; voice Cuba's needs and requirements %!, ?ave indicated that an invitation to Cuba of annexation would be accepted. ~ "Armexation.^y fo?ce would not be justified. It Aust be accomplished, if at ail, by th? ?ree act of the Cuban . people. At present "there is norna ?r ?bineiy in Ctfba by which the popular i; will can be testesd. But the Cuban con? stitution has been adopted. The Cu? ban congress will meet in February, Cuban .government will be organized, ~ the United States will then leave )vernment and control of the island it? people. Cuba then will be in a ition to express her will, and it is ily necessary to tide over the pres it emergency by a temporary meas sneh as I .nave introduced, re tcing^the duty-on Cuban sugar one >urth for one year and inviting Cuba become a part of the United States tder a territorial form of government, tder the constitution, her people to citizens not ' subjects, with the trance that ; ultimately Statehood ll be granted^" Not a Force Bill at All. Washington, February 5.-Repre Isentative Cruinpacker, of Indiana, au? thor of the resolution presented to the Republican caucus on Monday night and tojbe further considered at a cau? cus next Monday* night, authorizes K?fche following statement as to the gen? eral purposes of the movement to cor BBpect any impression that it is ir. z'zs nature of a force bill : ?Kr " The -resolution submitted to the p caucus was designed to secure a full I and thorough investigation of the suffrage question, not only in thg South, but in all the States that have imposed material restictions upon manhood suffage. There is a general belief that a number of States have disfranchised a larges portion of their citizens; that the colored population, by the operation of State laws, is en? tirely eliminated as a political quanti? ty, and yet it counts in apportioning representation among the Statse. It is the general belief that the Southern States have at lesat thirty-five Repre-" sentativres in the House and the Elec? toral College resling upon fictitious basis. If this be found to be true in fact and representation be reduced ac? cordingly, as the constitution impera? tively requires, it would go a long way ??I toward settling the race question. Such a method would have none of I the characteristics of a force bill. It I would require nb force for its execu v tion. Disfranchising States would suffer a reduction of political power, which they could regain by educating their citizens and admitting them to the privileges of the ballot. The whole question would rest with those States. " Li?t the caucus is asked simply to authorize a thorough investigation of the whole question through a Con? gressional committee specially ap? pointed and equipped for that pur? pose, and when the facts, as they real? ly dxist, are laid before Congress and - the country such action may be taken ".as i e situation requires."

Women the Educators. ?| Dr. Charles D. Mciver in Southern ?'arm Magazine of ^altimore for Febru? ary : \Vhen we educate a man we educate an individual, but when we educate a mother we educate a family. Women necessarily propagate whatever edu? cation they have. No State or coun? try which" will educate its mothers need have any fears about its future illiteracy except from immigration. An educated man may be the father of illiterate children, but the children of educated women are never illite? rate. Outside of the cities probably three-fourths of kthe educated women spend a part of each day educating their own children or the children of others, whereas three-fourths of the educated men spend a very short time daily with their own children, to say nothing of educating them. AH UGLY REVELATION. Services of an American Official Offered to Great Britain in the War on the Boers. London, February 4.-In th? house of Commons last evening Major Arthur Lee, Conservative, formerly British military attache at "Washing? ton, said Great Britain had been offer? ed the services of the chief horse ex? pert of the United States army as an adviser in the purchase of American horses for the British army. The revelation was made during a heated debate on the remount question. The whole debate on this question in the House of Commons causes wide pread indignation, which is as evident among the strongest supporters of the Government as among the members of the Opposition. The Ministerial press vigorously charges the war office with absolute incomeptency, if nothing worse, and demands a searching inquiry. THE STATEMENT DENIED. Washington, February 4.-Gen. Cor? bin was questioned today in regard to Col. Lee's statement in Parliament about having been offered the services of the chief horse expert of the United States 'army in securing horses in this country for South Africa, and said that this was the first time he (Cor? bin) had heard of it. What he did know as a fact was that there had been i no correspondence on the part of the Adjutant General's office with Col. Lee or any one else to warrant the statement that the United States had assisted the British operations in South Africa by the shipment of horses or any other way. Moreover, Gen. Corbin said, he did not know what was meant by the expression "chief horse expert," there being no such office in the United States mili? tary service. It is suggested that Col. Lee referred to one of the large army contractors who supply the United States cavalry with mounts. THE BOERS' LAST GUN. Lord Kitchener Again Reports its Capture-There May fae Other "Last Guns" Yet to be Found. London, February 5.-The British pursuit of Gen. De Wet has been suc? cessful to the extent that his last gun has been captured and Commandant Wessels, one of his principal lieuten? ants, has been routed. Lord Kitchen? er sent the news in a dispatch from Pretoria, dated Tuesday, Februaary 4, as follows : "Byng-s column, while proceeding towards Liebenburgvlei, after a night march, attacked and routed a consid? erable force of the enemy under Com? mandant Wessels. We captured a fif teen:pounder and a pompom, taken from Firman's column, and also a Boer pompom, that was the last gun that De Wet had, and three wagons of ammunition, 150 horses and 100 mules. The Boers' casualties were five men killed, six wounded and twenty-seven captured." Lord Kitchener has sent the follow? ing message from Pretoria: "Major Leader's force surprised De Lary's i commando, killing seven and captur? ing 117. The British casualties were slight: no British were killed." SHREDDING CORN. -'? The modern method of harvesting corn has not been generally adopted yet in any portion of the South. Wasteful methods that have always prevailed, and are still practiced. The blades are sometimes stripped from the stalks by hand and cured for fod? der, but experience has shown that this fodder does not pay for the labor of gathering and curing. The ears are snatched from the stalks, thrown in small heaps, and afterwards a wagon comes along and the ears picked up, thrown into the wagon and hauled away. The other half of the crop is left to bravo the weather and be con? sumed by wind and rain : and if any part of it remains when plowing time comes it is piled and burned to the detriment of the soil. The modern I way is to reap the corn, as well as the wheat, and in much the same manner, the machine cutting the stalks and tying in bundles, ready to be set up in shocks. The ears may be separated at any time husked and shelled, or the husking and shelling can be done as needed. The stalks, entire, may be cured and stacked and makes excellent fodder.^ Or the whole batch.can be run through a shredder and mace into hay, when it will be eaten up clean by the stock. One reason for not saving the stalks is that there is not live stock enough on the farm to consume1 it. This is another piece of bad management. There ought to be stock enough on the farm to consume all of this product. There is where the farmer's profit should come from. Another Railroad for Charleston. "There is a strong probability of the Carolina Northern railroad being extended from Lumberton to Fayette? ville. I get this information from E. K. Proctor, Jr., of Lumberton, gen? eral counsel for the road, who arrived her? today from Philadelphia, where he went to confer with the majority stockholders. This road is now in operation from Lumberton to Marion, S. C., a distance of 45 miles. Mr. j Proctor tells me that the road is to be I built at once to Charleston. S. C., a j distance of 110 miles. Work will be gin within 00 days. It is the desire of the owners of this road to build an e intension to Fayetteville, which would give a direct |route to Charles? ton. "-Washington correspondent Ral? eigh Post. The Las" Heard of lt. "My little hoy took the croup one night and soon grew so bad you cornel hepr him breathe all over fhe house.*' says F D Rey? nolds, Mansfield. O. "We feared he would die, but a few doses of One Minute Cough Cure quickly relieved him and he went to steep. Th?t's the last we heard of the croup. Now isn't a cough cure like that valuable?" One Minute Cough Cure is absolutely safe and acts immediately. For coughs, colds, croup, grip, bronchitis and all other throat and lung troubles it is a certain care. Very pleasant to take.

Little Rock, Ark., Feb. 5.-The town of Clarksville, Johnson county, is greatly excited over a bold and successful bank robbery which oc? curred early today when the vault of the Bank of Clarksville was dyna? mited and looted by five or six men. Sheriff John H. Powers was shot and killed by the robbers while attempting to frustrate their designs. The exact amount secured by the robbers is not known, but it is supposed to be be? tween $1,000 and S2,000. Sheriff Pow? ers, who roomed in a building adjoining that of the bank was awakened short? ly before 3 o'clock by a terrific explo? sion in the bank. Seizing a pistol in each hand he rushed to the bank. The robbers, who numbered five or six, were evidently prepared for him, as they opened fire the moment he ap? peared. The officer was wounded at the first volley but stood his ground and returned the fire, sending half a dozen bullets at the robbers. The wounded sheriff managed to get back to his room where he died within 20 minutes. When hastily aroused citi? zens began arriving at the scene, Powers was dead and the robbers had vanished. The interior of the bank presented a wrecked appearance, the men having used dynamite to break open the vault door, having established a guard arm? ed with Winchesters outside the bank, they seemingly had anticipated inter? ference from the sheriff as they must have known of his presence nearby. A train of blood leading from the bank is construed to mean that Powers injured one or more of the robbers. He was shot three times himself and any one of the wounds would have proven fatal. Gov. Davis tonight offered a reward of So,OOO for the arrest and conviction of the bank robbers and the Arkansas Bankers' association offered a similar reward of $5,000. These offers will be supplemented * by additional rewards by the people of Clarksville. A vigorous search is being made for the fugitives, but it is believed they have escaped into the mountains. Saved Him From Torture. There is no more agonizing trouble than piles. The constant itching and burning make life intolerable. No posi? tion is comfortable. The torture is un? ceasing. Dewitt's Witch Hazel Salve cures piles at once. For skin diseases, cuts, burns, bruises, all kinds of wounds it is unequalled. J S Gerall, St Paul, Ark. says: "From 1865 I suffered with the pro? truding, bleeding piles and could find nothing to help me until I used Dewitt's Witch Hazel Salve. A few boxes com pletely cured me." Beware o? counter? feits. J S Hughson & Co. William Allen White's recent attack of nervous prostration has been ac? counted for. He had started to write a sketch of Senator Tillman.-Atlanta Journal. Dr. George Eitel, of Chanhassen, Minn., who has just taken a medical degree at Berlin university, has al? ready had diplomas from the Universi? ties of Minnesota, Oregon, California, Pennsylvania, Washington,"Idaho and Montana. He probably holds the rec? ord in the medical profession. In Berlin he was bantered by the press, which hoped that before long he would be able to celebrate his silver jubilee on the passing of his -iwenty-fiftfh examination. The Rev. W. L. Morris, of White City, Kans., is trying to build a church by means of the letter chain plan. He asks a contribution of 5 cents from each recipient of a letter, and he requests each recipient to for? ward a similar request to three friends. "A t the end of the hundredth series," says the preacher "I ask that con? tributions shall cease." Of course, the scheme will 4'fall down" before it goes very far. Bat if it didn't Mr. Morris wrould find himself in possession of the snug little sum of $965,424,542, 600,897.887,721,489,794. - - -H?^>-. mm Something That Will Do You Good We kuow of no way in which we can be of more service to our readers than to tell them of something that will be of real good to them. For this reason we want to acquaint them with what we consider one of the very best remedies on the market for coughs, colds, and that alarm? ing complaint, croup. We refer to Cham berlaia's Cough Remedy. We have used it with such good results in our family so loug that it has become a household nec? essity. By its prompt use we haven't arty doubt but that it has time and again pre vented croup. The testimony is given upon our own experience, and we suggest that our reader, especially those who have small children, always keep it in their homes as a safeguard against croup. Camden (S C) Messenger. For sale by Dr A J China. Columbus, Ohio, February 6.-Gov? ernor Nash has refused to honor the requisition of the Governor of North Carolina for W. C. Baumgartner, who was arrested here several days ago upon the request of the police au? thorities of Durham, N. C. lt was charged that Baamgardner had em? bezzled $400 from a Mrs. Freeland, cf that: place. He was released here on habeas corpus proceedings and arrest? ed again on the charge of loitering. The requisition was refused upon a showing that the transaction invested did not amount to embezzlement. The State engineer of New York has prepared plans for a system of high? ways to cover the entire State and to cost 820,000,000. The State is to be asked to advance the whole amount, one-half of which is to be reimbursed, the counties paying seven millions and the towns paying three millions. There is great need in the Empire State for such a system of roads. The poverty of the State in that respect was advertised to the world by the I automobile endurance test last au ? tumn. ApBlachian National Park. Washington, February 6.-Senator Pritchard, from the committee on for? est reservations, has presented a writ? ten report on the bill appopriating 85,000,000 for the creation of a na? tional forest reserve in the South Apalachian region, as authorized by j the commitee several days ago. The j report urges the establishment of the reserve for the protection of the timber and the conservation of the waters of the land embraced within its proposed area, placing the damage done bv floods arising in that area in the year 1901 at 815,000,000. It is claimed that the land to be included can be purchased for from 82 to 83 per acre. One point made in support of the bill is that in the Southern Apalachian Mountains there is a greater variety of hard wood trees and greater remnants of the primeval for? ests than in any other territory of like size in the Eastern States. The contention also is made that it has the highest and largest mountains east of the Mississippi, the heaviest rainfall on the continent, exccept along the Northern Pacific coast, and that consequently the washing away of the soils of the region can only be prevented by keeping them covered with forests. "The absence from this region of lakes and gravelly soils, such as abound in the Northern States and there serve to store the rains and give uniformity to the flow of streams," the report continues, "renders the perpetuation of those Southern forests absolutely necessary for the protection of both the soils and:the streams."
