CARTERSVIELK. GEORGIA. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1900.
official news has been received at
St. Petersburg confirming the re- ‘
port that neither the emperor nor
the empress will return to Pekin
until the foreign troops have left
Chinese territory.
A special to the Lokel Anzeiger
from Pekin says the emperor and
empress have sepa: ated and that
the former is now located in Ta
Tung. Other dispatches say the
Germans took the Lu Tay fous
without serious resistance.
Motive: Money Not Philanthropy.
In the absurd publications with !
which comp rcss owners fill certain
southern papers they fail to inform
the public that their motive is not
philanthropy but dollars. Long
accustomed to make big profits out
of the necessity of reducing the old
bale’s size by a second compression,
they have come to believe that cot
ton is grown in order that it may
be compressed, The farmer, how
ever, and( e ■ not labor early and late
merely to provide a fat living for a
privileged class. He sells his cot
ton to the man who will give him
the most money, and he has it bal
ed in the way that will cost him
the least. If he is in reach of a
Roundlap bale plant, he hauls his
cotton there because he knows
that by having it put in Roundlap
bales the burlap covering used will
cost him about 50 cents per bale
less than bagging and ties, and
that his cotton not needing to be
recompressed, will sell for a pre
mium more than sufficient to pay
the baling charge. He knows, too,
that if the time should ever come
when’t will not pay- him to have
his cotton put.up in Roundlap bales
he can have it baled some other
way that will pay him.

COO'S WORD
TOLD THEM.
Hearts of the Sorrowing People of
Galveston Find Comfort in it.
STRENGTH TO THE WEAK-
Inspired to Better Thlnsrs and to
Rebuild the City on a
Grander Scale.
New Orleans, Sept 23. —A spec
ial from Galveston says:
No church bells called the wor
shipers to the temples today; no
organs pealed the sacred hymns;
strange faces looked down from
many pulpits, but the word of God
was told.
Buildings that had been used as
morgues,structures that a few days
ago sheltered the injured and dying
were today inhibited by the follow
ers of Christ and many a mother
who had lost a son, many 7 a man
whose family had been so sudden
ly swept from him on that awful
night, gathered in these places and
there upon bended knee, fervently
prayed that the souls of their dead
might rest in peace.
And when the benediction had
been pronounced ani the people
filed through the narrow passage
ways and out on the streets, the
very trees seemed to bow their
heads in sympathy and all human
ity was at peace with one another.
Scarcely a minister that did not
have for his text the storm and its
lesson. The words from the pul
pit carried comfort to the hearts of
many 7 , inspired them to better
things, gave strength to the weak
and courage to rebuild on grander
scales.
funeral pyres.
While there were many persons
at prayer there were others dispos
ing of the dead. Funeral pyres
blazed on all sides. Fanned by a
brisk southerniy wind the names
leaped heavenward and cast their
lurid shadows on the sky.
Iu all about forty bodies were
taken from the ruins today.
Tomorrow it is estimated 2,500
men will be at work on the steets
clearing the wreckage. Thirty
days will be required to do the
work.
The plan to erect homes for
those who lost everything by the
storm, so earnestly advocated
by Miss Barton, of the Red Cross
Society, is meeting with every en
couragement. A large fund is to
be raised for this purpose to be dis
bursed by direction of Miss Barton.
Five hundred and seventy-six per
sons were treated at the emergency
hospitals today. Many serious
cases are reported and several
deaths are likely to result.
Two of the city banks were open
today, cashing script lor city labor
ers employed in cleaning street
wreckage. There were many vis
itors in the city today, among the
number being Paul B. Moore, of
Jefferson City, Mo., private secre
tary of Gov. Stephens, of that
state. Mr. Moore was accompanied
by Curtis G and Joseph L. Ste
phens, of St. Louis,j sons of Gov.
Stephens.

FEARS CUBA’S FUTURE-
Gen. Fitzhush Le* Says All Depends
on the November Elections,
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, who has re
turned from Cuba on a leave of ab
sence, is in Washington. Speak
ing to a correspondent for the
Chicago Chronicle of the situation
in Cuba, he said:
"The Cubans have held their lo
cal elections preliminary to the es
tablishment of a government for
the island and will meet in conven
tion Nov. 5 to provide for the ma
chinery of government.
"The ‘rev > ufiunary party,’
which has been largely successful
in the recent elections, desires im
mediate i .dependan e, without any
sort of protectorate, control or su
pervision by the United States, and
the immediate withdrawal of the
American troops. The more con
servative people, merchants and
business men, many of whom are
Spanish, and the Cubans of some
wealth and substantial business in
terests, together with the foreign
ers, of whom there are many of
different nationalities, desire con
tinuance of the supervision of the
United States.
MIGHT CAUSE SERIOUS COMPLICA
TIONS.
"The United States undertook
the responsibility for the establish
ment of a stable form of govern
ment and is pledged to the protec
tion of the British, German,French
and other foreign subjects residing
and doing business in Cuba. If
the Cubans form an entirely inde
pendent government, rejecting all
supervision or control by the Uni
ted States, and the United States,
acquiescing, withdraws its troops,
relinquishing all authority, a ques
tion arises as to the guaranteed
protection of foreign interests. If
any disorder should arise and for
eign subjects should be injured and
foreign interests suffer, all respon
sibility being abandoned by the
United States, the power whose
subjects were injured or whose in
terests were threatened would un
doubtedly send war vessels, per
haps many of them, to the ports of
Cuba to insure the protection
which we no longer gave and to
compel reparation if injury had

this would mean.
island’s fate in doubt.
‘‘l do not know what this gov
ernment will do if a government
which rejects all connection w 7 ith
the United States is organized and
the withdrawal of our troops de
manded. It may be, if there is
plain indication of disorder or in
ability on the part of the newly
formed government to preserve or
der and to protect foreigners, that
we will retain troops on the island
for the purpose of protection until
the stability of the new govern
ment is assured.”
As to the constitutional conven
tion he said: "Everything in con
nection with it is problematical and
experimental. If the Cubans can
frame a constitution and prove
their ability to govern themselves
so well and so good; but if they
can’t do this for themselves —well,
then somebody will have to do it
for them.”
"General, do you anticipate any
trouble in Cuba?” he was asked.
“Quien sabe?” he answered evas
ively, with a-shake of his head.
“That’s Spanish for‘Who know 7 s?’ ”
