A WEEKLY NEWSPAPER, PUBLISHED IN THE POLITICAL, SOCIAL AND AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS OF STEWART COUNTY, GEORGIA.
PRESIDENT PALMA'S POL1
CY.
Every utterance of President
Palma in regard to Cuban affairs
since his election has shown that
he has a very clear understanding
of the responsibilities of bis posi¬
tion and the difficulties bis admin¬
istration is likely to encounter.
He says that it is bis policy toad
minister the government economi¬
cally, and suggests that small sala¬
ries be paid officials. He under
stands that there is likely to be
friction over the payment of the
Cuban army of Freedom, but he
does not intend to avoid it by fa
voring the payment of all of the
army’s demands. It is bis purpose
to have the army roll carefully re¬
vised, and when it is found who
are entitled to compensation he
will recommend that short term
bonds, with which to pay the debt,
be issued.
Close observers are of the opin¬
ion that those who led the revolu¬
tionary movement will resent be¬
ing passed over in choosing men
to manage the republic’s affairs.
In their view they are entitled to
the offices, and there is no doubt
they need them for their support,
but, as a matter of fact, they are
not nearly so well qualified for
official duties as are those who
were not active in displaying sym¬
pathy for the cause of the revolu¬
tion. This latter class was com¬
posed of business men and proper¬
ty owners. Their property inter¬
ests led them to assume a position
of neutrality. The leaders of the
revolution have, no doubt, a better
claim to the offices than those who
were apparently indifferent us to
the result of the struggle for inde¬
pendence, but it is for the best in¬
terest of Cuba that they should
not be permitted to get the upper
band, not because they are lacking
in patriotism, but because they
are lacking in qualifications neces¬
sary for successful administration.
What is particularly needed at
this time is conservative action,
and this is much more likely t"
come from those who have proper¬
ty interests than from those who
have little or nothing in the wav
of property at stake.
President Palma expresses the
opinion that the Cuban people
feel grateful to the American peo¬
ple for the fair and honorable way
in which they have been treated.
In a recent interview President
Palma said, “The United States
stands out as r.n honorable nation,
having kept its promises with us,
not from a sense of duty, but be¬
cause it was a pleasure for the
American people to see us have
our independence.” It is certain
that he appreciates what the Uni¬
ted States have done for Cuba. lie
realizes, however, that unless the
United States lend the Cubans a
helping hand by lowering the tar¬
iff' on Cuban sugar, the new repub¬
lic will find it extremely difficult
to establish itself on a firm foun¬
dation. He hopes for a reduction
of thirty-three and a third per
cent, of our tariff on Cuban sugar.
There is no doubt that both san¬
itation and education will have
the strongest kind of support from
him. But he will have to be force
ful and resourceful in order to
make his administration a suc
cess. If he thinks his administra
tion will have smooth sailing along
its entire course be will be disap¬
pointed. He will encounter diffi¬
culties, and lie must overcome
them if the republic is to live and
prosper.—Suv. Morning News.

Whisky am} Snake Hites.
The theory that whisky is an
antidote for snake poison has long
been held and is apparently as
popular as ever. A recent discus¬
sion of this question, however, has
called forth directly conflicting
views which are assorted with
equal confidence. The New York
Times, which is one of the stoutest
advocates of the whisky cure de¬
clares that it “has never failed
when taken in time and can no
longer be regarded as an acciden¬
tal or unscientific cure.
The Times quotes Dr. Loeb, a
famous experimental physiologist,
who contends that death from
snakebite is due to the rapid li¬
quefaction of the nerve substance
and that whisky lias the effect of
preventing or retarding this pro¬
cess.
Whisky is relied upon very gen¬
erally as an antidote for snake
bite both because of the wide¬
spread faith in its accuracy and
because it is usually more readily
• btainable than any other suppos¬
ed cure.
But doctors disagree upon the
merits of whisky as an antidote of
snake poison. Many of .them con¬
sider it effective, while others scoff
at the idea that it does any good.
American Medicine, a journal of
high repute, considers it very im¬
portant to remove this impres¬
sion which is fixed on so many
minds and is utterly fallacious.
This authority adds:
“The discussion of Professor
Matthews’ (not Loeb’s) now theo¬
ry of nerve transmission at the be¬
ginning of the year recalled popu¬
lar attention to this exploded tra¬
dition. It was stated that the ex¬
planation of the saving action of
alcohol in cases of snake bite was
another proof of the truth of the
new theory. There was a display
of scientific terms in' the explana¬
tion that showed it was no mere
reportorial addition for sensation’s
sake. It. therefore seems wise to
repeal that there is not on record
an authenticated case of snake bite
cured by whisky. Plenty of indi¬
viduals bitten while under the in
fluence of liquor have died and
large amounts of alcohol have fail¬
ed to save life in many cases. On¬
ly about one in six of those bitten
by venomous snakes dies. The re¬
maining five are cured by anything
they happen to-liave taken. Stim¬
ulation is excellent, but the giving
of whisky to drunkenness by low¬
ering the resistive vitality lias un¬
doubtedly been a causative factor
in many deaths supposedly from
snake bite that would otherwise,
not have occurred. We are begin
uing to have the aftermath of the
pseudoscience of the newspaper of
which we spoke some time ago as
a probable consequence of the pre
jnature scientific announcements
from Chicago.”
This is a very strong statement
and the weight of scientific author
ity is overwhelmingly against'the
efficacy of whisky in cases of snake
bite. But it will surely be a long
time before the very general belief
that whisky is the tiling to f'ght
snake bite with will.be overcome.

THE Cl DANS.
“Will the Cubans he able to
make a success of their republic?
Are they capable of self-govern¬
ment?” The questions have been
frequently asked lately, in view of
the inauguration of the new gov¬
ernment and the withdrawal of the
American troops from the island;
and in a great many instances
there have been wise shakings of
heads accompanied with predic¬
tions that the new republic will
speedily go to pieces and the Uni¬
ted States be forced to intervene
again and take possession of the
island. Probably a majority of
those persons and periodicals that
take so doleful a view of Cuba’s
future are not very well informed
with respect to the people whose
political fate they are attempting
to forecast. There is a more or
less widespread opinion in this
country that the population of
Cuba is something like that of
llayti or Ban Domingo or Martini¬
que, pretty nearly all negroes or
mulattoes. It is also believed that
the Cubans are turbulent and lazy
and unreliable.
If there is any virtue in the pos¬
session of a large white majority
in the population, Ctiba will re¬
ceive the benefit of that virtue.
The census of 1899, taken under
authority of the United States,
showed the island to be inhabited
by 1,572,845 persons. Of these 1,
052,397 were white, leaving 520,-
448 to be divided among the ne¬
groes, mulattoes and Chinese. Of
negroes there were 234,738, and of
mulattoes 270,805. That does not
look much like a domination of
the island’s government by blacks
and mixed bloods. Asa matter of
fact the proportion of whites to
blacks has been increased since
the census was taken, by immigra¬
tion from Spain and the United
States.
Mr. Ch L. Benjamin,, a postoiiiee
inspector, who has lived among
tho Cubans for three years, com¬
ing into close communication with
them in their homos, on tlm plan¬
tations and in places of business,
declares that the idea that they
are turbulent, lazy or unreliable is
altogether wrong. Heretofore we
have known very little of the peo¬
ple in peace. We have heard of
them chiefly when they have been
in revolt ugainst Spain, and that
has given us the idea that they are
turbulent. Generally speaking, lie
says, there are no more peace-lov¬
ing'pooplu to be found anywhere:
and they are both docile-mid trac¬
table So far from being indolent
or lazy, the wbite Cuban farmer
rises and begins bis work by star¬
light. At 10or 11 o’clock be stops
work for an hour or two, in the
heat of the day, and takes, bis
“siesta.” Foreign visitors wbo
have seen him lolling in the shade
during the “siesta”, have jumped
to the conclusion that he is disin¬
clined to work at all. Let the in¬
quirer put up at one of the farm
houses for two or three days, says
Mr. Benjamin, and he will unlearn
one of the things In- has been most
positive about, liis three years’
intercourse with the people has
led Mr. Benjamin to hold them in
high esteem, and lo predi-t for
them success in their free govern¬
ment, provided llte United States
will follow their “plain duty” and
give them adequate tariff conces¬
sions.—Savannah Morning News.

Storm At San Antonio.
Ban Antonio, Tex.,'May IS.—
Shortly after noon to-day a terri¬
ble wind and rain storm swept
over San Antonio, damaging prop¬
erty to the extent of not lese than
$50,000 and possibly $75,000. The
wind reached a velocity of seven¬
ty-two miles an hour and continu¬
ed at that -rate for nearly twenty
minutes.
At Fort Sant Houston, govern¬
ment property was damaged to the
extent of $20,000, doors being torn
off the officers’ quarters and liar
racks.
The West End Church was com¬
pletely destroyed, loss $5,000.
Hartwell’s hotel was damaged
$3,000; St. Louis College, $6,000;
Academy of the Lady of the Sa¬
cred Heart, $2,000.
Damages to private residences
will reach $20,000.
Several persons were injured
but there were no fatalities.
The storm was a continuation
of the one that swept, over Goliad
with such terrible results.
lluuvitim, Tex., May IS.— A spe¬
cial from Goliad, Tex., says:
At 3:45 o’clock this afternoon a
tornado struck the historical town
of Goliad and loft death and deso¬
lation in its pathway, beyond ib*
power of pen to portray.
A correspondent reached tin
scene at 7 o’clock on a special
train from Victoria, Tex , which
brought doctors, nurses and medi¬
cines, friends and relatives of Go¬
liad people and the O’Connor
Guards. The scene which met the
eye on reaching the scene of des¬
truction, which was in the western
part of the city was appalling. Be¬
tween Church and Pntriace si reels,
which run north and south foe a
distance of a mile, only one lions'

YHE MAJOR’S VENGEANCE.
SIcKinley axul the Reporter Wi»o
Pcj’HiMtently Assitilod Hint.
Puring one of liis congressional cam
paigns Major McKinley was followed
from place to place by u reporter for a
paper of opposite political faith, who is
described as being one of those
“shrewd, persistent fellows who are nl
ways at work, quick to see an oppor
tuuity and skilled in making the most
of it.” While Mr. McKinley was an¬
noyed by the misrepresentation to
which he was almost daily subjected,
lie could not help admiring the skill and
persistency with which lie was
ed. His admiration, too. was not uu
mixed with compassion, for the re¬
porter was ill, poorly clad and had an
annoying cough. One night Mr. Mc¬
Kinley took a closed carriage for a near¬
by town at which he was announced to
speak. Tim weather was wretchedly
raw and cold, and wlmt followed is
thus described:
lie had not gone far when he heard
tliat cough and knew that the reporter
was riding with the driver on the ex
posed sent. The major called to the
driver to stop and alighted. "(let down
off that sent, young man." lie said. The
reporter obeyed, thinking the time for
tiie major’s vengeance had come.
"Here,” said Mr. McKinley, taking off
ids overcoat, “you put on this overcoat
and get into that carriage.”
"But, Major McKinley.” said the re¬
porter. “I guess you don't know who I
am. I have been with you the whole
campalgn, giving it to you every time
you spoke, and 1 am going over tonight
to rip you to pieces if I can.”
"I know.” said Mr. McKinley, "but
von put on this coat and get inside and
get warm so that you can do u
job.”—Chautauquae.

In comparison with the English
tongue foreign tongues seem parsimo¬
nious in some ways of expression anil
wasteful in others.
For Instance, it is impossible to “kick"
a man in French. You must give him
a “blow with tin* foot.” The Portu¬
guese do not “wink” at one; they “close
and open the eyes.”
In the languages of-tlie American In¬
dians there Is no word with which to
convey the Idea of “stealing," perhaps
because the idea of properly is so
vague. It is related of one of the early
missionaries Unit in attempting to
translate the Bible into Algonquin lie
could find no word to express “love”
ami was compelled to invent It.

‘SHE BURNS GREEN.”
The KUeovepy of Borax 'In De:»lh
Yulley by Aaron Winters.
The greatest discovery of borax in
the t.'nited States was made In the ter
rild.v 1„ : region known as Death val
ley and in a most romantic way. The
Chicago Record tells tfie story,
In IMS,.) Aaron Winters lived with ins
wife. Rosie, in a gulch known as Ash
Meadows, not far from the mouth of
Pearii valley, Ile was so loud of
his wife that lie would not allow her to
be long absent from him. although
I heir little lint on Hie side of the i.muu
lain was a hundred miles from the
nearest neighbor, in a wild, rugged.
forsaken country.
One day a desert tramp came along
and spent the night at the Winters
home. lie told .the hunter about tin*
borax deposits of Nevada. When be
went away. Winters thought that he
bad seen deposits of the same kind on
his explorations into Death valley.
Accordingly lie and his wife, went to
getlu*r to make tile search, having' pfe
viously provided themselves with eer
tain test chemicals, which when com
biued with borax ami ignited would
produce a green flame.
Having procured a piece of the sub¬
stance which lie believed to be borax.
Winters and his wife waited for night¬
fall to make the test. How would it
burn ?
For years they had lived like Piutcs
on the desert, entirely without luxuries
and often wanting for the very uecessi
ties of life. Would the match change
all that?
Winters held the blaze to the Sub
stance with a trembling band, then
shouted at the top of his voice: "She
burns green. Rosie! We're rich! We’re
rich!”
They had found borax. The mine
was sold for $20,000, and Winters took
his Rosie to a ranch in Nevada.
