Reported That U. S. Will Take
Charge of Island Affairs.
Administration Officia's Refuse to Admit
Seriousness of the Situation, and
Secrecy Surrounds Plans.
Washington, D, C.—That a thira
armed invasion of Cuba by the Unk
ed States s not improbable in the not
distant future is the belief of many
well-iuformed army and navy men
here, Naturally ail effort to induet
them (o speak openly on the subject
is usoless,
lach day the island government is
becoming more involved and plunging
deeper in the mire of financial difhi
dulties, There is said to be a rapid
‘relapse from the conditions as left
by the U'nited States a few months
ago,
it is recognized by the administra
tion that intervention ‘is slowly be
coming more imperativé, because ot
the growing complications facing the
new government, but the administra
tion here is dipiomatically sphinx-like
in so far as even hinting at the sub
ject, It could not well be ctherwise
for the presert.
Plans for the landing of soldiers at
Havana and Cienfuegos have been
prepared by the general staff of the
army. The utmost secrecy surrounds
these plans, it is needless to say, and
the war department officials will
stoutly deny the existing facts,as will
other administration officials, but nev
ertheless they are there. The plans
are known only to high ranking offi
cers of the army, who have under
lock and key detailed printed provis
jonal orders for the movements of in
fantry and cavalry forces,
Conditions in Cuba are believed to
be nearing a crisis through the ac
tions of the new government. In ad
dition to the heavy burdens placed on
Cuba by the United States in its §sl9,-
000,000 bond issue, the government
has practically traded the arsenal
property to the railroad and incurred
an additional resporsibility of $6,000,-
000. Further than that, the new gov
ernment is creating hundreds of of
fices and filling them with Cubans.
Many of the men who fought for
“Cuba Libre” Dbelieve they are not
receiving their reward, and may make
trouble, necessitating intervention by
the United States.
President Taft and administration
officials refuse to admit the serious
ness of the situation for reasons of
policy. The president has always
been proud of the manner in which
the United States handled affairs in
Cuba, and believes that action must
be justified.
Representative Champ Clark of Mis
souri, speaking of the chaotic condi
tions in Cuba and the announcement,
says:
“T regret to hear that conditions in
Cuba are such as may force another
intervention on our part., My guess is
that if we are compelied to intervere
again we will stay there for keeps.”
Representative Austin of Tennessee
said he knew conditions are not satis
factory in Cuba and that the Cuban
government had not lived up to its
promises, “In my judgment,” said he,
“jt was a serious mistake for the
United States to ever turn the island
over to the Cubans. It is quite prob
able that we will have to return to
the island. If we do we will remain
there.”
TURPENTINE MEN SENTENCED.,
Jail Sentences and Fines Assessed
by Court.
Savannah, Ga.—Overruling the mo
tion in arrest of judgment ofiered by
the defense, Judge William B. Shep
pard sentenced the five men found
guilty of violating the Sherman anti
trust law, and for the first time, so
far as is known, jail sentences, in
two cases, were imposed. The sen
tences follow:
Spencer P. Shotter, chairman of the
board of directors of the American
Naval Stores Company, three.months
in jail and a fine of $5,000.
Edniund S. Nash, president of the
company, $2.000 fine.
John Cooper Myers, vice president
of the American Company and presi
dent of the National Transportation
and Terminal Company, three months
in jail and a fine of $2,500.
George Mead Boardman of New
York, treasurer of the American Na
val Steres Company, $2,000 fine.
Carl Moller of Jacksonville, Fla.,
azent of the American and general
manager of the National Transporta
tion and Terminal Company in Jack
sonville, $5,000 fine,
The case will be appealed to the
United States court of appeals.
SERIES OF TORNADOES.
Three States Suffer Damage from the
Storms—One Town Devastated.
Kansas City, Mo.—A series of tor
nadoes in Kansas, Missouri and Okla
homa killed at least five, injured 59,
devastated one town, wrecked a train
and did great damagze to property.
Twenty-five men were injured by a
storm that swept over Mount Wash
ington and Fairmount Park, suburbs
of Kansas City.
The town of Hollis, Kan., was swept
away. Here three were Kkilled and

Great Southern Methodist Passes Away
at His Home in Mississippi.
Jackson, Miss.—Bilshop Charles G.
Galloway of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, Mississippi’s most dis
tiuguished divine and best Kknown
publicist, who for the past twenly
years, has held rank among the
greatest pulpit orators of Ameriea,
died at his residence in this city, af
ter an illness of several days with a
mild form of pneumonia complicated
with heart trouble,
On several occasions during the
past three years, Bishop Galolway
suffered severe attacks, due to en
feebled heart action, and hardening
of the arteries, Although only in his
sixtieth year, the prodigious volume
of work he performed as the “Mis
sion Bishop of Methodism™ had great
ly weakened his once powerful phy
sique and he was in no condition to
withstand the lung congestion that
caused his death,
Charles Betts Galloway was born
at Kosciusko, Miss,, Sept. 1, 1849,
and was in his sixtieth year., He grad
uated in 1868 from the University of
Mississippi, from which institution he
received the degree of doctor of di
vinity in 1882. The degree of doctor
of laws was later conferred upon him
by the Northwestern University, and
by the Tulane University.
He entered the ministry in 1868 as
a member of the Mississippi Confer
ence, Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, serving numerous churches in
that state. He was editor of the New
Orleans Christian Adovcate from 1882
until 1886, when he was ordained as
bishop, serving the church continu
ously in that capacity until the day
of his death.
TO EXTERMINATE PESTS.
Great Campaign Planned Against the
House Flies.
Chicago, Ill.—lt is time to begin
the fight on flies. Health Commis
sioner Evans has sounded the warn
ing in his weekly bulletin on Chica
go’s health,
In the war on flies, the report pre
scribes the best death for the in
sects. It gives the formula for a poi
son that will kill the flies and not en
danger human life.
A dram of bichromate of potash,
dissolved in two ounces of water and
sweetened, is the cheap and effective
method of encouraging the flies to
kill themselves.
There are other sanitary regula
tions, though, that the health report
says ought to be exercised. Here
are some of the ways suggested:
Screen your windows and doors be
fore fly time.
Screen all food, especially mili.
Keep flies away from the sick, es
pecially those ill with contagious dis.
eases,
Eliminate the breeding places of
flies: this is important.
The following should be done:
Sprinkle chloride of lime or kero
sene over contents of garbage boxes
and other refuse.
Keep garbage receptacles tightly
covered. Clean the cans daily.
Clean the boxes every week. Sprin
kle them with kerosene or chloride of
lime,
Pour kerosene into the drains; keep
sewerage system in good order.
Clean cuspidors every day; keep a
5 per cent solution of carbolic acid in
them all the time.
Don’t allow dirt- to accumulate in
corners, behind doors, back of radia
tors or under stoves.
No dirt—no f{lies.

MaKing More Money Out of
Cotton Crops
is merely a question of using enough of the right
kind of fertilizers.
Virginia-Caroli
irginia-cvaroiina
Fertilizers
are the right kind.
The cotton plant cannot feed on barren land. Study
your soil. Find out what it lacks. Then apply the
necessary fertilization and the results will surprise you.
See what Mr. W. C. Hays of Smith Station, Ala., did. He says:
“I planted about 30 acres of some ‘gray sandy land’ that had been in
cultivation for over 20 years, and used 300 pounds of Virginia-Caro
lina Fertilizers per acre, and I expect to gather 30 bales from
the 30 acres.”” Thisis why we say it is the right kind. We have
hundreds ofletters like this, and even stronger, in praise of Virginia- -
Carolina Fertilizer for cotton.
Get a copy of the new 1909 Virginia-Carolina Farmers’ Year Book
from your fertilizer dealer, or write our nearest sales office and a copy
will be sent you free. It contains pictures of the capitols of all the
Southern States.
