THE HEADLIGHT. IT BUSH F.I) EVERY THURSDAY. SUBSCRIPTION 1.00 PER YEAR. A. KOSl'OWER, Editor and Proprietor. Gni.nsKORo, N. C, Jan. 17, 1001. CUBA IS FORKHJN TEKKITOKV. The Supreme Court of the United States decided Monday in the Xec ly extradition case that Cuba "can not be regarded in any constitu tional, legal or international sense a part of the territory of the United States. While the military ecu pat ion of the island by troops of the United States has been, as the Court declares, "the necessary re sult"' of the War with Spain, and this (iovernment was justified in all that it has done to establish or der in the island. Cuba is -"terri-ritory held in trust for the Cubans, to whom it rightfully belongs and to whose exclusive control it will be surrendered when a stable gov ernment shall have been established by their voluntary action."" The United States is bound by the most solemn promise and obli gation to give the Cubans indepen dence, and those who think the declaration of Congress can be ig nored or brushed jisidc wUl tind no comfort or encouragement in the Supreme Court's decision. "Cuba is none the less foreign territory,"' the Court holds, "because it is un der a military government appoint ed by ami representing the Presi dent in the work of assisting the inhabitants of that island to estab lish a government of their own, under which as a free and indepen dent people they they may control their affairs without interference from other nations.-" This decision of the Supreme Court should put an end to sug gestions of "forcible annexation"' which are made from time to time by those who desire to exploit the island. The United States has no legal claim on Cuba, but must re linquish the control which it now exercises when a stable govern ment has been established in the is land by the "voluntary action" of the Cubans. The status of Cuba has now been defined by the high est court in the United States. The Cubans are entitled to be a "free and and independent people,"' and it is the duty of this (iovernment to give them freedom and indepen dence at the earliest opportunity. AMERICAN COMPETITION IN CHINA. With an intense appreciation of the importance of fostering their export trade, industrial interests in Germany's have been discussing Germany's probable share in the trade with China upon the conclu sion of hostilities. The Berlin Tageblatt is not certain that the at titude which Germany has assumed and the conduct of the German troops (which has been sevcrely criticised) will redound to the com mercial advantage of the Father land hereafter. Of one thing,hov cver, it is certain namely, that the United States w ill make an ac tive effort to win the leading place in the great development of trade with China is expected to follow the war. If natural conditions alone were to be considered, there is no doubt that the United States would be easily first. The possession of abundant cheap raw material, supe rior mechanical skill and highly ef fective machinery gives the Ameri can manufacturer an advantage at the outset. Not having felt the spur of necessity, however, as the producers of other nations have, he is not as much alive to the im portance of seeking out new mar kets nor so familiar with the pro per way of invading them. In this respect solely is the American at a disadvantage compared with his English or German competitor in the coming struggle for suprem acy in the Oriental trade. ; If American manufacturers shall equip themselves with thorough ness regarding the wants of the Chinese people, and shall go about meeting the requirements of the Orientals with the same prompt ness and enterprise which has char acterized the development of the domestic trade, the prediction of the Berlin paper regarding Ameri can leadership will doubtless be verified. Promptness in the payment of small debts as well as large ones will contribute at all seasons to the comfort of everybody, but more especially now, in the beginning of the year, when there are few who do not have something to pay or to receive. "Money makes the mare go" is an old proverb, origi nating very likely on the turf. It also makes business go in all its de partments, licady cash is the one essential, and when it circulates freely from hand to hand in the discharge of obligations is as much of a blessing as the gentle dew, which descends alike upon the just 4ind the unjust. CHILDREN XOT WANTED. continued from kihst page. never set any task until they were ten years old, aud even then it was a very light one. This left a large number of infants and children of al most every age, the latter as tricky as little monkeys and as little amen able to reason,, to be tended and kept out of harm's way. This was most satisfactorily accomplished by hav ing a roomy place where they were to remain under the care of a reliable old woman, who fed and watched over them until their parents return ed from work, and a more free, healthy, happy little set of children it would be difficult to find in any country. If the rapid transit plans are as successful as it is hoped they will be, the wage earners of the future will easily come from some suburb where children are not tabooed. I believe the surest way to ag grandize and elevate our country and our most pressing duty is personally to watch over the children and train them in the paths of virtue to see that so far as we can prevent it, the children do not 'Know the grief of man without its wisdom, Sink into man's despair without its calm.'" V. Jefferson Davis. Politeness in Children. Henry Ward Beecher said, "Po liteness is a religious duty, and should be part of a religious train ing." The law of politeness applies to men and women quite as much as to children; and if courtesy and kind ness are the natural expression of parents the children will naturally adopt good manners. A writer in the Union Signal tells of a visit to a home in which the mother very prop erly classed good manners among the cardinal virtues of life. Her method of inculcating them, how ever, was astonishing, and not to be commended. No sooner were we seated at the table than she began to instruct the children in this wise: "Edith, sit up straight. It is vul gar to lounge at the table, above all places. Harry, take your elbows from the table. How often have I told you that it was rude to put your elbows on the table? Is it pos sible, Harold, that you are eat ing mashed potatoes with a spoon? I have told you over and over again just what was the proper use of the spoon at the table."' In the parlor it was: "Edith, sit erect! Harry don't pass in front of Mr. H. without an apology. Mamma wants her little boys "and girls to be polite." One is reminded by these ill-bred suggestions of the discouraged wo man who said to her children, "You ain't got co manners, and I declare I can't beat none into you. " Jailed For Getting Married, Mr. and Mrs. William H. Beck are in the Neosh acountyjail undergoing a sentence of 30 days upon a convic tion that is, perhaps, without par allel in Kansas. The wife and husband are first cousins, and they were arrested on complaint of the wife's brother un der the law which prohibits mar riages between parties bearing this degree of relationship. They had been married hut three weeks when the complaint was made, and the de clare that as soon as they have served out the 30 days they will go to Nebraska and be married over agaid. Other States offer no objec tion to this degree of consanguinity, and, of course, the Kansas law would not reach a couple legally married elsewhere. Beck is a well-to do young farm owner, and it is alleged that Mr6. Beck's brother was inspired by a de sire for vengeanca, the family hav ing had some trouble over the set tlement of an estate. Girl Mourned As Dead Alive. Cincinnati, O., Jan. 16. On the night of May 19th of last year, the body of a young woman was found in the Ohio river. Mrs. Owens, who lives at 1422 Elm street, saw the report in the papers. Her daugh ter Maud had been missing since the third of the month. She went to the Morgue and examined the body. She believed it was that of her daughter, but to make sure sent for her husband, who identified the dead girl by means of a scar on her cheek as his daughter. The parents claimed the body and buried it. Last Sunday Mrs. Owens received a postal card, asking her to meet her daughter at the depot. She was much surprised and did not under stand it. However, she went to the depot, and her daughter, whom she had mourued as dead, stepped from the train alive and .well. There was a happy meeting. Maud's story was that she had gone to Indianapolis with a mao who deserted her. State ok Ohio Citv of Toledo, Lucas County. ss FkankJ.

The Asheville Citizeu tell of a strange shooting serap which oc curred at Buena Vista, six miles from Asheville, Friday morning. The persons concerned are Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Burger, who recently moved to the place from Duluth, Minn. Burger was a bank cashier in Duluth und came to Asheville for his health, buying a farm. The cou ple have one child, a daughter about ten years old. About 4 o'clock Fri day morning ths neighbors were startled bv hearing a number of shots in the Burger household, and soon afterward the little girl ran to a neighbor and said that "Mama had shot papa." When the neighbors arrivrd Mrs. Burger, we are told met them at the door with a smilin; countenance, and seemed entirely at her ease. The relations between husbadd aud wife seemed not at all strained, Mr. Burger calling her "Jennie," and she referring to him as "dear." Burger was wounded in three places, the most serious wound be ing in his forehead, but it is not thought his injuries will prove very serious. It is supposed he couple had a difficulty and settled it by popping away at each ether, but they steadfastly refused to say a word about the matter. Mrs. Bur ger told the neighbors to get both pistolds, but the could find but one on the premises. At last accounts no arrests had been made. Extravagance in City A flair. Goldsboro, N. C, Jan. 12, 11)01. Editor Heaiu.ioiit: Sometime since you got after the County Com missioners aud justly so too for ex travagant expenditures of the peo ple's money i. e.) the county print ing case. Why not get after the city fathers for appropriating i 150 of the people's money out of the city treas ury to defray the expenses of the two Goldsboro Rifle Companys to at tend the inauguration on the loth inst., when if they will just look back a little to the Iat financial city re port, which, I think, howed the city behind somewhere between eight and ten thousand doilars, aud the taxes still getting higher. Now we don't object to the boys having a good time but it ought cot to be at the expenses of the bard-fisted tax payers of the city of Goldsboro. A Taxpayer. The strictures of "A Taxpayer" are timely and to the point. The city claims to be "hard up" when a much needed fire-alarm box is wanted at the corner of Walnut and Slocumb streets by the clamoring taxpayers of that locality, or when street re pairs are desired, as is the urgent cae just now, yet seems to have "money to burn" when it comes to defray junketing tours.

First he was elected to the professorship of ana tomy and surgery in the Vermont Uni versity. Next he was appointed lecturer on materia medica aud medical botany in Dartmouth College. The next year he was chosen professor of the chair then vacated by Prof. Kobbv, and occu pied the chair, the most important one in the country, at the time when he first formulated his most remarkable pre scription.
