Aberdeen (Miss.) Examiner: The
miserable, whining complaining
style of many Southern journalists
in writing of local conditions, and
theircriticism and abuse of the farm
ers, does incalculable injury to our
section, for their abusive words are
eagerly quoted and echoed elsewhere
and go to the masses as chronicles
instead of fables. AS between a
boaster and a grumbler give Us the
former every time. The one may
awaken rivalry, anger or resentment
while the other only excites pity and
contempt. The face of the case is
that the Southern man of observa-
ton and brain who travels always
returns home with a better opinion
of home-surroundings, conditions
and people than he had before he
started; while on the other hand,
the man who has seen little beyond
his own village is introspective in
his views and retrospective in his
comparisons and conclusions.

Many of those who deprecate the
tardiness of justice in dealing with
criminals-especially murderers-ap-
pear to think that the evil can be
remedied by legislation. AS a matter
OF fact legislation has nothing to do
with it. The trouble lies with the
judges. Too much is conceded to
technicality. Durant lived two
years after he was sentenced to be
hanged simply because judges were
found who granted stays Of execution
upon legal bubbles. In England
murderers whose guilt is clear get
short shrift, and our laws are basted
upon those of England. The differ
ence appears to be that with US judges
conceive the law to be principally fol
the protection of the criminal, while
in England the Judiciary conce!ves
the rights and the saftey of the com
munity the first objects to be con
sidered.

THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS.

During the past few weeks atten-
ton has been directed toward the
Philippine Islands, which by reason
OF Deweys great victory at Manila
may become a permanent possession
n1 the United States. The Philippine
group Of islands are located about
200 miles southeast from the main
land OF Asia having on the west the
China sea and the open Pacific on the
east. The group consists OF about
400 islands with a total area of
over 100000 square miles, about
one and one-half times the size OF
Minnesota. Luzon and Mindanao,
with an aggregate area OF $3.50
square miles, are the two largest is
lands. Volcanic forces have Ind
large share in shaping the archipela-
90, and some OF the islands still have
volcanoes IL active eruption, but
most OF them are extinct. The is
lands reach almost from the equator
to the north temperate zone, 1000
miles, and owing to this great reach
from north to south considera ole
variu ton in climate would be expect
ed, but the surrounding ocean tends
to equalize the temperature and
make the climate tropical. OF all
the islands the climate OF Luzon is
best suited to Europeans The is
lands possess a great wealth OF vege-
table products peculiar to tropical
climes. Rice is the great food pro-
duet. Other valuable products are
tobacco, sugar, coffee, cocoa, indigo.
hemp and dye woods Manila cigars
are celebrated The Philippine is
landers grow the celebrated MANILA
fiber from which is made the MANILA
twine that binds the wheat of the
Red River Valley farmer. The max
ing Of baskets, matting and cane
work are important Industries.
Leather is an important article OF
export. Agriculture is still in prim-
itive condition, but is in IL far more
advanced state than that OF the
North American Indian. There are
large coal fields now being opened in
the islands. and other minerals, in
Guiding gold and silver, are said to
abound.
The islands were discovered by
Magellan in 1921, on his tourarouud
the world, and Manila, the capital
was founded by Legaspi in 1911, and
since that time they have been under
the dominion ofSpain. Theconquest
and retention OF the islands vas not
accomplished by the usual Spanish
methods OF cruelty and bloodshed
but largely through the aid OF mis-
sionaries who won the confidence of
the natives
The population of the islands is es-
timated at 100000. The natives
belong principally to the Malay race.
The three principal nations are the
Tagals, the Besayans, the Igarotes,
and the Negritos, the latter being
the original inhabitants, ofwhich only
a fraction now survives. There is a

A Trying Episode.

One OF those trying experiences in a
wOman's life, when she loses her
pocketbook, was seen at the depot
Friday morning. A lady, with a
baby, took the train here. She had
got nicely into the car and in her
seat when, horrors! up she jumps
exclaiming, "Oh, I've lost my purse,
ticket and all, what shall do?" A
score or more of gallant men sprang
from their seats to offer their SER
vices, their every endeavor in behalf
of this attractive youngIwoman, with
her gurgling babe, minus a pocket
book. Out they rush, ask the con-
ductor to hold the train while a full
regiment Join in the search for the
lost purse, in the station, on the
platform, down in the snow beneath
the car, in the car. The baby is
picked up and shaken, with the hope
that her intricate maze of baby
things might give up the now long
lost treasure. The poor woman
weeps several vigorous wopes, the
baby ditto, only somewhat more
vigorously. The frantic woman, out
on the platform of the car, hearing
the desperate tones of the delayed
conductor, fourishes her shapely
arms in wild alarm but, links what
a change, she accidently strikes the
lower southwest corner Of her sweep
ing cape and there, tucked away ina
dainty pocket, she hits her well-filled
purse; glad, sickly smile creeps over
her anxious face, and with trembling
eye and tear bedimmed voice she mod
estly tells the conductor of her find, he
cherily calls "all aboard" the hunt
is declared off. Every man in the regi-,
ment Of hunters holds a handkerchief
over his face to conceal a smoker;
there's a rush for the smoker and the
train pulls out, seven minutes late.
