The United States gunboat Con-
cord met q schooner on the west
coast of Luzon loaded with supplies
for rebels at Daguport, and burned
her. When the gunboat anchored
in the bay the natives abandoned the
town and fed in great confusion.
The tale is ever thus, but yet these
glorious United States whose flag, it
is claimed, is the symbol of freedom
and liberty, still continue to send
the dogs of war, battleships, amuni-

islands to murder those poor people,

fighting to free themselves from

The Women Of the South.
They Protest Against Any Other
Care of Confederate Graves.

Care Of Confederate Graves.
Savannah, Ga, March 6.-The
local chapter of Daughters Of the
Confederacy, which is the original
chapter OF the organization, adopted
a resolution strongly protesting
against President McKinley's sug-
gestion respecting the Federal care OF
Confederate graves.
The resolution says: with full
appreciation of the impulse expressed
in that sentiment we shrink instinc-
lively with hushed and holy sorrow
from yielding assent. The graves Of
the Confederate dead are u pill
grim shrines. From their hallowed
hearts eternally ascend mute pro
tests against all assaults upon con-
stitutional liberty. The record these
incompatible heroes made furnish
the brightest pages in American
annals, wrought out by men of lofti-
est mould. Only reverent hands
should lay memorials over their con-
secrated dust. To the women OF the
South this sacred trust must be re.
served through all generations"

feathers Association.
To the E iitor Of the Dispatch:

On February 25, 1899, the teach
ers met in the Institute building at
Lexington.
The usual order Of business was
followed by carrying out the pro-
gram previously published.
Prof. Thad. W. Dteher spoke on
the teachers duty to his association.
The teachers present., recognizing
the force and abilityof Prof. Dreher's
argument, passed a resolution asking
the publication of this paper in TO-
terest of education and for the bene-
6t of the teachers.
Mr.. W. B. Shealy's subject was car
riei over for the next meeting.
Prof. Dent was not present to spelk
on school libraries.
Mr.. j. Frank Kyzer's experience
as County Superintendent of Eluca-
ton in past years gave him opportu-
nity to study the sentiment Of the
public towards the advancement OF
education. In some instances he
found that Lexington county is favor
able to public education. But this
god work, like every other step to
progress, has h%inderances not easily
overcome.
The next meeting Of this Associa
ton will be at Lexington on the 18th
Of March, 1899.
The following program has been
arranged for that date:
l. The Story of Eiucation-Mr.
W. B. Shealy.
2. Spelling-Miss Mary G. Wing

3. Pres and Rewards-Mr. John

Yates Plantation must be to Rich

reports several negroes have met
their death at the hands Of negroes.
We have about come to the conclu-
sion that the best and cheapest way
to settle the race problem in the
South, is to arm the negro with a 81
pistol and a two-for-a nickle razor
and initiate him with a half pint OF

The Columbia States analysis OF
the statements of the constables made
to the States reporter on the night
Mrs. Stuart was killed, and their
aHidavits to be submitted to Judge
Gary at Lancaster today, is sufficient
ground for the Judge who presides
at the trial of the constables, to
stand every juror aside who read the
article. When a newspaper attempts
to forestall public opinion and seeks
to prejudice a case in court in ad-
vance of trial it transcends the liberty
of the press, and becomes at once
prosecutor, Judge and jury and our
courts would be a useless burden
upon the taxpayers.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
The snow and cold passed eff but
it's dit astrous effects, such as killing
the peaches and other damages re-
main. The intesne cold also entailed
much suffering in every conceivable
manner. The laboring lass were
deprived of the opportunity to earn
their accustomed wages, and many
need things they cannot obtain, while
every line of business was paralyzsd
by the stoppage Of labor. Since the
let up however, affairs are beginning
to revive. Bat again it is raining
and that will delay matters. The
farming interest is now pressing and
every moment Of time is precious,
and all are impatient to run the pillow.
Very little work has been done yet
and they will apparently all start
fair this time, for now it is corn plant
ing time and nothing done. But the
sun will yet shine Us brightly as ever
and good weather is sure to come,
though it may be late.

the condition of the roads will per

To swell this formidable list of
men already on the field and en-

the crack Sixth artillery, 1900 men
in all, are under orders to proceed to
Manila at the earliest opportunity.
These reinforcements, which go to
the archipelago under an order is
sued by tie war department last
week, complete the roll Of troops so
far as now contemplated for service
in the islands, and are as follows:

conditions are satisfactory when they
reach Manila it is likely that a cor.
responding number Of volunteers may
be brought home.
