twelve years of age who has not had
access to free school. AS a consequence
llilteracy has decreased among them from
% per cent in 1870 to 40 per cent in 1S99

among them has increased in about the

There is, however, another sort of
educatlon which can in time greatly re-
leve the situation. This is moral educa-

years and even for generations. The
greatest crime ever perpetrated not only
against American ideas and institutions

southern negro was when, without prep

and privileges and responsibilities of citi-

PORTO RICO PRIVILEGES.
Attorney General Decides Powers

of War Department Are Limited.
WASHINGTON, July 2S-In response to
requests from the secretary of war At
torney General Griggs today rendered
three opinions as to the rights and du-
ties of the war department with respect
TO certain concessions or franchises on
the island of Porto Rico. The first re-
Iates to an alleged concession for the
construction of a tramWay from Ponce to
Fort Ponce, claimed to have been hereto
lore granted to Messrs. Usera The sec
retary of war asked whether under the
evidence submitted, a lawful concession
TO construct such tramway had been
granted to them, and If so, whether it
would De proper for him to confirm the
concession. After an examination of the
evidence submitted the attorney general
hclds that the concession claimed is not
complete and vested right or franchise,
out is fnchoate and incomplete, and that
the war department is without power to
exercise the prerogative oe the govern
ment to grant or complete such conces-
sion
The second opinion is based upon the
application Of Ramon Valdez Cobian
for concession of the right to use the
water power of the river Plata in Porto
Rico. The question involved is whether
the war department has authority to ap-
prove or disapprove the concession which
the applicant seeks and desires to use.
1t appears that the applicant in this case
had not obtained authority for the use
of the river Plata. He had only COM
piled with the preliminary requisites. The
attorney general concludes, therefore,
that the department has no power to
grant the application sought

with the rifle and did great execution in
the battle with the Griffins.
The fighting Philpots," as they are
called, are unlike many other fighting fa-
miles, in that they do not seek trouble.
In all their many fights they have been
absolutely on the defensive. Rather than
to bring on trouble they have persistently
refused to become the attacking party,
even when their lives have been in jeo-
pardy, and they have always waited for
their enemies to open the battles. But
after the fights are started the Philpots
do not hesitate to do that which they con-
ceive to be their full duty, and that is to
Kill as many of the enemy as possible
They do not become excited under fire and
they are on that account able to handle
their weapons with accuracy and effec-
tiveness. Unlike other mountain fighters
the Philpots do not fight from ambush
They believe in open battles. and they
are willing to give their enemies a fair
show for their lives. Fighting is the last
thing the Philpots want to do, but when
there is no other alternative they make
war with vigor that is refreshing to
those who believe in the survival of the
httest. Personally the Philpots are among
the most hospitah'e and good-natured citi-
zens of Eastern Kentucky and they treat
strangers with the greatest consideration
and kindness. They are good neighbors
stanch friends, but dangerous and uncon1-
promising foes.
