The State, 14th inst.
Some days ago there was great
excitement at Norway over the
reported intention of citizens to
lynch a white man named Gleaton
for attempted rape. The sheriff
of Orangeburg was wired to stop
1t and he succeeded IN doing it.
The governor has received in-
formation that when arraiged no-
body would swear out a warrant,
not even the father of the alleged
victim, and the prisoner has been
released.

CAPT l.. ID. CHILDS DIES
SUDDENLY.
Leader of the Prohibitionists and
a Prominent Citizen of Column
bia.
The State, 18th inst.

AS unexpected as the thunder>
bolt from u clear sky came brief
telegram last evening conveying
the sad intelligence that Capt.
Lysander d Childs had died sud.
denl y in the course of the evening
at Saludp, n &, where he has been
spending the summer with his
family. The cause of Capt Childs'
sudden death vas not stated. The
news was severe shock to his
relatives and friends, and all
FASTENED to convey messages of
coincidence to the stricken widow.
Capt Childs was one of Columbia's
most prominent citizens. Though
he lived quietly at his home in
WaverIy, he had many business
interests and was a man who was
known by his fellow citizens only
to be loved. He was a high toned
Christian gentleman, having the
courage of his convictions, and
never failing to express them
fearless and forcefuIIy. His
strength of character was best ex-
emplifed perhaps in his absolute
devotion to the cause of prohibi
tion in South Carolina. He has
long been the recognized leader Of
the prohibition;st of the State,
and every fight for the cause that
has been made was under his lead
ership.
The remains will be brought tc
the saddened home in this city to-
day and the funeral arrangement.
will be announced later. Cap,
Childs' health had been bad fol
some time. This summer he went
early to the mountains. About
three weeks ago he came home
for few days to look after some
business matters. He had never
looked better and said that he felt
greatly improved by his stay in
the mountains. His friends little
dreamed that the end was so near
His last appearance in public was
in the Legislature the session be
fore last, when by sheer viii
power he overmastered his rapidly
failing strength and made the
great fight tor the prohibition
measure which came so near win
ning. After the fight was over
he left the hail and did not ap
. pear again that SESSION, his last a
member of the house of repre-
, sentatives.

VANDERBILT DEAD.
STRICKEN WITH PARALYSIS
The Millionaire Railroad Magnate
Expired at His Fifth Avenue
Home Tuesday Morning.

New York, Sept. 12-CorneIius
Vanderbilt died at 5 Is q. m, at
his home 57th street and Fifth av>
enue. There were at the death-
bed his wife, his daughter Gladys,
and Reginald, his youngest son.
MIR Vanderbilt arrived at home
from Newport, with Mrs Wander
bilt last night. He appeared in
excellent health and spirits and
retired soon afterwards. About
midnight he was seized with a Sc
rious attack and the household
was aroused. Telegrams were
sent to several physicians, who
arrived in short time. Every
thing possible was done for the
patient, but he grew rapidly worse
and died at 5:15.
Mrs Vanderbilt and her daugh-
ter, Gladys, are Frustrated by the
shoch, and physicians are attend>
ing them.
MIR Vanderbilt's death was caus-
ed by stroke of paralysis, it be-
ing the second which he had suf-
fered. The stroke occurred about
midnight. The patient was semi>
conscious until death.
Chauncey M Depew reached the
Vanderbilt house at 1880, and re-
manned but ten minutes. When
he came out he was greatly affect
ed, and, with tears in his eyes,
said he was too greatly affected to
give any information at that time.
SKETCH OF THE DECEASED.
! Cornelius Vanderbilt was the
/ eldest son of the late VIM. II Van
, derbilt, and was born on Staten
, Island November 81, 1913. VIM.
. H Vanderbilt, his father, was then
/ a farmer, and Cornelius, at the
age of 16, left school and secured
, place as messenger in the Shoe
and Leather Bank. His grand
father, the Commodore, learning
of this, sent for him and asked
why he had not applied to him for
, place. "Because | did not want
} to ask for anything" was the re-
l ply. This pleased the commodore,
and it is said that he made codi-
: Gil to his will a few days later,
. leaving 81, 600, 900 to his grand
3 son.
= Cornelius left the Shoe and
Leather bank to 90 into the en-
ploy Of Kissman Bros, bankers,
a but his grand father asked him to
enter the railroad service. The
young man was making $50 a
month, and declined to leave MS
t place unless he got more money.
@ The commodore offered him S65,
o and he accepted it. He was then
II about 81 years old. His first
Fl place was that of assistant treasu~
% rer of the New York and Harlem
railroad. His rise was rapid, and
l. he succeeded his father as the head
j. of the Vanderbilt system.
/, Mr. Vanderbilt's active career
d practically closed when he suffer-
n ed paralytic stroke in 1895.

SENTIMENT IN SOUTH
CAROLINA.
People Divided, Senator McLaurin
Says, On Administrations
Philippine Policy. The
War as an Issue.

Washington, Sept 12-Talk of
an extra session of congress has
been revived recently, but Sena-
tor McLaurln, of South Carolina,
who was seen by Post reporter
as he was leaving the White House
today, does not believe there is
any foundation for the rumors.
Ido not expect an extra session.
Nothing has come from an Of
fetal source which would in any
way indicate that the president
contemplates such action" .f
Senator McLaurin says, how-
ever, tina, congress, when it does
meet, ought to get to work as
promptly as possible, because 1t
will have an unusual number of
important questions to consider.
"If the war in the Philippines is
still in progress, said be, "we
will have to provide means for It's
prompt conclusion, and if it has
ended, we will have the future
disposition of the islands to dis

garding the islands, bnt the gen
eral consensus of opinion is that,
as we have got into the situation,
we have got to stay. We cannot
afford to retreat now. Whatever
may have been the propriety OF
getting into the Philippine war we
must see it settled with honor to
our country. If the war con
tinues, it will be a political issue,
but if it ends, | doubt whether
the question of the permanent
retention of the islands will figure
so largely in the next campaign.
The trouble with all Of us is thai
we lack information. | confess
that is the great trouble witt
me-"
eff our people are not talking
much now about silver" addeC
Senator McLaurin, ''it is becaus,

Democratic party on that matter
as settled. The financial plank O.
the Chicago platform wilT be re-
affirmed at the next national con
vention and South Carolina will
send a Bryan delegation to tha
convention. There is no opposi
ton to him in the State"

Vast Territory and Many Tribes
Some Brand New Facts Clothed
in Entertaining Language
Over Sixty Languages
are Spoken There.


his Office 10 Cornell University. =
He gave out the following state
ment to the Associated Press on
Philippine affairs: cit is very
important that the public should
know the actual facts of the stu
alton. Things are what they are
and the American public should
understand them, whether thew
agree with or run counter to the
public's wishes.
First, it requires some effort to
realize the vastness of the archi
pelago which extends in triangu
lar form from FormosA to Borneo
and Colebes, through sixteen de-
grees of Latitude. Never going
ort into the Pacific ocean on the
east, or the China sea on the west,
made circuit of 1900 miles,
all south of Manila. This gives
some idea of the difficulty of main>
taining an effective blockade, as
the coast line of all islands em,
braced in the archipelago is many
more thousands of miles.
Second, the multiplicity and
heterogeneous nature of the tribes
is something astonishing Over
sixty different languages are spo-
ken in thearchipelago, and though
the majority of the tribes are
small, there are at least half a
dozen haying quarter of a mil
lion members. The languages of
these people are as distinct from
one another as French and Span
ish or Italian, so that the speech
of any one tribe is unintelligible
to its neighbors. These tribes
are all civilized and Christianized,
but small uncivilized tribes, among
whom the lgorotes seem best
known in America, inhabit the
mountains in Luzon, and form a
large part of the population of
Minranao. In this island there is
a large Mohammedan population,
which is independent of the Mo
hammedans in the neighboring
Sulu archipelago.
"Third, it is the Tagalos lnhab-
iting some of the provinces about
Manila who are resisting the an ..
thority of the United States. 9th
er civilized Filipinos are neutral,
except where they are coerced by
armed bands of Tagalos, who seiz-
ed upon their governments during
the making end the ratification of
our peace treaty with Spain. 1t
would be incorrect to assume,
however, that these tribes are al.
lies of ours. They are not. In.
deed, they are not without suspi.
cion of the white race, of which
they have had experience only
through Spain. But there are
men of intelligence and property,
and the masses when not stirred
up by the Tagalos, recognize the
advantages to them of American
sovereignty and so remain neutral,
although robber bands from time
to time descend from the noun,
tains to plunder and burn estates
of the peaceful inhabitants of the
plains.
"Fourth, the insurrection,
though serious enough, as expe'
rience has proven, is not a nation.
al uprising. Indeed, there is nc
Philippine nation. AsI have al.
ready said, there is multifsriou,
connection of tribes they belong
to the Malay race. The inhabi,
The Lancaster ledger. [volume] (Lancaster, S.C.) 1852-1905, 1899-09-16

tants of the archipelago no more
constitute a nation than the inhab-
itants of the continent of Europe
do.
"Fifth, the United States hav-
ing assumed by a treaty of peace
with Spain sovereignty over the
archipelago, became responsible
for the maintainence of peace and
order, the administration of Jus.
tice, the seeurity of life and prop
erty among all the tribes of the
archipelago. This is an obliga.
ton which intelligent Filipinos,
not less than foreign nations, ex>
pect us to fulfill. Nor will the
national honor permit US to turn
back. In taking the Philippine
lsIan's, we annex great responsi
bility. The fact that the respon.
sibllity is heavier than most peo-
pie supposed, is no excuse for
failure to discharge it. | repeat
that the Philippine question is
essentially a question OF national
honor and Obligation"
In reply to inquiry whether any
thing was now left but to fight it
out, President Schurman said:
sin my opinion, much good
would be done by declaration on
the part of Congress of the for
eign government 10 be established
in the islands; or better still, let
Congress establish government
for the Philippine Islands and
have it put in force in all parts
and among all tribes hostile to the
United States. This would serve
several purposes. 1t would dis
tinguish between our friends and
enemies and treat the former &C
cording to their deserts. 1t would
also give our enemies a demon
stration of free government on the
American plan, a very important
point when it is remem bered that
the Tagalos claim t" be fighting
for their liberty. And l had bet
ter call attention to the fact that
the government which is we'll
adapted to one tribe may need
considerable modification to be
available for another.
Asked about the capacity of the
Filipino people to govern them
selves, President Schurman re,
piled that they had no experience
in self government, except in
municipal affairs and even these
were subject to the control of the
Spanish authorities. He thought,
however that each tribe might,
subject to the supervision of q
wise general government, manage
in the main its own municipal and
provincial affairs. Supervision
from Manila would vary with the
position which the different tribe.
occupied in the scale of civiiza
ton.
President Schurman seemed
firm in the conviction that some
form of home rule for each of The
tribes and under the watchfu
supervision of a general govern
ment at Manila, was the solution
of the problem.

a HAPPY REUNION

Henry Garrison and family arriv-
+ ed here on the 26th, from Durango,
Colorado, and will visit with his
brother and other relatives for about
a month, and then proceed on to
California where he expects to make
his future home.
Mr.. Henry Garrison and his
brother Ike came to this place in the
early 70's, and devoted their time to
mining, They discovered the Jack
rabbit mine at JackrabHit district in
n and disposed of the same to the
Day Mining Company for $40, 900
cash and ten thousand shares of
stock valued at that time at IS per
share. 1t is now known as the Day
mine and the report of experts sent
out to examine the property in 1890,
reported that there was ore in sight
estimated at not less than So, 900, 900.
Mr. Garrison after disposing of his
interest went east and visited various
sections and the last five years has
lived at Durango Colorado.
He finds many changes here, as
when he left here in the fall of 1877,
Pioche was a Aourishing town OF
1000 inhabitants, and two daily pa
pers were running, and on his re-
turn he finds about 800 inhabitance
and the town supporting weekly.
He noticed one particular shunge
which was for the better, and that
was the nice appearance the trees
gave the place, as when he left there
were no trees growing and now the
streets have beautiful shade trees,
and there are some fine lawns
In the East the money question
seems to be the paramount one, and
no doubt will be one of the main is
sues of the coming campaign of both
parties. He says the East is welded
to gold, from the mere fact that they
do not understand the manner in
which mining is conducted, the
majority of the people believing that
the extraction of silver from the
mountains, is akin to gathering veg
etables, and they have no conception
of the hardships to which miner is
subjected to in hunting for the preci-
Gus metals.
Mr.. and Mrs. Craw, mother and
father of Mrs. Henry Garrison were
delighted to see their daughter, who
they have not seen for twenty-one
years, as we'll as the rest of the fam
lily, and the family reunion was
most pleasant one.
