A Silver Wedding" on Hartland

An especially pleasant occasion
was that which called together Il
large party of the relatives and
friends of MIR. and Mrs. Chas. b.
Colby at their home on Hartland
Hill Friday evening, Sept. 1, it be-
ing the twenty-fifth anniversary OF
their marriage-their "silver we'd
ding" MIR. and Mrs. Colby had
been kept in total ignorance of the
affair and many and varied had been
the sly winks and preparations made
almost in their very presence. Mrs.
Colby had an urgent request to
make long promised visit on that
day, while the man of the house
was somewhat ratified by the appear
ance of more than the usual number
of callers during his supper hour /;
but the company grew until the
rooms were filled with happy
party who made it pleasant for Mrs.
Colby on her arrival home.
The many valuable and useful
presents received testify in some
measure to the esteem in which this
honest and worthy couple are held
bv al! who know them. The pres
entation speech was made by Rev.
NJ. T. Morrill, in his happy way and
responded to by MIR. Colby IN few
words of deep appreciation. A
social time for the older people and
games for the younger rounded out
an evening full of pleasure, and
amid hopes that the future years
would all bring happiness and pros
perity, perhaps II golden wedding,
the last good-byes and good-nishts
were given.

Promptly on the return of the
"Peace commission" from the Phil
ippines go $4,000 new ,,fles with
which to conclude the settlement of
the muddle in far east. The com
mission accomplished nothing, so
far as is known, nor did the COM
missioners have power to do what
diplomacy might have done in deal
ing with the natives. "Morc diplo-
macy and less shotgun" General
Funston's terse comment on the con-
dition of affairs, is policy quite
foreign to the administrations plans
apparently; Mckinley simply says,
unconditional surrender" and this
is the sum and substance of his in
tentlons towards the Filipinos.
Everything done SO far towards ex-
tending the "blesslngs of civillza-
ton" has only resulted in more and
more embittering the natives toward
this government and increasing the
cost in lives and money of their final
subjugation.
An Old Home Week for Vermont.
The successful Inauguration of an
"Old Home Week" IN New Hamp-
shire should suggest that Vermont
ers go and do likewise. We can't
be first, but we can be the first to
see and initiate good thing.
No state has more loyal sons than
Vermont, and every sons bosom has
expanded an inch since Dewey of
Vermont took Manila. The sons of
Vermont like to visit their old
homes, and the mother state should
arrange to give them hearty and
official welcome. The sons some
times buy deserted farm, and later
cows and mems, and seem to enjoy
losing money OH them. This also
amuses Vermonters and keeps them
employed. Vermont can not have
her sons come back too much or too
often. She loves them for the
money they have made and the fame
won, and mostly because they are
her sons. Let us have a Dewey
day and Bennington day if we
must; but first of all an "Old Home
Week." And we can have it at the
same time as New Hampshire with
out causing hard feelings, and per-
haps with reduced railroad rates.

WHITE GAPS AT WORK.
Reign of Terror In south Carolina
Governor VIII Take n Hand.

Governor VIII Take HAND.
Greenwood, s. c., Aug. 17.-Sincc
Monday night of last week gang of
White Caps has been almost nightly
whipping negroes in this county. Inc
scene of operations is between Green
wood, the courthouse town, and PhenlN,
the little country village where the cleo
ton riots of last November took place.
The farms are owned principally by
white planters, many of whom rent to
negroes, and the community is conse-
quently thickly settled by negroes. 1t
was in this district that white man
named Etheridge was killed at the polls
by negroes led by white Republicans
and several negroes were lynched.
Since last fall the country has never
had absolute quiet, but there have been
no political disturbances. Certain white
men, however, wishing to obtain at low
figure the fertile land, have organized to
drive out the negro tenants whose pres
ence is so valuable to the large land
land owners. On Monday night, Aug. Z,
the gang began operations and visited
several negro houses, the inmates being
taken out and beaten. On the following
Wednesday night this was repeated, and
1t has occurred several nights since.
The negroes are in a state of terror,
and they now spend the nights either in
the woods and swamps or at the houses
Of their lieldlords Many of them ha te
come to this town and refuse to return
to their homes. On Saturday night POO
negroes spent the night here.
The sheriff has telegraphed to the gov.
ernor for assistance. 1t is expected that
Governor McSweeney and the attorney
general will arrive here at once.
