MANILA AND THE PHILIPPINES
The Subject Of the Latest Lecture Of Frank
r. Robertson.

The lecture of Frank r. Robertson on
the subject of Manila, proved to be q
most interesting one to those who at
tended when it was given at the Metho-
dist church, the first of February. The
lectures of this esteemed and able lee
turer, are always well received here in
Augusta. but this one was doubly so
on account of the fact of the hOstilities
that are now going on in that country
of which he speaks and presents views
that were taken under his personal
supervision.
Mr.. Robertson departed for Manila,
September Z. and returned, December
B. with a series of superb illustrations
upon Manila. He presents about 200
views, showing actual scenes of the
great events upon Manila bay. all
classes of the Filipinos and the marvel
ture would be well worth seeing if
Admiral Dewey had never attacked the
Spanish squadron but that makes it
doubly interesting. Until the present
year the PHILIPPINES have been an I'M
known land to nearly all the general
public, and all are now eager to learn
more of them. The conditions of the
army and navy in the East sare set
forth. He has just the kind of infor-
that tho rao6arc
during the last four or five months have
been searching for and have probably
not found elsewhere so conveniently
and systematically arranged. He
treats all sides of the political situa-
ton, but he never becomes in his lee
ture, so serious as to be dull He is as
everyone who has heard him, man
with a marvellous power of description
and remarkably witty
While he was at Manila he lunched
on the Olympia with Admiral Dewey
and his staff; he photographed Dewey
on his own quarterback; he met and
interviewed Admiral Montejo; he visit
ed and photographed all the Spanish
wrecks; interviwed the famous Agui-
naldo; interviewed General Otis: and
he took pictures of our troops as we'll
as the points of interest where the
senes of the battles now are. His
pictures are all in color. making them
true to life. He is to be at City hall,
Thursday evening.

NEW PENSION CUSTOMS.
Manner In Which the Checks Were Given Out
Saturday.

The custom Of having the pensioners go
10 the pension rooms in the postofficc
building, has been dispensed with and a
new mode of procedure adopted. Under
this new method the crowds of pension
ers remain in the postOffice corridor and
are not allowed to go up stairs at ALL On
the first landing of the stairs that lead to
the pension department, is placed a box
marked, Leave your vouchers here
Into this box the pensioners or whoever
comes to receive the pension. drops the
signed voucher. A clerk Of the depart
ment collects these every few minutes
and they are taken to the rooms above.
The check that is given upon the re-
ceipt Of the voucher is then placed in an
envelope and the whole lot at time.
are sent down to the postoffice where
they are postmarked. When the delivery
clerk in the postoffice has received lot
of them. he calls off the names of those
for whom he has received them, ana they
step forward and take them. This does
away with a lots of bother in the room
above and makes everything move as
smoothly as clock work, though it neces-
states in some cases, longer wait for
the pensioner. ,
I'ne scenes III the corridor, Saturday
morning, were not such as are seen there
every day, not even on pension day 1t
was wet and snowy without, and no one
cared to remain on the street who could
possibly remain inside. AT one time
about , O'Clock, there were fully $50 peo-
pie in the place of all sizes, ages and
classes. and of botn sexes. They re-
manned, here until they received their
check through the postoffice, each stand
ing by and eagerly waiting for their
name to be called by the clerk at the de-
livery window. SO that they could take
their check and depart to invest it as
they saw fit. .s9. "A
1t was not pleasant place to linger
long to any person who had no business
there, for the wet clothes with the odor
of onions. tobacco and now and then
fragrant alcoholic breath, made the at
mOsphere equal TO the average country
town meeting air.. There were happy
faces and sad faces, to be seen, but as a
rule on pension day, the pensioner or
his widow, whichever receives the pay,
tries to think only of the good that the
money will do them.

WAGES INCREASED.
Same Schedule as Before the Cut
Of 1898 to Be Followed.
Edwards Manufacturing Co. Demonstrated
Prosperity BY Beneiilting Employees.

The employees of the Edwards Manu-
featuring Co. in the large cotton mills.
are to have the benefit of the pros
perity that has slowly worked its way
other branches Of business. The wages
of these employees are to be placed
back to the original basis upon which
they were at the time Of the II Der
cent. cutdown in January 1885, the rise
to take effect. April 3. -
This action is due to the increased
brightness i'm the outlook of the cotton
trade. and though the directors of the
mill say that they have seen
the business when it looked bet
ter than it does now, they believe it
has improved enough to guarantee
them i'm raising the wages of their en-
ployes as they promised to do in case
there was any better outlook. At the
time the wages We're put down in Janu-
ary. 1898, many people were not at all
10th to say that they thought the wages
would never again rise. as Southern
competition would drive the Northern
mills to still lower reduce their. ex-
penses, but it seems otherwise.
This rise in the wages affects be-
tween 100 and 1900 employees and it
means quite Il little sum Of
money to them. The mill is now
running with full help and on full
time. the monthly, pay roll of the COM
pany being now about $4,000. and the
rise will make il nearly $500 more each
month, OF about $4,000 more each year
to be divided among the operatives.
This action of the Edwards Company
is in accordance with that of the mills
in Fall River and it is rumored the
other cotton mills of the State are con-
templating doing the same thing.
