GENERAL AGUINALDO
KICKS.
Bills Manila With a Manifesto.
lie Protests Against Con. Otis
Signing Himself Mi itary
Governor.

Manila, Jan. T.-Withir . few
hours after the proclamation is
sued by Major General Otis in be-
half of President Mckinley, the
agents Of Aguinaldo bilIed Manila
with manifesto which attracted
considerable attention. The revo-
lutionsry President protested
against General Otis signing him
self as military governor of the
Philippine Islands.
Aguinaldo, in his manifesto, de-
clarsd he had never agreed at
Singapore, Hong Kong or else
whore, 30 recognize the .overeignty
of the Americans here 1.d insists
that he returned to the Philip
pines ON an American ship solely
to conquer The Spanisrds and wla
independence. He asserts that
both his proclamations, on May
2Ath aad June 12th, stated this
fact officially and he claims that
Major General Merritt confirmed
this by = proclamation several
days before the Spaniards cspitu.
lated, saying clearly and definitely
that the American forces came to
overthrow tho Spanish govern
msnt and libsrats the Filipinos.
In conclusion, Aguinsldo declared
that he hsd natives and foreigners
as Witnesses that the American
forc..;> recognized not only by acts
that tho Filipinos were belligsr-
ents, but by publicly ssluting the
Filipino flag "as it triumphantIy y
sailed those seas before the syes
OF oil nations.
Aguinaldo then solemnly pro
tested, in tho name of tho Deity,
who empowered him to direct his
br sthrea in the difficult task OF
regeneration, against the intrusion
Of the American government, and
reiterated that he can produce
proof that he was brought hero no
the understanding that tho Ameri-
cans promised him their co. oper
tian to attain Independence.
The revolutionary leader then
called upon sll his followers to
work together with force and as
sures them he is convinced that
they will obtain absolute indspsnd-
ence and urging them never to re-
turn "fron the glorious road on
which they have already so far sd-
vanced."
Major General Otis attaches no
importance to tho manifesto. He
says be feels confident that the
opinion of tho better classes of the
Filipinos is not expl essed in it, but
as to whether the Filipino masses
can bo controlled and the Filipino
army kept in check, he doe. not
know, although he nopes for = pa
cific outcome OF the trouble.

A LYNCHED MANS MOTHER
SUES.
Brings Action for $4,000 Dam
ages Against the County Of
Anderson Under the State
Law.
Specia., to Tho State.

cHh. u L lllS
Harriss, ~ administr atri1 Of tho
estate OF Ebert Harris, deceased,
has entered suit against the coun-
ty of Anderson for damages In
the sum of $40, 900, this amount
being alleged - exemplary dam
ages for whi,h tho county 10 liable
to the plaintiff as the legal repre-
sentative Of the person iynchsd.
The case promises to be q very
interesting ono, and the result
will doubtless be awaited with
much anxiety. Tho papers have
just bssn filed in the offioe Of tho
clerk Of court and service duly
made on w. P. SneIgrove, coun-
ty supervisor. Messrs. Quattls-
baum and Cochran have bssn re-
tanned ss counsel for plaintiff and
hays filed their complaint in the
case.
The plaintiff is = negroes, and
the dsceased WAS her son. Last
spring several stores at Iva, only
. short distance from this place,
were broken into and many goods
stolen, one ginnery was burned,
sad also the depot at Barns, four
miles below here, Vas dsstroysd
by fire, and oil the evidence,
though Of cireumstantisl nature,
strongly pointed to Elbsrt Har'
ris - tho offender. Such law.
lessness greatly exasperstsd the
citizens of the immediate section
in which the crimes were con
mitted, and they determined to
apprshsnd tho guilty party, or
PAL Itiss, if possible. So on the
morning of the goth Of May, the
day sfter the destruction OF Simp
sons ginpsry by fire, Ebert Hsr-
ris was arrested on \ charge OF
arson and taken before Magistrate
Jackson of Iva, where . prelimi-
nary hearing Was given the pris-
oner, after which tho case was
sent to the court of general sss-
sions. In default of bond, .
warrant of commitment was issued
and A. w. Mccullough was duly
appointed . special constable and
given charge Of the prisoner and
started for the county Jail. While
en- route to Anderson, and ouly q
very short distance above Iva,
the constable WAS approached by
. mob, which overpowsrsd him
the prisoner was taken from the
custody Of the officer and severely
bestsn and wounded, from the
effects of which he died O. May
"a, 1898.
This suit is apparently based
upon section 6 of Ihe constitu- :
ton, which provides for such
cases a. follows:
"In all cases of Iynohing, when
death snsuss, tho county whore
such lynching takes place shall
without regard to the conduct
of the officers, be liable in
exemplary damages of not less
than 81, 600 to the legal represent
ativss of the person so lynehsd.
Provided, further, That any
county against which = judgment
has been obtained for damages in
csss of lynchiag shall have the
right to recover the amount of
said judgment from the parties
engaged in said lynching in any
court Of competent jurisdiction. :"
The merits of the case rosts
upon this section, and the legal
fight will be made thereon.

. STAMP COLLECTING.

In q recent auction sale at London
the amount realized for q set of four
surcharged unpaid letter stamps of
Grenada of 1892 Il and 2 p. on and
p.) was SOS. In recent European eata-
logues these four stamps were priced
at SIS for the unused and 50 for the
used set.
The Cuban special design envelope
has been printed and dispatched to its
destination. The set is quite attractive
and will undoubtedly become very pop
ular, as it consists of but three varieties,
which will be easily within the means OF
all collectors. The design is the same
for all, only differing in color.
A novel way of surcharging postage
stamps is reported by Timbre-Post al
having been introduced in Pahang, one
of the native states comprised among
the Straits Settlements. The five-cent
stamp of 1892 has been cut in two, and
one-half surcharged two cents" while
the other half received the surcharge
''three cents" This is the first time
halved stamps have been surcharged
with different values for the two halves
The decision to print these stamps to
be supplied to the Island of Guam was
made in very short time, and they had
to be finished at one days notice. There
was no time to make an electrotype mol
to order any special kind of type from
the government printing Office, so the
most suitable variety on hand was SET
up 100 different times and the stamps
surcharged "Guam." 1t is said that an
the type was from the same mould, but
In the rush there will surely be some er

UNUSED RESOURCES.
ers Learn to Utilize Ala
Their Resources.

Farming never pays some farmers,
and lever will. They do nof make use
of their resources. There are mines
that they never, touch, or II they do.
they are satisfied with working the
surface and letting the riches UNDER
meath go. No business can sustain it
self if conducted as rany farmers
conduct their farms. The cows arc
usually the s0rce of loss, more often
perhaps than any other one thing up
on the farm. The herd is never tested
and from year to year is eating its
owner further into poverty and dis
enlargement. If city people had to
pay as much for their milk and butter
as thousands of farm families pay for
theirs, there would be riot, severa,
of them. 1t is nonsense 10 say that
cows are a side issue and are not cx-
pected to pay. If they do not pay they
ought not to be kept. 1t is not BUSH
ness to keep cows to produce milk,
cream and butter when these things
can be bought much cheaper than the
cows are producing them.
A neighbor of ours was induced To
test his cows. The herd consisted Of
seven cows. In six months he was sat
isfied that he was suffering an annual
dead loss on his. herd of nearly $40.
There was not profitable cow in the
herd. He wisely concluded that farm
ing was not business that could
stand leak like that, and he sold the
whole lot and bought four good cows.
Far better have one good cow that is
paying for her keep and something
more than ten that are running you
into debt. That is an ol6 and frequent
ly-repeated truth, and yet the fact re-
mains that one-half The cows in the
country lose money for their owners.
If anybody can tell how to arouse
farmers from their unaccountable
lethargy in such matters, he will prove
one of the greatest benefactors to ag-
riculture and the country that either
has ever seen. Even the cows that are
kept for the express purpose of sup
plying the creameries and factories
with cream and milk, are nowhere
near what they ought to be; not halt
what they ought to be, taken as
whole; and if men who keep cows fovs
the express object of utilizing their
products for the purpose of gain, can
not be led to see what folly it is to
keep anything but the best, how can
we hope to reach the owners of mil
lions of COWS that are Simp1v kent M

FARMER PLANTER.
BACON HOG EXPERIENCE.
What the Bacon Hog Has Done in
the Hands of Pennsylvania
Farmers.

There are number of small herds
OF the bacon breeds in this stae at
present, and as 1 have had some ex-
perience with bacon hogs for the past
two years it will, perhaps, be of in
terest to the readers to know what
the bacon hog has done in the hands
OF Pennsylvania farmers. My expert
ence is given in the hope that others
who have given either the Tamworth
or Improved Yorkshire a trial will
give us the benefit of their experience.
l have found that under conditions
not the most favorable, the bacon
hog has proven himself to be all that
was claimed for him, in that he is a
thrifty, quiet dispositioned animal,
and one that will give good account
of himself in the feed lot with other
breeds. So far as have been able to
observe, the meat of the bacon hog
has much more lean in it than the
thicker, blocker hogs; as one farmer
expressed il, who had killed few
pure-breds and number of grades,
1.-THE meat looked like beef"
The sows are good mothers, and
bring forth large filters. The are
good grazers, and do well in cleaning
stubble fields. AS breed to grade up
with, they have proven very satisfac-
cory indeed. The haif-blood litters
have been strong and vigorous. The
farmers using our boars have been
very much pleased with the result and
without exception have been won to
the bacon hog.
In spite of all his good qualities.
however, the bacon hog has some
qualities which are serious drawback
to his becoming popular favCrite.
In the first place he has slim Ness;
and light jowl which give the casual
observer the idea that the pig has a
large head. AS the snout is tine and
the jowl light the head is not large as
one would think. We recently killed
barrow that dressed 4s6 pounds and
whose head weighed but 81 pounds.
The average head would have weighed
80 pounds. Again, the ham and the
shoulder of the bacon hog are not 50
large as those other breeds Standing
well upon his legs, he does not hi m
down SO well as the thick, fat .,cg. 1t
should be remembered, howeycf, hat
it is impossible to have a hog all ham
and shoulder and that very thick.
heavy ham necessitates large per-
centdge of lard, both on the ham aud
= l.
is perhaps deficient in total weight of
lam produced he compcns;tes for it in
the quality of lean meat in it and in
tho side meat.-H. Hayward, in Ma
tional Stockman.
