On Feb. 5 the Filipinos began the
pr by attacking our lines at Manila.
There were three days of hard
81 hting, and then on Feb s the War

and natives returning to villages

ghting, interspersed with occas on.

Then on May 7 Secretary Alger

And on May 8 the War Department
Sput this upon its bulletin board:
Gen Otis cables: ''Signs of in
Isurgent weakness more apparent

AT intervals during the next fifteen
days similar bulletins -"aspect of
affairs favorable, "insurgeuts daily

Then on May 26 through the CEN
sorship at Manila came this dispatch
by Associated Press:
Manila, May 26.-The events OF
the week have emphasized the need
of q larger army here, without which
according to the best authorities at
Manilla, it would be attempting the
impossible to expect to establish
American supremacy in the Philip
pine Islands.
Two days later the official censor
at Manila let the Associated Press
correspondent send another beam
;of light into the situation:
Manila, May 28-The rebellion
seems to be takipg a new lease oil
life as the rainy season approaches.
The forces of Gems. Luna and Mas
cardo, which retreated, have return.
ed in force to their old trenches.
Opposite our lines protecting Ma
Mia on the south the Filipinos have
three rowe of trenches.
And where are we fighting today!
Why, almost within sight and
sound of Manila. The insurgents
are daily "disintergrating." We
nre losing just as many men in the
field as at first. And we are fighting
inst where we were at first.
What does "disintergrating" mean
according to the dictionaries in use
at Manila and Washington.

COL. BRIGHAM's LECTURE.
The Distinguished Speaker Entertained
and Instructed His Auditors very
Pleasantly.

Saturday evening at o'clock in
Commencement Hall, the Hon. Jos.
H. Brigham, United States Assist
ant Secetary of Agriculture, deliver
ed well received address to an
audience of about two hundred.
After musical selection by the
University Orchestra, which the
audience applauded heartily. Profess
sor Atkeson, Dean of the College of
Agriculture, introduced the dis
tinguished speaker in brief speech
which, Notwithstanding it's brevity,
struck the keynote for the evening.
by referring to the Secretary as the
first farmer who, as such, had adj
dressed an audience from the Uni
versity platform. For it was of the
farmer and the farm, of the funda-
mental Importance of agriculture to
our national prosperity and to all
social well being, and of the relation
of the United States and-grant col
leges of agriculture and mechanic
arts to the improvement of agricul
ture and OF the status of the farther
that Mr.. Brigham spoke.
The speakers powerful and pleas
ing voice and his commanding pres
ence he stands six feet, six inches
high, and weighs two hundred and
fifty pounds, without the slightest
suggestion OF corpulence) would
have insured favorable reception
for his speech even had it been less
entertaining; but as a matter of fact
he illustrated his points with such
good stories, so remarkably well told,
that the hearers were greatly pleased.
His story of Pats dinner, although
called out by point in the address,
was especially well told and quite
brought down the house.
The central point Of Mr.. Brig
hams thought was that the dislike Of
the farm, the desire of the young
people to get away from it, and the
contempt with which the farmer and
his life are too largely conducted:
and that for this state of affairs and
the resulting privations endured by
the agricultural class, the partial
neglect of their duty by the land
grant colleges, primarily instituted
in the interest of agriculture and me
chanic arts, is in some measure re-
sponsible The fact that the Assis-
tant Secretary is himself success
full farmer gave the greater force to
his contention that, if agriculture is
carried on in business-like way, in
the light of what science, through
the experiment stations and agricnl-
tnral colleges, can do for it, the
farmers family may enjoy as well as
the next one the good things of life,
both material and intellectual
In concluding his speech, Mr..
Brigham made an appeal to the pa
triotism and loyalty of his hearers
which was received with great APP
pearanee of enthusiasm

RE.OPENING SERVICES
On sunday at the Long Alley A. M. Il.
Church-The Debt Almost Wiped

Out.
The re-opening of Jones M. e.
chapel Rev. Chas. G. Cummings pas
tor were conducted on Sunday. The
pastor preached at II a. m. subject;
"Christian Freedom" The afternoon
services were very interesting. Hon.
w. T.. Wiley was the chairman.
The devotional exercises were conduct
ed by Rev. A. M. Buchanan and DR..
S. V. Leech. Ex-senator Wiley 10
his preliminary remarks spoke of the
great theological change in recent
years of the different protestant
churches toward each other. In the
past they were at daggers points: now
they have put aside theological differ
ences and are engaged in emphasizing
the great outstanding principles OF
christianity. Judge johnson spoke
of the remarkable progress made by
the colored people during the past
thirty-five years along religious, edu-
catIonal and industrial lines.
Prof. T. e. Hodges, emphasized the
thought that there should go out
from every church an uplifting moral
influence. Prof Douthat said there
was no aristocracy in this country,
every person who determines 10 rise
can do SO, if they will only. exercise
their efforts along all lines.
DR.. Leech had charge of the finance.
He was ably assisted by Prof. Hodges
and Rev. Buchanan. They were sue
cessful in raising $134 in cash and
subscriptions. The work cost 1913,
1925 were paid several weeks ago.
This leaves balance Of little over
sixty dollars, which 1t is hoped will
be raised during the week. All pres
ent congratulated the congregation
upon the beauty and tastefulness OF
the chapel.
The pastor thanked the pastors and
speakers for their help and all present
for their generous gifts.
The subject Of the evening sermon
was Personal Conservation.

To the Editor of the New DOMINION
In advocacy of the proposed M. &
X. railroad, the New DOMINION is
publishing some very clear and con-
vincing arguments, some of which are
just as applicable to Valley District
as to Morgan District. 1t would be
an excellent thing if the articles in
your paper could have wide reading
in this county. They would have a
good influence, especially among GER
tain people around Reedsville.
In your contemporary, Calvin Lyons
makes most doleful lamentatioD
about the dreadful (?) taxes in King
wood District. To read his letter,
one would think the W. V. N. was a
vampire, which is skinning the I'M
fortunate people of this district out
of everything they can earn. He
would have us believe that it is only
the railroad which is making any
money here; that every stray nickel
we can get hold of has to go for taxes,
especially ON railroad bonds.
Now the farm Mr.. Lyons owns in
this district contains l22 acres and
adjoins the best farm in the whole
district; namely the Ollie farm. On
this farm, Mr.. Lyons pays the fright
ful tax of $3.50 into the building

Cadets Wanted to go to Grafton But
The Train Did Not Concentration is

Grafton people are still sore at the
failure of the Cadet Corps to attend
the celebration up there but it is due
to no fault of the people here that the
boys in gray did not 60 OF course
we wanted them TO stay at home but
after it had been decided to go why Of
course we wanted to see them have
the very best time possible. The
fault was due to the people who did
not send the special train promised us
to take the boys up.
The Cadets went to the station and
waited several hours but no train
came and they marched back again.
They were disappointed as badly as
any one else and we do not know yet
who is to blame for the failure.
