OUR PRESIDENTS.

First stands the lofty Washington,
That noble, great, immortal one.
The elder Adams next we see;
And Jefferson comes number three.
Then Madison is fourth, you know.
The fifth one on the list, Monroe;
The sixth and Adams comes again.
And Jackson seventh in the train.
Van Buren, eighth along the line,
And Harrison counts number niue;
The tenth is Tyler, In his turn,
With Polk succeeding, as we learn.
The Twelfth is Taylor, brave In war,
And he IS followed by Fillmore;
Pierce is the fourteenth man we find;
The next Buchanan, keep in mind.
The sixteenth, Lincoln, was his name
And after him johnson came;
Thsn Grant, the eighteenth, served eigh
years.
Till, him succeeding. Hayes appears.
Now, twentieth on the roll of fame,
We see the patient Gatfield's name.
Next Arthur's quiet rule we view,
And Cleveland counts up twenty-five.
A Harrison did follow then,
Till Cleveland served term again;
And now Mckinley, plant tool,
Fills the Presidential stool.

WHY ENGLAND MUST WIN.

Great Britain's pride has been
stirred. Germany is laughing at her
and other nations are sneering at
her, and the British, to man, are
now determined that British valor
shall be yindicated.
But of far greater moment, the
very existence of the Empire is at
stake. Great Britain must fight this
war through TO successful issue, no
matter what the cost may be. 1t is
not merely question of conquering

YOUR PAPER.

Do you subscribe for your local
paper! If not, why not?
1t is deserving of and should re-
ceive your support
If it gives you all the state and
county news;
If it is well printed; and
If the price is reasonable.
Every man should take his local
paper, for, among other things
1t keeps you in touch with county
affairs;
1t keeps you posted as to the time
for paying taxes, the time for making
returns, the time of court, and the
time and place of all religious and
public meetings;
1t tells you what your neighbor is
doing, how crops are getting on,
who is married and who has died;
1t gives you hints about the farm
work, keeps you informed about the
state of the markets, aud tells YOU a
thousand and one things you want
to know;
1t teaches the children to take an
interest in affairs, and tells them
what is going on in the great, busy
world around them. They read it
with interest, and it is worth many
dollars worth of school books as an
educator.
Once its weekly visits have COM
menced, it will always be welcome,
and its coming looked forward to.
Your local paper needs your sup
port, because the more subscribers
paper has the more il can do for YOU.
The local paper is the spokesman
for the section in which it is pub
lished. 1t tells the world what is to
be found there, corrects misrepresen
tations, attracts capital, helps develop
the county, and jealously guards its
interests and good name.
A section is judged by its paper.
IF the paper is sloyenly printed, shows
lack of enterprise and culture, it
reacts against that section.
The VIRGINIA CITIZEN is the
established paper of Lancaster county,
the Northern Neck and the Kappa
hammock Valley. 1t has a large
number of correspondents, who keep
it's readers fully informed of ali that
transpires within this section, and is
the only nine-colamn-t to the-page
paper in the State. These columns
are necessarily longer than others,
and so afford more reading space.
The price is only 81 per year-less
than 2 cents a week.
1t is neatly printed; its advertise
ments are arranged to attract the eye;
and it endeavors to keep up with the
times, always having the best interests
of this section ut heart.
1t is our desire to increase our cir
culation of l,700, and to this end we
call on our friends to help us. If
you are already subscriber to the
CITIZEN say good word for us to
your neighbor who is not. If you
are not now a subscriber, let us send
you a sample copy; or, better still,
send us Rs cents and we will send
you the paper for three months on
trial.

HOW SOUTH CAROLINA FOUGHT.
Practically All Her Men Bore Arms
For Confederacy.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Jan. 1.-THE
report of Col. John p. Thomas, who
for several years ms Confederate War
Historian for this State has been col
Letting Confederate rolls and other
data, will 5e made to the General AS
sembly in few days.
The records show that South Car
clina put into the Confederate army
81 regiments and / battalions of in
fantry, z regiments and l squadron
and l company of cavalry aud reg
iments, battalions and 10 unat-
tached batteries of artillery-in all
499 companies.
There were 44,32S enrolled infan-
try, 3S,314 being effective; 1907 en-
rolled cavalry, SOFA being effective;
1928 enrolled artillery, 1862 being
effective-a total Of 6I,60S enrolled
aud 52,965 effective troops.
In addition to these there were so
companies of State troops, or reserves,
with an enrolment Of 4,944. The
historian says there were - additional
Regiments of reserves not carried on
the rolls, and adds: "Making the
moderate estimate that the truth of
history warrants, that per cent. of
Confederate and 20 per cent. of State
troops are not carried on the rolls,
it further appears that South Carolina
gave to the Confederacy 7l,093 Of
fcers and men enrolled, or 62, ,S3S
effective"
The historian remarks that the
manner in which the State holding
the "cradle of secession" stood by
her pledges of 1860 is exemplified
when the fact is known that in 1860
the voting population was 10000.
The States contributions to the
signal corps, the blockade runners
and the navy are not included in the
figures given.
South Carolina furnished five lieu
tenant generals and six major-gener-
ais to the Confederate service.
Deaths in battle, from wounds and
disease and in prison, so far as the rec
ords show, were as follows: Infantry
1913; cavalry, 1,467; artillery, 7It
total, 20,1Ol. But the historian
finds that 26 infantry companies
make no report of "diel in battle oil
from wounds;" 43 no report of "dieC
from disease" 167 no report of "diet
in prison." and 40 no report ol
"wounded.' The same incomplete
ness appears IN the artillery report
Applying the averages to those com
mands from which there are no re
ports, he finds that the infantry los
was q, ,l46; cavalry, 1,73s; artiller,
!, 1868. He adds: making the 'tota
? effective in each arm of the seryic
) the basis of percentage, the resul
t would be: Infantry loss, 52.7 pc
cent; cavalry. 2O.7; artillery, IL pc
3 cent. That is, the casualties in wa
were more than one-half of the tota
: effective infantry, more than one fiftl
of the cavalry and more than one
E sixth of the artillery"

MONEY QUESTION.

MONEY QUESTION.
"But this is only one question.
am going to speak of another ques-
ton which shows how the Republi-
can party is looking after the inter
ests of wealth and neglecting the
Welfare of the. people. l am going
to say word on the money question.
| know they say that the money
question is dead issue, but, my
friends, silver has been buried SO
often that q little thing like afuueral
does not bother us like it used to.
"When we join ourselves to the
gold standard; when we make gold
alone the legal tender for the pay
ment of debts, we connect ourselves
with every disturbance IN Europe and
make ourselves dependant upon their
conditions for our prosperity.
"You tell ME it is sound system?
1t is false; that system is not sound.
Tell me it is an American system?
1t is lie; there is no such American
system that makes us tremble every
time there is trouble among the gold
standard countries of the old world"
TRUSTS.
After fully discussing the cur
rency question, Mr.. Bryan took up
the trusts, which he discussed at
great length, insisting that the Re
publican party bad no intention
whatever of interfering with such
corporations under any circum-
stances.
From the trusts he passed to dis
cussion of the standing amy, and
declared that the presence of 100000
soldiers in this country and the Phil
ippines was but step toward mill
tarism.
"You cannot find an argument"
said he, "for the permanent holding
of the Philippine Islands that would
not apply to Cuba" THE Free

EXPLAINED BY DR.. FAUDE

Recently Appointed Commit
tee, Discusses the Pro-
posed Plan.
RLCEt'S MINNEAPOLIS OFFICE
" 20 WASHINGTON Az SOUTH

Protestant Episcopal bishops in large
centers of population are finding them
selves so overwhelmed with work that
they are faVorlng movement to provide
their religious body with bishops suf-
tragan or assistant bishops. There was
held In New York, within the last ten
days, q prolonged conference on the
subject, for the double purpose Of find
ing out just how great the demand for
them is, and what form the canon au-
thorizing them ought to bear Correspon-
dence has been going on for some time
and further personal conferences are to
be held. The committee on the matter
consists of the Rev j. j. Faude of
Gethsemane church, Minneapolis, chair
man; the Rev. DR.. c. A. L. Richards.
St Johns, Providence the Rev. Dr. F.
p. Davenport, Calvary, Memphis, and the
Messrs. II. M. North, diocese of central
Pennsylvania and ]. NJ Brown, diocese
Of Maine.
There is a good deal of opposition in
the Episcopal church in the United States
to bishops suffragan, but upon this point
the chairman of the committee the Rev.
DIT. Faude, of Minneapolis, says:
II ought not to be concluded in adj
vance that bishops Suffragan in the Unit
ed states must be the bishops suffragan
OF England. There can be American suf-
tragans, not English ones. We ought
not 10 throw away possible relief on ac-
count OF a name. The charge Is made
that suffragans will not command the
pest NEIL The answer is that in Eng
land such positions command able men.
Our church must do something, it seems
to me, in these large centers of popula-
ton. Her interests are neglected now
because it is physically out of the ques-
ton for one diocesan to attend to so
many matters as come upon him. 1
have looked into the matter and the more
l do so the more l am convinced that
there must be some form of assistance.
Bishops sufrragan are suggested as the
best form. If there is anything better,
let somebody bring the plan forward"
1t should be explained that bishop
suffragan is an assistant diocesan, In a
spiritual sense possessing all of the pow
er of the bishop of the diocese, but with
out the right to succeed in the event Of
the diOcesan's death or disability, which
pertains to a coadiutor

with reference to his nomination for the

City on July for the purpose of Jointly
considering the vice presidential nomina-
ton. This opinion was freely communi-

While it was in session. In the exercise
of its discretion, however, it decided diff

reached to nominate a candidate, the

FILIPINO PLAN OF PEACE
SENIOR BUENCAMINO OUTLINES 1T
IN FULLEST DETAIL.

MANILA, May 11.-Senor Buencamino,
at one time a member of the so-called
Filipino republican cabinet, who was re-
Gently liberated by Gen. Otis, announces
that he has become reconciled to Amer
lean sovereignty, and that he will de-
velop his influence to bring about peace.
He has sent a proposed peace platform
for the national Filipino party to the in
surgent leaders in Manila, and to the in
surgent generals, including Aguinaldo, in
the field
This platform declares that 1t is mpos-
sible for the Filipinos to exist as a ma
ton without the protection of the United
States, and consequently they must rec
ognize American sovereignty, and strive
to attain, under a constitution, the ut
most liberty possible. Continuing, Senior
Buencamino urges that the Filipinos are
incapable of government. He says:
I'm our Independent government the
most predominant notes were abuse and
immoralities, the Offsprings of ignorance
and the inherited vices of Spain. by which
the Filipino regime was rendered odious
to our own people.
Therefore, he contends, American con
troll is necessary to prevent civil strife.
He recommends to the national Filipino
party the adoption of a programme en-
bodying the following features:
First-Recognition of the sovereignty
of the United States cessation of hoStll-
tues and cooperation of the F1lipinos in
the prosecution of bandits who continue
depredat1ons in the name of independ-
ence.
Sccond-A request for a declaration by
the United States government guarantee
ing to the Filipinos personal liberties and
rights under the constitution.
Thfrd-A Filipino representative dele
cation to present to the American con-
gress and public the desires of the Fill
pinos respecting political status.
FOurth-The application of a part of
the public funds to the maintenance of
hospitals for sick and wounded Filipinos
ana for the establishment of schools.
Fifth-The transfer of the insurgent
funds to the American treasury
Sixth-The establishment of a perma-
nent system of Filipino representatives to
the civil commission.
Seventh-The exclusion of friars from
the administration of parishes
Discussing the political outlook with
the correspondent Of the Associated
Press, Senior Buencamino today said:
There are three elements in the Phil
ippines which obstruct the attainment Of
peace. The first Is the body of Filipino
agitators in Manila who are continually
shouting for independence and who thus
influence the ignorant masses The sec
ond is the friars, who desire prolonga-
ton of hostilities, because in peace be-
tween the Filipinos and the United
States they see the end Of their prestige
and the ultimate loss of their properties
and holdings. The third element Is -
Suppressed by the censor)
IF the civil commission bring liberal
ideas and will approach AguinaIdo to-
day the idolized leader of the Filipinos.
and other leaders still fighting in q. man
ner that will make it possible for them
to surrender and still maintain the hon
or of themselves and followers, then
peace will be established In few weeks. -
