Serious Fighting Almost In

And 100, 900 Men Will be Need
ed For Philippines. Law
tons Predictions Veri-
fed.

Manila, June IL.
solhaea" is the demand. which. is
comiug to Gen Macarthur from
every department of the islands.
Recent events have worked to
vindicate Gen Lawton's judgment
that 100, 200 troops will be need
ed to establish American sover-
elgnty over the Philippines.
Until they attempted to hold
provinces of two or three hundred
thousand hostile people with
regiment or two, the American
commanders hardly realized the
size of the Philippine islands.
The present force is not large
enough to garrison more than
half the important towns, and in
some of the most important ISL
ands, among them Cehu, Panay,
Samar, Lcyte and the great
Mohammedan empire of Mindanao,
only the commercial ports are
occupied. The Molos are a
cloud on the horizon.
Officers best acquainted with
conditions IN Minranao and the
Sulu islands tell the Associated
Press correspondent that they
consider serious fighting there in
evitable If it comes the two
regiments which are scattered in
small garrisons, some of them
hundreds of miles apart, along the
coast of Mindanao, an island near
ly as large as Luzon, may have SER
ious work. The MorOs are fighters
by nature, do not fear death, have
man " guns, though of antiquated
makes, but do the best execution
by lying in the thick jungles and
cutting down soldiers who pass
through, with terrible knives and
spears.

Special to The State.
Greenwood, July 15-Willie
Goroe, 16 years old, son of Mr..
w & Gores, who lives about two
miles north of the city, was shot
last night by negro, ard it is
thought will die.
The negroes had a barbecue
yesterday near Mr.. Goree's place
and invited a number Of the white
people to come and partake of the
cue. Young Gorce Was among
those who went. According to
the story told here today, the
white people had left the place
and started home without there
having been any unplessantness,
when negro named Jim Payne,
n mulatto, apparently about 90
years old, started after them, say
ing, "The d-n white people had
no business there" and as he
caught up with the crowd in the
big road short distance away,
pulled his pistol and fired five
times. Goree was hit by every
ball. His right leg was broken
in two places between the knee
and hip, and he was wounded also
in the left leg, in the right side
and in the lower bowels. He is
alive this afternoon but it is said
there is no possible chance for his
recovery.
The negro Payne was arrested
and lodged in Jail this morning.
He denies his guilt, and says he
was not at the barbecue. The
evidence against him though is
direct.
Later, Sis p mThe sheriff
sent the prisoner to Columbia on
the night train for safekeeping to
prevent lynching. A NC.
