Theory VS., Practice.

A republican member of Congress
from Massachusetts has introduced in
the house of representatives bill to pay
the family OF Baker, the colored post
master of Lake City, S. G who was
assassinated by unknown persons, the
sum of eight dollars per month, alleging
that the family is in dire need, wanting
even the necessaries of life. 1t will be
remembered that when this murder
occurred, great demonstration of in
dignation was made in Massachusetts,
and young lady of Boston went to
Charleston, s. G., and brought back
with her to Boston the family of the
deceased official FOR the expressed pur-
pose of giving the south an object lesson
of the manner in which the negro
should be treated. If Boston is so
solicitous concefningthe welfare of this
race, why does it not provide for the
sustenance of this family, especially as
it was brought there under promise of
support? Has New England philan-
thropy been dissipated by contact with
the negro, and does that section love
him best when'he is in the south ?

Mr.. j. L. Berry. of Hampton, Ga,
was in the city recently, selling a
prolific cotton seed, of volunteer stalk
that grew in his garden which has
proven success in big bolls and abund-
ant yields, forty average bolls weighed
one pound in yield of cotton last year.
The fibre is extra fine, soft and silky.
1t is thought four bales to the acre can
be produced by the use of these seed .
Mr.. Berry has only limited quantity
for sale-one hundred for one dollar.
He is a reliable man, well-known in
this country, and orders sent TO him at
Hampton, Ga. will receive prompt at
tention.

A MELANGE OF
LIVE TOPICS

by a Local Scribe.
The Prohibition Issue.

The State Democratic executive COM
mittee has decided that it has no au-
thority to submit TO the general primary
Of the people the prohibition question,
notwithstanding that this was the burn
ing issue before the last legislature,
and as the vote and speeches on the
Willingham bill showed it had the sane
ton of four-fifths at least of the people
Of Georgia there being demand from
every section Of the state that it be
passed. l do not understand how the
committee decided that the people
might vote direct for United States
Senator in response to popular request
for this privilege, and at the same time,
refuse to allow them to vote on prohi-
bition when the people with far more
unanimity and earnestness asked for
this power The committee should
have been consistent, especially as
there is no legal authority Tor the
nomination of federal senators by a
popular vote. Are the cities and the
liquor interests taking time by the
farelock to get in their work? Are
they afraid Of the people
One thing is certain, this action of
the executive committee does not set
tie the matter. If the object cannot
be reached in any other way a demo-
crat pledged to vote for prohibition will
be run in every county and senatorial
district in the state.

We left Manila at night and awoke 10

great island OF Mindoro. We kept L IN

smoky mountains rising IN places al
most straight from the waters edge,
and rolling one over the other until
they lost themselves In the clouds. We
were not near enough 10 distinguish
the character Of the land or It's vegeta-
ton. but could tell that the mountains

the forests are full Of mahogany teak
and other valuable trees. The island Is
one Of the largest OF the Philippines

Is bigger than the State OF Connecticut
and has a population Of about 100000,
almost all Of whom are sayages. There
is one town which has about 5000 peo-
pie, but the most Of the inhabitants live

subsist upon roots, fruit and such FISH

ON A MULE TRANSPORT.
Our ship Is like nothing you see on
the Atlantic. II Is a vessel as long az
a city block and so wide that Il would
nm the ordinary street from one side
10 the other Il has three stories de-
voted 90 mule stalls and vast hold be-
low this IN which hundreds Of tons OF
hay oats and other cargo are stored
The ship Is so high indeed that az Il

would be about even with the fifth
story fats. and when the mules are
taken out 60 exercise upon Il they are
almost twice as high up in the air as
the roof Of a twO-story house.
When / came on the ship ! was told
that I should have 20 rough n. and was
urged by the captain not 20 go. / was
told that there We're plenty OF comforts
for the mules, but none for passengers.
and that / should have 20 sleep on the
deck. l replied that az this was my

the use Of the war department.
RICH PLAINS AND UNEMPLOYED
MOUNTAINS.
Panay Is Of the shape Of an equllateral
triangle. IL looks small on our maps
Vt the Philippines but each side Of IL
ig almost 100 miles long and altogether
it has more than half as much land as
the State OF Massachusetts. II Is a
land Of mountains and valleys Low
ranges cut II up into three great parts,
represented by lis three provinces, An
tique at the west Capiz at the north
and Hello at the south. with It's dis
trict Conception adjoining It on the
east
All Of these provinces are much the
same In character. being rolling hills,
mountains and valley plains. The
mountains have some wood, but not
the fine timber OF Mlndanao, Mlndoro
and parts Of Luzon. The plains are the
only parts much cultivated, and many
Of them are unused. The war has ruined
many of the farms. and you see burned
sugar mills here and there. The Coun-
ty is still filled with bandits and guer-
rlllas, and neither lie nor property Is
safe from them. The Tagalos who came
here have united with the lawess
among the Nisayans and they go over
the island In bands OF anywhere from
half a dozen 20 several hundreds, burn
ing and stealing and committing all
sorts Of uncomfortable outrages. It
will. ! am told take a large force to
preserve order, and the entire settle
ment Of the island viii probably not be
secured for months to come.
ALAND OF COCOANUTs AND RICE
The character Of Panay makes It a
hard country for campaigning. The
country Is well watered, being cut up
by streams as many as the veins Of a
leaf These streams In the wet season
food the lOwlands and turn them into
a vast lake, above which, when the
rain ceases, the little green walls Of
the rice fields appear IL is impossible
10 ride over the fields at this time, and,
Indeed almost Impossible to do so with
an American horse or mule at any time.
When the fields dry with the dry sea-
son they do so only on top, so that
what seems solid ground is only a crust
This crust viii support a little Filipino
pony but a mule will break through a.,
ana before you know 1t you VIII find
that he has sunken ~ 20 his ears In
the mud. The ouly animals that can
be used 20 work such lands are the
water buffalOes, who wall0w along
half swimming through the mud as
they drag the rude bamboo harrows or
pl0ws preparing the fields for rice
planting. Even the military road
which the Spanish built Is little more
than q crust Where II Is broken there
are unfathomable mudholes making Il
impossible for teams The rice Is
planted In the water and II receives
little cultivation.
I went with Lieut.. Van Deman for a
ride into the country today, and he
showed me lands which were, he said,
typical Of all lowlands Of Panay. They
were little patches Of black mud In

for time with their faces toward the
sea, ln order that they may see the
Wild ocean as % rolls. They are care
fully inspected every morning. and
their temperature ls taken four times
a day by the mule doctor II they are
not just right they get a dose OF medl-
cine az once. and are more carefully
led. As a result the mules are today
IN better condition than when they left
Seattle three months ago. They have
Weatbered some OF the most terrible Of
ocean storms, have been sea sick and
battered about and stlll only Ave have
been lost In the cargo Of FIVE hundred
and nine.
100000 WORTH OF MULES.
The cargo Of one Of these transports
is valuable one. a mule By the time
20 gets 10 the Philippines costs Uncle
Sam az least 500 and the number on
board the Port Stephens Is worth at
least 100000 Some OF them have come
fromPuerto Rico, having been Sent from
San Juan and Ponce 10 Washington
and thence forwarded clear across the
continent 20 Seattle, 80 mat they have
Travelled something like 1000 miles IN
coming 10 Manila. Others came direct
from Kentucky and Missouri. but all

care OF them.
The captain quarterma ster who has
charge OF them had much 20 do with
carrying the horses and mules for our
armies In Cuba and Puerto Rico. He Is

In this branch OF the department.
This shin has been fitted no accord
Ing 10 Capt Byron's directions. II has
ventllaung fans, which draw In fresh
air 10 the stables. and az the same time
the foul air is taken out The air Of the
hold Of the steamer Is thus kept as
fresh as that Of the deck and with the
washing and cleaning of the stalls with
the hose every morning, there Is no
more smell about the steamer than In a
Dutch kitchen.
