Good Farming In Davie County.
Mocksville Times.

On 30 acres of land, in one solid body
j. +. hatledgs made 1 100 bushels Of
corn. Mr. Ratledge bought this land
one year ago and p i'd s25 per acre, so
this Years crop more than pays for the
20 acres bought In the tract there
was 81 acres and should the whole
amount have been in corn It would
come near paying for itself and the O ,st
Of production. Consideri & that all
crops were short this year there would
seem to be little money in farming
yet.

IN THE PHILIPPINES.
General MaCArthur'S Annual Report
on the Conduct of the War
and the State of Affairs.

regular operations against concentrated
field forces of insurrectionists.
General Macarthur speaks in the
highest terms of the service rendered
by the troops amid all labors and hard
ships.
1.-The FilipiDos.' says General Mac
Arthur, "are not warlike or ferocious
people. Left to themselves, a. large
number of them would gladly accept
American supremacy which they are
gradually coming to understand means
individual liberty and absolute securi-
ty in their lives and property. They
have been maddened, however, during
the past five years by rhetorical
sophistry and stimulants applied to
national pride, until the power of dis
eliminating in matters of public con-
Germ or private interest has been al
most entirely suspended. AS a subSti-
.tute for all other considerations, the
people seem to be actuated by the idea
that in all doubtful matters of politics
or war, men are never nearer right
than when going with their own hth
and kin, regardless of consequences" {"
The effort to institute municipal gov
ernment under American auspices car
ried the idea of exclusive fidelity to
the United States, but this met with diff
ficulties where Filipinos were placed
entirely in control, and secret munich
pal governments were organized in
various towns under insurgent auspices
to proceed simultaneously with the
American governments and often
through the same personnel. Presi-
dents and town officials acted openly
in behalf of Americans and secretly in
behalf or insurgents, "and, paradoxical
as it may seem, with considerable ap-
parent solicitude for the interests o1
both
Wherever there is a group Of insur-
gent forces, contiguous towns contrib
ute to their support and render grea
assistance in secreting the soldiers and
helping them to escape.
The report says the success of the
guerrilla system depends upon the com
plete unity Of action among tho nativ,
population. That there is such unit,
is frankly acknowledged. but how it il
brought about General Macarthur
says he is unable to ascertain. In
timidation accounts for the condition
to some extent, but fear would not b,
successful aus the only motive. H
adds:
1t is more probable that the ad
hesiVe principle comes from ethnologi
cal homogeneity, which induces men t

Washington, November 1o.-Major
General Macarthur, commanding the
army in the Philippines. and military
governor Of the islands since May 5, 1900.
has submitted his report to the war de-
partment- Considerable portion Of the
report relates to events which took
place previous to the date when he as
sumed command, and he publishes
some OF the correspondence and proc
Iamations of the FilipinOs obtained be-
fore that time. He refers to the change
of Aguinaldo's plans in abandoning his
army organization and starting a
guerrilla. warfare. The conditions OF
the country have afforded advantages
for such a policy. he says. as they have
enabled the insurgents to appear and
disappear at their convenience. At
diately after are within the American
lines in the attire of peaceful natives.
A widely scattered formation of Fill
pinos quickly followed the guerrilla
warfare, which led to a corresponding
dissemination of American troops, there
being fifty-threc military stations on
the archipelago November 1, 1899, and
Alb stations September 1, 1900.
This resulted in a large number OF
minor affairs, many of which did moi
assume the dignity of a regular com
bat, though the casualties between the
dates given were 26S Americans killed
75e wounded and 55 captured. the Fill
pino losses during the same time being

when such action is opposed to their
own interest and convictions of eX-
peGiency."
He says that this statement applies
to the entire archipelago, excepting
the portion of Mindano, occupied by
Moros, and the Jolo group. The Moros
seemed entirely satisfied with present
conditions.
General Macarthur quotes captured
correspondence to show the effort of
tho insurgent leaders to intimidate and
control the people. He declares that
the guerrilla bands could not exist ex-
cept for the support they receive fror7
the towns.
He says that; the education of the
Fflipinos will tend to secure their sub
mission, which indicates that this will
require a great deal of time, patience
and an adequate force.
In closing his report General Mac
Arthur, after speaking Of the establish
ment of a representative form of gov
| ernment in the islands. says:
In the light of existing conaitiOns
| it is difficult to realize that there is
any possibility of such a future for the
| islands, especially so at present, and
| for many years to come the necessity
| of large American military and naval
| force is too apparent to admit Of dis
cussion. On the other hand. however
there are many encouraging conditions
| to sustain such conviction For aX-
ample, in the Philippines, there is n
| dynasty to destroy; no organized sys-
tenn Of feudal laws to eradicate; NJ
| principles inconsistent with republican,
ism which had solidly insinuated them
selves into the national life, to dis
place; no adverse aspect OF nature Il
| overcome. On the contrary, nature
which is exuberant, balmy and gener
Gus. has nourished in existence sever
al millions of sensitive and creduleu
people without allegiance to any exist
ing institutions, but animated by Ger
tain inchoate ideas and aspiration
which by some unfortunate perversion
of thought they conceive to be threat
ened by America. These people, for
tunately are intelligent generous am
flexible, and probably will yield quickl
and with absolute confidence to tuiuot
and advice, when thoroughly informe
of American institutions and purposes.
