Otis said he could suppress the in
surgents in the Philippines with 35,-
600 men. Lawton said it would take
100000 men. There are now 10000
soldiers under Otis. The deaths are
growing in number in proportion to
the number of men in the ranks. The
PHILIPPINES do not kill any; the Philip
pines kill many. Peace is as far off as
it ever was. The city of Manila itself
is full of insurgents, and peace reigns
only within reach of the gun, and
travels within that sphere - leaving
with the gun and returning with it.
Uncle Sam in the Philippines and John
Bull in South Africa have certainly re-

When they return home Uncle Sam

replant feathers in the eagles tail.

THE r., +. & Il. AND a. e.. l..
Consolidation of the Two Discussed,
Meeting of r., f. a. II. Stockholders

The merging Of the Richmond, Fred
ericksburg and Potomac Railroad Com
pany into the Atlantic Coast Line is a
very general topic of conversation in
railway circles, although there is moth
ing definitely known here concerning
the consolidation of the two. The fact
that within the past few days the stock
of the Richmond, Fredericksburg and
Potomac has advanced a lent color
to the rumor of the merging of the two
ines.
A meeting of the stockholders Of the
Richmond, Fredericksburg and Poto-
mao was held in this city yesterday. 1t
was stated that the subject of merg-
ing with the Atlantic Coast Line was
not discussed at the meeting. The at
tendance upon the meeting was very
large. Although the session lasted
some time, it was stated after adjourn
ment hat the only important action
taken was to change the present scale
Of voting, so as to make it conform
to recent changes in the code of Vir-
ginia. A meeting will be held within
the next few days for the purpose of
tr~ansacting further business.-Rich-

Not a Single Case of Smallpox in the
City or County-An Interesting Case

pox 50 far as the health authorities are
ware The negro George Brown, from
Wrightsville sound, who has been in
b smallpox hospital the past several
weeks was discharged Thursday and
h negro girl, daughter of Jasen Lof-
tin, who has been quarantined at her
fathers home on Greenville sound, was
discharged as cured yesterday. How
ever, the quarantine will be maintain
ed for several days yet as a precau-
tiOnary measure.
The authorities are especially gratifi-
ed at the promptness with which every
outbreak of the disease both in the city
and county has been stamped out by
the health department. 1t is a notable
fact that no city or county in the state
where smallpox has nae it's appear
ance, has checked it's spread and
stamped out the disease with so much
promptness or at so little cost to the
tax payers.
1t will be of interest to note in this
connection hat the negro, James Hill,
who was taken from the Jail asst Non
day and placed under guard in the
smallpox hospital, because of a severe
eruption which gave promise of devel-
oping into smallpox, is found to have
pemphigus instead. This is a very rare
disease and quite a fatal one as we'll
and its development and progress are
being watched with considerable inter-
est by a number of physicians of the
city. The negro is charged with a very
aggravated assault upon Mr.. Frank z.
