"Filipinos are Traduced."

y returned Arkansas soldier tells
a different story about the Filipinos
than that usually related in letters
and interviews, says a Little Rock
Ark, dispatch. John H. Parker, a
young man whose home is four miles
north of Clinton, in Van Buren,
county, has been here several DAYS
on visit to friends, and will depart
tonight for San Francisco, en- route to
Manila, to rejoin his old command,
troop 9, Sixth cavalry, in which he
has already served three years. He
was in the archipelago at the out
break OF the war and took part in the
battle of Cavite, when the natives
were armed only with bows and
arrows.
lie spent two years and two
months among those people, and his
love of war and good opinion of the
country induced him to re-enlist.
lie says the Filipino has been Sian.
dercd and misrcprcsented. lie de-
clares that the natives are intelligent,
industrious, cultured and hard work
ing, az rule. They are not priest
ridden and ignorant, as many would
lead the world to believe, and Parker
says the majority of them have more
sense than their traducers.
All are true TO Aguinaldo and
love their country, and are far from
being subdued.
Aguinaldo has been called n tra;-
tor to his own country. He did sell
out to the Spanish government for
sl0,OOO,0O0 in gold, but he did it for
purpose. AS soon as he got it he
went to Germany and expended
practically all Of it for Mauscr rifles
and ammunition, which were shipped
to the islands while America was
still fighting Spain. The islands
were Hooded with these supplies, and
now every Filipino is well armed
There are enough arms in the coun-
try to keep up a war for twenty
years, and they will do it.
Aguinaldo is most elusive. The
Americans cannot find him on ac-
count of his DISCUSSES. He still has
large army back of him, but the
warfare has become nothing more
than that of guerrillas. Parker was
one of General Lawton's aids
and caught that intrepid soldier in
his arms when he was shot down
by Filipino. He says there is no
shadow of truth in the report so as
sld''ously circulated that he was
killed by one of his own men, as he
was too well liked.

bors opened the bank of North Bend
with skeleton keys and made their
way to tho vault. They set off the
burglar alarm, which caused them to
flee and leave their tools behind.

SAM JONES ON ELECTION.

A TERRIBLE CRIME.
White Woman Raped In williamsburg County.
Sheriff Let Fiend Escape.

One of the most dastardly assaults
ever committed by rape fiend oc-
Cured Monday Mt Greeleyville, Will
liamsburg county. The circumstances
seem to be as follows:
Mrs. Mitchum, a respectable white
woman, was sitting in her home,
holding her baby in her arms. A
negro named Macon Lesesne entered
the house, and was ordered to 90 out.
lie would not 60, and Mrs. Mitchum
picked up a gun. The negro grabbed
Mrs. Mitchum, took the gun from
her and put it down, and then at the
point of his pistol forced her to lay
down her babe, and then accom-
plished his fiendish purpose.
The outraged woman reported the
circumstances 10 ncighbors and soon
crowds were out hunting for the
fiend. Lesesne was captured and
quietly put in Jail. The excitement
and indignation was intense, and
Sheriff Daniels wired the Governor
tor advice as to what to do. The
Governor promptly wired back to
protect the prisoner at all hazards,
and TO bring him to Columbia if nee
essary. Sheriff Daniels started with
his prisoner to Columbia, but in
some way let him get away. This
is inexplicable, and the people of
Kingstree cannot understand it, A
telegram says that the escaped pris-
oner is supposed to have gone to
Sumter, which is his old homo. He
was seen on an Atlantic Coast Line
train by people outside of the COM
munity, and who did not know at
the time of tn" outrage.
a telegram from Kingstree says
that the people were quite indignant
over the escape Of the prisoner and
that the Sheriff had not made any
satisfactory explanation as to how he
got off,

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has tho larg-
est sale of any medicine in the civilized
world. Your mothers and grandmothers
mover thought of using anything else for
indigestion and biliousness. Doctors
were scarce, and they seldom heard of
appendicitis, nervous prostration or
heart failure, etc. They used August
Flower to clean out tho system and stop
fermentation of undigestcd food, rogu-
late the action of tho liver, stimulate
tho nervous and organic action of tho
system, and that is all they took when
feeling dull and bad with headaches and
other aches. You only need few doses
of Green's August Flower, in liquid
form, to mako you satisfied there is
nothing serious the matter with you.

Why Bryan Was Defeated!

Richard Croker, the New York
Tammany Hall leader, Bryan's right.
hand man in that city, has given out
The following reasons why the Demo-
cratic candidate for president was
defeated:
believe that 16 to had good
deal to do with the vote against
Bryan in this State. What the
causes were in the Southern and
Western States do not know.
We all know what the cause was
in New York State, the money
centre of the East. However, New
York city did very well indeed. If
the rest of the country had done as
well as New York city Bryan would
have been elected. Kings county
did very well, too.
do not regard the decision of the
country as adverse to Mr.. Bryan AZ
a man. 1t was against the prnci-
pies. He is magnificent represent

Girls Father Kills Her Lover.

The grand jury Of Meridian, Miss,
has returned indictments for man
slaughter against r. l.. Chisolm and
his son, Il. l.. Chisolm, Jr. The
elder is travelling man, whose terri
tory includes Mississippi and Ala
bama. The indictment grows out of
the killing Of Will Hatcher, one of
the best known society men in Me-
ridian, and the son of one of the
wealthicst merchants and planters in
Lauderdale county. The accused
three weeks ago slipped up on
Hatcher and Miss Maud Chisolm in
very secluded piece of woodland.
Revolver and shotgun were used
until the young man was literally
shot to death. At the preliminary
examination Miss Chisolm testified
that her relations with Hatcher were
proper and that her father and bro
thcr had deliberately conspired to
murder the young man, even at the
sacrifice of her good name. The
young lady says she will give tcsti-
mony that she hopes will hang the
slayers of her sweetheart.

a GOOD THING.

The board of aldermen of Dur
ham has adopted an anti splitting
ordinance, effective June 1st. We
are always glad to observe the
adoption Of this municipal
regulation. 1t is tribute to the
women: it is concession OF cleanll-
ness. In Charlotte it works beauh-
fully. Men still spit upon the side
walks, but infrequently. This is
not from their fear of arrest and
fine, but they have in mind the
ordinance, and it suggests to them
the improperly Of ~dlng their
tobacco on the pavement and for
this purpose they 90 to the gutter.
The anti.spitting ordinance is a
great thing, 1t protects the
women's skirts; it improves the APP
pealance Of the pavements; 1t pro-
notes refinement in men.
We publish the above from the
Charlotte Observer and most re-
specially call the attention OF our
people to the way IN which such
an ordinance is commended. True
it is not mainly from fear OF ar
rest and punishment that people
refrain from eXpectoraung lndls-
crminately upon sidewalks, pave
ments, etc, but if watched and re-
minded that the habit is an I'M
slightly, as we'll as an injurious one,
