Officials of A. D. Say Conditions Are All
Right
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington. April 2O.-A telegram was
received at the offices of the Southern
railway here today from the Superinten-
dent of the Danville Division denying that

The offices at Holland and Pleasant Shade
were closed yesterday, but the superinten-
dent says they soon will be re-opened.
The officials here said today they had
no information that the strike had gained
new impetus nor that trains were de-
layed. No officers of the system, it was
stated had left Washington for the South
on acc unt of the present situation.

rMPERIALIsT CONTRADICTIONS.
President schurman says:

President Schurman says:

who fought against the Americans
were animated by the highest ideals
of loyalty to independence.
think that Aguinaldo is one of the
class, and that he is an honest
man"
Secretary Of War Root says:
"The struggle against the United
States is prompted by selfish ambi-
ton of a military dictator, who has
gathered all the forces Of disorder,
and with his bands occupies one
half Of the island of Luzon."
President Mckinley in his recent
Western speeches insinuated that
Aguinaldo had been paid ga bribe"
for peace; that he "struck a
blow" at US, and that it twas a foul
one" Here is the testimony OF
three witnesses for the Administra-

is directly contradictory Of the
President and Mr.. Root. Which

WHAT 1T STANDS FOR.

The American flag is what il
stands for.
There is no sovereign virtue in
the bunting itself nor in the stitches
that conhne it, There should even
be Americans of moral courage
enough to lower that when it is
where it does not belong. 1t once
fioated in Mexico. Were they no,
patriots who hauled it DOWN.
But there are too many Amer.
cans now who dare to haul down
the Spirit of our flag at home.
For more than century the Stars
and Stripes have stood for human
rights and the consent of the gov
erned. They do not stand for that
in the Philippines to-day. They
will not always stand for that in the
United States if we misuse them
elsewhere.
The men who corrupt our poll
tics; the men who surrender con-
science; the men who don't care
these are the ones who are really
hauling down Our Flag. 1t is time
for us to stop chatter about six
yards of cloth and concern our
selves with the soul of which that
cloth is only token. And to
begin with we had better lay quiet,
firm hands upon the only danger
GUS enemies this nation has in the
whole world. We shall need no
cruisers to get them; nor weapons
to lay them by the heels-more
than
ssThat weapon which comes down as still
As snowfiakes fall upon the sod,
But executes a freeman's will
As lightning does the will of Cod

SIRED IN OLD KENTUCKY"

Point Pleasant state Gazette.
He was shot in old Kentucky,
where they make the mountain dew,
and the mother feeds the babies on
hot revolver stew, where you wake
up in the morning shot full of bullet
holes, and find your sole compan
ions are disembodied souls.
He shot in old Kentucky, where
their aim is always true, and the
principal amusement is shooting
people through, where the doctors
use as medicine, for all human ills,
dose or two of bullets instead OF
giving pills.
He was shot in old Kentucky,
where 'feuds" grow on trees, and
the bullets from the rifles buzz
through the air like bees, where the
instruments they play on. when
they give dance or hop, are their
musical revolvers, and they "call
off" with pop.
have heard that old Kentucky
is fine old Commonwealth, that
their women are all noted for their
beauty and their health, but III
stay in West Virginia where the
women cut less figure, and the men
are not so hasty nor quick to pull a
trigger.

ness and cheerfulness and general
prosperity that abounds all through
this beautiful Valley between Baton
Rouge and New Orleans.
From New Orleans we were taken
over to some of the Gulf Coast
towns of Mississippi. Our frs,
stop was at Bay ST Louis, So miles
from New Orleans, a very pretty
summer resort situated on the Gulf
OF Mexico, or rather on the Sound
between Lake Ponchartrain and the
Gulf. Here we got our first breath
OF salt air and it was very refresh
ing after spending one week in New
Orleans. The water was luke-warm
and we longed to don a bathing
suit and wade in, but the bathing
season has not opened yet, and we
did not want to be too fresh in the
first salt water VIC struck. They
gave US a nice luncheon here at one
of the big hotels, and we spent sew
eral hours here strolling along the
beach and playing in the sand like
children and driving about the
place. The town is nearly sur
rounded by pine forests. The
known healing propensities Of the
aroma from the pines, mingled with
the salt air from the Gulf, together
with The remarkable mildness of the
climate combine to make this place
an ideal health resort. Bay St.
Louis was formerly called Shields
borough, in honor of Gen. Shields,
a noted Indian fighter. The town
was hrst incorporated in 1884 and
is about five miles long with popu.
ton Of about in 1880 in winter and
10, 600 in summer A great many
people from New Orleans own SUI
burban homes, here and spend the
heated term in Bay St. Louis. The
water is excellent for bathing seven
months out of the year. The city
is supplied with excellent artesian
water which flows from wells 500 to
100 feet in depth. This is quite a
treat after drinking rain water for
over a week in New Orleans. The
salt air is preserver Of life and a
disinfectant from contagion.
From here we passed over the
sound, over two miles wide, the
railroad being built on trestle- work
across the water and even a long
heavy train like ours runs across at a
full rate Of speed which shows it is
very substantial
We travelled over the Louisville
g Nashville Railroad from New
Orleans TO Gulf Port. The latter

welcomed by the Governor, Mayor
and prominent citizens and news
paper men of the city, at the State
House, which is very nice modern
structure, but is not nearly so in
teresting as Jackson's where they
still illuminate the building with old
fashioned candelabras and warm it
with stoves. The State House at
Baton Rouge is Lighted with electric
lights, and is up-to date in every re-
spect. This is the home of Gen.
I. SamboIa Jones, who was for
mer vee president of the N. f.. A..
and is one of the most eloquent
orators and best newspaper men in
the South. He delivered an ad
dress to us that was way ahead of
the Governors. After the reception
at the State House we were escorted
in body to the two besthotels in the
city where elegant suppers were
awaiting us, and every one did
ample justice to the hospitality of
Louisana's capital. After supper
we strolled around the city awhile
and returned to our sleepers and
went to bed. Baton Rouge has a
population of 1900, 5000 colored
and 5000 whites of which 5000 Of
these are creoles.
The electric light plants in all
these Southern cities are very poor
affairs compared with the North or
