Here is sulphur spring famous for its
great healing power. The Catawba near
Granite Falls madly rushes over large
ledge of granite boulders, which extends
across the river, making a grand and
beautiful foaming cascade. This town
takes it's name from these granite falls.
There is Already one cotton factory at
Granite Falls and another will soon be
built at Double Shoals, near the town,
by the Rhodhiss Manufacturing Company.
IDEAL PLACE FOR SUMMER.
This high and WE'LL timbered plain over
which the road runs for ten miles be-
tween Granite Falls and Lenoir, lies at
the foot Of the mountains and averages
thirteen hundred feet above sea level.
The soil is very fertile, being especially
adapted to tobacco, fine fruits and truck
ing. There are many fine mineral springs
and the slope of the land assures the best
drainage. Homes along this plain can be
bought on the most reasonable terms.
1t has been suggested that people who
spend the winter at Southern Pines in
this State would find this plain the very
best place to summer for lung troubles,
it being a halfway break in altitude be-
tween Southern Pines and Blowing Rock
and other mountain resorts of high alti
tude. The air is delightfully."- cool, pleas
ant and pure but not too cold for people
who are in delicate health. as is often
the case in higher attitudes. Besides,

The MISSION OF CHAPELLE.
Instructed to Place Catholic Church in
Philippines Same Basis as
American Church.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-There is a
complete understanding between the
government and Archbishop Chapelle
concerning church affairs in the Philip
pines. He has gone there as the repre-
sentative of the pope for the purpose of
reorganizing the Catholic church upon
the same basis that exists III the United
States, and General Otis is thoroughly
IN formed of his mission and of the pol
icy he is directed to pursue.
There is no Intention on the part of
the United States government to con-
tiscate or occupy without fair remunera-
ton any property belonging to the
church, but the estate and other prop
erty belonging to religious orders, or
whose title is in the name of the bishop,
Will be taxed like any other property,
except property actually used for wor-
ship or Tor educational purposes. There
will be no objection to the friars re-
naming in the Philippines, provided
they do not interfere with political and
civil affairs.
The schools will be secularized, al
though there will be no objection to the
establishment OF Catholic schools, pro.
vlded the church or the people prefer to
maintain them. No public money will
be given to the support of any sectarian
institutions, either educational or benev-
client, and the priests will not be allowed
any other privileges or immunities than
they enjoy in this country. In short,
Archbishop Chapelle understands and
agrees that there is to be an entire
separation of the church from civil
affairs and the same freedom of wor-
ship and religious instructions that ex-
list in this country,

The INDEPENDENT is never bidding

the numerous readers of our paper
we think it proper to call the atten-
tion OF the authorities to the pro-
priety OF publishing importing "by
authority" notices in every newspa-
per in the Islands. We refer speci-
ally to the advertisement in regard
to grand Juries. 1t is notice OF
great Importance to many people,
and there are many people here
who read THE INDEPENDENT, because
they agree with its policy, or per-
haps because it is not as costly as

In referring to the boat race
which took place at New London,
Conn, on June %, and in which two
young men born in Hawaii took an
active part, we are again forced to
express our regret that it is from
the fields OF sports and recreation
that we hear the names OF our
young townsmen, but very rarely
from the rooms where science and
modern education are supposed to
hold sway. We don't believe that
young men should be bookworms,
and unable to meet the practical is.
sues OF life, but we do feel that our
boys abroad are wasting their
parents money and return hero
without adding to the honor of the
land or to the value of the people
among whom they were born. OF
course we have to adopt American
methods, and if young Hartwell aud
young Bond had delivered able
discourses on the science of govern
ment or political economy, each
would probably have received two
lines notice in paper. BY sitting
in a boat and pulling an oar, as
thousands OF ignorant fishermen
and sailors do daily, they gained a
one column notoriety, and go into
the battle of life, with the idea that
they are sway up" Poor boys; they
are not to blame when some day
they wake up to the fact that their
records at the oar, or the golf stick,
or the baseball bat, does not insure
success in life. But we presume
they are happy aud their fathers are
