Honorable War.

There is only one honorable war, and
that is the defense of our country and
fireside. Then does the soldier rise to
almost God-like grandeur. Let us not
lust for other peoples lands. Better
than navies, better than gold, better
than armies. better than specious dei1-
agogues in the knowledge of the great
American people have the moral cour-
age to halt and undo a wrong-greater
to their own sons than to the poor black
race of unstable Tagal people. Those
whose interest it is to kill our repub-
lie and fatten on its decay, the carrion
feeders of the spoil sytem, continue to
exploit our pride and say to us, I'VE
have started in, people will laugh at us
II we back down now; we must 20 on. /"
This Is a lie. Does any one of you hold
man In contempt who has the moral
courage to endure ridicule and undo his
wrong? II other nations misunder-
stand and deride and spit upon us. there
is yet law that Hickory Jackson pro-
mulgated at New Orleans for any future
doubters. We have borne arms unwil-
lingly and ignorantly in this unjust
Quarrel-how much reader would we in

ed us to emulate ouf revolutionary an
estors? If you cannot do this thing,
then lift up your eyes and read upon the
wall. Meme meme teket upharsin."
While the lust of battle is on a man
or nation. they only feel. they do not
think. We have feltr enough. let us
now lucubrate our mental machinery.
In the loud day of4bs{tle the voice of
reason, philosophy truth and expedi-
ency are drowned. All things are op-
perfume or not as to the time Of their
utterance. Now let a Gps great common
people take counseldwtth one another
while our passions have cooled. ere
the coming political battle again heat
our minds and we are filled with the
clamor of partisan unreason; let us be-
ware lest we court the death Rome,
Greece and others have had from within
their gates. It is not necessary to be
q partisan. It Is not necessary to De a
Democrat. nor Republican, nor Populist.
1t Is only the Americanism that our
grandsires Of '76 bequeathed to us.
When we lose that, pray God the earth

German Papers Misapprehend Scope
of Waldersee's Appointment.
By Cable From st. Petersburg, Aug. IA

By Cable From St. Petersburg, Aug IA.
/. Russian official circles consider that the
German papers misapprehend the real scope
of the appointment Of Field Marshal Count
Won Waldersee. 1t is pointed out here that
he will act merely as president of the coun-
Gil of generals to direct and combine the
operations of the different detachments but
without in any way weakening the indie
pendence of the respective commanders in
executing strategic arrangements decided
upon in common.
LONDON, Aug. 14.-Count Won Valdez

officers of the Tenth army corps at Han

correspondent, said
Upon the pluck Of my soldiers I shall
rely to carry on my mission for the welfare
and the glory Of the fatherland. and know
that. II the present difficulties should en-
gender new entanglements the Tenth army
corps, to whom l am speaking, will render

The Horse, the Dog and the Man.
The horse and the dog had tanned a
man and fastened him to a fence:
said the horse to the dog: For the life
OF me don't see bit of sense
IN letting him have the thumbs that
grow at the sides of his hands.

And the dog looked solemn and shook
MS head and said: I'm q goat II
do"
The poor man groaned and tried to get
loose, and sadly he begged them,
"Stay!
You will rob me of things for which I
have use by cutting my thumbs
away!
You Will spoil my looks: you will cause
me pain. All, why should you
treat me SO?
AS am God made me, and He knows
best! Oh, masters, pray let me
co."
The dog laughed out and the horse re-
piled: ooh. the cutting won't hurt
you. You see
Wen have hot iron to clap right on.
rs you did in your docking of me!
God gave you thumbs and all, but still
80 the Creator. you know, may fail
TO do the artistic thing, as He did in
furnishing me with a TALL
So they bound the man and cut off
his thumbs and were deaf to his
pitiful cries,
And they scared the stumps and they
viewed their work through happy
and dazzled eyes.
How trim he appears" the horse ex-
claimed, "since his awkward
thumbs are gone!
For the life of me cannot see why
the Lord ever put them on"
"Stfll, it seems to me-" the dog replied,
that there's something else to
do;
His ears look rather too long for me,
and how do they look to you?"
The man cried out ooh, spare my ears.
God fashioned them, as you see,
And il you apply your knife to them,
you'll surely disfigure mel"
But you didn't disf1gure me, .you
know" the dog decisively said,
when you bound me fast and trimmed
my ears down close to the top
of my head!"
So they let him moan and they let him
groan while they cropped his ears
away,
And they praised his looks when they
let him up, and proud indeed were
they.
But that was years and years ago, in an
. unenlightened age,
Such things are ended now, you know:
81 we have reached higher stage.
The ears and thumbs God gave to man
are his to keep and wear,
And the cruel horse and dog look on
and never appear to care

Own Your Cotton Mills.

There 10 . disposition on the
part of most of the communities
in which the building of cotton
mills is contemplated, to appeal TO
distant outsiders for contributions
to the stock of the projected mill.
We notice from the Greenyille,
Miss, Times that . cotton factory
at that place would have been
built some time ago, had not the
homo people lesrned too much on
outsiders aid for this that and
the .othes in connection with the
building of the factory; and that
the Greenville people are now I'M
willing to wait any'longer on the
promised investors and viii build
their own factory.
This is the proper way to dis
pose Of the matter. The sooner
the Southern people learn 10 de-
pend upon themselves tho better
for all concerned. 1t is . mista-
ken idea that all the money is in
the North. North Carolina he's
over two hundred cotton factories
that are owned by the! Tsr-heels, .
and MOTH Carolina does not pro
duce one-fourth of the cotton raj
+sed by many Of her sister states.
If the delegations and indivi-
duals who 60 North in search of
contributions and subscriptions
would use the same amount OF
energy among the home people,
their enterprises would materializf
with much more satisfactory re-
suite. A Northern investor, as a
rule, does not care for an invest
ment that might be offered by
some little mill q thousand miles
away. It it best not TO be under
obligations to outsiders. The
South will never become great
until every industry within its
borders are controlled by home Ca
pital. Particularly is this true as
to cotton manufactures There
are many goods reasons for max
ing the assertion. Field and Fac

The Crop Prospects.
Daily Picayune.

Daliy flc0yune. -
There has been but little COM
plant on the score of the weather
from the surrounding country du-
ring the past two weeks. While
there have been occasional show
ers, the moisture has done good,
instead of harm. As . rule, the.
weather has been dry and hot, ia
voring the rapid maturing of crops
and facilitating the rapid harves-i
ting of the rice yield.
The general verdict is that cot
ton has undergone considerable
improvement. Some complaint
has been heard t, the effect that
rice yields in some places have:
been disappointing, but the gen.
eral report is that q large yield is
bsing gathered. With q continu-
ance of satisfactory weather, there
is every reason to expect that the
present rice crop will be q lsvge
one, exceeding even the very good
crop of last season.
In the sugar district the note of
preparation is heard on all sides.
Sugar-house machinery 10 being
overhsaled, fuel is being collected.
roads are being repaired and
everything get in readiness for
the opening of the grinding season
which this year promises to begin
several weeks earlier than was the
case last season, owing 10 the large
tonnage which the planters expect
to have to griag. Vita respect b
the condition of the cane crop, re.
lports continue favorable. The
cane is large and hooks vigorous
and. healthy. While there are
lsome complaints that the cane is
mot entirely up to early snticipa-
lions, The general verdict is very
favorable. Unless appearances
are very deceptive, the sugar crop
of this State for 1909 promises 10
be the largest ever produced.
! The Louisiana Planter, in its Ia
test number, says of the condition
Of the cane crop: "The hot wes-
ter which we have now been able
| to chronicle for a week or two still
continues, and is proving of great
benefit to the growing cane, which
is gaining in weight and height
and appears vigorous and of heal
thy color. The occasional rains
which we have he'd have been be-
nefcial, contributing the necessa-
ry moisture to enable TIE canes 10
lget the best results from the hot
days. Our reports all indicate a
satisfactory situation throughout
the sugar district, and while the
fcrop. as whole, may not come up
to earlier expectations. It should
be very excellent one. particu-
larly in some localities which have
been favored with weather condi-
tions than the averrge.

A Committee Decirous Of Obtaining
Facts Regarding the Philippines.

Washington, Nov 20.-Among the
callers on the president Monday was
Prof. Albert Bushnell Hart. head Of
the division of history and political
science at Harvard university. He
was introduced by Secretary Long ant
his purpose was TO present plans of a
committee which has been organized
to obtain and publish the facts rela-
tive 10 the Philippines problem. The
association back of this committee, Ii
is stated. includes citizens in various
parts OF the country, in business and
in professional life, whom Prof. Hart
says feel that the so-called Philippine
questions have been befogged by the
mass of testimony, and that great pub.
lie service can be accomplished by col
lecting and publishing the official ma
terials bearing on this subject In re-
cent speeches and public papers much
use has been made of extracts from
the correspondence of military, naval
and diplomatic officers, the full text Of
which is to be found only in volumi.
nous documents which find their way
slowly throughout the country and
hence are not readily accessible to
those who desire TO get at the facts.
This committees desire is to place a
judicious selection from this mass of
material before the public It's pur-
pose is said TO be entirely separate
from any propaganda and the docu-
ments are to be printed as they stand
without note or comment or implica.
tion. No attempt will be made either
to show up or defend any individual or
course of action.
The association includes some of the
warmest supporters Of the administra.
tion during the recent campaign and
specifically of its Philippine policy
and also others who are in a waiting
