dents In Philippines.
Washington, March 29.-Secretary
Hay and the Duke d'Arco, tile Span
ish minister, today signed the
protocol extending for six months the
period allowed Spanish residents in the
Philippine islands % elect whether they
shall remain Spanish subjects or sur
render their allegiance and adopt the
nationality Of the territory in which
they reside. The article in the Paris
treaty bearing or this subject allowed
the Spanish subjects one year from the
date Of the exchange of notifications Of
the treaty within which to make their
choice. That period expires on the 18th
of next month.
The extension arranged for does not
apply 10 Cuba or Porto Rico. It is
confined in operation to the Philippines
for the reason that conditions in the
archipelago have been so unsettled as
to warrant the Spanish residents in
hesitating to make an election in this
important matter.

A Business Boom

The indications are that Lan>
caster is to have the best year in
her history from business stand
point. In every line business is
active. We have had occasion
before to mention the activity of
business at our four big sale sta.
bleS how our dealers are whole
sailing and retailing mules and
hprses-about thirteen car loads
have been handled by them this
month, at II small profit they say,
but their low prices bring custo-
mers from all parts OF the State.
While strong competition among
the stock men has made trade ac-
tive in their line, strong compe-
tltlon is also making trade lively
IN our mercantile establishments.
Goods are sold rs near the cost in
Lancaster aS anywhere in South
Carolina, and, as Il consequence.
we meet people on our streets
from adjoining counties, almost
daily, who come here to trade. 1t
is not an unusual thing for one or
two of our leading commercial
establishments t, take in from
five to six hundred dollars in cash
in single day, aside from their
credit sales 1t is low prices,
brought about hy active competi-
tion, that is bringing such an
amount of trade to our town.
But, competition is not confined
to the mule traders and the mer>
cantlle establishments, we find it AL
so among the cotton buyers. Cotton

much here As it is in Liverpool.

ruling price here the past four
days and about 600 bales have
been bought. March futures are
only quoted at u cents in New
York, and yet January spot is
bringing S cents right along at this
place. The war is on, and the
farmer is wise who does his trad

We congratulate the farmers of

they have such market as Ian.
