Morning Session.
The morning session was not COM
menced until late today, being delayed
by a closed meeting of the miners,
which began at o'clock in the Turner
hall. Consequently small amount of
work was done. All the action taken
was in regard to the first sub-district,
where most of the trouble is AS a
result of the labors of the committee
thus far, everything there has practic-
ally been settled with the exception Of
room turning and dead work, and it is
probable that by the time the Courier
is printed these two subjects will be
decided. Considerable discussion was
the order of the meeting this morning,
and the topics touched upon We're
many and varied. The bulk of the ar
gument hinged upon what a miner is
able to make in the southern field, the
operators claiming that the amount is
much higher than the miners put it.

IN HIS SPEECH TO THE CON.
At Kenansville, I'm Describing
the Heroic Deeds Of the Men
Who Wore the Gray and
the Women Who En-
dured the Hard

There was a tremendous gather
ing of Confederate Veterans at
Kenan4vilIe to-day to hear a
speech by General Ransom aud to
organize a camp Of Confederate
Ve'erlns. Two thousand people
were ON the grounds, and perhaps
as many as four hundred were
men who wore the gray. Good
music was furnished by the Colds
boro brass band and the women OF
the county served dinner, which
comported fully with old Duplin s
well-known reputation for plenty
and hospitality.

Hon. B. E: Grady to introduce
the speaker. Ex~Congressman

SEES BRIGHT DAYS AHEAD.
THIS is GEN. M'ARTHUR'S
VIEW OF PHILIPPINES.
He Predicts That in a Short Time
the Natives Will Gratefully
Accept American Rule.

Washington, August 9.-The
annual report of Major General
Macarthur, dated July 4, 1901,
the day that he relinquished com.
mand of the division of the Phil
ippines, has been received at the
War Department. The period
covered by the report is from Oct.
1, 1900, when the last report from
Gen. Macarthur was dated, up to
July 4 last. He reviews the pol.
icy of the Filipinos who were
hostile to the Americans, saying
that their action since the prac-
tical collapse of the instruction
has been a perplexing problem.
While the DISARMAMENT of the in
surgent field armies was caused
by a considerable period of COM
parative inactivity, the Filipinos
still organized desperate resist
ance by banding the people to-
gether in support of the guerillas.
General Macarthur reviews the
manner in which operations were
carried on against these guerillas,
the punishment of murderers and
assassins and other features all
ready well-known. The policy
adopted, he hopes, will in time
result in conciliating the natives
and making them friendly to the
United States.
He says the proclamation is
sued on December Goth firmly de-
claring the intention of the United
States to hold the islands and to
have the laws obeyed had a good
effect, and the secret resistance
to this government was much
abated.
General Macarthur speaks Of
he good service of the army, and
in this connection says:
'In due time. and beyond any
question. if %benefcient republican
institutions are permitted toope'
rate with full force, the Filipino
people will become warmly at
tached to the United States by
sense Of self-interest aud graft
.ude. In the meantime the fore,
in the islands must be d well-or
gained army and navy"
General Macarthur says tn
capture of Aguinaldo may be re
garded as the most momentou
single event Of the year. Speak
: ing particularly of Aguinaldo, b
says that the important imme
date results agd the remot
: consequences make it the impor
