The most interesting discussion last
night in the Committee on Education,
while the new school law was under
consideration, was caused by Senator
Aycock who advocated school on Sat-
urday.
THAT will never do" said Judge Con-
nor. "and if it ever gets out in North
Carolina you are a ruined man. The
children are entitled to Saturday. Some
of these schools have a tangled
way of teaching on Saturday and giving
Monday as a holiday, I'm opposed to
that too"
1.-THE small boys as much entitled to
Saturday as the niger is, said Mr..
Beddingfield.
Why" exclaimed Mr.. Smith, Sat
urday's the only day except Sunday on
which fish'll bite"
This was what the aforesaid small
boy calls poser" and the commit
tee decided against the proposition.
well, protest" laughed Senator Ay-
cock.
You may protest till doomsday," re-
piled Judge Connor, "well never make
the small boy go to school on Saturday"

The Senate yesterday amended the
Divorce bill by adding a provision that
divorces may be granted for abandon
ment for three years. 1t is to be regretted
that the Senate did not see its way clear
to pass the bill without this amendment.
While abandonment is cause for divorce
in number of States, it is our con-
viction that the South Carolina divorce
law is the best law on the statute books
of any State.

Juan, still Juan ought to remember 10
whom he owed the knife. Jonathan added
ingenuously that a four bladed knife
with a cork-screw and a nail-file was the
very thing in all the world that he wanted
most.
Juan, however, didn't take the hint.
He politely thanked Jonathan for his
trouble, and added that he should now
like to have the knife and whistle a
little.
I'm very much afraid, Juan, said the
moral Jonathan very solemnly, that II
you have this knife to take care of all
by yourself, Johnny Bull or some of those
big boys across the street will steal it
from you. Rather than have them guilty
of theft, and have you suffer the loss, I'll
keep it in my own pocket little while
longer-of course remembering that it's
really yours, and that l must give 1t
back to you when you're old enough.
but you've already said you'd lick
any boy from across the street who in
terfered with us. Besides, just before
you began to fight, you thought / was
plenty old enough"
ITO be sure, to be sure" answered
Jonathan, "but you're rather clumsy for
your age and l should hate to have you
cut your fingers. Then, too. after I've
helped fight for it, the knife is really as
much mine as yours"
But it isn't yours at ALL
eve won't talk about that point just
now Suppose, however, you jot down
on a piece of paper your plan of using
the knife If / like the plan, perhaps
you can have the knife-if you'll keep
the biggest blade, the Iittlest blade, and
the cork-screw for my special use.

you might much better give it to me, and

of them. If you weren't such cantankcs-
Gus little rascal. you'd insist on my
keeping the knife, and now that were
on that point. if you don't insist on my
keeping it, I'll make it so hot for you

PLANTERS AND WAGES.
A Maximum Rate Fixed Yesterday for
All Plantations.

The Planters Association continued
their session behind closed doors yes
terday afternoon, finally adjourning
until today at 10 o'clock thus extend
ing the session beyond the originally
proposed limit of one day.
The business handled during yester-
days meeting related almost entirely
to the fixing of a scale of prices for
labor at a universal rate throughout
the islands. While the doings of the
meeting were kept closed from the
press, information obtained from the
outside tends to show that a fixed
scale was decided upon although only
after opposition on the part of an Oahu
plantation that wanted the privilege OF
an optional price.
General testimony as to the condition
of affairs on the different plantations
especially with regard to the services
rendered by the various classes of labor
is occupying much of the time of the
session and will be continued this
morning.
After session hours the managers of
the plantations in the Kohala district
expressed fears of decided loss in the
cane of next season owing to the con-
tinued droughts which however came
too late to interfere with the present
crop.
Most of the visiting planters are re-
gistered at the Moana where a special
dinner was given last evenin" at which
social rather than business matters
were discussed.

SOLACE SAW ASHES

Lieutenant r. L. Hasbrouck of the
Solace reports having noticed quite a
peculiar thing Sunday afternoon be-
tween p. m. and p. m. when the YES
sci was about 120 miles southwest from
Hawaii The surface of the water was
covered with a quantity of scum which
was quite unusual. Lieutenant Has
brouck said that it might have been
ashes but he was not certain. 1t was
suggested that perhaps the stuff might
have been thrown off by Kilauea and
be the first indication that the volcano
was in state of eruption.

GUAMs POLITICAL PRISONERS.
Filipino Generals, Colonies and Mayors
Are Under Restraint.

The Filipino prisoners at Guam are re-
ported by people who returned on the
Solace from there to be an excellent LOT
of men. The crowd has given little
trouble and is perfectly orderly and
apparently well satisfied with the treat
ment they have received.
In speaking of them an officer on the
Solace said this morning: "They are ar
excellent class of men. Among them
were four generals, a number of colon
els, many who had been mayors of
towns besides other officers of the Fill
pinO army, They are kept in the
stockade but are given an outing and
exercise every afternoon under a guard.
Thus far they have given no trouble.
They expressed the opinion that the
capture of Aguinaldo was an excellent
thing for it would shorten their captiv-
ity at Guam. They are all anxious to
get back to their homes"

Substance Of Gen. MacArthur's Re-
 port Is Encouraging.
Greater Part of the Philippine Arch ipeIagO He Declares to Re Under Civil Home Rule and Thor
 oughly Pacified.

Gen. MacArthur's report on retir- ing from command in the Philippines is a record of advancement all along the line. He found guerrilla warfare still raging in many districts. He leaves only few bands in the hills, the greater part of the archipelago under civil home rule, and at peace, with industry and education advanc- ing rapidly.
 Gen. MacArthur rightly regards Funston's capture of Aguinaldo as the most important event of his ad- ministration. ..The capture" he says, "dispelled the growing tendency to idealize Aguinaldo's personality, which millions of natives believed ultimately would insure success for the rebellion Aguinaldo at large and rarely visible was a demigod to the superstitious natives. Brought within constant sight and touch, he has shrunk to his normal and com monplace dimensions.
 Gen. Macarthur approves Col. E. H. Crowder's plan for reforming the Philippine currency upon the gold standard.
