A CONDITION OF SLAVERY
Report of Grand Jury of Anderson
County, y. 4.

ANDERSON, S. c., March s. - The
grand jury has made its report to the
special term of court on the abuses OF
the labor contract system in this county.
The report sustains the allegation made
that where the system is used virtual
slavery exists The jury found, how
ever, that this method of working ne
groes was employed by only 30 men in
the county, and these were presented
and will be indicted for false imprison,
ment at the June term of court.
The free laborers have been whipped
and Shackled, and in one instance a man
was kidnapped in Georgia and brought ia
a stockade here, where he was worked
till the grand jury found hin and he
was set at liberty. The report was pre-.
pared by committee of five and was
adopted by the full grand jury.
Judge Benet, after reading the secret
evidence taken by the committee. said
it contained "Pitiful details of long i'm.
prlsonment, without even the mockerv
of trial; whippings, kidnapings, from
one county to another, even from Geor-
gia. "
He deprecated the unjust criticisms
OF northern newspapers, and declared
South Carolina would not send her dirty
linen to a federal laundry The threat
OF congressional interference was alb.
surd. Such talk did harm. 1t hurt the
negroes cause.
The solicitor will bring indictments
against these planters at the June term
of court.

attack upon Lichtenburg. Our losses,
besides the two officers previously re-
ported, were IA men killed and 20
wounded. The Boer general, Celliers,
was killed.
''DeWet's position is variously re-
ported, as his men are scattering through
the Orange colony. Our troops, march
ing north, are reported at Petersburg
today.
French reports further captures of a
14-pounder Creusot, with carriage and
timber complete, and one Hotchkiss,
making total of seven guns"
Adding to this report. Lord Kitchener
states that 169 rifles, 24,970 rounds of
ammunition, 1873 horses, 1.240 trek oxen,
$40 cattle, lS, $50 sheep, 100 wagons and
carts and large quantities of forage have

Pearston, but Gorringer burned them
out and Lisle headed them in the road
to Somerset, east

CORNER IN TIMBER
IN THE PHILIPPINES
Private Owners Are Enjoying
a Big Bonanza.
GREAT BOOM IN BUILDING

1t May Be Retarded, However, Unless
Washington Authorities Can Hold
Up Prohibition of Timber Cutting Q
on Public Lands.
MANILA, March 8.-Disappointment
among American business men here
with the limitations of the Foraker
amendment to the army bill is coming
out as its provisions are better known
1t is considered to be especially unfortu.
nate in apparently prohibiting the is.
suing Of licenses 44or the cutting of the
timber upon public lands. If this inter-
probation proves correct, it will be bo-
nanza for the few owners of private
timber lands in these islands, and the
beginning of building activity i'll all
towns will be considerably retarded
An inquiry has been cabled to Wash
1ngtOn, asking if this prohibition on tim.
Der cutting is to be construed as includ-
ed IN the amendment. The forestry de-
partment of the Philippines hitherto is
sued licenses for cutting timber upon
public lands for one year, but lumber is
IN such great demand today for build
ing purposes that it would be consider
ed most unfortunate should the control
OF its production be vested in those few
men who now own timber lands.
There is some talk here of sending a
petition to Washington for an extra ses-
sion of congress, but the fear is general,
however, among a certain element, that
the action might not result in any ma.
ter1al good.
Regrets are expressed here at the fact
that congress does not entrust the tim

PROBABILITIES OF PEACE

Botha Would Have Surrendered Ere
This Had the British Commander
Possessed Full Power to Conclude
the Terms of Surrender.
LONDON, March -S-A dispatch from
Pretoria, dated Tuesday, March 5, evil
IDENTIFY held up by the censor, has just
reached here. 1t says General Kitch-
ener met General Botha and other Boer
leaders at Middleburg on Feb. 81, when
the question of the possibility of termi-
nation of hostilities was discussed.
Another dispatch from Pretoria. dated
Wednesday, March 6, says the meeting
between Kitchener and General Botha
has awakened deep interest and that
there is favorable expectation as to the
probable outcome
According to The Sun, the surrender
of General Botha would have been an
accomplished fact before now had Gen
eral Kitchener been in position to con-
clude the terms of surrender. When
the surrender occurs, The Sun adds, it
will include the surrender or entire
suppression of General DeWet and will
involve the termination of the war.

ATLANTA, March 8. - Judge J. H.
Lumpkin yesterday issued an order

ence, to reveal a secret which he had
previously declined to divulge. The Sc.
cret is bit of evidence which was
greatly desired in the trial of divorce
case in Gwinnett county and which had
been told him in confidence.
There was one alternative in the or
der. Judge Lumpkin directed that if
Mr.. Shaw still refused to make known
the evidence in question, the sheriff
would lncarcerate him in jail until he
complied with the order The minister
decided to divulge the evidence. al.
though he did it reluctantly and under
protest.
The order is the outgrowth of the suit
OF Mrs. Hattie 1. Bailey for divorce
from her husband, j. H. Baily. Mr..
and Mrs. Bailey are residents of Gwin-
nett county. 1t seems that one of the
parties in the case made an admission
to Mr.. Shaw, which, it is said, is of a
highly sensational nature
