a COMPROMISE EFFECTED
Department of Public Instruction Established,
Priests May Teach Three Times Week
(By the Associated Press)

Manila Jan 21-The act establishing
the Department of Public instruction was
unanimously passed by the Philippine
Commission today after a debate between
Commissioner Moses and Judge Taft over
the section permitting religious instruc-
ton IN school houses.
The commissioners originally were
unanimously in favor of the section. but
Commissioner Moses became convinced 1t
was not wise and today he offered an
amendment prohibiting the teaching Of re-
ligious doctrines in school buildings. He
declared the commission would disregard
its instructions concerning the separation
Of church and State if the questionable
provision" we're enacted. The commits
sioner characterized as groundless the
fears that Catholic children would not
attend the public schools unless religi-
Gus instruction was permitted. He said
the experience with the Philippine
schools had already demonstrated this.
Referring TO arguments of the Central
Catholics in favor of Catholic instructors
exclusively. Commissioner Moses insisted
that compromise was inadvisable when
one of the parties was predisposed against
a compromise.
Judge Taft offered a substitute permit
ting teaching thrice weekly by priests
and ministers to pupils whose parents de-
sired that their children receive such
instruction and prescribing the dismissal
Of teachers who attempt to influence pu-
pills reIigiously, and the suspension OF the
privilege of priests and ministers whose
teachings create disloyalty or disorder
Concerning the alleged disobedienee OF
the Administration instructions, Judge
Taft said the question would be whether
such use of school buildings would involve
a tax on the people He cited the facts
that the school buildings in use were be-
ing used for political and religious pur-
poses, Notwithstanding the opposing at
titude of the Federal party leaders. The
Judge said he did not believe majority
of the party or of the people were opposed
to it. He believed the opposition was
caused chiefly by fear of ecclessiastic
control The Judge did not believe the
hierarchy of the church would approve or
the radical propositions of the Central
Catholics. If experience proved the wis
dom of repeating the section it would at
least be after the Government had shown
that it is neither pro- Protestant nor pro-
Catholic
Commissioner Ide voted with Commits
sioner Moses against Judge Taft on the
substitute, explaining that he questioned
whether the substitute would accomplish
the purpose sought
After the adoption of the substitute,
the bill was passed unanimously.

CONVICT CAMPS IN MECKLEN.
BURG.

The investigation OF alleged abuses
at one of the convict camps in Mecklen-
burg county reveals some startling
facts At the camp thirty-six men in
chains were found, sixteen ''trusty'
men, two women anC three boys-one
only nine years old. Nearly all these
prisoners are diseased. The hunks on
which they sleep are so short that the
men cannot lie at full length. The
water used for drinking and washing
was found unfit for use. The convicts
were found eating their food with
sticks and pieces OF bark, having no
spoons. Arrest and furnishing OF the
men in charge are next in order, as the

WHY THEY WISH TO BUY.

Those who are enxthep' inside know that
for two years past Andrews and Russell
have been scheming for the Southern
Railway to get the States stock in the
North Carolina railroad.
The report of the Corporation Commits
sion shows that the Southern has placed
$76,55O per mile on every mile it owns.
At this rate, it would put at once s1S,213,-
$50 on the 225 miles ofsthe North Carolina
railroad as soon asst gets its claws On
the coveted properly putting in the
pockets of it's high officials a net profit
of $9.21S. 80. ~
The Inter State Commerce Commission
in a late report says that the re-organi-
CATION Of the Southern Railway froze out
the minority stockholders in the roads
where it acquired majority of the stock
and Immediately issued $120,0O0,000 Of
bonds, without a dollar of consideration,
which were divided among it's promoters.
Should ex7Governor RusselIs recon-
mendation be carried out and the South
ern Railway acquire the States interest
in the North Carolina railroad it would,
in like manner, freeze out the private
stockholders and issue SIS, 213, 700 bonds
and stock to divide among the chief men,
and then tax the people in passenger and
freight rates enough to pay interest and
dividends thereon. And that is why the
private stockholders are opposed to the
sale. They do not wish to be reorganized
out of their property.

Gooch's Mexican Syrup has accomplished a cure in this neighborhood which has aston ished the people. Miss Davis was given up to die by her at tending physician. She had lung fever. The doctor said she would die before morning, and advised to discontinue his med icine, as it was doing her no good. Her parents had a bottle of Gooch's Mexican Syrup and Gooch' Quick Relief in the house. They at once began to give the Syrup in doses one hour apart, and frequently bathed her chest with the Quick Relief. Before morning she was better, and after using a few bottles of each, she is almost as we'll as ever. It was almost like raising the dead, and has established the reputation of Gooch's Mexican Syrup here as a cough remedy; we can sell noth- ing else. J. & N. SANDS,

AUTOMOBILE IN WAR.
New And Untried Use for The New
Vehicle.

The automobile affords the most COM
Portable means, as yet devised, for fol-
lowing army maneuvers. OF still more
use than the passenger automobile,
however, for army purposes are the
heavy road automobiles for transport
service. In France experiments have
been carried on for the last three years
with the Scotte automobile, a steam
wagon of twenty-seVen horse power,
weighing only 5000 pounds, which can
carry 1000 pounds and draw another
load of $1,000 pounds at the rate of five
miles an hour. One of these wagons
has gone thirty miles under full load
without putting on water or coal.
Twenty-four of these wagons can sup
ply an army corps of 10000 men with
200 rounds of ammunition per man, over
distance of eighty miles. in inch guns
or transport twenty-four six inch guns
over distance of seventeen miles in
the same time. Take the case of an
intrenched camp for an army of 10000
men, assuming that the distance over
which material and stores have to be
transported is five miles, and that
thirty days are available for the work.
With wagon transportation, the round
trip could be made twice a day, Con-
sequently, over 5000 horses would be
required to transport in the given time
the necessary artillery material and
supplies of provisions-say, about 1000,
0UU pounds. In the meantime these
horses would require for their support
an immense amount of forage, which
would otherwise be stored for possible
siege use. To replace these horses by
automobiles wuld require some thirty
four machines of twenty-five horse
power. An important factor is that the
automobile can transport each load
twice as fast as horses and could also
be utilized more hours of the day for
work. Moreover, with two reliefs, the
thirty-eight drivers, whereas the wa
CONS must be manned by ESQ men.
Running on a temporary track of
rails such high horsepower automo-
biles could carry the heaviest siege
guns on a grade of one and thirty at the
rate of seven miles an hour. By means
of twenty such automobiles, 300 guns
could be brought in position around an
intrenched camp in twenty hours
