Taft Takes Charge of the Philippines

Manila, July 4-Civil government
in the Philippines was auspiciously
inaugurated today. Commissioner
Taft was escorted by General Mac
Arthur and General Chaffee from the
palace to great temporary tribune
on the opposite side Of the Plaza
PIacio. Standing on projecting
centre of the tribune, Mr.. Taft took
the oath of office as Civil Governor of
the Philippine islands. The oath
was administered by Chief Justice
Arnello. Governor Taft was then
introduced by General Macarthur,
the gun of Fort Santiago being fred
by way Of salute.
A feature Of the inaugural address
of Governor Taft was the announce
ment that on September 1st, 1901,
the commission would be increased
by the appointment of three native
members, DR.. Wardo Detavera, Ben
ito Legarda and Jose Luzuriaga.
Before the lst of September, depart
ments will be instituted as follows,
the heads being members of the
United States Philippine commission:
Iuterior-Worchester.
Commerce ard Police-Wlight.
Justice and Finance-Ide.
Public Observation-Disclosures.
OF the q provinces organized,
Governor Taft said tho insurrection
still exists in five. This will cause
the continuance of the military gov
eminent in those sections. Six
teen additional provinces are le-
ported without insurrectiop, but as
yet they have not been organized.
Four provinces are not ready for civil
government. Governor Taft said
that with the concentration of troops
III large garrisons it would be neces-
sary for the people to assist the po-
lice in the preservation Of order.
Fleet launches will be procured, he
said, which will facilitate communi-
cation among the provinces, as well
as aid the postal and revenue depart
ments.
In connection with educational ef-
forts, Governor Taft said that adults
should be educated by an observation
of American methods. He said that
there was reasonable hope that con-
gress would provide a tariff suitable
to assist in the development of the
Philippines and not mere applica-
tion of the United States tariff.
According to Governor Taft there
is an unezpended balance in the insu-
lar treasury of s3,7OO,O0O and an an
nual income of S10,000,000.
The Governor said that any posi-
BILE friction between civil and military
subordinates should be discouraged
The patriotism of the leading Fill
pinos was commended. In conclu-
sion Civil Governor Taft reiterated a
hope expressed by the President that
in the future the inhabitants would
be grateful for the American Philip,
pine victories and that they would be
indissolubly linked in ties of afec
ton with the common country.
The reading of President McKin
ley's message of congratulation was
enthusiastically cheered. The en-
tire front of the tribune, a block
long, was decorated with flags ano
several hundred officers with theil

Crop Prospects.

From Government Bulletin
Columbia, s. c., July 2, 1901.
The week ending Monday, July
1st, averaged slightly warmer than
usual, with maximum temperature
of 1O2 at Batesburg on the 25th, and
a minimum of 60 at Cheraw on the
9th. The temperature was gen.
orally favorable for the growth and
development Of field crops. and there
was about the normal amount of sun
shine. High winds caused some
damage to corn on the 25th.
There were numerous, scattered
showers throughout the week, gen.
orally light, but heavy in places, with
a maximum rainfall of 200 in Pick
ems county. Cultivation made fair
progress where the railfall was light,
but much land remains too wet to
cultivateeand many fields continue
to be grassy, although much grass
was killed during the week. There
are complaints of the ground becom-
ing very hard as it dries. Damage
by hail occurred in Abbeville, Bam-
berg, Barnwell, Newberry and Saluda
counties, and light hail was reported
from a few points. There are pu'
merous reports of corn and cotton
fields being abandoned on account OF
their foul condition and the cost and
difficulty of cleaning them.
There was general Improvement
in the condition of cotton, greatest
on red lands that could be worked,
and in the sea island section, while
on sandy lands the plants continue
to die to some extent, aud generally
are not thriving. Cotton is unusu-
ally small for the season, but has
begun to bloom in places, although
as yet it is fruitipg sparsely. The
general condition of cotton continues
to be unpromisipg. On low-lying
lands it is decidedly off color.
The condition of corn varies greatly
although generally poor over the
eastern half Of the State, where it is
being laid by. Upland corn looks
we'll over the western counties, but
on bottoms it was almost entirely de-
stroyed, and is now being replanted
to some extent. Planting stuble
lands to corn is also under headway.
Over the greater portion of the to-
bscco regions the plants are back
ward and small, but in Kershaw
county tobacco is doing we'll. Cut
ting and curing made slow progress
in Florence county, and has not been
begun in other sections. Rice is
generally thriving. Wheat and oats
are being threshed, and many CORES
pondents report the yields the best
in years. Oats were generally da@~
aged by rain after cutting, but the
damage to wheat was slight.
Minor crops are generally in a
thriving condition, bat peaches and
plums are rotting extensively as they
ripen. Apples continue to drop.
Pastures and gardens, with some ex-
ceptions, are fine. On the whole
there is marked improvement in
the crop prospects but they are still
reported discouraging.

His Excuse.

At village in Staffordshire boy
was detained from school to assist in
sorting potatoes. The school master
as usual on such occasions, desired
the boys father to write and state
the cause of his absence. The next
morning the boy appeared with q
note from his father which contained
but one word-"Keptatomataterlng."
The schoolmaster, astonished at such
a word, pnzzled over it some minutes,
but at LIST discovered it to be kept
at home a-tatering.'

Rheumatism

Rheumatic pains are the cries of protest
and distress from tortured muscles, aching
Joints and excited nerves. The blood has
been poisoned by the accumulation OF
waste matter in the system, and can no

feels the effect OF this acid poison; and
not until the blood has been purified and
brought back to healthy condition will
the aches and pains cease.
