SCOTLAND

Mr.. A. j. Crimson, of Old Hundred,
was in town last Saturday. Mr.. Brin-
son is a Floridian but this year is
raising watermelons and canteloupes
on Scotland county soil. He has
400 planted in watermelons and
40 T in canteloupes, and expects
to ship 200 car of melons and 10 to
II cars of canteloupes. His melons
have been planted only twenty-five
days and they are already putting
out runners. Mr.. Brinson is a thor
ough watermelon farmer, who knows
what he is talking about, and says
Scotland county soil is fine for mel

THE OLD AND NEW PRESIDENTS.

The retirement yesterday of Rev.
J. B. Shearer, D. D., from the presi-
dency of Davidson College, was an
event in the educational life of
North Carolina. He has been a pow
erful force in this field. A man of
exceptional executive ability, he has
brought Davidson to a high stand
ard of prosperity and usefulness, but
his influence has not been confined
to this institution nor his own de
nomination but has been felt for
good in the general work of educa.
ton and Christianization through
out the State. While his retirement
is to be regretted, Davidson College
and all the interests that have just
been mentioned, which he has served,
are most fortunate in his
DR.. Henry Louis Smith is one of the
very ablest of the younger men of
the State, and to this he adds rare
tact and attractiveness. He has
spent his lie in the work in which
he is engaged, is devoted to it, sue
cessful in it, is scholarly, progressive
and of wide vision. All of mis- quail
ties mark him for success in the
high position to which he has been
called. His inaugural address, the
text of which is quite worthy of him
is but the earnest of what may be
expected of him in the presidency of

Old officers Re-eleoted-DalIar, Texas, Place
of Next Meeting-The Battle Abbey.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, May 29.-The Con-
federate veterans convention ad-
journed this evening to meet next
year in Dallas, Texas.
General John B. Gordon was re-
elected Commander of the orIer
without opposition, and the scene
which followed the announcement
that for one year longer he would
preside Over the work of the Organi-
zatiOn, was touching. The old sol
diers sprang to their feet and cheered
the General with frantic energy.
Delegates climbed upon their chairs,
made the building ring with their
shouts and filed the air with their
waving hats as they applauded him
again and again. 1t was u minute
or two before the General could mas
ter his emotion sufficiently 80 ex-
press his thanks for the honor
awarded to him, and to express his
gratitude for the expressions of good
will with which his reelection had
been received.
The convention has been memoir
able in another respect, and that is
in the decision that steps are to be
taken for the erection Of the Battle
Abbey in Richmond. The work of
erecting a memorial to the cause of
the South has passed beyond the
preliminary stage and now the actual
buildings will be commenced. With
in ninety days the members of the
Executive Committee will meet in
the city of Richmond for the pur-
pose of completing details for the
commencement of the building and
the laying of the cornerstone. The
committee has in hand the funds to
warrant the work and from nov it
is expected that there will be no
more delay in the erection of the
memorial.

THE PLATT AMENDMENT ACCEPTED.
The Cuban Constitutional Convention by g
Vote of Is to IA so Decides.

- -
Vote of Is to IA so Decides.
HAVANA, May 28.-The Platt
Amendment was accepted by the
Cuban Constitutional Convention
to-day by a vote of Is to IA. The
actual vote was on accepting the
majority report of the Committee
on Relations which embodies the
amendment with explanations of
certain clauses.
The radicals made a hard fight at
the last moment and SenOres POrtu-
ondo, Gomez and Tamayo bitterly
arraigned the Conservatives. Senior
Tamayo was particularly vindic-
tive and declared that everybody
who voted in favor of the Platt
Amendment was a traitor to his
country. The convention compelled
him to retract this statement. On
several occasions personal encOun-
tiers seemed imminent.
Senior Gomez spoke for more than
an hour and his speech undoubtedly
won over Senores Castro, Robau and
Manduley. He appealed to the
patriotism of delegates and rehearsed
the long fight for independence, de-
nouncing as perjurers all who favored
the Platt Amendment, on the ground
that they had sworn to draw up a
constitution for an independent re-
public.
Several Conservatives rose and
asked Senior Gomez to r~etract, but
he absolutely refused.
The following delegates voted
against the majority report:
Gomez, Gener, Portuondo, Lacret,
Manduley, Cisneros, Ferrer, Forum,
Robau, E. Tamayo, Silva, Castro,
Zayas and Aleman.
Senores Rivera and Bramo we're
absent.
The convention will continue it's
sessions which will be devoted to
drawing up the election law.

evening exclaims "NOw will come

as EDITOR ABERNETHY SEES IT.

There are 15, 900 people in Burke,
outside Of Morganton, and 1900 in
town yet the $4,000 in the country
don't feed the 1900 in town. They
don t feed themselves. The Herald
finds men in Morganton eating beans
from Mcdowell, sweet potatoes from
Catawba, butter from Pennsylvania,
corn from the West, meat from
Chicago and St. Louis. They are
feeding their stock or hay fetched
from Richmond. Add to this the
heavy drain for clothing, and the
wonder is that Burke is not one big
poOr house. At a conservative esti-
mate, more than a half million dol
lars goes out of Burke every year in
clean cash for things that ought to
be raised on the rich bottoms of the
Catawba, Johns, Linville, Lower
Creek and other streams, not to speak
of our fertile uplands. All this vast
amount of money should be kept at
home. The salvation of our county
is in its farms. The wholesale de-
struction Of our timer is only a tub
to the whale, and will leave us poorer
in the end. There is nothing-worse
than nothing in tan bark. Some
time ago a farmer in the county, cut
a magnificent shade tree worth 800
to his place, and got $6 for the bark.
There is little profit in cutting and
hauling wook, and too often it is
done at the neglect of the farm. All
this must end some time, and leave
u children poorer than we are.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1901-06-04

We beg our farmers to believe that
hope lies in making what we use
and keeping our money at home.
Raise more corn, wheat, fodder,
chickens, hay, hogs, cattle, sheep and
horses. Buy from your home mer-
chants. Take your home paper.
The reckoning must come some day,
aud Burke county, rich as it is, can
not stand this steady drain. Too
many people-especially negroes
loaf about town when they ought to
be bringing the wealth from our hills
and valleys. The farmer who sells
his corn at so cents and buys it back
at 80 cents may not be a fool, but
certainly he is not a farmer. The
only thing we lack to make us one
of the richest counties in the State
is a baptism of hard horse sense

worth $48, 900. He says he does not
nov believe it will fetch over $25, 600.
He said: "This thing grows beauti-
fully worse every time it is looked
at" This is a caustic criticism OF
the ex-admin1stration, which he says
spent $4O4, 900 in two years, by it's
W reports, and in that time lost
SIS, 900 despite the fact that cotton
was 9 to 10 cents that there were
big crops and no freshets in the
Roanoke river. Director O'Berry

EQUALITY OF MAN REPUDIATED.

LONDON, May 3O.-The Morning
Leader (radicaD declares that the
Supreme Courts decision is a revo-
luton that overturns the very basis
of the Declaration of independence.
The United States are now about to
tax Porto Rico much as King George
taxed them. They have thrown
aside completely the old dogma about
the natural equality of man. France,
after all, has been truer to the re
publican ideal, for even Algiers and
Tonquin are departments sending
representatives to Paris. The Anglo
Saxon race no longer leads in the
matter of freedom.

CUBAN CONSTITUTION REJECTED.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The admin
%istration has decided that the action
of the Cuban Constitutional Conven-
ton, in accepting the terms of the
Platt amendment with notifications
and interpretations of their own, was
not Substantial" compliance with
our terms within the meanin 2 of the
amendment. Hence, the President
and his cabinet refused to accept the
Cuban constitution, and so notified

jury decided in favor of Rev. T. j.
Gattis, in his suit for damages, insti-
tuted against Rev. DR.. JnO. G. Kilgo,

was awarded $40, 900 damages. Kilgo
appealed to the Supreme Court, which
body, it was announced Friday, 31st,
ult., grants him anew trial. Justice
Montgomery delivers the opinion of
the court. There is no dissenting
opinion. Justice Clark did not sit in
this case. The opinion is of great
length.

RURAL DISTRICT LIBRARIES.
sixty-twO District Schools Have Complied
With Requirements.

sixty-two District Schools Have Complied
With Requirements.
The funds for the State appropria-
ton to the rural district libraries
will be available July 1. Interest is
steadily increasing in the work.
Yesterday General Toon, Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction, re-
ceived notification from Mr.. w. D.
Redfearn, County Superintendent of
schools, that commissioners have ap-
propriated $40 each TO six schoO
districts in Arson county in which
the necessary so public subscription
had been raised. He also notified
General TOon that the several dis
tricts would expect the allowance of
$40 each from the State when the
funds are available. There are six
counties in which six tOwnships-the
greatest number that can receive aid
from the State-have raised the pre-
requisite local subscription and cOun-
ty appropriations, and filed formal
application for the State appropria-
ton. They are Iredell, Arson, Dur
ham, BERTHE, Nash and Rutherford
Other counties from which more APP
plicatiOns have been received are ::
Wilson, 4; Brunswick, 3; Meoklen-
burg, 3; Warren, 2; Greene, 2.
Counties in which only one district
each has filed application r Du-
plin, Lincoln, Columbus, Orange,
Franklin, Meoklenburg, Onslow,
Cherokee, Caldwell, Bladen and
Henderson.
AS previously announced, every dis
trict in Durham county is to get the
advantage of the rural library law,
owing to the philanthropy of Col.
Julian S. Carr, who has announced
that he will donate the ten dollars to
each of the districts other than the
first six in the stead of the State. In
this way toevery district in that coun-
ty in which the necessary ten dollars
is raised by the people OF the district
an additional ten dollars each will
be donated by Colonel Carr and the
County Commissioners.
The Superintendent of Public In
struction says that he has received
letters of inquiry from nearly every
county of the State, which indicates
that a great deal of work is being
done with a view to raising subscrip
tions so that the State aid can be
asked. It is thought that by the
time the appropriation is available,
July l, there will scarcely be a coun-
ty in which there will not be a dis
trict which has not qualified to re-
ceive the fund and purchase the

THE CATHERINE PAGE CHAPEL AT THE
METHODIST ORPHANAGE.

The eight children of the late Mrs
A. F. Page, who died at her home in
Aberdeen, N. c., in 1892, have con-
tributed the sum of four thousand
dollars to the fund tor the erection
of the main building of the Method
ist Orphanage in Raleigh. AS much
of this as shall be required for the
purpose, to be used in the interior
finishing, decorating and furnishing
of the chapel, which is to be dedi-
Gated to the memory of their mother,
and called the Catharine Page
Chapel.
All the friends of the Orphanage
will rejoice to learn of this very
handsome gift to what is destined to
be n of the first institutions in the
South for the care and education of
orphan children. It is peculiarly
fitting that the chapel should be
named the"Catharine Page Chapel, "
for SO far the donations of the late
Mr.. A. E. Page and his children "lead
all the rest" of the generous contrib
utors to the building of the Method
ist O~rphanage. Mr.. Pages gift is
worth from $1,000 to $1O,O OO, and to
this is added the gift by his children
of $4,000, making about $12, 900.
These generous donations ought
to stimulate others to make large or
small gifts to this institution which
is to bless the city and the State

SENATOR MOLAUR1N's ADDRESS.

The Junior Senator from the Palmetto State
Replies to the Statement Made by His Col
league.
CHARLESTON, S. c., May 3O.-Sen-
ator John l.. McLaurin issued an adj
dress to the people of the State from
his home in Bennettsville today. He
opens by saying that the recent ad-
dress to the people by Senator Till
man makes it necessary that he
should say something in explanation
of his motives and actions, and that
chad it not been for Senator Till
mans intrusion upon the Gafney
meeting there would have been no
necessity for it. A joint debate was
precipitated by him contrary to my
wishes and of the gentlemen who in
vited me-" He continues
"It is too late now to consider
whether it was wise or unwise, and
the people must judge between us.
l desire to announce my candidacy in
opposition to the senior Senator for
the unexpired long term, and 1 will
discuss with him in d fair and repu-
table name the national issues of
the day, and leave it to you to judge
who can o honestly and honor
ably represent you in the United
States Senate. In 1892 I was elected
to the Senate as a Democrat, and I
am still a Democrat.
1.-The people shall judge of
Democracy, and not the senior SEN
ator. The senior Senator is addicted
to making reckless and false charges
against others which he never sub.
stimulates. An honest man is always
chary in charging others with dis
hOnesty-the thief often cries, stop
thief He is an ambitious boss and
habitual disturber of the political
peace of South Carolina.
"FellOw-cltizens, there never will
be anything like unity or quietude
among Our people until he is rele-
gated TO private lie. his lncendlary
appeals to class hatred and preju-
dice, such as he made at Gaffney to
factory operatives, and his dictate
rial spirit and utterances, will keep
up discussions and discord in the
State. With the aid of the people,
l will make a heroic effort to break
down bossism, with its train CT po-
liticaI evils, and 1 invite all good cit.
liens to assist me to inaugurate an
era Of free thought, free speech and
independence of action in South Car
DINA. The senior Senator, in the
quieUude of a farmers life in Edge
field county, could be viewed as a
pitchforkless pigmy and a blessing to
the State"

THEIR DESIGNATIONS NOT ACCEPTED.

COLUMBIA, S. G June Gov. Nc
Sweeney, returning from Memphis
yesterday, has notified Senators Nc
Laurin and TiIlman that he will not
accept their designations. His reasons
may be put in a few words. A can
vass between them would result in
bitterness, stir up the people just at
a period when they are trying to get
together for the material progress of
the State, and would be a campaign
of DE. sonalities instead or education.
Next year there will be ample oppor-
tunity for a full discussion. Holding
these views, the governor says his
duty is plain.
Senator Tllman says the governor
cannot refuse to accept, and that the
canvass must continue.

WHAT IT

Decision in the Porto Rico Tariff Cases
Analyzed-One Point I~nvOIved-Ceded
Islands Become Domestic Territory, but
Congress May Legislate For Them as 1t
Pleases.
WASHINGTON, May 28.-John T.
Richards, solicitor-general of the
Department of Justice, tonight gave
out the following statement regard
ing the decisions of the Supreme
Court in the Porto Rico cases:
1.-THE important question involved
In these cases was whether the ces-
sion contained in the treaty of Paris
made Porto Rico and the Philippines
an integral part of the United States,
within the meaning of the provision
of the Constitution requiring all
duties, imposts and exercises, to be
uniform throughout the United
States. The court held that the ces-
sion did not make Porto Rico and
the Philippines an integral part of
the United States within the mean
ing of this limitation, but simply
made it domestic territory of the
United States, subject to the full
control of Congress, which could be
exercised without reference to this
limitation. This limitation, the court
held, was intended to apply to the
States of the Union, and does not
apply to acquired territory unless by
the treaty or the subsequent act of
Congress it is incorporated within
and becomes an integral part Of the
United States.
"The decision is a substantial vic
tory for the government. 1t sus-
tains to the fullest extent the So
called insular policy of the admins
tration. The government now has
the sanction of the Supreme Court
for governing these islands a. their
needs require. The court holds that
the Constitution did not of it's own
force apply to these coded territories
placing their people, their products
and their ports on an immediate
equality with ours and comforting
upon them all the rights, privileges
and immunities enjoyed by the peo-
pie, the products, and the ports of
the several States. While their fun
damental rights are preserved by
these underlying principles Of the
Constitution which apply elsewhere,
the status of their citizens and the
nature of the customs and CONNER
cial regulations are problems to be
determined by Congress under the
exercise of the power vested by the
Constitution in Congress to pass all
needful rules and regulations for the
government of the territory belong
ing to the United States.
''Obviously, whatI have said above
as to the cession of Porto Rico ap-
plies equally we'll to the oession of
the Philippines, SO that the Presi-
dent is perfectly free, under the
Spooner act, to govern the Philip
pines as their needs and our interests
may require.
CAT the same time that the court
has sustained to the fullest extent
the contention of the government in
in these cases, it has held as a mat
ter of statutory construction that
the Dingley act could not be held to
impose duties on goods brOughtfrom
Porto Rico, because by the cession
Porto Rico became territory belong
ing to the United States, domestic
territory and therefore ceased to be
a foreign country"

WASHINGTON, June Mrs. Nc
klnley is still very i'll. There is a
feeling that she may die at any time
or that her remarkably tenacious
mold upon life may be retained for
some weeks or even months, but few
