which divide counties. Commission
ers OF both counties are to meet and
determine and levy tax to build such
bridges, and if one COUNT refuses to
pay It's part the other county is given
the power to sue in the Superior
Court and get "a judgement for the
proper amount. The limit of taxa

10 to 40 cents on the 500 valuation,

such township to an amount not X

Mount Olive Advertiser Every
thing indicates that the trucking
season of 1901 will be one of the most
prosperous since the industry as
sumed anything like commercial i'm
portance. The acreage devoted to
c~antalOupes will be at least double
that of last year, and the acreage in
Irish potatoes will be fully equal to
that of former seasons. There will
be a smaller crop of strawberries
than usual if the season is an aver
age one, but if the season proves to
be unusually prOpitious, the yield
will, in all probability, be a normal
one in the Mount Olive district, with
decreased yield in the sections
further South. Spectators from
the North appear to realize that
there will be u shortage in the berry
crop, and, with an eye always open
to the main chance, are now endeav-
Oring to purchase entire crops. At
places'south of Mout Olive, several
crops have been sold at 800 an acre,
the berries to be delivered at the
railroad.

HILL NOT A CANDIDATE.

So Says an Albany Correspondent-Would
Rather be a Prosperous Lawyer Than Pres
ident-Wil Remain in Politics but Will
Take No Leadership.
NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-The announce
ment that Senator Hill is not a can
didate for the presidential nomina-
ton of his party in 1904, is made by
the Albany correspondent Of Leslie's
Weekly, in the current issue. He
says:
81 have the highest authority for
the statement that Senator Hill is
not ID candidate in any sense, for the
presidential nomination that he is
not responsible for the action Of his
friends, and will in no way encOur-
age the continuance of such action.
Whatever Senator Hills ambition
may have been in the past, he treas
ures no presidential ambition now.
He is ~engrOssed in his law practice.
It has grown larger and more lucra-
tive each year, and his absorption
in professional duties gives him little
time and less inclination to respond
to the growing Call for him to ac-
lively assume the party's leader

Wealth OF THE PHILIPPINES.
Facts Cleaned from the Report of Taft Com
mission.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-In the course
of a lengthy report on the Philippine
Islands just submitted to Congress,
the Commission, among other
things, says that the islands are esti-
mated to contain about $4,000, 600
acres of land, of which less than
5000, 900 are held in private owner
ship, leaving in public lands over
68, 900, 600 acres; that this land is
for the most part exceedingly fertile,
we'll watered, adapted to the raising
of a great variety of useful crops,
much Of it covered by the most val
liable timber with extensive deposits
Of gold, or copper, of high grade
iron and of excellent coal; that
more than d thousand mining pros
peCtOrs, mostly American, are al
ready scattered throughout the
islands waiting for the enactment of
some law under which they may &C
quire rights to mining claims cover
ing their discoveries Of mineral that
the public lands have never been sur
veyed that no facilities have been
afforded for the FilipinOs to acquire
title, and that from two to four hun
dred thousand of the natives are nov
living as squatters on these lands
waiting for some homestead or set
tiers law under which they can be-
come owners of the land they till or
till other lands that capital is wait
ing ready to inaugurate the enter
prises which shall develop this vast
natural wealth, but there is no au-
thority under which railroads or
other means of communication can
be constructed to get the products Of
the land to the market; that the
building of 50 miles of railroad al
ready surveyed would throw open to
the inhabitants of the islands as an
unsurpassed health resort the high
table land Of Benguet in Northern
Luzon, free from tropical vegeta-
ton, with forests of pine, and with
the cool and i~nvigorating climate of
the northern temperate o but
there is no law under which the rail
roads can be built that under all
these disadvantages business has
increased and the customs receipts
are more than double the amount
collected by the Spanish government
from the same source but the bust
ness is hampered and endangered by
the scarcity Of currency, and there
is 10 law under which currency can
be supplied from public CT private
source. The army has brought the
Philippines to the point where they
offer d ready and attractive field for
investment and enterprise but to
make this possible there must be
mining laws, homestead and land
laws, general transportation laws,
banking and currency laws.
Such laws the military government
cannot supply. Broad and perem-
tory as are its powers for the time,
it is temporary in its character and
cannot project it's authority into the
future. It cannot give title to the
settler or the miner, or corporate
rights to the bank of the railroad.

SPECIAL MASTERS REPORT CONFIRMED.
Judge Simonton Rules Favorable to FertiI-
izer Rates.

An important ruling by Judge
SimOntOn was filed in the office of
Clerk Riddick of the United States
Circuit Court there yesterday, which
puts an end to the famous fertilizer
rate suit pending for some time
against the order of the Corporation
Commission reducing the minimum
car load to 10 tons instead of Is.
The case is entitled Virginia Mat
thews vs.. the North Carolina Cor
poration Commission and the Caro-
lima Central Railroad Company,
which was agreed before Judge 81
monitor in Charleston recently on the
report of E. S. Martin, special
master. The opinion, which is very
lengthy, confirms the report OF the
special master and pays q high com
pliment to the ability displayed in
preparation and presentation of facts
and conditions OF law. In conclusion
Judge SimontOn says: 1.-The reason
ing and conclusions of the special
master are perfectly satisfactory.
The exceptions 7 ~Overruled and
the report confirmed"
The decision is in favor of the de-
PENDANT Corporation Commission,
establishing the legality of their
circular No. l fixing a rate on fertil-
izers and making minimum Il load
lots ten tons instead of 15.-RaleiSh

CUBA AND THE UNITED STATES.

The completion and presentation to
the convention of the first draft the
Cuban constitution has given rise to
considerable discussion in regard to
the relations which are to exist be-
tween the island and this country.
The constitution provides for absO-
lutte sovereignty, and makes no ref
erence to the maintenance of special
relations with the United States. If,
however, Washington dispatches
are to be believed, the administers
ton is not disposed to consent to the
establishment of a complete sOver-
eigntv in Cuba. Thus the correspOn-
dent of the New York Herald says /:
E'President Mckinley and his advis-
ers are resolved that Cuba must not
be fOOtlOOSe in the matter of her
international relations that she
must not be vested with the power
to engage in war which would prove
detrimental to the interests Of this
government, and that the United
States must take reasonable precau-
tions against any such entanglements
on the part OF its ward. 1t is I'M
dOubtedIy the desire OF the Pres
dent that there shall be some dOcu-
ment that will forever show that
this country has not been ignored.
Without some such provision the
Cuban convention would have been
called in vain, as its work would
not be accepted by the government.
Cuba's relations to this country
must not be such as will allow the
possibility Of foreign interference
and Of turmoil, to the detriment and
worry of the government.

New YORK, Feb. Negotiations
are in progress for the purchase of
the Havana Commercial Company
by the American Tobacco Company.
1t was rumored in Wall Street yes
terday that the deal has been closed,
but the officials of the Havana Com
mercial Company say this was IN
true. They admitted, however, that
overtures had been made for the &C
QUESTION of the property by the
American Tobacco Company. The
price to be paid was not disclosed.

5000, 900 FOR PENSIONS.

The South Carolina House of Representa-
tives Doubles the Amount Allowed Exon
federates.
COLUMBIA, S. c., Feb. By a de-
cisive majority the House of Repre-
sentatives to-day passed a bill appro-
priating 5000, 900 for Confederate
pensions. This is double the amount
heretofore appropriated for this pur-
p0se>and the increase is regarded IS
very significant. The author of the
bill is Capt. j. Hamp Brooks, Of
Greensboro, younger brother OF
Preston S. Brooks, who caned Chas.
Sumner in the United States Senate
before the civil war.
1t conveys d rather striking idea
OF the growth Of the country in pop
uIation to consider that the two
States of Iowa and Minnesota con-
tain together more inhabitants than
did the country over which Wash
ington became President in 1889.

The uneasy Creeks are merely
writing "a little under the enforce
ment of the Curtis law of 1898, the
main feature of which is the abOli-
ton of all tribal laws of the Indians

members of the tribes shall be gov
erned and pushed by the laws of the
United States just the anne as other
