islands. The lay Catholics, almost to a
man, and practically all Of the parish
priests. will not permit them to come
back to the parishes and hold their
lands in hostile possession. One of the
avowed objects of the insurrectionary
movement under Aguinaldo was to con-
fiscate the friars' lands without any
compensation to the church. The Uni
ted States authorities. recognizing the
intensity and bitterness of this feeling
among the Filipinos, but desirous Of
the most scrupulous fairness toward
the church, were willing to arrange for
the purchase of the church lands by
the government, If the church authori-
ties would withdraw the friars, who
are not now, and for years have not
been, performing the religious functions
among the people, and would replace
them by other members of the churches
who might take up with greater success
the highly necessary religious work
which they are no longer able to per-

ENROLMENT by TOWNSHIPS.

Books for the enrolment Of all the
Confederate veterans Of the county by
townships, in accordance with q resolu-
tion adopted by the state convention of
Confederates and an act Of the general
assembly, are now in the hands OF
Clerk of the Court Wylie. and that Of
fetal is anxious to see the contemplated
work put underway.
This new enrolment seeks to include
the name of every soldier who went to
the war. whether killed during service,
died afterward or is now living. 1t Is
also intended to include a statement OF
the organization to which the soldier
belonged and information as to the
duration Of his service, etc.
The contemplated work Is to be en-
trusted to a county enrolment COM
mittee, which committee Is to consist
of one veteran, who should be chair
man, one son of veteran and a daugh-
ter Of the Confederacy. The veteran
on this committee Is authorized to up
point township committees, consisting
entirely Of veterans, but not limited Us
to numbers, and these township COM
mittees are expected to gather all oi
the required data and to record 1t ii
the books that have been provided fol
the purpose.
simultaneously with the appointment
of the township veterans enrolment
committee, the Sons of Veterans and
Daughters of the Confederacy are re-
quested to organize in every neighbor-
hood and township for the purpose OF
arousing interest locally. and. by their
individual and organized efforts, to en-
deavor to obtain the name Of every vet
eran from the neighborhood entitled to
enrolment with proof Of his service
and submitting the same to the veteran
township committee for enrolment and
to render clerical and other aid to said
veterans committee. The county en-
rollment committee is requested to
arouse the Sons Of Veterans anu
Daughters of the Confederacy to this
important auxiliary work to be rem
dered by them.
Now that the books have been fur
nished, the first step Is the organization
of the county committee. So soon as
the personnel of this committee Is de-
cided upon, the work will likely contin-
ue in proportion to the interest that
may develop.

SATURDAY, JULY l9,l9O2.

: AS the result of a provision In the
new constitution Of Virginia prohibit
ing the use of free passes by holders OF
public office, quite a number of office
holders have resigned, rather than give
up their passes. AS rule they are
men who are connected with the rail-
road business. but who hold various po-
sitions of honor and trust on different
public boards. We have no recollection
of any resignation stampede in connec-
ton with the South Carolina laws pro-
hibiting the use Of free passes, and If
there was any wholesale return of pass
es, the fact is not matter Of record.

GRAND JURY,s REPORT.

The grand jury got through with Its
work last Wednesday morning, and
was discharged after submitting its fl
nal report. This report, which is sign
ed by T. M. Allen, foreman, reads as
follows:
To the Honorable o. w. Buchanan,
Presiding Judge:
Having disposed, to the best Of our
ability, of all the bills of indictment
lodged with us by the solicitor, we, the
grand jury of York county. beg to sub
NIT the following before asking your
honor to discharge us from further at
tendance on this session of the court.
Through committees we have visited
the county home, county stockade and
county Jail, and noted conditions at
these institutions.
We find in the Jail sixteen prisoners
including three lunatics. The prison is
we'll kept in every particular, and we
have no criticism to make on that ac-
count. Generally speaking, however
we do not like the looks of 1t. We think
there is room for improvement in the
matters of comfort. sanitation and Sc
curity: but because of the expense in
volved we are not disposed to recon-
mend any changes at this time, other
than that the piping in connection with
the heating apparatus should be well
painted.
At the stockade and chaingang we
found conditions as satisfactory as
could be expected under the circum-
stances. Systematic business condi-
tions seem to prevail, and we are very
we'll pleased with what we saw. So
we'll pleased in fact, that we desire to
especially commend Supervisor Gordon
and Mr.. Whitener for their efficient
management.
At the county home we found twenty
white paupers and thirteen colored
paupers. These paupers are being we'll
cared for. and the whole institution
seems to be managed in a manner that
is entirely satisfactory. Supervisor
Gordon has appeared before us with
some suggestions looking to improve
ment. At this time the paupers are
housed in number of One-Story two
roomed houses, scattered over q dis
tance Of some 200 yards. Each house
constitutes a separate establishment,
and the expense of maintenance, as
well as the Inconvenience of supervis-
ion. are necessarily greater than If all
the people were housed under one ur
two roofs, and there were arrangements
to furnish cooking. washing, heat. etc,
to all at the same time. In the opinion
Of the supervisor. some change should
be made to this end. The supervisors s
ideas strike us favorably from the
standpoint of practicability, and we
heartily commend the intelligent con-
sideration he is giving the subject: but
we suggest that no expensive changes
be undertaken until such time as the
county may be in better condition to
hear the expense. We find on the coun-
~ home farm quite large crop of
promising corn. and while such barns
and storehOuses as are there are fairly
good, they are likely to prove made
quate to house the harvest. We recon-

Mr.. John Gary Evans is advocating
the proposition to turn the state peni-
tentiary into a fertilizer factory. The
scheme appears to be reasonably plaus-
ible on it's face; but if the people who
use commercial fertilizers consult their
own interests, they will never consent
to a state monopoly Of this commodity.
II the fertilizer combinations become
oppressive, a way can be found to reg
ulate them; but experience with the
dispensary has already been sufficient
to show that state monopoly Of the fer
tilizer business would only add to our
troubles.

THE Beaufort correspondent of The
News and Courier, appears to be for
W. Boyd Evans for railroad commits
sioner and to be afraid of Mr.. Cansler.
Other correspondents have made con-
spicuous mention of Mr.. Cansler. For
instance, the Pickens correspondent of
the Greenville News puts it this way:
Mr.. James Cansler, of Tirzah, York
county, came first. MI. Cansler Is un-
questionably the clown of the aggrega-
ton, and is running his level best, not
for votes, but simply for popularity.
We do not want to be classed as par
tizan of Mr.. Cansler, or of any other
candidate in the race, but we want to
protest against such treatment of Mr..
Cansler. He is not running simply for
popularity, but because he wants the
office; and while we would not hold
him out as being an ideal man for the
place, we. say, without hesitation, that
he is as deserving and as competent as
any of his competitors, and if elected.
will give as honest. intelligent and pa
triotic service as any present or past
member of the board. That Mr.. Cans
ler should be brought into derision or
contempt because he. has the ability to
amuse the crowds, and elects to do,
does not appear to be fair. In the fun
that he is making he is giving his hear
ers some compensation for their attend
ance, and that is much more than can
be said of many other members of the
office-seeking aggregation.

GENERAL SESSIONS.

Considering the number and the i'm
portance of the cases to be disposed OF
at the beginning, the court Of general
sessions has been dragging along with
tedious slowness. Ordinarily the same
amount of business could be transact
ed within two days or such matter;
but the judge has been very patient
and the lawyers and witnesses have
been disposed to take their time with
out any effort at hurry. Following Is
the record:
John Rogers, charged with assault
and battery with intent to kill, was
convicted of simple assault and bat
terry and was sentenced to pay q fine OF
$40 or go to the chaingang for thirty
days.

robbery and larceny, was convicted ana
sentenced to two years at hard labor
in the state penitentiary or on the pub
lie works of the county.

sault and battery with intent to Kill.

being too attentive to his wife. The
Jury returned a verdict Of not guilty.
Sol Barron plead guilty to the charge
of violating the dispensary law and
was sentenced to three months labor
on the public works of the county, with
credit for one month Already served IN
Jail while awaiting trial.
In the case of Ella Gather, charged
with assault and battery with intent TO
kill, the jury was unable to agree upon
verdict. The defendant had tried to
XII. another woman for alternating the
affections of her husband.
Martin Stevenson. charged with as
sault and battery with intent to Kill,
was acquitted.
In the case of Hugh Wallace, charged

mend, therefore, the erection Of a suit
able building. A barn for the cattle be-
longing to the farm is also needed.
We have carefully examined the work
that has been done on the Yorkvii!e and
Rock Hill road, and beg to say that we
feel proud Of our citizenship In a coun-
ty that is far enough advanced to be
willing to spend its money in this way.
We desire also to commend the liberal
ity of our fellow citizens who have as
sisted this work by private subscrip-
tion, and to say that we would like to
see their example more generally fol-
lowed.
We have not yet examined the books
and records of the county offices; but
will do so through an expert before the
convening Of the next session Of court.

Mr.. A. C. Latimer is preaching
against the prevalent buncombe in
which certain politicians indulge
against Republicans. Because they
think it a popular thing to do. some
politicians abuse and bemean Sepubli-
cans from the stump as swindlers and
thieves, and seek to pass this abuse as
evidence of their own loyalty to Democ-
racy. The thing is getting tiresome
Did we not know that when these same
politicians get to Washington, they are
as thick with Republicans socially and
otherwise as with Democrats, such
abuse might be tolerated. But what we
want nowadays is not epithet and in
vective; but a common-sense showing
Of wherein Republicans are wrong and
how their policies are to be improved
upon. Brains, if they are plentiful
go as far in Washington as elsewhere
and Republicans are to be overcome
only by superior brains. When Repub-
leans are in the minority abuse is un-
necessary, and when they are in the
majority, just ordinary silly abuse has
no better effect than to foster a spirit
of retaliation which makes our people
suffer. There has been too much OF
this kind of thing, and too little good
honest, able work. Mr.. Latimer is
right about this matter. 1t is not sug-
geSted that Democrats surrender their
principles to Republicans. This is not
necessary or desirable; but it should
not be forgotten that if right does not
always win. it ought to, and where Re-
publicans are right they should not be
opposed any more than Democrats
would want to be opposed where they
are right. But anyhow let us away
with this vituperation and abuse. this
common cursing, and require of our
would-be representatives that they talk
to us only with ability and sense.

free coinage idea so long as the Demo-
cratic platform stands committed 10

colors are also worn, and the custom
is encouraged by the Dutch who did
not take an active part in the war.
Many Of the burghers assert that they
were induced to agree to surrender by
the false representations of their lead
ers, who painted the terms too rosily.
Discordant elements are numerous and
any attempt to place the burghers who
surrendered during the war in author
ity over those who fought throughout,
will conceivably result in a renewal of
hostilities. The majority of the Beers
have apparently in no way abandoned
their nationality and some Of them
preach the advisability of opening
Dutch schools so as to keep alive their
nationality. The whole situation so
bristlcs with difficulties that there are
not lacking those who doubt if the doc
ument signed May 81 was really the fl
