Great Value of the Records.
THE safe-keeping of the records is q
matter which, of course, comes especially
home to the officers responsible for their
care, who see them daily exposed to loss,
decay and all the accidents which at any
moment may destroy them in whole or in
part. Their real value will not be appre-
c1ated, perhaps until some casualty has
put them beyond recovery. There seems
never to have been a dissenting opinion
with the committees of Congress or officers
as to the necessity for action, as the num-
Der of bills offered and the reports called
for by Congress amply prove. 1t Is under
stood how the great pressure of business
and the vast multitude of affairs which de-
mand attention have caused delays, but the
growth of the files is an ineXorable fact, it
must continue during the time spent in

VOLLEY OF QUESTIONS
Gen. Hughes Examination
Causes Irritation.
SENATORS OBJECT TO IT
FILIPINOS AND THE CAPTURE OF
MANILA.
Governor Taft Testifies Further Con-
cerning slavery-Favors Philip
pine Delegates to Congress.

Gen. Hughes was subjected to a series OF
questions by Senator Patterson and other
minority members Of the Senate committee
on the Philippines in the course of his tes-
timony before that committee today. In
reply to these questions he said that the
Filipino forces would have been of but
little assistance if 1t had been necessary
to capture Manila from the Spaniards by
assault.
1.-The capture Of that city was by pre-
arrangement between Gen. Merritt and
Admiral Dewey and the Spanish COM
mander, was it not?' Mr.. Patterson asked.
Il know nothing about that responded
Gen. Hughes.
LAS a military man, what is your belief
founded upon your conversation with your
superiors? Mr.. Patterson then asked.
Senator Beveridge insisted that the ques-
tion was not proper, but Senator Patterson
insisted that it was.
II would ask" said the witness, "if 1t
would not be much better to excuse me
from answering in view of the fact that
Gen. Merritt is in Washington and you can
get the information from him first hand"
Il prefer to ask you, and you can answer
as you see fit
II don't think I ought to answer that
question:" replied Gen Hughes.
Continuing his testimony in reply to fur
ther questions the witness said the Fill
pinos had aided the Americans materially
by their knowledge of the country and the
accommodations they had supplied, but that
the Filipinos have never been considered a
part of the fighting force in the operation
against the Spanish forces. THE principal
consideration in connection with them was
to keep them out of the way" he said
Mr.. Patterson expressed surprise that
Gen. Hughes should deny that the Filipinos
had been of substantial aid in this work
In response to further questioning by Mr..
certainly construe Gen. Otis remark, refer
red to in his report Of September 13, 1898,
that he would use force to compel the in

would use the United States military

Mr.. ROOSEVELI'S LUCK.
IT is DEAD AGAINST HIM ON
THIS HUNT.
He Goes Out Bear Hunting Again
and Returns to Camp
Empty Handed.

Smedes, Nov. 17.-Hunters who
are trying to make it possible for the
President to shoot bear on the Lit
tie SunfioWer river admitted some
what dejectedly to-day that there
seemed to ,e some sort of a conspir-
acy working against them.
To-day another bear was slain, but
Mr.. McDougal, of Smedes, got him.
The BEARS track was found by the
dogs soon after the President started
out of camp at daylight this morn
ing. The woods were wet, it was
still raining and the air was chilly.
It was day to make the dogs able
to do their best. The BEARS trail
was old, but the dogs took it up en-
Enthusiastically and travelled so fast
that Mr.. McDougal was the only one
who could keep in touch with them.
The negroes about here say of him
by the way: "Mr. Mac, he goes
through the woods like a snake"
He is seemingly able to ride his
little horse through a brier tangle
thirty feet high and fifty feet thick
and come out on the other side with
himself and horse unscratched when
another man would be bleeding and
mass of scratches if he got through
at all. Mr.. MacDougal distanced the
rest who lost the cry after a while
and went YEARLY back to camp.
Mr.. McDougal came in late in the
afternoon with the carcas Of a bear
hang over the back of the horse. At
ter hearing his report the veteran
hunters solemnty decided that the
bears of the Little Sunfiower district
have all heard Of the Presidents
visit and have fled the country. The
one ki! ed to-day was one late in
settling up his affairs before the ex-
odus, the cub of Friday being aban-
doned by selfish ma and the big
bear of Friday being too sick to
travel.
To-day's bear was travelling due
east from the camp when the dogs
found his trail. The President is
going to make one last hunt to-mor-
row and hopes for the best.
Tomorrow night the members of
the camp will be entertained at dim
ner by Mr.. Fish in his car, the Ma
rian, which is a part Of the special
train. During the night the train
will be moved TO Memphis, where
the Luke Wright celebration will
occupy the President all day, be-
ginning at 9:3O in the morning.

Biltmore, Nov. III. T. Steph-

that he was guilty of any crime, but
was attempting to clear up misun-
derstanding when he was shot to
death. His remains arrived in Ashe-
vile Monday and were inferred in
the family graveyard.

BOOKER WASHINGTON,S
MISTA KE.
Charlotte Observer.


In becoming the chief adviser of
the President for the entire South, a
triumph of certain kind has been
attained by Booklet T. Washington
the man and by the negro race
through his representation. It means
no little when white men like
Pritchard, of North Carolina and
Bingham, of Alabama, are set aside
at the suggestion and advice of ne
gro. And yet this unusual triumph
is little better than a soap-bubble for
solidity and substance. It must of
necessity be of an evanescent nature.
And in the long run it will doubt
less prove more harmful than bene-
fetal. Booker Washington is out of
his sphere. His place is as the edu-
Gator Of the negro youth. He has
time and again in his public utter
ances advised them to eschew poll
tics and devote themselves to learn
ing trades-to making themselves
valuable, even indispensable, as artis-
ans. He should practice what he
breaches. He sets them a poor ex-
ample in dabbling in politics himself
when he tells them there is nothing
in it for the race. His course will
inevitably result in his incurring the
enmity Of Southern white Republic
cans and the suspicion OF Southern
white Democrats. A leading North
Carolina Republican politician re-
marked the other day that Wash
ington and his race had more to ex-
pect from Southern white Democrats
than Northern white Republicans.
The former are the people among
whom the negro educators lot is
cast. They are the people his Tus-
keegee boys and girls are being fitted
to serve. They are the best friends
the race ever had and the only ones
who understand the negro perfectly,
gauge him justly and appreciate him
at his true worth. In straying from
educational into political fields,
Washington, as the great leader and
exemplar of his people, is holding
up before them an unrealizahle ideal,
and injuring his own influence ac-
quired through long years of SUBJ
stantial service.

Apropos of the important meeting

generally.
In concluding an extended article
on the movement commenting it

CATER studying these matters for

the conclusion that the proper way
to manage them is to have COM
mittee of three ladies each in twenty
one districts of the city whose duty
it will be to report the condition of
their respective portions Of Atlanta
to the entire board of sixty-three
ladies. These sixty three ladies will
then take up the matter with the

REMOVAL FOR WILCOX.
HE COULD NOT HOPE FOR A
FAIR AND JUST TRIAL
AT HIS HOME.
After Much Argument On Both
Sides Judge Moore Ruled
In Favor of the Defense.
Chowan County is
Thought to Be
the Place.

Elizabeth City, Nov, 18.-Wilcox,
the alleged murderer of Ella Maude
Cropsey, in the Superior Court to-
day, presented an affidavit to the ef-
feet that he could not receive a fair
and impartial trial in this county,
and asked that the trial be moved
elsewhere. This was supplemented
by like affidavit by t. p. Wilcox,
his father. The attorneys for the
prosecution produced counter affi-
davits, one of which was signed by
the leading business men of the city.
The solicitor contended that to move
the trial would be putting the county
under too much expense and serious
ly inConveniencing the witnesses in
various ways. The county commits
sioners presented an affidavit to the
effect that sentiment against Wilcox
had IN a great degree subsidized and
that no county would give him a
more impartial trial according to
their knowledge and belief.
Counsel for the State and defense
then presented their argument. The
court room was crowded and indica-
tiops are that interest has in no way
subsided. The prisoner was the same
cool, Indifferent, self-satisfied Great
ure as ever. He appeared little con-
cerned as to the outcome.
Late this afternoon the arguments
We're concluded and Judge Moore
ruled in favor Of the defense The
trial of the noted prisoner will be
carried elsewhere. At what place
and at what time the new trial will
take place is not yet determined. It
