IT'S LIBERTY OR DEATH
G. f. WOnsOn, q Former Campaigner
Gives His Views on Outcome
of Struggle.

THE Filipinos will, in my opinion,
achieve national independence or fight
until they are annihilated, said G. F..
Wonson of Gloucester. Mass, at the
Hotel Nicollet to-day. Mr.. Wonson was
formerly captain of the Forty Sixth
years in fighting for Uncle Sam in the far
east and in Cuba Mr.. Wonson added:
The islands are worthless to us nation.
OF course, a few rich spectators VIII secure
valuable franchises, gobble up things there
and make lot of money. But can't see
how possession of the islands is going to dc
the American people any good.
A wrong impression prevails in this coun-
try regarding the Filipinos. The upper and
middle classes are very intelligent, quick to
learn, and naturally progressive. Under
Spanish rule they had no incentive to do any
thing, but they are learning fast now. They
are smart enough to initiate American meth
DDS and adopt American customs so far as
they find them an improvement.
I really believe that education will only
make them more subtle and difficult to dea
with. The idea Of independence has domi-
mated the Filipino mind for centuries, but
tribal differences have prevented anything
like concerted action toward that end. The
jealousies of rival leaders and factions have
operated to defeat their dream. But what
ever their tribal differences, they are unit
on the independence proposition.
If the United States retains possession
Of the islands we must maintain an army On
from 10000 to $4,000 men there for a great
many years, and doubt If the Filipinos will
I ever come under the yoke Of independence.

Success Depends on Good rlauaxe-
ment.

Rev. P. K. Law in Lumberton Robesonian
When it is said that there is dan
ger of building too many cotton mills,
nobody so far as we know believes il.
The fact is then pointed out that all
the mills that are under good bust
ness management are paying good
dividends. 1t is further said that
many of the mills are being enlarged
or their owners are building other
mills. Ii appears to be true of cot
ton milling as it is of other kinds of
business that it pays ii wisely man
aged. The management always set
ties the question of success rather
than the kind of business. We have
repeatedly seen men sell out their
farms and move away because they
could make no money on them and
their purchasers make handsome
living and lay up money on them.
Wise planning and industrious execu-
ton usually brings success. This is
true of farming, prscticing law or
any other business
