Washington, Feb. 1S.-Goy. Taft
in his testimony before the senate
committee on the Philippines, stated
more succinctly than he has hereto
fore done, his theory-which is, he
said, also the theory of the Philip
| pine commissioners to what con
gress should do in the way of sup
plying the Philippine people with a
| form of government. His plan is,
first, to give the people qualified
suffrage with a gradual growth in
popular government, which should be
enlarged through education in the
English language and in American
institutions. Second, to institute
within a reasonably short time To-
cal legislature to consist of two
bodies, one to be chosen by vote and
the other to be appointive; third, to
permit the islands to send two or
three representatives to Washing
ton.
In reply to questions, Gov. Taft
said he agreed with Gen. Funston
that the establishment of popular
assemblage would give opportunity
to demagogues to stir up the peo-
pie, but that he did not include In
this designation all persons who are
opposed to American control. There
are, he said, many men in the is
lands who conscientiously oppose the
domination of the United States. To
grant independence would, he
thought, have the effect of consign-
ing the 90 per cent. of uneducated
people in the islands to the same
servile position they held under
Spanish rule. He thought there
should be a declaration on the part
of the United States of it's intention
to hold thei stands indefinitely, with
the understanding that when they |
are suitable for such a condition
they may be given quasi-independ-
ence. Such announcement by this
country would be welcomed by many
and would do much good. Many of
the common people do not, he said,
pendence and dependence, and
many of the better informed
have not followed the agita-
ton for independence to it's last
analysis. Some of the agitators
seem, he said, to count upon a pro-
tectorate by the United States. II
the government of the islands should
now be turned over to the islanders
themselves there would be nothing
ess than an absolute oligarchy, they
having no idea of civil government.

Looking Backward.

Col. Nat Jones has vast amount OF
interesting "reminiscences always or
hand, and he delights to recall the
olden days and tell of incidents that
transpired them. The year 1898, he
says, was one of the most eventful in
the history of Maury county. That
was the year the stars fell, which event
frightened everybody and made some
believe that the time of the final reck-
oning was at hand. During that year
the famous 'De Graffenried storm
passed through the western part OF the
county, destroying the De Gratfenried
homestead and killing every member of
the family at home at the time, besides
killing several other persons and devas-
tating everything in its path During
the same twelve months a cholera
epidemic was experienced at Williams
port, Mt Pleasant and Cross Bridges,
about thirty persons dying from the
disease at the first named place alone.
Shelbyville was the only other place
in the State where cholera appeared
that year.
Col Jones also tells OF a Wing rally
at this place during the presidential
campaign of 1874. Ephriam II. Foster,
Gus Henry ana Albert Pike-noted
orators at that time -were to champion
the cause of the Wing at the old fair
grounds on the Mt, Pleasant pike, and
a procession was formed at Columbia
and marched out to the grounds. In
the procession was large wagon drawn
by ten yoke of oxen, and on which
were represented the various trades
I. M. Powell represented the hatter's
trade; Lemaster, was the blacksmith;
Wisdom Moore, the tailor; Lee Hol-
man. the shoe maker; James M.
White, the saddler; Harvey Norman,
the timer while Alexander M. Rose.
borough, with an old Washington hand
press on the wagon, printed Wing
songs and distributed them along the
route. All of these men have passed
into the Great Beyond l. M. Powell,
who died last September, being the
last of the number.
