IN THE UNITED STATES SENATE.
philippine Question Causes Warn Debate.

| Washington, February S.-The Philip
pine question in the Senate gave rise to
still further heated discussion in which
some very hard words were used. AS
usual Senator Tillman was in the fore
front and talked out his views of the
matter in strong language. Senator
Foraker was the chief speaker in defense
of the governments policy.
| Senator Tillman, of South Carolina,
interrupted Senator Foraker to denounce
the sedition laws enacted by the Philip
pine commission as "damnable doctrine"
est might be in order," said Senator
Foraker, "to inquire of the Senator from
South Carolina on which side of the
struggle in the Philippines are his sym
patbies p''
MY sympathies are with the Filipi-
pinos," shouted Senator Tillman, pound
ing his desk emphatically.
Undoubtedly they are," retorted SEN
ator Foraker, "and such a flat-footed and
unqualified declaration as the Senator has
made would render the revised statutes
applicable to himself if he were not pro.
tected by his position as Senator"
Senator Rawlins, of Utah, interrupted
Senator Foraker with question as to
the sedition laws enacted by the Philip
pine commission, and in the course of
his remarks said that Senator Foraker
had denounced tho Senator from South
Carolina.
Senator Foraker declined to yield fur
ther to Senator Rawlins and declared
hotly that he had not denounced Senator
Tillman, but had merely announced the
fact that the Senator's utterances on the
Philippine question would make him
liable to the statutes of the United States
if he were not protected by his position" !"
'Wo are in fair way" said he, "to
subdue the insurrection in the Philippine
islands, and we will accomplish that Urd
if the Filipinos do not get too much en-
couragement from men in and out of
Congress-"
Senator Tillman said that he had seen
n statement from Gen. Chaffee that
practically the entire Philippine popula-
tion was imbued with hatred of Ameri-
cans.
''In view of this statement" said he,
"must we continue this infamous, tyrani-
cal, British, South African, then hesi-
tating few seconds he continued: "I'll
stop right here, because can't find a
word hot enough to apply to the situa-
tion.'
81 want to say to the Senator and to
the Senate" retortcd Foraker, with great
vehemence, "that our army will never
come back from the Philippines until it
comes back victorious. That may as
well be understood now as at any future
time. Gentlemen may rail about it in
Congress and out, but it is fact that all
by this time ought thoroughly to under
stand"

ETC., are completed and the exhibits all in
place. The grounds and palaces are at
tractive and enchanting. both ty day and
night. No one who sits the ivory CITY
can come away without being deeply i'm
pressed with the wonderful resources OF
our own State, to say nothing of this
great Republic and its outlying depend
encies. Their products and civilization
are fully set forth in the exhibition,
which affords an interesting study and
meditation to the visitor.
Mr.. Pieper says no ono need stay away
from the Exposition son account of the
expense to be incurred, as the best of
accommodations can be had in the city ut
reasonable prices. YOu can get good
bed and lodging from fifty cents to one

of the best people in Charleston. AS to

The Southern Shuttle and Bobbin Co.

The following letter has been addressed
of the Southern Shuttle and Bobbn
Company, to tho patrons of the company
Westminster, S. c., January 1G, 1902
To the cotton mills of the South and
East who have extended their patronage
to the Southern Shuttle and Bobbin Co.
Gentlemen: For nearly four years ]
have managed the affairs of this com.
pany and have done my best to build up
in the South n first class Shuttle and
Spool plant Many difficulties have con,
fronted mo from the beginning. The
pioneer cotton mill men among you car
understand some of them. That the
plant has been a success is attested by
the large and growing patronage it has
received.
81 now come to tell you, that owing to
other undertakings which have a prior
claim on my time, l have this day sold
out my entire interest to Mr. j. Elwood
Cox, of High Point, n. c., and retired
from tho business. Mr. Cox is n gentle,
man of means and splendid business
ability and feel sure will make greater
success of the business than 1 could
hope to have done, besides he is the
largest manufacturer of shuttle blocks
in the world, and consequently will be
able TO supply this plant with the very
best of timber to be obtained. My good
will and warmcst sympathies go to the
plant under its new management.
The business, | understand, will in the
future as il has been in the. past, be ope.
rated on an independent basis.
81 want to ask for it the continued
patronage of all our old customers. To
the Southern mills, especially, would
say that every man and boy at work in
The Southern Shuttle and Bobbin Co.
some of whom remain stockholders, are
South Carolnians, from foreman down
to errand boy. They deserve and will
appreciate your patronage.
"Mr. Cox Informs me he has bought
tho controlling interest III tho Piedmon:
Shuttle Works, of Greensboro, N. c.,
and will move them to Westmins ter.
5. c., herthY largely increasing his
capacity here and will consequently be
in better shape to give prompt service.
with thanks and good wishes, am
yours, truly, w. p. Anderson"

Still Remains a Mystery.

otii ncHidihS d WySteTy.
The finding of a horse, lying dead in
the woods with it's throat cut, on Bushy
Mountain, some ten days ago, remains n
mystery. No one in the neighborhood
recognizes the horse or remembers hav.
ing seen it at any time, and it is almost
unanimously believed that foul play of
some kind was perpetrated in which a
human being, as we'll as the horse, lost
his life. Sheriff Moss went to the scene
and made what investigation was posi-.
ble, bringing out the following facts:
That *. Phillips and Will Wilbanks, ac.
companion 10y DR.. Bennett, were the first
to find the mare, which was black and
apparently about ten years DID, lying in
the woods with throat cut; found place
where knife with J 'ood on it had been
cut into pine tree; found pine tree with
bark torn off as if by reins; found saddle
and blankets covered up in an old stump;
bride was on the mare; mare rough -shod
on all four feet; would weigh about 800
pounds; saddle old style McClcland tree,
with four brass brackets in front and on
each side; left stirrup split off one-half;
ioio worn III lclt SKlrI; lcfC Slde OF glrth
sewed with squirrel skin; girth doubled
and stitched to make shorter; two staples
without rings at rear of saddle; saddle
No. II; six brass brackets on back, three
on each side; lining ripped in front. 1t
is stated that two strangers were seen in
the neighborhood some days prior to the
finding of the horse, and that they are
supposed to have gone towards Tennes-
see. If from the above description of
man and saddle any information can be
given by any one as to the owner it will
be gladly received by Sheriff B. II. Moss,
who will be glad to clear up the mystory.
