is very fair. People are busy planting
or preparing to plant cotton. Never
was ground put in better condition
for a crop, showing as we have before
stated how much interested the farm
ers are. The oat crop, too, where
planted in time, promises well. a
man should never plant the red or
black oat after the lst OF February.
The best oat for late planting is the
Burt. I think it as good a cropper,a as
any, where planted in time.

given her patrons perfect satisfaction,
and is most admirable young lady.

Quite number Of people from this

Many Of our teachers are looking
forward to our summer school, for
the county with the hope, the earnest
hope that we may have the same
instructions we had lastyear. OF the
teachers in the Sumter Graded School
we know little save Mr.. Edmunds and
Mr.. Rambo, men thoroughly qualified
and capable as teachers. We are
puzzled to know how it can retain in
its service so long such a man as Mr..
Edmunds. He ought to be the Presi-.

lasts. We are selfish enough to hope
he may not suffer soon, if that will
rob our county summer school.

.Mr. RawIins of Utah Attacks Gov
ernment's Philippine Policy.
Power TO Make Peace OF Declare War
Without Asking Congress.

Washington, APRIL % Formal dis
cussion Of the bill temporarily to pro-
vide government for the Philippine
islands was begun in the senate today.
Mr. Rawlins Of Utah, the leading
minority member Of the Philippine
committee, opening the debate with
a speech in opposition to the measure.
He denounced the bill as an nnwar-
ranted imposition upon the Filipinos,,
declaring that it would establish one
of the foulest oligarchies in the history
|sof the world. He maintained that
the Philippine commission vas given
too great power by the bill and assert
ed that under its provisions, the ISL
ands would be exploited for private
gain. He will conclude his remarks
tomorrow.
While he was speaking two efforts
we're made to maintain a quorum, the
second resulting in lively tilt among
several senators. Mr.. Scott of West
Virginia intimating that no argument
that could be made upon the subject
would influence any senator.
We seem to have arrived at that
point in our history said Mr.. Raw
Inns, where there are those who affect
to believe that it's sedition to think
and treason to talk. For Gods sake,
let us keep silent until the war is
oyer!' exclaims a peripatetic hero and
graduate from the Philippines who
wants to make free speech treason and
to cart US away to the gallows, al
though he might give the senator from
Massachusetts, the benefit of clergy on
account Of his sympathy for super
heated conscience All, if we are to
believe him, with the approval of the
president of the United States.
Congress no longer has to declare
war. An Otis or Chafee are pre-
pared to attend to this any day in the
week. a few days ago message
came Gus that Malvar, the last of
the insurrectos, had surrendeed. The
next day it was announced that Gen.
Chafee had declared new war and
had dispatched an army to wage it
against two millions OF people in the
island Of Mindanao. But mum is to
be the word so long as there is any
disturbance anywhere within our bor-
ders or in any one Of the more than
thousand islands beyond the seas.
This bill sticks its roots into and
derives its support from that excres-
ence upon the army appropriation bill
of 1901, known as the Spoonner amend
ment. The qualification of the abso-
lutte power therein conferred, adopted
at the instance of the senator from
Massachusetts, by this bill is elilni-
mated.
All property rights in the islands
and. the fate of their inhabitants are
turned over to the control and disposl-
tion of the commission, without any
qualification of importance.

The Moros Villages Flying Red
Flags TO Show They Intend 10
Fight to Uttermost.
Manila, April 22.-Two engagement

Manila, A Ap1ii 22-Two engagements
have been fought between the Ameri-
can troops and the Moros Of the island
of Mindanoa during the last "a hours.
Moore, Of the Twenty seventh infantry,
while out with small party hunting
for water, was fired upon at long range.
Lieut.. Col. Frank d. Baldwin, with
a battalion Of troops and mountain
gnn, went to the assistance Of Moore's
party and drove off the Moros, who
lost seven men. The firing was at
LOO yards range The Moros villages
were flying red flags, meaning that
they intended to fight to the utter
most.
Later, Sultan Puao and force Of
natives attempted to reoccupy the
ground gained by the Americans; but
the Moros were forcibly dispersed.
Datto Ganasi has sent delegation
to the American commander rendering
the absolute submission Of the men
under his control.
Brig. Gen. Davis, In command at
Zamboang, Fan island of Mindanao, has
acknowledged the receipt from Wash
ington of instructions to withdraw his
troops from Mindanao,. but he urges
that, owing to the present state OF
affairs, the withdrawal of the troops
will result in the absolute loss of
American prestige among the Moros
in Mindanao. His orders however are
explicit, Lieut.. Col Baldwin and his
forces are beyond the reach of the tele-
graphic Instructions from Washington.
Washington, April 22.-The war de-
partment has instructed Gen. Chaffee
to delay the departure of the proposed
expedition into Mindanao until after
the receipt of further directions from
Washington. The president desires to
exhaust all other means of efecting
the capture Of the Moros who mur-
dered American soldiers, before dis
patching an armed expedition for that
purpose Meanwhile, however, that
portion of Gen. Davis's command
which was selected for the journey
will still be held in readiness, and all
preparations up to the point OF actual
departure will be made.
Aiken, April 2l.-The condition Of
the SIX thousand lockout operatives
of the Horse Greek Valley is serious
and foreboding. At this time there are
no indications that the mill owners
will abandon their position SO long as
the strike at the King Mills of Augusta
continues The credit=cf many of the
factory hands at Langley, Bath, War

hausted numbers of them are reduced
to the extremity of begging for their
daily food, and many have abandoned
their homes and gone to other States
in search of employment.

the Boston Jubilee convention twenty
different races sent congra tulations.
The first reason is that the association
has been loyal to the church OF Christ,
has stood as the right wing of Gods
army, recognizing the priority Of the
church. In the second place she has
been loyal to Christ. He is the center
of the enterprise. The preaching of
truth and the acceptance Of the same
is the first Importance. Thirdly, it is
loyal to young men, recognizing the
fact that man is first physical being;
that the body is a temple Of the Holy
Spirit.
Man has also mental being to be
developed which is provided for in the
evening educational classes. Then
there is the social side and the spiritual
side of mans nature so closely allied.
We place the spiritual work first and
foremost. We are a Christian organi-
cation and that is the difference be-
tween US and the social club. We stand
for prevention rather than rescue. The
secret Of success of this organization
depends on every man standing in his
place, which is no easy thing for a man
to do to-day.
The prayer of dedication was offered
by Rev. Andrew Burns Chalmers, who
also pronounced the benediction.

This" said Mr.. Willis, should impress
upon all parents the great necessity of
living lives that are, in turn, pattern
ed after the life of Christ. Fathers and
mothers cannot be too careful their
daily experiences to set for their chill

Such an example can only be fully real

those who pattern their lives after the

After the service nearly the entire

chancel rail and shook hands with Mr..

ligious work, followed with brief pre-

new auditorium should be looked upon

obligation which should make all seri-
Gus men tremble. The secretary, he
said, is looked to to direct the work
but he can't do all the work There
must be volunteer workers from the
various churches. Those churches were
most benefited by the association
which sent the most workers. The idea
that the association was simply for
Christian men was not true. Over go
per cent of the members were not
church members.
The last speaker was Rev. William
H. Salmon, N A., of Bridgeport, for
merly general secretary of the Yale Y.
NJ. C. A, who spoke on THE Religious
Opportunity of the Young Mems Chris
tian Association" He sketched briefly
the three periods in the history of the
great organization. Between 1874 and
1851 was the early period which was
characterized by lack of definite rela-
tons to the community and churches.
The formative period was from 1856 to
1880, when the movement became more
definite and the idea of a work by
young men for young men was evolved
During these years was begun work
among colored men, Germans, college
men, railroad men, Indians and in the
army and navy.

John F. Fitzgerald, who says he
comes from Fitchburg, Mass, was ar
rested yesterday afternoon by Detective
Daley on the charge of burglary. The
detective saw him at Fair at Union
streets with bundle as big as clothes
basket under his arm. He was taken
to police headquarters, where he gave
up about thirty pounds of lead pipe,
which he stole from the buckingham,
Routh company of Court street.
The detective later in the day found
that a theft had been committed in
that place early in the morning and
Fitzgerald finally owned up to the theft.
When Daley went to the Buckingham,
Routh company last evening he found
about fifty pounds of lead ready for
Transportation.
James Doty, a boy seventeen years
old, was also arrested by the detective
as being implicated in the theft.

The dedication of the Foy auditorium
of the Young Mems Christian associa-

appropriate exercises. Dean Sanders,
vice president of the association, pre-
sided and introduced the various speak
ers. Music was furnished by the New
Haven Orchestral club of the Y. Fl. c.
A. William E. Haesche, leader. Clar-
ence B. Willis, formerly general secre-
tary of the New Haven ass pciation,
conducted the service of song and at
the close of the general exercises met
many of his old friends and co-laborers.
The Rev. Artemus J. Haynes read
the Scripture lesson and offered prayer
and Rev. George Foster Prentiss, pas
tor of the Davenport Congregational
church, of which James H. Foy was a
member, gave some "reminiscences of
Mr.. Foy, whose munificent gift made
possible the beautiful auditorium bear
ing his name.

der It. Irvines address. who congratu-
lated the association upon it's success IN
securing its grand building. 1.-The au-
ditorium," he said, might be regarded
as the Foy endowment and what is
needed nowiis a band of young men to
rally around the general secretary with
Lotze enduement. Unless the secretary
has the backing of the board of dlrec-

will be a failure" He closed with the

Rev. Frank Woods Baker, D. D., rec

said, why as a Christian he took pleas
