Grand Forks, N. D., June 11.-A typ"
lcal hail cloud came out Of the north
west about o'clock yesterday after
noon and passed just east of Larimore
and south of Thompson. Heavy hail
fell along path about half mile wide,
with scattering hail for greater dis
~tance, and a deluge of rain. Some OF
the stones were very large, one measur-
ing eight inches in circumference. Jo-
seph Doyle, a farmer living mile from
Thompson, was caught In the field
while narrowing. While holding the
horses by the heads he was struck by
hailstone and had a cash cut through
his scalp clear to the bone. 1t is too
early for general crops to be affected,
but gardens suffer.

be of general interest. It provides
that whenever the governor and comp
troller general shall extend the time for
the payment Of taxes, the tax delin-
quents shall pay penalty Of one per
cent. for each month, or fraction there
Of, during which their taxes remain
unpaid. This plan, Mr.. Gaines thinks,
would force the large taxpayers to pay
their taxes promptly, while 1t would
not be great burden on the small tax
payers who are generally the ones who
need the extension most. 1t would, he
says, also bring in plenty of money for
the state to pay its January interest
every year without borrowing.

HIGH American officials in Cuba are
Of opinion that the national life Of the
island, as an independent government,
will be Of but short duration. 1t Is
stated that the best element of Cuba is
strongly in favor of annexation to the
United States and it Is predicted that
there will be a strong petition for an
nexation either as state or as ter
ritory, within less than year after
the new government assumes the reins
of power The reasons for this are OBJ
vious. In the first place, Cuba can
hardly exist, commercially, except
upon a basis Of practical free trade
with the United States. and the people
have already begun to realize that fact
Of course the island has prospered un-
der other conditions; but the situa-
ton has changed since then. The great
sugar plantations that were the prin-
cipal sources Of wealth have been
ruined and their owners bankrupt
They cannot be re-established in COM
petition with the world. Then again,
the election Of Thomas Estrada Palma
has sapped the life from much Of the
national enthusiasm. Palma Is a good
and great man, and he contributed his
full share to the establishment Of Gu
ban liberty; but the masses Of people
did not know him as they knew Gomez
and his lieutenants, and they would
not have preferred him as their first
president had it not been for outside
influences. Palma, himself, is general
ly believed to be in favor of annexation
to the United States, and he is backed
by all Of his fellow-countrymen who
are really patriotic. Annexation will
come almost as a certainty unless
there develops too much opposition in
the United States.

ALTHOUGH it is not quite clear that
that the York delegation is altogether
to blame in the matter, some careful
men assert with some show Of feeling
that the incident "only further demon
strates the need Of member In the
legislature from Rock Hill itself.-Rock
Hill Journal.
Although we do not consider that
there is any need for "show Of feel
ing" in the matter, we quite agree
with the gentleman who has suggest
ed that there is need for a representa-
tive in the legislature from Rock Hill.
This feeling is very strong throughout
the whole county, as was evidenced in
the last campaign by the close margin
by which Mr.. ]. J. Hull was defeated.
Had Mr.. Hull been elected he would
certainly have made 1t his business to
look after Rock Hills interest at Win
throp, and it is probable that he would
have succeeded in saving to the city
her quota Of two trustees.

IT would be a source of much satis-
faction to many citizens Of the state,
il the general assembly would succeed
in reaching some practical solution of
the vexing problem that is presented
through trespassing poultry. If the
pending bill on the subject should be-
come a law, it would probably afford
a grain of comfort; but it does not go
far enough. There is no good reason
why chickens should be exempted
from it's provisions, and there is a GER
tain sprinkle Of absurdity in the idea
of requiring an aggrieved farmer or
gardener to catch and impound fowls
that persist in destroying his crops.
And whatever else may be said Of the
subject, it certainly seems that land
owners should have some reasonable
protection against tresspassing poul-
try.

ONE of the greatest needs for the po-
litical and social advancement Of
South Carolina, is a better enforce
ment Of the laws. 1t is fact very
greatly to the discredit of the people
of this state, that our laws are not en-.
forced with anything like the strictness
that is customary in most other states
of the union, and no man who has an
ordinary comprehension of the condi-
tions as they exist in North Carolina
and Georgia, for instance, will try to
deny that we are behind both Of these
states. AS general thing, South Car
DINA jurors will do their duty in giving
verdicts in accordance with the law
and the evidence. There is not great
deal Of reason to grumble at the dispo-
stion Of cases after they get into
court. The principal trouble with us
is our indifference to the manner in
which many of the laws are observed.
If a law is unpopular, there is a gen.
eral inclination to ignore it. Take for
instance, the law against concealed
weapons. This law is universally vio-
lated, and an individual is seldom
prosecuted under it until he attempts
deadly use Of his weapon. A concealed
weapon may be displayed in almost
any gathering Of men without excit-
ing a word Of protest. Ninety men ous
of hundred might witness an illegal
sale of whisky without giving the mat
ter further thought. These are prob
ably trivial matters; but the same vein
of Indifference runs all through the
daily life of all classes of our people,
and almost every community has COM
mon knowledge of facts that would Sc
verely punish certain more or less
prominent citizens, and yet never a
word is said. We would not be under.
stood as intimating that the people OF
South Carolina are inferior in any Ie-

JOSEPH c. Sibley, Of Pennsylvania,
who was formerly a Democrat and who
distinguished himself in 1895, through
the power Of his speeches in favor of
the free coinage Of silver spoke last
week against the reclamation Of the
arid lands Of the west at government
expense. His position on the subject
was rather unusual, and was based
on the alleged unfairness Of govern
ment aid in cheapening the cost Of farm
products. Referring to the fact that
farming was once one Of the most prof
liable occupations known to the New
England and other northern states, he
claimed that the industry dates it's de-
cline from the time that the. govern
ment began to open up millions Of acres
Of fertile western lands to free home
steaders. He said he has Travelled
through the arid section Of country
that was formerly laid down in the
biographies as the Great American
desert" and he has witnessed the Won
derful Transformation that has been
brought about in this section by means
Of irrigation. He gave 1t as his opin-
ion that If an adequate system of irri-
cation were applied to the arid lands
of the southwest, the farm products
would easily become sufficient to. feed
the entire country, and the only pro-
lection to farmers elsewhere would be
such as might be guaranteed on ac-
count Of transportation. He claimed
that he was not opposed to the fullest
development of these arid lands at pri-
vate expense; but he would hardly
welcome such an enterprise at the pres
ent time. Although he fully realized
that the time will come when these
lands must be improved he does not
think they will be needed for at least
so years yet and he thinks that no gov
ernment movement can be made in the
meantime without vast injustice to all
other American farmers.

3lJ President Schurman, Of the Philip
pine commission, made a statement at
Ithaca, New York, last Sunday, ex-
planatory of his recent Boston speech,
in which he advocated the eventual
independence Of the people Of the Phil
ippines. The substance Of the speech
was that If the Christians of Luzon
and Visaya wanted independence and
showed themselves capable Of assum-
ing it, this country would eventually
give it to them. President Schurman
said today that he believed the policy
he advocated would, more than any
thing else, promote the welfare of the
Filipinos. President Roosevelt, he said,
had declared in his message to con-
gress that we were to do for the Fill
ipinos far more than any other nation
had ever done for tropical people,
and that we were to fit them for self
government after the manner of really
free races. He said he stood with
President Roosevelt in his policy, as
against that advocated by General
wheaton, which would mean colonial
servitude like that of Java and India.

THE best way to lick out the Vir-

for every farmer in the state to have
a fertilizer factory Of his own in his
own barnyard. This plan will bring
wealth to individuals and wealth to
the state Those who consider the
goods Of the Virginia Carolina COM
pany too high, will not have to pay
for them. If the state goes into the
commercial fertilizer business, the man
who makes fertilizers in domestic

to keep the state enterprise going.
