WATER CURE INVESTIGATION.

At last an "atrocity" seems to
have been dug up that has some
thing more to it than the dreams
of letter writing soldier or the
fantasy of an anti-imperialist II
appears to be fairly we'll establish
ed by the testimony of reputable
members of Company M of the
Twenty-sixt volunteer infantry
that on November 81, 1900, at the
convent of Igbaras, the presidente
OF that town was given the water
cure" for the purpose of forcing
him to give information in regard
to the insurgents in that vicinity
The water cure" of which the
details have been described with
sufficient frequency in the daily
papers, is painful, barbarous,
but not fatal nor permanently in
furious process. 1t is compare
lively mild form of torture, but it
is nevertheless wholly inconsistent
with American military discipline
and abhorent to American senti-
ment
Any officer or private who shall
be proven guilty of such an offense
ought to be promptly and severely
punished and we have no doubt
that he will be.
There is no sense, however, in
exaggerating the Importance of
this event or of making it a basis
for general condemnation of the
American army and its methods.
There never was war in which
some breaches of discipline and
acts of cruelty did not take place,
and the war in the Philippines has
been wonderfully free from them,
when the worst is said
Under circumstances of peculiar
difficulty, and against an enemy
whose barbarity and treachery
tried the patience of the Ameri-
cans most severely, they nobly
maintained the best traditions of
American service except in few
isolated instances.
Only the yellow journal and the
bitter partisan will allow the ex-
ceptional outrage to assume a
greater importance than the ordin-
AIRY record of courage, humanity
and forbearance that has charac.
terized the American army in the
Philippines = Colorado Springs
Gazette.

ANONYMOUS notices are begin
ming to dribble into the county
newspaper offices stating that "the
Hon. John Smith, our esteemed
townsman, possesses to superla-
tive degree all the lofty oharac-
teristics of mind and the unhinch-
ing rectitude that should enter
into the makeup of one entrusted
with the sacred duty of introduce
ing and smothering railroad and
sleeping car bills in our state as
sem bly,, and we hope his friends
may prevail upon him to allow his
name to be used" etc. Generally,
however, John Smith forgets to
enclose any cash as an evidence of
good faith, and his effusion goes
to keep company with the spring
poems in the waste basket.-Lamar

WITH the new proposed road
from Florence to Portland it will
be great advantage to the city.
1t is understood as soon as the
commissioner secure the consent
of MIR. Gumaer and Mr.. McCand-
less to run the road through their
property, the work of construction
will be commenced. These gen
tlemen are usually willing to con-
tribute their share toward public
improvement, and in this instance
il is believed that they will again
show their public spirit. No time
should be lost in putting the road
in. 1t will not only benefit Flor
ence but others as well.

Greensboro, n. G. Oct. 27.-Much
qualification is felt and expressed here
over the conduct of registration in this
city and county. Not a single complaint
has been heard from any source as to
unfairness on the part of any registrar.
When this correspondent went to regis
ter he had to wait for negro to com
pIete his registration and was much in
terested at the proceeding from the fact
that the applicant, Warren Jeffries,
aged 50, registered under the same
clause that he did. the grandfather.
Jeffres is of an old Rockingham family
of free negroes. Eleven other colored
men registered here under the grand
father clause. one of them basing his
claim to coming in under the grand
father clause, from the fact that his
mother wos a white woman. While
Greensboro is a great center for edu-
Gated negroes, not nearly all of this
class applied for registration even. The

College all registered and a few of the

New York, Oct 27.-Trading in cotton
today was again of the see saw order. the
good growing weather at the South about
off-setting the very light movement of
the crop. The estimates of tomorrow $
receipts are exceedingly light as com
pared to last year and it looks as if the
movement this week would lose 100, coo
bales or more. The near months continue
to display remarkable strength as COM
pared to spot cotton at the South. which
is due to the position of January con
tracts here and to The small stock of
ccrtificated cotton. This continued
strength in the near positions prevents
aggressive selling in the latter, options
especially in view of the heavy discounts
on March and May.
Any active speculation at this time
would cause good advance, but it seems
that at the moment the good growing
weather holds buyers in check. but on
every slight decline there are large limi-
ted orders which prevent a permanent
reaction. We think around S.35 for March
and May purchases should be made with
a view of realizing moderate profits.

Cotton Letter
Especial to News and Observer

New York, Oct. 27.--All things consid-
cred the market today was a weak one.
There were rains and frosts predicted in
some sections. there was an advance in
Liverpool and light receipts and yet the
prices were lower than on Friday and Sat
urday most of the time An early squirt
was followed by general selling and the
traders stood around waiting for some
one to put the market up. But NJ one
seems able to put it up at the moment.
1t may be of course that the January
people don't care to do it, but again it
may be that weather is too good for an
advance. The feeling is that if light re-
ceipts don't put prices up, how can the
market advance when the movement be-
comes heavier. 1t will be remembered
the movement last year was $4,000 bales.
We may fall behind 1000 or even 100,-
600 bales On this showing the market
should advance. During the next few
weeks the movement will compare with a
sharp falling off last year and this leads
many to fear a break in prices The
average reports coming from the South
show Improvement. Planters are busy
picking cotton and as spinners are not
active buyers both factors operate
against heavy receipts. Later the move
mcnt is likely to show up better and have
an influence on the market, Some of
the best traders in this city are out of
cotton for the present. We regard this
as a very sane thing to do. Cotton is
not attractive and unless bought at a
sharp decline and sold on the advance
there should be no bear market. until
the movement increases. But on the
other hand we do not see much advance
in sight at the moment. We can't advise
buying but would scalp the market for
a while
