home enterprises and give them our best
support and remember that when you
spend a dollar with them that dollar
goes towards the support and education
OF your own citizens and passes through
many hands, part of which you are like
ly to get back. However, it seems to, be
part of our nature to expect our home
enterprise to sell US better goods an
lower prices than the same goods manu-
featured in other places. n
The various enterprises that we now
have in our city have met with success
in disposing of their products not alone
In this State and the States adjoining, bun
as far east as North Carolina and West
into Texas and Indian Territory. yet
some of our manufacturers tell us that
they are doing but little business at their
own home.
I'VE are continually advising our farm
ers not to raise SO much cotton, but to
raise the necessities of life. but We in
the city should practice what we preach,
while our farmers send their money to
the West too many in the city send it
to the East. 1 am not advocating this
measure. because 1t may benefit my line
of business. but to the contrary l will
tell you frankly that business property
here Is high enough and so are rents and
to strengthen this argument. 1 will make
a startling statement to you. There has
not been transfer of business property
here since last May. not because there
are no prospective buyers, as all real ,es-
tate agents will tell you that they have
property but you can't get 1t even IL
you offer fancy prices. I will make an
other statement in this line which has no
parallel In any other city the size of this.
end that Is, you can count on the fingers
Of your two hands the number of mort
cages on business property here and most
of those are given because of the low rate
of interest they are drawing and the
money can be used to a better advantage
in their regular course of business.
I'm words of one of our greatest states
men, 1t is a condition aud not a theory
that confronts U.S. The time has come
when we must patronize enterprises here
and buy everything we possibly can at
home, otherwise you will not be true to
your own interests. When we do this,
and not till then, will we have perpet-
ual prosperity. Let us be united in work.

we will see the good results Of our Ia
bors. Montgomery will then have modern

STATEMENT OF HUGHES.
The General Appears Before Senate
Philippines Committee.

Washington, Feb. 25.-The Senate Com
mittee on the Philippines resumed its
sittings today with Robert H. Hughes as
a witness. General Hughes went to the
islands in August, 1898, and has been
there ever since, until within the past
few weeks.
He said that soon after his arrival he
had been appointed provost marshal gen.
eral of Manila. At that time the insur-
rection forces were quartered in the city
and there was free communication be-
tween them and the Americans. When
later Aguinaldo was directed to move out
he objected strenuously but went. At
first, the witness said, the people of the
city were quite friendly. but by the first
of January, 1899, there was change in
their bearing, This change he attributes
to AguinaldO's influence and advice.
General Hughes described the condition
of affairs in Manila which led to the
outbreak of February L. 1899.
The committee adjourned until 1920 to-
morrow.

Taft Before House Committee.

Washington, Feb. Ex-Governor Taft
continued his statement before the House
Insular Committee today dwelling on the
good and bad characteristics of the Fill
pinos. He denied reports that they were
cowardly and related an instance in
which Filipino scout along with United
States troops saved the day. AS to their
treachery he said this was due largely to
their being between two fires, the hos
tile native sentiment on one hand and the
American sentiment on the other. On
the whole he did not regard them as suf-
fciently advanced at present for self
government.

SuperstitiOns concerning the opal
have evidently died q natural death, If
one may judge from the many that
are shown. The demand for this lovely
stone is steady. and though the Hun
garian opalE are the finest, many OF
lesser value are used as settings for
brooches, rings, hatpins and stiekPins
and are much sought.
It is particularly noticeable in the
china shops that the old-fashioned
white china with gilt is becoming pop
ular. These sets are almos< duplicates
of the old-fashiOned "tea sets" Of our
grandmOthers' early days, and come in
the old-fashioned shapes, made of fine

costly. and therefore the woman who
