Two Frank Confederate Generals.

The present writer once asked a
confederate general, long after the
civil war (but now many years ago),
how he really felt about the failure
of himself and his associates to es-
tablish a separate government. He
said: DO you want me 80 tell you
the truth?" The answer was, of
course: Yes" "Well," said the
honest old veteran, 81 am sorry we
failed; 1 think we should have done
well as separate nation" We
honored him for his frankness, and
afterward told the incident to an
other confederate general, who said:
Did Gen. - say that? Well, he
always was failure!"
We find it difficult to believe that
the stubborn old confederate, were
he living to-day, would still declare
that he was sorry" But if he did
do so, he would be, as the years
went on, still more of an exception.

sion in 1865. They named them Philip
pine after the reigning King Philip III
of Spain.
They are situated in the North tropic
zone, and have on the West the China
sea and On the East the Pacific ocean.
The principal port is Manila, situated
In the island of Luzon. 1t was cap
tured by Dewey, May l, 1898. 1t con-
tains the hospital, and has about 200, GOO
inhabitants, principally Chinese, who
carry on most of the trade and banking.
The total area of the group is thought
to be 1I4O0 square miles. Most of the
islands are billy or mountainous, but
there are valleys and plains of wonderful
fertility.
The climate is very hot and the ma
tives need very little clothing although
the Northern part Of the island of Lu-
zon Is healthful and has very pleasant
climate during the winter months.
The cocoanut, orange, pineapple, ba-
nanas and rice are the principal food of
the natives.
Tobacco ana sugar are the leading
products.
The most useful animal is the tame
buffalo. 1t Is used to draw the rude
ploughs and carts as we'll as to carry
burdens on its back.
The primitive people are called NEG
RIToEs, dwarfsh black race. They
prizzy black hair, thick lips and wide
nostril.
They dwell in the mountains and are
fierce and savage.
OF the seven or eight million inhab-
itants of the islands nearly all are Ma
lays. They are peaceable but brave as
well as honest and courteous.
Large schools have been established
and most of the inhabitants can read
and write.
They now have fine roads, United
States mail system and other improve
ments that the United States have
added.

the ordinary course of work may be
sent in. Teachers may select any num-
ber of compositions and send them to
THE ADVERTISER. The teacher will
always state that the writer is within
the age limit of the contest. The win

To repeat-the compositions for the
first offer must be received not later

MR.. DIAL'S LETTER ,

FELLOW CITIzENS:---
1t is too late to write, but now is the
time to work and subscribe your money
to bring the Columbia Female College
to Laurens.
1t will not do to sit down and say we
can't get it, nor will it do to say that
there is no necessity for each to work
because we are satisfied it will come
here, and because we have committee
to look after this matter. 1 do not
know whether am on the committee
or not, however this is Of no moment
Every citizen, man, woman and child
In Laurens county ought to subscribe
whatever amount they can pay to get
this College.
II you have no girl to educate, your
relatives and friends have, and If you
are not interested in education you are
interested in selling your land and
selling various other things, and in
building up the community in general.
Laurens has merely existed by main
force. as it were. We have lost the fol-
lowing opportunities:
First: The Greenville 81 Columbia
Railway.
We were told not to subscribe to
this, that Laurens was on the natural
this way.
The Piedmont Air Line went above
us.
The Seaboard Air Line crossed below
us.
We lost Winthrop, trusting to nat
ural advantages, and thinking certain
friends would have it located here We
could mention various other lost oppor-
tunitles, but time Is short, and the
foregoing are sufficient to call to our
attention the necessity of acting imme-
diately. This is not only matter for
the town OF Laurens, but for the whole
county as we'll.
We are assured we can get this COL
lege by raising certain amount of
money, and 1t is our sincere hope
that everybody will send their sub
| scription in this week. You can write
to Mr.. Duncan, DIR. Aiken, or any one
else here, and your subscription will
be entered.
This matter will be settled definitely
next week, and il we miss this college
in all probability we will never have an
other in our lifetime. Parents who
have daughters to educate can do so
now at one fourth the cost 1t will take
to send the girls off.
After the matter has been settled
don't say that II you had known your
subscription would have brought it
here, you would have subscribed, but
do so now. Nor don't sit down and
complain about what others are doing
but let each one of us subscribe liber.
