KILLED BY INCHES
An Atrocious Deed by Ameri-
can Officers. Were
hey Insane?
(By the Associated Press.)

Manila, March ga court martial has
been ordered to try Major Littleton w.
T. Waller and Lieut.. John H. Day, Of
the Marine Corps. on March Il next on
the-charge of executing natives of the IS
land of Samar without trial. Some of the
circumstances in the case are peculiarly
atrocious.
One native was tied to a tree and pub
llcly shot in the thigh. The next day
the man was shot in the arms. The third
day he was shot in the BODY and the
fourth day, the native was killed.
Friends of the two officers attribute
their actions to loss of mind, due to the
~privations which they suffered on the
Island Of Samar.
Major Waller has rendered gallant
service with the United States Marines
in the Philippines and in China. during
the march Of all the forces from the
sea to Pekin. He was appointed to the
Marine Corps from Virginia and was
commissioned second lieutenant June 16,
1880. His first sea duty was on the fri
gate Lancaster in the Mediterranean,
when that vessel was prominent at the
bo~mbardment of Alexandria. The Ian
caster landed a detachment of marines,
including Lieut.. Waller, who won dis
tinction by breaking into a burning store
and removing between $1,000 and 20. 900
rounds Of cartridges at the risk of their
lives. Waller also rescued a score or
more of Greek women from a hospital
which had been set on fire by the Alex
n e.
lieutenant in 1885 and in 1890 he became
captain and was stationed at the Marine
Barracks, Norfolk, from March, 1891 to
March 1895.

sUMATRA TOBACCO FOR N. c.
Commissioner Patterson and DR. Kilgore in
Washington to Interest Sec. Wilson.

Commissioner S. L. Patterson and
State Chemist 3. w. kilgore have been
in Washington for the past two days,
trying to interest Secretary Wilson, OF
the Department Of Agriculture, in the
cultivation of Sumatra and other fine
'tobaccos in North Carolina. The gCv-
eminent has undertaken the experiment
of the cultivation of Sumatra tobacco III
Connecticut, Pennsylvania and otner
States. These experiments have been
emincntly successful The soil surveys
made in North Carolina last year show
tha in the western and eastern sections
the soil is of the character of that on
which experiments We're successfully
made in Connecticut. The department
has four experts in hat State showing
the people how to cultivate Sumatra to-
bacCo. DIR. KilgOre believes it can be
grown equally as successfully in North
Carolina and will begin experimenting
on the test farm. Mr.. Patterson is anX-
iouS to get an expert from the govern
ment to superintend the cultivation, but
it is very doubtful if this can be done
unlecs the bill giving the department an
increased appropriation is passed by
Congress-.

BEN HILLS MAsTERLY SPEECH.
The News and Observers Editorial Worth Its
Weight in Diamonds"

One of the first lawyers in Eastern
North Carolina, in a private letter, has
the following which is quoted here:
Il write to commend you and to thank
you for publishing, at this particular and
appropriate time, that mastery speech
of Senator Hill, in which he SO adroitly
uncovered and then unmaSked Malone,
of Virginia: and especially 10 / wish to
thank you for your able editorial in the
same paper-'A Lesson and a Warning"
Il read Hills speech with more inter
est than when it first came before the
public, because, / oppose Of it's double
application, and it ought to be preserved
as one of the masterpieces of English
prose, not only because of its clearness
and force, but also because of its high
sense of honor, and its lofty ideal in the
sincerity, fidelity and integrity of pub
lie men.
For the same reasons, your editorial
is worth it's weight in diamonds.
"When in our State and rational poll
tics there is SO much bare-faced insin-
cerity, treachery and hypocrisy, 1t is
we'll to hold up before the people the
proper ideals of life"
