Charlotte Hall In It's Nsw Garb.

This cid seat of learning now pre-
sents itself modernized 20 the visi-
tor and pupil. AS you approach
the grounds the eye is attracted by
q neatly constructed water tower OF
tubular steel, 40feet high, surmouut-
ed by 1000 gallon circular tank of
ornate design, situated on mound
on the campus in front Of the school
honse. In this tank water is stored
from two hydraulic rams situated
down in the bottom and operated by
the springs which for so long have
made Charlotte Hall famous.
Water is led to all the buildings
whilst new plumbing installations,
consisting Of wash basins, tubs and
sinks and hot and cold water attach
ments are made i'm same.
The Stewards House, in these
conveniences for the pupils is now
in line with such buildings of mod
ern educational institutions, and is
most attractive in its new treatment
Of paint. General carpentering re-
pairs have been made in the various
buildings all tending TO bring same
up to q high standard.
Two isolated steam plants have
been put in the School House and
Stewards House with bronzed ra-
diators. This innovation, affording
warmth during the winter period,
will be fully appreciated.

Compliments Mr.. PujO.

In an editorial in yesterdays 8
Luke Chlrles American that
journal says in part: "Mr. PuJo
may well feel proud of his vote in
the seventh district; but he no
doubt feels proudest of the loyal
and untaltering support he has
received at home. He has had
the good wishes of all the parish.
It. is rarely that any man can
command such a large degree of
confidence as was expressed by
the parish vote; and no doubt
that expression will sustain and
sooth the new congress man when
he enters upon the task Of salts
fying the demands Of the most
progress district in the most
rapidly growing state IN the
south "a task which will not lie
holiday job. Beyond doubt
Mr.. PuJo will come as near ac-
com mplishing it as any man could,
and he will find his own people
behind him ready to aid IN the
work whenever they can"

THE SITUATION

Leading English Journal
Speaks on Money
Stringency

London, Sept. 27,--The Statist
today discussesI at length the
much mooted question of the
monetary conditions in the United
States and suggests as a remed y
for the money stringency that
the American law requiring
banks in certain cities to keep a
reserve equal to 25 per cent of
their deposits to be amended SO
as to permit the use of that re-
serve on conditions that the
banks pay ltax to the govern
ment of 5 per cent.
The Statist argues that such a
provision would reassure the
public and probably put stop to
extreme pressure. The paper
refers to Germany as an example
of the success of a similar propo-
sition. In that country the i'm
perial bank is permitted to issue
notes bayond the amount other
wise authorized as long as it pays
a duty of per cent. on the ex-
cess.

TAFT is OPTIMISTIC
PHILIPPINE SITUATION HOPEFUL,
Recommendation of People-Says
Mercy Is Shown.

Chicago, Jan. Ex-Governor Taft of
the Philippines was interviewed here
to-day. He said:
THE only answer / have to make to
the ideas of individual observers who
declare that the true condition in the
Philippines is being concealed. or that
we are husging delusons of peace that
can never be brought about. is that
the government is concealing nothing
and that my conclusions are not based
on wild theories, but substantial
facts"
This was the reply that Governor
Taft made to statement published by
Stephen Bonsal. declaring that desper-
ate opposition was still being encoun-
tered in the field and that the natives
are irreconcilable and are better organ
lied than before the capture of Agui-
naldo.
Governor Taft said that although
there was a time when for military rea-
sons 1t had not been advisable to
make public everything occurring in
the Philippines, the necessity for such
secrecy is over, and that no effort Is
now being made to conceal any part
of the truth from the people of this
country,
"As a matter of fact" he added, "the
eIllDeTS OIL ulSlTust are DtIHS htpt
alive by sensationalists who seize upon
every petty point and seek 10 twist it
into some horrible barbarity of our
government in the islands. Take, for
instance, the talk about concentration
camps. Although / am not sufficiently
well acquainted with the full military
plans to speak with absolute authori-
ty, I can say that the whole subject is
much misunderstood by our people.
"As n matter of fact. there has never
been any thought of establishing con-
centration camps in the ordinary ac-
ceptance of the term. All that has been
proposed is an insurgent Gordon, the
establishment of dead line, into
which will gradually be drawn all the
remnants of insurrection that exists,
"rhe non-combatants on the island
have never, even at the hardest period
of the war, received anything but the
utmost kindness and consideration at
our hands, and it is hardly probable
that this policy will be reversed now
that the opposition is fast drawing to
close"
The governor believes that the only
existing opposition TO the authority of
the United States is being fomented by
men who form the Hong Kong junta.
