NO INDEPENDENCE IN SIGHT FOR FlLlPiNOS.

That the powers that be now in the
sontrol of this Government do not pro-
pose to do anything for the Filipinos-
that their intent is to keep them in vir-
tual su~bjection-was well demonstrated
by the proceedings on Tuesday last in the
Insular Committee of the House. On that
day, the Democratic member had pre-
scented a substitute for the Civil Govern
nent bill for the Philippine Stands. 1t
proposed eventual independence to the
Philippines, the islands to remain under
the Philippine Commission until July A.,
1913, then eight years of qualified indie
pendence, the insurrection meanwhile to
cease, the United States to have three
ooaling stations and two naval stations.
That SENS to be a very fair proposition.
AT least there is in it the germ of a very
fair proposition if we ever intend to do
what is right and honorable to the Fill
pinos, and what every principle of justice
should prompt US to 40. Ii the Republi-
cans in the House had in them the old
Republican love of liberty that actuate
such Republicans as George f. Edmunds,
George F. Hoar and George S. Boutwell,,
they would nave accepted the principle Of
ultimate independence for the Filipinos,
- Vant+ar hoxr fa, off tbax cot the Aata
But they voted it down by a strict party
vote, and voted to %favorably report a
measure which provides for the perpet-
aal retention of the Philippines.
Then Representative Patterson offered
an amendment to the majority report
providing for the abolition of slavery
throughout the Philippines and for the
annulment of the treaty made between
General Bates and the Sultan of Jolo.
Chairman Cooper called attention to the
clause in the majority bill thai neither
slavery nor involuntary servitude shall
sxist in the islands. Patterson main
tanned that this restriction would not be
effeceive SO long as the Bates treaty re-
Aained in force, but his amendment was
rejected.
And SO the matter stands thus. The
sew Philippine measure declares that
neither slavery nor Involuntary servi-
-Nde shall exist in the islands," but the
TACT of the matter is tha it does and
nat ii will so long as the Bates treaty
~mains in force-a treaty which per-
slts and sanctiies it.
SO that the Government is in the DO
sition of saying that the crime of traffic
n human flesh shall not exinst in the
islands, while at the same time permit
ang it to exist, and the Republican mem
-eers refuse 10 take measures to stop it.

Rublicans would bring tn deep blush of

a Remarkable Dog.

While in town the other day Mr..
y. ". Jefcoat related the following
story which may seem strange, but
is nevertheless 7ouched for: MIR. W.
E. Bars is the owner of a fine dog
said to be a setter. This dog takes
his COWS to pasture every morning
and drives them home in the evening.
He will drive a herd of cattle with
as much ease and care as he will
cow and if one of the bunch leaves
the herd the dog will head it off and
drive it back. He never leaves his
charge for dinner. MIR. Barrs says,
he will have hispicture taken and that
of the other dogs sometime when he
comes home in the afternoon in time
to do 30.

Rural Delivery Bill Passed.

Washington, March 10-The bill
to classify the rural free delivery
service and place the carriers under
the contract system, which has been
debated in the house for over week,
was passed today but in a form that
completely changed the purpose for
which it was framed. Before it was
passed the bill was altered radically
by its opponents. All the provisions
relating to the placing of carriers un-
der the contract system were stricken
out and the salary system was not
only continued, but the maximum
salary of carriers was increased from
$500 to $500 per annum. The
amendment to fix the salaries of
rural carriers at $500 was offered by
Mr.. Swanson of Virginia and adopted
without division.
An amendment offered by Mr..
Fleming Of Georgia, was adopted to
allow carriers to do any express pack
age business where it does not inter-
fere with their duties.
A motion offered by Mr.. Williams,
Democrat of Illinois, to recommit the
bill with instructions to report back
an amendment providing for the dis
missal from the service of carriers
who should use their influence in
favor of any particular party or for
any particular candidate, was voted
down, 96 to 141.

Do Not Be Afraid

To look the facts squarely in the
face. That cough, racking and per-
sistent, accompanied by tightness il
the chest and splitting OF sticky
mucus, is a sign of consumption.
Common sense dictates the use of
Aliens Lung Balsam, an honest
remedy, since it contains no opium;
an efficient remedy, since it heals the
irritated, infamed throat and lungs,
and so prevents deep-seated cold
from running into incurable forms

Obituary.

ELLA EsTELLE, daughter of J. Weir
and C. E Addy, was born January 25,
1883, and departed this trapsitory
life March s, 1902, making her short
stay on earth l9 years, l month, 13
days.
She was dedicated to God by the
right of holy baptism June "a, 1888,
and was made a communion member
of Zion E L. church by confirmation
April IS, 1897. She was true and
faithful to the vows there taker; and
we believe she has gone TO the
Church above, there to chant songs
of praise with the happy tbrong that
stand around the great white throne
of Him that doeth all things well.
She leaves father, mother, 3 brothers,
1 sisters, and a host of friends to
mourn her early departure.
Her remains were laid to rest in
the cemetery of St. David's E. L.
church in the presence of vast host
of sorrowing friends. The funeral
service was conducted by her pastor,

Congressman Levers Luck.


Representative Lever need have no
regret that he is not as old or as
large as he might be. For as the
"Baby of the House" his first three
months in Congress have brought
him an acquaintance that many mem
bers of long service have not &C.
quired. Indeed Mr.. Lever has taken
rank with those celebrities whom the
Capitol guides point out to the visi-
tors focking here from all over the
country. Representative Landell was
recently acting as guide for several
young ladies, and, on coming to the
House gallery, in due time he pointed
out the "Baby of the House" to them
Whereupon the young ladies, daugh-
ters of we'll known Southern Sena-
tor, expressed desire to meet the
young South Carolinian. MIR. Lardell
went in search of him and presently
returned with Mr.. Lever in tow. As
it was about lunch time Mr.. Landell
asked his guests to lunch with him
in the House restaurant and, turning
to Mr.. Lever, be said: "And we shall
be glad to have you come down and
take your Meilin's Food with us-or
perhaps you prefer condensed milk y
Mr.. Lever was soon demonstrating to
the party that his appetite was not as
small as his years were few.

and she took him at his command
and went to him for rest and found
it. If we will be faithful and remain
80 to the end. sooner or later, we will
meet her around that great white
throne in heaven, where We will
never part again. Our loss is her
eternal gain.

With all engaging charms,
See how he called his tender lamb;
And fold her in his arms.

Writings from lorena.

The health of the community is
broken by the grippe.
We have some nice days now and
the farmers are ell in stir.
There was car load of guano un-
loaded at Summit yesterday. Several
of the farmers in this section had
hand in it.
Mr.. J. R. ". Sease is confined to
his bed at this writing.
Mrs. D. P. Sease has been sick,
but we are glad to say she is able to
do her work again.
Miss Lille Sease is visiting at and
near Lewiedale this week.
Mr.. j. A. Bsllentine visited at
Lorena last Sunday. Come again
when you can make it convenient to
do so.
Mr. Cephus Sease makes trip
every week to the railroad in order to
keep up his store.
We are glad to learn that the sick
family Of Mr.. D. C. Harman is i'm.
proving.
The mumps and chicken pox are
raging around here.
Mr.. J. c. Price is repairing an old
house at Summit now for the Hartley
Bros.
Mr.. 7. P. Drafts is pailing in his
yard. I guess that will keep the
bird dog inside and the mad dog out
side now.
Mr. II. W. Koon is plowing at his
sand hill place.
Spring begins on the 2lst inst.
I guess the weather will finally mod
crate by that time.
Log rollings are not so numerous
this year as they were last year.
The roads are all being worked in
this section. That's sign of good
roads when they get dry.
Rev. Anderson, of Lees7ille, had s
narrow escape not long since. A
tree fell right by the side Of his
buggy.
Cuttings are starting up in this
section.
Cotton has advanced to S.. That
makes the farmer pull off his cap
and put on his straw hat when the
sun shines.
Several school entertainments will
take place in this section soon; which
will be enjoyable for young and old.
The chain gang has been doing
some work near Sa7illa.
I wish to make notice to the readers
of the widely circulated Dispatch
of the sudden death of Miss Lille
Craps, the daughter of Mr.. George
Craps, who died suddenly at her
home last Sunday night near Sum-
NIT and was buried on Tuesday at
Cedar Grove in the presence of
large congregation of sorrowing rela
tives and friends. She was living
in the latter part of her 17th year.
A vacant chair is left in the family
and vacant seat is made in the
church by her death. The death
angel called for her as thief in the
night, but found her prepared to
meet her God in peace. She is but
rose bud taken from this earth and |
carried to heaven to bloom, where it
will never wither, nor lack for |
anything. She was loved by every
body that knew her and especially by
her dear father and mother, but |
now she sits by the pearly gates
watching and waiting to welcome
father and mother there. She will |
always be ready to welcome her
loved ones in heaven. We cannot
understand why such lovely bios
som is taken from earth, but God !
understands. Christ said "come
unto me all ye that labor and are
heavy laden and will give you rest"
