Mr. EPPS RESIGNS.
NATIVES TAKE EXCEPTION At
HIS FRANK CRITICISMS.
After Three Years Work Training
the Filipino Idea Mr. Epps is Not
loath TO Come Home.

OSen UOTceu w SINe TO MS WYNN
in the Philippines on accoun! OF
having written letters TO The
State in which he described
characteristics of the Filipinos in
a manner which was Objectionable
to the governor OF the province.
This same Young Carolinian, Mr.
X ID Epps of Williamsburg
county, was the first to give to
the people Of the United States a
published story at the "water
cure" horrors inflicted upon the
Filipino insurgents by the Amer.
lean soldiers. His description OF
these outrages, printed in The
State, attracted no little attention,
and it was not long until the
cumulative reports of this same
kind caused the government 70
make an investigation into what
was called the "atrOcities" per-
petrated by the soldiers Of the
United States army upon the per-
sons Of helpless cAplives in q
spirit of retaliation of cruelties
said to have been inflicted by the
insurgents upon the American
soldiers who had fallen into the
hands Of the enemy.
The Manila Cablenews Of April
10, just received at the Office OF
The State, tell Of the indignation
of Gov. Cables Of Laguna prov
ince, who wrote to Gov Taft
requesting that Mr. Epps be dis
cipfined for the statements he
had made IN The State in regard
to the .Filipinos. The Manila
Times OF April Is tells Of the out
come of this complaint. MIR Epps
was summoned before the general
superintendent of the Philippine
educational department, Mr.
Bryan, who reported after the
interview that Mr. Epps had
resigned. The story in ths
Manila Times is given prominence
over everything else in the paper,
>ho wing how deeply the Filipino
people were interested in the
matter.
Mr. Epps was appointed to the
Philippine work by Hon Jno }
/ McMahan, then State superin-
tendent of education. and went
TO his work in the eastern prov
vinces IN the summer of 1900.
Mr. McSlahan. was given the right
TO suggest the names Of two
teachers from this State TO be as
signed to work under the direc-
ton of the general educational
board of the Philippines. One of
the young men was Mr. B NJ Sui
livan of Anderson and the other
was MIR Eprs. Mr. McMahan felt
a very deep interest in Mr. Epps,
whose father is a. school teacher
in Williamsburg county. Young
Epps had worked ind%ustriously
on the farm rs a boy and had
won a scholarship to the South
Carolina Military academy, where
he took a good stand and gradu-
ated with distinction. For three
years after his graduation he was
engaged in teaching and met with
