BIG REDUCTION.
Friars' Land to be Acquired for
Sig Millions.

WASHINGTON, NOV. 11.-A dvi c g s
reaching the War Department from
Manila indicate that before he sails for
the United States on December 23d, Cow
ernor Taft will have succeeded in settling
one OF the mo1t vexatious problems con-
nected with the acquisition Of the tnil-
ippines, namely, the adjustment OF the
claims OF the friars for their extensive
property holdings in the islands. The
main obstacle to settlement appears to
have been an issue between the papal
delegate and the religious orders as to
the proportion Of the purchase money to
be paid by the insular government that
was to be turned over to Rome.
The friars naturally desired to receive
the major part OF the allotment. and
" hen they learned that the church insisted
rpon a certain sum they sought to make
good their own proportion by increasing
the sum total OF the price demanded for
the lands. This ran the total up. to about
s14 ,ooaOoo. sum entirely beyond any
figure which the insular government was
willing to consider. Realizing that with
G overnor Tafts departure the chances
Of settlement woulf become more re-
mote. and suffering from the deprivation
OF their lands without compensation
month after month, the church authort-
ties brought pressure to bear upon the
friars. wis.,. the result that the insular
government expects to be able to acquire
their entire holdings In the Philippines
for a sum approxima ting $4,000 oO

day night to effect an organization for
their mutual interest and protection. 1t
is prepared to form Virginia Association.
similar to the North Carolina Tobacco
Growers Association. OF North Carolina.
OF which Colonel John s. Cunningham is
president One Of the aims Of the organ
izatlon would be to encourage farmers to
raise their own food supply first and
thereafter as much Tobacco or cotton as
they desired. and by corporation and or
ganization to insure fair price for the
raw product OF their money crops. 1t Is
sad that such an organization In Ken
lucky among the hurley tobacco growers
has a capital OF ten million dollars, thus
enabling the growers to draw on their
products and sell them when the market
is sufficiently active to insure them a fair
value for their labor.
Among those who are expected to be
present at and address the meeting are
Hon, Eugene Wlthers, OF .Danville; Colo

whereas an article appeared In the News

Southern people
"First-Because the statement that Book
