leaving Rogers in the flats afoot.
About 5 O'Clock or little after

them a few minutes and, finding
nothing of them, asked a party
whom he met if he had seen any.

ed they had left for home an
hour and a half before, Rogers
went to the house of Mr.. Robin
son and hired one of the boys to
bring him home In his buggy,
reaching home about 10 o'clock.
When Mr.. McEuen came home

uneasy and a searching party
was organized, consisting of Bar

SATOLu ON PHILIPPINES.
What the Cardinal Conceives to be
American Duty.

An Associated Press dispatch
from Rome upon the return of
Cardinal Satolli from his visit to
the United States says he was
charmed by his visit and quotes
the Cardinal as follows:
"While 1 feel for America a
degree of affection and gratitude
which will accompany me
throughout my life. I must say
that today the United States has
delicate and grave task to per-
form before the civilized world,
namely, to educate the Filipinos
to new social and political life,
rendering them more advanced
in economic prosperity, which
may grow very fast considering
the immense variety and rich
ness of their products, while
watching that their civilization
has religion as an Interchangeable
base.
Gin this way in a few years
the Philippines may form a
strong and prosperous nation, in
spired by justice, liberty, and
morality, and become a worthy
daughter of the great American
Commonwealth, which will thus
prove that in setting foot in the
Philippines it did not intend
conquest, but to undertake a
high, civilising duty"

ARRANGEMENTS
All Made for Confederate Vets
Reunion at Darlington
Sept. Fl and II.
PROMINENT SPEAKERS TO BE HERE.

Plans for the Reunion of the
Second Kentucky Brigade, Unit.
ed Confederate Veterans, are
being rapidly perfected in detail
by the various committees that
have been at work to that end,
and the meeting promises to be
of exceptional interest. Replies
from the various posts to the
Queries sent out by Major Tin
der indicate that the number of
visiting veterans will probably
reach 300, with perhaps 200 Wis
itors. The darlington commit
tee on entertainment says homes
can easily be supplied here for
$50 veterans. This statement is
made after canvas of the town.
1t will be expected that the Vet
Grams will take their meals to-
gether in Lakeside Park, but
none will be courtmartialed if
they imbibe a cup of hot coffee
with their hostess before taking
their morning stroll to the out
door headquarters at the Park.
A reception committee con-
sisting of Henry G. Jones, Earl
ington, chairman, and several
other members yet to be named,
Will meet all trains and escort
the veterans, as they arrive, to
headquarters of the Commander,
Gen. j. B. Briggs, which will DO
established in a tent stretched
for that purpose on Main street a
half block east of the railroad
station. They will register here,
get badges and be assigned sleep
ing quarters in the hospitable
homes of darlington.
The speakers, secured through
correspondence conducted by the
Hon. Polk Laffoon, include some
of the most noted orators in Ken
lucky, who will address the Vet
Grams on subjects most interest
ing to them on this occasion. 1t
is announced that the speaking
will not be of political character.
Those who have agreed to speak
so far are: Major General Ben
nett II. Young, Gen. Basil Duke,
Hon. JAS. b. McCreary, Hon. 10
Blackburn; Hon. w. j. Stone,
Kuttawa; Hon. Jno. P. Lockett,
Henderson; Hon. Henry George,
Wingo. Col. w. @. p. B-eekin-
ridge has been asked TO come,
but no reply has yet been had
from him.
The committee on badges, Jas.
b. Head, Darlington; d. A. Bon.
durant, jacksonville; Robert
Hart, st. Charles; will decorate
Veterans and visitors with APP
propriate ribbons upon arrival at
Headquarters. Y. Q. Walker
Will have charge of the register.
Material has been ordered with
which to string an electric line
to Lakeside Park if 1t is found
desirable to illuminate the
grounds at night, and this will
be done by the st. Bernard Min
ing Co., if the local committee
wish to use the Park at night.
However, it is possible that the
arrangements of the Daughters
of the Confederacy for an enter
tainment, or the plans for the
speaking, may turn the tide to
the town instead of the Park for
the evenings. The committees
will have a final meeting tomor-
row at which all unfinished de-
tails will be decided upon.
The reports Of the solicitation
committees are due today and
their work can only be stated in
general terms. Enough is known,
however, to say that they have
done excellent work and to leave
no fear that there will not be an
abundance of good, substantial
rations for the old soldiers.

"Of course | understand that about
half of those written by women have

 Fantastic capes and wraps that have had so brilliant a success are somewhat on the eccentric order this year and cannot be said to be made with any particular reference to the people who are to wear them.
