HOLD TO BARBARIc UsAcEs
Singular Decorations Of Figures In
Churches and Cemeteries In
the Philippines.

Zone of the great curiosities to Amer
leans who first visit the Philippines.
said an army ofncsr. reports the WASH
ington Star. who has just returned after
Z three-years' detail in the archipelago.
sis the method Of decoration used in the
churches and cemeteries, especially in
the matter Of the statues OF Christ and
the virgin. Almost all the statues OF the
Saviour in countries whose population
Is dark-skinned are of an Ethiopian hue,
and bear the facial characteristics OF the
natives 1t would never do to depict
Filipino Christ as a white man, for the
reason that the natives would not under
stand or respect it as highly as they
would a Divine leader of their own race.
And it follows that the mother Of Christ
must also be black, or at least OF a dark
hue
But one Of the funniest things that
ever caught my eye was statue In
cemetery in Luzon. There was glass
case as high as man and perhaps four
feet square placed in prominent part
of the city Of the dead that caught and
held the eye. Upon closer inspection
the case was seen to contain statue OF
a woman She was gowned in the most
elaborate fashion known to the Filipino
dressmaker, and modern hat OF the
Gainsboro type was set jauntily over
her ear, the broad brim falling away in
a dashing style from her left eye. The
hat was the most attractive feature OF
the whole thing, being really stylish
creation, copied, without a doubt, from
some fashion book of New York styles.
At the foot of this wonderful statue
were representations of many OF the
animals of the Philippine forest all COM
Ing up to worship it, and as curiosity
it had no competitor in the entire island.
But the officers and soldiers Of the army
who were in the neighborhood, and who
went to see it, were at loss to under
stand its meaning until padre came to
the rescue. He explained that 1t was
q statue of the Virgin Mary, and the con-
sternation of the Catholic soldiers may
be imagined when they looked upon
what they thought to be dissertation
of sacred subject.
1.-THE padre, however, soon quelled
their anger by explaining to them that
the Filipino wanted as much decoration
for his religious subjects as he could get,
and that he would not appreciate statue
Of the virgin clad in the garments that
are familiar to us as the raiment Of
purity. He demanded more than SIM
pie garment wound about the form, and
the priests had to respond to the demand
in order to have their teachings COM
mand respect. The customary garb OF
the virgin is too much like that worn by
the natives to appeal to them, and they
would not readily admit the superiority
of a being whose dress was not more
elaborate than their own. So it is as
much a custom of the country to dress
the virgin in fine raiment as 1t is to paint
the face and body of the Christ to CORE
spond with the hue which is familiar to
the natives, and have heard of several
other cases where statues of the virgin
are finished in the very latest creations
of the modiste's and milliner's art"

Another evidence Of independ'
ence has recently been exhibited.
In the city of Darlington a pri'
mary election was held for mum
cipal officers, and a large num-
Der of citizens did not favor a
primary and therefore withheld
their participation in it, but
when the time arrived for the
formal election those refusing tc
participate in the primary put
up a ticket in opposition to the
primary nomination and won.
We mention this incident merely
to show the tendency to repudi'
ate our primary system, not be,
cause there is SO much opposi.
ton to the primary. but it is tc
the manner in which it is con.
Quoted, the disposition to throttle
free speech, and the fraud and
corruption which has entered
into it. In our opinion, unless
there is a change in the rules and
the party machinery, the primary
system in South Carolina is
doomed. Politicians are in con.
troll of the machinery and it must
be taken from them if we would
prevent just such schisms as
witnessed in Greenville county
and the city of Darlington.

We are proud to state that since
we have known the town of Sum
merton we have never seen as many
people here as were here last Satur-
day and as little booze" on hand.
Every store did all they could do
with the force they had.
On last Thursday night about s
o'clock the alarm Of fire was sounded
and it was soon seen that the house
belonging to Mrs E. a. Tindal on
the edge of town was on fire. All
the stores closed and in few min
utes a large crowd of people were
taking the furniture Of Mr.. Gilmore,
who was living in the house, out.
Everything was saved that was in
the kitchen, but there was consider
able damage done to the furniture
moving it out of the house. This
was total loss, as there was no in
surance on the building or furniture.
On last Wednesday about o'clock
in the afternoon Il negro named
Richard Smith, filed with fuss N
got double-barreled breech-loader,
put shells in each barrel and made
for the depot, where large crowd
of people, both colored and white,
was waiting for the train. He was
cursing and swore he was going to
kill some one whom he said had stole
some whiskey from him. When he
reached the top step of the depot
platform Warden H \. Tisdale
caught hold of the gun and asked
that he give it up, whereupon he
showed fight. Mr.. Tisdale hit him
in the face and other negroes came
up and took the srn and attempted
to carry it away, out the venerable
A. J. Richbourg arrived on the
ground and arrested Smith. Inc
council met at once and fined Smith
twenty dollars, which was paid at
once. Judge Richbourg then hand
cuffed him and informed him that ne
would have to 80 to jail or give bond
for appearance in the next court for
assault with intent to kill. He sue
ceeded in giving bond about s o'clock
that night.

POINTED ARROWS.

Drink is the highway tc
degradation.
Drink spares none and makes
no nice determinations. The rich
and poor, learned, unlearned,
simple, priest, prophet, Judge,
1uler, all are its victims. With
some the issue is swlfter: with
others slower, but all it is the
same-mental, moral, physical
Indifference and enduration, and
the end death.
Total abstinence is the one
sure safeguard against drunken
ness. There is no legitimate
delight sacrificed, and there is
illimitable good assured. There
is better health of body and
mind: there is a better condition
of individual and social morals;
there is immense saving in per
sonal civic expense; there is the
comfort Of greater security and
happiness in home and societv.
