THEY EAT BABIES IN HAYTI
Cannibalism Among the Accom- pish
ments of the Negro
Republic.

H. f. WorleY, an agent of the insu-
lar bureau, who was sent to Santo
Domingo to investigate the revenue
Conditions on the border between the
Dominican and Haytian republics, has
made partial report to the war de-
partment at Washington. He esti-
mates that the smuggling that has
been going on across this border has
cost the Dominican government from
S350,000 to 100000 a year. The
method was to land goods at points
in Hayti and send them by coasting
vessels near the Dominican line.
They were then carried over the bor-
der by mule trains.
The tariff in Santo Domingo, ac-
cording to estimates made by Mr..
Worley, is about 10 per cent. ad valo-
rem, which is a great inducement to
smugglers.
Mr.. Morley also made a trip into
the interior of Hayti while he was on
the island, and says that reports were
often brought to him of savage Gus
toms in the widest regions, including
cannibalistic feasts, where the victims
are babies. These reports were suffi-
GENTLY authentic to be believed.

tend the conference, said:

tend the conference said:
Il have been told that there is very
great room for improvement as to the
restriction of immigration, and l have
no doubt that some people might i'm
prove on conditions at Ellis island
from their own point of view, but l do
not believe that a man who stands for
wide open policy, who would let
everybody in because his sympathetic
feelings get the better Of him would
be the proper man to enforce the law;
nor do | believe that man who has
concluded. for reasons best known to
himself, that there are already enough
people in this country, and for that
reason, and that only, no more should
come, would be a fit and proper per-
son to administer the law.
Il do not think that the law as it
stands is all that It ought to be. l
think some people are coming into this
country today who ought not to come
in. But l think the law is inadequate
to keep them out as it now stands. l
do not undertake to say to you how far
this tendency to exclude should be eX-
tended
IF you were to relax the rules and
leave it to the good judgment Of steam
ship companies undesirable immigra
ton would increase in contrastive pro
portion to said relaxation. Phe power
to exclude and the power to deport is
just in proportion to the power to fine
or punish for violating the law.
think steamship companies are en-
deavoring to obey the law, not because
they have any special scruples about
violating it, perhaps. but because they
do not like the punishment that is
meted out to them for not observing it.
IF the law can be improved, as l
believe it ought to be, all this confer
ence has to do is to make that known
to congress Get the law amended and
the government has ample machinery
and satisfactory facilities for enforcing
it effectively"

APPS SUFFER FROM THE WAR
-,r,yY TAXATION AND WANT
OF FOOD THE CAUSE.

Great Discomfort Throughout Mfka-
,.,- Realm. The Nation Has Had
severe Blow 10y Russian War.
Toxic dispatch says the people
.Iapan have taken the lessons OF
,o recent war with Russia very much
J., heart They are just waking up to
o,o fact that this is a commercial and
;odnstriaI and banking age, and not
military age. For the last ten or
'nortv wears everything has been sac
;fcod to the army and the navy, which
lac been supreme all the while.
Even the schoolboys in Japan had it
II toured out how the Emperor was
hound to triumph on land and sea here
=. tho Orient over the hated Russians.
Como of the children had studied ques-
CONS Of sea power and military tactics
until they had become experts. OF
conrse, it was expected that a large
iodemnitv would accompany the end
,,c Of = successful war, and that this
rdemrity would put Japan on its feet
commercially and industrially and
nov for the money invested in the
army and the navy.
Hence the announcement that Rus
,ia would pay no indemnity came with
oil Of the force of a Knockout blow.
THE elder statesmen saw clearly that
Russia could carry on the war in
definitely.
Limit Reached for Japan.
The Japanese were at the END OF
their rope, financially speaking. Up
to the time of the peace conference at
Portsmouth everybody had believed
that Russia would be willing to help
Japan bear the burdens of the war by
having an indemnity. But when the
fat REFUSAL of the Gar to pay one
dollar in the form of indemnity began
TO penetrate the brains of the rank and
file of the japanese army, the Jap
snese people saw that they had been
hicked again Without the prospects
Of an indemnity from Russia the bank
ers would not loan the million or two
million dollars per day necessary to
carry on the war. The result meant
absolute financial ruin for Japan,
since everyone knew that Japan could
never carry the war to the gates of
st. Petersburg.
Hence Japan, instead of being in
the position of cOnquering nation, is
really in the position today of con-
ouered nation. And this, too, after
winning every battle on land and sea.
Poor Suffer the Lack of Food.
The trouble is that the taxes are
running the empire, and the recent
riots we're as much due to the fact that
the poorer classes are suffering for
food as to the appropriately in gen
eral way of the peace terms. For the
people have been given to understand
that Japan has acquired what are
relatively large sized possessions to
the north and to the west, and they do
not understand the question of an in
demnity as much as they understand
the matters of a pressure of taxation
and the pinchings of poverty.
The result will be that if the vel
low peril" menances the world in the
future it will be an industrial peril,
not a military peril. For the people
of Japan have been laugh severe
lesson by Russia and the banking in
terests of the world, and from this
time on they propose to make trade,
commerce and the acquisition OF ma
tional wealth the chief thing to be
considered.

RUSSIA MOBOLIzING MEN.

Will Station Three Hundred Thous-

A Toxic dispatch says Russia will

frontier since peace has been declared,
partly because she is apprehensive OF
the soldiers joining the malcontentS
at home and partly for intimidation
Of the Chinese.

At The Theatre.

The Donnelly and Hatfield mini
strels will hold the boards at the opera
house on Saturday night.
The Norfolk (Va) Times speaks OF
the performance in that city thus:
The performance given last night
left nothing to be desired. The sing
ers were all good. the comedians
clever, and the jokes and monologues
all new and up-to-date.
Among the specially good musical
numbers was Mr. Johnson's solo.
"Wl1en the Fields are White With
Daisies" and Mr. Stanley's song
Bunker Hill" "T1e Military Coons,"
by Brown and iIvers was decidedly
good number and they were forced to
respond to numerous enchores and
the quartette composed of Messrs.
Johnson, Stanley, Losee and Decker
who sang "When the Winds Ger the
: Sea Blows a Gale" was one of the
Drettiest numbers on the program.
In the olio there were number OF
decided novelties, foremost among
them being the Tuscano Brothers in
their remarkable roman battle ak Jug
Cling act and the Toledo troupe of
acrobats and contortionists in their
"Jungle Phantastic."
It would be TO leave out one of the
most enjoyable features Of the whole
performance were Tommy Donnelly
and Harry Skunk's comedy skit in
which they introduce number Of de-
cidedly clever parodies and one of the
cleverest double monologues that has
been heard here for a long time, omit
ted. 1t was with the greatest enthu-
siasm that this popular couple was
greeted by the audience who did not
fail to bestow upon them kindly
recognition for their very clever work
and the pleasant memories they re-
called.

Good Cotton Pickers.

Some while ago the Anderson Mail
published notice of what a family
did in that county in the cotton field.
1t was very good for the children.
They are the grandchildren of Con-
federate soldier.
The following is what the Mail had
to say Of this family Of cotton pickers:
Mr.. P. W. Tins of Garvin town
ship is a Confederate veteran. He is
62 years old and is enjoying the best
Of health. He has 80 grandchildren
an seven great-grandchildren
The o.ller day, just to show what
he could do, he went out into the
cotton field and picked 263 pounds of
cotton between sunrise and sunset,
and even then did not hurt himself
His grandson, J. B. Tins, aged four
and a half years, picked 40 pounds of
cotton in one half day. Another
grandchild, Leila Tins, aged IS, pick
ed 267 pounds of cotton in day, and
still another grandchild, Geneva Tins,
aged II, picked 252 pounds in a day.
This is the story told by Mr.. Tins
son. J. P. Tins, who is the father of
the children who made such a good
record. He says he can furnish
abundant corroborative evidence, if
any is needed.
The best cotton picking that we
have ever heard of was done last week
on Mr.. P. N. Boozer's place in No. 7
township.
Bessie Sanders, a solored woman,
started after the sun had been up
about a half hour and quit before it
set about half hour and during that
time she gathered 500 pounds. Her
sister, Mary Sanders, picked during
the same time 40 pounds.
1t was fine cotton having open at
the time about 1000 pounds TO the
acre.
This is good cotton picking.

COLLEGE "REMINISCENCES.
Lecture Before Newberry College By
John Belton O'Neall Holloway
Much Enjoyed.

]. B. O'Neall Holloway. an alumnus
of Newberry college of the class OF
rs, made an addressbefore the students
in Holland Hall auditorium on Thurs
day Of last week. His subject was
college "reminiscences" and being
one of the older alumni his address
was interesting. He vividly contrast
ed the meagre appointments, an entire
lack of anything like reason able COM
forts in the old college building at
Walhialla and the splendid, up-to-date
and beautiful buildings that now adorn
the college campus in Newberry. His
transformations of many Of his tel
low students and especially his class
mates ever full Of good humor were
heartily enjoyed by the student body
The speaker paid a splendid tribute to
DR.. Smeltzer who was president OF
tic college during his attendancc-to
the noble sacrifices, l:erolc devotion
and loyalty 10 the college. He feel
;i'g!y declared that every act Of DR..
S,neltzcr, every fibre of his being, ev.
cry pulsa.ion of his heart, every turn
o:s his hand. was for the good Of New
berry. He held the interests of New
berry college dear to his heart and
made sacrifices for the college that
now seem almost incredible to COM
prehend. He likewise paid a feeling
tribute 20 Prof. D. Arlington.
Mr.. Holloway interspersed his re-
marks with apt Illustrations from the
lives OF former students showing what
success they had made. rs success
worth the aim," asked the speaker,
and answered the question By declar-
ing that success is desired, should be
desired, but success is a low stand
ard-it leaves out the moral element
of character-it takes no account OF
the methods by which success is at
tanned, and cites the example Of Dives
and Lazarus. The former estimated
bv the worlds standard was grand
success; the latter a stupendous fall
ure. But is it really so? Measured
by the worlds standard some Of the
noblest men, whose lives have enrich
ed humanity and blessed the world
here are failures. Measured by the
same standard some ignoble men, who
lived wholly selfish lives have attain
ed the highest success. There is
something 'worthier than success-lt
is faithfulness 10 duty in every posi-
.tion in life, high or low, where kind
Providence has placed one to serve.
There is something better than srlc-
cess, or fame or pomp and vanltles OF
this world-a noble life consecrated
TO noble ends and spent in humble
service.
Man-making declared the speaker
is the most tremendous work that
can engage the efforts of anyone.
The address was enjoyed as evil
denced by the many acts OF approval
from the student body.
