President Writes Second Letter
TO Representative WadS-

STILL INSISTS THAT
CHANGES ARE NEEDED
Admits, However, That He
Was Mistaken in ConStruc-

WASHINGTON. June 1G.-Presldent
Roosevelt has added another chapter
to the literature of the meat inspection
controversy. 1t was not through any
desire Of his that the correspondence
between himself and Representative
Wadsworth, chairman OF the commit
tee on agriculture, was published in its
entirety. Inasmuch however, as Chair
man Wadsworth deemed 1t desirable
that the letters should be published
and gave them to the public, the Presi
dent regards II as proper to complete
the correspondence thus far exchanged
by the publication of his reply to Mr.
Wadsworth's letter.
In his letter. the President. while
admitting his error in stating that the
House substitute contained no provi-
sion for the making Of inspections OF
packing houses at all hours OF the day
or night, says the substitute still is In
adequate to meet the requirements o1
the situation. The President says that
after a conference with Representative
Adams Of Wisconsin, a member OF the
Agricultural Committee, he is con-
convinced Mr. Adams will accept the
suggestions made TO him regarding the

Congress cannot take away the con-
stitutional right or the packers or OF
any one else, TO the protection OF the
courts. But such a provision as that
under consideration does not represent
a desire 10 secure the constitutional
rights OF any man. II represents doubt
less in some cases an honest though
wholly mistaken conviction; in other
cases it represents "a deliberate purpose

THE MORO "SLAUGHTER."

A great huIlabaloo has been
raised by the press, the pulpit
and members Of Congress over
the recent killing of several hun
dred MorUs, in the Philippines,
by United States troops. Among
the killed were a number of wo
men and children-henCe the
howl in this country. The kill
ing is TO be greatly regretted, OF
course, but according 10 authen
tic reports now being received j.
was an unfortunate necessity.
The women, it appears, were
dressed as men, and could not,
therefore, be distinguished from
the latter by our soldiers. They
were in the ranks fighting side by
side with male MOros. And the
children we're used as shields by
the men. 1t was impossible, from
the very nature OF things, for the
American soldiers to so regul at e
their fire as to avoid killing the
women and children.
The soldiers of this country
are not brutes, neither are they
wilful murderers, and when the
news was sent broadcast through
out the world that they had ruth
lessly slaughtered innocent w0-
men and children the report car
ried with 1T a strong degree OF
improbability.
In the first place, the Moros
killed were notorious outlaws
men who not only defied the au
thOrily of this country but that
of their own as well. The Gov
ernor General at Manila charac
terizes them as "gang Of
cut throats who were preying
upon the community" and he
says that The Filipino public
highly approves OF the action of
the Americans

Court Proceedings.
Interesting Damage
Suits Tried this w eek.

The principal time Of court in
session here his week has been
taken up in he trial of damage
suits against corpora ions. More
than one OF interest has been
heard. Among the first 10 attract
attention was the case of John
NJ Yandle, OF the Oseola section.
against the Seaboard Air Line
Railroad company for damages
for searching mis- premises with
out warrant for stolen goods.
The jury returned verdict in
iavor of the plaintiff Tor $500.
The Springfield Fire and Ma.
rine Insurance company and the
Lancaster and Chester Railroad
company obtained a verdict
against the Southern Railroad
company for $2,O83.7S. The suit
was to reimburse plaintiffs for
fire losses paid-the burning OF
lot of cotton at the depot a
year or two ago, the plaintiff :
claiming that the fire was cause d
by one of the Southern's engines.
Another interesting trial was
that of the case Of Joseph II.
Fields, of Winnsboro, against the
Lancaster Cotton Mills and G.
B. Skipper for damages alleged
TO have been sustained by rea.
son of "ducking" the plaintiff
got some time last year in the
company's reservoir. The jury
rendered a verdict against the
company for $500.
The next case tried was that
OF IL. w. Doster, OF the Pleasant
Valley section, against the Wes
tern Union Telegraph company,
damages claimed for delay in de-
livery of a message notifying
plaintiff of the death Of his
grandchild in Monroe. The
verdict was for $3.50.
Another damage suit, that of
w. ID. Trent against the
Southern Power Company, for
injury sustained to hand while
at work at Catawba Falls, result
ed in a verdict for ;he plaintiff
for $500.
The juries were discharged
yesterday morning, and the re.
mainder of the day was devoted
10 the hearing equity of causes.

Saturday, March "a, 1906.

One of the anomalies Of the
law was illustrated at the present
term OF court. An old man was
sentenced to pay fine of $500.
,or selling liquor and a young
man fined $3.50. for shooting an
other. Is the inference TO be
drawn that in the eyes of the law

WATER WORKS AND ELECTRIC
LIGHTS.

The News appreciates the kind
ly words about its work for Ian
caster by its esteemed contem,
porary, the Kershaw Era, pub
lished elsewhere. The suggestion
as to starting a movement for
water works and electric lights is
a good one. We had already been
thinking about the matter, but
concluded thai it would not be
the part of wisdom to agitate too
many public improvements al
one time. Besides, the commu
nifty has scarcely had time to gel
over its disappointment at the
failure Of the effort made a year
or two ago to secure water works
and electric lights, 1t is the pur
pose OF The News TO advoca e
the establishment Of both OF these
public utilities in due season.
