1t is refreshing in these days when
Georgia, Arizona, Alabama, New
exercise the public mind to a large
extent to learn from the statements
of the Philippine Mission that $780,
900 of the 100000 population of
the Islands live on their own farms,
and that 81 per cent. of the houses
and lands of the urban population is
owned by the natives. At the same
time while the United States is
shocked at the inventory of it's own
wealth, it is pleasant to learn that
the Philippine government holds
about 100000 of the 100000
acres Of timber lands in the Islands
The population of the Philippines
is more homogeneous than that of
the United States. Seventy per cent.
of the population above ten years of
age can read and write, which is
pretty good when one considers that
the percentage of illiterates in Loui-
siana is % per cent; % per cent in
Mississippi, and over 20 per cent in
Georgia, Arazona, Alabama, New
Mexico and South Carolina. The
comparison shows that there are con-
ditions among our own States which
make it imperative that there should
be educational awakening, lest some
Of these localities might have the
damaging suspicion cast upon them
as was the case in the Philippines

A WORD FOR THE GATOR.
charleston News and Courier.


The alligator is another good citi-
zen whose usefulness is overlooked;
for killing alligators has been from
time immemorial a popular pastime.
In Louisiana it was found that, when
the alligators were killed off, the
muskrat multiplied and destroyed the
levees; also the cotton-mouth mecca
sin, the garfish and the carp in
creased wonderfully. Whereupon pro-
lection was given to alligators. This
lacertilian, to- give him his correct
family name, has probably kept the
muskrat away from the South Caro-
lima Coast, for the muskrat is un-
known on the coast. If allowed to
multiply the alligator will make in
roads on the carp, the garfish and
the cotton-mOuth, all undesirable
members of our fauna. The sum to-
tai of the alligator's evil doing
amounts to this: He catches dog
now and then; once in a while pulls
hog or bites the tail off a cow, for
sundry stump-tailed cows along the
Atlantic Coast Line rightof-way
have met misfortune in this way.
The COW, the dog and the hog are out
of place when the alligator can get
at them; but at best very little of
this happens. Be-
