| ed States" says Mrs. de Veyra. 81 do
not mean to infer We are perfect, for
we are not. My people have most Of
the defects, l suppose, that other hu-
mans have, but at the same time we
are far from the people that many
Americans have been made to believe.
Not only are we a Christian people,
but our race has a history that we are
not ashamed of. Throughout the Phil.
ippine Islands the people are now
working earnestly to improve them
selves and their conditions so they will
be prepared to take over their own af-
fairs. We all love America for giving
us a chance to help ourselves and for
having promised us our independence,
which Is one of the dearest desires of
the entire citizenship Of the islands,"
To American women whose ideas Of
Filipinos have been founded on Sun
day supplement descriptions Of wild
tribes, Mrs. de Veyra's gentle manner
and evident culture have been a reve-
lation. She is sought by women's clubs
because of her charming manner as an

country.
At a recent Washington gathering
she gave in perfect English a concise
account of the work Of a woman's club

babies Of the poor and trains mothers
to care for their young children. She
told of another woman's club which
has branches all over the Philippine

Philadelphia, May 22.-Mrs. Emma
G. Bergdoll, widow of a wealthy brew
er, was found guilty of four charges of
wantonly pointing firearms, but was
acquitted on bills charging conspiracy
and assault and battery with intent to
kill, by a jury Thursday. She was
fined $50 and costs on each bill, max
ing a total of 1919, which she paid be-
fore leaving court.
The charges against Mrs. Bergdoll
resulted from a raid by police and de-
partment of justice agents on her
home, when her son, Grover Cleveland
Bergdoll, sentenced to five years i'm
prisonment at Fort Jay, Governors Is
land, for desertion from the army, was
captured several months ago.

Permit us to present the De Veyra
family.
The Hon. Jaime G. de veyra is the
Resident Commissioner from the Phil
ippine Islands to the United States and
has just been elected to a second term
of three years. AS Resident Commits
sioner he has a seat on the floor of
the American Congress, the privilege
of taking part in debates, although no
vote.
Commissioner de Veyra has an inter
esting wife and four bright Filipino
Riddles. The De Yeyra family, individ-
ually and collectively, constitute the
best argument as to the tact and capa-
bilities Of Filipinos that the Philippine
Islands have in Washington.
The commissioner is a 100 per cent
Filipino, a Visayan, and Is one of the
foremost leaders Of the party in power
in the islands. During American occu-
patton he has been successfully gov
ernor Of his province, member Of the
Philippine legislature, cabinet mem
Der and executive secretary of the
islands.
Like many statesmen of the Philip
pines, he was originally a newspaper
man. He was one of the founders of
Ell Nuevo Dia of Cebu, the first Fill
Pine paper published advocating Phil
ippine independence. The paper came
under the censorship of General Nc
Intyre, and on the appearance Of the
first number the editors were left In
the singular position Of seeing every
prominent article blue penciled.
Mrs. de Veyra, like her husband, is
a Five wire in the Philippines cause.
She is the best known Filipino In
America. She is an interesting public
speaker and is constantly giving Illus
trated lectures at women's clubs and
other gatherings. Mrs. de Veyra is a

the persistence with which he is do

taking on the appearance Of sprin :

this phase Of the work will be prose

The New Road Assured.

Bids were opened last wednesday
for the road from the Warm Springs
ferry to the summit of Wilson creek,
by the Board OF Trade. Two bids were
received Sor $500 each, one for $500,
one for $l45O and one for $4,000. The
latter was put in by Jake Nelson, a
freighter, and to him the contract was
awarded. Work will begin at once
and before many days we will have
the shortes, and best route to Silver
City The route not only shortens the
distance from 10 to S miles but avoids
the high passes and will be open the
year round. The freighters of Rey-
nolds creek are very enthusiastic ov-
er it and it IS largely through their
contributions and efforts that the road
will be built There is little doubt
but that a stage will be put on from
Caldwell to Silver City and Delmar.
Owing to the shortened distance and
the low passes this is bound to be .
come the principal highway between
the railroad and the Owyhce country.
Frcighters will all come this way.

FARMERS SPEAK
TO BOTH PARTIES

, Chicago, May l2.-Recognition
for farmers will be asked of the
platform makers of each of the two
great parties at their June conven-
tion by the representatives of the
various farm organizations of the
country. This action was decided on
today at the closing of the two day
meeting of the national board of
farm organizations.
According to Charles A. Leyman,
national secretary of the board, it
was the general opinion of the dele
gates that the food producers never
had received the attention of either
the Republican or Democratic parties
to which they were entitled. 1t was
their purpose, he said, to send repre-
sentatives to the Chicago and San
Francisco conventions with demands
that they be recognized in the forma-
ton of party platforms and to throw
the weight of their support at the
November election to that party
which gave the greatest consideration
to the farmer in the party declara-
ton of principles. The main points
which farmers will insist on were
outlined by H. D. Cooper of Little
Falls, N. Y. They follow:
Right of collective bargaining by
agricultural interests as set forth in
the pending Capper-Hersman bill.
Conservation of forests, with a
view to keeping down the cost to
consumers of print paper and lumber.
Payment of the war debt through
direct taxat' :, on "those best able to
pay" meaning corporations and per-

as against ten-year average of "a

The condition of rye in this State

The condition Of live stock in the

during the past year than usual. The
estimates show that about 2 per cent
of horses and mules, 8 per cent of
cattle and sheep and 5.5 per cent of
swine died during the year from dis
ease, exposure or neglect. The de-
crease in mortality of swine during
recent years is attributable largely
to the activity of county agents or
Extension Department in the use of
serums, which have meant much in
minimizing or checking serious out
breaks of hog cholera. The condition
Of horses and mules of all ages in
South Carolina on May 1 was 81 per
