Wednesday, December 7. 1898 PHIEXZPXXJ3S OUSS--WHAT S TO BE DONE "WITH THEM. " Spaiu has accented the United Sfites' offer of $20,000,000, aud bas consented to release Cuba, to cede Pi>rto Rico, Guam and the Phillipioe 'It and?. It is polite'v called "the offer of the United Stater," bnt trnthfally^ta'el Spain ?ba$ been forcpd to ternus Tbe people will natural!? be divided as to the wisdom of adding territory in another hemisphere, populated by a semi-civilized people, wholly d ffe rent from us. Some will favor it DeV cause they are always in favor of a change, often mistaking change for development, others will oppose it because thev look apon it as a most dangerous experiment. There are many people in the South who have an idea that the South has stood in its /" own way to the prosperity of the North, because the South has been too ? onservative and too devoted to "the teachings of the fathers" as to principles underlying government and the " -' true principles of a stable and en. faring government. They argue that . 'we have long enough followid the logic of State Sovereignty and other principles of snch man as Calhoun, and indeed some few of these New ~ -* - > l 1 hnnto fiontn acvocaces uavc wuiacu uuuao criticising Mr. Calhoun's principles as too painfully logical, admitting > apogeticaily, out at sentiment for their section, that Calhoun's theories are logically correct, but impracticable apd wholly onsoited and unadapted to the practical administration of our government and to "the material progress" of tbe country. "It is ticie," they say, "to fell ioto the procession of progress and surrender > - thefse dry bones." But after all thougbtfn! people will ask wbither are we going and what will be the eud? Tbo undertaking is a tremendous one, and by assuming it we are assuming tbe solution of a problem, tbe solution of which is harder to find than the unsolved "Negro Problem." The Negro Qaestion and the Phillipine ' ' Question while possesfinff many points in common are wholly dissimilar in many very important pnases. xoe uegro^is surrounded by the superior , race'; he fires amcmg his superiors; be bus be?fn trained by environment and oiherwise to suffer tobedience. But wi'.h the Philippines it is not bo. Tbey bare tonjiht for freedom, and shed their blood for ir. No racc in all the v. orld's bfstory has ever been able to exhibit its capacity to rule and govern iteeif without shedding its blood. The ~fsct that the Philippines have done this is in itself evidence that trouble is in ctore for ;his government, and the trouble will' not ceasc without great " Tlia TTnito^ Ktafog will TlftV Jk. jLJ> vuivuu w/M4>^w It ? IT "J more tban $20^000,000 for the PhillipiDes and a price? besides, that cannot ? be measured io dollars. ; It is fnlly admitted that there are two sides to the question, and strong arguments on both sides jast as there are strong arguments in favor of a monarcbiai form of government and strong oses in favor vf a Republican government. Some of the difficulties in oar way are so obvious that they need only to be hinted for one to foresee some of the troubles ahead. We must admit that in a republic all citizens are free and equal under the law, and that "a government derives ' its*fast powers from th? consent of the governed, and that there. must be no - taxation; without representation." Is it with the consent cf the Phillipines i ihat we shall govern them? Shall we tax thera without representation? If we give them -representation on what other ^ba8i3 can it be done than the : present basis of representation which we ourselves "have? Then again, what kind of citizens and representatives will they make? It is safe to say that "the imperialists" have ?o other idea than to hold these people in subjection, and a large standing army * will;be a necessity. An epoch in our history has been reached, and we are ntt-erly io the dark as to our future. The old conservatism of the South may yet be our safety.? Already the Philllpinos have shown that 'nev intend to give trouble if the ' United States shall bold the Philippine group. The Pbillipinos claim with considerable justice ''their homes" are not "to be bought and eold like mer_> chandise" in the peace settlement between the United States and Spain. The Pbillipinos will claim their independence, and thousands of citizens in the United States will feel that they onght to have it. It is now plain that if we keep the Phillpines, we shall have them to fight and conquer. Again we say that the Philiipices will co?tthis country a good deal more than S20,000,000. A Clever Trick. It certainly looks like it, but there ie really no trick about it. Anybody tre it- who has Lame Back and I Vreak Kidneys, M:.'aria or nervon-: troubles.

Lgwri??mmMI MYlittE N'E WS Owing to the continued ruins the farmers hare been samewhit <le!ayed in the sowing of small grain. Bat most of the farmers have pot in more wheat than last year op to the present lime and there is still a great d^a! to sow. Tae qotfon and corn crop is about harvested Most farmers are very well satisfied with this years cotton crop. There ha* been a very gooti crop realized, although it has been verv low prices all the season, bnt the farmers apparently are nbt.as blue a? I have seen them, although^there are some that are rather despondent. The corn crop is about up with last year The grain is rath?r inferior or there is a great deal of damaged corn in this years crop Some have estimated the damaged or rotten coru at about 25 per cent. Bat strange ti> say the corn that was made on bottom lands is far superior in quality to that made on up lands, as the loss jon that made on bottom or low lands;.is comparatively sm ill.

After a most beautiful fall old wiDter has made his advent with almost a blizzard. On Saturday Dight the wind was fearful, and to-day the ground is covered with sleet, and we arc all lamenting the "death of the flowers." The chrysanth?mnms have been nnusaally profuse and beantifal this season. The ladies of Rock Creek Cbarck gave a very pleasant enter tainmeut at the hospitable borne 01 Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Edrington oe Thanksgiving night, which was attended by a nice crowd of young; people. Tbe night was lovely atf Luna's rays were dispensed with lavish grace, making this old esrih "a thing of beauty." Misses Carri*; Saber ana Annie Lyles presided at the fruit table with irrisisiible srrace, while Misses Willie Connts aud Clam Fee relieved the hungry ?f their spare change, ac they filed into the sapper ro where a bountifal and appetizing repast was spread. Later in the evening Miss Beulah Conats sold tickets fpr a cake, which was won Jby Mi?s Annie Lvles as tbe most papular young lady pit- t. While receipts were not as gr<-.at as ;the ladies hoped for, yet, it w?i$ % pleasant occasion and enjoyed by ail present. I most heartily endorse all tfrat "Fritz" says about prohibition.

We have hard limes, yon all well know, To chnrch we hardly get to go: When the Sabbath comes we are tired down, From working hard the whole week rouud. We aie looked upon as the lowest trade Of the" whole creation Sod has made. And I'll hare you all never to forget We are called the poor ignorant factory set.

The kinueys are responsible for more sickness, suffering, aDd dealh* than any other organs of the body. A majority of thj ills affecting people to-dav is traceable to kidney trouble. It prevades ail classes of society, in ail climates, regardless. of age, spx or condition. The symptoms or Kiunev trouoie are unmistakable, such as rheumatism, neuralgia, sleeplessness, pain or doll ache in the bace, a desire to urina'e often day or night, profuse or scanty snppl>. Uric acid, or brick dnst deposit in urine are sians of clogged kidneys, causing poisoned ana germ-fiiicd blood Sometimes the heart acts badly, and tube car.ts (wastinsr of he kidneys) are found in the n?\oe, which if neglected will resu t in I Bright';: Disease, the most dang,? runs ! form of kidney trouble.
