There are a good many cross '

Kailroad. The price paid istnirty- '
one cents per tie, which brings '
tic sailer a remunerative price for 1
his timber and labor.

tho outlook.
Anout ten days ago, one night
as iht) ten o'clock passenger train
w is passing Van Wvck, some one
hurled a stone through one of the
windows of the sleeper, shattering
the glass, and cutting tho face of
one of the passengers. A few
days after this happened a detective
was put olT of the vestibule
one morning at Van Wvck and in
about naif an hour, ho hud his
g one, which turned out to bo a i
little colored boy about 11 ;
years old. Tho detective gave j
th- little urchin a timely lecture,
and turned him over to the boys'
father for a full chastisement and
ninny promises for better he^ j
huvior.
It has been reported by trust- J
worthy authority that Van Wyek i
had an elopement, a few <luv*
wince. The elopers are M E
Slur.ie* of Union county, N C, an<l ,
(Mi-** Eula VIcGnirt, daughter of
the late Isom McGuirt. It is re
p ?rted that Mr. Starnes has n
wife and several children in
North Carolina. Miss NlcGuirt
is shout 21 years old and an attractive
girl It is thought from
r fts of the'r departure, that
they have gone West. Mr. j
Star es had the hoodie and brass
to nuke a g.>(> 1 long trip.

W ednesdav night, for a visit to
,V W i,in n > -istcr, Mrs.
I! nhriok at X'illa Ivica, Ga. They
will visit relatives in Atlanta and
other places before they return.
Mr. It II Massev is not seen
about Van Wyck much now. lie i
spends a good deal of his time in
V; \haw, N C, looking after his
business interests there.
Mrs. Glasscock, Mrs. Drennan
ami Mrs. Mattio Hyatt of liar
nieny are visiting Mr ,1 A Ilyatt
and family.
Mrs VV .J Crenshaw is visiting
relatives in York county, this
week. Mr. Crer.shaw, is our
constable and looks like he has
tried to arrest some one hut has
fai !<>d. This can he explained by
his loneliness in the ahsenae of
his vife and fine hov.
Wo presume Mr \V R Tillman's
conscience has I wen eased in hi*
expl ination of that post office petitio
i: Some of his statementM
are misleading and especially the
one, where ho refers to Mr Voder
thinking that a man's signature
is worth nothing unless he has
property. No man thinks more
kindly and has more sympathy
and charity for the poo** man tlun

kindlv feelings for those who
signed Mr Tillman's petition and
knows do difference between those
and the ones who signed his. Mr
Tillman's reasons for the petition
are foreign to the real catiso and
if jn ilice had been eliminated from (
the feelings of the originators,
there would never have been a
petition circulated to remove Mr
Voder. Some courtesies extended
to some patrons of the office by
him hare been used to stab him
in the managtnient of the office.
If there is a doubting Thomas ns
to the strength of the petition to
sustain Mr. Voder, backed by the
wealth, intelligence and influence
if the community his doubts can
tie satisfied by an inspection of
the petition tiled in Van Wyek
postof!i:e, while Mr. Tillman's
petition has been committed to
the flames, ami the number of
those who signed and were going
to sign are known by memory.
We regret that this petition has
been destroyed and think the
originators should have kept it
as a souvenir of iheir follv.
op r i.MiTs.
Those who argue that the Filipinos
are as capable of self government
as the people of this
country were in 177b forget that
the American colonies had known
more than a* century of training
in civilized and orderly govern
ment here and came from civilized
governments. If experience
and conditions teach ns anything
they tell us that Colonel Bryan's
plan of immediately leaving the
Filipinos to themselves while for- j
bidding outside interference with
thorn would ho to precipitate anarchy
and build a fence around it
to make it permanent. Ho would
make us responsible to the world
for a peoplo over whom we would
have no control.
The early history of this country
contains many suggestions
that but for the guiding and controlling
power of homo governments
our honorod ancestors
would have been at each others'
throats most of the time. No
hard-hip or bloodshed canswd by
our armies in the Philippines
could be half so horrible as the
hardship and bloodshed that
would follow the withdiawal of
all control from a people of whom
the vast majority are half civilized
or actual savages and who
are divided into a score or more
??f antagonistic tribes. (Irecnv
i I It) News.
As an instance of how the uension
system of the government is
being abused, The Philadelphia
Times calls attention to the fact
that m single Ma-sachusctts regiment
that never was under tire,
that spent but a short time at San
tiago after the surrender of the
Spanish army, has to-day 550 ap
plications tiled for pensions, m
more than half of the entire number.
This has been done chiefly
or wholly by the pension sharks
getting access to the - oils of tho
regiments.and personally appealing
to every soldier to make ap
plication for u pension." The
Times wants tlio pension sharks
kicked out, and warns "the pen~
sion veterans of our civil war and
the soldier* of our war with Spain
and the Filipinos" that unless this
is done, "our jiension system
must provoke revolution." The
Times is not the only Northern
paper that has been driven to
openly protest againut the growin<r
frauds in the pension system.
In the eilort to bring about a leform,
the Southern papers have
had their inning. The Northern
papers now having taken up the
work, we shall watch for the re
