From Our Own Correspondit!(. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 21, 1001. Interest iu thc nttitr.de of President Roosevelt towards the South was in creased this week hy his inviting Hook er Washington to dinner with him at the White House, receiving him,just exactly as he would have received any other guest. This fact has* of course, caused something of? a sensation among Southern men here, who assort that the President canndt realize the harm ho has done by his a'ction nor the effect that it will have on tin* negroes of tho South. At; a matter of fact, however, there is really no reason for surprise ut Mr. Roosevelt's action, Professor Washington not being the first negro by any means, whom hu has entertain ed. During his tenn of Governor of Xew York, ho took a young colored singer, who had been refused accom modation by all tho Albany hotels, to his house and lodged him there throughout his stay in the city. Thoro is a good deal of talk of the selection of some decent Republican (if such can bo found available) or of .some gold Democrat from the South, for a post in Presideut Roosevelt's Cabinet, which is certain to bc re modeled to some extent sooner or later -probubly this winter. There may or may not be anything in this, but such a selection would be in consequence with Mr. Roosevelt's declaration that he did not intend to be sectional in his management of. the government. Cer tainly, no President can claim to be freo from sectionalism who follows thu example of ail his Republican prede cessors and excludes the vast area of the Southern States from all place in his Cabinet. Probably Mr. Roosevelt has not yet taken up this matter seriously and will not do so until the need arises. Meanwhile his selection of Governor Jones, of Alabama, for a federal judge ship shows that he intends to follow President McKinley's program of build ing up n decent Republican party and turning down tho old disreputable party organization there. It is certain that he will not favor any plan to cut down the representation of the South on ac count of tho suppression of the negro vote. Indeed, there is reason to be lieve that his ideas or this subject are not far removed from those of Senator Morgan, of Alabama, who said recent ly:! "The negro is already sick of vot inflr. There are 10 per cent of the ruco who can vote intelligently. The rest aro for the most part on the market; their votes can often be had for a dol lar or a drink. They havo already been thrown over by the people. We are living under the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to tho Constitu tion, but if thoau amendments could be proposed now to a Congress they would not command the support of one-sixth of vo Senate and tho House. That is on indication of popular senti ment." Indications continue to multiply that the Filipinos are not resigned to Amer ican rule any more tfcf.n the Boers aro to British dominion; they have ceased fighting because they realize that it is useless for them to continue; that is all. This is shown by the sudden out break in Samar and by other smalle** and less t'ucos^ful uprisings in other islands, ?Vhen the news of these first came, it '..as insisted by the War De partment (and by General Otis, a fact which alono might weU hnve made us distrustful) that th? rising was only sporadic and would not interfere in thc least with the proposed reduction ir. the number of our troops to bo main tained in tho islands. Now, however, General Chafl'ce has eabied that he thinks it unwise fo withdraw any of the 42,000 men still there. Conse quently President Roosevelt has de cided that tho 20,000 whose terms of enlistment soon expire shall bo replaced by new men nnd that the present force shall bo kept up indefinitely. Xor will the 7,000 men now in Cuba be with drawn until next spring some time, so that about half tho total availablo force of tho United States will remain over seas for nearly a year longer nt thu least. Meanwhile, lenving aside the' great expense that this foreign service ! entails, tho home garrisons aro suiter- j ing severely for want of proper atten- j tion. Scarcely one has a full regiment I and even the largest have not enough I men Cor thc ordinary field manoeuvres. I President Roosevelt, it is learned, will follow the example of his prede cessor :md ccannend Ino building up of our shipping in general terms without committing himself on the subsidy proposition. Ho docs this on thc '. ground that he has not studied thc sub- ' ject Ruflicicnt to be able to advise upon it--an access of modesty almost in comprehensible on thc part of the cock sure *rit?tjgh Rider." Tho fact ?B, however, that ho shows pretty good political judgment in acting thus, as tho Republican party is about equally divided on tho subsidy question, and it is just as well to let the two factions fight it out. But it ia probably the j Ural time in his lifo that Teddy has de-1 liberately kept out of a scrap. . It is emint'ttly characteristic of Kc-; publican ideas thnt of all thc members ii that party who have pointed out moana of disposing of iiio surplus, not. >ne, so far as is known, hus recom mended a reduction of taxation that may prevent its piling up again. Tho motto of the Republicans has always been to exact nil tho money thc poop] cia bc wrought to vote, with tho conti dence that means for spending it cn easily bu found. Thus, at thc last sci sion, with nu accrued surplus of som eighty millions ?Mid un anticipated sui plus*of tho same amount for the nc: year, all that thc party would conccii was an alleged reduction of 610,000 OOO, which lins turned out, so far, t amount to only S?1,000,000 a month, < $12,000,0(iu a y car. In the fae? nf Wv numbers of Republican Co?grcssme who have been interviewed on thc sui jeer, object to a reduction in tax?t io and suggest that tho* gold accumuh' ?ious can begotten rid of l>v redee.min and cancelling the greenbacks mctliouS which of com se, would merci substitute :\ permanent coutracti?n n 'the currency of the country for a tent porary locking up of it. One evidence of the Republics ideas on (innucini subjects in lound i the strong movement tp negative th proposition of the Commercial Cnbl Company to lay a cable to Manila with out any cost whatever to tho govern ment, and substitute therefor nu ac providing for a cable hud either by th government or with a government sub sidy. Either way, tho cost toUncl ?am would be about $20,000,000 in cash and would involve the begiuning of i policy of government ownership o public utilities. Hut then, think hov nico it would be for the company tba Was aided. A Reply to Mr. Ashley.

Corn is generally a fair yield throughout this entire community, as our people endeavor to make plenty at home to do them, and wo are indeed glad to note that must of our farmers aro making about enough this year for home consumption. Cotton is only a two-thirds of n crop and rather late about opening. Mr. J. B. Hunuicub's talks at Ander son and Honen Path, respectively, have put our farmers to thinking in regard to "deep plowing," i ad in consequence two of our farmers, Messrs. J. N. Shir ley and Wm. Kickets, are trying it as an experiment. Wo aro confident that the results will be gratifying. They hnve prepared an nore eaeh for oats; have broke the ground about 13 inches and thoroughly ham-owed and fer* tilized it, and we are going to watch tho results and report. We are having some lovely weather for harvesting the farm produce. Min. G. F. Bigby, of Anderson, at tended the Kay-Bigby wedding last week.
