FOR BARBAROUS CONDUCT.
President Koosevelt Will Not Take
Any Excuse as Justifying In
human Conduct on Part
of Americans.
It begins to look as If some of the
American otticers over in the Philip
pine Islands will be held to account
for cruelties practiced on the native*.
As a result of the consideration by the
cabinet last week of the charge* of
cruel treatment of Kilipiui* by United
State* (u*Wlem.' Secretary Hoot has

characterize the coitiuct of the army
generally in theJ’hwippines; but the
fact that any sue* acts of cruelty and
barbkrity appear to have been done
indicates the necessity of a most thor
ough, searching and exhaustive inves
tigation under the general charges pre
ferred by Gqv. Gardener and you will
spare no effort, in the investigation
already ordered under these charges,
to uncover every such ease which may
have occurred and bring the offenders
to justice.
The president desires to know In the
fullest and most circumstantial man
ner all the facts, nothing being con
cealed, and no man being for any rea
son favored or shielded. For the very
reason that tha-president intends to
back up the army in the heartiest fash
ion in every lawful and legitimate
method of doing Its work, he also in
tends to see that the most rigorous
care exercised to detect and prevent
any cruelty or brutality, and that nun
who are guilty thereof are punished.
Great as the provocation has been in
dealing with foes who habitually re
sort to treat.'herv, murder and torture
against our men. nothing can justify
or will lie held to justify the use of
|torture or inhuman conduct of any
I kind on tlu* part of the American

The second weekly bulletin of the
season of the condition of the weather
and crops in South Carolina was Issued
last week by Director Hauer of the
South Carolina section of the climate
and crop service of the United States
weather bureau. It is as follows:
The early part of the week ending
Monday, April 14, was unseasonably
cold, with heavy frost and thin ice in
exp<*ed places to within about 30
mile* of the coast, on the Wth. The
ckisc of/the week had about normal
temperature. Light fn»t* occurred In
the northwestern portions on the Kth

THE CHAELS8T0N EXPOSITION.
President Roosevelt Will Not Forget
His Visit, and the Whole

Of course President Roosevelt’s trip
tu Charleston, say* the Washington
correspondent of the Columbia State,
was a Nucoeas, the occasion for the
heartiest demonstrations from South
Carolina wherever he went, and a
genuine pleasure to the distinguished
visitor himself. There doubtless were
some people In Washington who
doubted that this would be the case.

the South Carolina colony. No one

That is all I shall ask of South Car
olina a few feet of earth where my
kindred for sis general Usieare resting.
And 1 am proud to say that one or
more of each generation, since they
were kliomn in South Carolina, has
tilled a bloody grave for Sout h Carolina.
(Applause.) I claim no credit for
that. Emry South Carolinian who
was true was willing to give his blood
and his life for tin old State. 1 am
sure that 1 was willing to do so. I
think lean say so to you. my men,
that 1 never turned my back npon any
of you when your faces were turned to
ward the enemy. The greatest honor
that I felt during the war was once
when l came upon a poor private who
was dying. I stopped'beside him and
he said: “I am happy to die fighting
and I am proud to die fighting under
you.”
I pray God will bless you and will
give you pace and prosi>erity, give it
to the old State, give »it to each one of
you and that you will go home and tell
your kindred that yoirhave seen your
old comrade, and that he thanks them
til rough you.

there is a right older even than this,
and one more inalienable—the right
that every man has to defend his home
and to protect those who are depen

my country who can fire a gun would
shoot down as he would a wild beast,

You ar? particular in defining and
claiming “war rights.” May 1 ask if
you enumerate among tliese the right
to fire upon a defenceless city without
notice: to hum that city to the ground
aftkq it had been surrendered by the
inhabitants, who claimed, though in
vain, rhat protection which is always
accorded in civilized warfare to non-

A Close Call.
Four assistants to an undertaker
suddenly dropped a coffin they were
carrying out of the Patterson, N. J.,
Jail door, when the supposed corpse
broken open the lid and sat up and in
vociferous Italian said hq was not
dead. He was Alexander Scazeilet,
imprisoned for some slight offense.
He had been called iq the morning,
hut did not respond and could not lie
aroused. The jail officials were in
formed aqd sent ■ for a physician who
pronounced the man dead. Tlie un
dertaker was sent for. t ut was finally
not needed. v

I tel tie Chancey, an old white wuman
who live* near Athens, Ga., Is the
owner of an old mule uf the genuine
Georgia variety. A few days since
she went out to curry the animal,
Who*e hair had remained unclipped
for some time and was probably three
Inches long. While currying the old
mule she noticed that about half the
hair on his tail had been clipped off
close tq the skin. The mule kept
switching his tail towards his back as
if something bothered him. The old
woman began to make a close inspec-
tion.of the animal, and discovered the
trouble. A small rat has gnawed the
hair off tlie mule’s tail and had car
ried it on top of his back near the
hips. There Is a little hollow on the
mule's back; the industrious rat had
woven the hair into a neat nest and
was resting in the snug home pleas
antly and securely when the old wo
man ran him out.

being fixed to the lever. When it
