TWO ARE FILIPINOS READY FOR SELF GOVERNMENT "Not Yet" Says Ons Whc Knows Them Wei!?Show Ability for Self Control LITTLE BROWN BROTHERS MAKE GREAT PROGRESS Have Never Lost Vision of Independence But Need Further Training. (Southern Missionary News Bureau.) "If the Philippines were granted independence, Japan would swallow tnein in a very short time," declared kev. Harry Farmer, L). D., when attending the recent Methodist General Comerence at Saratoga Springs. l)r. Farmer has been in the Philip pines as a missionary ana editor since 11)04, traveling over the country widely and regularly. He discussed the whole situation clearly. "Do the Filipinos want independence ?" "For 300 years under Spanish oppression they dreamed of a Republic. Tney never pictured a future in any other frame. They have never lost the vision of independence?" "Have they shown marked development?" "When I went to the Philippines in 1904, the people could sneak onl\ two or three phrases in English. Now nearly every one can carry on an English conversation. Our church paper was formerly printed in the Philippine language; now it is issued in English. The splendid school system, inaugurated by the United Slates, has veined the islands and is carrying strength everywhere. In all regions they have grade, high, industrial and agricultural schools, which lead up to the University of Manila, which is not excelled in America. In addition, the government struts annually live nunured picked youth students to this country, and as many more come on their own account. One result is the best hospital in the Orient, where from twenty to thirty American-trained surgeons perform operations with completest skill." "Have the savage tribes also developed ?" "It is possible to travel anywhere now in the islands. That was not true five years ago. Two things have helped to bring this about, Mrs. Kelly^ an American woman, went among the Ingorots with her husband, miner. She was a cultured and skilled teachei, and opened the first school among the savages, on her own account. Her work leavened the whole people. Soon the government adopted her school, and started similai ones among the Ifugaos, Lukidiies, Moros and others. In all cases they were successful. "The officials next utilized the war like spirit of these wild tribes by organizing them into a native constabulary to keep order. Then roads were built into every part of the islands, and travelers brought a civilizing influence to the people." "Do the Filipinos show ability for -self-government ?" "In a very marked degree. In 1901, Mr. Taft visited many places and nearly always inaugurated a city government with a Mayor and a Council. Soon after this, the province was organized with a Governor, ar. associate and a treasurer as the governing body. The first two were elected, the latter appointed. Then came the Lower National House and the four natives associated with the Five Committees in the Higher House. The Jones . Bill is a very wise measure, since it adds self-control, making only the Governor and Vice as appointive. At every step ! forward the people meet their responsibilities with fullest ability." "What would you propose for the islands?" ' ? "Thftir will 1? ?A- ?- - 1 i * "vjr mu nut uc &anau^(i iu IK.'- | come a mere State in the Union. They most look ahead to independence. It might do to fix a time fnr independence about twenty-five years ahead By that time the American schooltrained youth will be in power, and they will more promptly see the wisest solution. "What are the religious conditions?" ! "The Roman Catholics are rapidly recovering the land they sold to the United States. But less than onehalf the people are good Catholics. i STATKITEMS oE INTEREST TO ALL SOUTH CAROLINA PEOPLE The four divisions ot the South Carolina naval militia left Charleston on the Atlantic Coast Line railway Friday faternoon for Philadelphyx, where they will embark on the battle ship Illinois. When the First regiment is ordered by the war department, should the outer eventually be received, the organization will move with speed and precision. Rainfall during June averaged somewhat above normal and was well distributed as to area, but the amounts ranged from abnormally high to abnormally low over various portions of this section. Governor Manning has appointed J. Roy Pennel, of Helton, as captain of Co., A. engineers, which has been named by the members of the organization "Johnson's Engineers." The cottony cushion scale, which has been destroying Charleston's ar-! boreal decorations is being fast de-! feated in the ravage by the Australian lady bird beetle. 1 In the past month 35 engines have passed through Charleston on the way to Cuba over the Atlantic Coast Line. The engines are of medium size known as "28" superheated locomotives . They are manufactured by I the American Locomotive Works.

He leaves a wife, two sons, four daughters and four sisters and a host of friends to mourn their loss. He was laid away to await the resurrection morn at Pleasant j Meadow Cemetery on the following ] day. His funeral services was conducted by the Rev. P. B. Coats. He was born in Columbus County, North Carolina and was a Confederate Veteran and served four long years in the war between the States. About forty years ago he moved to the Pinklea section of Horry County and lived there until his death. Gone beyond the midst of shadows, Gone where trials all are over, Gone where sin can never enter, Gone on to the Golden Shore. \ A precious one from earth is gone, A voice we loved is stilled, A place is vacant in the home Which never can be filled.
