Things are moving rapidly when one
alarm calls out the fire department to
two fires.
The fight in Ohio between Senators j
Hanna and Foraker for control of the j
Republican machinery is of national
im nor tance because it is an open
secret that Foraker is backed by Presi?
dent Roosevelt, who will need the
Ohio delegation in the next national
convention and while Hanna remains
boss of Ohio Roosevelt is not certain
to have that State solidly for him.
Mr. D. C. Heyward, who was in tbe
city to attend the annual banquet of
Gamecock Lodge, K. of P., has many
friends in Saunter and he is the favor?
ite in the race fox Governor. He does
not visit Semter often enough to
please his friends, but when he moves
up to Coluaibia next Jaunary he will
not have diataace as an excuse for not
coming oftener.
A Ministerial Association is one
combination that the most violent
an ti-trust ?nd anti-combination man
cannot oppose. It is a union of bene?
ficent forc?is- for the good of the com?
munity aa? ?l all people. The Minis?
terial Association organised by the
pastors of t??' churches cf this city
has our freakiest best wishes and we
trust it vriii accomplish a great work
in Sumter.
If the railroads issue one secret cir- .
eular giving rates not authorized by
the Railroad Commission, as, for in?
stance, the' rate on acid phoshate, is
there not just ground for suspicion
that the often made charges of dis?
crimination, secret rates, rebates to
favored parties, etc., are probably
true. The Railroad Commission is a
most excellent institution and the
gentlemen who compose it doubtless
perform their duties as well as they
can, as well as draw their comfortable
salaries with regularity, but insofar
as resru?at?sg: or controlling: the rail?
roads it does not seem to be a perfect
success.
Emperor William for whom a yacht
is being built in this country may be
fixing himself to capture a cup from
the English to be a sort of America's
cup for Germany.
It may be only a coincidence, but it
is peculiar enough to attract atten- ,
tien, that the collapse of the Venznela ?
Asphalt Trust which was primarily
responsible for ali the recent troubles ,
in Venezuela is followed by the an?
nouncement, by cable, from President
Castro that the revolution has come
to an end. The Asphalt Trust was ,
bitterly antagonistic to President
Castro and the success of the revolu?
tion meant the overthrow of Castro,
bat revolutions cannot be carried on ,
without money, and as it has been
reported from the first that the i
Asphalt Trust was financing the
revolution it looks to wayfaring man
as if the two failures have some con?
nection.
Now that the free mail delivery sys?
tem is in sight for Sumter we should ?
begin working for an appropriation
for a postoffice building. In other '
States towns of far less importance
have had handsome postoffices erected
by tfee government and Sumter should
have one also. We believe in spend?
ing a few less millions annually on '
external expansion and benevolent as?
similation and more on internal im?
provements that will benefit those
who pay the taxes.
The Darlington News says scandals
are brewing in the dispensary and
warns everybody to look out. Why is
it necessary to give this warning?
Hasn't there been a scandal

ing for the future?
The negro building at the Charles- j

NEW SOVEBtiMEHT FOR PHILIPPINES
Temporary Measure to be Intro?
duced Giving President Control.
Washington, Jan. 6.-Senator Lodge,
chairman of the committee on the
Philippines, tomorrow will intro?
duce a bill for a temporary government
of the Philippines. This bill has been
drawn after the many consultations
with the war department officials who
have been directly interested in insul?
ar affairs and the government of the
Philippines. The bill will not be
made a part of the Philippine revenue
bill which bas passed the house, but
will be an independent measure. The
bill is entitled as one to "temporarily
provide for the administration of affairs
of civil government in the Philippine
islands and for other purposes. ' '
It does not attempt to establish a
new form of government in the Phil?
ippines, but simply begins by confirm?
ing the action of President McKinley
in creating a commission and ratify?
ing the acts of that commission under
the instructions of the president dated
April 7, lim.
The bill also gives the president au?
thority, while there is armed resist?
ance in any part of the islands to the
United States, to regulate and control
inter-island commerce.
Section 4, following the Puerto Rican
act gives the government of the Phil?
ippines power to improve the harbors
and other instruments of commerce,
and section 5, also following the
Puerto Rican act, turns over to the
government of the Philippines all
lands devoted now to public use,
bridges, highways, etc.
Under section 6 the goverrnment of
the Philippines is empowered to make
rules and regulations for the disposi?
tion of public lands other than timber
and mineral lands, such reuglations to
have the force and effect of law only
after they have been approved by the
president and congress. Then follows
a series of provisions to enable the
commission to perfect the title of per?
sons now occupying public lands and
to lease and sell lands to such persons
or gives to the occupants without com?
pensation. This is to provide for the
small native landholders who have
occupied public lands for a long time
but who have no title to protect them
in their holdings.
Then comes provisions in regard to
timber lands, which are not to be sold
or leased by the commission, w-ho have
power only to issue licenses to cut tim?
ber under the forestry regulations
now in force in the islands. Ihe pro?
visions in regard to timber lands are
followed by a number of sections as to
mineral lands. These are very elabo?
rate and embody the mineral laws con?
tained in the report of the commis?
sion and which have been prepared by
them with great care, so that they
shall be in harmony with the existing
Spanish laws. The mineral land sec?
tions cover also coal and saline lands.
One of the most important provisions
in tho bill is that empowering the
Philippine commission to purchase
the lands of gthe religious orders and
dispose of them on a proper system
to occupants.
Then come a series of sections au?
thorizing municipalities and the city
of Manila to borrow money and issue
bonds for municipal improvements.
There are two sections which provide
for the granting of franchises, so that
individuals or corporations can go into
the islands and construct electric and
steam railroads and engage in indus?
tries and manufactures. Provisions for
granting the franchises are guarded,
being based on the corporation laws
of Massachusetts.
There are provisions for establish?
ing a coinage system which already
have been presented in Special Agent
Conant's report and the final sections
of the bill make provisions for a bank?
ing system and enable national banks
of the United States to be established
in the Philir^pines.
"Hell and Who Will be There."
It is said that a loal preacher up in
Arkansas announced from his pul?
pit a few Sabbaths ago that on the
following Sabbath he would preach on
the subject of "Hell and Who Will Be
There." It is further said that on
the following day he received letters
from two saloon men, two butchers,
one groceryman, one icc man, two
local dealers, one baseball umpire and
forty-nine delinquent subscribers to
the local paper notifying him that if
he dared to mention their names in his
sermon they would withdraw their
support from his church and sue bim
for slander.

Buenos Ayres, January 4. -The dis?
pute with Chili is again aggravated,
owing to the alleged unfairness of the
Chilian diplomats during the negotia?
tions. The Argentine Government,
having exhausted all efforts for peace,
is now proposing to break off tne ne?
gotiations and to suspend diplomatic
relations with Chili. It has ordered
that the navy and army be placed on
a war footing. The people applaud the
attitude of the Government.
The Sick f?an of America.
As the Sultan is "the sick man of
Europe" so President Castro, of Ven?
ezuela, bids fair to become the sick
man of the Western hemisphere. At
all events, Castro is imitating the
Sultan in getting into debt, and in
inventing excuses for not paying.
Both are in such a position that the
payment of one debt, so far from
bringing relief, simply makes other
creditors more importunate.
Allusion has already been made in
these columns to the S10,000,000 rail?
road debt for which bonds were issued
in 1S96. The interest on this is two
or three years in arrear, and of course
there must ultimately be provisions
for paying the principal, though the
payment of the interest due is the
matter in which Castro is immediately
interested. Not all his, however, is
due to Germans, as about one-third of
the money was advanced by British
and French capitalists. The British
creditors are quite as anxious to be
paid as the Germans, and hopes are
expressed that Great Britain will take
steps to enforce payment.
But, Germany has also claims I
against^Venezuela for losses incurred
by German subjects as a result of the
civil wars in which Venezuela has in?
dulged. Civil war is a favorite diver?
sion in Spanish-American countries,
and is largely done on credit. Even
in this war, it is far from economical.
Military cheiftains are prompt in
levying, forced loans, and are not
scrupulous as to wehther the invol?
untary lenders are citizens or foreign?
ers. The career of the leader is' often
very short, but the country remains,
and is held responsible for what was
done during the strife. If the Govern?
ment de facto were not made responsi?
ble in such cases there would be no
redress, for a Government de jure is
altogether exceptional. Nevertheless,
when the bills come in the adventurer
in power thinks it very hard that he
should have to pay for the fun that
some other adventurer has had before
him.
There are other claims, however,
growing out of contracts entered into
by the Government of Venezuela with
German merchants for supplies for the
Government itself. Taken altoegther,
the sum demanded must be very con?
siderable and it is quite probable that
Castro has the ready money with
which to liquidate them. Meantime
he has a rebellion to cope with, which
may prove formidable enough to call
for his undivided attention and all the
material and finanrial resources which
he can command. It is intimated
that Germany may await the outcome
of the existing insurrection. In any
event Germany can only deal with the
Government in power at any particu?
lar time, and as reliance will be had
upon the revenues that may be request?
ed the personality of the men in power
is not so important. Castro's threats
to make a vigorous resistance can
hardly be taken very seriously, as his
ability to do so is very doubtful.
It is apparent that the patience of
Germany is quite worn out by the
policy of delay which Castro has
adopted. The example of France in
sending warships to Turkish waters
to enforce French demands is now
likely to be followed by Germany. So
far as may be judged from the indica?
tions this course will be generali}* ap?
proved by other countries, some of
which have claims of their own which
they desire to see paid. So long as
the Monroe doctrine is not violated
the Government of the United States
can afford to remain quiet, and of this
Germany has been advised. If the
Germans get their money or security
for its payment there are other nations
which will probably be pressing Vene?
zuela for settlement. Neither Castro
nor Abdul Hamid can fairly expect to
live for an indefinite time at the ex?
pense of the people of other countries.
-Courier-J ournal.
ireland's Industrial Revival.
A few days ago we reproduced- in
these columns the words of an Irish
member of parliament, detailing the
pathetic conditions existing among
the farmers in the west of Ireland.
He alleged that they were working on
farms too small and land too poor to
support them, and that all the best
land was owned by non-resident land?
lords, who used it for sheep and cattle
pasturage, and would not lease it to
tenant farmers ; that an organization
had been effected for the purpose of
forcing the lease of these lands, and
that there is every prospect of serious
times ahead in Ireland, two or three
Irish members having already been
put in prison.
As an offset to the foregoing gloomy
picture we quote from an article in the
January North American Review, en?
titled "Ireland's Industrial Revival,"
in which Mr. Michael J. Magee,
member of the Irish board of agricul?
ture, gives much interesting informa?
tion regarding the success of the move?
ment for the rehabilitation of the in?
dustries of the Emerald Isle which was
inaugurated a few years ago through
the patriotic elTorts of the Right
Hon. Horace Plunkett. The Irish
Agricultural Organization Society,
which was founded to introduce the
principles of organization and co-ope?
ration among Irish farmers, has now
nearly five hundred affiliated societies
established throughout Ireland, with
some 50,000 members, representing all
creeds and classes of the farming popu?
lation : and such an advance has been
made in agricultural methods that
Ireland has made substantial gains
upon her continental rivals for the
British market.
The creation of the state department
for agriculture and industries assured
to the movement the systematic aid
of the national government, and in the
existing situation Mr. Magee sees
proof that at no distant date, his native
country, with commerce increased,
industry revived and trade developed, j
will take her proper place in the mar
kets of the world. He says :
"A very important feature of the
work of the Irish Agiculiural Organi- '
zation society is the establishment of
agricultural banks on the plan first
introduced into Germany by Dr.
Raffeisen in 1849. The system of the
argicultural bank may be described
shortly as follows : A body of farmers
form themselves into a society, and,
on their joint security, borrow money
from the newly esab?shed department
of agriculture, or from some banking
company, at four or five per cent.
With the money thus secured, the
committee makes loans to approved
applicants at five or six per cent inter?
est for productive purposes only. Un?
til this system was introduced the
poor Irish farmer in need of a little
money was obliged to apply to some
'gombeen' man, as country money
lenders are called, or to some 'loan
bank' and almost invariably was
obliged to pay about thirty per cent
interest on the loan."-Augusta
Chronicle.
THE FIRE RECORD.
Home figures recently given out by
the Insurance Press have brought
thinking people to reflection. It is
shown that within the last twenty-five
years the fire losses in the United
States have exceeded S2,800,OOO,OOO and
of this immense total the year 1901
contributed losses aggregating over
3170,000,000. It is further stated in the
same publication that in this country
nearly 1,200 insurance companies, with
fully paid-up capital, not including
the mutual companies nor the so-call?
ed Fire Lloyds, have failed or gone out
of business to avoid inevitable bank?
ruptcy. But most of them have been
ruined by the losses incurred in the
conduct of their business.
This is a serious question for busi?
ness men to consider, and a serious
question, also, for law-makers to con?
sider. The fire insurance companies of
the -country are a national blessing,
and it would be national diasaster for
them ,to be bankrupted. It makes a
discreet man fairly tremble to think
of being without insurance upon his
property, and if there were no fire in?
surance companeis the fire fiend would
be a terror indeed. It is, therefore,
in the interest of the public that these
insurance companies be preserved, and
it is also to our interest that they do
not raise the rates.
To that end there should be thorough
sympathy and harmony of action be?
tween the law-makers, the city and
town authorities of the country and the
insurance companies. The law-makers
can do something at least toward re?
ducing what is called the morai risk.
The laws against incendiarism should
be severe and there should be a coro?
ner to investigate every fire that oc?
curs, especially under suspicious cir?
cumstances. The authorities in the
cities and towns can do much to re?
duce the risk by having rigid build?
ing regulation;-*, by requiring the com?
plete insulation of the electric wires
which are now run into almost every
town building, and especially by hav?
ing a good and efficient fire depart?
ment and a bountiful supply of water.
If all these things be done we shall
have fewer disastrous fires and the in?
surance companies will be able to make
a living without increasing their rates.
This is a very practical question and
it should be dealt with in a practical
manner.-Richmond Times.

The Texas Boil Weevil.
Galveston, Jan. 5.-From the re?
turns gathered and published by the
Galveston News, it is shown that 55
counties in Texas are more or less
affected by the boll weevii. Counties
of southern Texas being literally in?
fested while in north Texas they have
only appeared in isolated counties.
The great cotton producing counties
of the State were attacked last year
for the first time in a threatening
manner and there is great dread for
the future. River counties suffered
most and river farms appear to be at?
tacked. Wooded sections harbor wee?
vil in winter.
Taking the census figures of produc?
tions as a basis it is estimated that
the boll weevil destroyed cotton in the
several districts as follows:
Southwest Texas 100,000 bales: east
Texas 7,500: central Texas 45,(XX):
north Texas none: coast district 90,
000. Total 242.5(H) bales.
_ In 1899 and 1900 Texas produced
2,(55S,550 bales, according to the Uni?
ted States census of which 1,558,500,
or over half were grown in the coun?
ties now infested with weevil.
FACTS ABOUT COTTON.
Mr. Alfred B. Shepperson's "Cot?
ton Facts," edition of December, 1901,
is fell of interest for those engaged in
the cotton business. It continues to
the close of the cotton season of 1900
01 all the statistics contained in pre?
vious issues, while some of the figures
are brought to December, 1901.
Anyone desiring any information
concerning the growth or movement cf
the cotton crop can find thc fullest
and most authoritative information in
its pages. Mr. Shepperson thinks that
the agricutural department's estimate
of December 3rd was very inaccurate,
and that it is about one and one-fourth
million bales below the concensas of
opinion of the cotton exchanges of
the south. He argues that because of
an error over the weight of the bales
of the crop, the government's publish?
ed estimate of 9,674,000 bales was real?
ly 400,000 bales more than it should
have been on the basis of the govern?
ment's own system of estimate, and
that carrying out its own figures, the
government's estimate should have
been 10,282,700 bales, or one and one
fourth million bales less than the
average estimate.
"My own examination of the mat
ter, "says Mr. Shepperson, "gives me
the very decided opinion that the
commercial crop will not vary matrial
ly from 10,500,000 bales."
"Mr. Ellison's estimate," says
Mr. Sheppersrn, "indicates that
fully 10,700,000 bales of American cot?
ton will be used by the world's mills
this season, unless there should unex?
pectedly occur very extensive and
widespread depression in general busi?
ness here or in Europe. A demand for
cotton upon this scale would undoubt?
edly hold prices considerably above
the parity of 8 l-2c. in New York, and
should a recession occur on account of
increased acreage for the next crop, it
is unlikely that the decline would go
below 8c-Augusta Chronicle.
A Confession of Defeat.
The supporters of the ship subsidy
bill were unable to pass that measure
through the last congress, but were
confident that they would build up a
sentiment and accumulate sufficient
votes to insure the success of their
scheme in the congress that has re?
cently been organized.
The Journal has from time to time
called attention to the fact that the
ship subsidy bill was steadily losing
strength instead of gaining it.
Since the meeting of congress this
fact has become more evident. An
impartial view of the prospects of
this raid upon the treasury makes its
defeat seem very probable.
A member of the senate committee
on commerce, himself an ardent advo?
cate of the ship subsidy bill, is report?
ed to have admitted recently that the
measure cannot pass.
He is quoted as follows by one of
the most reliable of Washington cor?
respondents :
"Even if the bill were to pass the
senate it could not pass the house
with a majority of the Committee on
rules of that body opposed to it. Sen?
ators Hanna and Frye have -received
assurances that Speaker Henderson
will vote with the Democratic mem?
bers of the committee on rules against
anv proposition to frame a rule for
this bill."
This is a very reasonable assurance
cf the doom of the ship subsidy
scheme. The senate is known to be
very close on the bill with the chances
in favor of a majority against it.
The outlook for the bill is still less
favorable in the house.
It would require a very decided ma?
jority in favor of it to overcome the
determined oppositon of Speaker Hen?
derson. *
By his preferences for consideration
and" the assertion of his authority as
ex-officio chairman cf the committee
on. rules the speaker has always the
power to keep f rom consideration any
measure that is not backed by an over?
whelming majority of the house.
Those who know how stubborn
Speaker Henderson is do not doubt
that he will exercise his official influ?
ence and prerogatives to their fullest
extent against the ship subsidy grab.
Its advocates do not claim any
great majority for it in the house, and
the best informed of them practically
admit that they are making a hope?
less fight at least in the present con?
gress.
Senator Frye, one of the chief spons?
ors and dircetors of the measure,
hoped and doubtless expected to rally
recruits for it when he introduced a
substitute which eliminates some of
the provisions of the original bill that
had been most severely attacked, but
the principle of the proposed legisla?
tion is maintained in the diluted form,
and it has arrayed against it an antag?
onism both in the country at large
and in congress that will kill it, un?
less all signs fail.-Atlanta Jonurnal.

York, has been chosen by the Presi?
