The election of Robert O. Purdy of
. this city as judge of the Third Circuit
elevates to a position of honor and trust
a man who bas long had the entire con?
fidence arid esteem of the people of
Sumter County. Judge-elect Purdy
although a Carolinian only by adop?
tion, is as true a citizen and as loyal
a son of the Game Cock county and
the Palniefcto^Sfeate as if his sires for
generations had been bred on Caro?
lina soil. He has served the Demo?
cratic party- ably and well and his ser?
vices have been so freely and disinter?
estedly given that the people of this
county, as a testimonial of appreciation,
have stood' ready for a number of
years to give him any office that he
should ask of them. Now that, as
Judge, he will, enter a sphere of great?
er usefulness, -where a man of his
character and ability can be of large
service to the State, his friends in
Sumter are confident that he will win
for himself a position no less high in
the esteem of the people of other coun?
ties than he now so justly occupies at
home.
Gov. McSweeney disappointed his
enemies and gratified his friends by
vetoing the bill repealing the anti"
free pass law. He has acted^wisely ;
the reasons advanced in support of his
veto were so clearly stated and sound
and indisputable from every point of
view, that we marvel that any mem?
bers were found willing to go on rec?
ord as favoring the passage of the bill
over the veto.

The appropriation of S40,000 by Con?
gress for the entertainment of Prince
Henry of Prussia while he is in the
United States is just a little more than
a consistent democrat should stand
for. The Prince is as welcome a visit?
or as any other German gentlemen
who comes to our shores, but there is
no sense in . spending forty thousand
dollars; on him.
The National Government has spent
millions of dollars in building good
roads in Porto Rico, Cuba and the
Philippines within the past three
years, but whenever the question of
appropriating money for river and
harbor or road improvements is dis?
cussed in Congress there is an outcry
against extravagance, especially if any
large appropriation is asked for a
Southern river or harbor. It has
often been stated in Congress that the
National Government had no authori?
ty to expend money for road improve?
ment, yet money is poured out by the
million to build roads in possessions
beyond the seas. If one half the
money that has been spent on^ the
conduct of the Philippine war had
been devoted to the building of good
highways in the several State?, or on
the improvement of cur rivers and
harbors, tho country would have re?
ceive;! same benefit instead of having
nothing to show for the wasted hun?
dreds o? millions save the odium of
an infamous and brutally conducted
war. >

. New York. Jan. 20.-A firm market
'in Liverpool caused a slight advance
at the opening but without any in?
crease in tho demand, which was not
enthusiastic. After a <iaiet hour the
market broke quickly on the large esti
mate at Houston for tomorrow. Re?
ceipt; ai the semi-weekly interior
towns foreshadow a movement of over
70,0>'> bale-; au a inst 40,000 last year
and 6,000 ic tte bumper crop year.
The dec! ir. o was or. long selling, the
trade is so puzzled at the contrast be?
tween the mail advices reporting ex?
haustion and the enormous receipts at
the interior towns that they will not
sell short. It is thought the amount
ia sight this week will exceed last
season by nearly 4.000 bales. Every
one asks where does it come from if
prevailing crop estimates are correct.

MONOPOLIZING OCEAN TRAFFIC.
A Scheme to Control Traffic
Rates to be Advanced on al!
Merchandise.
London, Jan. 21.-A representative
of The Associated Press has secured
an authoritative statement regarding
the rumored shipping deals, which
while confuting the reports of the
amalgamation of several lines, reveals
the fact that neogtiations towards a
trade agreement are being conducted
on a larger scale than hitherto hinted
at. What has actually happened is
this:
Every line trading between England
and America, except one, has agreed
to form a freight combination upon a
basis considerably higher than the
rates at present in force. That one
exception, however,' threatens to upset
the prolonged negotiations, for today
15 firms withdrew their previous
assent, declaring that unless this one
exception came in the combine would
be valueless. The line which has
so disarranged the calculations, for
until today the success of the scheme
was believed to be practically assured,
is comparatively unimportant and
plies between London and the United
States.
The extent which the proposed com?
bination had attained can be judged
from the fact that- the 15 withdrawals
do not constitute 50 per cent, of the
firms interested. A representative of
one of the lines most intimately con?
cerned said that it looked today very
much as if the whole plan would fall
through, though he addmitted that
strenuous efforts would be adopted to
persuade the backsliders to come in
again and leave the unimportant ex?
ception to fight its own battle.
The reports of a financial amalgam?
ation between the White Star, Ameri?
can, Atlantic transport and other lines
are strenuously denied.
New England History.
In a speech in the Senate yesterday
Mr. Tillman, of South Carolina, made
an observation which will give griev?
ous offense to New England, and
doubtless provoke a crushing rejoin?
der from the Senators from that sec?
tion. Mr. Tillman, according to a
Washington dispatch, "spoke of the
achievements of the South Carolina
troops in the Revolutionary war, and
said that the battles fought in his
State were more important than those
fought in Massachusetts. "We don't
want Massachusetts to bag all of the
glory," he added, "for, as our illus?
trious Rear Admiral Schley has said
of a later triumph of our arms, there
is glory enough for all." It is re?
grettable that Mr. Tillman has been
led into this indiscreet utterance.
Upon the best "Massachusetts authori?
ty, it can be asserted that the Revolu?
tionary war was waged solely and ex?
clusively by the descendants of the
Pilgrim Fathers, despite all statements
co the contrary. George Washington,
the great soldier of the Revolution,
was not, as some ill-informed persons
assert, a Virginian of the cavalier
type, but a pure-blooded son of a
"Praise-God-Earebones" sire. Thom?
as Jefferson was of undiluted Puritan
ancestry, and the Declaration of In?
dependence was a rehash of the ex?
pressions of Boston tea-party patriots.
Massachusetts troops, alone and unas?
sisted, fought Burgoyne to a standstill
and compelled him to surrender. The
captured of Cornwallis at Yorktown,
Va., was a triumph of New England
valor and generalship, ' the French
allies of the Revolutionists bein?
merely spectators, who were permitted
to be present to see how Massachusetts
could humble "perfidious Albion."
Thc battles in the South were all
fought by New England warriors, the
natives coming upon the field after the
victories were won to congratulate the
lesions from Boston upon their invin?
cible courage. Some historians who
have not availed themselves o? the
only reliable source of information
have rashly asserted that John Paul
Jones, the dashing sea fighter, was
born in Scotland. Of course, this can
not be the fact. Jones' ancestors
came over on the Mayflower, and the
naval hero was born under the shadow
of the sacred codfish. In the second
war with England Massachusetts
maintained her supremacy. That cul?
tured Bostonian, Andrew Jackson,
was in command of the troops which
won the famous battle at New Or?
leans, while the glorious achievements
of our navy on the Great Lakes and
elsewhere must be fairly attributed to
New England. Mr. Tillman's friends
will be surprised to find that be is not
conversant with history as it is writ
ten in Boston. After the Senators
from that part, of the country have
finished with him he will be a wiser
andfa sadder man. Hejwill learn that
every great and good man who l?as had
a hand in making this republic was a
New Englander. South Carolinians,
Virginians and Pennsylvanians may
have made feeble efforts to be useful,
bal their labors were, of course, in :
vain. When Mr. Hoar turns his bat- !
teries upon .Mr. Tillman the latter will
discover just, how insignificant and
trivial a part everybody except the
Pilgrim Fathers played in j the de?
velopment of thc United States, lt is
impossible not to feel sorry for the
South Carolina Senator, for his mo?
tives were good, even if his discretion
was below par and his knowledge of
American history sadly inadequate.
Baltimore Sun.
Friars Versus Aguinaldo.
Washington, Jan. 18.-Secretary
Root was heard on the question of the
friar lands in the Philippines before
the House committee on insular
affairs today. He said these land?
holdings constituted one of the chief
causes of discontent among the people,
they were the hot-beds of insurrection
and had furnished Aguinaldo his chief
appeal to popular prejudice. The Sec?
retary said the religious orders so fully
recognized the bad condition of affairs
that they were disposed to sell out,
and he urged that the Government
should take advantage of the oppor?
tunity to remove the chief causes of
discontent in the islands. He did
not believe condemnation proceedings
would be necessary as there were indi?
cations that a fair price could be
agreed upon. A rough estimate of
the value of the lands, he said, was
from five to seven and one-half million
dollars, American money.
Secretary Root began his statement
by explaining the enormous power
which the religious orders had lung
exercised in the Philippines. They
were represented at Madrid and the
Archbishop was quite as powerful
as the Governor General of the
islands. The orders had largely sup?
planted the native priests. As a re?
sult of the great political power of
the orders the friars became the
medium of communication between the
local parishes and the central govern?
ments. They held large tracts of the
best land, amounting to about 400,000
acres at the time of American occupa?
tion. The people rented the lands and
thus a landlord and tenant system was
now in operation. This caused
incense hatred and Secretary Root said
the feeling of the tenant classes was
not equalled in bitterness by anything
in Ireland. Aguinaldo had taken
advantage of this intense feeling of
the tenants against the friar landlords
and the movement had become very
popular. ' The Secretary said that
about the most important thing to be
done at this time was to dispose of the
friar question, as it was felt that when
landed proprietorship was brought to
an end most of the agitation would be
disposed of.. The friars had been
driven from the land in many cases,
he said, and if they returned the peo?
ple would kill them. Appeals had
been made to the war department to
collect rents due. but the Secretary
said this could not be done without
the use of troops. Secretary Root
said that no religious question was
involved, as it was simply a condition
that existed and was fully recognized.
The friars themselves were so fully
alive to the conditions that they
would doubtless be ready to dispose
of their lands. At all events, Mr.
Root said, they were a part of an or?
ganization and he apprehended that
the disposition of the lands would be
determined by higher Church author?
ities than the friars themselves.
Government Crop Report.
The report of the statistician of the
Department of Agriculture appearing
at the close of last week was a disap?
pointment to the grain trade in that
final figures of yield were not forth?
coming, the curious explanation being
given that no further estimates of crop
yield or of the number of farm animals
will be forthcoming until the census
figures can be compared with the de-,
partaient returns. This seems hardly
wise or proper under present condi?
tions. One of the chief values asso?
ciated with government figures in past
years has been the regularity of their
appearance. As has already been
shown, this custom of regularity was
departed from in the changing cf the
date of collection of cotton-crop re?
ports. Whether this change accounts
for the variation between the govern?
ment and other estimates yet remains
to be settled. The hesitation shown
in the matter of grain statistics at
first sisrht would seem to indicate a
lack of confidence in department
figures which is depressing from the
standpoint of the statistician who is
interested in statistics in each and
every year of the decade and not
merely concerned with census returns.
Owing to its mixed character, the re?
port issued last week had little effect.
It showed the average yield per acre
of wheat in the United States in 1901
to have been 14.S bushels, as compared
with 12.3 bushels in 1900, 12.3 bush?
els in 1899, 15.3 bushelsjn 1898 and
13.3 bushels the mean of the averages
of the last ten years. This was con?
strued by some to indicate a total crop
of 675,000,000 bushels, as against the
659,000,000 bushels estimate made; upon
the earlier published condition figures.
The newly seeded area of winter
wheat is provisionally estimated at j
32,OCX),000 aces, an increase ol' 5.6 per
cent, upon the area estimated to have !
been sown in the fall of 1900. The j
newlv seeded ?area of winter rye is
j
provisionally estimated at 1,205,000;
acres, an increase of 2.9 per cent, upon
j the area estimated^to have been sown j
I in the fall of 1900. The department
has no reports as to the condition of;
winter wheat later thar. December 1.
At that date it was Si">.7 per cent. of
the normal, as compared with 1/7.1
p-rcent, in liKK>, 97:1 per cent, in
1899 and 92.6 per cent, in 1898. This
latter was regarded as a rather bullish ,
feature, offsetting the depressing fea- |
! tures conveyed in the figures of yield
per acre, but the main reason for the
January thaw in prices this week is to
bs found in the technical situation of
the market, which appears to be
overbought. It is to be noted that
the decline has made for a better out- j
look for export business, which was i
practically killed by the former high j
prices.-Bradstreet's.

An interesting Issue.
Columbia, Jan. 20.-Before the State
supreme court today a neat question
was argued. It seems that St. Phil?
ip's church in Charleston owns a par?
sonage on Glebe street. The rector,
wishing to reside in another portion of
the city, had the officers of the church
to rent the parsonage, and with the
rent pay the rent of the bouse he oc?
cupied. As the parsonage property
ranted well, the county auditor of
Charleston county placed it upon the
tax books and began to charge taxes
against it. Then the church authori?
ties came before the supreme coart on
mandamus proceedings to compel the
county auditor to withdraw the tax
charges. The case was argued yes?
terday by Mr. Bacot for tho church
and Assistant Attorney General Gun?
ter on behalf of the county auditor.
Of course the issue is over the right
of the church owners of the property
t3 use it for other than church pur?
poses.
THE STATE BUILDING.
Columbia, Jan. 20.-The commis?
sion in charge of the State building at
the Charleston exposition held an im?
portant meeting Monday evening.
Steps were taken to provide for the
immediate completion of the handsome
structure, so that all outstanding ex?
hibits may be be installed at once and
be ready for the visit of the general
assembly to the exposition on Febru?
ary 1. This meeting was made neces?
sary by the persistent delays of the
contractors in putting the finishing
touches to the structure.
A jury in the Supreme Court of New
York has rendered a verdict for 86,639
65 in favor of Prof. Rudolph Witthaus,
who sued the city to recover 86,180
for services in making a chemical
analysis of portions of the remains of
Henry Barnet, whose death figured in
the indictment and trial of Roland
B. Molineux. Prof. Witthaus said he
was 366 hours in making the analysis,
for which he charged ?15 per hour,
with*8250 for consultation and 8500 for
incidentals. The verdict rendered in?
cluded 8459 interest on the amount
sued for.

Civil ki Taft Back From Manila
HE MAKES A STATEMENT FOB
PUBLICATION.
Civil Government a Success-in?
surrection Nearly at an End.
San Francisco, Jan. 21.-Gov. Gen.
Taft, who arrived from Manila last
night, landed today. Discussing
conditions in the Philippines, Gov.
Taft said :
"I wish the press would correct the
impression that there is war on all the
islands. The insurrection is confined
to two localities-the province of
i-Batangas and the island of Samar.
This morning I received a most en?
couraging cablegram from Gen.
Wright, who is the acting governor in
1 my absence. It was said that owing
to Gen. Bells' strong repressiv-3 meas?
ures the trouble in Batanga wes being
quieted. He further said that 700
rifles had been surrendered and that
as there are only from 1,100 to 1,200
rifles in the province there is no
doubt that Batangas will be as peaceful
as any of the other provinces.
"I do not think Gen. Bell will have
to adopt the reconcentrado principle in
Batangas as his dispatch plainly indi?
cates that the province is in a fair way
of pacification.
"I wish to impress upon everybody
that civil government is a success.
There is a strong psace party in the
islands, and it is composed of the
most influential men among the Filip?
inos. They are working earnestly and
zealously toward bringing about hap?
py relations between their countrymen
and the government. They are doing
all that is in their power to bring in
the recalcitrant leaders. I have never
been so encouraged as to the prospects
of the Philippines as I have within the
past three months. There has certain?
ly been a great change in the senti?
ment of the people. They are begin?
ning to appreciate the fact that civil
government means better times for
them.
"There are 35 provinces capable of
government. The only place where
there is trouble is in the island of
Samar. That is the most difficult
island for military operations. There
are no roads and the troops have to
use water courses to follow the natives
to their fastnesses. But we are all
confident that it is only a question of
a short time when the island will be
pacified."
Gov. Taft will return to Manila
about March 1.

Biggest Yarn Ever Told.
From the Chicago Chronicle.
Los Angeles, Cal., January 16.
Jessie Wilson yesterday at Santa
Monica fished from the Pacific a bot?
tle containing a message which came
from Central Illinois, around Cape
Horn. The message was written by
Walter Roeder, of Bloomington, 111,
and, after being inclosed in a bottle,
was thrown into the Mackinaw River.
It is supposed to have worked its way
into the Atlantic Ocean via the Illi?
nois and Mississippi rivers and con?
tinued its wave-tossed journey until,
nearly two years after its start, it
bohbed up on the coast of Southern
California, 10,000 miles from home.
Mr. Roeder in answer to a telegram,
confirms the message as his own.
The editor of the Christian Advo?
cate (New York i relates in his paper
that cn one occasion, not long before
the firing on Fort Sumter, he spent
"some hours" in the Representatives
chamber in the Capitol at Washington,
"The majority of the members ap?
peared to be more or less intoxicated,"
he says. "Some of them were unable
to stand. Others were guying the
Speaker, Pennington, and in fact so
tortured him that worn cut, he left
the chair and put Schuyler Cofax in
his place, who stayed there many
hours. It was a night session."
