GOTERNMEXT FOR THE ISLANDS.
President McKinley, it is said,
has matured the following gen
eral outlines for the government
of our new territorial acquisi
tion s, annexes and proteges :
"In the Philippines Civil gov
ernment by three commissioners
to supplant military rule immed
iately after the rebellion is
crushed.
' 'In Cuba. Continued military
control until it is determined by
means of a general election
whether the inhabitants want in
dependence or. annexation. If
independence, the new govern
ment elected will be recognized
by the United States, and will be
given encouragement and every
opportunity to astablish its sta
bility. If annexation the Presi
dent will be governed by the
sentiment of American citizens
as U may then exist. ,
"In Puerto Rico Civil govern
ment of -he territorial form,
similar to that which prevails in
Arizona.
"In Hawaii-Territorial form of
government, as recommended by
the Hawaiian commission, and as
provided for in a measure now
pending in Congress."
It may be retorted that that
Philippine chick has not been
altogether hatched yet but it is
legitimate to have the coop
ready in anticipation.
CREDIT DUE THE GOAT.
A correspondent to the News
and Currier from James Islands
imparts the information that
flocks of sheep are protected
from dogs by having one or more
billy goats among them. It is
known that Billy always has his
brow bared for business and this
- - . . - -
. correspondent says that the
sheep soon learn to run to them
for protection. It's a merit of
the billy goat that it seems should
have been set to'his credit long
ago.
The Philadelphia Times thinks
very little of the talk of organ
ized boycotts for the French Ex
position but feels that it will be
a failure because the world feels
very little security in or for the
French nation. It regards France
as a smouldering volcano that
would be liable to eruption at
that great gathering if not before
and without organized boycott
hundreds of thousands of people
- who had intended to go to the
v exposition will lack the enthusi
asm to go. This seems about the
size ( of the matter and as the
Tmies says, it is due to none but
the French nation her self if the
Paris Exposition of 1900 be not
a success.

Mrs. Lanier's Epitaph of Winnie Dayis.
The Winnie Davis monument
invites those Chapters of the
Daughters of the Confederacy
that contribute to this fund to
prepare inscriptions for the mon
ument. The Statesville Chapter
was thus invited and it assigned
the task to Mrs, Sallie Lanier,
the author of that beautif ul'poem
on the return of our soldier boys
fronf Cuba. She wrote the fW:
lowing too and received from
Mrs. Davis grateful acknowledge
ments :
" 'Blessed are the pure in heart
for they shall see God.
"Not the valley-lily, bending
upon its breeze-blown stem;
"Not the uniiielting snow
wreath upon the highest Alpine
peak, could be a more perfect
type of purity than she who lies
beneath this stone. She, pur
Eride, our darling, our flower of
outhern womanhood. ourDaugh
ter, born of our love, flesh of our
flesh! 'Eye hath not seen, ear
hath not heard, neither hath, it
entered into the heart of man to
conceive the things she behold
eth; butwe know that she doth
'see God.'
POETICAL INSCRIPTION.
Whence that sound of muffled
wailing,
Of a people in its woe ?
By Potomac's laughing waters,
By Suwanee's silvery flow?
'Tis our Southern Rachel weeping
For her Daughter, dearest, but
Lying, robed in white and smiling,
Hushed in perfect dreamless
rest.
"Come, oh, Daughters! bring
your flowers,
On her pulseless breast to lie!"
Lo ! we bring our love, our sor
row, Fadeless blooms that cannot
die!
Mrs. Davis note reads as fol
lows :

"My Dear Mrs. Lanier:
"How can Tthank you for your
exquisite tribute to my darling ?
The verses are beautiful and
moved me to my heart's core,
but the prose tribute, though
less studied, is one-1 should be
glad to have on my daughter's
tomfr I . knew., you had given
your deepest sympathy and: saw
you had nobly expressed it. To
quote the Scriptures, your words
are 'Apples of gold in pictures
of silver,' and I saw how justly
our 'Daughters of the Confeder
acy' had gauged , the capacity of
at least one of their number when
they delegated you to give' their
feelings voice. r
"Believe me very grateful for
your tender, appreciative words.
I will send the epitaph to the
proper person in Richmond, to
whom it must be . referred there
for acceptance. Thanking you
again, in am cordially,
. 4fYours,
' "V. Jefferson Davis."
The. inscriptions sent in will
pass before this committee and
from a limited selection Mrs.
Davis will make a final selection.
A MOTHER TELLS HOW SHE
SAYED DAUGHTERS LIFE.
I am the mother of eight child
ren and have had a great deal of
experience with medicines. Last
summer my little daughter, had
the dysentery in its worst form.
We thought she would die. I
tried everything I could think of:
I saw by an advertisement in our
paper that Chaniberlaiii's colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
was highly recommended and
sent aud got a bottle at once. It
proved to be one of the very best
medicines we ever had' m tfle
house. It saved my little daught
er's life. I am anxious for every
mother to know what an excellent
medicine it is. Had known it at
first it would have saved me a
great deal of auxietv and my
little daughter much euffering.
Youis truly, Mrs. Geo. F. Bur-
dick, Liberty, K. I. For Sale by

The PpiSneBeef ": !
The Progressive Farnier says
its Philippine correspondent
furnishes the following interest
ing description of a honeybee
found there: t r . - s j
"It is the giant honey bee,
known to science : as Apris
Dousata. Its. immense capacity
for making hoiiey. and ...war. has
ihterested.;nien? of Vscieriee - here
and an" early; eflrt oiiId le
made by j; tfyf Pepartmeht of
Agriculture! to introduce it into
the United Sfetesr;: . :
. ' 'It is . nearly one-half larger
than the American "native bee
and builds a comb,, heavy with
waxand hoheyi five Or six times
as. large as
American orchards and5 forests.
"They are f oiind in the Moun
tain regions, all through India
and have been seen busily? at
work at altitudes' of 5,000 feet in
the Philippine Islands.- Their
colonies are most numerous in
the mountains, as r the unceasing
quest of the natives for their
honey combs has driven them
from the unprotected flatlands of
the coast to the less thickly in
habited and more heavily wood
ed mountain regions. . The Fili
pinos find their daily bread
a rather easy proposition, but
they are very fond of honey on
the staff of life. There is also
a large demand for the wax for
use in dyeing.
1 'The big bees build their hives
on tall forest trees or on the
overhanging ledges of cliffs.
When undisturbed, branch
swarms build near the parent
colony, so that4n a few years an
immense bee settlement often
grows up in Hhe 'forest. The
bees build a comb five or six feet
long, four feet wide and, from
seven-eights to one and one half
inches in thickness. - :
"In appearance the giant bee
is a smoky, glittering, irridescent
black : ; wasp-like figure, : with
orange bapds encircling its oody. "
