'Under the Starry FIhjt,
Civilize Vm with a Kraic,
And return us to our own be
Joyed Home."
Thissayn oar our Washing:
ton correspondent, was the
sone the soldier used to
sing in the Philippines, nnd
(Jen. Wood seems to have ta
ken the advice to heart in
dealing with the Moros to
judge by the dispatch to the
State Department last week.
Six hored Moros, alleged to
be a band of outlaws, are re
ported to have been wiped
out to a man with smaller
but still considerable loss on
the American sidp. Whether
the annihilated hand were
merely cattle thieves or peo
ple with a deal of fancied
grievances will never he dell
nitely known for they are all
too dead to testify, and their
friends, if 1 hay have any will
paint them all as martyrs
and their enemies as the ex
act opposite, Gen. Wood,
who commanded at this
slaughter of the natives, re
ports that the whole of the
island of Jolo is quiet. It
very well might be after
that sort of a lesson, Possi
bly that way of dealing with
the natives mav be the most
Jjumane after all. They have
been used to a rule hereto
fore in which any display of
leniency was a sign of tiiuidi
ty, and possibly it may take
some harsh lessons to teach
them that the United States
is not as a whole that sort of
a country. It's rather hard
on the natives, but as Ionic
,hs we have the islands we w ill
have to handle them or else
they will very promptly han
die. us or at least such of us
as aceept the generous offer
of the government to go out
there and get shooting at
1 1 3 per mont h. The govern
inent. if it wants to adminis
ter a course of training of
training of this sort, is fortu
nate in having Gen. Wood
there. He is a gentleman
who does not "shun the gen
tie lime light nor shirk the
pubJic way. He is a' good
fighter, co one would deny
that, but rather prone to
fauot for trouble around the
corner instead of in e r e I y
meeting it half way. There
will be a lot of talk in C jn
gress ubont this last piece of
'brutality." It probably was
brutal and may or may not
have been necessary. But it
is fiafe to saj that any Con
gressional talk will end in
talk and in ten days the
mere fact that 600 Moros
have been permanently "pae
ifled" will have been forgot
ten in the hurry of more ur
gent and practical measures
before Congress.
A stronger reason t h n n
usual why the people ot t h e
South should desire that the
Democrats carry the next
House is that Speaker Can
non would be put down and
another less prejudi-ed a
Kainst this se-tion elected in
bis place. The present Speak
er has ever since it was
brought up in Congress, re
fused to allow the Appalachi
an forest reserve bill to be
considered in the Houseknow
jng that it would he immerli
iiy passed, as it bad nlrea
dy gone through the Senate
once or twice, The lst thingj

On the night ol the 6th our
friend ami ueigbbor, Joseph
Cook, lost bis dwelling by
tire with nearly all his valua
ble goods. Absolutely no
clothing was saved "except
what they wore at the time,
and nil bis provisions, indu
dingcorn, buckwheat, b aeon,
te., were destroyed. This is
a hard blow to the poor fel
low whom it seems the hand
of fate is indeed against, for
only a short time since he
lost his only horse and last
summer his only and splen
did milk cow was killed by
lightning.andif this were not
enough his grown daughter
who had been slightly sick
only a few hours, sprang up,
threw her arms around her
father's neck, and died at
once.
Does it not sepm that thin
poor fellow has beensoreli nf
flicted? Hut friends, m this
last affliction we can help
him. Put yourself in his place
without home, clothing,
provisions or money! Would
it not look dark indeed to
5011 a ad would you not be
thankful that . you lived in a
community where people
have, a fellow-feeling for a
brother in distress and would
you not tee sure that y o 11
would not be allowed to suf
fet in this land ot plenty, gen
erosity and Christianity?
Anything that you are wil
ling to give this family who
are in such sore distress can
be left at .!. M. Moretz's of
Boone, L. L. Critcher, of
Sands, or CM. Critcher, 01

is most convenient to , ion.
Or, ifjou wuntto send him
money (which I hope 'you
will do), h;s address is Jos.

That's what a prominent
druggist said of Scott's
Emulsion a short time
ago. As a rule we don't
use or refer to testimonials
in addressing the. public,
hut the above remark and
similar expressions are
made so often in connec
tion with Scott's Emulsion
that they are worthy of
occasional note. From
infancy to old age Scott's
Emulsion offers a reliable
means of . remedying im
proper and weak develop
ment, restoring lost flesh
and vitality, and repairing
waste. The action of
Scott's Emulsion . is no
more of a secret than the
composition of the Emul
sion itself. What it does
it does through nourish
ment the kind of nourish
ment that cannot be ob
tained in ordinary food.
No system is too weak or
delicate to retain Scott's
Emulsion and gather good
from it.

Lenoir Topic: Iii a short
talk preliminary to pronoun
cing ...sentence upon George
Franklin in Superior Court
last week, Jmlge C M. Cooke
spoke of the needof a State
Reformitory for lit -ye such as
Franklin. Heenil and all
his hearers agreed with him
"That it is a burning '.ut-
! rage and a disgrace to the
State of .North Carolina that
no provision is made for the
proper care of such 'youthful
offenders.": Punishing hoys
is one thing, saving them is
another, ai.d it hardly stands
to reason that b,oys who are
so unfortunate as to lay
themselves lialde to pnnish
nint will ever reform when
the courts are-, obliged by
law to semi them to a place
where thev are confined with
nil kinks of hardened crimi
nals.
Truth, every word of it.
and Judgs Cooke will hbye
a similar case before htm at
our nfxt eourt. A small boy,
Baldwin by name, locked up
io the county jail awaiting
judgment of the court under
the charge of an affray, is the
case jnquestion. A reformato
ry for such youthful offend-
eis is a crying need, as t h e
jail, the roads or the peniten
tiary only make hardened
criminals of them while n It".

Winston Sentinel: It is an
nounced that Burton Craige,
of S'-ilishury, has made a fi
nal settlement with W. N.
Coler & Sons, t he hondhol I
ersm the celebrated Wilkes
county bond suit, and today
went to Greensboro to file
his report, with the circuit
court o! th United States
for the fourth district. Na
timal interest attached to
the unit in which Wilkes and
Stan'ey counties repudiated
their bond issues. The H'ilkesi
papers were issued in 1889,
and not until' the spring ol
1904 was the question as to
their payment settled. The
amount of th interest that
llese ? 100,000 bonds have
brought is $62,075.44. The
principal has uot been paid

After Mr. Blackburn was re
ported as haying made i-har
ices against Judge Piitchnr,
the statement, was printed in
the Asheville Citizen that he
had expressed a desre to
have his case heard tielore
the distinguished jurist of
North Carolina. The Ga tte
News was not piepared to hc
cept tha without more or
less salt. On Saturday it tel
egraphed ' Judue Byniiin at
Greensboro a ad. asked if it
was Blackburn or Bvnum
who had made the request.
Judge By mini sent this reply:
"1 suggested to Judge Pritch
ard that we were anxious for
a trial, and would be glnd to
hayebim or any other fair
minded judge try the case. I
did this not at the rnpiet of
