Mr. C M. Prltchett, one time sngl neer with the D. A. Tompkins Com. pany, of this city. Is now in the gov ernment service In the 'Philippines bunding roads. The following is an extract from a private letter received byNa friend recently in which many interesting facts are given about, the Islands; . "1 suppose you have . never visited the Orient and consequent ly you have quit a treat In store for you. Most travelers I believe pronounce the Phlllpplnss as the most uninteresting Dart of the Ori ent, but you will find a great deal here to see and learn. - Most of the Americana hear the 'Csll ot the Ori ent.' when they go home, "Like the States, there is a great deal that is good and some that Is bad here. All yon" have to do IS fa look for it. Before you come over here you can read and hear anything you wish about the islands. "The women are usually scared to death about the lisards, the snakes and -the various insect. As a mat tor of fact you do not notice them any more than you do in the states. There is a little house lizard here very similar to the one the ladies used to chain about their necks. They are harmless and only catch mosqul toes aad spiders. If you wish to go out in the boques and look for them you will find a variety of lizards of all sites. I have seen the sguana four feet long and they are said to grow ten. They are very tiro id and run at the sight of a man. Snakes are some times killed here as long as thirty feet but I have never seen one more than two feet and 1 have been all over the province. -One, of my foremen reported having seen a large one's track several times near the moun tains but they are scarce. Spiders, roaches, etc., are about the seme as they are in the States. I was coming up from Manila one day on the train when it stopped at one Tf the little barrios and my window was Just opposite a tree. Beneath It were a dozen native children try ing to knock down a large spider which was Just Out of their reach. One of them handed me a stick and I knocked it down for them. The whole crowd dived for It like it was a piece of candy. One Of them picked It up In his hands and ran triumphantly with It. BIRDS DISAPPOINTING:. "I was very much disappointed In the birds here. I expected to see a great variety and an unlimited nam- ber. The lisardi are saia to r their deadly enemies and the natives destroy a great many of them. I have seen only a few with beautiful, rich plumage. One wears the na tional colors, red white and blue. It Is a variety of th kingfisher. An other is a rich yellow buff trimmed with black. There are several va rieties of game birds but the wild duck IS the most pienuiui. inr are a great many wild chickens in some sections. You never, see such a thing here as a nabblt or a squirrel. Deer, Wild hogs and musons or moun tain cats, are plentiful. In some of the provinces there are .quit a num ber of wild caraboa. Monkeys are plentiful. Tou can find them most anywhere. They aer quite destructive In some places. It certainly looks funny and Interest ing to see a large drove of them running around among the . trees. Quite a large number of them are caught and tamed as pets. The na tives catch them with coeoanuts. They cut a hole In the nut Just large enough for the monkey to get his foot In. When he gets his handfull of meat he will not turn It loose and is easily caught. I suppose you will think this a fairy tale, but It is a fact. Tou can buy me monaeys here, as many as you want for 50 cents In gold, each. DEER VERT PLENTIFUL. I went out on a deer hunt during the holidays with some of my friends, four of us altogether. ' We had a three-day hunt We killed six deer and a wild hog. The latter- attacked me after I had wounded him In some tall cogan grass and knocked me heels over head, gun and all. Fortunately It was a young one and hid no tusks. He gave me one small scratch on the shins. 1 picked up my carbine and blew the whole side of his head off. He weighed about 100 pounds and was one of the finest flavored animals I ever tasted. The deer were as P'"-H . ANOTHER RIDDLE fcEXSATlOW. tirul as raooits in your 01 mi country.

We had about 40 dogs and ii natives to do the driving, packing, etc. Caraboa hunting Is rather danger ous and the madam says I cant go. Quite a number of men have been killed at the sport.

Mr. Cllley signed a warrant and had Mr. Spencer placed In Jail 40 minutes. Mr. Cllley said he had Mr. Spencer arrested for his own protection. Mr Spencer claimed illegal arrest In a former trial the damages were placed at $800 and the Judge set the verdict aside as excessive damage. ... Apple Wine. Wllkesboro Chronicle.

Sometimes they have an hombre alttlag on the dyke with a guitar ta keep tlm for them. Every stalk of rice tn the islands la planted this way and you cannot convince them that It can be planted in any other way. , RICE CULTURE. "Most of the rice is planted in June. They sit down then and wait for it to get ripe. They harvest it in December and January. It la always harvested on share, usually one-tifth. Nearly wvery native in the country thinks It Is his religious duty to harvest rice and you can get very Jew of them to do anything else during the harvest season, despite the fact that he could earn twice as much at most anything else. Rice Is their staple food and they lay in their year a supply In this way with out cost. Meat of them are freal gamblers and when you pay them money they lose it on the next Bun day's cock tight Ouess they are wis hombreg after all, to cut rice. The whole family works "at H, Blf and little, old and young. They come into the rice field from all parts of the province and even other provinces. 'I see hundreds of them coming In on the boats every week. As the rice gets ripe most of It gets top- heavy and blows over. In the States this would be a calamity but here it la just what they are waiting for. If It does not blow over they sjo out and push It over with sticks. Then they go In with small scythe aoout six inches long and cut each stalk, one one at the time. This, Is bound in small bundles called manoios, Ave to cavan. They are all exactly tne same size. it is tnen maraeiauie as palal. Rice does not keep very well here when threshed out but it will keen Indefinitely as palal. Yeu can buy the palal after harvest sea son anywhere from on and a half to three peaes per cavan. in six montns you can thresh it out for 26 centavos imr cavan and aell ir lor SIX pesos. There are several large rice mms In the provirrceMit the natives do their own threshing. The palal Is put into a large trough, hewn out of . .

Usually four or Bv are pounding in the same through at on time. They keep pcrfeot tlm and the rhythm la somewhat similar to the steel drivers at a quarry.

This speech wss delivered to an audi ence of negroes which filled the grandstand, bleachers and a goodly portion of the groundn of the local baseball park, and what he said was received with marked approval. The afternoon of the city's distin guished guest was spent at the Coun try Club which not only afforded the opportunity for a select luncheon par ty In which Mr. Taft was also a par ticipant, but an opportunity for what will doubtless be the last game of golf Mr. Taft will Indulge In for many months. After his extended sea trips and a confinement on the Isth mus of Panama without exercise, the opportunity wss one most pleasing. Mrs. Taft took advantage of the op portunity to do some shopping during the day. The telegraphic correspondence be tween Mr. Taft and Senator Knox made public here to-day la regarded as making It clear that the disposition Of Congress to remove any constitu tional obstacles In the way of th ap pointment to a Cabinet position of the Pennsylvania Senator Is most desir able. THE TAFT -KNOX TELEGRAM'S. Senator Knox wired Judge Taft a follows: "A bill has been Introduced In the. Senat to remove the constitutional bar to my eligibility to the Cabinet by repealing the act providing lor an tncseas In salary for the Secretary of Btate. I am in no way promoting or ftlaving anything to do with the measure. "It Is a matter for you ss ths ap pointive power to first determine whether the proposed action is desir able or would be effective.

If you hav any rason for not approving what is being don It should be announced, otherwise an Injustice may b done whoever may . o r rwriY n appviiuvu. a . v. - Judge Taft to-day sent in reply the following: "I sincerely hope that the bill re pealing the Increase in salary for the Secretary of State will pass. I have no doubt that mat win remwo i th difficulties of the situation in th light of its purpose. I should regard your Ineligibility at this time as a great publo misfortune aad it would b a personal disappointment to mo too great for me to express. I hav telegraphed (senator ntus.

GOVERNOR SANDERS SPEAKS. fliwurnnr Sandsrs. responding to the toast "Louisiana," after extending a hearty welcome to Mr. Taft spoke In favor of the Federal government as suming tha maintenance of the levee system of the Mississippi river and some of It tributaries, in mis con- neotlon Governor Sanders said; -Th thouaht ha occurred to us that if it be right and Just, and w believe that It is, to use the revenues of the nation to, put water on ui arid lands of the West, why should not the same government use its r venues to ksep the waters of ths epntlnent . off of our already fertile and inhabited lands V Governor Sanders took up tne pos sibility of inimical legislation to the rtee and sugar Interests of the South and appealed to Mr. Taft to protect these Interests. He asked that thought bo riven us. the Americans wno ar engaged in this farming industry, and said that the eyes of tno who It In th seats of the mighty should rf nnon ua for awhile and not oe turned exclusively to these who loll beyond the seas." The reception to th President elect by the negroes of the city to day was marked by enthusiastic cor diality. Thousands of the members of that race assembled in the local baseball park, filling the grandstand bleachers and a large portion of the rronnda. Hundred of negro school children were banked on the benches. each bearing an American nag. Bongs Were sang and speeches made by members of the race and by Philip Werleln, of the Progressive Union, and Mayor Behrman. THE NEJjsttOES' EDUCATION. Mr. Taft declaring his desire to be "the president of all the people," and adding that he wanted to make a plain, common snse, non-political talk, told his hearers that their past history had been remarkable in show ing their capacity to develop; that their future depended not on emotion alism but upon Individual character building, which meant hard work and thrift To make themselves indispen sable to the people ot the commun ity in which they Jived waa, he de clared with emphasia, the only final solution of the problem which they faced. Pie ridiculed the Idea of trans porting the negro t any ether coun try, asking where was the place the 10 ioo.OOO members of that race now here could be place. Education. In Austria and rudlmental for the great masses and higher and special for th leaders, h advocated, but hi one em phatic and repeated incentive that Individual endeavor should be mad the governing rule of charac ter.

In Superior Court this morning Sallle Porter, a negro woman convicted yesterday of the murder of Bob Miller, another negro, on the streets of Ashevllle, waa sentenced to live years in the State prison. . The woman laughad when sentence was pronounced and after leaving the court room in the custody of a deputy sheriff laughed and talked with several of her friend and eald that ahe felt fine over the prospect of staying at the "pen" five years. Many of the negroes of Ashevllle were displeased wyh the Hght sen tence. The court room was packed With negroes when sentence waa pass ed and after leaving the room no few of the negroes expressed the opinion that the woman ought to be hanged. Sheriff Hunter will take the prisoner to Raleigh either to-morrow or Sun day. Th woman evidently has nerve. Whit frail and apparently delicate, sh seems unooncerned about a bullet that is embedded in her lung. She was a good shot, too, hitting Miller three times out of three shots and inflicting a mortal wound at each fire. SCHOOLMATE or VANCE DEAD. Dr. John J.
