of the general assembly began their

Hector McLean, of Richimond; introdu
ces a bill in the house to divide Rich
mond county, .the aower half Of whicii
shall be constituted Scotland county.
The proposed- county lhas a population
of 14,000, and Laurinburg will be the
county seat. The argument of Mr. Mc
lean is that Richmond county is eieven
ty miles (Pong and the county seat is to
one end, only six miles from Anson
ounty, that the population is larige and
reasisng.and it is very expend ve for
he peopie in the soutthern end to go to

Dewey Sends the Concord

Washington, Jan. 5. An toidication of
the seriousness of the situation in the
Philippines is given by the continued
reticence of the military authorities re
garding advices from General Otis.
Now that the pradamartlon has been
issued, the administration feels justified
in idealkig With Aguinaldo, in a positive
manner, but no definite steps wirl be
taken until Otis reports .the effect of the
proclamation on the Filipinos.
Ift weis aid this afternoon that Otis
had. been instructed to order General
Miller to lanld troops at IloiSlo and defend
htoiself if atiJacfced. This could not be

ordered. .
