OXFORD PUBLIC LEDGER, FRIDAY, MAY 31, 1907. THE OXFORD PUBLIC LEDGER. BY JOHN T. BRITT. ONE YEAR $1.00 SIX MONTHS 50 Entered through Oxford, N. C, Post Office As mail matter of the second class. In accord ance with the Act of Congress, March 3, 1879. Every man gets mighty proud of his own voices when a clergyman goes wrong. A curious thing about even the tall est of men having his leg constantly pulled is that it tends to make him a little short. Gov. John Little, of Arkansas, who has been ill for sometime, is now in sane and there is said to be small chance of his recovery. A runior is current on the streets of Jt,aieign tnat t. s. Arendell proposes to be a candidate for Congress in that district, now represented by E. W. ..Pou. LETTER FROM MANILLA. The New York legislature has pass ed a bill giving women school teachers the same pay men get. Mayor Mc Clellan, of the city, had vetoed the measure. When the 118 saloons and distiller ies of Knoxville close up soon under the law voted recently, Asheville liquor men expect tot do business with the Tennessee city. Ex-Gov. Chas. B. Aycock will be Tetained by the state as one of a num ber of lawyers to appear for the state in the suit of the railroads to prevent the rate laws from going into effect. The majority of the Congressional Committee investigating the Browns ville affray refuses to go to Browns ville, as there was sufficient proof to show that negro troops shot up town. ? In the matter of establishing rural li braries, Wilkes county leads the whole state, having 73, and 23 more supple mentary, and the purpose is to have -one in every school district in the county. In a suit last week against the city of Newbern, a man named White se cured a verdict of $10,000 damages for injuries f sustained by falling ,-pver a door step that projected out into the sidewalk, when the electric lights, were not lighted. A man in Montana refuses to work, and has been sitting around wasting his time because he believes the world - was coming to an end May 13th. He will think 13 is unlucky when he goes "back to work and finds out that the grass continued to grow while he was idle. peaking of Supt. Joyner and his work, Hon. S. A. Mynders, Supt. of Education in Tennessee, says "Joyner has done more effective work for the progress of education than any other State Superintendent in the Union This fact is recognized by the State Superintendents of the entire South." Harvey Smiley was killed on the "Yakin railroad some months ago and his estate sued for $35,000 damage, In order to avoid the suit the South ern claimed that it did not own the road and the Yadkin railroad company said it didn't own it, and so plaintiff has asked that the road be placed in the hands of a receiver if nobody owns it, While the tax assessors are increas ing the valuation to what it ought to le, they will of course, pay heed to nu naerous discriminations wherein one man pays on a higher valuation than another does on like property, The assessment all over the state is too low hut there are some citizens everywhere who pay more than they ought to -when compared with others. Adam Frost, aged 127 years, is dead at his home at Cedar Springs, S. C, 4 .miles from Spartanburg. Frost was perhaps the oldest man in the United States, certainly the oldest man in South Carolina. According to a re cord written in an old, worn and faded hook by a man name Hunter, the old negro was bora on Sullivan's Island, off Charleston, S. C, in the year 1789. Adam was -formerly owned by the Draytons of Charleston, and later 'by the Frost family.

Editor Public .Ledger: It's a long call from Manila to Oxford, and the Ledger, which puts in its appearance at this port occasionally, is a welcome visitor from "over seas." The article in a recent issue which classed me with other Oxford boys who have achieved success out in the great world to the cred: ' " '-u "r na tive town, was, indeed, gratifying to my vanity; but I fear the word "achiev ed", in connection with success, hardly applies to me. I am still in the race, and no laurel wreath yet adorns my spacious brow. I trust, however, that I have, at least, reflected no discredit upon the dear old town to which my mind often reverts midst the isolation and strangeness of the "Far East." There are many Tar Heel out here, and I am glad to be able to report that they are doing well, as far as I know. H. P. Ivingsburg and William Las siter, both Oxford boys, are here; the former Colonel of the Eighth Cavalry, and the latter Major and Adjutant Cieneral of the Department of Luzon. I often see the Major and his charm ing wife, and have been the recipient of many courtesies at their hands. Willis Peace is up at Camp Stotsen berg, a first lieutenant of artillery. He has a very pretty and charming little wife, who but recently presented him with a bouncing baby, which, to the best of my recollection, is a girl. Mr. latum, the Electrician of the city of Manila, is a Durham boy. We have here a North Carolina society of thirty or forty members. The first squadron of the U. S. Asiatic .Fleet, composed of the West Virginia, Colo rado, Pennsylvania and Maryland, is now lying at anchor in the bay. Many of the officers are Tar Heels, especial ly aboard the Pennslyvania. I have received many courtesies trom them. They are all worthy representatives of the Old JNorth State. While we exiles miss home and the dear ones there, life here is not alto gether without its attractions and com . w . t peiisauuus. y e are just ending a season which, for charm of weather, is probably unsurpassed anywhere m the world. It is just about like the begin ning of fall at home. We have of course, longer spells of hot weather than you have in the States, but it is tempered by the sea breezes and the long rainy season. Three seasons are usually recogniz eda cold, a hot and a wet. The first extends fnW Jovember-o Feb ruary or March; ttie winds are North erly, and, though there is no need for fire, woolen garments can be worn with comfort in the mornings; the sky is for the most part clear and the at mosphere bracing. This is, of course, the most enjoyable period of the year. The hot season lasts from March to June, and the heat becomes very op pressive before the beginning of the southerly monsoon. Thunderstorms, often of violence, are of frequent occur rence in May and June. The wet season is usually ushered in by heavy rains. During July, August, Septem ber and October, the rains comes down in torrents, and large tracts of the lower country are flooded. However, I have never seen it as warm here as it sometimes gets at home. Manila, situated on the island of Luzon, is a most interesting city, with a cosmopolitan population of about dD0,U00. Here one rubs shoulders with men from India's coral strands and Africa's sunny shores, from every land and clime where man is wont to live. From an historic point of view no city in the world presents a greater or more varied assortment of interesting things; but - to appreciate them one must be able to look beneath the sur face with an observant eye, and a sym- paxueuc understanding. xiere are churches, convents, schools, 'and fortifi cations built long before the the North American continent was settled by the wnite man, or tne American govern ment came into being. These old churches, bearing the marks of time and hoary with age, speak pathetically of the centuries long gone by, and of the soldier and saint who sleep in un disturbed repose within their, sacred precincts. They are profoundly im pressive in the magnitude of their ex ternal proportions, and their interiors are splendid in their spaciousness, and the brilliancy of their decorations. Standing within their walls amidst "the dim religious light," which per vades, with a softness all its own, al tars, alcoves and lofty naves, there is a feeling akin to awe, and one seems to breathe the spirit of departed ages. inese churches, convents, hospitals and institutions of learning bear elo quent testimony to the courage, forti tude and sacrifice of those early mis sionaries of the Cross, who came to bring the glad tidings of salvation to this people. Whatever one's opinions of the Roman- Catholic Church, the beneficence and far reaching influence of its work here for good is bound to be conceded. It found these people heathen, it made them nominally Christians the only Christian people While it is un-! fortunately true that representatives oi the church here have at periods ap peared to forget their mission, and to lose sight of their high and holy call ing, nevertheless, the church remains an abiding influence for good, and of tremendous import in the lives of the people. Around the old city the walls stil stand, in a remarkable state of preser vation, as if defying the ravages of time and nature. Three . hundred years or more ago they were built to afford defense and protection against the incursions and attacks of Chinese and Moro pirates. If they could but speak, many are the tales of daring oeeos, and desperate attack and defense they might unfold, and how many the tragedies that lie buried in their dun geons keep. On that spot where once the political prisoner faced the Snail ish soldiery, and mingled his blood with the native land, the grass grows green, and we hear the voices of chil dren at their play, signifying that old thi ngs have passed away forever, and a new order of freedom and iustice reigneth here. Manila is situated up on a bay of tlje same name, circular in form and about thirty miles in diameter. The island of Corregidor, forming two nar row channels, guards the entrance to the bay. It was through one of these that Dewey came with his fleet under cover of darkness the night before the memorable morning on which he smashed the Spanish fleet, and devolv ed upon the United States the tremen dous responsibilities that confrpnt us here. The city is girted about by beau tiful range of mountains, which in the distance are not unlike the Blue Ridge in Virginia. A few miles to the south east of the city, and approached by the Pasig River is Laguna Lake, a magnificent body of water around whose shores are nestled many towns and hamlets. Here is located Los Banos, noted for the healing properties of its waters. One hundred and sev enty two miles north of Manila lies the fair Province of Benguet with CURES ALL SKIN TROUBLES.

During that : 1 ii 1 . period we nours or recreation are taken up with one continuous round of receptions, dances, and entertain ments. In the winter there are nearly always warships in the bay, either American or ioreign, and they add greatly to the pleasure or our social life by their magnificent entertain ments.

In the afternoon, when the arduous labors of the day are ended, one is sure to find congenial spirits there, not only in the company, but also in the "Scotch and Soda" a very necessary stimulant in this ener vating climate. In concluding my comments on Manila, I fain would quote the tribute of M. Mallat, a Frenchman who visit ed the Philippines many generations ago, and wrote much about them. "Enchanting city!" he exclaims: in thee are goodness, cordiality, a sweet, open, noble hospitality, the generosity wmcn mases our neighbor s house our own; in thee the difference of fortune and hierarchy disappears. Unknown to thee is etiquette. O Manila! a warm hearfcan never forget thv in habitants, whose memory will be eter nal for those who have known them."
