The State ruin mill com menced business here this morn ing and has been liberally patronized all day. The supply of booze was received on Thurs day and consisted of 208 packages—a carload. Your cor respondent has seen men drunk on the streets to-day whom he has known for years and never saw them under the influence of whiskey before. It is said that during the past few weeks the blind tigers have been entirely suppressed and the State bar room now has the whole field. Oft several occasions during the past year or so the writer has criticised the Charleston au thorities on account of their failure to suppress the tigers that are said to thrive in that city. Of course he knew that it was none of his business, but then people do not always attend strictly to their own affairs. Now that we have had a State rum mill installed In Yorkville, against the wishes of not less than 80 per cent of the property interests, he can understand why the proud, independent, liberty loving people of Charleston ignore this, the most infamous law ever enacted by a South Carolina Legislature. We were only familiar with that part of the law that gave us what a majority of the voters up to March 7, 1902, believed to be for Hie best interests of tbe community—prohibition -—and, therefore, were not in position to understand why Charleston, if aha wanted whiskey, should not .be satisfied to have it dealt out under the supervision of the State. The whole thing is clear now, and U Charleston prefers tiger to 8tate rum this writer has no farther criticism to make. feats ML WtknMtM Star.

GBATT SPRINGS. Property Divided by Eighteen— Sidney McAden 6t(i Buildings Veined at SIMM - Hellend Springs Bmprardod ier • Pair ol Bod Slippore—Tbo lb Heirs Get About 07*11 Each. Charlotte Observer. TBth Owing to the absence from town of Mr. H. C. Eccles, one of the two witnesses to the will of the late Mr. H. G, Springs, the will was not probated yes terday. Mr. Bedes it expected to return from Winston to-day and the will will probably be pro bated to-morrow. * • * The will is a short document, drawn by Col. H. C. Jones, and witnessed by Mr. Eccles and Mr. George W. Bryan. It gives $10, 000 to Holland Springs, a nephew of Mr. A. A. Springs, proprietor of the Arlington Hotel in this city. The only other legacy is the gift to Sidney McAden, the young son of Dr. J. H. McAden, of the Dancy property on North College street, which is valued et $6,000 or more, and the store on East Trade street now occu py bv L. W. Osborne & Son for which Mr. Soring* paid *ev eral yean ago, $8,700. The to tal value of the legacy to Sidney McAden is valued at about $15, 000. All his other property, both real and personal, Mr. Spring divided share and share a like, per capita and not per stirpes, among the children of his sister Mary who married William Little, of Gaston county, and the children of hi* brother Elias, of this coun ty. Mn. Little had six children; William Little, Mrs. Mary Earle, Mlse Maggie Little, Misa Sarah kittle, Min Alice Little, and a younger sister whose name could not be eecertaiued yesterday. All m live in or near Blacksburg. 8. C. Rlias Springs had 11 children. ^ wg°® *** helri except Charles Springe, of this city, '•T.bose nanie is not mentioned in the will. The others are Mr. J. C. Springs of this city whose name is not mentioned in the will. The others ere Mr. J. C. Springs, Mr. William Terrell Springs, Mr. J. M. Springs, of this city or county; Mrs. Peter Osborne, of this city; Mrs. Ver gie Montgomery who lives at the corner of Eighth end Graham streets; Mrs. Klua Roger*, of Mooresville, and Mr. Thomas Worth Springs, of Misaonri, and Mrs. Mary Rhyne aad Miaa Susan Spring*, who live near Mt. Holly. It la seen, then, that the estate with the exception of the lega cies, is divided equally among 16 persons, If the estate be worth $700,000 as is reckoned, the executors. Dr. McAden ana Mr. J. C. Springs, will receive 10 per cent, of that amount, or $70 000. The legacies valued a proxi mately at $25,000, will reduce the estate to $605,000, which, divided among the 16 heir*, will give each $37,811. Mr. Spring’s fondness for Sid ney McAden dtles from the boy’s infancy. Dr. McAden had one son named for Mr. Springs, but this child died when quite yonng, the death causing Mr. Springs the keenest sorrow of his life. Subsequently he made Sidney his protege, and the boy was the apple of bis eye. They were to gether a great deal, the very old man ana the child; and Mr. Spring* had as mneh confidence in Sidney as he had in any one in the world. Sidney collected his rents, made him little pres ent*, which be received with grim humor and appreciation; and Sidney crept noiselessly in to his room when he was ailing and dying, and always under stood bow to approach and please the old Roman. Down in the Merchants and Fanners’ Bank there is a red, gaudy pair of slippers, each of which bears the initials "H. G. S.,” worked in silver threads. These be $10,000 slipper*. One day as Mr. Springs sat in the Merchants ana Farmers’ Bank, there was handed him a package. He opened it and the slippers dropped ont. They had come from Holland Springs, a great nephew who is a private soldier in the Philippine Islands. They seemed to amuse the old man who gazed at them narrowly with an inscrutable smile on his face. -L*ocior," ne snia taming to Dr. McAden who was watching him; "do you reckon yon could get your feet in these things?” "Oh, I snppose so,” said Dr. McAden. " Well then take ’em," said Mr. Springs, "for I couldn't fit my big toe in either one.” But thought of the red lined slippers came to him when he was ready to dispose of $700,000 worth of property. Mr. Springs owned 24 honses. the Central Hotel annex, and other valuable property which has been mentioned in this paper and which is estimated to be worth $250,000. He never car ried a dollar of insurance, on any of his property. After his death Sunday night, Dr. J. H. McAden one ot the executors, at once felt the responsibility that rested upon him in supervising or assis ting in the management of such a vast and unprotected property, and yesterday morning when he came np town the first thing that he did was to consult Cob H. C. Jones and Mr. George B. Wilson, who had been Mr. Spring-i’ attorneys. They ad vised him to do what any pru dent man would do under the circumstances. "Then,” de clared Dr. McAden, "the build ings that belonged to Mr. Springs estate must be insured.” Before 12 o’clock yesterday three insur ance men, by hard work, had completed the papers that in sured all of the houses that are owned by the estate. Moat of Mr. Springs’ property rests in his strong box in the Partners’ Bank, and the con tents of this box no man knows accurately as yet. It is fnll of gilt edged securities. Here are reckoned to be over $175,000 in North Carolina non-taxable six per cent, bonds. These securi ties Mr. Springs prized more than any other, ana he bought them at every opportunity. The late 8. P. Alexander, who was ■bout the same age as Mr. Springs and who died two years ago also had large holdings in these bonds. When ne died and his North Carolina bonds were offered for sale Mr. Springs stood by and bought them under the hammer. The Watauga Democrat says that Mrs. Noah WinkieT. of Moody, woa in town Tues day, and had with her a few nioe, well preserved apples. They were from a limbertwig seedling, nice, smooth, and looked almost as fresh ns if they had {not been plucked from the tree. Bob Taylor Is expected to lecture la Rock Hill Jane 6th. hoab on msmmu. HI* Speech la (b* Senate an th* Philippine* — Vm Warmly Apptendng — Urged That th* United Stale* With, draw From the Island* and Permit the People Thera ta Erect Th*tr Owa Orreramsnt Ltk* Cabea*. WashiacCDo TMspatc*. 226. A notable contribution to the discussion of the Philippine question was made in the Senate to-day by Senator Hoar of Massachusetts. His views on the subject are well understood, but his expression of them to day was profoundly interesting and even impressive. When the venerable senator began to speak every senator at tbe capital was in his seat and for the two hours and a half his address consumed he eras accorded the most careful attention, not only by his colleagues on the door, but also by the people in the thronged galleries. Senator Hoar confined himself closely to his manuscript. He denounced the attitude of the government in the Philippines as one of the most wicked and foolish chapters in American history. He urged that the United States should withdraw from the islands and permit the people there to erect their own government as had been done in Cuba. He sharply arraigned Genera] Funston for the methods he pursued in the capture of Agutnaldo, and intimated strong ly that had the Senate been aware of the tecta Funston might not have been confirmed in his recent promotion. He hoped that, as the irrevocable steps had not been taken by the United States, better counsels yet would prevail and this gov ernment would leave tbe Philip pines. Spontaneous applause swcjn UVU IttC JCUKW IIW LUC galleries at the conclusion of the speech. Such a demonstration is very unusual on the floor of the Senate. So pronounced was it that the presiding officer called the attention of senators to the rale prohibiting any expressions of approval or disapproval. Senator Hoax maintained that this country is not at war. "You are fighting for sovereignty," he said. "You are fighting for the principle of eternal dominion over that people, and that is the only question in issue in the conflict." When it had been determined to resort to fotce in the Philippines, he said, the government took upon itself the natural consequences of that decision. The result of the con flict of arm* of such a character inevitably was that there would be cruelty on one side and re taliation by cruelty on the other: and the responsibility rested upon those who made Hie policy. He said that the share which it was proposed to give the Filipinos in the proposed scheme of government was an admission that many of them were fit for self-government. The United States was fighting to secure a dependency, not a republic, a government of our own making and not a government of the Filipinos’ making. Discussing the testimony taken by the Philippine Com mittee, Senator Hoar said it has contained some pregnant ad missions. What vindicates that which has been done so far is the saving the islands from anarchy, and the material benefit conferred upon the Philippine people. What the fathers of the republic said and our century of glorious history, were appealed to in vain. "Their lessons fell upon the ears of men dazzled by military glory and delirious with the lust of conquest.” He compared the situation in Cuba with that in the Phillip* pines and demanded to know which was the better. Senator Hoar recited a chapter of the history of this country, which, he said, showed that the present policy of the. govern* ment was in contradiction of the Monroe doctrine, ns It was a contradiction of the Declaration of Independence. He said that if the preeent way was followed, the Declaration of Independence would be repealed ana nothing would be left of the Monroe doc trine except the principle of brutal selfiahneae. This govern ment hod erected a republic in Cuba and a despotism in the Philippines. 8ix millions of treasure sod ten thousand Am erican lives have been sacrificed in that endeavor. In the Phil ippines the American flag had been made the emblem of sacri lege and of the burning of homes sad of the horror of the water torture. He believed that oar oficers were humans, bat in some cases they have carried on our warfare with a mixture of American ingenuity and Castil ian cruelties. "What have your ideals coat you?" inquired Mr. H°ar. "For the Philippine islands you have had to repeal the Declaration of Independence. For Cuba you have had to reaffirm itaud give it new Inatra. For the Philippine islands you have had to convert the Monroe doctrine into a doc trine of mere selfishness. For Cuba you have acted on it and vindicated it In Cuba you have the eternal gratitude of a free people. In the Philippine islands you have the hatred and sullen submission of a subjugated peo ple. Prom Cuba you nave brought borne nothing but glory. From the Philippines you have brought home nothing of glory." a ^CatoMM Mackerel. Mr. P. B.

Leas than half a dozen boats with seines cangfat on Monday and Monday night last over 20,000 pounds of these beautiful and delicious gamesters of the sea. A solid car-load, weighing 20,000 pounds, was shipped hr express to New York from Morehead yesterday. The old fishermen of this part of the coast, Mr. Arendell says, pronounced this the largest catch of Spanish mackerel in the history ofsouth era coast fishing. la This Mala a Ps«I ?
