Since the capture of Aguinaldo,
the insurgent general, Anjoia, about
60 other officers and more than a
thousand men have surrendered, all

that the Filipino war is truly draw

Mossy Hill Notes.
BY SOCKS.
It is sunshine and smiles on the
Hill again. Farming has had a black
eye for some time, but now that the
weather has cleared up we will soon
be in trim again. Some farmers re
port poor stands of corn, but no one
has stopped to complain. Many are
planting cotton. The cotton acre
age w *11 not be increased here, but
there will be a mighty effort made
to increase the hog and hominy
crop^ The spring fishing season has
opened up on the Hill, and the pres
ident of the Henderson fishing club
was here last week with his pole,
looking for a hole to fish in.
Only a few citizens of the Hill
are attending court this week.
They have got all they can attend
to at home. We have just learned
by the arrival of “Steamer Africa,”
that Seab Lumpkin, a highly colored
sporting gentleman of the Hill, re
ceived a pistol shot on Saturday
night from a little gun in the hands
of Jim Taylor—cause “skin and
moonshine whisky.”—The many ac
quaintances of Seab in this section
are very uneasy for fear he will re
cover.
Rev. J. T. Mims and son wer^ on
the Hill Sunday with friends.
Mr. T. K. Till and lady of Macon,
were the guests of Mr. C. B. Till last
Sunday.
Mrs. C. B. Till after spending a
month in Cordele, has returned
home.
Messrs. Hardison, Irby, Jack and
Coleman Hodge passed over the Hill
yesterday afternoon to attend the
Easter exercises at Small Academy.
Mossy Hill, 4-8 : 1901.
Surely the report that Aguinaldo,
former chief of the Filipino insur
gents, is now a citizen of the United
States was not made by any one in
political sympathy with the present
administration. As the republican
policy has been proclaimed, the oath
of allegiance to the authority of this
country does not make a man a citi
zen. None of the Filipinos are more
than vassals, allies or agents, howev
er much the United States may con
trol their country,nor however much
they may serve this government.
We must believe that a delegate
to the recent Baptist convention at
Yaldosta was incorrectly reported
when he was quoted as saying that
“they” expected to nominate prohi
bition men tor the legislature
through the democratic primaries if
they could, but if not, they would
have prohibition Candidates in the
fibld anyhow. Such is independ-
entism, and that kind of politics will
not be endorsed by enough Georgia
voters to insure success.
Gov. Allen of Porto Rico is now
in the United .States, and is report
ed as saving that the island is pros-?
pering, withgro wing business. Oth
er reports from that Island tell ex
actly the reverse, and that thous
ands oJ4he natives and other inhab
itants are emigrating to Hawaii,
Cuba and other countries. These
reports say Gov. Allen is extremely
unpopular with the Porto Ricans.
