King, A Former Daltonian, Writes from the Phillippines. 1 To The Argus: 110-110, P. I. June 1, ’99.—ln re [ gponse to inquiries from your sec i tion of the country, I have written i to private parties in regard to the [ Philippines as I have seen them, and ' thinking perhaps there are others ! that would be interested, I will un i dertake to give your valuable paper 1 some items of probable interest to ! its readers. The Philippines are a group of Is -1 lands lying off the coast of Asia, and ! are some 1,200 in number, of more or less area. Quite a number are densely inhabited, fertile and rich in mineral resources, while others are of volcanic origin, unin habitated and barren. Luzon and Mindanas are the largest of the group and are said by those who have investigated to be possessed of fine natural resources. Hardwoods, bamboo, cocoa, gold and coal are among the resources of the islands, while rice, Indian corn, tobacco, sugar and hemp are raised in abundance. The manual labor is performed by natives and Chinamen for the most part, who work with a great deal ot chatter, and often with very primi tive tools. Where the proper tool is lacking, the substitute is sometimes very ingenius. It is to be hoped that the advent of American enter prise will in time change the slow and cumbersome processes of the present. Lumber is sawed by hand as our forefathers did in the early days of our country’s history, only the saw is run from side to side in stead of up and down. The logs are sawed or cut in the woods, hewn square, one end brought to the shape of a sledge runner, a hole bored in the same and draggedf or snaked, as the American lumbermen would call it) to a running stream, where they are floated to the place desired. They are then loaded on bull carts, or carried on the shoulders of men by means of slings, to the place where they are to be used. If a house is to be built, they are carried to the spot and there the hill of lum ber is sawed. It takes a long time to build a house of any kind in this country, the workmen are so slow, and if a house is to be of any pre tensions whatever, a great deal of fancy work is to be done, by hand at that. They are nearly all two stories —the first story being built of con crete or rubble and the second story is of wood—l am speaking of the bet ter class of houses. The native huts are mostly built of bamboo, and cov ered with a species of palm leaf. Ordinarily the sides are composed of the same material. Very often these are not bad looking. A flat trans parent shell is used in the place of glass, which serves the double pur pose of letting in light and keeping out the blinding glare of this tropi cal sun. Space and time forbids a detailed account of any one thing, so we will hurry on to the considera tion of other matters. Hemp is one of the most important products of the island, and from it is made tlie celebrated Manila rope and cordage. 1 cannot write intelligently as to its preparation for market, but Ido know that the industry gives employment to a large number of people. Rice is raised by the natives, mostly for their own use, yet a great deal is placed on the market. The natives live on it to a great extent, and their favorite method of cooking it is to fry it in cocoanut oil. The rice Helds, or paddies, have been a thorn in the flesh of the American soldier in this country. Tobacco is raised and manufac tured into cigars, smoking tobacco and cigarettes. It is not as strong as our American tobacco, but makes a very good cigar or cigarette, which are very cheap here. The cigarette, or cigarillo, is the stronger, and bears evidence of being doctored. All the natives smoke—men, women and children. They do not chew to bacco, however, but chew a kind of nut that is, if anything, filthier than tobacco. The Chinamen smoke opium in addition to tobacco. Sugarcane is grown in great quan tities, and sugar is one of the lead ing products. Its manufacture is carried on in some places in a very primitive manner, and if some of our American housekeepers could see the manner in which it is pro duced from the cane and prepared for market, they would not like sugar so well afterward. However, in some places the manufacture is carried on in a more modern manner —machinery being used as in the states. Mahogony, rosewood, ebony, cocoa and other fine hardwoods are com mon, and the trees grow to an enor mous size. I saw a boat a few days since that was “dug out” of a single tree that was about fifty feet long and four feet wide. Cocoanuts, bananas, mangoes and other trop ical fruits grow in abundance. Gold is found in some of the islands, es pecially Luzon. Coal is mined in some other places by very primitive methods. The population of these islands is a very mixed one, and consists mainly of natives, the supposed ab originees, a portion of whom are wild and wear no clothing. They are armed with bows, spears and long knives. Then there is a mixture of native and Malay, who have all the features of the negro with very few of his habits. tn the towns the natives are mixed with the Chinese, and their color is a dark yellow. There is a cross with the Spanish also, the color of which is a light yel low, or nearly white, and this class, the women especially, makes up the native beauty. The population is divided into many tribes, and tne different islands and some parts of the same island speak a different language. There are some ten or twelve different languages spoken on the islands now. Besides the native population, English, German and Spanish as well as other nation alities help to make up the sum total. There are a few Americans outside the army as well. The natives are small of stature about the color of dark inahogony. As we have said before they are mixed,especially in the towns, which has brightened the color. In the towns and cities they are found in all branches of trade, and in the country the better class devote them selves to agriculture mainly. They till the ground with the caribou (or water buffalo) using an old fashioned plow with only one handle and stir ing the soil about two inches deep. The ground is so fertile, however, that it does not take much prepara tion for a crop. As a rule the native mechanics are very good workmen, but very slow. Competition in trading and mer cantile world is divided of course. The English and Germans seems to hold the balance of power in this di rection. The Spanish seems to have played a very small part aside from military matters. They have accu pied the islands for many years and the priesthood has held undisputed way. The dress in this country is not a matter of abundance. White is worn almost exclusively by the better class and foreigners. The lower classes wear practically nothing and the savages only what nature gave them. Some of the natives are very treach erous as the Americans have found to their cost. As we have said before the labor is performed by hand almost exclu sively and is very cheap. Very lit tle machinery is used. The natives and Chinamen perform the most la borious tasks in a very slow and methodical way, very often holding their work with their toes. What effect the introduction of American ideas and machinery will have upon the labor of the country remains to be seen. But one thing is certain, and that is if the United States holds these islands machinery will be in troduced for American push will never put up with the present way of doing things. The natives ara quick to learn and as they work very cheap this alone may cut a large figure in the future. The laboring class know nothing of course about organized labor, and as they have been under Spanish and priestly rule so long it will be some time before they fall in fully with modern Amer ica n methods. We have tried, gentle reader, to give you a brief outline of these is lands as we know them, or them, or from good authority. We might give statistics but they would be in teresting to but few. Neither have we dwelt upon our regiment's mili tary exploits or travels. There are many Georgia boys in our regiment Bt Careful No woman can be too careful of her condition during the period be fore her little ones are born. Neglect or improper treatment then endan gers her life and that of the child. It lies with her whether she shall suffer unnecessarily, or whether the ordeal shall be made comparatively easy. She had better do nothing than do something wrong. MOTHER'S FRIEND is the one and the only preparation that is safe to use. It is a liniment that penetrates from the outside. External applications are eternally right. Internal medicines are radi cally wrong. They are more than humbugs—they endanger life. Mother's Friend helps the muscles to relax and expand naturally—re lieves morning sickness—removes the cause of nervousness and head ache— prevents hard and rising breasts—shortens labor and lessens the pains—and helps the patient to rapid recovery.
