At 8 o’clock in the afternoon the gun boats skirting Talltn Island headed aoath- west, deceiving the Calambans Into be lieving that they were Intending to at tack Santa Cruz. Suddenly, how ew , they ran the cavalry and the menot the Twenty- first Infantry ashore a mile north of Calam- ba. A twelve-foot rise of the lake had flooded the insurgents’ trenches, hence there was no opposition on the part of tbe enemy until the cavalry were at the river. Tbe Insurgents then fired volleys at the Americans. Captain McGrath and Lieu tenants Bates and ewau secured a casoo, on which they ferried the cavalrymen across the river. ^ ^ The cavalry then advanced upon tne town, while tbe Twenty-first detacbmeDt plunged through the marshes and circled tho foothills to the west, preventing a re treat of the enemy on three sides. They then swung to the southeast, flanking the enemy, who retired into tha town, where, after fighting in the streets, they escaped south to Santa Tomas. The Washington troops, under tbe cover of the Napldan s six-pounders, landed In water neck d e ^ and got stuck In the marshes to the soutn, consequently they were unable to co-oper ate with the other troops. A hundred non-combatants in carriages drawn by ball teams escaped to the south unmolested. Tbe enemy removed about twenty-five of their killed and wounded, and also took with them forty Spanish prisoners. Thirty of the prisoners, Includ- iDg live women, were rescued by the Ameri cans and conveyed to Manila.

Attempt to Dreii the Silly Doctrine ot CobdenUin So « • to Deceive the *ert- cnltoTSl »nJ Indn.trlnl Predacer* of the United Stafei. The American Econom ist criticises tUe action of the New EngU ud Tree T rade Leagao in offering a series of prices for essays ou tho subject of “ W hom Does Protection Protect?” obBsrves the San Francisco Clironiole. The purpose of the league, our con tem porary declares, is to create the im pression that protection benefits the few at the expense of the many. I t seeks to do this by appealing to the consum er, who is insidiously taught to believe that cheapness is of m ore benefit to him than the preservation of au economic system w*hich elevates to the first place the idea of keeping up the standard of living ot th e pro- duoing classes. The Free Trado League is w asting good money in its efforts to convince a thinking people that tem porary cheapness is a thing w orth striving after. The American people have learned by experience that there is no real cheapness excepting that w hich results from the developm ent of do m estic industries. No country on the globe whoso people are content to re main dependent upon other nations for their supplies of m anufactured articles ever succeeds in securing them cheaply. This is proved by the fact that only those countries which have a dom estic j;ianufactaring industry are able to consume m anufactured arti cles in any quantity. Cheapness is a relative term . The country that is able to-day to under sell all rivals may a year or two hence be at a hopeless disadvantage. Tw enty years ago G reat Britain was suprem e in the iron market. She could produce iron and steel, and the m achinery made of them , at a less cost than the people of any other nation. Because she was able to do this the free traders declared that it was an economic m istake for Americans to seek to make their own iron and steel and machinery. The proper thing to do, they urged, would be to buy in the cheapest market. Fortunat-ely this bad advice was rejected. Instead we elected to disregard the allure m ents of nom inal cheapness and w ent ahead and developed au iron industry of our own. The result o! this policy has been to give us real cheapness— the cheapness which is indicated by a constantly increasing per capita con sum ption of iron aud steel, which now exceeds th a t of any other people. I t is im possible to contend for a m om ent the cheapness we are now experiencing could have been enjoyed if the free traders’ advice to buy iu the cheapest m arket had been fol lowed. H ad wo heeded the New E ngland F ree Trade League aud sim ilar organizations wo would not be producing more than a m illion tons of pig iron every m onth of the year, and the price of that product would not be as low as it is at present in this country aud throughout tho world. I t is the trem endous output of the U nited States which has effected a real cheapening. H ad we rem ained dependent upon England for iron and steel, beoauae a few years ago they were able to produce them m ore cheaply than we could, v/e would probably be paying two or three tim es as much for them as we do to-day. The New England F ree Trade Leagne fools itself if it believes that the silly and exploded doctrines of the Cobdenites can be dressed up so as to deceive the American farm er or any other American producer. The man who tills th e soil understands the ef fects of com petition as well as the m ost learned professor, and he real izes th at adherence to the doctrine of baying in the cheapest m arket would be destm ctive io the creation of the m ost potential of all rivalries, that of nations. H ad protection not called into existence the rolling m ills and m achine shops of the U nited States and other protective oonntrieBj tha area of com petition would have been confined to an insignificaut island, and the result would have been dis> astrons to the rest of m ankind, as it would have made them dependent upon resources lim ited in extent, and which wonld have been dealt out at prices that would havo kept consump* tion at the minim um ppint. n a . y t o S e e j w i i r .

B en ovating th e O rchard. T here are many orchards w hiih are giving alm ost no returns for the il^nd they occupy, bu t which m ight, b y \a little well directed effort, be eutirely\ renovated and made to yield as large a profit as auy portion of the farm. The chief cause of the unfruitfuluess of many orchards is that they would have been cropped year after year, w ithout anything having been re turned to the land in the shape of i)lant food; and the trees have become alm ost starved to death. To renovate Buch an orchard, first apply a good coating of stable m anure. It should not simply be piled about the trunks of the trees, but sh o ^ ^ be spread evenly over the whole shrface of the ground. I t should then be plowed nnder as soon as the land can be worked, and the eoil tl^ n harrowed. I t may then be left for several weeks, w hen a liberal top dressing of wood ashes should be applied to furnish potash, for potash constitutes a largo portion of the wood and fruit of the orchard. Some such crop as peas or buckw heat should then be sown, into which, later on, the hogs may profitably be turned. If the bark of the trees has become rough and moss- grown, the trunks should be scraped w ith a dull hoe, and then washed w ith a solution of ashes, lime, whale- oil, soap and soda. L iberal pruning should also be done. B ut if this has been neglected for years back, too many limbs should uot be removed iu one season, as it will cause a severe shock to the tree, and may do more injury than good. I t is best to distribute the pruning over two or three years. Large limbs fchonld be cut out only when absolute ly necessary, aud the woiiud should be treated to a coat uf thick paint. In pruning au old tree, endeavor to leave as much new grow th as possible. The tops should be well thinned out to perm it light aud air to penetrate to the centre of the tree. This colors the fruit and largely prevents blight. Spraying with inse^jticides nnd fangioides should be thoroughly per formed. W hen an orchard is not too old, but produces inferior fruit top- graft w ith scions of some good m ar ketable sorts. This work should be done as soon as the buds begin to has been w ritten to the contrary, we do uot think it advisable to graft old decaying trees. It is much better to cut them down, make firewood of them, and set out a profitable youn'^ orchard iu a new location. There o e some shy bearing varieties of apples, such as K ing of Tom pkins County, which may be made much more pro lific by top-w orking them upon some other thrifty stock. Iu grafting, as in pruning, tho work shonlil be dis tributed over Severn) years. G rafting is a science whiah every farm er should understand. .It is quite eimplo if a few leadiij^points are carefully observed. The buds upon the stock to be grafted should be swetliug, as thin indicates a free flow of sap. The scions }<hould be entirely dorm ant, but if they have be come shriveled they are worthless. The limbs to be grafted should be sawed off w ithout injuring the bark, and the . wedge-shaped scion should lit evenly in tho cleft, so that the bark of stock and scion comes fully in contact. The wound should be thinly cove.'ed with good grafting wax. W e place two ucious iu each large limb, and leave two or three buds ou each.

The ancienl, dwelling house in the town of Guilford, known as the "Old Stone House,” -*s the oldest house in this state, and i^is also said to be the oldest stone house in New England. A bill is pending in the legislature pro viding for the purchase of the house by the state from its present owner, Mrs. Sarah B. Cone of Stockbridge, Mass., a lineal descendant of Rev. Henry Whitfield, tho builder and orig inal owner. It is proposed to preserve the old landm ark and convert it into a historical museum. The following description of the house is taken from Sm ith's “History ^ G u ilfj Thls^________ ___ _ was' [enry Whitfield, botl ^ modation of his fatnlls* flcation against Indians. It is the old est stone dwelling house now standing in New England. This house was kept in its original form until 1863, when it underwent such a renovation as to change to some extent its in terior arrangement.although the north wall and large stone chimney are sub stantially the same as they have been for over two centuries. It is said that the first Guilford marriage was cele brated in it, the wedding table being garnished with pork and pease. Ac cording to tradition, the stot.e ol wbich this bouse was built was brought by the Indians on handbar- rows across the swamp from Griswold rock, a ledge about 80 rods east of the house. It consisted of two stories and an attic.

Newport Ifews, A'a., July .31.— Tiiirty cases of yellow fever devel oped ' at the National .Soldiers’ Home, iieai Hampton, and during the day three desiths occurred from the disea.se. It is said that the dis- e.ise broke outainong the inmates of the home l-.ist Thursday, but no information of it was given to the public. The news naturally cre ated great excitement in Nor folk, Portsm outh and adjacent towns and strict quarantine, tegnla- (ions were at once put in force. There are 3,.500 inmates of the home and the institution Wiis la.st week visited by several excursion par^^ ties. After a day of intense excit^itfient over the yellow fever outbM!ak at the Soldiers Home, N c w i^ t News rests to-night with a feeln ^ o f cnijj- parativc secutity. Jlw rcity officers' varionj^lhnnicipal bodies __ ly since early morning Ttis felt uow that no loophole has been left through which tbe dread scourge may liud its way to this city. The latest report from the Sol diers’ Home gives the total number of cases at 33, an increase of only three during the day. There was one death this afternoon. The uni- vei-sal hope uow is that the disease will be confined within the Home limits, and the atithorities at the institution express confidence that this will be done. The Charlotte Observer says: Cotton mill building in North Car olina goes on apace. The Chatham RecoiS brings information of the purchase by the Erwin Cotton mills, of Durlwm, of 1,000 acres of land on both sides of tlie Haw Kiver, in Chatham, on which will be erected two large cotton mills. This is different from the recent purchase of tbe Loekville water power, which is likewise soon to be developed. Jnst now there has been organized another m ill. of :?100,000 at K ing’s M ountain.

It takes theKTound that it is idle totalkabout interesting outsiders in a cotton factory at Aberdeen as long as sev eral hundred thousand dolliii'S lie in the banks of the city. It argues that if one-sixth of this idle money should be invested in a cotton fa; - tory the other five-sixths w ould ' find active employment. The Y a zoo City Herald boldly asserts that i-ailroads, factories and manufac turing euterprise.s have done more to build up the State than have j some of the governoi-s and politi- leians, while with equal boldness, ; the Port Gibson Reveille says: ‘•The trouble is that instead of encoui'aging these industries the average State legislator and certain well known politicians areduingall in their power to prejudice people against them. The man who tries to poison the public nnnd witli these anti-improvement ideas is nothing less than ai; anarchist. Regardlessof everything pertaining to Hie welfare of the State and the South generally, such men Iciive nothing unturned to promote their own selfish gains, and they would serve a better purpose were they forced to do duty on the State farm. ’' These be strong words, but they are true, and they are applicsible to other States than Mis.sis.sippi.

AVe know to whom it belongs, but who will “ own” it after August, 1900, is yet to be determ ined. A small clique of men, working through the legislature of 1899, so fixed the election law in this state that they are very sureofcaptoring it. The government belongs to the people, but a political machine, by an election law th at gives it the en tire management of elections, can disfranchise one third of the popu lar vote, and fix matters so that the vote of the remainder can be count ed to suit itself, tlien the m a chine will own the government of North Carolina. The question of ownership is now pending between the people and the m achine.-Ashe ville Gazette. Dem. Is that not enough to convince the world, the flesh and his Satan ic Jlajesty, w hat we may expect? In South C aroliua Too. A special from Columbia, S. C., of Aug. 4 says: The legislative committee investigatingthe conduct of the penitentiary by Colonel Ifeal finds him shoit eleveji thousand dollars. Neal admite misappro priating thirty-six hundred dollars. The committee also finds that Sen ator Tillman and John Gary Evans when governor, worked a fertilizer small farm entirely al the State’s expense, and indebted the peniten tiary for groceries and other arti cles gotten for private use, and also had their laundry work done at the penitentiary. It will report to the governor, recommending criminal prosecution of Colonel Neal, and that the two ex-governoi-s be given an opportunity to pay w hat they owe. The above shows that where the machine is in power and the i>oor whites and negroes are not allowed to vote, rascality and jobbery is carri«'d on.

D. A. Tompkins, before Southern lu- du^trial League, at Charlotte., “ It is not for us to determine the question of expansion. Civilizii- tiou, controlled by a higher power than any hum an iwwer, is keeping a jKjce that we must follow or be relegated to the re:ir. It deterniip ed the fate of the ludian. It de term ined the fate of slavery. Not all the forces in the world could change the course of civilization. “ The Philippines must succomb to the forces of civiliziition or they m ust perish from the earth. If our government is not the agent of this force some other gove^-nment will be. It would be as Mst'Iess for this nation to try to disiivow the respon sibilities of m aturity and manhood. ‘•I believe tha‘ w eonght to keep the ;Philippines, Cuba, Porto Rico and'the other possessions we hfU'e araiuired iu the East and \\'e sjf In dies. I beUejeJlwtttOie .i^ i/th is more’interefted iu this policy than any other pure of tlie Uuited States I believe further that the adm in istration ought to take a position in the m atter of the Chinese question. W e ought to join England and not perm it tlie partition of China. Our cotton goods are now going to Man churia. Russia is gradually bring ing this territory into her “ sphere of iutlnence.” This nieaus uUimate control aud ahandiciip on American trade. AVc have now a treaty with China giving us the rights of the more fiivoi-ed nation. This means IS This to Be O ur M odel? In a republican form of govern ment the people are the sovereigns. By the right of suffrage they de clare their will and elect their rep resentatives vo execute it. In order to become effective by uuited action and organization the voters divide into political parties. The repre- Mutatives of the party of the ma jority hold the reins in the state. B ut if they govern badly, it can be but for a time, for the right remains with the people through their pos session of the elective franchise to adopt new policies and elect new men to office. It has occurred in the history of republics and in our ewu that through some untoward circumstances this ideal form of government became corrupted and inoperative; that the power vested in the hands of the people bec.ime lost to them aud a ‘few amliifious men took possession of the affairs of Stiite and conducted them foi their own aggrandizement and against the public good. They entrenched themselves by legislation and pa tronage SO as to deprive the people of the power to control or overthrow them . This condition of affairs, we believe, at present exists in Louis iana. were adopted iu Lonisiaua, we be lieve also a like deplorable condi tion is threatened in North Caroli na. Ring rule aud its attendant corruption have attained such a sway in Louisiana that even many who were iiistnimental iu promot ing the sovereignity of a politiciil machine that should be superior to the .sovereignty of the people are crying out against it. A t th is’ stage of its aft'airs the North Caroli na legislature looks to Louisiana for a model for its laws! It would dis franchise its citizens by a scheme that, with ribald humor liifitting the ocfasion and the deed, was adopted as the hist blow at political liberty in that state. W e are told by the men who would fa.sten the Lonisiaua suffrage amendment on. this .st;ite that the last congressional election in Louisiana was conduct ed under its provisions, aud that it ■vorked splendidly. O utofa popula tion of 1 ,200,000 at this election Louisiana cast 30,000 votes! Iu previous comments on this election we have shown how iu some dis tricts the vote was hardly more than 3 or 4 per cent of the voting popu lation, and only one part}’ was rep- reseuted by a candidate. A more complete suborrfP ilion of the peo ple of a whole state tb a political ring was probably never seen than in this election. There were a few men in Louisiana who declared (hut they would rule the state iu “ one way or another,” aud they do. Through disfrauchisment, a partisan election law aud the pow er already obtained by the machitte whether it be iu prim arj' orja>m?rtnr- tion, the machine ha^ljlfeady nsnrp- ed aiiVr"t1ie rights of the people. In speakingthns of Louis- i:iua, after which we are sisked to model the political affairs of this state, we arc stating only facts that • are known to all men, aud especial ly to tho.se andtitious of political coijtrol in North Carolina Through the means that has corrupted popu lar government in Louisiana. That excellent authority, the New Or leans Times-]>enu)crat, of July 2fi, describes the coudillon of affairs iu our sister state as follows: “ It is well known tliat the prim a ries in New Orleans are conducted under such rules and reglations that the bosse.s are inviueible—and none save a few entlrisiasts have ever nity. They surrender their jiower to men who they know are not able to exercise it as intelligently as they themselves would; and who, they also know, will simply use the pow er the votes gave them as a basis of a swapping game w^hich will assure the boss office and find themselves (the delegates) soft sinecures where there will be nothing to do except to look after the bosses’ political in terests.” May North Carolina be spared from the fate of Louisiana! Mean while may the few earnest men in that state who are striving to rally the people against the power of the machine, eutrenched as it is by a wall of legislation erected by itself against the people, be endowed with strength to endure the shafts that will be hurled against them until a revolution can undo the damage that has been done in a sovereign state*-Asheville Gazette. B rja n On the PhUlppines. W illiam J. Bryan discusses the Philippine question in this week’s issue of the Independent, taking his usual position that the war on the Filipinos is wrong. “ There are two sources of government,” says M r. Bryan, “ force aud consent. Monachies aie founded ujnm force, republics upon consent. If the doc trine set forth in the Declaration of Independence is simnd, how can we rightfully acquire sovereignty over the Filipinos by a war of con quest!” It is on such mistaken ’u “y th e ’M m ru7etV ods"'that Prem ises that M r. Bryan hangs his argnments. e acquired sovereign ty in the Philippines through Spain, which pose.ssed the only establish ed government iu the islands. The question is shall we m aintain that “overeiguty or shall we yield it to force? Is there any moment since Dewey’s victory, which no man iu the United States has failed to ap prove. that we could, iis a civilized nation with obligations to hum ani ty, have quitted the Philipines, or remained to occupy a position sub servient to the half-civilized na tives of the islands? “ W e can send school teachers to Manila instead of soldiei-s and the world will know that chere is a reality in the theory of the government promulgated at Independence hall, and defended by the blood of the revolutionary fathera,” says Mr. Bryan. W e could also send babies until the streets of the Filipiuos’ town were paved like a Calvanistic hell. This nation will send soldiers until they can blaze the way for teachers, and until this natiou can fulfill the des tiny an inscrutable Providence has pointed out to us.—Asheville Ga zette.

Denetridas, an educated Greek, who has been connected with our consular service at Constantinople, for more than 25 years, and now in W ashington, isays it was also the best thing for Europe that has oc curred in a long time. In explain ing. he says: “ The effects of that war are more far-reaching probably than the average American dreams of. It brought good to Europe in this way: it proved lie.vond doubt the potency of the American Re public, and it showed to the nations that America had at least taken up a position as a great world-power. Its force hitherto had been latent. Now along with this new concep tion of the W ashington government CJime a realization that henceforth and forever t ^ EngUsh speaking races would assume the dominant role, in the affairs of the world. England had been r ^ r d e d as iso lated, but after sheacted us she did in your war with Spain it was clear that a bond hiid been established that was of no temporary character. This, then is the gr&it result of yourtrium ph over Spain; the peace of Europe is put on a basis of al most absolute safety, and the Anglo- American rapproachment, which was another result, means that fair play shall exist between all nations, ind that English and American deas of civilization and liberty hall be the standard of the world.” M r.

Yellow fever appears to be added to the list of hitherto terrible diseases that can be both cured and prevented by the inoculation principle. In the long battle between Science and Dis- east! it is evident that the knock-out blow will bo landed by Science.

In some respects the position of the A ustralian Commonwealth is en tirely unique. I t is the only country in the world that has an entire conti nent absolutely to itself. It can never be troubled w ith the boundary dis putes that have caused so much dis- 5ord in Europe, Asia, Africa and America.

Remembering the years during which disinterested free traders were urging and often reiterating their ad vice that the people of tho United States contino themselves to tho pur- huit oi agriculture, to food-raising and to the production of raw materials, and to leave to other aud far moro favored countries the business o! con verting these raw materials into manu factured commodities, it is interest ing to note some of tlie important con sequences resulting from the disre gard of that extraordinary counsel aud the consequent establishment of the policy of protection. From sta tistics gleaned by the Treasury Bur eau ot Statistics it appears that manu factures are now forming more than one-third of our total domestic ex ports, During the last month they AV’ere 33.77 per cent, of the total do mestic exports, during the three months ending with May they were 35.50 per cent., and during the fiscal year just ending they will form a larger percentage of out total domes tic exports than in bny preceding year, aud exceed by many millions the total exports of manufactures in any preceding year. The fiscal year 1898 showed tbe largest exports of manufactures iu our history, S290,- 697,35^, and in tho eleven months of the fiscal year 1899 the increase over the corresponding months of the pre ceding year has been $45,164,000, bo that it is now apparent that the ex ports of manufactures in tho fiscal year now ending will be about $335,- 000,000, as against the high water mark, $290,697,354 in tho fiscal year 1898. This would seem to indicate that we did well to run exactly coun ter to the views and wishen of our Cobdonite advisers. Iron and steel continue to form the most important, or at least by far the largest item of value in tho exports of mauufactures. In tbe month of May, 1899, the exports of iron and steel, aud manufactures thereof, amounted to SS,601,114, making the total for the eleven months $84,873,842, against $63,235,029 iu the corresponding months of last year—a gain in the eleven months of over $21,000,000. The recent advances in prices of iron and steel caused the belief that a re duction in the exports of iron and steel would follow, but certaiuly this has uot been realized up to the pres ent time, since the exportations of iron and steel in the month of May are twenty per cent, in excess of those of May of last year, while those of April are nearly fifty per cent, in excess of April, 1898. The increase which the year’s ex ports of manufactnres will show over earlier years lends especial interest to a table prepared by the Treasuiy Bureau of Statistics showing ihe ex portation of manufactures by great classes in each year from 1889 to 1898. The following extracts from it show the exportations iu 1889 and 1898 ot all articles whoso total value ex ceeded $1,000,000 in the year 1898; 1869. 1893.

The Hart ford, the famous old man-of-war now 8erving as a recruiting chip, is now at Mare, CaL, and as soon as possible will be fitted up for a long crulic.

Captain Henry Hawley, who has been assign-rd to the Hartford, epeaks enthusiastical ly of the abilities of the boys he is to get “We intend to make the cruise of the Hartford as attractive as pos sible, and we will do everything to make the service of the landsmen pleasing. "We will have a good band of music on board; will stop at the most interesting ports en route, and In other ways do what we can to In duce the western boys to adopt tho service as their profusion.

They are well-behaved, quiet and orderly, and what they lack in seafaring knowledge they make up in zeal and industry. When we only had to supply 12,000 | men for our ships wo found it difficult j to get good sailors, but now that the | force has been increased to 17,500 our i troubles have grown in proportion.

This is a proof of the soundness of the Bepublicau doctrinc tbat a protective tarifif does not inter fere with the development of our ex port trade. The free traders have al ways declared that a large volume of manufactured exports is impossible under protection. We have, during the past two years, proved the utter falsity of thifi theory. Don't go to juggling witb the tariff. Let well eooagh alone. The people of this country have lost, in the aggre gate, many millions of dollars by tho check to enterprise whioh has resulted from the agitation of the tariff ques tion from 1884 to 1896.

But having once been in troduced, in the course of a trip be tween Boston and New York some fif ty-nine years ago. and then having had her hard jud^ent of this wicked man softened a little by seeing him carrj*- ing a poor child on his shoulders, she consented to make him the object of a little missionary work. So she said to him earnestly: “You seem to forget, Mr. Emerson, that the devil is going around all the time, seeking whom he may devour!” “Oh, no.

A dispatch of the 7th says: Dr. Vickory, in charge of the Hamptou Sjldiers’ Home, reports to the Ma rine Hospital officials that one pa tient was admitted to the yellow fever hospital today. The man has beea ill for seven days. Takeu al together, the officials say, the sit uation continues eucouraging. In the lerntory surrounding the in stitution the situation likewise con tinues to improve, aud according to reports received shows a freedom from any fever iufection. The teN egrams received by Dr. Wyman in this connection includes the follov - ing: “Dr. Wiisdin says there is uothiug new in Phoebus; Surgeon White e.^pects to finish the hou: e- to-house inspection at Hampton tomorrow. There is nothing new at Hampton and the surgeon is hopeful all will continue well. Surgeon Donaldson, telegraphing from Lee Hall. Va., says he has investigated Yorktown, Grafton and the surrounding district. He feels Justified in siiying that the zoue beginning at Grove Station and terminating at Xewport News, is entirely free from infection.” Tne yel'ow fever scare at Hamp ton may delay the completion of some of the warships now building at Newport Newp. The Na'i'y De partment was today advised that many of the workmen had fled with the appearance of the fever, and the Department was notified of the delay in the work of con- stmctioD, w^hicU would necessarily result. The ships building at Ke-.v- port News are the Illinois. Kear- aage, Kentucky and Arkansas. O u r T roops in C uba. A Washington dispatch says the administration is considering the advisability of gradually with drawing United States garrisons in the next two months, although it is not expected that several posts in the island can be abandoned un til next year. An ofliclal of the War Departiaent says the principal reason for withdrawal is considera tion for the health of the men. The department realizes, he said that it will be necessary to maintain gar risons in some parts of Cuba for a long time, and it is believed that at several points the situation may within a few months be trusted to take care of itself without the re straining influence of soldiers. It was reported that the admin istration contemplated the with drawal of regulars from Cuba for the purpose of incteasing the fight- force in the Philippines; but this is denied. _________________ A Union county man tells the Monroe Journal that he and a friend were walking in a field a few days ago when they came upon a par tridge leading two young chickens, the latter a week or so old. They caught the chickens and examined them carefully, then turned them loose and they ran off with their strange mother quite joyfully. The first regiment band that was with tho army in Cuba will reen- list for service in the Philippines, and go with the 29th r^ment of volunteer regulars. M oeksville P ro d u ce 9 Ia rk e t.

The struggle between the Yiiqui Indians and the Mexican govern- ment has been inevitable ever since the construction of the Mcxican Cen tral Railroad brought civilization within an easy march of the Yaqui territory. With the extension of the area of gold discoveries in Senora the conflict conld not be longer averted, and it will have a melancholy interest in history as probably the last stand of the red man on this continent against destiny. The Yaqm is not an a;;gressive or as bloodthirsty as the Apache, but he is fully as impervi ous to civilization and quite as good a fighter. He has. fheld his own for nearly four.'humlred years against the white m ^, he is not ^ing to yieldi and will probably hold put until exterminated. But, before that happens he will give Mexico.a great deal of trouble.— New York World. T o w n s i n P J C D S jV IG W e s t e r n N .

As he was carried in trium ph through the city, and beholding the mag nificence of the city. Its wealth and its beautiful palaccs, his thoughts returned to his humble cottage in Britain, and he exclaimed: “ How can people possessed of such mag nificence at home, envy me, my humble cottage in B ritain.” How can you. my Democratic friends, you who possess wealth and education, and the good things of ‘his life, envy, and even now are planning and plotting to deprive the poor and unfortunate of North Carolina of a voice in its govern ment. Think of your one sided partizan election law. Think of your unjusl discrimination against the iKior and unlettered, and how you are trying to fasten a political machine npon the State in order to make the state everlastingly Dem ocratic. And iu conclusion, jiistre- vert to the sentim ent of the Post, “ Let Jnstice to all prevail aud let the PEOPLE work together in up holding their enterprises njwn which they so vitally depend,” not a part of the people, bnt all the people in behalf of good govern ment, law and order.

The danger of too much yielding to the party lash—of giving up the have not already reached the state in the South where it is no longer true that erroi" is harmless when truth is left free to combat it. This is a serious question and is serious- 'y asked. Are we not making this burden more serious and expensive than we onght? Can we afford to pay the costi Do not our present conditions silence wise conselors, encourage ambitious weaklings, and close to us the treasure house of ex perience! I know not what answers others may give, but it seems to me that it has brought upon us the day of small men. “ Cleanness, consistency and courage are proscribed, while truth faltew on the lips of the brave, that dreams and theorizes and nonsense may be freely proclaimec by the tongue of the cowardice, ig norance and imbecility. Public opinion, resting upon the narrow base of party platform is intolerant aud weak men quake at its mutter- ings. Our public men too often run great risk rf injuring them selves in their mad rush to get on the popular side of questions, about which the public knowledge is ne bulous.” In this State we cannot afford to allow any political organization to become more powerful than the people. Civil and political liberty must be preserved to the individu al, and the policies and acts of our public men must be^ubject to the cheek of the ballot in the hands of the people. Suspicion must rest upon the men who invoke the aid of unfair election laws; foi uothing ls> aimed more directly at the de feat of the people as the power that alone should rule the slate.— Asheville Gazette. The above question asked by the Gazette, a Democratic paper, ap peals to every thoughtful citizen of the State. It and what follows should appeal to your thoughtful judges without good and sufScient cause and proof. Corruption and wickedness should be exposed by all men, but much harm comes from this indiscriminate suspicion arrayied against onr judiciary. A r ray clasi against class, foster dis content and anarchy, aud then— repent the folly when too late. “ Be sure you are right and then go ahead.” control of the state or any part of j ^ It to a few •‘pi-ofessioual” pohti-;. . „ , , ,, ,, dans whose dictates become the,^he “ principles” of the party—is very clearly set forth in the speech of S. G. JIcLendon, of Thomiisville, Ga., before tlie recent meeting of the Southern Industrial League at A t lanta. It is the duty aud the priv ilege of every citizeu to have a voice in public allairs. If the po litical party with which he has vot ed become corrupt or adopts apoli- ey that in the mind of a voter is harm ful and wrong it is the righ t of the voter to protest in such de cent waj’S as he sees fit. To do otherwise it is to encourage corrup- tion and mismanageiuent in politics and government. There are always crafty aud self-seeking men ready tJ seize the opportunity presented of obtainiug control of a politic;.! party when the vast body of the voters that compose it have ce;ised to think for themselves or to act independently. It is ou suca oc casions that a “ hurrah” cainpajgu, on any issue that excites prejudice <aui throw the State off its feet and achieve for the campaign m anipu lators a “ graud victory.” Such graud victories are sure to be fol lowed by an etiort of the victors to make themselves secure iu their position. Having accomjilished their own promotion by shrewd methods, by sileucing opposition aud frank discussion aud subduiug all fair reiisoiiing, they more bold ly go in to win still greater powers by still more corrupt methofls.

The state in which one po litical party is suprem e—in which all opposition has been silenced and but a small part of the voting population go to the polls—is in variably ruled by inferior men and cx)rruption flourishes, because the offender has no one stronger than himself to mete out punishments to him. Says M r. McLendon; “The history of civilization is the record of the battle between private aud public right. Govern ment is the repository of public right, and while its powers are measured by the surieuder of in dividual rights, it ought to be the guardian aud guarantor of the rcs- iduiu of private right, whioh is civil lilierty.

The above article is iu strouger aud more forceful language than we can put it, and it shows you the danger ahead.

The con ditions of the country are now such as promote the expenditure of cap ital in directions tiiat promise safe investments and nature in this sec tion offers a field of great produc tiveness. In the last few months there have been some notable movements for the development of some of the resources of the coun try, including gold mining in Hen- dei'sou county and graphite min ing in McDowell. The latter ven ture promises importan' results, owing to the large and increasing demand now for graphite and the vast quantities of it that exists in this region. In gold mining for the fii-st time in this section mod ern and scientific methods are to be applied to the w'ork. The cost of mining the precious metal will be so reduced'that it is believed it will be profitable and a thorough L et Us Rejolcti and Take Courage.

Famine Is JmpondinB General Davis Aeks IxDinedlate Aid. Wabhikotok, D. 0. (Special).—The War Department received a eablegraa from Gea- eral Davis giving fuller details of tbe dam age done in Porto Atco by the hurricaQe, General Davis says a famine is impeodlDg, and asks authority to issue ration.^ to the destitute. The message is dated at San Juun, and says: “Later reports show that the hurricane was far more severe ia the interior and southern part of tbe island than here. Data for an estimate of tbe number of Porto Bicans who have lost everything are defl- cient, but I am forced to believe the num ber on the Island cannot fall below 100,000 souls, and a famine is impeDdiog. I ask that 2,500,000 pounds of rice and beans, equal quantities of each, bo immediately shipped on transports to Ponce and here. Urgent appeals have been made to all post commsnders for food for the destitute. Am I authorized to relieve distress by food is* sues? Bice and beans only desired. «‘There have been many deaths of na* tives by falling walls. So far only one eoldler Is reported daugerously injured. Several towns are reported entirely de molished. As yet I have reports from only four ports—complete destruction of all bar racks at two, and at two others one company of each had barracks detroyed. Troops are in canvas. “No reports yet from the largest porta, Ponce and Mayaguez, but they wore in the vortex of the storm. Ac least half of the people In Porto BIco subsist entirely on fruit and vegetables, and the storm has entirely destroyed this source of support.’* The War Department took prompt ac tion on General Davis's report. The army transport McPherson was ordered to sail from New York to San Juan and Ponce with supplies to relieve tbe destitute in PcrtoBico. Acting Oommlssary General Weston purchased in Now York six hun dred thousand pounds of rice and six hun dred thousand pounds of beans for ship ment on the UcPherson.

No law heretofore gave a Eegistrar such sweeping power. He is a iudge aud jury. The Registrar may re quire you to prove your identity, age and residence by at least two witnesses under oath. Is that not sweeping pow er! He m ight call on you to prove it by fifty. Don’t you see the loop hole ? H e (the Registrar) shall certify to the clerk of the court, a list of those who have not listed their jwll; the clerk shall hand such certificate t» the solicitor, and the solicitor shall draw and send to the grand jury a bill of indictment against such elector so registering, for failure to list his poll. How can you escape I this drag net i If you fail to list your poll yon must stay away from the Democratic Registrar, or you will be indieted. Justice aud reason ; have been dethroned.

Peter Cooper once said:. ‘-The history of one Tariff is the history of every Tariff that has -been en acted, the repeal jf one hais always brought misery and ruin, and the re-enactment has .tlways restored prosperity.” Since Cooper’s time history has only added force to his words. The revision of our tariff, made, neces sary by the ch an g ^ conditions, and the enactment ol the McKinley law. a law drawn along the strict est of protectionist lines, gave the signal for the oppening of factories, the building of mills, the estab lishm ent of industries, the revival of business and the raise of wages. The Free-Trade Wilson law struck down all this prosperity almost at one blow. Idleness and w antw ere the order of the day and men walked the country from end to end in vain search for work. Then came the restoration of protection undei the Dingley law, and the change came again.

A w riter from Manchester in the M annfaeturejs’ Record gives some interesting particulars of the world’s greatest spinning i^entre. W ithin an area of fifty miles around that city are 1,760 cotton manufac tories, controlling 42,191.01)0 spin dles and 638,000 lo^ms. These mills have been paying excellent dividends, 75 per cent, of them earning enough to distribute 10 per cent, per annum and have 5 per cent, to put by for the purchase of new equipment. This leads The Louisville iCourier-Journal to ob serve that if the Manchester mills, with their costly fuel and the ne- nessity of bringing the raw m ateri al 3,000 miles, can still earn 15 per cent, upon the investment, how much greater is the opportunity of the Southern mill, w'ith its inex pensive water power or its coal at sixty cents and tne dollar a toni The fact that so Beauty a propor tion of the cotton grown in the South is worked up there, while the labor, skill and capital that convert it into the finished product; are located 3,000 miles away, is a shHme to American enterprise. j identity and qualification of the said applicant to be admitted to registra tion.

Perhaps our farmer readers, says the Kings Mountain Reformer, have looked upon such heads as the above and heard comments and advice under such until they do not care to even look at such, much less read about their subject m atter. But however this may be, if we can induce any farmers into sowing mare oats this year than usual we will be satisfied. You can see now that many of your corn crops will be very short and it you can make a better substitute to feed ou than oats w'ill make you, then we are ready to hush up. There are now good seasons and your lands will be in fine shape for sowing. You can soon put in a large quantity of oats and do it at a small expense. You cau plow in, harrow them iu or brush them in, and yet any of the plans may bring you a fine crop of grain. W e know 01 no crop so easily made if taken in time, and now you have the time. Seed may be scarce, but this should be no excu»e. You can and should get the seed and sow them. Most of our farmers are sowing a lot of peas. These are splendid in fe?Tn^\“ form\'r‘'to;nsM^^^^^ plac^ and now if they will precinct that his name has been eras- only add oats to these they will beprecinc ed from the registration books of the ward, precinct or township from which he has removed, and the identity of any person claiming the ri^ht to be *,esame rele^'ated to Vlie rear, and our peo ple be united for the common good, still greater things would open up before us. W e are just beginning to realize our wonderful advantages and resources, but the schemers, af ter a few fat jobs, care nothing about the people so long as pic is in sight. If there was more statesmanship and patriotism among the would- be^leaders and less of the narrow, bitter and intolerant partizan spirit, all would go well, and all questions (even the negro problem) could be settled for the good of onr countiy, and all its people, both white a^d black. Onr Democratic friends h; hot handled thisquestion with mi wisdom in a great many res; The held in a"s«)lid phalanx publicans had the Democratic party not abused and insulted them from every stum p, and on everj' occasion. But the partizan leaders and sche mers did it for a purpose—that purpose was to keep tho whites united in order to retain a fav'ored few in office, regardless of the best interests of the country. W e are candid and honest in the belief that the leaders in the Democratic party are not in favor of settling this negro question permanently. They want it on hand to be used whenever it becomes necessary for party advantage. This is all wrong. L et’s get together and build up the waste places in the South.

Neill, the cotton crop prophet, is at it again, and in the face of his failure last year, to put a crop of 12,000,000 bales upon the m arket he is out in a preiljction for the coming crop. He missed it last year by over a million bales, and the chances are that he will miss it by nearly two m illion. bales thisyear. H is “ prfidiction” justis- sued for the crop now m aturing will roach 12,000,000 bales, and despite his bad W a k last year, the m arket manipulators will go to vork upon the Neill cue, and regulate prices accordingly.

Some interesting faots illtistratiye of the ihatvelouS rirtVal Of Wdustriai acUvity which fdllowed so aiteotW upon the election of President JJcKin-; ley and the enactment of the Dingley tariff are set forth in a statement is. BMd by the Treasury Bureau of Sta- tinics. It is especially significant ol pi^sperous times among manufactur ers that articles required in manufao- tnjipg and food stuffs not produced in the United States form the largest items of thq increase in importations Shown by the fiscal year jUst fendedj The statement Covers all articles or classes of articles in tehich the impor tation increased ot decreased as much as $1,000,000 dnring the ^ear; and shows an increase of importations iu nearly all articles of foreign produc- tiou required by our manufacturers. Unmanufactured fibers, raw silk,crude rubber* bar and block tiiii hides anc &kind{ tindressed fiirs; Cabinet anc Other woods ^ unmftnufaotnred tobaccd and chemicals for use iu mauufactur- ing, all show a heavy ilicreaaei wool being the only important item of ma terial for the factory which shows a reduction in imports. In the ten great classes of material imported for use of the manufac- Ititers — fibers^ silk^ rubber, hides, fiirsj tin; Copper^ tobacco^ wood and chemicals—th^ increase amounts to about $30j0d0,000j though the reduction of several milliod dollars ifl wool brings the Uet in crease in manufacturers’ materials to something loss than that figure; In food stulTs tho principal increase is in sugar, tropical fruits and cocoaj the increase in these being above ^0;- 000,000. The very heavy importa tions of sugar just prior to the enact ment of the tariff law of 1897 made the sugar importations of 1898 extremely light, so that those of 1899 show an increase of fifty per cent, in quantity over those of 1898, but many million ponnds less than those of 1897. Among manufactured goods the finer grades of cotton, silk and fibers show the largest increase, though matting, china ware, dressed furs and spirits are slightly in excess of last year. Diamonds and jewelry show the larg est increase among the articles classed as luxuries, though this is believed to be due in part nt least to a reduction in duties under the act of 1897, which was made in the belief that it would reduce smuggling aud thus bring with in tho operations of the customs law many million dollars* worth of this clasB of goods which had formerly es caped taiation. In manufactured goods there has been a decrease in im ports in a number of important arti cles which come in competition with American mauufactures, especially in woolen goods and tin plate. Coffee also shows a decrease of about $10,- 000,000 in value of importations, largely due, however, to the decrease in price rather than in quantity, ihe average price per pound in 1899 being more than ten per cent, below that of 1898, while there is also a slight re duction in quantities imported, owing to the very heavy imports of last year. The following table includes tho ar ticles or classes of articles in which the imports cf the year show au in crease or decrease of as much as .SI,000,000, aud compares the imports or the year with those of 1897.

The vicissitudes which Louis Na poleon experienced almost from the cradle to the grave were probably all but unexampled. He was a fugitive before he Could speak articulately. In th» interval between his 20th and his 40th y ^ r hfe was a prlsOnfer in Btras^ burg, Lorient^ Ham and the Conci^f^ gerie. He was an outlaw for more than half his life. Therfe were incidents, at Strasburg, and later at fifoulo'gne; which brought upon him the mock and Jeer of Europe. He carried a baton as A special constable in Park Lane on C hartists’ Day. Then, by a sudden turn bi fortiine, he becamg (‘resident of the iVehch ItepUbiic. th e Cdup d’E tat inade hiin Emperot* of the French: and thenceforth for fifteen years he was, perhaps, the most-con sidered man of Europe. It was said of him that on being asked whether he should not find it difficult to rule the French nation he replied, “Oh, no! nothing is more easy. II leur faut une guerre tous les quartre ans.” (They just need a war every foUr years.) This policy held good in a modified degree. The Crimean war wds for him a suc cess, although not precisely a triumph; the Italian campaign, in spite of its hard-fought victories, ended abruptly Jn approximation to a failure. The Mexican expedition was an utter fiasco. Yet Napoleon m ight have gone dn wi._ his program of a war every four years but for the circumstances th at there happened to be In Europe in the mid dle ’Sixties an infinitely stronger, more masterful and more ruse man than the dreamy and decaying Na poleon. W hen he and Bismarck walked along the Biarritz beach in Oc tober, 1S65, Bismarck expounding his political speculations as they strolled —“Is he mad?" the Emperor whisper ed to Prosper Merimee, on whose arm he leaned. Napoleon had very soon to recognize that madness had no part in the character of Otto von Bis marck.

D ora W y att Dead. Dora, daughter of John N. and Sallie Wyatt, was taken sick on Sunday, the 13th inst., and died Thursday nighty the 17th inst. While she was quite sick, her death was not expected so soon. She was 12 years, 10 months and 11 days old when death took her from this terrestrial home and carried her spirit to that celcstial home above. Little Dora was kind and affectionate not only at home, but to all who knew her. She was very industrious and s ^emed to assume the duties of domes tic work and to relieve her mother of this burden, as she was not in good health. Her presence and voice will not only be missed at home, but how sad and lonely does it make one feel at Suuday-school when her seat is vacant and her voice still? No lesson; no song from little Dora here; but sing, yes sweetly sing in yonder’s world with the angels, praising His name, honor and glory forever. A F mend . Fork Church, August 21st.

S uck . Enoim oos Production of Gold. The gold production of the first half of 1899 indicates an enormous increase over the product of the like period in 1898. The produc tion of the United States in ’98 was 164.463.000, of AustraUa $67,000,- 000, of South Africa $80,290,653; but the indications of the last six months point to a total production for the whole of ’99 of $74,000,000 in the United States, $79,000,000 in Australia and over $100,000,000 in South Africa. Add to this that of Canada, which produced $13,775,- 420 of gold in ’98 will probably produce $23,000,000 during ’99, and an idea will be obtained of the rapid growth of volume the world’s standard money metal is attaining. There is every reason to believe that the product of $390,000,000 of gold in ’98 will be swoleu to over 8350.000.000 in ’99 and $410,000, 000 in 1900. S tate and G eneral N ew s. Mr. Henry Xance, who lives at Unionville, had an experience last Saturday which he does not wish to have repeated. He came to Monroe and bought a lot of dyna mite to use in W'ell digging. He put the dynamite in his buggy and started for home, and when about three miles from town his mule be came freightened and ran away. While the male was -dashing along the road Mr. Kance was thinking of that dynamite. It is needless to dwell upon the fact that his whole mind was on that explosive sub stance. The mule ran against a tree and Mr. Nance was thrown a considerable distance, and when he struck the ground he thought that he had experienced a “blo^v up” instead of a “come doini.” The mule broke away from the buggy and left the dynamite unex- ploded.—Monroe Enquirer. Frank Fdgerson, the 10-year-old son of Mr. Jas. H. Bdgerson. who lives a short distance south of this city, haga p^uliar disease suppos ed to lie elephantias^. His right leg from the knee joint down to his ankle is swollen to an enormous size, in diameter as large as a peck measure while the other limbs of his body are nothing but skin and bones. He is greatly reduced in size and resembles a skeleton in appearance. The swollen leg to be sapping the life of the ■ tte leg now weighs tire body. It is altogether a most peculiar and pitiful case.—Wilson News. Mr. A. Beckwith, of Altamahaw, was in our city last Friday and in conversation with him, he told us that he could not read a newspa per at all, nor print in any form, but that he could read writing as good as anybody; said he could read any kind of writing except that of a lawyer, th.it was tw hard for him. He can write a good hand but he can’t read print atall. We asked him why this was. He said ha had studied to write and read writing, bat had not studied to read print.—Burlington Ifews. A special from Manila of the Sint, says that while a reconnoitering party of the 24th infantry, under Capt.

It is now estimal ed that the bod ies of 2,500 victims of the recent hurricane have been buried in Por to Bioo; tha^ 1,000 persons were in jured dorii^ the storm and that 2,<KK) people are still missing. The larmers of South Carolina are turning away from cotton to tobacco and wheat culture as usur er means of getting out of. the ground a fair return for the seed they sow and the labor they ex pend upon it. A Columbia dis patch to The New Tork Times es timates the crop of tobacco this year at 20 ,000,000 pounds, for which from 4 to 26 cents per pound will be realized, according to qual ity. The cultivation of wheat has been so successful that the acreage sown this year is likely to be doub led.—Philadelphia Eecord. Kemeisville, N. C., is to have a woolen mill, which is expected to be in operation by November 1. A Virginia woolen manufacturer, who is to move his machinery from a Virginia factory, and Mr. J. F. Kerner are the parties interested, a gentlemen informedi the Bal- eigh Post. Let ’em come—all of them!

Airy News says: The widely known Peach Bottom cop per mine near the State line in Al leghany county, has been sold to some New Jersey capitalists for $21,000.

Senator Tillman went t» the root of the race trouble when he laid the whole blame of the riots in the Greenwood section, not upon the negroes, but upon the Tolbejts. H e declared that if the Tolberts, the leaders of the Republican party in that section, are still stirring up the n^;roes, they ought to be dealt M'ith. “ If you want to uproot this evil and kill the snake,” he said, “go kill the Tolberts, but don’t abuse the poor, innocent black wretches.” This is unquestionably harsh language, but it is sound advice.—Charlotte Observer. As the Observer of the 25th misconstrues my editorial of the 2Gth, I give a paragraph of its edi torial of the 18th, in which he says that Ben Tillman’s advice to kill the Tolbert’s was “sound advici;.” There is no necessity for miscon struction, this language is too plain to even question the -‘advice.” I have never been so “fair-minded” as to advise either whites or ne groes to deeds of lawlessness and murder, and I hope tJiat ti«ne will never come. I deprecate all forms of lawlessness. I advise the jue- groes to be i)eaceable and law-abi- diag. I do not advise them to kill those who resort to murder and assassination to carry the elections rather than see Republicans in office. The Tolberts and all other Republicans are amenable to the law, and when they violate the law, justice according to civilized methods, should be meted out to them. Let’s have law and or der. Let’s prosecute all oflend- ers, white or black, Democrat or Republican. If this be not fair- minded, then I plead guUty. The disclosures made before the committee to investigate the peni tentiary management Hhows a spe cies of barbarism which cannot be tolerated in Korth Carolina. It matters not who they are or what their politics, the law should be rigidly enforced against the guilty party or parties. The whipping to death of the negro Lowe should be investigated to the fullest ex tent, aud the murderers prosecuted aud punished. That fellow Suni- merell should be relieved from duty at once and his conduct rigidly investigated^_____________ In a speech at Greenwood, S. C., last week. Senator Tillman called the white cappers who have been terrorizing negroes in that sectiou “white cowards,” doubtless a very proper term. H e was undoubtedly also correct when he said: -‘The Yankees are watching us closely, and the eyes of the whole woild are on the race problem South. Tliey will take advantage of every thing 01 this kind to abuse the South. You are just playing into the Yankees’ hands.” Hut info whose hands was the same TilluMu playing when he in this self-sa: speech said: “Don’t abuse th< poor l)lack wretches, but go to Republican leaders. If you wi to uproot this evil and kill that I have not ' egis' election in any otLer ward, precinct or township; that I am the identical person I represent myself to be, and that I am a bona fide resident of . .precinct. So help me, God.” ’’And thereupon the said perionshall be en titled to register. That if any appli cant for registration v. ho is permi tted to register shall confess upon his ex amination under oath at the time he is admitted to registration that he has not listed his poll for taxation for or if he shall admit that he did not list his poll for taxation for the year next lirecedlng, it shall be the duty of the registrar to certify said fact or facts to the clerk of the superior court of his county, and the said clerk shall hand such certificate to the solicitor for the district at the next term of the superior court, and the solicitor shall without delay draw and send to the grand jury a bill of indictment against such elector so registering for failure to list his poll tax. And if any applicant shall falsely swear he has listed his poll for taxation he shall b j guilty of perjury and punished as prescribed by law: Provided, that the answer of the delinquent, that he has not listed his poll for taxation, shall not be used against him in any criminal proceeding for a failure to list his poll! but it shall be the duty of the solicitor to whom said name is certified, if he shall be satisfied that said alleged delinquent elector is lia ble to li.st his poll and that he has ! failed to do so as required by law, to send a bill of indictment against such ' delinquent to the grand jury for fail- I ure to list hU poll. ' few white cappers^ by their acts were “playing into the hands of the Yankees,” what must we think of the spectacle of a United States Senator^ a supposed defender of law and order, puiilicly advising that Republiwin leaders be killed, rather thivn a few negroes white- capped t If Tillman had evidence of wrong-doing against the Tol berts, he should have used it in a legal manner. But such talk as that which is credited to him is enough to bringthe blush of shame to the cheek of every true South erner. Whither are we drilling ? —Progressive Farnier. Bro. Poe you had better mind how you criticise Ben Tillman, oi‘ yoif will have the Charlotte Ob server on your back. It won’t do to say anything about these high officials of Democracy unless you want to be misconstrued and mis represented. We have made it a rule to condemn all kinds of law lessness, yet we afe misrepresented. We condemn white-cappers and midnight assassins, and all kin dred crimes, yet because we con demned Ben and the Observer for advising the murder of the Tol berts, we are misrepresented. W ool-Growing lu The South. The Wool Record, considered as the organ of those engaged in the shsep industry and an authority on all questions relating to sheep and wool, having studied the op portunities of Western K’<<t'th Car olina as a sheep country says: “The blue ribbon and gold med al at the World’s Coluinbiau Expo sition at Chicago, for the best wool was awarded to Maj. R. S. Tucker, of Iforth Carolina. When the com parative litt'e prominence ihat State enjoys as a wool-producing sectiou is considered, this reward is somewhat surprising to the gen eral reader. However, it is doubt ful if there is in the United States a better section for raising of sheep than North Carolina. The climate, soil and other conditions are admi rably adapted to sheep husbandry. The winters are not so severe that the sheep require shelter much of the time. And there are but a few days when they are unable to gain a living on thefieldot forestranges. With the exception of excessive winter weather, such as was expe rienced during January 1S93, they will keep in good condition with what they find in the fields and woods Mithout prepai'ing forage. Where will one find a more ideal sheep range than the Piedmont re gion or the lower southeastern slope of the Blue Ridge, having au altitude of live hundred to one thousand feet above the sea, a re gion extending from Northern Vir ginia to Northern Alabamal “Here the mountain range breaks the force of the cold si ornip from the northwest, aud the air is sufticient- ly cool, dry aud rarifled to prevent the deliilitatiug ami unhealthy ef- iects of warm weather. Here is a belt twenty to forty miles wide and nearly a thousand miles long that will in time be fanious as a pastoral region. “With regal d to mutton as food, the South needs more than is sup plied at present. More mutton and less pork should be used, ancr- iu time—and not a very long time— ’ts beneficial effects would be man ifested in the improved general health of the people, aud in their greater ability to resist the nat ural conditions of a warm cli mate. As a summer or a warm weather meat food, mutton is ex cellent. It is very digestible, highly nutritious, contains a large pi-oporlion of protein, very little carbohydrates, and as a universal food far Southern as well as Nort h ern latitudes has few equals and no superiors. North Carolina enjoys a home field lor her mutton products, has easy access to Wasniugton. IJalti- more, Philatlelpliia, New York, .Cincinnati, Louisville aud numer ous smaller cities, all of which are within easy iciich of the field pro duction. and would consume large quantities of her mull on, if it could be supplied promptly, in good cou. dition, when most needed. “The wool side of sheep hus bandry is too freqiicutly pa.ssed over with indilference by farmers in these days. Wool has been on the underaide in this light for so long that mutton has been allowed to obscure its importance to the Sheep faruier. The new’ wool tariiT, small foreign supplie-s, the inade quacy of stock on hand, the insuf ficiency of the present clip, the unnsnally large demands for wool ens, the prosperity' of the people and the steady growth of the na tion, are all factors contrtijuUng toward higher prices for wool and toward a larger wool consumption in the nation. Those sectious which increase their flocks most rapidly, enlarge their wool products most appreciably, aud pay most atten tion to sheep husbandry, will gath er most quickly the largest returns from this prosperity'. •‘North Carolina is So well adapt ed to sh eep -1 reeding th^t it cannot "be mo" wool-growing will be one ol ner- Is the Country Prospering? “Just think of it,” exclaimed an employment ag^nt in Chicago last Wednesday to a representative of the Times-Hei^ald, of that city. “Six dollars a day fot 'engineers to run threshing machines, a day for feeders, for good sack ‘Aen, and $2.25 and 82.50 for common harvest hands, iadudiug board. This is the word fVom Minnesota aud the Dakotas. Thefft is no hot air about the figufes. They are offered by good people with cash fay. And yet the big farmto in the Northwest complain that they can’t get hands to harvest their wheat.” The same iufotination comes from Duluth, Minn. A dis patch from that city says that the labor shortage iu that neighbor hood is greater than eVer, notwith standing the fact that wagM have been laised, every inducement of fered to workingmen, and even In dians brought in to help. Among all the proofs offered that the country is prospering these facts are the most significant. They show' that the good times have reached right down to the common laborer and that he is getting hiS/ share of the returns.—Philadelphia Press. The above speaks for itself. The cahimity waileis continue their vo cation. How can men who profess to be interested in the growth and development of our country, try so hard, for partizan pui poses, to re tard it ? Can they not see the bad eifect of stirring up strife and dis content ! Change front, gentlemen, aud let oar best efforts be directed to the liuilding up of the waste places, the encoui’agement of law and order, aud the betterment of the gi'eat masses of our fellow citi zens. Is it not wtrthy of serious consideration 1 There Are Courts and Court.?. We notice in a contemporary the statement that “the Supreme Court” decided that the Wilming ton & Weldon Railroad property should be listed for taxation. Yes, it was the Supreme Court of TUB UNITED STATIC, au in stance, and a daily living instance, that this “foreign” “outside” court is a part and parcel of our judicial system, if not the most re- hable iu doing justice; and seeing tliat justice is to and among and by our own pet>ple the one towaid an other. Aud another living instance of this fact, which we may' as well mention as w'e go along, wherein this “foreign court” stood between our people and degradation was when it decided the infamous civil rights law to be unconstitutional. Yet Federal courts are denounc ed by shallow demagognes as“ for- eign courts,” Federal judges as in- termeddlei’s intruding themselves aud their jurisdiction into our local affairs w henever they undertake to perform the duties of settling mat- tera in dispute between citizens of different states, whenever, forsooth, they discharge the duties contem plated by the constitution of the United States from its adoption. Such poppy-coek will uotleadany one of the few' demagogues who thus traduce the only courts that would or could turn our people out of jail when our own state offi'jers had placed them there aud our own judiciary was exhausted, aud w'ho traduce' the jurisdiction of the court that defended us from the civil rights crime, into tiic United States Senate. This may as' well be put into the pipe and smoked. —Raleigh Post. North Carolina Adviince. Mr. M. V. Richards, the indus trial agent of the Southern, was the principal speaker on Tues^ before the Immigration trial association ' / Falsetto K ey Note. At the ptflitical barbecue at Old Fort Saturday the proposed con stitutional amendment was discuss ed by persons who favor the pas sage of that measure. It was the first meeting of the amendment campaign in the State, aud its man agers h ^ put forward their best talent, so that it was to be expected that the strongest defense possible would be niade of the proposed measure. 'W'e are told by several of tihe amendment i>aper8 that the “key note of the campaign” was struck by t'hfe^ speakers. We have therefore examined their utterances carefuUy. Our distinguished towns- maii, air. Lpcke Craig, was uu- doubte^y tlie man best able to strike this key note; and we truly believe he did so. We believe, however, the note as struck will be out of harmony with the music of the campaign when the latter has been prolonged to the point of reason and argument on more than cue side. Here is the “key note” as struck by' Mr. Craig: “The proposed amendment to e constitution disfranchises the egro. It will rob him of his pow- jr in North Carolina. We are told by some of the opponents of the amendment that it will also dis franchise a large number of white people. It wiU not disfranchise a single white man unless that man swears that he is a n^ro, or the lineal descendant of the negro. * '* We wish that peace may e.xist be tween the tw^o races living in con tentment together. AVe desite that our politics will be elevated and purified.” Mr. Craig aWays expresses him self iu good langucige, and our only regret iu this case is that the good language does not state the facts as they exist. The fa<!ts art; 1. The proposed amendment, if passed, will disfranchise some ne groes. ! 2. Those it disfranchises it will rob of pow< r. Those it doesn’t it ■n'on’t. 3. The proposed amendment, if passed, will disfranchise some thousaiidsyhitemen. If it is emas culated by the supreme court it wUl disfranchise nrauy thou.sands more white men. 4. The enactment of a law that would disii-.mchise some, or even all, of the negroes in the state, would not have the slightest effect in conducing to ‘‘peace between the races.” The tendency, oii the other hand, would be to aggravate race troubles. I Number! 4 may sound like an opinion, but we speak trom'the ex isting fact^ in the other states that have triedj the experiment we are asked to try. Where today is the most disjiurbance between the raccsl In Sonth Carolina, Georgj;*,' Mississ^ipjji In So'utir'Carolina the negro is “rob bed of hisi power” by legislation— he 110 longer coiints or is counted. In Georgia his vote is snowed uuder an eighty thousand Democratic ma jority. In Mississippi legislation knocks him out, and in Lonisiaiui the constitutional amendment pro posed for North Carolina has been passed and a polltiail gang rules the State, aud the negro’s vote is counted no more than the white man’s. There is no use in specula ting what a proposed law will do, when the same law csin be seen in operation, and the facts are open to the observation of everybody. These, as show'u iu the stsites we have mentioned, are that the races live leffi at peace where the legislation discriminates against one and in favor of the other than in.any other States in the union. iVs to ithe other counts in the at Old Fort a.s a ^ proposed “ ite men statement “key note, amendm( or w leading live-stock ind-.istries, and she wiil be reiipiug benefits from her wool and mutton.

The foregoing article should be thoughifally considered by our farmer friemls. This section is well suited to sheep and cattle raising, and there is good money in it. Our farmers should raise sheep and cattle and make manure for improving their lands, and not de pend so much on commercial ferti lizers. Make your improvement permanent. Buy nothing you can make at home. If the press of the State would devote more time and space to such subjects and less to partizan politics, ourconntry would soon forge .ahead, and much good would follow.

The in crease of farms had been 215 per ceut since 1859, or an average of about 30 pei? cent for each ten i years. From 1890 to 1898 he said, ^S'orth (Carolina’s population has j incfejised 197,000.

In the manufacturing line he shows i that North Carolina had made a commendable advance. The in- ci-ease in the number of manufac turing enterprises is 3667; capital invested $82,000,000; number of employees 38,214; wages paid $7.- 000,000 ; raw material consumed $32,000,000; finished pi-oduct $40,- 000,000; All this is only the in crease from 1890 to 1898.

All illit erates of foreign parfiut^e, who do not conform to the lineal descendent requirement, are disfranchised. We are not straiuing the poWt to Siiy that some of these will be “single white men.” In 1908 and after wards every' man who comes for ward to register, he be white or black, who cannot meet the etln<»- tional requirements, will be dis franchised. The experience of oth er states, as well as our own, provfcs ' that under the most favorable cir cumstances and with vastly increas ed appropriations for public schools, even allowing that the j)eople will grant the increased taxation for this purpose, eight years can re duce the illiteracy of the state but by a small per ceutage. So it is a fact that thousands of white men would be disfranchised by the pro posed amendment, even with the grandfather clause as a^protection to those w^ho are able to register under it. But our belief is that the grandfather claiiSe w'onld not be allowed to stand, in which cjuse every White man in the state w'ho c juld not non' meet the educational requirement of the law would b6 di^ranchised. If the eonstitutiou- al amendment is passed a test will be made in the courts on the Uneaf descendant section. This certaiidy must be faced by all who vote on the amendment and ’ft* amount of assertion on the part of l&ose who desire the jiassage of the -amend ment, or of eloquent talk o& othec features ot the measures wh’iie ig noring this fact, can withdraw it froni the controversy over the pro posed Statute. The constitutional amendment is aimed to serve no useful purpose. It will strengthen the dangers of machine politics in this state, it will disfranchise white men atid black men because of their poverty aud the poverty of the State that deprives them of the educational opportunities, and needlessly stihlulates ill-feeling be- tw'een the rac'es, Next to the elec tion law passed by the same l^is- lature that drafted the amendment i‘ is the most harmful legislation ever proposed for this state.—Ashc- ville Gazette.______ It Ls W ell to Know.

The scarcity of water from which the new town suffers is not, as might be supposed, the cause of this regulation.

A movement has been started in Texas to brin;; about the incorpora tion of manual trainiug in the curri culum of the public schools in the State. The matter is in the hands of 'j a State committee of thirty-two mem- ^bers, which has planned for a thor- ___ nization in the State, with the declared o.biStJfoT classes and prpfessioos in a general educational reform looking to a more practical and common-sense system than: now obtains.” V. W. Grubbs, the Chairman of the committee, savs that '*a false standard of personal re- specUbility is largely responsible for present industrial conditions—a standard which unfairly degrades manual labor and unduly elevates professional and literary callings, causing the adoption of a false edu cational system based upon this un* just discrimination.” It is now possible to travel frcm New York to Boston by trolley cars with only one short break in the en tire distance, and, if present plans do not miscarry, it will soon be possible to travel in the same way from Phila delphia to Harrisburg, Gettysburgaud Baltimore. Already one can travel all over the eastern section of New Jersey and the western section of Long Island by trolley lines, and it is only a question of a short time when ► one can travel from bany, Troy and Sarat{)ga by thi^'iaine means. For that matter, it is only a question of time when the more thick* ly settled parts of the United States wUl be covered with a network of trolley roads. Under the influence oi the trolley system, street cars have become almost as much of a necessity to farmers and other inhabitants of rural districts as they have to resi dents of the larger cities. n c w m i m i V om t LHy Stot Dead.

As the genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured by the California F ig S vrup Co. only, a knowledge of that fact will assist one in avoiding the worthless imitations manufactured by other par ties. The high standing of the Cali- FOBNIA F ig Stkup Co. with the medi cal profession, and the satisfaction which the genuine Syrup of Figs has given to millions of families, makes the name of the Company a guaranty of the cxceilence of its remedy.

W hile there we m et our old friend, K ent Blair, now a thrifty, prosperous druggist. W e also met the genial Postmaster, J. W . Mullen. In Salisbury we met a host of friends, m any of whom formerly lived in old Davie. Salisbury has grown more in the past few years than any town in the State. The copper mines near there, the Southern railroad shops, and its cotton mills, m ake it full of life and vigor. It is growing rapidly, and the prosperity which has come to our country is showing its effects per ceptibly at this place. For both we wish success, and m ay they continue to grow and spread out and become giants in manufacturing, and m ay their enterprise and energy have the effect of stirring up our business m en to the importance of establishing manufacturing plants here.

Mr, Price is a Davie county young man, a grandten of Mrs. Ann Hobson, of Jemsalii!!^ and is a successful young aUomey. Some time ago we made mention of the fact that J. A.

The conserative old burg is wak ing up in good earnest, aud will soon be the scene aud the center of an industrial energy and prosperity not surpassed iu the State. The discovery of rich copper de posits in various sections of Eowan county, the establishment of a large cotton seed oil mill, aud a savings bank, and the proposition to invest $100,000 in an electric light plant and a sewerage system in ftilisbury, in addition to extensive aud profit able enterprises already in opera tion, must give that town aud county a new impetus of growth, beneficial to those communities and the State as well. And an additional, most gratify ing item of the correspondence is as follows: “All of our farmera in this sec tion are happy over the large crops that have been made. This has certainly been an excellent year for them.” When the farmers prosper the oountry prospers; but when, with prosperous farming is united the industrial enterprises now estab lished and contemplated, that sec tion must gi’ow rapidly in wealth and the contentment which follows generous returns for honest labor. The Post rejoices iu such reports from any scction of the old State. Mocksville Produce M arket.

Miscellaneous Notes. According to the official report of the Geological Survey for the year 1898, a summary whereof has been given out, the mineral pro ducts of the United States for that period amounted iu value to $697.- 880,020—an increase of 90 per cent over the value ot the output of 1880. As the population of this country increases at the i-ate of 50 per cent, in twenty yeai-s, the ratio of increase iu our mineral products will certainly afford no comfort to the dismal theoriots who hold that population has a tenden cy to outrun the productiveness of the earth.—Philadelphia Record. During a recent thunderstorm in Berlin most curious effects were produced by the lightning on the persons who were strucL Some of the strange freaks performed are described as follows: “None of the wounded have extensive burns; the wounds look as if caused by a charge of grain shot. The holes r-each to the bone, and are surround ed by a web of blue and brown lines. Many of the injured have quite a number of such wounds in their feet and ankles, while others got oif with a skin covered with blue and brown markJ,.agjf^^35ateu with a ^cJbrMSck."
