W e landed at Cros.s Roads Church that night, and partook of the generous hospitality of oiir friend, D. I. lieavis, Fsq. M r. Eeavis is a m er chant, tobacco manufact-irer, farm er and fruit grower, of whom Yad kin has cause to be proud. He hafi oue of the finsst peiir orchards we ever saw, and the frnit cannot be excelled. H e raised 75 bushels this year, and we can bear testi- timony as to the delicious flavor of the Keifer, grown in old Yadkin. Our friend tells us that he sold his crop at from SI .2.5 to §1.50 per bnshel. W hat he is doing can be done by others, and is but another argum ent in fiivor of diversifying crops as well sis manufacturing. W e have a great country, aud its future po.ssibilities can only be measured by the genius of a, tree people unham pered by bad and vicious legislation. May its graat pos-sibilities unfold a.s the years roll by; may its wealth increase, and may the peace, contentment and happiness of the entire people of the State grow and develope in as great or greater ratio than its wealth. May th fir love for free l-jm expand and m 3uUl a scutiinent of universal good will toward each other and all mankind. W e must go on. for we have now leached Y’adkinville, the county -eat. A goodly crowd was assem- dled at court. Judge Robinson pre siding. W e were quite nnwell but iuet many friends, andadded many new names to T h e E ecord ’s snb- I scrijition list. It was our pleasure to make a few broken rem arks at the noon recess. A ud while we may nol have done as much as our friend Nelson, of the Ripple, gives iis crcdit for doing, we at least told the people on which side of the question -re were, and where we would be found during the coming campaign, battling for human lib erty and freedom, the rights of the great common people of Xorth Car olina. W e were too sick to do our be.st, but we trust we gave our friends the enemy, an idea of the burial of the amendment and elec tion law lu old Yadkin at the next election. May it be done decently and in order, and to the satisfac tion of those who love their coun try and their State better than their party. AVhere are you, Bro.

ISingham, of Davie county died suddenly at the Sol dier’s Home, near this city. He was sitting on the porch of the Home when the summons came. Xo one was with him . But soon his room-mate, Dr. W illiams, came along and seeing him with head hung down, apparently asleep, put his hand ou his shoulder to awaken him. Then it was discovered that he vas dead. Dr. Bingham was 75 years old, and duringthe war served gallantly in the Sixteenth North Carolina cavalry. H e entered the Home lasi April. He was a brother of Dr. James E. Bingliam, of Siilisbury. The funeral will be held from Ihe Home this afternoon at 3:30 o’clock, and the veterans aud oth- era iu tlie city are iu>’ited toattend. The burial will be in the Confeder ate cemetery. The above is copied from the Xews and Observer of the 26th, and it is with siiicere regret that we are called upon to •chronicle the deiith. of Dr. Bingham. W e had known him from our youth tip, and we always had the highest regard for him . H e was tor a num ber of years clerk of Davie superior court, also deputy clerk. H e was a faith ful, honestoffieial, and for honesty, integrity of chanicter and faithfal- uess iu tlie performance of duty, no oue stood higher. A good sol dier, a good man gone. P^;Ce to hisM bes. > ' ., The Republican claim that the proposed constitutional amendment will disfranchise ignorant white men is thoroughly uncandid and intend ed to deceive the people. Under the son and grandson claube of the proposed amendment every white man in Xorth Carolina, unless it be the ignorant foreigner or igno rant descendant of a foreigner, will be allowed to vote, be he ever so ignorant aud poor. It is true that the voter mnst first pay his poll tax, or be e.xempted from paying it by the proper authorities, before he can vote. W e believe this is right. The sound, healthy man who refu ses to pay a poll tax, after being protected in his life, liberty and propertj' by the law, should not be allowed a voice in the govern ment of his countr,y. The consti tutioual amendment is intended to stop the ignorant negroes from vo ting and still perm it the ignorant white man to vote, and jf its pro visions are not broad enough to accomplish this object, a way will be found to do it. The Democratic party lirst gave universal suli'rage to the white manhood of North Carolina, aud it will never favor anything which takes it away. Our Republican office holding friends see that the amendment will silence tliat dark arm j' of voters—the ig norant negroes—whom they have been accustomed to leading to the polls like sheep to the shambles for many years, aud hence their frenzied opposition. If we believed the administration of the proposed amendment w o u ld disfranchise white men, wo would oppose it with as much \ Igor as :iny Repub lican now opposes it; but. s.eeiiig no such danger, we heartily shj,' port it, seeing in it au opp.irtunity to forever rid the Sta le of a large part of the vicious negi-o vote- If is aimed at negroes aud not white men.—Statesville JIascot. W e believe the Mascot has got ten itself into a hole, and we pro pose to provp it. Bepublieaus, so far as we know, do not claim thai the amendment will disfranchise all illiterate white men, unless the courts hold section 5 uncoustitn- tional, which we believe it will. The poll tax clanse will get learned and unlearned alike. The Mascot says: “ If we believed the adm inis tration of the proposed amendment would disfranchise white men, we would oppose it with as much vig or as an.y Republican now opposes it.” Now, Mr. Mascot, does it not disfranchise all wli.'te men who can not rend aud write any section of the constitution of Xorth Carolina after 1908, provided the.v have not registered on or before the 1st ot December, lOOS ? Xow, in all can dor, wil! not every white man who cannot read aud wiife who applies for registration after December 1st, 1908, be disfranchised by the ad- miuistratiou of this amendment? If the editor of T iik R ecokd knows himself, and “ he believes he do,” he has no desire to m isrcpicsent this or any other question. W e would like to hear from some of our Democratic friends ou tliat beautiful elec tion law of ISOO. W ill not it in its operations, /^ ic tly following the letter of the law, and the spirit of its makers, disfranchise thou sands of white voters ? If a man cannot read, be he white or black, can he reiisouably be expeeted to put his ballots in the right box, and if he gets them in the wrong box is he not virtually disfran chised by tlie operation of section 29 1 Brother Mascot, if the above is not true, prove it to me, and I will give my readers the benefit of your elucidation of its mysteries, which lie hidden and concealed beneath its unh:illowed designs. Turn the light upon this election law. if there be a light that will penetrate its da rk and unholy de signs. P ut us in the way that we may lead our friends, the great common people, in the paths of truth, right and Justice. Shed your effulgent i"ays all around aliuut us, for the good of our fellow man. Lead us, gently lead its. so that we fall nof in a snare, a trap set by designing men. to perpetuate party bossism and machine rule in fairest Carolina, “ the land of the free, the home of the brave.” We want, n'e need Dcmo<!ratic light on this election law.

O maha , N eb ., October 24. To the People’s P arty Voters: As a member of the National Committee of the People’s party, I consider it my sacred duty to keep the voters of the party informed T3garding matters that vitally con cern its future. I have known for some tim e that a conspiracy has been hatched in this state to de stroy the independence of the Peo ple’s party, and now have the ab solute proofs. Populists must decide whether they are willing to be delivered and merged into the Democratic party, a party of corruption and stnpid opposition. In Nebraska, especi ally, the Democratic party is hang ing like a leech to the People’s party. In the South we all know that its supremacy is due solely to the suppression of a free ballot. Not content with selecting Popu list office-holders, the corrupt Dem ocratic machine of this state wholly and absolutely dictated the plat form of our last state convention. D. C lem D ev er . The above clearly shows the ob- jectg and intents of the Democratic party. Butler and the leaders of the Populists in this State were abused and denounced by the Dem ocratic speakers and papers. Last year the m ajority of the Populists went over to the Democratic party, aud their organization is about gone. As soon as the Democratic party completely disrupts the Pop ulist party it will repudiate all of doctrines, and hunt up other issues to fool the people. And they don’t want pie either. T h e B ig h t to V o te. L ou isvili .e , K y ,, Oct, 24.—The Post to-day prints an interview with Senator Lindsay, in which he says: ‘•The real question in Ketucky ii, whether the people are to have t ie right in 1900 to decide for themselves K entucky’s position on nttional issues. The right of a Kentnckian to vote as he pleases and have his vote counted as he casts it is far more im portant to him than the settlement of any na tional issues. Responsibility lor t \e defeat of the Democrats will be with those whi organized and con trolled the Louiiville convention.” Ex-Governor Brown is confined to his bed, and it is greatly feared that he will l)e incapacitated from active service for the rest of the campaign. A t a non-partisan mass jmeeting, composed of 500 of Louisville’s rep resentative citizens, to-d.iy, notice was served on municipal officials that any attem pt on the part of the city adm inistration to use police in securing an unfair election would result in violence. Senator Lindsay but voices the sentiment of thousands of voters in North Carolina. V irtually the same conditions exist in this State, only worse, for we have an election law if anything worse thaj^ the ''-''■ibel law of Kentuii.T ich the Simmons & t ’6., wish to force an unjust constitutional amendment down the throats of a free, liberty- loving people. Freemen, liberty- loving Xorth Carolinians, read the above and see 'w hat is coming to pass in a nearby State. Violence is threatened against the nsurpers of the rights and liberties of the people. A re we ready, are we wil ling for a like condition in our be loved State? God forbid; may the Democratic party' realize the true situation and refrain from its un holy undertaking before it is too late. M utterings can be heard now —peace, prosperity and happiness are with us, and the future seems bright, save and except the cloud riiised by an unscrupulous set of demagogues, bent upon perpetua- ating machine rule, and ruin in this State. _________ The ]>opulists and republicans are generally distres.sed for fear the constitutional amendment will dis franchise the ignorant white man, but we beg to assure them that the ignorant white man will not be in terfered with 80 long as he is wil ling to vote the Democratic ticket. —Durham H erald. The above is an honest confes sion, and we will add to it by say ing that if the negro will vote the Democratic ticket he will be eared foi by the enemy of law, order and justice. Some of our Democratic friends have been making some very broafl assertions about what they are going to do. W e ad\'ise them to call a halt, for we are de. termined to assert our rights nnder the law and constitution. ‘•If this be treason. mftke.Bie most of it.V S t o v e s ! S t o v e s .

But the beltei that Great Britain is ou the verge of a crisis, or even a conflict far greater than l^iatin the rransvaal, ha? many supporters, enough the lacic of all ofncial coulirmatiou favors the conservative views that tbe re- markable military and naval activity is due to a desire to take thorough precau- tfons which, though ominous, have at present no special bearing upon Great Britain’s European relations. Tbe Neues Wlener-Tagblatt, of Berlin, publishes a telegram from the Transvaal Legation at Brussels announcing that Dr. Leyds baa received formal assurances that Franco and Bussia will not permit Great Britain to annex tbe Transvaal or tne Orange Free State. This is discredited, however, as it is pointed out that evon it this were the intention of the powers men tioned they would not allow their hands to be shown prematurely through tbe medium of Dr. Loyds.

Choate, by the Canadian Minister o( 3In- rlne .ind Fisheries, Sir Louis Henry Davies. I t IS as follows: . . . - That tho boundr.ry line be arbitrated upon terras similar to those Imposed by the United States and Great Britain over Venezuela, particularly those provisions making fltty years’ occupancy by either side conclusive evidence ot title, occupancy ot less than that period to be taken as equity allowed under ioteroational latv. That, as a condition precedent to and ab solutely pieliminary to arbitration. Ska* guny and Dyea would be conceded to the United States without further olainx it Canada received Pyramid Harbor. In other words, Canada gives up much or the disputed gold country iu return for a seaport, but stipulates that she must get the latter before sho agrees to arbltrato the boundary ilne. It is said on good authority that Can ada’s new position was greatly influenoed by imperial pressure, and it can be stated deflnltely that Mr. Chamberlain advised the concession of a.** much as po.ssible lu order to gain a port of entry free frotn United States control, with the professe«l reason that commercial advantages would accrue therefrom. But It Is said that the ulterior motive Is to increase British naval strength by making Pyramid Harbor a strong naval station. Begardlng tlio probable action of the United States In the.'io altered conditions, British ofBclal opinion Is that the Unlte<l States, having been granted Dyoa and Sbaguuy, cannot refuse to accept the identical form ot arbitration they com pelled Eogiand to lake toward Venezuela. This course Is contingent upon the United States deciding that the old Bering coun- try Is moro valuablo than Pyramid Harbor. THE JIKBING SiiA CL.4I9ES.

But of the companies have not paid this tax. and that's w iy the State s Tr^s- uror .vesterday issued a circulau- let ter to the sheriffs of the stotc calling their attention lo sectioa 62 of the rc7- enue act of 1899 (which, by the way is the same as it has been for the past ton y«ars), and adding: •‘1 have the names of «ome compa nies vhich have not complied with the requirements of this act. but which are evidently subject to the U x imposed thereby. To the proper officexs of the companies 1 have to eay it is made my duty to collect this tax, and 1 ^ un- dea- bond to properly perform the du ties of treasurer. 1 therefore must in sist that immediate paymen. of all taxes due under this section since the organization, or beginning of work on your line or exchange, up to close of quarter ended September 30, 1899. snail be properly remitted with certified ac- fKjunt of same to this department at once, and that hereafter remittances and reports shall be made promntly at the close of each quarter, as provided in tho section imposing the tax.” This section (62) of the revenue act referred to is as follows: “ Every express company, and every telegraph or telephone company doing busineifs in this State, yhall pay a tax of two percentum in its gross re ceipts within the State. The superin tendent, general manager cr other chief officer of every such company shall mtake return under oath to the treasur. ei* of the State within ten days after the first day of January, April, Ji’ly, and October, of the amount of gross re ceipts of rae company for the quarter onding on the last day of the month immediately preceding, ajid pay to the treafeureo* the tax herein imposed at the time of making such return. It shall be the duty of each sheriff to re port to the treasurer any such com pany -doing business in his county. In case of default of such return and pay ment of tax the company shall pay a penalty of one thousand dollars, to be collected by the sheriff as the treasurer of the State shall designate, by distress or otherwise. Provided, no county or corporation shall be allowed to impose any additional tax, license or fee, ex cept ad valorem tax.” TAR HEEL NOTES. N ew C ctnpanies.

Near Lumbertoa Thursday night, as a young white lady, her sister and small brother were going from cliurcn. £ld. Blount, a negro, made an assault upon the young lady about a mile from town. H e tore her clothing from her trying to pull her into the woods. She escaped but he pursued and caught her a secoQd time. H e then attempted to assault the younger sister who easily outran him. Finally they got so near their home that he left them. H e was arrested befo-re midnight Judge Bat tle suspended the Williamson murder trial.

The constitution pro vides that three-quartei’fs of all the poll tax collected, which i-5 not special, shall be applied to the eduoational fund, and so when $2, the constitution al limit, is collectcd, $1.50 ought to go to that fund. Some counties make a report of all the property listed for taxation, but when they report this as divided between the T^iaitcs and blacks the aggregate of the two does not tally with the total for all. Efforts are be ing made to CLfrect this error.

There are now no colorcd troops la North Carolina. There was one com pany at Charlotte, but when^ it was mustered out of the regular army at the close of the Spanish-American war it was not reinstated in the State Guard. This was done in conformity to the following, from an act passed by the last legislature entitled, “ A n act to establish and provide for the militia and for the support and maintenance of the State Guard.” Section 1. That section 2 be amended to read as fol lows: That the v. hite and colored mil itia shall be separately enrolled, but shall never be compelled to serve in tbe samo organization; provided, that no organization of colored troops shall be permitted while white troops are available, and that when permitted to be organized, colored troi^ps shall be under the command of white officers.” This clearly shuts out any colored companies from tho State guard. The Stnte is to be well represented at the Paris exposition, according to a Raleigh correspondent.

But as an earnest of Its zeal in the matter, the board of agriculture today appropriated $2,500 lo supplement the United St.tites gov ernment appropriation, and to have the State wpU represented. It is the expectation that there will be a fine di.=play. T . K. Bruner, the board's secretary, will gather the collection.

In order to give our 50 cent subscri bers an opportunity at our free gifts, we have decided to withdraw the bug- gy and bicycle otEer and substitute a No. 7 cook stove complete, and a nice 3-piece oak set of furniture, respect ively. All who have subscribed under the first offer will be entitled to an other tieket, or, if they prefer, we will take up their ticksts and refund their money. All who pay us 50 cents cash for 6 months* Subscription will get a ticket; all wno pay us one dollar will get two tickets. If you owe us any thing, this must be paid before you are entitled to a ticket. W e m ake this change for two reasons: 1st, to ifive those who are not able to take the paper one year and pay us one dollar, an opportunity for 50 cents to pet the paper 6 months and an oppor tunity at one of these free gifts. 21, That we m ay be able to distribute these presents in a m uch shorter time. Read this carefully and see that it is fair to alli Those who have taken tickets Can retam them and get their money, less the time they have got ten the paper, or you get another ticket, giving you two chances when you now have one.

I opposed the ratificixtion of that treaty, but I have not publicly criticised it since, as I felt I could hardly do po. Mr. Bryan was in W ashing ton while the treaty was under con sideration, and urged all the Dem ocratic Senators to vote for it. However, he has since been very prououueed in his pol-'cy towards the Philippines. “ I do not think now', and did not think when the treaty of peace was iinder consideration, that it was wise for ustoanne.xthe P hilip pines. The inhabitants of the islands form an olla podrida such as we do n^t care to have iu our country. B ut they are annexed now. The proper view^ of the sol dier and the citizens is that we m ust not retire nnder fire. W e are there, and m ust make the best of it. —Eiehmond Dispatch. The above languagj of Senator Daniel, a Democrat from Virginia, shows that the Senator is an Ameri- C.II1 and v. liile he opposetl tlie treaty he now believes in standing by the Go\ernment. llr. .iJryan look it upon himself to go to W ashington and urge Demoemtic senators to vote for this treaty, and now he is i flying over the country making speeches from the re ar end of a car iu opposition to the government policy. H e is a shining light of consistency to say the least of it, e.specially is it so in a man Avho aspires to the presidency of a great nation. H is position reminds us of the expression‘‘now I see it, now I don’t.

But let not Eome think that a change of policy with regard to the Piiilippines will prevent tbe over, throw of iguor-inceaud superstition in those Islands. The natives have caught the spirit of liberty, aud are now’ opposing the United States to secure I heir independence and lib erties. W hen this country shall re turn to tie principles of Ihe Decla ration of American Independence and the thejry that all political power is derive froui the consent of the Goverued, aud consedes to those Islands tlieir inalienable rights, as will be done, they will not bow to the reli.gio-js tyranny ol Eome. Many of them will see that religious liberty is the mother of civil freedom, and throw off tne yoke of priest craft and bccomc free indeed. The above was clipped from the Salisbury Tri’th taken from Dr. Stallings paper the Index. The Eflitor of T he K eoobd is not a reli.gious man in the sense of be longing to any church, b'.it he be lieves in the religion of humanity rcligeous, civil and political free.

JUDGE SIMONTON’S DECISION. H ands D ow n an O pinion in th e RiUl- road Cases. Judge Sinionton’B opinion in the tax assessm ent case, in wliich lia CT-ants an injunction against th e cor poration commissicu, Auditca: aaa T r e a s u r e r to prevent the levied for 1899 from being collected on fcne Southern SeabDard A ir Lina. At lantic Coast Line and A tlantic and N orth C arolina railroads, and directs th at She assessm ent ot 1897 raall stand, is a long one, m aiiing five newspaper columns. The . allesation by the railroads was th a t In m alting the ass.e3 smcnt, the corporaton com mission had exceeded iU pow er; th at the mode o t assessm ent was so dif ferent from th at as to other property as to there being egual protection ot ;aw; th at there is system atic under valuation of property ot'ier tihan ra il road property and th at rallroau property is valued higher than tta t of individuals. The questions raised are Federal questions, under the fourteenth am endm ent. Each case de pends upon the construction and ap plication of tho II. S. constitution. If the staltittes under which tihe cor poration commission acts conflic. with the ITnited States CDnstitution, then the commission and Stalte oUl- eers. acticg under its proceeding, may be enjoined. The question as to whether the commission has power to levy asses.s- ment on tlie property ot railroads is decided negatively. The act ot 1S91, creating 'the railroad commission, gave it no power to levy assess- mcsts That act was effective iu April, while the machinery act ot 1S31, which gave power to the com mission to assess, was ratified in March. It therefore amended the commis.sion act. It would be an anomaly if tho amending act should precede' the act amended. The legis lature of 1899, in creating tho cor poration commission, declared that It should perform all duties and exer cise the powers imposed upon the railroad commission by chapter 32, acts ot 1S91. but that chapter con fers no power to assess. Chapter 687, acts ot 1S97, authorizes the rail road commission, corpopation com mission, or such Ijoard as shall suc ceed to their duties, to assess prop erty which has escaped taxation. This act recognizcs the existence ot the railroad commission and its powers and leaves to intei’ene^ entirely the idea tbat one is substituted for the other. It no other act crea,tes the corporation commission into a board of appraisement and assbssment ot railroad property, this act cannot do so by indirection. It must 1)6 borne In mind that the legislation now under discussion is not remedial legislation. In conclusion the Judge says that on the whole the conclusion cannot bo resisted that either intentionally or accidentally' the corporation com mission was not clothed with the power of appraising and assessing railroad property, and that its at tempted action, herein complained of, is without authority of law. Saturday Clerll of Court Riddick received Judge Simonton’s opinion in the-above case. The proposed as sessm ent would increase - the rail roads’ assessm ent $9,000,000. It Is construed here th a t the decision means an Injunction granted until a hearing. The clerk sent the opinion (12 pages) to a printer, so as to have It ready Monday morning. It is to be regretted, that this con clusion renders unnecessary the dis- cU'SSron of the merits of the case, presented so ably and fully by coun sel on both sides. The conclusion reached, while It stops the hand ot the court, now simply postpones the decision on the grave questions un derlying the case. This postpone ment, however, will not operate ta excuse the complainants from the payment of taxea. The provisions of the revenue act ot 1897 are in full force and taxes therein provlde-i must be paid. State News Notes. Sales of gold mining property in the John's river gold fields in Burite and Caldwell countica within tho past two weeks aggregate about J15,- 000. Besides the sales already com pleted, a number cf tracts are held under option. Walter Brem has ne gotiated the sales for a Virgiaia mining company. The amount of apples placed on tho North Wllkesboro market Is enor mous. The price paid is from 20 oents to 45 cents onjy for the finest of apples. The Atitorjiey General decidcs that SpaTks circus is by law to pay 550 tax to the State and S50 to the coun ty for each day it performs. The owner of the circus says he caainot pay this tax and v/ill leave the State. State Auditor Ayer says the re turns from the counties show a grati fying increase ot taxable values this year. These figures v/ill not appear in this year’s report, but in that ot 1900. So tar the returns are in from 57 counties and these show an increase in the value ot retd and per sonal property over 189S of J9,833,- 000. The quadrenniial assessment is made this year and the increase is due perhaps, the Auditor thinks, to good work by the assessors in some ciiunties. Every one of the 67 coun ties shows an Increase, ranging from $1,000 to over $1,006,000. Mecklen burg leads, with $1,200,000, Increase. OtJher counties showing the- largest increase so far reported are Bun combe $596,000, Forsyth $549,000. Rowan $538,000, Beaufort $468,000.

Indeed tho increase in exports is al most solely dne ‘I*® growth ot ex portation of mauufactnres, but for which the exports of tho year wonld fall below those of last year. As to the increase in imports, it is divided between materials for loauutaclnres and tropical food-staifa which wo are u n a b l e to supply from home produc tion. T he exDoriation ot mannfactures in the eight months ending with Aagnst is 315,000,000 greater thau in tho cor- repponding months ot last year, au increase of twenty-tno per cent.

Cotton mannfactures also show m gratifying increase, the exports ot the eight months of 1899 being $16,- 861,022, against $12,877,088, in tha corresponding months of last year, while the exports ot refined or mann- factnred mineral oil amount to $35.- 744,586, against $3I,3S3,637 in the eorrespondiug months of last year. .Tn importations tho increase is largely in articles nsed iu mauutae- turiug aud the classes of food-stuffs not lirodneed in tho (Jnited States in snf- ficient qnautities to meet local require ments. Most of these, whether m a terial for the manufacturers or food- I stnffd, are the product ot tropical or ' anb-tropical regions.

This brings the stoi^y up to the outbreak on the evening ot the 4th of Pebru.-iry, with the au-ack iilioii the American troops follonir.e ina iction of the Nebraska •‘sentinel. T.lr. coirntission, in concluding this chapter, says: ‘’Dcplorablft as war is. the one m which wc are now engaged was un- a\o:dable by us. W e were attacked hj a bold, adventurous and enthusiastic army. No alternative was left to us, except ignominous retreat. U is not to be conceived of that any American would have sanctioned the surrender of M anila to the insurgents. Our obliga- ticnv to other nations and to the friend ly Filipinos and to ourselvca and to our naK demanded that force should be met by force. W hatever the future of the Philippines m ay be, there is no courae open to us now except the prosecution of the w ar until the Insurgents ai'e re duced to submission. The commission |3 ot the opinion that there has been no time sinc-e the destruction of the Span ish squadron by Admiral Dewey when It was possible to withdraw ocr forccs from the islands, either W ith honoi to ourselves or safety to the Inhabitants. Tho conimission then takes up the condition of the country at the time of their arrival, comparing It "'Ith the cci.dilions existing at tne time they left, a short time ago. A vivid picture is given of the anarchy existing among th^ Inhabitants in and about* Manila during the early spring. The report then speaks of the issuance of the com mission's proclam ation and the good affect it had on public sentiment. The nai'I”es, accustomed to Spanish prom- ist^. urged upon the commission that acts, Instead of promises, should be given them. As result native law coAiris were established and this greatly aided in the restoration of public confidence. The* flow of population soon began to sei toward the city. Natives who had tied from their homes returned. As shewing the l.m itcd scope of the rebel- lioi;, the commission staled: "We learn ed that the strongest an:i-AmerIcan feeling was confined to the Tagalo provinces, namely, Manila, Caviie. L.a- guna. liatangas. Morong. Bulucan. Xueva Ecija, Principe. Infanta and Zcir.bales. It waa strongest in the first six named and hard.y existed in the last fcur. The populaiion of these provincts is estim ated to be about 1.500.000, but it should not- be supposed that even in lh€ six provinces immediately adjacent to M anila the people were united in variab.y rtiused even to discuss*” The commission adds that nothing came uf tho n€got!al‘or.s, as Aguinaldo> emis saries v;ere without power and merely came, anil came ai:ain. Cor information. The report sums up the result of tho33 I'ruiUes!? exchang 2s as follows: ‘No better proof couJd be furnifiied that- »ne prnnary object of his struggle is nol. as in prf^teiided, the liberty of the V:\i‘ pino reoplcis. but tho continuance of his (Aguina'dn's) own arbitrary and des potic power. In any event, the Ameri can people may consider that no ef fort was omitted by the conimission to secure a p< aceful end of the struggle, but the opportunities they offered and urged were all neglected. If not indesl spurned.” The chapter devoted to “Capacity for Pclf-Goverument” Is the result, the re port states, of diligent inquiry for sev eral iron tbs. in the course of which a great rum ber of wJinesew were ei.- am ined. of all shades of political tbwUght ar.d varieties of occupation, trib'i and locality. The most strikln;; and perhaps the most significant' fact In thf entire situation is the multiplici ty of triofs Inhabiting the archlpelagj, the clivtifiity of ihelr languages (which are muiusll> unintelligible) and tne niultlf.^rious php.^es of civillzatiun, ranging all tho way, from the h.ghest to the lowesr. As to this the vepcrt sa.va: “Th.- Filipinos are not a natl)n. bui- a variegated assem blageof different trllMss and peoples, and their loyalty is still of the tribal tvnp ” tHioir intelUcival :apaciMes, tlic com- mls.«ion f.ays: “As to general intellectual capacities of the Filipinos the commission is <Ls- pcsed (o rate them.high. B ut .excepting ill a limited num ber of persons, these capacities have not been developed by education or experience. The m^ssos of the peopleareuneducated. That Intel- l€gent public opinion on which popular SOV*triimont rests does not exist in the P«iilipi)*nes. and It cannot exist until education has elevated the masses, broackiicd their Intellectual horiz.n a:.d d'Stiplined their fac:,;iiy of judgip.eni. Aud even then the power of seif-gjv- erum ent cannot be assum ed without ci.nylUerable previous uaining and ex- reriencc under the guidance and tuta- lege cf an enlighi-enod and liberal sov- ercign power. For the bald fact is that the Filipinos have never had any e.\ perience in governing thoTnp^lves."'

Throughout the archipelago at large there w m trouble only at those points ery of the insurgent “government' ifb syf.tem, the commission sum s up on this point: “This is all the training in self-sovernm ent which the inhab:ta:Us the Philippine Islands ha’.e enjc’-r.d, Thoir lack of eviica;ion and politica* o.pc.'icrce, combined with their racla: and linguistic diversities, disqualify them in spite of their m ental gifts and domestic virtues, to undertake the task of govcrnins the archipelago at the Acci'ptcd. ®2ss—“So Tom had the impudeccc to kiss ycu last night.” Tess—“Yes, but he came around today to explain. ’ He said: T m forry if I hurt yot:.

It is staled that the insurgent adm inistration throughout the Interior was worse than in the days of Spanish m isrule: In m any provinces there w’a r absolute anarchy and from all sides came petitions for protection and help. As to the state of affairs when the commission left, tho report says fields were being planted and the people, pro tected by our troops, were enjoying peace, security and a degree of partici pation in their own government pre- \icusly unknown in the history of the Philippines. The chapter devoted to “Estublishm ent of Municipal Govern- nients’* gives in detail the efforts In th at direction. There w^ere many difli- culties encountered. The tow i^ of Bacoor and Im us were selected for ex- perim enu and after talks with the local “head men” a local form of govern m ent wa3 established. Encouiaged by the result, work was continued in Las Plr.as. w*ith sim ilar good results. A t the request of General Lawton, who had been assigned to this work by G^n- er.'il Ciis. the commission prepared a siniple scheme of municipal government sim ilar enough to the old syst-em to be comprehensible to the natives, but giv ing them ilberties which they had never k«*fc^re erjoyed. This scheme was adopt ed, and gave general satisfaction. Gov- errm ents were organized with more 8at:8factorj' results in Pandance. Santa Ana. San Felipe. Merl, San Pedro and Mache!, while a slightly different sys tem wa.s put into effect In Malabon. Polo, Obando, M eycauya. Tang and Malolos. The commission sums up the situation a t the tim e of their departure as follows. “W hen we left M anila a large volume of business was beins done, .and * the streets were so crowded as to be hard ly safe. The native population was quiet and orderly and all fear of an up rising had long since passed. An eifl- cient corps of native policemen was on duty. A system of public schools, in w^hlch English taught, had been fatality be withdrawn, the commission believes thut the governm ent of the I'hlhijplnes would speedily lapse Into anarchy, which would excuse, if It did not n?cessitat6,.the intervention of oth er powers, and the eventual division ' / the islands am ong them. Only throygh- Amorlcat! occupation, therefore, is th« ide^of a free, eelf-governing and unit-* ed" Phihppine conunonw e^th, at all con ceivable. And the indispensable need from the Filipino point of view of main taining American sovereignty over the airhipeiago Is recognized by all intelli gent B*lLplnos and even by those Insur gents who desire an American protec torate. The latter, it is true, would take tho revenues and leave us the re- spcLsibilities. Nevertheless, they recog nize the indubitable fact that the Fili- pir.oF cannot stand alone. Thus the w elfare of the Filipinos coincides with the dictates of national honor, in for bidding our auaziuonment of the archi* pele..go. W e cannot from any point cf view escape the responsibilities of gov- enim ent which our sovereignty entails, and the commission strongly per- svoded that the performance of our ua- t'lc-nal duty wUl prove the greatest ble&sing to the peoples of the Philippine Islands.” One of the closing chapters of the re port is devoted to a tribute? to “our soldiers and sailors in the war.” The commission says th at the presence of Admiral Dewey as a member of this body makes it unfitting to dwell on its personal achievem ents, but he joins in the eulogy of his comrades. The com mission witnessed some of the many brave dc^eds of our soldiers, and they declare th a t all the skill, courage, and a patient endurance can do. has been done* in the Philippines. They dismiss ' the repo; IS of the desst^ratlon of churches, the m urdering of prisoners and the com m itting of unmentionable crin49*«nd*say they are glad to express the belief that a w ar was never more humanely conducted. The commission givos a general view of .he value of the islands, their riches In agricultural and forest prcducis. their m ineral wealth, and their com m anding geographical position. They state that the Philippine Islands should ;oboiars were in attendance. In the Tagalo province of Luzon, where the anti-A m erican feeling had -si'—n gircngest, public sentim ent had greatly changed as evidenced by the fact that the m ilitary governor of Bataiigas had oKored to surrendei his troops and his prc-vinoe if we would only send a small force there. The Bicolas, in southern Luzon, had risen aganlst their Tagalo ai-.cestors. The M acabebes \ver<> clam oring for an opportunity to fight in cur ranks, and native soldiers and scouta wcie already serving under General Luwton. Stories of the corruption of insuigect officers were becoming daily m rie common, and the disintegration of the enemy’s forces was steadily pro- greEhing. The hope of assls&ance from oul&ido sources seemed to be all that held them together." H aving given so much attention to the island of Luzon, the commission then taiices up in detail the conditioAs In the other islands. On this point it is stated ibat the rebellion is essentially Tagalo and tha»t when it ends in Luzon, it mufit end throughout the archipelago. Special attention is given to the island of Negros, aa this seemed a field well adapted to the extension of aj» Ameri can system . Here the natives had adopted a local form of governm ent, in cluding Congress, and had raised the American flag.

FROM OUR REGCLAR CORRESPONDENT. W ashington, ?Tov. 10, lf99. President M cKinley and the members of his cabinet held an im promptu jollification over the mag nificent endorsement of the foreign and domestic jx)liey of the adm in istration by the voters in the State elections. In every Stale w^hei'6 the campaign was sqnai'ely made on national issues, the Republicans were victorious. The Democratic success in M aryland had no sig- nificence whatever, M n g merely another proof of the maxim that “ a house divided a,"ainst itself cannot stand.” President McKinley was not surprised at the size of Judge Nash’s plurality in Ohio, as he told Senator Clark, of Wyoming, several weeks ago that It would probably be between 60,000 and 70,000. and made the same preflic- tion to Senator Pritchard, of Xofth Carolina, the day before election. Secretary Gage is especially pleitsed at the largely increased Republi can majorities in Iowa, where the platform eame out flat-footed for the single go’d standard, and in Massarhusetts, where Atkinson and other “ little Americans” have been trying So hard to create a senti ment against President M cKinley’s I^hilippine policy. Secretary Gage said; “ The Republican party ought to congratulate itself on the result in all directions. I am pleiiscd with the big Republican victory in Massachusetts. Thac State has been the hotbed of the anti-expansionisls; and It is good to see Massachusetts give such a victory to the auti-Aguin,aldoists.” Secretary Gage showed his delight with the re.=iult in Iowa l).v sending the following telegram to Governor Shaw: “ Please accept heitrty con■ gratulalions upon tie increased sound nioney majority in your State upon plaVfo.in de. laring for the gold sta.nd»rd find calling upon Congress to pul it into law .’' Prominent llnpii ijlicans in Wash- ingtou expreHsod themselves as fol lows on the elections: United States Land Commissioner Her- inaun: “ The result in Ohio is mote significent than the result in any >ther State. The fi.i'ht was largely upon an endorsement of the admin- istintion and the policy involved in war issncs. It points with an T H E C O M F O R T .

To prove this call on us. W e do not want any man’s pat ronage nnless he wants to give it to us. This article is not written to beg any one to patronize us, but we do want to c,ill to the memory of our Republican friends how they ncglect Republican enterprises and patronize Democratic industries. Take the nenspaper for instance. W e have two Democratic papers here in a conuty that gives a thous and republican majority! And these papers get a good per o«nt of their support from Republicans who give their patronage to a Dem oci-atic paper in preference to a Republiciiu paper. Democrats will not do so. They always support their own institutions lii-st, and by doing so they have bnilt np a press in the State that is a jwtent power lor Democracy, and the Republi cans have given them liberal aid. Take the Democi-atic psvpers out of the Democratic party and they would have the worst disorganized thing on earth. W e doubt if they would be able to hold a conven tion, much less carry an eleclion. If the Republicans had enough newspapers. North Carolina wonld be one of the stronge.st Republican States in the Union. A nd we have enough Republieins to support strong and able papers, but it seems they prefer to support Dem- ocratie pape!*», which take {jreat delight in (:>.;!ing us the “jiieger party, ’ and such oliicr abuse as they want to put on us. Understand, we are not begging you to patronize the .Tournai. W e hope to succeed as we m erit suc cess, and not by special party fa vors.

The above artiide, from the W ilkesboro Journal, contains so much truth on a subject that we regard of vitnl importance to the Eepcblicau party, that we give it space in our paper. W e do not believe in boycottisni, ostracism, and a great many of the other isms, bnt we do believe in standing by ones party organs. In so doing, We do nor advise Republicans not to patronize Democratic paper.“, for everyone who is able should read both sides. But always give preference to your owu party pa pers. One becomes biased by look ing at any subject from one stand point.

Leading Republican politicians assert that President McKinley will re ceive a second nomination and claim that the vote just taken is a popular indorse ment of the Administration's policy in the PMllppine.«. The roauUs iu the various States are as follows: In New York member.? of tiie Assembly were the only State officers voted for. Tho Republicans elected nlnety-twi> and the Democrats fifty-eight, giving a Republican majority of thirty-four. Robert Mazet, Chairman of tbe Legislative Investigating Committee, was defeated in bis race for re-election from the Nineteenth Assembly District iu New York City by Perez Jl.

Three days after the election both sides otaimed victory, the State Chairman of each party esserting that his ticket has a plurality of about 4000. Newspaper returns from Republican sources give Taylor a plurality of 3,489, while those from Demo cratic sources make Goebel’s plurality 941. Feeling among tbe factions has been aggravated rather than allayed by the developments. Excited meetings have been held In many parts of tbe State to protest against frauds which it was alleged wore contemplated by the leaders. Nothing short of the official count will determine therasult, and it was a foregone conclusion that tho announcement of that count would simply change tbe scene ot oonfilct to tbe courts or the Legislature, where It will appear in the form of a con test. _____________________ FILIPINO SUPPLIES CAPTURED.

Iu reply I regret to say th a t the prospect is not good for an early paym ent ot the some.

Unless tie receipts are much greater and tho aistrarsem ents m udi »maller, I do not think the condition of the Treasury will be such as to adm it of the pay m ent of Mie aJwve appropriation be fore the latter part of the year 1900. “Regretting th a t such is the case, I Your* very truly, “W. H. WORTH, "Btate Treasurer." The law mateing th e appropriation is ao worded th a t th e usual formula, "out of any moneys not otherwise ap propriated," li omitted. The flrat section oays "th at the sum of »100,- 000 be, and the sam e Is hereby appro priated, annually from tho State Treasury for the benefit of the public schools.” This wording, therefore gives this appropriation precedence of all other soedal appropriations.

W hile the appropriations for I hia year are largely Increased, the sources from which revenues are obtained Were cxtaided. The increased appro priation* generally put the expenli- fures of :he State upon the basis of ^,000,000 anntuliy.

PrrrnHnm ih« H«n H o w s For WlnUr. It is nerer too early to begin the bnilding and preparing the henuery for tbe winter, and tbe man who doea this trork earlj ic sure to have com* fortable <piartera for the laying hens }Q6t as soon as the cold weather comes. It is better to add a little to the houses each summer, and thus extend the bnsiuess on a firm basis, than to invest too much at tbe begin* uiug. W e learn better then by esper ience what wo need. Fancy farming does not pay, and ihoso t;ho liave elaborate buildings are not always tho ones who have the beat success. Consfract the main bnilding on slight elevation, if possible, where there is good drainage, and ou the lee side of some hill or other protective object. This will shield the house from oolc storms, and make tho quar ters far more comfortable for the chickena. Build the house low and substautml. A high house lets in too m uch cold air, and a low oue is al ways warmer. Opening into this main roosting building there should be a scratching shed into which tho fowla can go on stormy days and have all tho cxercise they need. This shed should be so arrauged that tho roof can open in places to admit tho sun shine on clear days. W e have many wintry days when it would be very comfortable in any place, if tht> wind could be excluded aud fbo suu ad mitted. T he laying hens iu particular will appreciate such a scratching shed in the winter. T he laying shed should also open out from tho maiu building, and this should be made long, low and very tight. T h e hens ahonld be made as comfortable as possible while ou the nest, and this can bo accomplished only by bestowing special care iu the construction of such a shed. Iu build* ing all of the henhouses for winter uao it will pay to give fitoue or brick foandation the whole leugJh. This will keep out rats better thon any- thing else yet devised. Besides, it makes the houses warm, dry and durable. Then let the brick founda tion run up a foot above and a foot below the ground. Tho cost iu bricks will bo m ade up for in the extra n u m ber of eggs and heus saved from tho rats. The roof aud sides should havo tar or builders’ paper tacked on be tween the outer and inner walls, aud all knot: holes and chinks will thus be filled ID. T he yard for tbe chickens to exercise in should bo couuected with these buildings by a TUU w'ay. T he yard shoald be large enouqh to give the fowls ample room to riiu about in without crowding against others. On'pleasant days they should be m ade to stay out in the y a r d .^ Farm , Field and Fireside. I Ucrices For narrekthtc Corn. ; Xot every m an knows how to stand ; up a shock of corn which will not { twist or lea;i into an unrecognizable i mass after it has had time to season, 1 says a writer in the Iowa Homestead, frcm which tho cuts are reproduced. W h e n I put up corn by hand I always use a jack like that seen iu figure 1. Pull the jack along to the place where the shock is to stand, so that the Egc“ and Envly MoUiiij:. ly molitirs make good winter aud it is safe to say that if , Itry <lo not finish sUeddingfeathers j ire ooIJ weather sets in, they will j likely to postpone laying until i iag, hnt sach ones will prove early leg la^erF. aud continue laying all ^mer, nbicli will be full compensa- for the ^'iuter'.s inactivity, wiib the matured.fowls, so with 'latebatched pullets; they soldom Id layiu^ until spring.

Tie the shock when done by means of a contrivance shown in figure 2, composed of a pole five or six feet long, with**8 rope put through an auger hole in the pole. This is thrust through tho shock two-thirds of tho way np, and the rope drawn around the shock as tight as it can be drawn and m ade fast to "the polo while the shock is being .tied. ^ shock made in this manner aud ^-foperly tied will stand a long time v id will stand well. If the corn is to be hulked out before it is to be fed to stock, a husking bench, shown iu tho second- cut. ^ will bo convenient. This is carried op alongside of a shock which is tipped over ou the bench. T he busker seats himself ou ihe seat and begins’-working the stover tovrard him, and w hen he gets a bundle of convenient- size it is bound and laid asido, and so on until all is husked. This prevents missing any, and it ia far more convenient to sit thau to kneel down in the m ud or snow. In hauling in the bundles I have found it very convenient lo load from the rear part of the wagon by walking np a running board, which hangs ou. the rear of the rack and is dragged along to the next shock all tho time. The rear post of the hayrack should be removed, and two short, stout cor ner pieoes nailed on just high enough to not interfere with loading, but which wiU prevent th^coroerbuaches of fo d^rslip pin g off.

Shalt Concrete “ The shell concrete pavements of Macon, G a .,” saysStone, “ are attract ing considerable attention at present, and the following particulars concern ing them appear in an engineering ex change: The material used is a shell limestone similar to the coquina of which buildings were constructed ia St. Augustine while it was a Spanish colony. There is a bed of this stone about thirty miles from jVlacon, which was discovered during the construc tion of the Georgia Southern and Flor ida Bailroad some years ago. Part of the roadbed of that railway was made of it, and it hardened into such a dur able form that several carloads wevo brought to M acon and laid about tha freight station, where it resisted tho wear of the heavy trafiic unuanally well. After it h ad been in the service for four or five years, the city paved ^ street having oue of the heaviest grades in Macon with it, and this first street gave such satisfaction that sev eral more have since been paved iu the same manner. About 35,000 sciuaro yards arc now iu use, and petitions for 10,000 more are on file. ^ “ T h o stone is crushed aud laid on the sub-grade oxcavated. to reaeivo it. The layer is about seven inches deep at first and is consolidated by a fif- teeu-ton steam-roller to a thickness of aix iuches, being; spriuitled at inter vals. O n heavy grades a gaiter is formed by mixing cement with ihe 3toue. Tho pavement costs from fipy to sixty cents a squarei yard,which iu- eludes crushing and labor, and is re ported to last well and remaiu un- usually free from ruts. It has beeu found lo require comparatively little iprinkling and to sweep well, although i softer broom than is generally em ployed for street sweeping must be flsed on it.” ____________ T h« Palrrinen Interested* Ex-Governor W m . D . Hoard, the president of the National Dairy Union, is a strong advocate of good roads; his sxperienoehas taught h im ho w essen- iialthey ara to dairy farmers. M r. ffoard has most forcibly stated the jase from the dairyman’s standpoint. “ M odern dairying,” says Governor Hoard, “ is usually grouped around the creamery and the cheese factory. O u good roads, w'here from one to two tons of milk can bo hauled to the fac tory with ease and safety, the coat is aatarally lower than where a m uch less quantity can be hauled. It fol lows, then, that the condition of the roads is a direct living factor in the 2ost o£ hauling. A limited calcula tion would give you, I think, a new view of the situation.' There are in one State, for instance, about twenty- live Jinndred factories and creameries, fo cach one of these every morning there comes an average of, say, fo^^J farmers with their milk. N o w , that num ber of farmers or creameries rep resents 100,000 farmers w ho certainly Dught to be interested in the improve- [uent of roads from a business stand point. In all kinds of weather, ©very morning in the year, rain or shine. 7O0d roads or bad roads, must they take their milk a distance varying from half a mile to five miles to the factory, ind haul their skim milk back over the same route. Dairy farmers, as a i-nlo, are tho most enterprising and orogr^ssivo of aoy class of farmers, bocs not tlieir own foHune as well as 20od nam e require that ‘they get :ogether* at every cheese factory and jreamery and unite co operatively lor ID inteihgent building of good roads.

The experts on the staff of the labora tory at our works force a drop of t»ie stuff into the stomach of a small frog, "Which is then placed in a delicate m a chine called a kymograph that records Its heart beats on a strip of paper. The digitalis may be perfectly dead and in ert, and It may be strong and active— no chemist could tell tho differenct^ but the kymograph gets at the truth with iufalUblc certainty and the sam ple is graded accordingly. The frogs used arc little fellows not over two inches long, and they are rather hard to get. Some time ago -wc' sent tne house a consignment from N e w Or leans. but they proved to be too laree. W h y do wc use such small ones? Be cause it takes less of the drug to af^ feet them. It’s merely a matter o£ economy. “Some of the other tests are stiu more curious,” continued the drug man, “and none queerer than that or ergot. To ascertain Us active proper ties a small quantity Is injected Into a full-grown rooster. If the drug Is up to standard strength tho comb of the fowl soon begins to turn, blue and eventually becomes almost black. Tne power of the particular sample on trial is Indicated by the deepness of the dis coloration. This test is the only rel a- ble one known and Is exceedingly vam- able, because ergot has a strange tricls oC occasionally losing all Its medicinal properties without showing the slight est change lu g-neral appearance. H as heesh, which has figured so extensively in romances of the Orient. Is known scientifically as Cannabis Indica. it is tested on dogs. W h e n the drug s all right the dog econ begins to get dopy, staggers In its walk and eventu ally keels over and dreams dreams. The necessity ct testing hashecsli -rows out ot a very singular fact A s most people Unow, it Is made from the blossom ot Indian hemp, but it Is only the unfertilized female flo-ner that has any narcotic properties. The male Howers and the seea-beaiing lemal^ flowers m e absolutely valueless, but all three look alike to the naked eye. So does the tincture prepared from them. and. like, the other drugs men tioned, it doe.sn’t yield to analysis. These tests will give a fair Idea o£ the modern method of gettins at facts about medicines. They are only a tew out of many. Altogether. I .tuppose that upwanl of a dozen different ani mals are used, each selectsd because of its sensitiveness to some special pre- iiaration. .

One of Sir Thomas’ British friends heard it, and thought it was so good that he called a friend up to hear the conundrum. The one summonfd camo all expectancy. The enthusiastic ad m irer of the story could not w ait for the young woman who had originally sprung the Joke to repeat It, but start ed to tell it himself. “W hat slang expression which you have In America pleases a pussy cat?" he asked. “Why, smooth her back.” v»^as the re ply, and the answ er brought out a greater roar than iiad gre>?ted the original story.

They do not want many negroes disqualified, V>ut if negroes are disqualified to any large extent, then they want many whites also disqualified. They therefore strive hard to make sec tion live appear unconstitutional while declaring that the other set;- tions will stand. The unlettered white man can have no woiw ene my than he who labors on the one hand to prevent disqualilic.'ition ol ignorant and incompetent blacks, and on the other hand after the adoption of the amendineut en deavors to prevent unlettered white men from voting by insisting tlial section five is unconstitutional and shall not stand, and that the bal ance of the amendment shall slaud, thus demanding at every step that the unlettered whites, notwlth- staudiug their gi-eatl.y superior natural and acquired qualifications, shall be forever chained to equality with unlettered negi-oes.— W .

Winston Churchill, son of Lady Randolph Department has given out « circumstan tial account of tbe conspicuous gallantry of Ensign W. K. Gherardi, in tbe ro»»ent terrific hurricane which swept across Porto Rico. It was forwarded by Captain Snow, I commanding the United States naval sta- tion in Sau Juan, who inclosed letters of Lieutenant-Coionel Carr of the Fifth Cav alry and others concerning the daring of the exploit.Captain Snow also called attention to the fact that the ensign now was in the Naval Hospital iu New York, as a result of th*. exposure aud hardship undergone at that time. Ensign Gaorardl twice before has been mentioned for conspicuous gallantry. The statement forwarded to the depart ment shows that, when the storm was at its height. Ensign Gberyrdl and J. J. Jloi- inez, a civil euRineer, ran along tbe beach to the polut nearest the sliippJng, which was dragging anchors through the *erriflc force of the wind.

The conclusion was reacted ; that the last is preferable, because‘‘ varnishing tho eggs with vaseline takes considerable time, and treating them with lime-water is liable to giv« them a disagreeable odor. There is one drawback to the water-glass method of preservation; tho shell easily burets in boiling water. This may be avoided by piercing the shell with a strong needle. T h t North Dakota Experiment Station has been making tests with tho water-glass method of preserva tion, and has found that a ten per cent, salution of water-glass prerervea eggs so effectually that *‘at the end of three and a half months eggs that were packed the lirst of August ap peared perfectly fresh. In most packed eggs, after a little time, the yolk settles to one side, and the egg is then inferior in quality. In these eggs preserved in water-glass the yolk retains its normp.I position, and in taste thoy were not to be distinguished from fresh, xinpacked store eggs.” Water-glaes can be produced for about fifty cents a gallon, and one gallon will m ake enough solution to preserve fifty-dozen eggs, so that the cost of tho material will not interfere with its nse. If this latest bulletin of the department gives an impetus to the business of preserving eggs, con sumers must beware.

In too m any barns the windows be hind the cows are made of board, fit ted to slide back and forth. Uoard windows are used because manure is i thrown out of the openings, and it is ; feared glass would be broken. Hence | the cattle have dark and unhealthy j quarters. Glass w’indows can be ar ranged so there will be no danger of j breaking them. They can be fitted , to slide to one side, slipping in behind • z cover of boards, or they can be made ' to drop, as shown iu the cut, or to | rise, being protected by boards iu I front, not shown iu cut.

In tho differentia tion of tactile im pressions no rem ark able differences were observed betweeti the seeing and the blind, or if small differences did exist they were in favor of the seeing, in those bom blind the tactile sharpness was somewhat less than in the seeing, and in some cases the sensorium generally w'as equally defective. The blind in particular fesl less acutely w ith the tip of the index finger than do those who see, and in many cases the tactile acuteness of the tw'o index finger tips differs. In the blind, especially in the region of the hand, a stronger impression is re quired to produce a tactile impression than in those possessed of sight. In the capability of localizing impressions of sound no difference exists betw’een the blind and the seeing. In both great individual variations occur. As a rule, both in the seeing and the blind the use of the organ of both sides gives better results than the use of one alone. Xo difference in the acuteness of hearing exists between the blind and those who see. No relation was observed between the acuteness of hearing and the power of localizing sounds in either the seeing or the blind.

F o r a long time it has been gener ally supposed that milk w’hile still warm from the cow’s udder was less susceptible to odors than after it had become cool, but D r. H . L . Bussell, the emiaent Wisconsin bacteriologist, has shewn this to be a mistake and that warm milk actually takes o n ; more odor than does cold under similar conditions. This is nn im- ; portant discovei’y, and throv.-s much | light npon theproperhandling of milk ' for best results. ! Clean milking, by clean hands, in , as pure a stable atmosijhere as obtain- ; able, must ba supplemented by a , rapid .lud thorough cooling of tho milk. Cooling at once lessens the | capacity of the milk to take up odors, ! arrests the process of fermentation, ; and, if well stirred during th&cooling, I the cream is kept from rising to the I surface and will afterward more surely j remain mixed with the milk while j being distributed from tho wagon. | These are valuable considerations for ; milkman w ho desires to give his j customers a good service. For us tho simplest and best way to accomplish all of these good results is to have a tank of ice water in a room near or adjoining tbe milking room. As fast as the pails are filled, take immedi£.tely to the tank and pour the milk into tin cans, which are suspended in the ice water. Have an agitator in the can while being filled. The simplest and best form for this is not unlike an old-fashioned churn dasher, only m ake the dasher of a piece of tin six or seven inches in diameter, soldered firmly on to the endof awire handle, ■which had better be galvan ized and have a loop in the end to hang it up by. T w o or three plunges with thiii implement in a can of milk each time that a pail is emptied will be found to be very efiective in agi tating and consequently in cooling the milk. W e m uch prefer this simple and ef fective method to any of the more elaborate and expensive ones, and it is our experience that milk so treated will keep longer than as though ex posed to the atmosphere iu a fine spray or a thin sheet, in neither of which case are any germs removed, but it is reasonably certain that even under very favorable conditions, a few are added to the milk. M ilk or any other fluid will cool m uch more read ily v.'hen brought in close contact with water than in air, even though the air is considerably colder than the water. This is especially true of milk in tin cans or glass jars. If one must have an aerator, he should choose one through which water is run for cool ing purposes.— F . W .

Both among the blind ard the seeing there are persons 'who have many, others who have only a few. and others again who have no illusory or erroneous im pres sions of ^ touch. These results are in m any respects opposed to generally re ceived opinions, for it is usually sup posed that deprivation of sight leads to exaltation of the acuteness of the other senses, especially of the touch and hearing.

C ., mauufacturers of the M urraj ginniug and oleaniug Rystem for tbe territory eant of the Mississippi river, have their most attractive exhibit in tbe ngricnltaral building. This ex hibit is attracting more atteotiou, per- hapi>, than anything of its kind above at the fair. The bystem of cleaning is tbe special feature which is dem and ing the careful atudy of onr cotton, (jioners. Tho locks cf cotton are tl'orongbly separated before enterioe the gin, aud the dirt and leaf frox the cotton are discharged by means of na ani'er and carried into a box specially iittacbed for that purpose. W o regard it as a fortunate thing for tbe cotton ginners of Georgia that this exhibit was placed at the State fair, for we are confident that unr people will see tbe wonderful merit of it and that it will replace many of the ordinary gins now iu operation. It is estimated that by the use of this system tha cot'ton vilj run at least two grades higher. He’s a Contractor. Flim —W hat’s your business? Flam —Contractor.

The State Snpi-eme Court appears fo have gone Republioan yesterday in all of the political cases before it.—Charlotte Observer. Tiie above is in line with Demo- •riitic incousistency, and is a little ■surprise to us that our usually fair Vieuil, Caldwell, .goes so strongly .^'‘cnK'cratic in the.'^e political cases. If one will lake tSse troulik- to Kik over !ho iilcs of Denjoeiiai • vapei-s for 1897, and see thqt this s;inie eonrt was lauded and highly .'ommended for deciding adversely to the claims of Populists and Re publicans, who were in the Siime position of our l>em(wratio friecds to-day. one will be able to judge ot their very great inconsistency iu such ci'.scs, and will reatlily see that it makes n big ditference whose o?. ;m gored. The opinion written by Judge lurches is concise ami to the point, '.nd while he may have committed ui indiscretion in alluding to (he I decision, but the motive actuatiu)' I the court should first be determ ine«l; and we should presume a good I rather than a bad motive, in ab sence of proof, Man is huiniin and liable to eri‘, but we should not be hai-sh iu passing judgm ent u])on others, for we all err at times. “ God reigns and the government still lives,” and we should, a.s good citizens, uphold law and order, and forever bless our forefathera for establishing a form of government that give-s to every man a remedy for every vrrong. And whenever the courts become subordinate to the other branches of the goveru- ineni, liberty, ju.- i ice and right will forever take their flight, .'lud an- i.rchy, chaos and revolution will reign snpreme. In fouclusion. may ‘ihe press of the State wield its power and infl.i- enc(- alv. iiys iu behalf of the right, reganlle.ss of political( cusequences. The rights, the liberties, and the welfare of the people is more im- porfant than the siiceets of any political party. AVe are now gi“.»vciy told, and it is emblaz(Mie;l npini the renords of our highest court, to go swinging down the ages with nu)re or less alarm to skittish generations yet unborn, that our courts have no right, implied, expre«se<l or winked at, to stay the execution of a bad act of a bad legisl.itive body; tliat the only relief the people as a body politic or as individuals ciui get is through other representatives elect- legislature.—; motives which actuatol the Legis- ^d to a succeeding laturc, we all know that he simply Morning Post, Dem. itated a fact—a fact which no one '<in truthfully controvert or deny. The very sjime rule applies to the former I.egislatnre, which attempl- ed to turn out Democrats aud iu- said Mis.s Mary, with fl twinkle ill her eye and without the slightest attem pt to get out of the way. Taking her nonchalance for a wo man’s consent, he gj-abbeil and kisseil her. She promptly whacked him on the cheek with her hand aud then, leaving the room and walking across the hall, said to her father, with the sweetest of sweet smiles: “ Papa, I ’ve been telling Mr. W ildman about 3'onr new gun and he asks if yon won’t show it to him .” ‘ ‘Certainly, with great pleasure, ’ ’ said Mr. Edwards, delighted to have .some one take an interest in his new pet. Picking up the gun he walked with expectant pleiisure into the parlor. Mr. W ildman was waiting, some what doubting the girl’s purpose. W hen the man with the gnu aime in the door Mr. W ildman’s doubts, acconipauied by Mr. W ild man himself, went out of the win dow without even taking the pre caution to raise the sash. Mr. Eilv.aids looked arouud at his daughter dumlt-fouuded. She laugheil till she could no longer Stand. Holding her heart in her | hands, she .said: “ Father, you must j be careful how you go at people with that gnu. Really, it 1 didn’t know you well, I shouhl have been sure several times you meant to 1 •shoot me with it. You must lie I more t-arehil. How am I ever to get married if you run my beaux off like that? Take the hoirid old gnn away.” Miss Mary and her mother ofteu talk, cotto voce, alwut guns, and laugh to Mr. Edwards’ discomfi ture. Mr. W ildman is still mi.ssing. T H E C O M F O R T . W r i t e t o u s o r C o m e t o s e e U s wlieii in town, or give hs a SPECIAL VISIT, it will pay you—you’ll find what von want here.

Tlie BrUisU Victory Won Only After lionjs and Hurd FiffUtiOff — Three lUdffOS in Sacscislon Taken— Deci- Blve Bayonet Chargfi by the Guard*- Tho I-ack of Cavalry, LOXDOK (By O.ible).—The Secretary ot War has received the following dispatch throagh General Porostier-Walker from General Methuen, datod Belmont, Noveai- ber23: “Attacked tho enemy at daybreak tlils morning. Hewaslnatrongposltlon. Three ridges were carried in suecosslon, .the last attact being prepared by shrapnel. Infan try behaved splendidly and received sup. port from the naval brigade and artillery. The enemy fought with courage and skill. Had I attacked later I should have bad far heavier losses.“Our victory was complete. Have taken fortv prisoners. Am burying a good num- of the Boers, but the greater part of the enemy’s killed and wounded were removed by their comrades. Have captured a large number of horses and cows and destroyed a large quantity ot ammunition.” The British losses as officially reported were three officers killed and twenty-two wounded. Including General Fetherstone- haugh; llfty-six men killed, 13<» wounded and tweuty-two missing. The Boers lost heavily, and forty prisoners were taken, besides a great quantity of stores. This victorj' is of special importance, be- ; cause it is the first blow dealt by tbo Brit ish force, acting purely on the offensive, and is part of the development of tho Brit ish plan of campaign. General MetUuen, after the battle, ad dressed the troops, saylog: “Comrades, I congratulate you upon tho complete suc cess you have achieved. Tho ground over which you have fought presents o.xeep- tlonal dlfllcultle.s, and the enemy yvere past masters In mounted infantry tactics. With troo’:s such as you a commauder cuu have no fear of the re.^ult. There is u sad side, and you and I are thinking jis much oC those who died for the honor of their country and ot those who are suCfering as wo are thinking of our victory." From the few details which have reached Cape Town of General Methueu’s* light it appears that Boers from Fin- cham's Farm shelled uu advance body of the British, and the British artillery was pushed forward and shelled a bill whicbtho British subsequently occupied, capturing two guns. The Boer casualties were thirty men killed and wounded. The Boer main column left Fiucham’s Farm during tho afternoon and camped live miles ahead. At daybreak the foUow- lug moruing tho Boers Jlred from tho hilis, 1000 yards distant, on tho Brlti.sh advjince force. Other troops were then pushed up and the engagement became general. The British artillery mado excellent prac tice and silenced the Boer guns. Then two battalions of the Grenadier Guards and the Northumberland lleglment stormed the heights at the point of tho bayonet. Cross ing tho lire zone amid a storm of lead tho Guards and Korthumberlauds pushed up the incllae and reached the summit, doing groat execution with their bayonets and capturing the laager, with guns, equipment, prisoners, cattle and sheep. The entire position was carried by 8 o’clock, the cavalry, consisting of tho Ninth Lancers and mounted infantry, pur suing the flying Boers. Thus far tho special dispatches describ ing the battle of Belmont bearu stereo* typed character, proving that tho band of the'censor bad been at work upon them. They are too incoherent to enable the reader to form an accurate Idea, of tho bat tle or to place a proper estimate upon tho value of the victory. The position of Mafeklng is beginning to be regarded with anxiety, In view of the impossibility of Lord 3Iethueu being able to relieve the town for some time to corny.

MILLER'S "SYNDICATE" COLLAPSES. SezD^ationnl Knd of a Speculative SnUcine Which CaQRlit Many I'ersouK. Ni:w Youk City (Special).—Tho Franklin Syndicate of Brooklyn, the wonderful ten- per-cent.-a-wodk game, the greatest spoitu- lative scheme of i)lunder within the pres" ent generation, has tumbled into ruins. William F. Miller, twenty-thtecj years old, the promoter of the diu;zliug ontor- prlze, was Indicted by the Kings County Grand Jur>* on tho charge of conspiring to defraud. With him, on a like charge, wa.n indicted Cecil Leslie, his pre.ss agent. Miller vanished from tho syndicate Itead- fjuarters, No. 144 Floyd street, Brooklyn, iiboutnoon. Detectives searched for him, but thyy announcod at night that he wa.«j a fugitive from justice. Louis Miller, brother of William, was ar rested at fl.30 at the ofilco of the syndicate. About 58500 In cash which had been taken In during the -day was found secreted un der a sofa in the apartments ot MUs Annie Gorloy, No. 142 Floyd street. She said W'illlam F. Miller had told her to put It there. The astonishing feature of the whole scheme is the stolid conlldence repo.sed in Miller by hi.s dupes to the very last. All day and until D.80 p. m.'the victims thronged Floyd street, denounciog the newspapers and the court officials, and loudly proclaim ing their fiith in Miller.

This none of us can un derstand. Here tis a statement show ing the cost of the management and clerical labor per month before this year and this year. It used to he $298 for a superintendent and a clerk. N ow it is $S09, the latter including superin tendent, purchasing agent, stenosia.- pher, clerk, book-keepei- and execative board. The penitentiary this year got at least $35,000 from last year’s pro ducts. The expenses of running things this year as compared with last year are as 7 to 3.” J__________ U nknow n Jlan Killed.

Shaw, who read a portion of the 90th Psalm, verses 1-C and 10-13.

Through a long lane of , thousands of uncovered head*; the . CDvtage wended its way to Cedar Law n ’ cemetery, where the bo<ly was placed ! in the receiving vault. The city wore its m ost som bre garb j in mourning. All the mills, big bus!- [ ness houses ond stores wera closed.

It is painful to read that Sir .lohu “ Orst, tie head of the British educa tional department, is in serious trouble and has been threatened by Mr. Hbca- Bzer Breach and other taxpayers of the “ ty of Portsmouth, in the kingdom of England, with prosecution under the "imposters’ act." It seems that the schools of Portsmouth have been teach- ilifi the damnable and heretical doc trine^ that the earth is a sphere. Sir John’s attention has been called to this dissemination of seditious and trea sonable doctrine, hut he has refused to correct the abuse. Ehenezer and his friends know, of course, that the earth la as flat as a pancake. They have been patient with Sir John, and day after day have allowed the false teach ing regarding the shape of the earth to go on, hut can stand it no longer, they say. to see their children cor rupted with this most “ heretical doc trine,” as the complainants call it In this protest. Sir John Gorst has many political enemies, and even his politi cal friends do not always agree with him; but the depth of his depravity was not knov/n until he was unmasked by Mr. Ehenezer Breach and his friends. Sir John may cavort about parliament and deceive some people, but when he runs up against a body of respectable British taxpayers, the bulwarks of the throne and the guardians of the consti tution. it is another matter. Such new fangled ideai? as that of the earth be ing a sphere he may Impose upon the frivolous persons who riot iu the un- 3odly city of London, but not upon the taxpayers of SoiKhampton. Ehenezer and his friends menu business, and have served formal notice upon the Portsmouth school board that the teaching that the earth is a sphere "cannot he allowed to continue under i any circumstance?, plea or explanation whatever,” and that it must be aban doned under pain of the “ punishment for schism by the law provided.” After having stamped out the dastardly doc trine in the schools of Southampton, the committee announce that they will next go up to Londou and bring the Txtndon school board before the courts, being w’ell advised and informed that the same doctrine regarding the shape of the earth is also taught in the Lon don scho^\*t Sir John, meantime, is to be brougat u* court and prosecuted under the “ impuftters’ act” aforesaid.

H e had expected great things ofthat turkey. H e tried to swallow one of the ginger spiced pieces, and burst iuto a frightened roar when he found it uneatable. “ See here!” exclaimed Uncle Henry. “ I'll stuff this turkey mvsclf!” Everybody stared. “ I stai ted home with a little present for you, M ary— perhaps for M ay aii I and Jessie, too.

In order to give our 50 cent eubacri- bers an opportunity at our free gifts, we have decided to withdraw the bug gy and bicycle offer and substitute a No. 7 cook stove complete, and a nice 3-plece oak set of furniture, respect ively. All who have subscribed under tb'i first offer will be entitled to an other ticket, or, if they prefer, we will take up their ticksts and refund their money. All who pay us 50 cents cash for 6 months’ subscription will get a ticket; all who pay us one dollar will get two tickets. If you owe us any thing, this must be paid before you are entitled to a ticket. W e m ake this change for two reasons: 1 st, to g ive those who are not able to take the paper one year and pay us one dollar, an opportunitv for 50 cents to get the paper 6 montlis and an oppor tunity at one of these free gifts. 2d. T hat we m ay be able to distribute these presents in a m uch shorter time. R ead this carefully and see that it is fair to all. Those who have taken tickets can return them and get their money, less the time they have got ten the paper, or you get another ticket, giving you two chances when you now have one, _______________ Frank C.
