Lacey, State Commissioner of the Labor ar Printing, who is a prominent cand! date for the Democratic nomine State Treasurer. We be presen! tion for eye that Mr. Lacy should be nom inated for the following reasens: First—He is a loyal and consisten: has always beet Democrat who faithful. There is no firmer believer in the principles of the party— State ard National—and he hes siven his time for their advance - ment. second He isa speaker of power of persuasion and will mak «x Vigorous Canvass of the State. I: ts00 and IS9S, hisspeeches were as in the State. for the part: rar: able as any delivered und votes were made wherever he spoke. Third—He is eminently qualifies for the discharge of the duties of the For. years he has been the financial manager of the Raleic! Wor position. Dime Savings Bank, and the derful suecess which that institu- tion has enjoyed proves him to be « dnancier of rare ability. As State Labor Commissioner he has show tnat he has executive ability of o hieh order, and the faithful way i: which he bas performed everv duty ot the position proves him to b worthy the confidence of the people. of Fourth—He isa representative oi the laboring element of the State. Mor years he ran an engine, and since he left the road hag kept up his friendly and fraternal relation: with his fellows. As the Commis stoner of Labor he has sought to better the condition of the factors operatives and ovher workingmern North Carolina, and there is no man living in North Carolina day who possesses the esteem and to- confidence of that great element of oar population as dees Ben Lacy in this year, when the Republicans will scek to prejudice the workine people against the const.tutiora! wmenudment, no other man in the State can talk to the factory peo ie with such effect as Lacy, their friend. Let us nominate him and scud him into every factory com- munity to correct Republican mis- representaticns and preach the pure Coctriaes of Democracy. The law yers, farmers, editors and other classes will be represented on the State ticket, Why not put a rep- resentative of labor on it too? Good party policy demands his nomina- tion, << ee The Porto Rican tariff bill has been under discussion in the House for several days and was to have heen voted apon yescerday. There “as Considerable Republican Oppo- =itton to the bill, which proposed to tax American imports into Porto Rieu and Porto Rican exports to this country 23 per cent, of the Dingley tariff iaw rates. but a Re- publican conference agreed to cut down the rates to 15 per cent., limit the law's operation to two years and expend all the money collected for the benelit Porto Rico, and ma- ny of theRepublican-opponents of the bill were won over. It is thought tuat the bill passed yesterday by a small majority. Thisisa new ce- parture in American legislation to levy tariff taxes avainst the produé- tions of one section (Porto Rico: is now a partof the United States) when they seek to enter other sec- tions of the same country, and marks the beginning of the empire which the Republican administra- tion seeks to set up instead of the homogeneous republic the fathers eave us. This Porto Rican tariff will be beard from’in the campaign this year. _—_— ee The constitutional amendment questi-n barrows itself down to tais: White men who believe that iznorant negroes should no longer be allowed to vote will support the amendment, while tiose who be- a in 1gn0rant negroeseyotirg | Wii OUpese it.

Turner for the ant Governor has met with such hearty approval in all sections of the State. The indications are that he will receive the nomination. To those who know Mr. Turner. uothing need be said of his eminent qualications for this office and his great strenyth and availability as acandidate. He is a strong mao mentully, morally and physically; olest with a robust common seuse, he intuitively knows the right; jones! and open as the day, he bas ived without fear and without re- proach, his public and his private infe without stain or blemish and he possesses the absolute confidence fall who know him. Heisan ac vomplished lawyer, a legislator of xperience, a bold, ageressive cam- paigner and absolutely true to the eachings of Democracy, without ‘variableness nor shadow ofturn- ng.’’ His name upon: the ticket would be a tower of strength io this section of the State. These are not the exaggerated deas of a partial friend, but is a ‘alm and truthful statement of facts. he Stute convention by nominat- ne Turner will make no mistake. BS ae ea eae ON age The gallant General ,Croanje and iis brave Boers, who were hemmed non the banks of the Modder river »y overwhelming numbers of Brit ‘sh troops, were forced to surrender tor days the deyoted band held out avainst the murderous fire of the ‘nemy’s heavy guns and against aope, in order that their country- men might have time to’concentrate it other points for the defence of ‘heir country, but six or eight thousand men were forced finally to surrender to fifty thousaad, or be an- uihilated. England has succeeded ia getting hermen and guns on the scene of war, and the contest from 10wW on will doubtless be favorable to her heavier battalions. The orave republic will be forced to vield and will‘becomea colony of the british Empire. Eagland wants the gold fields of the Trinsvaal, and she will not allow such small mat- ters us human lives and hberties to staud in her way to their posses- sion. Uriah, the soldier, had a wife. deantiful as a poet’s dream: Da- vid. the king, wanted her,and Unah was placed in the front of battle to be kided. Uriah fell fighting for ‘he king whose covetousness had nim murdered, and Bathsheba was added to David's harem« The God of rizht sent home to. David the heinousness of his sin, und in the death of one son and the rebellion of another he was made to know that he who sins must mourn. The mines of the Transvaal are fabulously rich; England wanted them, and a pretext fora war was sought. The brave Boers will be overcome, the crosses of St. George ind St. Andrew will float from the Capitol ef Pretoria and Transvaa! independence will become but a memory: but in the end, sooner or later, England will, David-like, fee! the siniting hand of God for her cov etousness and injustice. The pity of it is that our country is enyaged in the same business, and is accused of giving encouragement to E:.gland in her oppression of the South African republic. It’s bes1 for the country that the un-Ameri can policy of the present Republi can administration be repudiated. and it looks more and more like the people will do that very thing on Tuesday, November 6th., 1900. See atiinee eee Senator James H. Berry and Gov- ernor Daniel W. Jones are candi- dates for the former's seat in the United States Senate from Arkan- sas. Berry is against expansion. while Jones is an ardent expansion. ist. Saturday three county prima- vies were held and Berry swept them by immense majorities. This shows that the Democratic masses are against the new doctrines which en- danger the republic. oo AMONG THE POLITICIANS. Wayne county Democrats held their county convention Saturday. Charles B. Aycock, of that county, was unanimously endorsed for Gov- ernor. _ Dr. W. P. Craven, one of the lead- ing Populists of Mecklenburg cour ty anda Populist member of the Legislature of 1897, tells the Char- lotte News that he will vote for the ameudment. The Democratic convention of Pender county held Saturday unan- imously instructed the delegates to the State convention to vote for Charles B. Aycock. of Wayne cour- ty. tor Governor. Edgecombe Democrats have nomi- aated Dr, R. H. Speigh for Senator and E. S. Daushtridgeand B. F Sbetton for the House. Dr. Speigh was a memberof the last Senate, while the nominees for the House are new men. National Committeeman Josephus Daniels, of Raleigh, has returned from the meeting of the committee. He says Bryan will be nominsted by acclimation and be elected. He says the feeling among Democrats is one of confidence ina party vic- tory. The sub-committee of the Senate judiciary committee which has Judge Ewart’s case in hand bas again reported adversely to him to the full committee. The full com- mittee considered the case Monday, but deferred final action till next week. It is thought certain that he will not be confirmed. ————> +e -o . In a railroad wreckat Flomaton, Aja..

Mr. Turner has been devoted to Jiis profession and hasa well earned reputation as a learned and accurate lawyer.

In 1888 and 1890. he was re-nominated and re-elected by increasing major- ities and served the people of his district and State with zeal and judgment. Asa Senator he won a State wide reputation as a legislator, being regarded as one of the wisest, safest and most reliable members of that body. Iredell county has en- dorsed Mr. Turner several times fo» Congress, but he has never held pub- motive engineer. For 17 years he ran an engine on what is now the great Seaboard Air Line system without an accident. He enjoyed during ull his time of service toan unusual devree the confidence and esteem of his employers. In the first year of Gov.

It is safe to say that no one in the State is in closer touch with the me- ‘hanics and laboring classes of our State. From early boykood he has »eea ‘“‘one of them.’’ and his influ- ‘nce with them is very great. Mr. Lacy on his father’s side is a drst cousin of the late Rev. Moses 5.

The feeling was doubtless accentuated by the disap- pointment caused when the Boer re- enforcements which tried to relieve General Crovje were defeated by our troops of February 23. I resolved. therefore, to bring pressure to bear on the enemy. Each night the trenches were pushed forward to- wards tke enemy’s laager so as to gradually contract his position, and atthesame time I bombarded it heavily with artillery which was vesterday materially aided by the arrival of four six-inch howitzers which I had ordered up from DeAar. In carrying out these measures, a captive ballcon eave great assist- ance by keeping us informed of the dispositions and movements of the enemy. At3a m. today, a most dashing advance was made by the Canadian regiment and some envi- neers, supported by the First Gor- don Highlanders and Second Shrop shires, resulting in our gaiaing a point some six hundred yards near- er the enemy and within about SO yards of his trenches, where our men entrenched themselves and maintain- ed their positions till morning, a vallant deed, worthy of ovr colonial comrades, end which Iam vlad to say was attended by comparatively slight Icss. “This apparently clinched mat- ters, for, at daybreak today, a let- ter signed by General Cronje, in which he stated that he surrendered unconditionally, was brought to our Outposts under a flag of truce. “In my reply. 1 told General Cronje that he must present him- self at my camp and that his force must come out of their laaver after laying down their arms. By Za. m. I received Genera! Cronje and dis- pa'ched a telegram to you announc- ing the fact. Inthe course of con- versation, he asked for kind treat- ment at our hands, and also that his wife, grandson, private secretary, adjutant and servants miyvht accom- pany him wherever he might be sent. I reassured him and told him that his request would be complied with. IT informed him that a zeneral officer would be sent with him to Cape Town, toensure his being treated with proper respect en route, He will start this afternoon under charge of Major General Prettyman, who will hand him over to the gen- eral commanding at Cape Town, “The prisoners who number about 3.000, will be formed into comman- does under our own officers. They will also leave here today, and will reach the Modder river tomorrow, when they will be railed to Cape Town in detachments. ”’ The above dispatch was read in both the House of Lords and the House of Commons, today. The reference to the Canadians evoked immense aud prolonged cheering. Mr. A. J. Balfour, the government leader in the House of Commons, said he had no information relative to the Boer guns. HEAVY FIGHTING AT PIETER’S MILL. In the attempt of the Inniskillings, Friday evening, to rush the Boer position on Pieter’s hili, the Boer fire was so terrible when the infant- ry emerged from the cover of the trees, that almost every man in the leading half of the company fell wounded.

Lord Roberts has notified the War Office that the number of Boer prisoners approximates 4,000, of which about 1,150 are citizens of the Orange Free State. The remain- der are citizens of the Transvaa! Twenty-nine Transvaal officers were captured and eighteen Free State officers were prisoners. The guns captured fromthe Transvaai forces were three 7.5-centimetre Krupps. nine one-pounders and one Maxiin gun. From.the Free Staters the British captured one 7 5-ceatimetre Krupp and one Maxim gun. The officers captured by Genera! Roberts besides General PietCronje, include the following well-known commanders: Chief Commaadant Wolverans, 2 member of the Volks- raad; Field Cornet Fruz, a Scandi- vavian; Major Albrecht, the famous German artilleryman, and Major Von Dewitz, the distinguisned German officer responsible for most of the splendid engineering works of the Boers since the commencement of the war. 2 - MOORESVILLE NEWS. Death of Mr. Ervin.—An Amateur Hanging.—A Former Instance tecalled. From our Regular Correspondent. Mr. B. R. Lacy, of Raleigh, was in our town last Thursday. He is a candidate for State Treasurer and has many friends in this communi- ty who heartily endorse his candi- dacy and hope that he will vet the nomination. Mr. S.J. Brawley, who has been seriously sick for several weeks, is uow improving and his many friends have strong hopes of his recovery. Mr. Ephriam Ervin, of Cabarrus county, died of pneumonia on the 25th. He lived about four miles from Coddle Creek church and was about 75 years old. He had been a magistrate since 1866 and was 2 prominent man in his community. The deceased leaves several children, one of whom is Mrs. Lock Snmrow. of this township. Miss Minnie Templeton is assist- ant postmaster kere, instead of Mr. J. T. Hudson, who goes to Mt. Ulia. She isa niece of R. S. Tem- pleton, Esq., the postmaster. Three young misses in their early teens who work in the cotton mill here decided they would have some fun at the expense of a younger workmate Sy attempting to hang her. They fastened arope of yarn around her neck and, there being no suitable beam in the room where they were, pulled her about on the fioor for awhile and had their fun. Next morning they were brought before the mayor and made to pay $1.50 each for their fun, and this was not so funny. Several years ago a similar prank was attempted here, but the parties were all nen of mature age. Two men full of corn juice called at the home of an old colored man and wanted him to drink with them. He refused and the men put a rope arvund his neck and swung hiin up toa beam in his house, and had their laugh at his dangling about. One of the parties left the place and has not been back since. The other, the less guilty man, appeared at the Superior Court and paid $50 for bis part of the fun. People who delight in having fun at the expense of other people’s feelings had better try some other way than hanging, as it generally costs more than the fun is worth. —— 0cfk oe tee LATE GENERAL NEWS.

To the Editor of THE Mascot. The Democracy of Iredell’ county is to be congratulated on the excel- lent character and qualifications of the severa] candidates for the office of register of deeds. The public as well as the Democratic party is to be congratulated on the eminent fitness, faithful service and business methods of W. W. Turner, the pres- ent incumbent. There is a growing and healthful sentiment in favor of the renomination of the o!d officers. and an unwillingness toendorse a part of them, without endorsing them all. I can’t see whyso many should aspire for this office, and but few for sheriff and treasurer, unless they think the ottice of register is easier to fill. There is a mistaken idea that the register of deeds has but little todo outside of copying deeds, mortgages and the like. This is the most important office in the county to the public and tax payers. He, the register of deeds. is the gen- eral accountant of tke county. His duties require a strict account of all taxes assessed against the individ- ual, prepare and make abstracts of the aggregate of all State, county, school and special taxes,the amount of taxes and license charged against the sberiff, to keep a record of the accounts of the board of county com- missioners, and many other duties required by law. To do this work without loss to the public, the in- cumbent should be a first class bus- iness man, conscientious, energetic, perseverant and vigilant. Mr. Tur- ner, possessing all the above quali- fications, has discharged the duties of the office acceptably to its pat- rons and satisfactorily to the public. He has watched the interest of the taxpayer, with the same diligence that he looks after his own private matters. The one who fills this oftice is the tinancier of tne county, as much so as the cashier of a bank. During his term of office under his able ad- ministration of its finances, the county was practically out of debt, until it began building the new court house. Atthe time he went into oftice the county was several thou sand dollars in debt, and was_ bor- rowing money, now it has sufficient money on hand and on sheriff's books to pay every dollar it owes, except the new court house obliga- tions. It was bis foresightand bus- iness sagacity that saved the county $2,670 in an ex-sheriff’s settlement, andI might call other instances, but deem it unnecessarv. If any man deserves a@ renomina- tien and election, surely our worthy and faithful tinancier and register does. Our community is for Turner and the amendment. We will be glad some time in the near future to aid in promoting the other worthy aspirants. Yours for a united Democracy, A DEmocrat. Feb'y. 26, 1900 —_—_—o Candidates Suggested from South Iredell. Correspondence of THE Mascor. Seeing yourcolumns pretty well filled with names for the different offices and none from the southern part cf the county, we will put in nomination the following names for the different offices: For sheriff J. H. Wycoff, who will lead the ticket now as wellasin 96 if nominated; for register H. C. Summers, who fairly won in ’96 but was ruled out by thechair thinking he ought tohave 46 votes and who is the strongest man in the race when everything is considered; for treasurer R. J. Wil- liamson, of Troutman’s, who will add strength to the ticket, being in every way qualified for the place; and last, but by no means least, Dr S. W. Stevenson and A. D. Watts for the House and J. B. Holman for the Senate. This team will take us anywhere. Homo. Granite Hill, N. C., Feb, 27, 1960. — — Dr. R. J. Brevard’s barn was burned in Charlotte Monday.

On the other hand the adoption of a radical foreign policy by the Re- publican party, the secret alliance with England and the determination to grab territory, entailing vast ex- penditures for an army and navy andinvolving government beyond the pale of the constitution, has alarmed a strong element of tse American people. In domestic af- fairs the same radicalism has mark- ed the party. It has reduced one State to the verge of anarchy an civil war: it has over-ridden all pre- cedents in unseating members of Congress: it has deliberately cisre- warded platform pledges, and has committed itself to the protection lof commercial organizations that | openly defy the law.

Hon. W. D. Turner, for Lieutenant for a place on the State ticket, and good policy seems to suggest that they be instructed for no other can- didate. The delegates to the Con- gressional covention will be in- structed for Hon. Theo. F. Kluttz for renomination, as they should be. The counties of Iredell, Davie and Yadkin form the 27th. Senatorial district which elects two Senators. Iredell always gets one of the Dem ovratic nominees: and Davie and Yadkin alternate. This is Yadkin’s time for the nominee. We have not beard whom the Yadkin Democrats will nominate. For the Iredell Sen- atorial nomination, the names of Charles H. Armfield and John B. Elotman, Esqs., have been mention- ed throughour columns. The _for- wer will accept the nomination if it is tendered him, while we do not know what ‘Squire Holman would do in regard to it. For the House, the names of Dr. >. W. Stevenson and Thomas J. Williams. Esq., of Coddle Creek, and ‘ir, A. D. Watts, of Shiloh, bave been mentioned. Sherif Wycoff is the only avowed candidate for sheriff. and it appears here will be no other candidate. For register of deeds, Register furner, and A. D. Kestler and M. ct.

Itappears that the contest tor this office will be the most inter- esting fight of the convention. Treasurer Haynes and M. L. Lentz, Esq.,of Statesville township, and J. W. Guy, Esq., of Coucord, nave announced themselves candi- dates for county treasurer. oroaer Foard is serving his first term and he will serve again if nominated and elected, as he doubt- iess will be. surveyor Somers is serviny his +-cond termand will not decline a nemination if tendered him. Mr. Ww. W. Williamson, of Fallstown township. has also been suggested icr this office. For county commissioners we aeur the names of the present mem- vers—T. M. C.

At the primaries delegates to the county convention and a precinct executive committee of five members wui be elected. The delegates may be instructed or sent uninstructed as the primaries see fit.

He will take no such step, nor will he antagonize the amendment. He was speaking to a Repnblican and a Democrat when the Republican made the statement that a certain Populist had said he would vote against the Amendment for fear he would be disfranckised “Not at all.’ said the Attornev- General, “it is impossible, provided he registers before 1908."

One contempora- ry, which favors the nomination by the Democrats ef State Superinten- dent Mebane, says tha’ if thi< should oe done “pone of us could call on Democrats to supp ort him because he is the partv’s nominee.’ And p ay, why not? If th» Democratic party regularly nomiiates a man for any office whatever, from consta- dle to-president.it is the duty of every ioyal Democrat to support the nom tnee. Deinocrats who believe in party success must accept reguler party action and support regular party nominees in all instances, or we have party anarchy. The will of the majority in the party, regularly expressed, is the party's action, and failure tosupport any nominee of the party is to bolt -the party’s ac tion and therefore to bolt the party. That has been sound doctrine an nusdred vears, and it will be sound doctrine forall time. Of course a man has aright to bolt his party and oppose its nominees whenever he chooses todo so. but when he does it, he becomesa belter with all that theterm implies. Some o‘ the best men in the world are indepen- dentsandmugwumps. They oppose party control and refuse to surren- Jer their individual action to the will of the majority of their party They are never bolters oecause they do not profess party allegiance, but the man who claims to be a Demo- crat must vote the ticket as it is printed. This is said without reference to Mr. Mebane, or the suggestion of his nomiaation. This paper does. not advocate any man’s cause prior to the action of the convention. - He has made a non-partisan, wise aad progressive officer. It is for it Democratic convention to. --say- whether it willname him of some other gentleman.

Admiral Dewey's rich new wife says he admiral is entirely willing to be President in order that she may become ‘‘the first lady of the land,’ and so are a good many other men of whom we know, but the Awericam voters are not so willing to oblige them. In fact, the public takes less stock in the admiral than it did, and this rich new wife’s re- cent fool talk will cause it to take still less. The American people want a man witha policy for their President and not a man whose chief business would be to show off ‘‘the tirst lady of the land.”’ * * The Stanly Enterprise says: _ “The Statesville Mascor is free in its praises of Mr. Turner for Lieu- tenant Governor. Mr. Turner is a good man, one whom we admire. We have favored bim once or twice in contests in which he did not come out victorious, and under favorable circumstances would take pl2asure in supporting him again. But when it comes to measuring candi- dates before ovr State Convention Sraith will tower way over Mr. Tur- ver and from our view the Mascor isa little unsafe in its forecast. Sraith is a young man and has not been before tke public very long; but he has figured prominently in ali he has undertaken and the in- dorsement of his services has no uncertain ring. He is a much stronger man than Mr. Turner, and tb2 Democratic convention cannot aflord to ignore our claim as a county. Wehave eyery assurance ‘bot be will recerye the nomination, und we are not weakened by the ‘AascoT’s contrary view.” “he above seems to be written in ‘erence to an editorial we publish- d week before last in regard to Mr. Porner. ©) a word said in disparagement cf 1. Smith or any other candidate ior the position. In fact, the En- terprise has no higher estimate of Me. Smith than we have. He is a ins Democrat, and would fill the icnor to the State and credit to ‘imself, if nominated and elected; but we belieye the present cam- if t E “xperience as a campaigner. We w il not imitate the Enterprise in its comparison between the two inon. Either one of them will make a strong candidate and an able offi- cer, but Mr. Smithis yonng enough te wait. The Enterprise says it bas supported Mr Turner when he was not successful in his coatests. furner sought the Congressional o mination on two occasions and was defeated, but his work for the party in the campaigns which fol- lowed was as vigorous and hearty as it would have been had he been tae uominee. W. D. Turner works for the party whether he is on the t cket or not. and this is one reason why he should now be nominated.

Mr. Campbell was a promising -oung manof admirable character, who had the respect of all who knew him, and by marked energy and in- dustry was fast rising to promi- nence in his community. A dutiful son, a kind, provident husband, and a good nelghbor and friend has pass- ed away. He left many manifestatious of his readiness and willingness to die. frequently alluding to his father, who awaited him on the “other shore.’’ and to ‘little Ursa,’’ infant daughter, who died 18 months pre- vious.

We reproduce below what his county paper, the Statesville Mas- cor, has tosey of Mr. Turner. We may add to our hearty and complete endorsement of what the Mascor says that the Observerjhas the very highest revard for the Mascoritself, which is one of the ablest and truest of our North Carolina papers. It is no small testimony to the character of Mr. Turner’s mental and moral make-up that he was the trusted friend and partner of the late dis- Every tinguished Judge Armtield.

He knows how Shiloh has been ignored in the making up of juries—how zood citizens and free holders have lived to a great old age and died without being drawn on a Jury and that there are many in the township today 40 or 50 years old who have never been on a jury. He willsee that the fair thing is done. Shiloh wants Summers for regis- ter and her other man, A. D. Watts, who now spends most of his time in Statesvi.le, for the House. We are glad to see that Mr. Watts will cer- tainly receive the nomination. Shiloh, being the banner town- ship, expects something this time, and if she fails to get it there will besome hard kicking done which may result in a general diss&tisfac- tion and the big majority from Shi- loh ‘*will not be thar.”’ New men for commissioners too is a part of our motto. We would be glad to have all the worthy candidates get an office, but as there are not enough offices to go around, we think it right and proper for some to step down at each election and Jet others have a chance. Allow new men a chance tosave some money for the county and make a little for their own pock- et. We hopethe voters will read this and remember us in the prima- ries.

If elected, he will make one of the best officers the State ever had. As a Democtatic editor, he has always remained true to all the principles of the party, and his vigorous edi- torials have added much strength to the Democratic position in Burke and the adjoining counties. True as steel to his friends, blessed as few men are with those qualities of head and heart which go into the make-up of “good fellows,” Col. Pearson should not ask this nomina- tion in vain of his party. He @e- serves it. Let's give it to him. * . * Some of the papers of the State want the Democrats to put Mr. Me- bane on their ticket for re-election as State Superintendent of Public Instruction. They say that he has made a good officer. We suppose he has, but so has Auditor Ayer aud Treasurer Worth,so far as we know. The former has kept correct ac- counts and the latter has kept the State’s money safely. While this is true, we want their places for Democrats, and we are of those who want a true Democrat nominated for Mr. Mebane’s place. Surely the great Democratic party has a man as honest and as capable for this office as the Republican incumbent. Let’s find him and give him the nomination. Weare a spoilsman, if you please, and believe in Demo- crats putting Democrats into office, when they can. We take no stock in the non-partisan nonsense we see in some papers. Let’s man the old Democratic ship this year with Democrats from deck-hands to cap- tain. We are not inthe humor to Miss Myrtle Harbin has returned ‘from a visit to Asheville and Ma- | rion.

I think this would be unjust and disrespectful to the excellent incumbents. They have all filled the offices well and none of us dare say ought against their official re- cord. But the fathers set the prec- edent that itis best to rotate our officers. I have supported the pres- ent incumbents for the past four years willingly and cheerfully anc their official records cannot be ex- celled, but there are others who can doas well, and to be impartial let us put ina new set of men and be true to the principle of Democracy.

Lentz for treasurer—a clever gentleman whoml have known for a number of years, whose mental faculties are quick and active and who is a faith- ful Democratic worker; W. A. Sum- mers for sheriffi—a mar whom I partially know and whose reputa tion is of the best; A. D. Watts for the House--an intelligent working young Democrat who would make Iredell a representative in the State Capitol of whom she would be proud. Respectfully, ConcorD DEMOCRAT.

Those who did not understand the issue; 2. Those that want office and know their only chance to get it is through the solid negro vote.

It is not doubt- ed there may yet be heavy fighting, but the wenius of Lord Roberts ts lyoked to for victory over all diffi- culties. His grim reference to the “iste”? President Steyn is under- stood to show that there shall be no awbiguity as to the position aé- sumed toward the republics. The Sct that Mr. Prazer, late chairman ithe Free State Raad and leader of the opposition to Mr. Steyn,came with the deputation to surrender the keys is regarded as extremely significant of considerable differ ences of opinion among the Free Staters regarding the war. Ft is said ‘hat President Kruger hates Mr. Frazer on account of his sym- pathy with the Outlanders. The demonstrations of the Bloemfontein inhabitants are also regarded as a sood augury for the future of Brit- ish Supremacy. It is interesting, in connection with the rapid advance of Lord Rob- erts to learn that the Russian mili- who sent tary attache with the Boers, was Captured by the British, the following telegram to the Czar “Tam perfectly amazed at the ener- endurance of I need say no wy in actionand the the British infantry. more.’ There isstill no news as to whether Lord Roterts has captured nav rolling stock.

London, March 14, 9 p. m.—-It is officially announced that Lord Rob- tts has occupied Bloemfonteiu and that the British tlag is flying from the top of the capitol. The following is the text of Lord Roberts’ dispateb to the War Ofice announcing his occupation of Bloem- fontein: *Blcemfontein, Tuesday, March 13, 8 p. m.—By the help of God and by the bravery’ of Her Majesty's soldiers, the troops under my com- mand have taken possession of iiloemfontein. The British flag ow tlies over the presidency, evac vated last evening by Mr. Steyn, late President of the Orange Free State. Mr. Mazer, member of the late executive government; the mayor, the secretary of the late gov- ernment, the Landrost and other ofticials met me two milea from the town and presented me with tke keys of the public offices. The enemy have withdrawn from the neighborhood and all seems quist. The inhabitants of Bloem- fontein gave the troops a cordial welcome.” The above dispatch, though dated Tuesday, was not received at the War ODilice until 7:30 p. m. Wednes day. lt was made publie a fow minutes before 9 o'clock. The de- sv is attributed to the field tele- graphs not being connected with Gloemfontein on Tuesday evening. F.xtra papers are already out on the streets and the night crowds of London are singing patriotic songs, and envouing in patriotic demon- strations. London, Msareh 14.—Lord Rob erts’ dispatch caused a feeling of wreat relief. The absence of the news, eagerly looked for, had pro- voked some apprehension during the eartier part of the day, that the itritish had met with a check before b vemfontein and anxious inquiries were made at the War Office, and in th» lobbies of Parliament. On the reception of the news, the Queen at Windsor castle, the Prince of Wales at Marlborough, Lord Wolseley and others were immediately notitied, outlato'clock the War Office was aitnost deserted, the public baving wiven up hope of further news until to :worrow (Thursday). The appear- unce of the newspapers with tidings caused great excitement along Pall Malt, at the service clubs and in the West, generally. Owing to the late hour, however, there was no demon- stration approachiag in the remot- est degree those which heralded the surrender of General Cronjeand the relief of Ladysmith. it so happened that a torch-light procession, organized on an extep- sive scale for the widows and or- poans” fund was parading south London with bands and banners. This included a body of uniformed mea representing the British tield torces, the surrender of Cronje and other inspiring incidents. The route was hung with flags, and stands were erected at numerous poiats for spectators. Naturally the appearance of the extra editions ofthe evening papers created a fu- roreofenthusiasm among the pa- raders, who greeted the news with cheers and the singing of the na- tional anthem. At Windsor the news Was received with much joy. The Queen commanded that it be immediately published, and she in- structed herequerry, at the dinner table, to send a note to the officers of the household brigade. The bat- talion was on parade at 10:15 p. m. Major St. Aubyn read Her Majesty’s note and called for cheers for the Queen and Lord Roberts. The band piayed “God Save the Queen.”’ Whenever Lord Roberts’ dispatch was read, his referenee tothe ‘late”’ President Steyn and the “‘late’’ ex- ecutive, was immediately fasteaed upon as highly significant. The Lord Mayor announced the news at a Dauquet to the masters of the city companies which was in progress at the Mansion House, It was receiy- ed vith great cheering, the compa ny vising and singing “God Save the Queen.”” The evening papers in Liverpooi, Manchester ard Glasgow pud-ished special editions, causing day. joyful demonstrations in those cities. | “a dispatch to The Daily Chroni-| March 12, evening, It was ward.

Cape Town, March 14.—A great popular d-monstration took place here on the receipt of the news that Bloemfontein had been cccupied by the British. All the church bells were rung and a procession, headed by the Unioa Jack, went to the wovernment house, where Sir Alfred 1 Milner made his acknowledgments. The demunstrators sang “God Save the Queen,” and then paraded through the principal streets, cheer- ing and singing patriotic songs. THE ENTRY OF BLOEMPONTELN. London Dispatch, rth, At precisely 1:30 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, a Union Jack, especially mage for this purpose by Lady Rob- erts, was hoisted over the Presicen cy at Bloemfontein amidst the accla- mation of the commander-in-chicf’s battalions. in which curiously enough, the Orange Free State burghers appear to have joined with remarkable heartiness. The oppo- sition tothe entry of the Britisb troops into the capital was insigni- cant. Boers were found occupying a few bilis south of the place, but a few shells droye them off and at 10 in the morning some newspaper cor- respondents entering the town, found Mr. Frazer and other officials and guided them to where Lord Rob- erts stood on top of a hill, waitiag for them. As spokesman. Mr. Fra- zerasked protection for life and property and surrendered the keys. Lord Roberts, accompanied by his staff, rode at the head ofa calalcade a mile long to the Presidency, re- ceiving an ovation throughout the route, culminating in a remarkable demonstration at the market square. Reaching the government buildings, Lord Roberts took possession of the city in the name of the Queen and then repaired to the Presidency. where the ceremony of hoisting the Union Jack endad forever, according to universal opinion here, the Boer overnment of the Free State. Dur- ing his progress through this town, Lord Roberts stopped and ordered the instant replacement of yoods which were being looted from the artillery barracks by Kaffirs, thus viving the populace an earnest as- surance of the treatment they might expect from the victors. President Steyn tled to Kreoa- stadt without reply.ng to Lord Rop- erts’ demand for his surrender, snd the commander-in-chief remarked afterwards, during the course of a conversation while breakfasting at the farm of President Steyn's broth- er, that the ex-President had be- come a nonenity. The British troops, with the exception of those necessary to police the town, remain outside The press dispatches giving most of the above interesting details also settle the point raised about the cutting of the railroad and tele- graph north of Bloemfontein, show- ing it was a plucky act. Major Hunt Weston, of the Roya! Engineers, ac- companied by ten men, transversed the Boer linesand succeeded in eut- ting the wires and biowing up the tracks. Bloemfontein is now regarded as a sort of half-way house and base of operations for the advance on Pre- toria. The military authorities here ex- pect a period of comparative quiet while Lord Roberts is establishing railroad connection with Norval's pont and Bethulie, and viving tie men 3nd horses the rest necessary to fit them for the severe strugyies which sre believed to be still inevi table. It seems likely that the next news of fighting may come from Na- tal. General Warren’s division which had reached Durban, nas been ordered to rejoin General Buller. indicating that the outfanking movement through the neck of Zu- luiand, referred to in these dis- patches March 10, is about to com- mence. It is reported at Bloem- fontein that General Joubert is a: Brandfort, but other reports locate him at Biggarsburg. —_— ro er Martial Law Proclaimed in Costa tica, New Orleaus Disprtch, 16th, Passengers arriving from Costa Rica announce that Presideat Igle- seas.taking advantage of the threat- ened war with Nicaragua, and the attempt of the Nicaraguans to pre- cipitate a revolution in Costa Rica, has proclaimed himself dictator and declared martial law.

There will be500 horse power generated and a woolen mill will be established, Goldsboro, N. C., Mareh 16 — Goldsboro is still pressing forward in the industrial worid. In addition to the large cotton mill now in op- eration here, we will have in the nearfuture two more large cotton manufacturing plants. One will be known as the Borden Nanfacturing Company, with F. K. Borden as president and E. B. Bordon, Jr., secretary and treasurer. Mr. W. K. Parker, and experienc ed cotton mill man, 1s at the head of the other mill, making active prepa- tions fora speedy completion of the arrangements for the factory. Mr. Leon L. Strause, a wellknown tobacconist, of Richmond, Va., says the Dispatcb,has just returned from Massachusetts. While North Nr. Strause purchased outright a first- class xnitting mill. This is for the manufacture ot underwear. The mill will be taken to pieces and moved at once to Henderson, N. C. Here the divided machinery will be put to- yethber in one of the buildings best adapted for the mill that can be found arywhere inthe South. The mills, under the ownership of Mr. Strause, willbe known as tbe Sea- poard Knitting slills. The capital stock will be $50,000, fully paid up. It is expected that the mili will be put in operation at the new locality Within the next sixty days. From the outset the mills will turn out daily about 200 dozen suits of men’s underwear. This rather large capacity will be increased at an early date. Mr. Strause has se- cured the services of a competent manager and superintendent Thelo- cation of the knitting mills at Hend- erson is opportune, since the well known Henderson cotton mills there can furu:sb on the spot all the yarns needed fcr the manufacture of such goods as the knitting mill may wish to make. ee Charlotte Has a Strike. Charlotte News. Charlotte had a real strike this morning. Nearly one hundred op- eratives in the factory of the Char- lotte Clothing Nanufacturing Com- pany quit work between twelve and one o'clock today, leaving only the superintendentin the work room. Uptothetine of yoing to press there have been no overtures frum either the proprietors or the oper- atives and the strike bids fair to continue indelinitely. _—_ -- and the operatives giving entirely different accounts of the affair. It seems that a one-leyved beggar had been ix the officeon the second floor, and was told to leave the building. Instead of leaving he went up to the thifd floor into the machine department, und began to distribute his cards and suiicit aims Nir. Keesler heard that be was on the third tloor and, asit is ayainst the rules for anyone to solicit aims or advertise among the operatives, he went up tothe third tloor und pat the beggar out. The begear cursed terribly, called Mr. Keesler uimen- tionable names, and Mr. Keesler had to use force to put him our. The strikers claim that sic ler used bad language in ihe pres- ence of the female operatives, and when remoustrated with for using such language in the presence of ladies, said: “There are no ladies working here.” They claim that the men and women alike resented this language: and that the strike Was 2 protest avainst that remark, and also against Mr. Keesier’s in- terference with affairs in the oper- atiny room. A News mansaw Mr Keesler and told him the operatives’ side of the affair. Mr. Keesler said tne state- ment was entirely untrue. He had gone into the room only t» remove the tramp, anid did not speak to the Operatives: that the tramp cursed terribly, but that he (Keesier) did not use the words attributed to hiw in the presence of the femal: vpera- tives. ‘I have never said und never thought that no ladies werk in this establishment,’’ he said: “in fact there are some of the best women I know employed here, and 1 respect them.’’ He seemed surprised at the charge, and resented it. The first he knew of the strike was when the operatives appeared at : he office door in a body and threatened him He quickly telephoned for three po- licemen, and they compelled the op- eratives to leave the building and yard. A News reporter talked with a number of the strikers. They were very indignant, and said that ‘‘the way they were treated’’ was the cause of the strike.

Yes, this beautiful young life has gone out and her spirit has passed to the great beyond. And while her earth- ly home is robbed of this sunny ray, it isshrouded in gloom, and her schoolmates lingered at every thresh- hold to gently disclose the fact that their companion is dead. On Tuesday last Hattie was ex- cused from the school room at the Academy onaccount of feeling badly, and went straight home. She was tenderly cared for as only mothers can, and was apparently rest.ng and growing better. However there was a chanye during the night on Wednesday, and before the aid of medical assistance could reach her, the form was cold in death. Hattie Cochrane was just 15 years of age, and was known and loved by every one in this community. De- ceased was theeldest child of Mrs. M. C. Cochrane, and had three little brothers. The funeral took place from the Presbyterian church yesterday af. ternoon at 4 o'clock, conducted by Rev. Dr. Wharey. The Academy suspended school for the day out of respect for the one they so muc loved. The bier was borne by her schoolmates, Messrs. Floyd Mel- chor, IraGibson, Harvey Gibson, Paul Grierson, Robert Johnston and Wake McConnell, and the remains were laid torestin the city cem- etery. Almost lost his Lifein the Spring.

Norfolk, Va,, Dispatch 23rd, Information was received here this afternoon of a terrible double murder in Greenviiie county, sup- posed-to have been cuinmitted bytwo tramps. Two wo!) known citizens of Emporia, J. N. Welton and J. W. Saunders, left that place for Trego station, on the Atlantic Coast Line, about soon. Walking along the railroad toreach their destination, they met two tramps, one white and the other a negro, who, it is sup- posed, held them up for the purpose of robbery On showing resistance, the two gentlemen were both fatal- ly shot down and the robbery was committed by force. When found, Mr. Saunders was dead and Mr. Welton barely living, but having sufficient strength to tell about the murder and give a de- scription of the murderers. Intense indignation was caused when the affair became known and as soon as possible, a posse was organized for pursuit, assisted by bloodhounds. The tramps were arrested this af- ternoon. A lynching is imminent tonight. White Woman Burned to Death in South Carolina. Columbia, S. C., Special to Charlotte News, 2end. News was received this morning of the burning of awhite woman at the stake by reyrulators near Chester- field Court louse. U. T. Steen, John Jackson, Benja min Jackson and Harvey Jackson were arrested at midnight charged with the deed. The name of the victim of this atrocious deed was Carrie Boan. She was a white girl of the neigh- borhood, aud for some time it has been reported that she has been living with negro men. It is supposed that a band of white caps got together, decided that they must take the law in their own hands, and then captured and murdered the woman in the most horrible and atrocious manner. FURTHER DETAILS OF THE CRIME Wadesboro, N. C., March 23.— Particulars regarding the atrocious murder of Carrie Boan, assaulted and burned in the woods by four white men, show that the woman was gashed in the fleshy parts of ber body, the cuts being from + to 12 inches ian length. Then, while the blood was still flowing, she was released in the wild woods to run screaming until she fell dying. When founda smail braid around the forehead was the only shred of clothing left on ber body. She vas 20 years old, the daugkter of George Boan, a farmer, and was one-quar ter Indian. Last Sunday evening she left her sooms with Sam Woodward to visit Vince Melton. She left there later in the evening with Tom Steen and James Jackscn, presumably to re- turn to her father’s house. Noth- ing more was heard of her until she was seen Monday night, running through the woods. Doss Jackson, Jobu Jackson, Abe Kirkleyand Jim Verner report that they beard the screaming and collecting a crowd, went into the woods and found the virl. An overcoat was thrown over the charred and dying woman and help summoned. When a doctor arrived she was dead. The result of the inquest was the arrest of Harvey, Ben and John Jackson aud J. T.

Ambushed and Shot in Burke. Morganton News, A dispute over a roadway running through the farmof Sam Morgan, near Bridgewater, arose between Morgan and L. J. Ehrlick, who hves in the same neighborhood. Morgan closed the road, was indicted and cited for trial before Esq. W. N. Thompson on Tuesday last. Ehrlick, ou bis way to the trial, in company with John Patton, was ambushed and shot in the left arm by Morgan with a double barrel shot gun. Be fore Morgan could shoot the second time Patton interfered and seized him and threw him to the greund. In the scuffle Ehrlick procured the gun and fired at Morgan but missed him. He then hit Morgan in the head witha stick and ran. When Morgan was released by Patton he whipped out u pistol and began fir- ingat Patton, who also fled. Only one shot from the pistol, however. took effect, this one striking Patton in the back. Dr. Riddle, of Bridgewater, was sent for and attended the wounded men. Welearn that, although the wounds are very painful, it is not thought that they will prove fatal. The shooting, of course, caused the calling off of a trial of the road matter. Morgan made his escape and at this writing has not been ap- prehended, although a diligent s2arch for hin has been made by Deputy Sheriff Hutchins and others. Sam Morgan is a son of Bruce Morgan, of McDowell county L. J. Ehrlick married a daughter of Robert E. Patton and is a locai preacher. The above account of the shooting was gathered by a News reporter from parties livingin the neighbor- hood where it occurred. Later: News reached Morganton this morning of the capture at Ba- kersville of Sam Morgan. Sheriff McDowell deputized Chas. F. Camp- bell to go to Bakersville ard bring Morgan here, and he left for that purpose at noon. ies A Negro Tortured to Death in Moore Ralei gh Post, 2and. George Ritter, colored, was taken from his home, near Carthage, last Friday night by masked men, and after his body had been shockingly mutilated the victim was shot and swung to a tree. The news of the horrible crime was received at the Executive office yesterday. Though the outrage was committed last Friday night, the first news of it was learned yester- day. A gentleman writing here said that the community was so hor- rified over the revolting crime that nothing had been said to the out- side wor)d concerning it. The theory of the people who knew the negro and are acquainted with the details of the crime is_ that Ritter was tortured and murdered by moonshiners, who had reason to believe that he had given informa- tion to the government concerning their operations in that vicinity. age, is said to bave been simple and inoffensive. It was first thought that he was connected with the burning of some barns and that he had been foully dealt with for that reason. This theory has been dis- credited, and it is the general opin- ion that be was disposed of by moon- shiners, who believed that he had viven information against them to the government. Ritter lived on the plantation of D. S. Barret, seven miles from Car- thage. Friday night four masked men appeared at the home of the negro, and were met by his wife, who was told that they desired to sec George. The spokesman said he had some questions for him to an- swer, apd not to be uneasy. The negro responded to the summons and accompanied the four men with concealed faces. The party had not been gone five minutes when several pistol shots were beard. The next morning the body of George Ritter was found swinging to a tree some 300 yards from his home. The bead had been beat with a club and other parts of the body horribly mutilated before the form was swung up. Everything connected with the crime points to the fact that the negro was barbar- ously tortured before he was killed. The evidence accumulated by the coroner, Dr. G. McLeod, tends to show tbatan effort was made to hang the negro and that he got away andrav. He was followed a quarter of a mile where he was shot. ‘he tracks of the pursued and pur- suing were plainly visible: The wife and daughter of George Ritter were taken to Carthage yes- terday for safe keeping. The two women think they know threeof the whitecappers. Masks and hats have been found, and it is thought that these, together with the tracks ob- served, wil! lead to the identity of the perpetrators of the baroarous murder.

The Associated Press is enabled tonight to present to the public the following absolutely true account of the status of the Carnegie-Frick controversy: All the parties in in- terest met at the board room of the Carnegie Steel Company for six hours today, and as a result not on- ly have all matters of difference been settled and adjusted, but the separate amounts which each party is to receive from the great coin- bined capital bas been azreed upon. The charter of the Carnegie Com- pany has been signed by all the par- ties interested, some thirty-six in all, and the three first nameson the certificate are Andrew Carnezie, followed by Henry Phipps, Jr., and Henry Clay Frick, thus indicating to the world that old friends and recent litigants are again united and standing together at the head of the combined industries with its capital of $160,000,000 and its secur- ities amounting to as much more. Pittsburg therefore has the credit of organizing the greatest corpora- tion that the United States kas ever known, if not the world, in that it starts out with $165,000,000 of stock subscribed for over the signatures of 36 men who are fully able to re- spond to their subscriptions for this vast amount. Of this amount, Andrew Carnegie subscribed $80,000,060, Henry Phipps about $18,006,000; Henry C. Frick about $16,000,000; Charles M. Schwab about $15,000,000, and Fran- cis T. F. Lovejoy about 358,000,000. The rest are in scattering amounts, representing about twenty million- aires. It is stated, too, authoritatively, that in not one paper has there ever been signatures representing a vreater amount of actual worth in the mercantile world. All minor points of detail were agreed on and the execution of a general power of attorney signed by allof the corporators to James B. Dill, of New Yors, corporation lawyer.

Briefly summingit up, the work of the Battietield Commission ing the past year consisted in the building of Telford avenue, a mule and two-thirds long, along the bat- tle lines of the First Army Corps on the field of the first day's battle; the | nddition of 1,100 feet to Sickles ave- nue; the partial construction of an zvenue from Spangler’s Spring around the southwestern slope and vase of Culp’s Hill: the placing of a large number of guns aud markers slowing the position of the Union and Confederate batteries, and the walling and marking of several small sprines which were used by both aimies during the battle. Lesides this the commission had a ferce of men at work all summer caring for the different parts of the field-—keep- wig the wrass cut around the monu- iments, the under brush cleared from the woodland, rebuildinge the stone wails used as breast works, sodding tue embankments along the avenues uifd in other ways keeping the field in tirst class condition. Of the money appropriated by the frovernment the Battietield Commission bas been in charge the received ia various years: 1887, $1,892 17; ase IS04, $50,000; 1895, eco, U00- in ISVO YT and “US, $50,000 was appropriated ar Is9, S60,- 92? 50, total amount S561,916. 70, According to the annual report of the commission the average cost of the avenues was $8,582.68 per mile, which, in view of the durable man- nerin which they are built, is con- sidered moderate. The 517,68 acres. «ft iand purchased since the commis -ion has been in control cost obout s41.83 an acre. Ina numberof in- ~tances the price paid was as high as ~i20an acre, while in some:cases sinall yortions of land were donatedfor sold wt anorminaisum. The commission vas experienced little trouble in se- curing most of the land, but a por- :.on to be used for-construction-of the « ontederate avenue bas been in liti sation for several years. Concern- this the Cominission’s report since following amouuts were SV5.G00; ing SYS: “The proceediugs begun by us three years ago by the direction of ihe Secretary of War. in the Circuit Court of the United States for the astern District ef Pennsylvaaia, te acquire by condemnation five tracts of land on Seminary Ridge, embracing two miles of the Confed- erate battle line of the second and third days, is «not yet concluded. Tie jury of view made their award two anda half years ago. The re- spondents appealed to court in term where, after much delay caused by them, it wds tried and a verdict eeudered last December, very liber- >i for them. They availed them- ssives of the six months allowed for »: peal and then carried the case to axe Guited States Circuit Court of & »peals. This court 1s now sitting in Philadelphia, and respondent's evinsel seek furtherdelay by con- iyuance to next term.”’ The com- ion of this avenue will open up at entirely new part of the field. \ much approved work of the cuntmission is the marking of the pesition of the regular Union and Confederate batteries, usually by two guns of the same caliber and ciasSas those which constituted the mettery and also by large iron tab- ‘ets supported on iron pillars and »earing appropriate inscriptions. The commission has already mount- ed 207 guns. The Union lines have already been marked with monu- tients showing the positions of the various brigades, divisions and revi- ments engaged, but there are only two monuments on the entire field showing where Confederate revi- meats fought. Others will be plae- as soon as the land is secured. Tne observation towers which were erected several years avo have been much used by tourists, From these five towers a panorama of the whole field can be seen. ‘Direction plates’ have beer put on several of the towers and have proved of great service in locating the ditferent points of interest. Atable of dis- tances from the tower to the point of interest accompanies the plate. An avenue which was laid out last summer is now assured, as the com- mission has secured the title to the ground. Itleads from Culp’s Hill toGettysburg, over land held dur- ing the first andsecond days of the battle by Gordon and Hay’s brigades of Early’s division of the Confeder- ate army. With the completion of this avenue there will be but half a mile leftto complete the circle of avenues around Getty t and it issaid that the naa complete the circle so that every part of the tield, except that on which the cavalry fight took place can be visited by tourists in an easy manner.

Seen me Dray Horse Eats Dynanaitec. New kochelle, N. Y., Dispatch, 23rd. There isan old cart horse here that may be full of dynamite. The horse is called Ormonde because he never lost arace. He is ugly 1l- tempered and as full of gables as a Queen Anue villa. He took kis luncheon last Friday out of a noee bay in which a young man had se- creted twosticks of dynamite. No ove thought of the cartidyes until it was found that Ormonde Lad eaten them. Ormonde’s life since that moment has been one grand sweet song. His deep dream of peace discounts Abou Ben Adherm’s because it is real, and he is enjoving every minute of it. The driver who used to wear out cart rungs and hot oaths on Or- monde’s ribs never ‘speaks to him now without saying *‘Sir.”’ The nobie beast is not allowed to move faster than a walk. His feet are padded so that no sharp jolting on the pavement can start the dy- namite going. The men won't let him travel anywhere except on ‘*Ea- sy street."” They are arranjing a pneumatic blanket for him, and the cart with which Ormonde is profes- sionally associated is to be provided with the thickest pneumatic tires.
