DEMOCRACY wars.

lUlxjgh, N. C, Not. B.—The Deme
cratrheve had a great fight, and all
the indicationa point to a sweeping
„ vie lory. The negroes voted in largj
Vn umber* but some voted the demo
cratic ticket. ..
No rioting of any kind has been re
ported in any section of the state. At
Newbtrne, the center of negro rule,
the Democrats will win an easy victo
ry, and a number of white Republicans
surprised their party managers by
voting the straight white man’s ticket.
At Kingston, where trouble bad
been looked for, the election progressed
very quietly and the negroes there also
stayed away from the polls. The fusion
element realized that at the close of
the polls today tbejtfate bad been re
de«med by the Democratic voters.
Riot In South Carolina/
Gbmhwood, 8. C., Nov. B—ln* to
day’s election the people of this sec
tion have bad a forceful reminder of
the days of 76-80, although u nusual 1/
quiet as to this precinct. Intense ex
citement has prevailed all day because
of the ehootidg of Mr. Boaz Etheridge,
one of the managers of the election
early this morning, and subsequent
riot among the whites and blacks at
that place, in which one of the Tol
berts and several nogroes were mor
tally wounded.
The Result In Mew York-
New York, Nov. B—-Judge Van
Wyck has most assuredly won in this
race for governor of this state, although
it will bo by a very small majority.
Everything has passed off quietly at
the polls all over the state
The- democrats expect to elect a
majority of legislators, which insures
the re-election of Senator Murphy.

MUST INCREASE TAX RATE
There Is a Deficit of a Million And
a Half Dollars in Treasury.
Tbe advance sheets of Treasurer J.
W. Speer’s report show that the state
has on band a net deficit of $1,575,-
015 43 up to October let of this yeah
The cash on baud is a little over $120,-
000, but against this must come tbe
pnderdrawn appropriations of tbe last
legislature and the $200,000 loan con
tracted by Gov. Atkinson to relieve
tbe school fund. The loss last year in
tbe state administration was $44,626 88
with a tax rate of $5 21 per SI,OOO. In
1898 then tax rate was $6 21, with a loss
of $302,241.63.
Treasurer Speer estimates the tax
rate for 1899 at $6 94 per SI,OOO, which
would allow for no appropriations by
the present legislature. This is tbe
virtual situation confronting the legis
lature.
Governor Candler says he will make
no appointmentsjto office, or even lis
ten to applications unless the term of
office to be filled expires witbin a
short time. He declares be wants to
be free to give bis whole attention to
a study of the deplorably financial
condition of the state and to devise
some plan by'whicb be can assist tbe
legislature to extricate Georgia from
her present critical position. He says
that the existing tax rale is much 100
high, considering the price of cotton
and the small amount of taxable
property returned, and that bis whole
endeavors shall be directed toward de
creasing the rate, or at least seeing
that it goes no higher.

(PEACE SOARD STOPS WORK.
•MMWMMMaw
Annouoe That Sittings of Commis
sion Have Been Suspended.
Nov. B.—-TheSpanish-Amer
loan peace commissioners have noti
fied tbe minister of foreign affaire, M.
Delcssse, that tbe joint session which
was to have taken place today will
not be bold and that they will notify
the minister when they will bavo de
termined upon the date of another
meeting.
Later a semi-official note was issued
announcing that tbe peace commis
sioners bad informed tbe French min
ister of foreign affairs that their con
ferences were suspended.
Tbe Gaulois this morning referring
to today’s sitting of the peace com
mission, says it will in no way .modify
tbe Spanish-American situation, "as
tbe American com mission era bavo or
ders to await further instractiongfrom
Washington’’ .
Tbe Gualoie says these instructions
will depend upon tbe result of tbe
elections, which the paper mentioned
thinks will be favorable to the Repub-
Jicans.
The Gaulois continues: "The Amer
ican government will eventually rec
dgnize that pecuniary compensation is
due to Spain for tbe evacuation of tbe
Philippines island and tbe negotiation
Will continue and be brought to a sat
isfactory conclusion in a very friendly
spirit.’’ ‘
Expected Living Burial-
Tbe Rev. Dr. Henry C. McCook says
in the Philadelphia Press : "There is
no doubt that many of the Spaniards
after tbe battle of Santiago believed
that the Americans would shoot all
captives. A touching story at El
Caney that shows this feeling was
related by a staff officer. After tbe
capture of the fort that crowned tbe
bill a burial party under Capt. Allen
proceeded to inter the Spanish dead,
which was done by laying them in
their own trenches dog before tbe
breastworks, as was also done at Ban
Juan. Nearby lay a lad of 17, shot
through the hips. As tbe bodies of
bis comrades were borne behind them
be would turn his bead and follow the
sad work with a horror stricken coun
tenance. Tbe American officer ob
served his face, and, rightly discerning
his feelings, called an interpreter and
assured tbe youthful soldier that no
barm would be done bim. "Shall I
not be buried alive, along with my
dead comrades?” was tbe anxious
qqpry.
"No, no! You shall be cared for pres
ently, and your wounds dressed and
tendered as if you were an American.”
Tbe j outb’s face was instgptly trans
formed. His horror was changed to
Happiness, bis fear to friendship. He
reached out bis band to Capt. Allen
with profuse thanksfand until be was
taken to tbe hospital showed bis grati
tude by shaking bands with every
American who came near. Poor lad I
And be, too, is a mother’s sou, and
some anxious hearted dame awaits bis
coming in distant Spain. May her
love and longing have no disappoint

Priests Vow Seeking to Make Rebels I
Dissatisfied-
Nnw York, Nov. B—A dispatch to
The Herald from Washington says:
Major Simpson, of General Merritt’s
staff, baa just returned from Manila
and though personally bo does not
seem to fear serious trouble with tbe
forces of Aguinaldo, be says there is a
dietinc; sentiment among tbe United
States troops the% there may be more
trouble and that more troops will be
needed. ,
Aguioaldo’s force io reckoned at
about 30,000 and Major Simpson free*
ly admits that tbe rebels are ia com
mand of tbe island of Luzon.
Tbe recent attack on Iloilo by tbe
forces of Aguinaldo recalled to Major
Simpson tbe fact that Aguinaldo bad
soma transports and that about 500
of tbe Luzon troops bad been carried
to tbe island of Panay. On the island
of Mindaad tbe situation is not under
stood as tbe inhabitants are mostly
Mohammedans. Little or no investi
gation of tbe situation there hss been
made by our army. Back in the bills
of Luzon many, tribes are almost unv
governed and have never felt tbe force
of either the insurgents or Spaniards.
To complicate the situation tfee
priests are now intriguing to make
tbe rebate discontented with Aguinaldo
and to set up another insurgent chief.
Should all the islands pass into the
bands of tbe United States tbe situa
tion might be one of surprise. Tbo
fact that Aguioaldo’s troops attacked
Iloilo according to Major Simpson
shows that Aguinaldo has not ac
quiesced in tbe decision involved in
the fall of Manila.

A Bad Case of “Shopping "
The other day, says tbe New Or
leans Picayune, a woman went into a
shoe store in New Orleans and asked
to see some party slippers. An oblig
ing clerk waited on her, and soon the
floor about Was piled with patent
leathers, satin and kid footgear of
every make and style.
That woman kept that clerk waiting
on her for half an hour fetching and
carrying boxes back and forth, and
when at last, in a patient voice, he
asked her: "Don’t any of these please
you, madam?” “Oh, yes, I’m very
well blessed, indeed. You tee, I just
bought a pair of slippers at Blank’s,
and I wonted to see if they were as
nice as tbe ones you advertise. Yeo.
I’m very well pleased, thank yon.
Good morning.”

is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the Cauvobmia. Fig Svbvp
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the Cauvoritia Fig Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cau
fobnia Fig Stbvp Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company—
