Lox;x>.v, Nov. 35 —It is amiotmced
([ in that a tits!-, eh received at Cape
1 1 w 11 item j rerona under date of
iimred.tv. Nov. 9, >ays a report received
tS'ere frcin Ladysmith said heavy can-
nonaiurg started at daybreak, that
£. me 01 the Boer forces were within
1 ,- ; _.:i xards of the British when the
cauaoiiading ceased and rifle fire com
nteticed.
Ii the news contained in the Pretoria
’dispatch is correct, and there is every
reason to believe that it is accurate, as
the Boer dispatches have almost iuvari
ably hitherto rendered fairly accurate
accounts, it is claimed here that it im
plies that a general assault cu Lady
smith was pending when General Jou-
bert’s report was sent off.
• Attention is called to the fact that
the date, Nov. 9, is assumed to be the
date of General White’s last pigeon post
message announcing a renewal of the
born bard men t, since which nothing has
been received except rumors from Est-
conrt that the bombardment was sus
pended N1 >v. 10.
It is c-iatiffed that if the Boers got
their forces within 1,500 yards of the
British position it shows they fuily
realized the necessity of utilizing the
brie: interval between the arrival of the
British reiuiorcemeuts to make a de
termined attempt to storm General
White’s position.
To successfully advance so close to
Lm iysntith, it is pointed out, the Boers
must have been most active in entrench
ing. and the nearness of the besieging
hues, it is added, indicated their readi
ness for the assault which there has
been a disposition in military circles to
believe the Boers were not willing to
undertake.
it must, however, have been patent
to General Ji.ubert that Ladysmith
would not fall to the fire of his artillery
and therefore he had no choice bat to
assault the piace or retire to the passes
0: the Drakensbnrg in the hope of in-
vo.ving the pursuing British in the in
tricate fastnesses of the mountains.
1 he ces.-aiion of the cannonade men
tioned in the dispatch and the opening
of musketry fire implies, it is claimed,
that the Boers were obliged to stop their
artillery ior fear of hitting their own
uieu, and that nothing further has been
heard from there is regarded here as an
indication that either the threatened as
sault was postpoded or that the result
was indecisive; otherwise, it is claimed,
Borne riling further would have leaked
out before now.
A Paris paper today gleefully an
nounces the fail and capture of Lady-
sniith, but reports from this source ito
mu.-, r cause a ripple of excitement.
a-, wrtkeless there will be considerable
anxiety here until the war office or some
'•nttepcu lent version of the latest devel
opments at Ladysmith is known.

Rear Admiral Favors Proposed Nica
ragua Waterway.
Huntsville, Ala., Nov. 13.—A corres
pondent writing from Birmingham to
a local paper says:
“In conversation with Admiral Schley
Tuesday I asked him if he did not think
the construction of the Nicaragua caual
would mean great things for the United
States. The admiral replied:
‘I consider it imperative that the ca
nal be built at once. It would then en
able ns to mobilize onr fleets on either
coast on short notice and would facili
tate our defense in case of war and ren
der the American navy invincible. And
hen it would open up the way to the
Orient, where a ready market can be
found for our cotton, iron and coal.’ ”

Robberies In Clarkesvillr.
Clarkesville, Ga., Nov. 13.—A band

obtained a heavy hammer and other im

NO VOTE ON PROHIBITION.
Small Minority Prevents Action Upon
the Willingham Bill.
Atlanta, Nov. 14.—A very small mi
nority succeeded iu preventing a large
majority from bringing the Willingham
prohibition bill to a vote in the house to
day. The session developed two dis
tinct sensations.
Mr. Price ot Oconee created the first
stir by the announcement that he be
lieved the clerks had made a miscount
on a vote, and there was another excit
ing occurrence when Mr. McGehee of
Harris introduced a resolution denounc
ing the members who were trying to
prevent action on the prohibition bill
and demanding that their names be
published. This brought forth a storm
of indignant protest.
Later in the session this same mem
ber offered another resolution providing
for the adjournment of the house sine
die. Neither of these resolutions were
entertained by the house, but the fact
that they were offered shows how bitter
the fight became.
The opposition was entirely unpre
pared to make a stand iu the open, be
cause of the absence of a number of
their side, and filibustering was re
sorted to.
T' nP child labor bill was killed in the
senate today.

Filibustering Resorted to~)by
neuts of Prohibition.
Atlanta, Nov. 15—The fight on the
prohibition bill took another sensational
turn in the house today, and again the
opposing minority succeeded in keepin
the measure from being placed on its
passage.
After the opening routine the com
iqittee reports and tho reading of new
fcilis, Willingham, the author of the
prohibition bill and the leader of th«^
majority, mo^ed that a recess of 15
minutes be taken, which mothm pre
vailed. A conference was immediately
held between the leaders of the tvro
sides.
The object of the couference, which
met in the speaker’s room, was to reach
an agreement by which the bill could
be placed before the hous® without fur-
therjjhbustering, and the auris made
proposition to make it a special order
for next Thursday, on certain condi
tions. bnt the prohibitionists wohid no;
agree to the proposition as stated, nor
would ihe antis agme to any proDosition
advanced by the prombitionists *
The couference was continued for 45
minutes, while the house took a further
recess and finally adjourned, the prohi
bitions agreeing that they would rerar'
legislation until the biil is acted up<
if the filibustering continued.
On the reconvening of the house the
filibustering began on a resolution pro
viding for the relief of A. J. Delk. W.
B. Lynn, D. S. Price and B. L. Fish-
back.
The resolution involving an appropri
ation, the house resolved itself into a
committee of the whole, and until tbo
hour for adjournment arrived the antis
kept the floor with motion and counter
motion and points of order.
A biil was introduced by Mr. McRae
of Telfair, to reorganize the military
forces of the state.
In the senate today the child Gabor
bill was reconsidered and p’aced upon
the table and the bill reducing the sal
ary of the state librarian finally killed.

a contract for supplying material for 40
houses, which are to be erected immedi

it will be put in blast as soon as the re

Question Answered,
Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized worlcf. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of us
ing anything else for indigestion or
biliousness. Doctors were pcarce,
and they seldom heard of appendi
citis, nervous prostration, or heart
failure, etc. They used August
Flower to clean out the system and
stop fermentation of indigested
food, regulate the action of the liver,
stimulate the nervous and organic
action of the system, and that is ail
they took when feeling dull and bad
with headaches and other aches
You only need a few doses of
Green’s August Flower, in liquid
form, to make you satisfied there is
nothing serious the matter with
you. Sample bottles at H, B. mcmas-

Letter Sent From Washington to the
Different Governors.
Columbia, S. O., Nov. 15.—Governor
McSweeney has received the following
letter from the secretary of the national
memorial bureau at Washington, indi
cating the desire of the national capital
to have there a fitting national memo
rial to the heroes of the Spanish-Ameri
can war:
“The money to be raised to make per
manent the present Dewey arch will
be contributed solely by the citizens of
New York. Many persons throughout
the country have signified their will
ingness to subscribe to a fund to build
the arch, if it were to be located at
Washington.
“To meet this growing demand from
those outside of New York city, a bill
will be introduced in the Fifty-sixth
congress by the Hon. William Sulzer of
New York petitioning that body to ap
propriate the sum of $500,000 towards
the erection at the seat of our govern
ment a Dexvey arch, as a national me
morial to the army and navy of the
United States to perpetuate, to future
generations the glorious victories of
the soldiers, sailors and marines in the
Spanish-American war, and as a tribute
to the patriotism of the American vol
unteers, who so willingly and readily
responded to the president’s call, and to
memorialize the deeds and progress of
onr country that has marked the close
of this century.
“If yon believe in the plan, will yon
kindly signify your approval of same?
“A similar letter will be mailed to
governors of other states anffmayors of
all cities, and no publicity will be given
to the movement until all havo been
heard from.
“An early response will be appre
ciated.”
Governor McSweeney has not yet re
plied.

CRUISER ON A HIDDEN REEF.
The Charleston Wrecked Near Manila,
but None of Her Crew Lost.
Manila, Nov. 14.—The United States
cruiser Charleston ran aground near
Vigan on a bidden reef with 35 fathoms
of water on both sides. She worked
her machinery for two days and nights
In trying to get afloat, * bnt a typhoon
arising the crew were compelled to take
to their boats and seek refuge on a
small island 5 miles away. The natives
are friendly.
Liectenant McDonald and a number
of sailors put-off in .a small boat and
reached the Callao, which brought them
to Mauila. The gunboat Helena has
been dispatched to bring away the crew.
Lienteuant McDonald describes the
Charleston, when he last saw her, as
hard and fast aground, with her bottom
badly stove and well out of the water.
The cruiser Charleston, which was
built in San Francisco in 1888. had a
displacement of 3,730 tons, was 310 feet
7 inches iu length, 46 feet 2 inches in
beam and 21 feet 8 inches in draught.
She was of steel, having two propellers,
oue funnel and two masts with military
tbps. She had the following arma
ment: Two 8-inch gnus, six 6 inch guns,
four 6 pounders, two 3-pounders, six
1-pounders, two machine gnns and one
light gun with four torpedo tubes. She
had a complement of 300.men.

primary election law of their state
ticket, section 3259 of the code, reqnir-

the Democrats did not observe this fea
