The Spanish prisoners of war in
Santiago de Cuba will be trans¬
ported to Spain in Spanish ves¬
sels, to whom the contract has
been awarded.
It is a humiliating fact that the
world is now paying more for in¬
struments of destructions and the
enginery of death than for church¬
es, schools, arts or letters.
A United States paymaster is on
his way from Washington to San¬
tiago, Cuba, to pay off the soldiers
of Gen. Shafter’s army. He car¬
ries with him threo quarters of a
million dollars.
“I have used Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy in my family for
years and always with good re
suits,” says Mr. W. B. Cooper of
El Rio, Cal. “For small children
we find it especially effective.” For
sale by W. B. Matthews & Co.,
Lumpkin, N. C. Alston, Richland.
The Cuban merchants at San¬
tiago refuse to take the U. S. sil¬
ver dollar in payment for what
they have to sell, as there is but
forty-four cents worth of pure sil¬
ver in it; at the same time they
take the Moxican dollar, at its
face value, which is worth only
about fifty cents in the United
States.
Now York, July 25.—Dispatches
to The World from Santiago say:
The Cuban insurgents encourag¬
ed by the correspondents of a New
York newspaper, aro retarding tho
work of Military Governor Wood
in restoring order in the city.
They are still disgruntled because
the town will not be delivered
over to them. The Spaniards are
accepting the change of govern¬
ment in Santiago with good grace.
There are no v about 3,000 eases
of malarial, typVro’A and yellow fe¬
ver in Shafter’s army at Santiago,
the majority of the casos being
yellow fever, which is said to be
of a mild type. There are hun¬
dreds of new cases every day. It
is now said that tho whole army,
except a sufficient guard, will be
sent back to the United States un¬
til the sickly season is over.
Our baby has been continually
troubled with colic and cholera
infantum since his birth, and all
that wo could do for him did not
seem to give more than temporary
relief, until we tried Chamberlain’s
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.
Since giving that remedy ho has
not been troubled. We want to
give you this testimonial as an ev¬
idence of our gratitude, not that
you need it to advertise your mer¬
itorious remedy.—G. M. Law, Keo¬
kuk, Iowa. For sale by W. B.
Matthews & Co., Lumpkin, N. C.
Alston, Richland.
That fool newspaper correspon¬
dent (of tho N. Y. World) who at¬
tempted to slap Gen. Shafter’s
face at Santiago, because he was
ordered to desist from making
himself too conspicuous at the
hoisting of the U. S. flag in the
city, after it’s surrender, has been
discharged from his position as
correspondent of the N. Y. World.
This should have been prevented
by General Shatter, who should
have had him shot on the spot.
But it seems that as long as the
world moves on fools will crop
out frequently.
Persons troubled with diarrhoea
will be interested in the experience
of Mr. W. M. Bush, clerk of Hotel
Dorrance, Providence, R. 1. lie
says: “For several years I have
been almost a constant sufferer
from diarrhoea, the frequent at¬
tacks completely prostrating me
and rendering mo unfit for my du¬
ties at this hotel. About two years
ago a traveling salesman kindly
gave me a small bottle of Cham¬
berlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diar¬
rhoea Remedy. Much to my sur¬
prise and delight its effects were
immediate. Whenever I felt symp¬
toms of the disease 1 would fortify
myself against the attack with a
few doses of this valuable remedy.
The result has been very satisfac¬
tory and almost completo relief
from the affliction.” For sale by

Washington, July 23.—“The Ad¬
ministration’s course will not be
changed by any fear of foreign in¬
terference,” it is announced to¬
day semiofficially.
It has been reported from abroad
repeatedly that European powers
have combined to prevent the
IJnited States frt * m takin 8 P 08808 *
sion of tho Philippines, but every
P hase of the 8ltuatlon ha8 boen
discussed and the President has
determined to brook no mterfer
ell f ^om^iiy
In the despatches regarding the
alleged combination of powers
Great Britain is excepted. The
United States fear no trouble from
that source.
Baron Von Hollebeu called yes¬
terday on the President and the
Secretary of War to reassure them
that Germany is friendly. This
visit was made by direct order of
the Emperor. Both official and
semi-official advices from Berlin
have been of such a character as
to allay all apprehension of trou¬
ble from that quarter.
The German Ambassador has
given notice that all his Govern¬
ment expects of the United States
is the establishment of a stable
government over tho Philippines.
Germany objects strenuouly to
the islands being turned over to
the insurgents until it has been
demonstrated that they can gov¬
ern thomselves.
The Administration thinks that
more announcement that if 'in¬
ference woutfrbo tolerated- ...ii ou¬
ter any preconcerted action.
The President believes that
every act of the United States dur¬
ing the war has been justifiable
and lie can see no cause for com¬
plaint by the powers. It is gen¬
erally believed the report is circu¬
lated periodically for the purpose
of affecting stocks.
I’ope is Trying' to Make Terms
With Uncle Sam.
Washington, July 23.—The re¬
ported statement from tho Vatican
which purports to be terms of
peace acceptable to both the Uni¬
ted States and Spain, is set down
here as only one of the many feel¬
ers that have been thrown out
within the past two weeks, proba¬
bly to test public feeling in the
United States primarily, and sec¬
ondarily to break slowly to the
masses of tho Spanish people the
realization of their complete de¬
feat, something of which they are
not aware, because of the super¬
human efforts put forth by the
Spanish government to suppress
or prevert the news of actual
events.
It is suspected here that the
conditions named: The annexa¬
tion to tho United Stabs of Cuba
and Porto Rico and the relinquish¬
ment to Spain of the Philippines,
represent what may be now look¬
ed upon as the maximum conces¬
sions that Spain is willing to
make.
From this point of view the
statement is not discouraging,
though of course it must be real¬
ized that the Spanish maximum is
very far below the American mini¬
mum. Still there must be some
starting point for negotiations that
will in the end lead up to peace,
and therefore, the public atten¬
tion of these various “feelers” is
not depreciated by our government
though so far it can be positively
asserted they have no basis of fact
at least on this side of the Atlan
tie.

PROGRESS OF THE WAR.
The war news for the week is
not of an exciting'nature, although
there has been no relaxation of
preparations for the capture of
Porto Rico and Manila Gen.
Miles, commanding the Porto Rico
army has effected a landing at a
small town near Ponce on the
Southern coast of Porto Rico, had
a skirmish with a small Spanish
force and drove them away, their
loss being five or six killed, our
loss half a dozen slightly wound¬
ed. The island is defended by
10,000 Spanish regulars and 80.
(XX) native volunteers. When Gen.
Miles’ army of invasion has been
completed he will have about 40,
0(X) troops, and the captive of the
island will be quickly effected.
Troops are being sent forward as
rapidly as transportation can be
had. Admiral Dewey at Manila
has received reinforcements enough
to make an advance upon the city
and establish his line within two
miles of the Spanish forces. Oth¬
er expeditions are en route. Two
or three Spanish gunboats and
other craft have been sunk off the
coast of Cuba. The Spanish gar¬
rison at Guantanamo has surren¬
dered, and Spanish troops in the
captured territory of Santiago de
Cuba, to the number of G,000 or
more have come into our lines and
surrendered. Gen. Garcia has de
camped to the mountains of the
interior. Meanwhile the Spanish
government, through the French
ambassador at Washington, lias
made application for peace nego¬
tiations, and President McKinley
will reply to the note to-day after
a consultation with tho Cabinet at
its regular meeting. His position
will bo firm, explicit and unyield¬
ing, allowing no scape pipe for
diplomatic dillydallying for the
purpose of gaining time or advan¬
tage by delay. As to terms of
peace, or even an armistice look¬
ing to effecting peace, the answer
of tho Spanish government must
be nothing but yes or no.
A dispatch from Washington
says:
The (Divisibility of putting tho
reply in the form of an ultimatum
is that it would prevent any leng¬
thy diplomatic quibbling on the
part of the Spanish government
by ofl^.i^to Spain definite terms
ujjrdn WV/eii pence could be nego¬
tiated. This "fthus
throws upon Spain liny „, respon¬
sibility of a refusal or denial.
The ultimatum will include, it
is positively stated, the cession of
Porto Rico, the independence of
Cuba, a coaling station in the Lad
rones and Philippines, and a port
of free entry in the Philippines.
This last will be left sufficiently
open to permit Spain to open ne¬
gotiations.
But pending such negotiations
as may arise, if no armistice is es¬
tablished, the Porto Rican cam¬
paign will lie vigorously jmshed.

Paris, July 29.—A telegram from
Madrid to the European edition
of the New York Herald says that
a cable dispatch has been received
at the Spanish capital announc¬
ing the surrender of Manila to Ad¬
miral Dewey.
St Thomas, July 29.—The port
of Ponce, Island of Porto Rico,
surrendered to Commander Davis,
of the auxiliary gunboat Dixie, on
Wednesday. There was no resis¬
tance, and the Americans were
welcomed with enthusiasm. The
capitulation of the town of Ponce
took place on Thursday afternoon.
Washington, July 29.—Public
men who talked with tho president
and members of the cabinet to¬
day positively assert the adminis¬
tration has reason to have confi¬
dence in the sincerity and motive
of the Spanish note; that the ad¬
ministration take the view this
note is the beginning of the end;
and that the administration is
practically certain the answer of
this government and the general
terms it will propose will be ac¬
cepted by Spain.

Atj.anta, Ga., July 21, ’98.
The gates of the most flourish¬
ing city of the south were opened
yesterday to the Confederate vete¬
rans who have assembled here to
participate in the great Re-union.
Yesterday morning the Confed¬
erate auditorium situated on the
exposition grounds,was filled to its
aumost capacity w ith people eager
to hear the addresses of welcome
and responses to same delivered
by some of Georgia’s foremost or¬
ators.
The auditorium was beautifully
and artistically decorated all over
with bunting and the stars and
stripes floated over every part.
The assembly was called to order
by Gen. Clement A. Evans, Com
in-chief of Georgia division U. C.
V. Next was a prayer by Dr. J.
William Jones D. D. chaplain of
U. C. V., after which in beautiful
and appropriate words, General
Evans introduced the Hon. Charles
A. Collier, who delivered the first
address of welcome. The great
reputation of the mayor warrants
no commendation, as he is known
at home and abroad as one of
Georgia’s foremost men and most
eloquent speakers.
This was followed by music fur¬
nished by Fifth Regiment Band,
and as the beautiful stains of Dix¬
ie and other national songs ema¬
nated from this band it enthused
and aroused the southern heroes
to such an extent that their pa¬
triotic yells stired the entire as¬
sembly so greatly that it was al¬
most impossible to secure order.
Other addresses made by lion.
T. p. Fielder and Col. W. A.
Hemphill, were eloquent and pa
triotic, but when the gallant Gor¬
don was introduced to the audi
ence cheers and tears blended to¬
gether and once more they heard
their gallant chieftain. After this
Gen. Charles E. Hooper, of Miss¬
issippi, entertained the audience
with a grand and eloquent speech.
When this was concluded, the
brave veterans participoted in a
barbecue prepared far them by the
people of Atlanta.
In the afternoon there was a re¬
union of brigades, regiments, etc.,
and among the scenes that created
excitement was a veteran striking
a soldier for singing one of his
m^t jmvious melodies^.“Hang , , ■ „„
Jeff Davis on a hour Apple Tree.”
This was repeated this morning in
the carshed by another brave vet
eran
Also among the scenes is the
wearing of „ some old gray uniforms ..
worn by the veterans in the war.
Yesterday when the gallant Gen.
Longstreet entered the Kimball
House, he was met by a number
ot veterms under Ins command
and amid tlie greetings tears came
stealing from the grand old chief¬
tain’s eyes as well as from the
other veterans.
This morning a number of vete¬
rans visited Grant’s park and saw
the excellent picture of the “Bat¬
tle of Atlanta” and as they viewed
this magnificent and wonderful
work of man, many a dormant
memory aroused to activity and
could not be withheld from the
crowd. It was enjoyable indeed
to hear the remarks of some of
these heroes.
Before closing 1 must not fail
to mention the great part that Mr.
E. P. Chamberlin did in entertain¬
ing Stewart county’s delegation,
for at his beautiful and hospitable
home Stewart’s veterans enjoyed
themselves royally, caused by this
genial host assisted by his lovable
wife and courteous son.
While the re-union is not half
over with yet, it appears that it
will be the grandest gathering
since it was organized. Fully 35,
000 visitors are present and all
seem to enjoy themselves in
growing city. The courtesies of
the Atlanta people have been nu¬
merous, and while every hotel and
boarding house in the city is tilled
still ample accommodations have
been made owing to energy, pluck
and wisdom of Atlanta’s people.

Mrs. Thad Williams of Union, is a
lady who never forgets the wants of an

by the basket of peaches which she
sent ye editor a few days ago, which
was the most luscious that we have
seen this year. The fruit was very
much appreciated by the entire Hop¬
per force, the more so from the fact
that, just at that time we happened to
be “out” of peaches: under such cir
eumstanees to say “thanks” would be
superfluous.
Notwithstanding tlie thunder of
cannon and the clash of arms around
Santiago so to speak, the good people
of Randolph county, Ga., do not forget
to honor the memory of those who
were identified with the Dost Cause.
The people down there are genuinely
patriotic and hold in memory dear
i those who gave up their lives upon the
altar of their country. All honor to
Crozier, Crittenden, the Stanfords and
the “bender” that leads and a host of
other Randolphites who under tlie
stars and stripes have plenty of room
in their hearts to honor the stars and
bars. Remember dear friends, that
while we cannot take part in your
meetings personally, we are with you
in sentiment and propose to stay with
you right there till water quits mu¬
llin' and wood quits growin’.
And there were 35,090 vets so said,at
the Re-union in Atlanta. God bless
them! May every one of them live
long and be happy! As to the ladles
who were tacitly yet so thoroughly
identified with the Confederacy, sqch
women as Mrs. Stonewall Jackson,
Mrs. E. Kirby Smith, Miss Winnie Da.
vis and so on, language is inadequate
by which to express the love and ad¬
miration in which they are held by
this scribe-love and admiration
which lias been long stowed away ill
this poor old heart. May heaven’s
choicest blessings rest upon them
while they sojourn here below, and
when done with earthly scenes and
trials, may their precious souls bask
forever in the sunshine of endless hap¬
piness, there to walk the amaranthine
groves of perenniel bliss, where Re¬
unions never break up and where wars
and rumors of wars are no more.

TO THE FARMERS
On the ist of August next
I will change my “base of op¬
erations” from the brick ware¬
house on the corner of the
public square to the wooden
building owned by W. A.
Moreland, and to be known
hereafter as the Farmers Ware
house. I simply make this an¬
nouncement to notify those
who have so liberally patron
i z ^d me in the past and those
favor me with their
patronage , h e future, to let
them know where my place of
business is. The change will
not effect the price of your
ertton at all; I will either buy
or sell you cotton at your op¬
tion; will try to keep posted in
the fluctuations of the market.
Will make liberal advances
on cotton in store and only
charge same Jates as I have to
pay. I will renew my offer on
best bales of cotton.
After the cotton season is
over I will turn my attention
again to the guano business,
and will only handle best
grades of goods. I am also
agent for the world-renowned
McCormick Harvesting Ma¬
chinery, which I will sell you
on liberal terms. •
All I ask of you is to j^jveme
a trial; I am playing, a “lone
hand”; my motto will be in the
future, as in the past, “live and
let live.”
In conclusion allow me to
thank those who have so lib¬
erally patronized me in the
past, and I respectfully solicit
a continuation of the same.
Yours truly,
W. H. TON DEE.
