I 0 THE COUNTY UNION. DUNN, llarnett County, N. C. Entered aeeouling to postal regula gions at the postoftice at Dunn, N. C, as tecond class matter. J. P. PlTTMAN, Proprietor, A. M. WOODALL, Editor. TERfflS OF SUBSCRIPTION. Three Months. 25 Cents. Six Months.... 50 Cents. One Year.......... $1.00. Sent by Mail. Payable in advance. Dunn, N. C May 25, 1838. Latest From the War. Yesterday afternoon the re port was received that Sampson had met the Spanish fleet in the Windward Passage off the east end of Cuba and had com pletely destroyed it with the loss of only one vessel. Later reports failed to confirm this and to-day's papers state that no battle has been fought, but it was expected that a battle would be fought this week. Sampson and Schley are said to be on the southern coast of Cuba scouting for the Spanish fleet. The government gives out very little news now and facts are hard to obtain. . News 'from Manila is to the effect that Dewey is still main taining the blockade and await ing re-inforcements which, it is stated, will sail from San Fran cisco to-day. Thirty six thousand volunteer troops are in camp at Chicka mauga Park and it is expected there will be fourty-four thous and by Saturday. The invasion of Cuba is ex pected to commence in a few weeks if not days. Soldiers' Train Wrecked. The' first regiment of N. C. troops left Raleigh Sunday morning on the Southern road for Tampa, Florida. They went in three trains running a few minutes apart. The trains were scheduled to make thirty five miles an hour and went safely through all of them ' ex cept the third section which had a collision with a freight train Monday morning about 5 :45 o'clock ten miles south of Savanah, Ga., in which Private W. M. Barbee of Durham, a member.'of Company. I, was killed, and Private J. M. Col clough of the same place and company was mortally wound ed. This train carried the third batallion, Major George E.Butler, of Clinton, com manding. Several others were slightly hurt, most of them escaping by jumping off the cars, the engineer having seen the freight train coming in time to stop his train and give the alarm. The collision is said to be due to the carelessness of the freight train crew, the enginer and conductor taking to the woods to escape the wrath of the soldiers. Barbee and Colclough were caught between two of the cars. A detail of seven privates and a corporal was made to escort, the dead and wounded man to their homes and left Savanah Mon day evening for Durham. Barbee was 26 jears of age and was a native of Wake county where his father and mother and three sisters now reside. Colclough is also a native of Wake county but had lived for several years in Durham where he conducted a small grocery store lie is about forty years of age, is a widower and has two small children. He is said to be mortally injured and will probably die before he reaches Durham. At Columbia, S. C, Col. Armfield commanding the regi ment received orders to stop at Jacksonville and go into camp with his regiment. The boys, with the exception of this la mentable accident, arrived safe ly in Jacksonville Monda evening and struck camp, all sad over the loss of two of their comntdes. The long voyage of the Ore gon is one of the most remark able on record. She sailed from San Francisco around Cape Home to Key West, a distance of over 13,000 miles and on her arrival her machinery was in perfect repair. On the first page of this issue will be seen a cut of this mighty man-of-war. S. M. Gearv, Plerson, Minn., wiite: "De Witt's "Wircli Hazel Salve is cur ing more piles here to-day than all oth er remedies combined. It cures eczema jind all other skin diseases." Hood & Grantham, Bute's Creek Commence merit Fully 3, 000 'People Witness the Exercises. Buie's Creek is indeed the Empire of knowledge of Har nett county, located upon crest ed hills, and with the flag of learning floating over her mag- nificcnt buildings, she looks with gracious smiling eyes on verdant plains and luxuriaent valleys, watered by limpid streams that flow in tranquil loveliness ; where oak and pine bow to meet the gentle breeze. These attractions so richly ad ded to by her hospitable homes, the courtliness of her dames, the chivalry of her men, and the beauty, freshness and in nocence of her girls, all go to make it up as a place of con tentment and happiness- Notwithstanding the heat and dust full three thousand people witnessed the exercises there last Thursday, and not an expression from any one has been heard but what was in the highest words of praise. The whole from beginning to end was a success. The commencement exercises began Wednesday evening at 7 :30 o'clock with a welcome song by the school after which came the reciter's contest recitations by the young ladies of the' school, interspersed with music. A good large audience was present and the young la dies looked charming and de lighted their hearers with splendid recitations admirably delivered. All deserve a medal but only one was given and the judges awarded it to Miss May me Byrd, of Poe's, who re cited "Lady Maud's Oath." Thursday morning at 10 o'clock the large Tabernacle building was filled to its ut most capacity when the exer cises began which consisted of speeches, declamations, , dia logues, and music. , At 11 o'clock the content for the orator's medal began, W. G. Hall, of Falcon, leading with ' 'None live to themselves, ' ' followed in succession by W. H, Upchurch, of Morisville, "North Carolina in the twen tieth century ;" W. A. Stancil, of Garner, "Carving a name ;" M. W. Simons, of Wake Forest, "Self Mastery and statesman ship ;" W. T. Hurst, of Ewing, "Character and the need of our times ;" J. L. Woodall, of Ben son, "North Carolina's Re deemer." Each of these young gentlemen acquitted himself with ease and eloquence and gave evidence of rare oratorical attainments. The judges awarded the gold medal to Mr. Simons. After the oratorical contest was over D. H. McLean, Esq., of Dunn, in a few well chosen sentences and in his own happy style introduced Rev. C. A. G. Thomas, of Fayetteville, who delivered the annual address. When Mr. Thomas announc ed his s u b j e c t "Postage Stamps," both pupils and audience were put to wondering what he could make of that subject, but before he had gone far with his discourse they could all see the trend of the application and for and hour he held'liis hearers almost sjell bound as he would rise to flights of eloquence in relating the uses and lessons applicable to life to be obtained by the study of the postage stamp. ,One il lustration he made of it is not very much relished by the boys Advice to onsumptivesi There are three great reme- X dies that every person with weak lungs,or with consump- t J tion itself, should understand.' I These remedies will cure about every case in its first stages ; and many of those X X more advanced. It is only the most advanced that are hopeless. Even these are f wonderfully relieved and life t itself greatly prolonged. What are these remedies ? i I Fresh air, proper food and scon's imnisioQ X of Cod-Liver Oil with Hypo- phosphites. Be afraid of X draughts but not of fresh air. Eat nutritious food and drink J I plenty of milk. Do not forget X that Scott's Emulsion is the oldest, the most thoroughly tested and the highest en- X dorsed of all remedies for weak throats, weak lungs and f I consumption in all its stages. 2 X soc and $ i. oo; U druggists.

The sticking quality was made with proper licking but if not enough- or too much the effect was destroyed. Ke made and excellent illustration on this. In fact the who!? ad dress was gems of original thought admirably arranged and eloquently delivered. After the address dinner was announced and the good house wives and dames of that com munity took great baskets of delicious viands and spread an elegant dinner to which they invited their friends and vis itors and in all that large gath ering of people were none not invited I to partake of their hospitality. In the afternoon at 2 o'clock the people gathered at the tab ernacle again to witness a re union of old students. Address es were made by Prof. J. M. Page of Union Hill Academy, Mr. Lonnie Smith, of Bradley's Store, and W. A. Stewart, Esq., of Dunn, Miss Flor.a Long rendered a selection on the piano and Mrs. Eunice Betts Cavaenaugh, of Benson, gave a recitation. After this came ex ercises by the school consisting of recitations, dialogues etc, until 5 o'clock when the school was marched out oh the campus for the military drill which was one of the most pleasant ex ercises of the day. Again at 8 o'clock the people met to; witness the contest for the declaimer's medal which was contested for by eight young men, Mr. D. M. Hall, of Fal con, winning the prize. After this came more recitations, dialogues, awarding of medals etc., which lasted until after the midnight hour had struck. Thus ofosed one of the most successful sessions of the school, the enrollment reaching 257. A gold pen was awarded to W. R. Royal for best penman ship. A gold medal to P. T. Beasley for the best map of North Carolina, and one to R, E. Lee for best drilled cadet in the military. ; Diplomas were issued to the following graduates : Samuel McLamb, S. P, Williams, W. H. Upchurch, J. B. and W.J. Tugwell, C. A. Creech, John Bogus, N. G. Myatt, Jr., J. W. Akin, F. M. Brigers and Misses Hattie Peel, Dora Yarboro, and Flora Long. A Sure Thing for You.

Seems to be holding up his end of the string at Porto Rico, just destroying the fortifications and capturing the towns. Must have a little of the grit that , Samson of old possessed. He destroyed his thousands without a gun, and of course it was expected with alt the late improved guns and battleships at the' command of the Sampson-of to-day, that he would clean up the Spanish fleet on the high seas and knock the forts into a cocked hat. While there are late improved guns there are also late improved Bicycles, and these bicycles are on sale at GAiWEV & JORDAN'S who have turned loose their big guns on the strong fortification of HIGH PRICES, and its walls are now crumbled and an up-to-date Bicycle can now be obtained at prices never before heard of.

Parker, Sharon, Wis., writes: "I have tried DeWitt's Witch TIazel Salve for itching piles and it always stops them in two minutes. I consider DeWitt's Witch Hazel Silve the great est pile cure on the market," Hood & Grantham, If present you can eadorse the administration of the State government a wise and economical then you can fuse with the Populist party. It asks you to do this before giv ing you the privilege of operating with it. CO- Late to bed and early to rise, prepares a man for his home in the skies. Early to bed and a Little Early Rises, the pill that makes life longer and tetter and wiser. Hood & Grantham. Spain it is said is protesting to the powers against the lie the Spaniards have made that some American warship had entered a Cuban port flying the Spanish flag. She claims this a great injustice to her flag and such it would be if it were true, but we think that Dewey and Sampson have convinced her that the flag of the United States is all the protection they Want. One "Minute Cough Cure is the best preparation I have ever .sold or used and I can't say too .much in its praise." L. M.

PSON It is stated that quite a num ber of soldiers of the first regi ment deserted when the order came for the regiment to move for Tampa. This action on the part of the deserters is a dis grace to themselves and to the fair name of the State. They volunteered of their own free will and no doubt that they were informed as to the gravity of the course they were taking. Desertion should not be coun tenanced by the public. The war with Spain may not be popular, but it is our country that is in this war and it must have soldiers, be the cause right or wrong, and when a man joins the" army and takes an oath to support the United States, with his life if need be, the people should make that oath morally binding. War is not child's play but work where each man must do his part. A deserter isjlooked upon by all the world as a coward and a dis grace to citizenship. We trust that no more of our boys will do so rash an act as to desert Besides being denounced for ever afterward as a deserter and a coward, it is an offence against, the government and subject to severe' punishment (if not death) if caught.
