C, June 15, 1838. Latest From the War. Fifteen thousaydTrbops have sailed from Tampa for Cuba audit is thought will be landed near Santiago or Guantanamo about to-morrow or next day. The marines landed at Guanta namo are almost surrounded by Spaniards and only the vessels in the bay keep them from be ing captured. The Spaniards make an attack every night and since the fighting began Satur day afternoon to Monday noon bur loss has been only six killed and five wounded. The Span ish loss is unknown ; fifteen dead Spaniards were found in one fort Monday. The Cubans as- sisted the marines in the attack Sunday night and their co-op-oration-was' not much; a success. The marines had successfully repulsed every-attack made by the Spaniards at the last ac counts. Three thousand five hun dred troops have gone on board ships at San Franciscoand will sail to-day or to-morrow for the Phillippihes. The navy department posted a telegram from Admiral Samp son yesterday stating that he had sent Lieutenant Blue ashore at Santiago and that Blue had returned after making a tour of 70 miles of the harbor and that the whole of Cervera's fleet was in the harbor. This settles the location of the Spanish fleet. News will become more in teresting when all of Uncle Sam's boys strike Cuban soil which will be in a few days. There are those who have criticised the government in the slowness of preparing troops for this war. It should be re membered that to arm and equip an army of 125,000 sol diers is a vast undertaking and that it can not be accomplished in a day, a week, nor a month. The work has been as rapidly pushed forward as possible. Cuba can't be taken in a -day and many battles will have been fought and hard service seen before our flag floats upon Morro Castle at Havana, but it will float there, despite the crafty Spaniards. Should we hold the Phillip- pine Islands we will get the principal part of their trade which Spain now gets. We f buy from them about $7,000,- j. uou ol merchandise a year and sell them practically nothing. Thev buv about $7,000,000 J worth of cotton goods a year all ol which is manufactured in Spain and this will come to us if we hold the Islands. This war will open several avenues of trade for this country which it has not had. Every) American and every American institution wishes to honor Admiral Dewey for his brilliant victory at Manila. Ihe A esterii University of Pennsylvania has conferred the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws upon him. If he should attempt to write all the degrees which have been conferred upon him. after his name, it 'would take a full page of paper to hold his signature. Some four years ago Walter Henry left the Democratic party because he failed to get an ap pointment he wanted and join ed the Populist party and was a leader in the fusion, element in the last campaign. He has been paid for his services recent ly by the appointment of Na- Spain has been collecting from Cuba $30,000,000 taxes and tribute a year, about six dollars for each man, woman and child on the island. This tax was collected without the Cuban's having any represen tation in making the laws. V-nder the war revenue bill the silver seigniorage in the United States treasury will be coined at the rate of one and a half million dollars each month. Base Ball on Sunday. In nearly every church in this country where services were held last Sunday, the pas tors and the congregations took up collections, part of which was put aside to send mission aries to the heathen to teach him of the Christ and to wor ship him and to hold the Sab bath day in reverence. While the heathen was bowing down to idols and worshiping the Sabbath of idolatry, here in our civilized Country, where the story of the Cross is known to all, games of base ball were be ing played and large numbers of spectators were witnessing them. A paragraph in Mon dav's paper reads : ''Cleveland, June 12. The first Sunday ball game here this season was played this afternoon at Elucid Beach park, nine miles from the city. A crowd of G,000 was present. A severe thunder storm interupt ed the game, but there was no interference by the authorities. ' ' Nor was Cleveland alone with this desecration of the Sabbath. Chicago had "one ot the prettiest games of the seas one," and Louisville, Ky., in our own beloved Southland, ad ded her mite to the desecration, and had a game also. Christians, in this civilized country, hold up their hands in holy horror of Spanish bull fights 'on Sunday and at the bowing down to an idol of a heathen, but we hear little de nunciation from them of the base ball games on Sunday in our enlightened and civilized country. We need missioneries at home, and need them baclly. A game of base ball on Sunday where a large crowd of gam blers and rooters gather to witness it within the shadow of church steeples, is a disgrace to civilization. If the influence of the churches and ! the Chris tian religion can't prevent it, the strong arm of the law! should. The Sabbath should be recognized' as a day set apart for rest'and be kept sacred and holy so far as in our power lies . The wickedness of some of our cities now, according to ac counts, is almost equal to that of Sodom and Gomorrah, and were it not for the .good men and. women who reside in them they would probably have re ceived the same punishment ero this. S. M. Gear v, Plerson, Minn.i wiites: "De Witt's Witch Hazel Salve is curw ing more piles here to-day than all oth er remedies corabinecl. It cures eczema si ml all other skin diseases." Hood & Grantham, Every page of Spains history has been written with blood. Her reign has been one of cruel ty and bloodshed. She will hardly have any colonies after this bout with Uncle Sam. 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. Kennon, Merchant, Odell, Ga, Hood & Grantham. I A prominent Republican re marked to us a few days ago that he hoped there would be no fusion this year and that each party would run a ticket, and let each candidate stand on the principles of his party. This man is not an office seeker and is disgusted with fusion. The Populists may force themselves .on the Republicans in this cam paign, but they are not wanted by those who are Republicans from principle. Fusion is the product of office seekers and traders. JOW are the chil dren this summer? Are they doing well ? Do thev get all the benefit they should from their food? Are their cheeks and lips of good color? And are they hearty and robust in every way? If not, then give them Scott's Imulsion of cod liver oil with hypo phosphites. It never fails to build up delicate boys and girls. It gives them more flesh and better blood. It is just So with the baby also. A little Scott's Emulsion, three or four times a day, will make the thin baby plump and prosperous. It Furnishes the oune body with just the material necessary for growing bones and nerves. All Dratrcrica tsrA SCOTT & Bowne, Chemists, N. Y. The Congressional Convention. As has been published before the' congressional convention for this district (the 3rd) is called to meet in Clinton on Thursday, June 30th, at 12 o'clock to nomi nate a candidate for Congress. If the signs of the times do not fail there will evidently be three candidates in the field this year a Democrat, a Populist and a Republican and it will be a close fight between the Demo crats and the Republicans. With: three candidates in the field the Democrats have a fighting chance to win and with the proper candidate we will win . ; Our candidate must be a manlof abilitv, and with a clean: political record ; a ; good speaker and an able debater ; one who can meet his opponent and" fearlessly uphold the prin ciples of our party and de nounce the misrule and extrav agance of the party that is now in power. There will be sev- ! eral candidates in the field for the nomination, and we must select the one best qualified for this position, and to this end it is hoped' that a large attendance from all over the district will be present when the convention meets. To win we must have har mony in the convention and the Democrats must be united on the candidate ' selected. Har nett: will probably have no candidate before the convention,-but if she does her dele gation will be solid for him un til it sees there is no hope ;for his nomination. - I The candidates most promi nently mentioned as aspirants for the nomination are Charles R. Thomas, of Craven, W. S. Cook, of Cumberland, and J. D. Kerr, of Sampson. These gentlemen are all men of char acter and ability. A! "Democrat" writing to the New Berne Journal says of Mr. Thomas : ''It is gratify ing to the many friends of Hon. Charles R, Thomas of New Berne, Craven's candidate for the nomination for Represen tative in Congress before the Democratic Convention at Clin ton, June 30th, to see that he lias not only - received the en dorsement of his own county, and neighboring county of Jones, but that he has strong support from other counties and from the press. "Always true to his, friends, and magnanimous to those who differ with him,' he is one of the most industrious and accurate men in public life, and would be an ideal candidate and. ex cellent Representative "Moreover lie is in close touch with the people, , easily the peer of any candidate, and if nominated will be elected, be cause he has a clean and in vulnerable record. The people have confidence: in his patriot ism and ability, and his per sonal popularity among all classes and conditions of men is such as to place him pre-eminently above all competitors as the 'most available candidate for the nomination."

Washington Duke, of Durham, who has given Trinity College over; $400,000, is a great man ufacturer of cigarettes and has g'own very rich from this in dustry. Trinity College is con trolled and largely patronized by the Methodists, and there is hardly a Methodist minister in the country that does not de nounce, in bitter terms, from the pulpit the manufacture and sale of cigarettes. We do not pretend to say or to intimate that the gifts of Mr. Duke to Trinity were not made with the most generous impulses and with a patriotic purpose, but there are those who believe that Mr. Duke gives his money to Trinity to keep the Methodists from making a broadside on slaught on the manufacturer of cigarettes. Statements similar to this we have heard made in the pulpit. The human machine starts i but crnefe and stops but once.

Vance Still Lives. If Vance were living Bryan's plan of co-operation would have been adopted at the State Democratic Convention. The Caucasian. Oh, no ; Vance still lives in his influence over Democracy in North Carolina, and it was a part of that selfsame influence which held together the forces of Democracy almost as a unit against fusion. From the first moment the delegates from the various counties were seated in the convention hall 90 per cent, were solidly opposed to fusion. All this rot about the State Democratic convention being dominated by gold-bug in fluences, railroad attorneys and monoply money is quite small talk and is untrue. , Populist papers have raised the howl that farmers were conspicious in that convention bv their ab sence. Well, that may have been true ; but the ; editor of The Commonwealth was there and can answer for two coun ties, Harnett and Halifax. The delegation from Harnett, our native county, was one-half, if not; two-thirds farmers, and out of all the delegates from Halifax nearly half were farm ers. : j - No ; the convention voiced the honest sentiment of the ma jority of the Democrats of North Carolina, and it is the personal duty of every j Dem ocrat in the State to buckle on the armor and fight valiantly from now until the closing of the polls on election day. Count that man a coward who tries to dodge responsibil ity because his own pet ideas and personal preferences were not favored in the voice Of the people through the State con vention. Scotland Neck Com monwealth. The idea that gold bugs and corporation lawyers were the controlling influence iii the State convention is refuted by Mr. Hilliard, the editor of the Commonwealth. Harnett and Halifax are not all the counties that were represented by dele gates,, a majority of whom were farmers. This howl of the Caucasian is perfectly natural with it. It has been howling ever since it took down from its masthead its motto of "white supremacy" and of course will continue to keep its ululations before its readers, so long as they will listen. It mentions the" fact that Walter P. Byrd from this county was a delegate, and howls that he was a Palmer and Buckner; elector in the last campaign. True, this is ; but Mr. Byrd is a Democrat and subscribes to the Democratic platform, with the probable ex ception of the free coinage of of silver. He is also a farmer, and will vote to restore; North Carolina back to the Democratic party and a white man's gov ernment, wliicJi is dearer to the people of the State than free silver or government own ership of railroads. The Cuban question and political is sues sink into insignificance with the man who suffers from rules What he most desires, is relief. De Witt's Witch Hazel Salve cures piles. , Hood & Gran tham. - The heroes of the fighting in Cuban waters have been North Carolinians or descendants of North Carolinians. When Car olinians are called upon for du ty they: respond and with a de termination to do it faithfully. This is characteristic of them m all walks of life, and North Car olina can justly boast of the best citizeuShip of any State in the Union there is none better to be found anywhere. i An Ton Wenltl Weakness manifests itself in the loss of ambition and aching bones.

Browns' Iron Bitters is sold by all dealers. Tax Levy. The county commissioners at their last meeting levied taxes for this year at the same rate as for last , year. General State and county taxes tare 66f cents on the $100 wortli of property and $2.00 on the poll. Special county tax is I3i cents on the $100 worth of property and 40 cents on the poll. The total tax will be 80 cents on property and $2.40 on the pdil. The board found that it had a surplus of special tax funds on hand and ordeted that it be ap plied, to the payment of the bonds.

Refreshing showers have fal len in this community and crops look refreshed. Miss Elma Layton, of Bladen county, is visiting relatives and friends in this community. Miss Lula Williford visited Miss Viola Jones, at the home of her grand-mother, Mrs. Susan Layton, last week. The, calm quiet vicinity , has again been awakened by Cupid's wiles. Mr. A. P. West, of this community, led to the hymen eal altar, on June the 4th, Miss Susan J. Brown, of McKay, and took upon themselves the vows that made them one. May a life of much happiness be their portion. The writer had an experience with the bees last Monday night and was stung severely, but was rewarded with a copious supply of honey, Uncle Jimbo. All indications point to an ending of the war with Spain before much longer and the probability is that the 125000 troops now mustered in will be sufficient. Spain it is thought will sue for peace through the powers. The Phillippines and Porto Rico will be held for in demnity and Cuba will be made free. Diseases of the Blood and Nerves.
