OUR CANDIDATES For Congress : Charles R Thomas v For Solicitor : Edward W Pou Latest From the War. To-cLay's papers state that the city of Santiago is still occupied by the Spanish troops. The American away has been rest ing on their arras since 2 o'clock Monday afterroon when the Spanish commander sent out a flag of truce and has since been considering terms of surrender. In the mean time Shafter has thrown his troops in a line all around the city and has cut off every avenue of escape. The bombardment of the citv was to be renewed to-day unless the Spaniards surrendered. The American forces have been greatly re-enforced in the last few days, and now hold im pregnable positions. General Miles has arrived there with his personal staff. In the bombardment Sunday and Monday the fleet stood out at sea and throwed heavy shells over the hills into the city seven miles away. One shell struck a church in which was stored an immense quantity of ammu nition which exploded. Two men were killed and four wound ed on the American side dur ing the engagement Sunday. The refuges from the city are suffering greatly. General ghafter is endeavoring to relieve them as much as possible. The captured soldiers on Cer vera's fleet haye been taken to Portsmouth, N. -H. ; Admiral - Cervera and his officers are at Annapolis, Md., held as prison , ers of war. "Y Watson will sail to-day with his fleet for the Spanish coast to intercept Camara's fleet which is now on its way back to Spain. It is the opinion that Santiago will be surrendered without much further fighting. Senator Butler has been trying to make capital of the number of lawyers that are on the State Democratic Executive committee and lastweek furnish ed the readers of the Caucasian with a list of the committee and the occupation of each. He finds quite a number of lawyers in the list and says those that are not railroad law yers now hope to be. He says that he can find only twro farm ers in the list and one of these is not a farmer because he is able to live without working on the farm himself. The News and Observer of Saturday gave a list of the names of the ex ecutive committees of all three of the parties. There are six teen members of the executive committee of the Republican party and jtwenty-six , members of the committee of ; the Pop ulist party. Of the sixteen members of the Republican committee fourteen of them are holding office under McKinley. Four of them are negroes. Of the twenty-six members of the Populist committee only two are fai'Mers and the others are office holders. Three of the number are lawyers. The Democrats of the sixth district nominated Hon. John D. Bellamy, of New Hanover, as their candidate for congress. His opponent will be Col. O. H. Dockery who was nominat ed by a Republican negro con vention and endorsed by the Populists, but , Mr. Bellamy will give him a warm fight. He will remind the Colonel of the days of 1876 before he gets through the campaign. The postmaster at Wilson has had to walk the plank and a negro takes his place. We find white men in this county who say they are opposed to negroes holding office, yet they continue to vote the Republican ticket and for the party that ives them omce. ; Killed by his Train. Monday evening about 2 :25 o'clock near Black river bridge, Capt. W. D. Williamson, con ductor of the work train No. 3, was run over by his train and kijled. Capt. Boney, the en gineer, picked the wounded mm up and put him in his car and brought him here as quick as possible'. Dr. Harper, physician for the road in this section was summoned to him but to no avail, he was breathing his last when he reached him. He liv ed twenty minutes only after he was picked up. His body was taken on the southbound mail to Fayette'ville where it was dressed and prepared for burial. The deceased was about 40 years of age, married but had no children. His home was in Cheraw, S. C, where his wife resides. He was a splendid railroad nan and held in high esteem by the company. -The manner of his death was peculiarly sad. The train was pushing backward going to'the gravel pit between this place and Benson. None of the hands on the train saw him fall. The cook saw him leave his car and thought he was going out to signal the engine as there was a cow on the track. He lost his balance some way and fell be tween the cars, the trucks pass ing over his body nearly full length, frightfully mangling it. The right leg was broken and mangled, a deep gash in the back and abdomen, was moving slowly engineer thinks that The train and the after the first truck passed over him he pulled himself off the track and out of the wav of the next. He was partly sitting up when they got to him and he said that his back was broken and that he was killed and called for his engineer. He was bleeding rapidly and said only a few words. No blame is attached to the crew of the train. The annexation of the . Ha waiian Islands has been made and the United States now has some new territory four thous and miles . from San Francisco. To keep these islands it will be necessary to keep a regiment of soldiers there all the time and a warship or two for the pro tection of the coasts. The prin cipal town on the island is Honolulu where the seat of government is now located. The soil is very fertile and the clim ate mild and healthy. The population is mixed and leprosy is common on the islands a large leper colony situated not far distant from the town of llonolulu. The vote on annex ation was almost on party lines the Republicans voting for and the Democrats against an nexation. It is not a very de sirable addition to our govern ment. According to the Caucasian, Senator Butler's paper, all farmers who are able to live without working on the farm themselves, are not farmers. If a farmer has been successful and lives well without laboring himself, although all he has is invested in farming and he has immense acres in corn and wheat, tobacco and cotton, he is not a farmer, but according to the Caucasian would be class ed as a -gold bug and not a friend to the laboring classes. With Hawaii, the Ladrones, the Philippines, Porto Rico, and probably Cuba Uncle Sam will have islands to sell, if any government wants to buy. He will have too many to keep. OME oersons sav it is natural for them to lose flesh durin? summer. But losing flesh is losing ground. Can you afford to approach another win ter in this weakened con dition? Coughs and colds.weak throats and lungs, come quickest to those who are thin in flesh, to those eas ily chilled, to those who have poor circulation and feeble digestion. of cod liver oil wilh hypo phosphites does just as much good in summer as in winter. It makes flesh in August as well as April. You certainly need as strong nerves in July as in January. And your weak throat and lungs should be healed and strength ened without delay. 8COTT BOWXE.

The second regiment is now complete, hav ing 1332 officers and men, and will be ready to go to the front at short notice now. Sick headache, biliousness, constipa tion and liver and stomach troubles can be quickly cured by uiiisr those famous Utile pills known at DeWitt's Little Ear y Risers. Thuy are pleasant to take and never gripe. Hood & Grantham. Three Years in the Penitentiary. Oscar and Willie Wiggs who deserted from the Goldsboro company in the first regiment and were caught at Savannah, Ga., and taken back to Jack sonville, have been ; tried by court-martial, found guilty of desertion and sentenced to three years hard labor. They have been sent to Johnson's Island, New York, and put in prison. They are brothers and lived near Goldsboro. Four other members of the same company deserted when they did, but so far have not been caught. ' This should be a lesson to young men who. are thinking of enlisting. Desertion is a grave offence, and when made in front of the enemy the pen alty is death. : , Lillington Gleanings.
