Baalca-PewtUs E,aat Fight, A delayed telegram from Maf eking of the 14th (three days before the relief force arrived) sires this picturesque account of Baden-Powell's skillful fight on the 13th: The whole town is animated with a keen sense of exultation over yester day's victory, which was complete, decisive and far-reaching. The military position ' shortly after sunrise was extraordinary. All the outlying- works of the town were intact, the British had lost hardly any men and yet three bodiea of Federals right inside the British lines had been sur rounded aid cut off. - ', Commandant Sarel Eloff did not real ize that bis supports had been driven back and he informed a messenger that thetown was at his mercy. Toward noon there was a lull in th fighting. Everybody at headquarters went to breakfast and the commissariat requi sitioned for horse sausage, bread and water for the men on the fighting: i'-ne. There was no thought of half rations. Everyone got all he could eat. The British in the staat, moving from rock to rock, gradually drew in their eirele around the Federals, whom they eorraled like cattle in -a compound. Shortly after 4:30 p. m. a white flag was hoisted by the Boers, and then, amid ringing cheers, the first batch of them were disarmed and sent to the town. The erstwhile besiegers furnished an inspiring spectacle to the townsfolk, themselves so long cooped np. As the hungry, dirty, battle stained : Boers marched between the gleamiog bayo nets of the British, the British popula tion received them respectfully, but the Kaffirs gave fnll rein to their enthusi asm in hoots, yells and similar expres sions of delight. The prisoners seemed glad that the fight was over. As the afternoon advanced the crackle of musketry began again, con tinuing until nearly 7 o'clock, . when Captain Singleton shouted " Cea&e fire !" A message had come from headquar ters to the effect that Eloff, his officers and men had surrendered and had laid down arms unconditionally to Colonel Hore, who, with a handful of men, bad been a rrUoner of Eloff most of the day. Shortly before' this a fusillade was heard. It was Eloff and the men who stood by him firing on their own de serters, 80 of whom fled. As the news spread by telephone to the garrisons of the Maf eking forts cheer upon cheer resounded. Ia the town some one started "God Save the Qaeen," and the strains of the national anthem mingled for a few minutes with the hoarse shouting of the natives. Soon Captain Singleton and Colonel Hore approached, accompanied by Commandant Eloff and bis officers. This meeting between Colonel Baden Powell and the Boer commander was dramatic. , "This is Commandant Eloff, sir," said Captain Singleton. ' "Good evening. Commandant," said Colonel Baden-Powell. "Won't yon come and have some dinner f As the British had already eaptnred 120 prisoners, about all they could handle. Colonel Baden-Powell sent word to Lord Charles Benttnek to open the way and allow the scattered re mains of the Federals to be driven from the staat. In half an hour every thing was over and in the mess room at headquarters the three Boer officers were dining. Nearly every mess in town raked np somewhere a hidden store of liquor, a bottle of champagne in one place, a flask of whisky in another. The whole town joined in the jubilation, singing 'tiGod Save the Qaeen" and other patri otic songs all nig nr. . ' The rank and file of the Boer priso ners were lodged at Masonic Hall. Most of them are Johannesbnrgers. They seemed in exeellert spirits, scram bled for the blankets issued, wrote let ters to their . friends and grnmbled at General Snyman. ' KTJMBIR3 CRUSH BOIBS. Yesterday's Baltimore Snn thus sums np the situation in South Africa : - Lord Roberta has gained another mint h fnriin7 thn naJiaaire of the Bhenoster river, in- the Orange Free Bute, 3U miles norm or. jvroonsiaa. TTa aoffnmnlishad thia bv swineinir his huge army around the Boers intrenched on the north, bans or tne river nniu they were almost, enveloped, lhen they retreated. The same plan of action, -it is be lieved, will be followed throughout T.irrl RnhArta' advance, to the Vaal. He moved on the Boers from the front with his center column, which ne him self commanded. General French, on u A l.r ik...i.n.il t Vi a RnAra' lnft and rear and General Hamilton threatened their right. The ttoers were greatly outnumbered and saw that the ease was hopeless. A stiff fight occurred when Uenerai Hamilton crossed the Bhenoster on the right. Lord Roberts says : "Oar loss might have been heavy, out tor a weu eencerted plan which . brought Smith Tlnrrion'a Rrifrade on the enemv's flank jast at the right moment." The loss of 75 men in namUten'srorce nas aireaay been reported.

The British army opposing them in tne norinern part of the Free State is estimated at from 70.000 to 100,000 meiu Though all of these are not actually in the im mediate vicinity of the Rnenoater, they can be called together at short notice. The ptesent headquarters of the British commander-in-chief are at Honing sprnit, a short distance south of the Rhenoster. He is still 6o miles south of the Vaal river. w II It is now definitely known in Lon don that the Boers hold the wonderful natural fortress of Lalng's nek, at the northern end of Natal.

Editor Obsibvib: Io the early part of April last past, I observed among the shade trees and orchards in and aroaod the city, numerous webs of the tent caternillar in varinnn nracraa nf development, which by the 23rd of the inuoca, naa matured to the mil grown worm, about two inches io length. By that date the occupants ot the tents began to scatter and prey upon the young foliage. Meanwhile, I did what I eould individually to destroy the worms and arrest the nlacnn whnrnvnr I discovered the tents in the crotches of the branches, going so far in some eases as to pay from my own pocket for their timely removal. I invariably called the attention of lot owners to their presence. ' . ! - Obiter, inasmuch as almost every one whom I approached seemed not to appreciate the prospectivo devastation which these destructive pests certainly forecast, I beg that yon will find spaee in your valuable paper, (whiob habit ually looks ont for the interests of everybody), to print at ibe proper time the results of a studied investigation which I made, professionally, of de structive visitations in Minnesota and Vermont in the years 1897 and 1899 respectively; a report ot the same hav ing been made to the Entomological division ot the agricultural department at Washington, D. C.,- at the time, ac companied by specimens in the larval, vermicular, and ephemeral stages of transition. The information given will, I trust, be of service to the resi dents of Cumberland eonnty; premising that no immediate damage of conse quence need be apprehended, while a timely application of remedial measures next spring will be sure to avert what in the natural order ot things would prove a calamity. Also, it may be well to mention at the outset that there is a forest tent caterpillar aud an orchard caterpillar, differing materially, though closely related, and that there are two varieties ot the former. At least two forms are already widely distributed, as is obvious from the antipodal local ities where they have appeared. The history of the visitation in Douglas eounty, Minnesota, is unique, as herewith given, to wit: On or about June 1, the residents of the stricken territory became conscious of a peculiar undertone in the trunks of the exuberant forest trees, more de cidedly in the basswoods. It sounded like the crackling ot . burning grass in a stow running prairie fire, and those who looked upward to ascertain the cause discovered for the first time, per haps, myriads of white thickly woven webs as big as one's hand in the forks ot the branches, some of them filled with eggs of the size and color of rape seed, and others with . worms in various stages of development from a half inch to an inch and a half in length. A closer scrutiny discovered the trunks and limbs of the trees covered with repulsive fnll grown caterpillars as thickly as they could form in vertiele parallel rows,heads np, and all climbing. Thence they made their way tp the foliage. Later on they appeared on the elm, ash, oak, poplar, maple, birch and aspen trees, and in the eourse of two weeks defoliated them all until they were as bare ot leaves as in mid winter. They ate the stems as well as entire leaves, and when their work was done ia one location, they migrated in solid ranks, like army worms, in search of fresh food. In leaving the trees they would rise on their two extremities and let go with a snap, the fall to the ground not appearing to hurt them at alL In the eourse of these migrations they epvered everything : the ground, railroad tracks, verandas, porches, sides oT bouses, np to the second story, but seldom higher, and house dwellers eould not move out ot doors without first sweeping the worms from before them. In entering the house from out doors numbers would be found upon the person. The novelty of the nui sance alone seemed to mitigate it. Railroad trains were stalled on the tracks and foot gear was in a chronic state of pollution, smeared wiih mashed worma. .... . From the shape and construction of its nest this pest is known as the "tent caterpillar." - Its scientific name Is eluio eampa diutria. It closely resembles the orchard tent caterpillar in its moth and lar. The latter need occasion no consternation among vigilaut far mers, because it can be averted by the application of a kerosene torch to the webs as soon as tbey are formed and noticed. Selectmen of towns ought to have an inspector, and compel all far mers to attend, to this under penalty for remissness. It is the only safety for a community. This will keep them off the shade trees . as well. A twelve foot pole and a ladder will reach almost anywhere they estab lish themselves. This much . for the nests and nits. . For mature worms, after they attack the foliage, . and especially ' when they are aligned around the trunks and branches of trees, a kerosene emulsion composed of two gallons kerosene, one gallon of boiling water and one half pound of bar soap, can be used with telling ef fects. For forest trees there seems to be no preventive, because the benefit or saving to be gained does not seem com mensurate with the expense and trouble involved. The eggs of the tent eater pillar are distinguished by being rather Equarely truncate at either end and form uniform bands aiound the twigs on which they are deposited, usually from three to four hundred eggs occur ring in a cluster. The young caterpil lar becomes fully formed within the egg during the winter and remains in a torpid oondition until spring. The larvte hatch about the time the leaf buds are opening ; but should tbey hatch, earlier they are able to survive for a long period, for several weeks say, without food. Tbey often exhibit a tendency to march in processions, fioding delight in traveling in rows along fence boards or across roads at a brisk pace. This is probably chiefly when tbey are migrating in search of fresh food. LarfffLreach full growth in about six weeks, attaining a length of an inch and a half to two inches, and one of a bluish color sprinkled all over with black points and dots and exhib iting a very marked row of diamond shaped whitish yellow spots along the back, the body being profusely covered with black and reddish lines.' Cater pillars attain full growth about the middle of June, and spin np usually within the shelter of a leaf, the edges nf which are Dartlv drawn together. They also spin up under bark, or under fence rails, clapboards, seats of benches, or any other suitable hiding plaoe. Farmers will do well to watoh their shade trees and orchards from this time on, and avert damage. The chrysalis stage is assumed in two or three days, and the moth appears in the eourse of two or three weeks more, living just long enough to deposit its eggs. Being a night flier it is not often seen. It is of a doll, reddish , brown color, the four wings being crossed by two oblique lines and measuring three fourths of an inch or more in length, and an inch or more in the expanse of its wines. The Ian sa are seldom abundant for many years in succession, because when they do. become numer ous, insect parasites, soon as ichneu mon flies ana taehina flies, reduce them to insignificant numbers. I a middle Minnesota there was a supplementary visitation ot late hatching caterpillars in the latter part of June which at once attacked, whatever trees and shrubs the - first invasion had spared, namely, the ash, maple or box elder, the locust, alder, sumach, woodbine, wild grape vine, and even the milk weed and thistle. . Tbey were eepee ially hard on the second growth leaves of the oaks, which were juicy and ten der and aboat half matured. . I am yoors, very truly, " .. .1 ' Charles H allock, Member ot the Academy ot Soienees, Washington, D. C. Oar Llgat-riDgsred Carpat-aaggirs. : Baltimore Son " ' . " - 5 T "Trade follows the flag," declares the average "boomer" ot territorial expan sion. In one respect the statement is correct. "Trade" has unquestionably followed the flig in Cuba, and the "hustling" politicians who have been given official positions in the island have done a rushing business with the money of the Cuban people. Where "trade? has not taken the shape of bald theft it has assumed the form of extravagance. A statement submitted to the Senate by the Secretary of War shows that of the total expenditure of $14,000,000 from the Cuban revenues last year more than $4,000,000 was ex pended for salaries and .for "extraor dinary expenses ordered by the Military Governor." One official who went to Cuba on a salary of $4,000 a year now receives $6,500. In addition he occu pies one ot the finest palaces in Havana at the expense ot the Cubans and has a retinue of servants and a carriage and spanking team pf horses, the cost of which is defrayed by the Cuban treas ury. Western politicians who were accustomed to living upon' moderate compensation at home have been pro vided with the money to live luxuri ously in Cuba. They are, of ceurse, convinced that "trade follows the fltg," and doubtless would like to carry the flag to all parts of the world where there are as good "pickings" as in Cuba. One of Mr. MeKinley'a proteges in Havana, however, was not satisfied with his liberal salary and other bless ings which the flag enabled him to Bojoy at the expense of the Cubans. us is Charged with growing rich by criminal "trade" methods, and if he can be taken back to the island he may be punished for bis wrong doing. Without action by Congress it is feared he will escape punishment. President McKinley, through Attorney General Griggs, has, therefore, appealed to Congress to enact a sweeping extradi tion law. The United States stands in a peon liar relation to Cuba. Reeently during a debate in the Senate npon the extra pay allowed military officers in viola tion of the Revised Statutes an Admin istration Senator argued that Congress bad nothing to do with the government of the island. President McKinley, it was maintained by this Senator, is the supreme authority , in the island and eould sanction a violation of the Re vised Statutes in Cuba which would not be permitted in the TJoited States. Cuba ia under military occupation, and President MeKinley's authority in the island is not limited by the laws ot the United States or by the Constitution. If, however, one of the carpet bag offi cials whom the President has sent to the island steals right and left and returns to the United States there is no legal way by which be can be sent back to Cuba to be punished for his misdoings. He cannot, it appears, be tried in this country for an offense committed in Cuba. Congress, there fore, must legislate, according to the Administration view, before C. F. W. Keely, now detained in New York, ean be taken back to Cuba to "be tried for the crime he is charged with com mitting. Attorney General Griggs urges Con gress to pass a law providing that "all the statutes of the United States con cerning extradition to foreign countries, in Dursaance of treaties, shall apply to and govern extradition to the Island of Cuba while occupied by the United States in" the same manner and to the same effect as though Cuba were a eountrv with which a treaty existed stipulating and providing for extradition." " The House Committee on the Judiciaiy is of the ' opinion, however, that the questions involved in the bill drawn by the Attorney General are of too far reaching a char acter to be settled off hand; Some of the members think that the military authority which the President exercises over the island should enable Mr. Mc Kinley to send back to Cuba any per son employed in the government of the island charged with malfeasance in office The question is an open one, and tne House Committee is evidently unwilling to take any action until it has conferred with the executive de partment of the Government and rep resentatives of the Senate. It would be a pity if any of the men who are alleged to have stolen funds belonging to the Cuban Treasury shall escape punishment by flight to the United States. The scandal would be ugly enough if all those who are guilty should be punished according to their deserts. There seems to have beeq a great deal of official crookedness in Cuba by Mr. MeKinley's carpet bag appointees. It is, however, the logical consequence of our imperial policy. If Cuba bad been given independence and allowed to govern herself the American people wonld have eceaped the shame and disgrace which have been brought npon tbem by greedy and unscrupulous politicians. This Government should return to the Cu bans the money stolen by dishonest rffioials sent to the island from the United States. The next step should be to withdraw our soldiers and allow the Cubans to govern Cuba without the assistance of our light-fingered carpet baggers.

The United Sons of Confede rate Veterans is an organization that has existed for many years. It num beta among its membership some of the most prominent men in the South. The object of the organization is en tirely ' social, but the members have done a great deal of good in the allevi ation of suffering caused by the civil war. ' Mr. Brant H.

For some time it has been the desire of a great many people io Colorado, who are sons of Confederate veterans, to belong to this organiza tion, but there has never been one who eonld devote the time necessary for the organization of a local-camp. - Mr. W. R. Kivett ot this city has, however, agreed to take np the work and he has been appointed a ma jar general in the order, and placed in eommand of the department of Colorado.

About a year ago one of Gray's Creek's most popular young ladies, an swered the advertisement of a young man in California, who stated that he wished to marry a Tar Heel girl. They began, a correspondence which continued np to two months ego, when the young man made the jonrney across the continent and unexpectedly .made his appearance at the girl's home. The young lady was thought to be on the point of death from pneumonia, but she rallied, and the Calif ornian re mained through ' her long illness and convalescence. A few days ago, when she got well enough to see him, they became engaged, and when he returns from a business trip south, on which he started last Tuesday, they are to be married." -' . Another interesting 'circumstance in the ease is that the young man's father was born in Fayetteville, and ia now a physician in Massachusetts. The ancients believed that rheuma tism was the work of a demon within a man. Any one who has had an attack of sciatic or inflammatory rheumatism will agree that the infliction is demo niao enough to warrant the belief. It has never been olaimed that Chamber lain's Pain Balm . would cast out de mons, but it will enre rheumatism, and hundreds bear testimony to the truth of this statement.

The invitation, coming as it does. without my privity, and urged for the reasons given, and being signed by the surviving members of the legislative committee, and by active members of our local association, the objection oc curring to me, that I am chairman of that association, seems to be removed, and I know you would not ask me to do what is justly liable to criticism on the score ot delicacy. My friendship tor Governor Vance. and my admiration of him, founded npon intimate official and personal re lations would make me hesitate to re fuse to do anything in my power that might contribute to a proper apprecia tion of his character, and services to tne State and country, among those who did not know him as we did. Therefore, thoughtfully sensible of my inability to do justice to the man and the occasion, I will accept your invitation, and do the best I can.

Happiness ia Happy Harnett. - Correspondence of the Observer. . ' : LuxrjJGTON, May 21, 1900. A sain we are pleased to shake hands with our old and valued friend and extend hearty greeting as to the general outlook politically, socially and financially. Times are certainly growing better and brighter; the Star of Hope is rising higher and growing more brilliant; the future ia deeidly more promising, while Nature ia all smiles, and fall to overflowing, joy ous acclaim. Thank God most sincerely tor suon an exhibition of Mia greatness and infinite goodness and mercy. ' . einee our lass we have covered manv miles, yea furlongs of North Carolina's sacred soi'r seen bright and. sad faces, witnessed the uprising and downfall of many enterprises, and at last landed safe and sonnd in this beautiful and pic to ret q ue town, among Borne of the many valued friends of my happy youth. The first with whom 1 struck hands was the still cental and debonaire Vol. John A. Spears, a gallant soldier, polished gentle man, erudite scholar and warm and true mend. We might say more, nothing lebs. To fay that we have during our short sojourn enjoyed his genial companion, ship, sparkling sallies ot wit, incisive criticism and jollv repartee, but tamely expresses k. fciulfice it to say, he is one of the few old time, courteous gentlemen left to remind us of the hightoned, ehivai rie gentlemen of the old South. The genial and big-hearted "Cucar" is also our friend, tone and tried. We are deeply Indebted to him for many happy evenings at his hospitable home, breath ing an atmosphere of music and literature The incidents connected, with bur pleasu rable association will be one of the bright est, greenest spots in our momory. The progressive farmer and energetic business man to whom Harnett county is deeply indebted for much of her suc cess and prestige, is still on the tapis, working unceasingly lor the good of his country and the upbuilding of vJod's King dom. Wonld to God Harnett eonnty eould boast of many John Greens; He is our friend, and amid the beautiful sur roundings of his delightful home we have spent many happy hours. This community is decidedly musical. and of necessity must be intelligent and hightoned. 00 we have found it; so we make the record, and it shall be lasting. To attempt a description of this beau tiful and hospitable little town would make our communication longer than we intended. So we'll reserve that for the future. Wa have met and been favorably im pressed with nearly all of the eonnty offi cers, especially are we attracted to Sheriff Salmon, than whom no man in the eounty is more energetic in the discharge ot his onerous duties. We propose soon again to visit "Poca hontas and quaff its sparkling waters, gaining new life physically and mentally. Till then adieu ! J. BSATSS DAK ITEMS. Beaver Dam. May 21. 1900. Mr T. A.
