Watauga Democrat ' Thursday, Aug.4th 1898 . . 'Gen. Miles has made him self a conspicuous officer anil ;"man of some tnilitat.y sense : when he departed from the plans of the war board and landed bistroope on Porto Rico at Ponce, or near that place at fluanioa, a email place on the coast whpre the "Spaniardsdidnotexpecthim. Gen. Miles troops were not exposed to the heat for days crowded on the transports before the landing, like Shat ters men at Satiago. Miles had more sense than all the war board and it was fortu nate for the country and the troops that he exercised his own discretion rather than that of the war hoard. Miles hasgoined a great victory already without the loss of any troops either by bnttle or by exposure. If Miles is let alone he will soon have control of the island of Porto Bico. A general impression pre vails that the war is now nbout over as to real battles. Havana will no doubr capi tulate if the peace proposi tion carries. The Madrid Government seems to be in earnest to bring nbout peace and is wilting to give up Cu ba and Porto ttico, but will contend for the possession of the Philippines. Our govern ment is divided on this point pome o f the Cabinet and some of Senators are in favor of holding the Philip pines. The President is will ing to surrender the Islands with a condition that a coal ing station be retained; this ball we should want. The important Question is, wilU the President tuin oyer the Islands to Spain again? This wonld be cruel it seems to ns. Let the Philippines have a tree government as they have contended for so long. Give them independence, wo say, agarpst cruel Spain. State politics are becoming warmed op some what, F. M. Simmons the Demociotic chairman of the State com mittee, has asked for a state ment from J. M. Mewhorn, superinteudant of the penn- itentiary, a statement of the condition o the affairj which have boen going on at the "State Pen" under the' JJe poblicau and ropuliat com bination in which Mewbome, J. II. Smith, Claudius Doek- ery and others have figured. No report cau be had from the siiperintendant. Of course the object of Chairman Sim mons was to use the manage ment of the "Pen" foi politi cal purposes, as it will shed much light on the Republi can management of our "e pensive State institution J oe correspondence is very spicy and funny reading. We may publish Simmons letter next week. uermany s position in re gard' to the Philippines seems to have moderated considerably for the last two weeks. All her ships have been taken a war from Ma nila and no further trouble w expected. Thie threaten ing attitude of Germ Any was no doubt exagerated by press dispatches. Ger many all the time has claim ed her neutrality and it now loots like thatthe protection of the German citizens in Ma nila wasr all that was in Having purchased the county right to manufacture and sell the "Hawley wheat cleaner and graderMfromMr. Craig, the N. C. agent, we take pleasure In saying to our wheat raisers in Watauga that we can supply them by wheat, sowing time the clean er and grader, This cleaner takes all the rye, cheat, cockel and other foreign sub stance out of your seed wheat. This is a new patent and does its work satisfac tory. A'l that is necessary is for yod to see its perfect work. The cleaner will cost you $8 cash or 8 bushels of wheat delivered at T. J. Cof- fev & Bro. When you see the cleaner operate 'you will buy one. We should teel chagrined at the idea ot the people of Phillipines being left again at the mercy of the beastly Spaniards. -It seems from published reports that Mc kinley proposes in his peace proposition to let the islands go back to Spain. Why not let the people of the island form an independant govern ment of their own? Of course the U. S. does not want these islands, but they ought to allow them to control them selves hereafter. Aguinaldo the great leader of the insur gents there who has whipped out the Spaniards could con trol these islands as a free and independant govern ment The yetlow fever is playing havoc among our soldiers at Santiago and there isamove on foot to transport our troops from there to a more healthy location. The troops under General Shafter have suffered many hardships ow ing to the extreme roughness of the route getting to Span ish troops and then the se vere fight around Santiago wherein we lost 1950 odd men, killed and wounded. The terrible heat at Santi ago has cause our troops much suffering, and we hope tbey can soon be relieved from that place. Ii doort and Out. "My health was very poor and I suffered from dizzy spdlH, rheu matism and weuk nerves. 1 did uot can to live in Buch a condi tion. Hood's Sarsaparilla lias changed all this.

Easy to take, easy to operate. 25c. General Aguinaldo has pro claimed himself boss in the Philippines. He may yet learn that taking time by the forelock and taking a . . . . .... mule oy the ninu leg are widely different propositions -Ex. Does Baby Thrive? If your baby is delicate and sickly and its food doe not nourish it, put fifteer or twenty drops of Scott': Emulsion in its bottle three or four times a day and you will see a marked change. We have had abundant proof that they will thrive on this emulsion when othei food fails to nourish them. It is the 8amc with largei children that are delicate. Scott's Emulsion seems to be the element lacking in theii food. ' Do not fail to try it il your children do not thrive. it is as useiui ior tnem in summer as in winter. Ask your doctor if this is not rue. SCOTT BOWNE. ChtmifU, Ntw York 1. 8. A DIMS FOR 8HEBIFF. Editor Democrat. I saw in the columns of your paper tne name oi a. S. Adams, ol Cove Creek town ship, spoken of for the office of Sheriff for Watauga coun ty, all of which I heartily en dorse. Mr. Adams is well qualified to fill the office to the credit of himself aud his county. As to the other candidates for the county of fice, 'let me suggest the fol lowing names: For Legisla ture, Dr. J. B. Phillips; for Superior Court Clerk, L. G. Maxwell; for Treasurer, J. E Farthing; for Register o f Deeds, C.J. Cottrell, and for county commissioners, J. J. T. Reece; W. C. Coffey and W. L. Hendrix. These are all good men. Alex. Hagaman. Latest War News. ' The city of Ponce Porto . a Rico was captured by Gen. Miles without much fighting. The city of Ponce contains about 50,000 people who gladly welcomed the Ameri can troops under the Com mand of Gen. Davis, who ! t our troops into tna city. Sixty lightprs and twenty sailing vessels with one hun dred and twenty tons of conl were taken. The city o f Ponce surrendered at mid night on the 28th untimo. Vessels under Davis were Dixie, lnna polls, Wasp and Gloucester. All this capture was without loss of a man of the Americans. The Spanish retreated in great haste, leav ing army, ammunition and their wounded behind in their mad haste. Spain's desire of peace with the United States may soon cause a cessation of hostili ties. Negotiations have been discussed by the President and Cabinet and it is believed that an understanding will soon be reached by the two nations on all the substan tial points at issue, which in cludes independence; cession of Porto Ruo to the United States; coaling stations in Ladrone and Caroline Island. The PhilliDines seems to be the only trouble so far and may cause a blockade to the peace negociations. Whiter Boast. Charlotte Observer. White the negro Congress man from the First district, in his speech at the Republi can convention, in Raleigh said among other things : 1 am not the only negro who holds office. There ar? others. There are plenty more being made to order to hold offices. We are the most modest people in the world and dont hold as many offices as we will. I invite the issue. The white people of this State are told by this negro office holder that there will be more of them in office and invite the issue. We ' have fallen upon evil days sure e nojgh, when it comes to ban ters like this thrown out by a black man. In this connec tion, The Willmington Star declares that there are now more negroes in office in North Carolina than in any State in the Union and un less Democracy, triumphs in the next election there will be, as White declared in that speech, more of them,and a good many more. They havn't yet made a fair start. It remains for the white men of North Carolina to eay whether the negro's i rn puden t audacious threut is to be veri fied. - The Spanish transport ves sels mumble of carrying 15,- 000 troops will soon start to Spain with the Spanish pris oners. Notbetore the 6th of August will these prison pis leave Santiago then all that part of Cuba will be free from Spanish rule, but it is heavy on the purse strings of Uncle Sam. It is again reported that Manila has surrendered but no confirmation of the fact hns been received. We have now over 10,000 troops at Manila and can make a big fight in connection of Admir al Dewey with his big fleet. Does he live at your house?
