This Oct 24, 1809. v' ... ' 1 J. J. L. Church, Administrator, WASHINGTON LETTER. Fran aar Hogular Correspondent That Mr. McKinley has be (om somewhat alarmed by the harsh criticism of General Otin by the pre8H of the coun try, regardless ()f partj, i shown by the semiofficial an nouncement thnt Gens. Law ton and Mar;Arthur, who are said to bedated for tho va cancies in the regnhtr army, made by the retirement of Brigadier General Shaffer, and the death of Brigadier General Henry, who was bur ied today at Arlington jvith military honors, are to have practically independent com mands in the coming cam paigns in the uland of Lu zon. That is to say they n re to carry out the general plan of campaign as arranged by Gen. Otis, but are to be left independent as to the move ments of their respectivecom mnnds while in the field, and free tojdo as they may think best, without haying tn firt get the consent of General Otis. The administration is ben ding every effort toward coun teractingthe adverse senti ment against the Philippine policy, which it reralizes is in creasing. The Philippine Com mission which met in Wash ington to-day, has been or dered to hurry a preliminary report in favort in favor of the administration holicy so it can be put ?efore the pub lic at onre. Members of the Commission present are Ad miral Dewey, Col. Den by, Pro fessor Schurman and Profess or War?ester. Their meetings are held with closfd doors. Gen. Fitz Lee is in Wash ington on his way home from Cuba, on leave of ab sence. His position in the ar my keeps his mouth closed as to the conditions in Cuba, but he tells his friends pri vately that there is an awful mix up on the island, and his manner indicates that he could tell some interesting things if he were at liberty to cb so. John Sherman has been talking again, and what he said made it evident that the old man had neither lest in terest in Ohio politics nor the faculty of properly sizing up the politicalsituation in that state. Mr. Sherman predicts republican deteat, because of the opposition of the Ger man voters to the foreign policy of the administration, oi which he said: "It cannot be sustained in morals and is in contravention to the A merican declaration of inde pendence, and the teachings of the brave men who signed tint instrument, and of the republican opposition to a continuation of Hanna's lea dership. Mr. Sherman didn't say that he would be glad of republican defeat in Ohio, or that resentment of his own treatment by the Hanna-Mc-Kinley clique, was responsi ble for the attitude tf any 'of the republican voters, b u t there are some things that are fully understood without being sadd. At th( last meeting of the Wushiifgton branch : of the Anti-luiperlalst League, Gen. Wm. Birney, a life long re publican said: "Imperialism respects no law. To it t h e Congress is nothing, the com mander-in-chief of the army everything. It disregard scon 8titution and statutes and transfers all power to the ex ecutive. The writ of habeas corpus does not exist in the imperial colonies. ; The pris ons of Cuba, Porto Kico and the Philippinesare vocal with the cii's of men that cannot be heard heyund the walls. Imperialism known no limit, except the caprice of the Em peror. It has the sword, it will seize the purse. Nay, il has already defied the limita tion imposed by Congress; it has expendrd two hundred millions, where only e i g ty were appropriated. It has without authority of law, transported immense bodies of troops to the other side of the globe. It has built up an immense patronage in its con trol of military appoint ments. It has used this pat ronage for poltical purposes. Its influence is used to dis credit all the fundamental doctrines of American institu tions." Another repubican Capt. 0 Farrell -said: "We hear a goo deal about the trade with the Philippines. It takes from a thousand to fif teen hundred dollars a day to coal each transport on the Pacific ocean between San Francisco and Manila. This coal is imported from Cardiff Wales. The heef supplied to our troops and the potatoes and vegetables come from Australia. Many of the uni forms used by our officers and men in the Philippines, are now manufactured in Hong Kong, while the cost of our army and navy amounts to $65,000 a day. And the appropriation made by Con gress for twelve months has be?n expended or wasted in five months. What a pros pect for the American tax payers and workingman. Inquisitive persons are ask ing if Mr. .McKinley 's coach man is considered to be in the classified service? The rea son for tho question is that Mr. McKinley, having f o r some reason tired of his old coachman, had given him a place in the pension bureau add then hired a new one. Both men are negroes. Men who have passed the civil ser vice examination, with high percentages, are unable to get places, but Mr. McKin ley's coachman can get pla ces, but Mr. McKinley 's coachman can get on the pay roll without any trouble. The call of Boss Hanna's Committee for contributions Ironi ths employees of the government in Washington for use in Ohio, is panning out big. The failure of the ad ministration and. the civil ser vice commission to makeany effective move against the employes contributing frigh tened the clerks and they are putt ting up their money more freely than was ever done in a state campaign since there was a law against political assessment of government employees, believing that their positions depend upon their contributing. ; : Nathan llorton. 1 he subject of this sketch was born on New Itiver Ashe county (now Watauga) on the 22nd day of Oct., 1829, and died at Roone Oct. 25th, 1899, aged 70 years and 3 days. He was the son of Phin eas and Rebecca Horton and his parents and three broth ers have all been dead a uum-. bdr of years, For more than 30 years his life was. even and uneven t ful, characteristic of thedays before the war, but when the war broke out, he, with his two brothers, volunteered in the Confederate Army, first enlisting in the cavalry and being a soldier in the com mand of the famous cavalry leader, Gen. J. E. B. Stewart. Later he was transferred to the infantry and belonged to the 37th Regt. North Caroli na troops, and Gen. Lane's brigade, taking part in the battle of Chancellorsvilleanu other battles early in the war, With his command be followed Gen. Lee on his rtis astrous expedition into Penn pylvania and participated in the ten ible battle of Gottys burg on the 1st 2nd and 3rd da vs of July, 1803. On the laHt day of that awful couflict, his regiment was one that formed the line of battle that made the last grand effort to drive the Fed era! array from its almost im pregnable position. When the shuttered columns almost won, but were beaten back, he was left on the bloody field badly wounded. He car ried the musket ball received on that day to his grave and never fully recovered from the effects of the wound. He was taken prisoner by t h e Federals and confined in the United States prison at John sou's Island, Ohio, until near the close of the war, when be was exchanged and c a in e home, being the only one of the three brothers that sur vived the war. Since the war he was for many years county survey or and was well known in this and neighboring counties. He was married May 26, 1875, to Miss Juliet, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Gentry, and she ith three children survive him, He has lived in Boone for several years; was a member of the M.E. church South, and lived a devoted aDd consistant.christian life. What more can be said of Uncle Nathan, as he was known to everybody. An ear nest christian, a faithful sol dier, a good" and useful citi zen, a devoted husband and father. He lived out his three score and ten years, disease attacked him and he died easily and peacefully as one goes to sleep. Used by British Soldiers in Africa. Capt. C. G. Dennisonis well known all over Africa ascom mander of the forces that cap tured the famous rebel Gali she. Under date of Nov. 4th, '97, fiom Vrjbarg, Bechuan aland, he writes: "Before star ting on the last campaign I bought a quantity of Cham berlain's Colic, Cholern and Diarrhoea Remedy which I used myself when troubled with bowel complaint, and had it given to my men and in every case it proved most beneficial.'

For some time I have been thinking of writing my dear old home paper again, but until now have neglected to do 80. Since l ief c the Old North State I have traveled around and seen many things of in terest to one who never saw them. It is wonderful to me to behojd large steam boats moving on the water like a thing of life. We are now residingin that part of the State known as the Valley, but it is only "val ley" in name, with plenty of hills and mountains thrown in for good measure. But ta ken as a whole this is a -very grnnd country, picturesque and beautiful. You may stand and gaze in any direc tion and you will admire the grand old mountains loom ing up in the distance. You may ascend one of the many peaks and you will have as grand a landscape spread out before you as eye could wish for. You may turn in any direction and see beauti ful, smiling valleys, covered with luxurient grass, equal to the famous Kentucky blue grass, with hundreds of fine cattle dotted on their bos oms. The fertility of t he soil together with its energetic citizens, makes it a most de lightful abode for man. The people here in general are very wicked. I believe the young people of this commu nity, instead of becoming more highly cultured are be coming professional cursers. Their vocabularies consist of enough curse words to reach around the earth, and they use them at every opportuni ty. We have as warm weather here now as we had in N. C in August; have tuid but two frosts and one rain since we arrived here. This is a very healthful country, but with all its at tractions, it does not keep my mind from wandering back to Watauga, and I long to be there again, Love to all the readers of the Dem OCRAT. Ella Green, Geo. Noland, Rockland, Ohio, says: "My wife had piles forty years. Pe Witt's Witch Hazel Salve cured her. It is the best salve in America." It heals every thing and cures all fkin diseases, uoffey Bros. Phillips- & son. We fancy there will be u very interesting time when tho civil service commission ers call down Mark Hanna for his part in the campaign fund soliciting circular. Dr. W. Wilson, Italy Hill, N. Y., says: "I heartily recommend One Minute Cough Cure. It gave my wife immediate relief in suffo cating asthma." PJBusaut to take: never fails to qifltkly cure all coughs, colds, throat and lung, troubles. coffey bi os. Phillips & son. Whenever Tom. B. Reed has leisuie from his law prac the he gratifies his taste for funny literature by reading Senator Hanua's speeches on trusts. ; - ,- ' . ' v In Memory of Rachaef 0'wee.'V'Y''.1'!

She protester! rt-ligfon at the ng of 16 or 17 under the preaching of Re? : Jacob Greene, sr., and joined v the Baptist church at Cove Creek in 1883. She was the mother of 13 " children, seven of whom died in infancy, The six remaining . all have families now but one. Mrs. Greene died Sept. 21, 1899, after several raonthr of.illuess. Her death was sad to tier husband and children n large family connection and numerous friends, but her's was a triumphant death, as she left unmistakable evi dence of the reward that a waits! ll who die in faith of a glorious acceptance beyond this life. She was a mother and friend to nil who applied to her for help. Generous and kind in till the walks of life, and she died trusting in her Savior implicitly. Shesair her way without any mists or clouds of doubt, and left the evidence with her family and frfends of the triumph ant death of of a christinn.Sho was familiarly known as Aunt Betsy, and was considered by all as a model christian woman. She has passed from us to meet her Savior, and loved ones above. One Who Loved Her. It will not be a surprise to any who are at all familiar with the good qualities of Chamberlain's Cough Reme edy, to know that the people everywhere take pleasure in relating their experience in the use of that splendid med icine and in telling of the benefit they have received from it, of bad colds it has cured, of threatened attacks of pneumonia it has averted, and of the children it has sar ed from attacks of croup and whooping cough. It is a good grand medicine. For sale by dealers. President McKinley seems to think that flagflapping if sufficiently vigorous will cov tr all kinds of blunders. "I wouldn't be without De Witt's Witch Hazel Salve for any consideration,'' writes Thomas B. Rhodes, Centerfleld, Ohio. In fallible tor piles, cuts, burns and skin diseases. Beware of counter feits, coffey Bros. Phillips soa. The lynching of a nrgro in Kansas is anotherindicotion that sectional lines are grad ually being wipep out. Dr. H II. Haden, Summit, Ala. says: "I think Kodol Dyspspsia Cure is a splendid medicine. I pre scribed it, and my confidf nee in it grows with coutinued use." It digests what you eat and quick ly cures dyspepsia and indiges tion, coffey Bros. Phillips son. President McKinley 's proc- , lamation for thanksgiving reads like a bold plagariam from McKinley's rear-plat-, form speeches. You never know what form of blood poison will follow constipa tion.
