eral Mendoza' s army had been aihni-
tilated Sept. S( near Tinaquiilo. The!
engagement of that date as sent from
here Sept. 12 was only that of an ad
vance guard of no importance. The
real battle began Sept. 11, and lasted
four days, after which General Carrido
retreated on Valencia, and eventually
entered that city, Sept. 15, with about
2,100 men, leaving the road free for
the further advance on Caracas of
the revolutionary army under Generals
Jfedoza, Riora and Battala.
The only other government army m
Cte field is the one which is under the
personal command of President Castro,
who, a few days ago was about 15
unites south of Caracas and was send

ance has been communicated to Cap

as being pleased that his challenge
had not , been ignored. He seems

that America has wasted any money

About the shipping combination
Lord Beresford said:
"I must confess that we are a lit

Cotton Exchanae Charges ftairroaag
With Discrimination.
Savannah, Ga., Sept 18. The Sa
vannah Cotton Exchange's members
are complaining of discrimination in
freight rates against Savanah. They
are circulating a petition asking tha
president and directors to take up tha
matter and see that the discrimina
tions are removed. They declare that
the unjust rates will operate againsi!
the port, and prevent cotton from be
ins routed via Savannah or handled
there.
It is shown that the freight rata
for transporting cotton from Savan
nah to Charlotte, N. C, is 39 cents
Der hundred pounds; to Lynchburg,
Va., 30 cents per hundred. The lat
ter point is 280 miles beyond Char
lotte, and must be reached through
there when shipped via the Southern
railway. Neither rate is influenced
by water-iTOute.
It is shown that the ocean rate
from Savannah to New York is dearer
than from any other Atlantic port and
higher to Savannah than to the in-
. i 4
terior buyer. For instance, tne ma-
con buyer may ship via Savannah and
the Ocean Steamship company to New
York by paying 15 cents per hundred
pounds more than to Savannah prop
er, while the Savannah buyer must pay
9.?. rtvnc npr hundred pounds even
thouffh he ships a lot of cotton orig
inating in Macon.

Saved From Suicide's Death.

of City Bhyeician Gibson, John Kiser
has been saved from a suicide's death.
Last evening he was found lying on
the step of the postoffice in an .uncon
scious condition.. An empty . lauda
num bottle in his pocket told the
tale. He was taken to the police
station and medical attention was giv
en him by Dr. Gibson. It tfas far
into the night before Kiser was got
out of danger. Kiser says financial
troubles was the cause that l$d him
to try and commit suicide.

During the past twelve months the Weekly Gazette has

that are of the greatest interest to its readers, with much
well selected miscellaneous mtter, reading for farmers, eta.
It aims chiefly at a rural ciiculation, and for the country
people of North Carolina there is no paper that gives equal
value for tne rate of its annual subscription.
