Friday AIorxutg, Novbmbeb 24. A CRUEL WAR. Xo soldiers were ever unnneces earily subjected to more trying or deals than oar soldiers in the Philip pines have been. There are times, of course, in all wars when the sol diers are sorely tried, and when they may hare to endnre many hardships, to make hard marches, subject to bad weather and bad roads, and be compelled to subsist on rough and scanty fare, but this is the excep tion, while in the Philippines hard ship for the army has been the rale in every campaign. If anything sub stantial had been gained by this there would be some excuse for it, but the campaigns thus far seem to have been aimless, and all these try ing and painful ordeals to which our men haTe been subjected for nothing except to get the names of Otis and commanding officers into the bulletins. As far as it has gone it is the officers who haTe achieved the fame and the rewards, while the men haTe been doing the work and getting nothing but hard knocks and an occasional Filipino bullet. They do, it is true, when the politicians speak pf them get some soft soder as "heroes" fight ing and making sacrifices for their country, and when the regiments come home there is some "wel comes," tooting of bands, 4c, and perhaps a free lunch or something of that kind, but that is about the extent of their recognition or re ward. Later on they may get on the pension roll. The priTate soldier in the regular army is regarded as little better than a cur dog and not much better in the volunteer army in the Philip pines. As a partial illustration of this we quote the following from a communication of a soldier pub lished in the AsheTille Citizen a few days ago: "A discouragement to the volunteer army was the great honor and aD piauou titcu mo uuioers wnen it was justly cue the men who accomplished discharged and returned home," and extolled their heroism and skill (in hooting religion and civilization and their attendant happiness (?) into an innocent, wronged people, in the in terest of a few of the money class.) Gen, Otiij through his adjutant, Barry, rehashed in a circular the statements of Mr. McKinley, which he knew, and which the President should have known, were erroneous. Perhaps the comments of the whole of the re maining volunteers would hare made more interesting than agreeable read ing. "Otis once complained that his mails were crowded with abusive letters and clippings, for which his monumen tal gall and imposition were no doubt largely responsible as well as the hold ing of the troops there and returning thousand-dollars a-day transports to the United States empty, even after the slothful Washington administra tion was urging the return of volun teers Troops were held as long as pos sible on the most flimsy excuses, no doubt to secure from among them every re-enlistment possible for the army. To this end Otis worked inces santly, no doubt, seeing- that a long list would be taken as an evidence that his management of them was satisfac tory. "No soldier discharged in Manila could procure a business license of any kind while a Chinaman or a "Dago1' could get usually anything he desired in that line. Men who had secured license prior to the re-enlistment orders were compelled to close places of business in several instances. Upon the general's recommendation men who had been discharged for any rea son could re-enlist and draw from the government travel allowances, pro- J J ' 1 J 1 viaea ior oy law, wmcu naa oeen re fused them on their discharge. These travel allowances are made to enable dis charged men to reach their homes and the law does not, as I understand it. intend that it shall be paid as a bonus or reward to any to join the army. It is meant for those who have rendered service not those who may do so in future; and yet this provision is being manipulated for that very purpose, making the great difference in money payment to the men who returned to their homes and those who joined the army in favor of the latter.- "Regiments of about 200 men were formed of the few re-enlisted men and filled up to 1,200 or 1 300 by regulars enlisted in the United States and were called 'volunteer regiments.' " This shows bad treatment of the private soldier from the day he goes aboard the transport to the day he is shot down or laid up by disease, or worked to death by marching in mud knee deep, in drenching rain, to accomplish some thing that wouldn't be worth ac complishing even under ordinarily fair and easy conditions. The his tory of the campaigns in Luzon are nil of this, the latest illustration of which is the following, clipped from the press dispatches published yes terday, in reference to General Law- ton's pursuit of the "insurgent "government: following, which we clip from the Philadelphia Record: ' "The briefest possible surrey of the industrial world will show how silly and mischievous is this worship of the tariff idoL During 1898 the volume cf British commerce exceeded that of any other year. The exports, in round figures, amounted in value to $1,169, 000,000, and the colossal imports to $2,853,000,000, or nearly double the value of the exports. This enormous surplus of imports, which is called an "unfavorable balance of trade Dy tne tariff mongers on this side of the water,- includes in the spoils of commerce the imiuense sums earned by the British merchant marine in carrying ocean freights around the world under the benign policy of free trade in ships and commodities. But, according to the . logic of our tariff mongers, this gigantio development of British trade in 1898 can be due only to the miraculous power of the Ding ley act, with what an esteemed pro tectionist contemporary styles 'an un paralleled altitude of schedule' of duties on sugar, woolen fabrics, earthen and glass ware, tinpJate, glu cose and other imports. "Germany and France are alto largely partcipating in the world's industrial and commercial movement. The iron and steel and textile manu factures of those countries nave re ceived a new impulse, and their ex ports are increasing. German mer chants are gaining commerce in Cen tral and South America, in Far Asia and other regions of the earth. Bel gium, with the development of trade on the Kongo, and also Russia and Italy are sharing in the industrial and com mercial concert. Even poor Spain has not remained a stronger to the move ment of which the whole Industrial world is the theatre. The agriculture of Spain is not only reviving, but in many Spanish cities new industries have been created. So active is the movement that in some provinces there has been much difficulty in se curing sufficient manufacturing la- SPIRITS TURPENTINE. TWINKLINGS. TH C TROTTING RECORD.

The so cial distinctions made alone lines of rang: were simply ridiculous, and a statement to that effect by Wm. J. Bryan brought down the wrath of all the army officials upon his head. The treatment or the common soldier at the hands of commissioned officers is, as a rule, that of a master to an abject slave. This was not the case among me volunteer troops in the Cuban. caujpajgn ss u is in the Philippines. 'Another serious matter which the Red Cross people are trying to remedy is the treatment given the troops aboard transport ships. Men are pack ed in the hold of a ship like sardines, with usually no ventilation except the small hatchways. Staterooms are oc !v?oerBV r left vacant, """" "w room auowed the sol "Officers and soldiers arriving at Cabanatum from General Lawton's force describe the campaign as one of great hardship. Many men dropped sick and were left at various towns without adequate supplies and attend ance, some of them making their way back across the terrible roads. A num ber of horses were dying, and many of the soldiers and even some of the offi cers, were marching on half naked, their clothes having been torn to pieces in getting through the jungles. Some of them were reduced almost to breech clouts and hundreds were barefooted, their shoes being worn out, and all were living on any sort of provisions. Bread was rare and carabao meat and bananas were the staples. General Lawton foresaw that the campaign woulk involve such hardship, but he considered it the quickest and com pletest way of ending the war." Gen. Lawton is doubtless ambi tious to capture that government, after having captured several barrels of Mrs. Agninaldolfl clothes, for that would be a big feather in his hat. Possibly he may have that govern ment and Aguinaldo near the jump- ing-off place, but where was the need of putting a little army to such a cruel ordeal as this when by moving a little slower and in larger bodies they could have driven that govern ment to cover and captured it with out marching our soldiers to death ? If the government that Lawton is pursuing ha3 as little support as it is represented to haTe and is in such desperate straits as represented, it is but a little time when it could be taken and onr soldiers be spared from such cruel ordeals as Lawton's men haTe been subjected to, as described in the aboTe dispatch. In our army a private Boldier isn't quite as valuable in the estimation of the war managers as a mule. A FISH 8T0SY FROM SULTJ. Trouble is brewing in Sulu and it is all about fish. Dato Jakanine sent Borne of his fellows out fishing when some of the Sultan's fellows came along and concluded that they would like to have some of the nice fish which Dato's fellows had caught, and the result was a racket in which nine of Jakanine's fellows were done for. This naturally riled Dato, who didn't want to lose either his fish or his fellows; hence he is very wroth and has sworn vengeance against the Sultan. As the Moros are said to be very morose fellows, the Snl tan may look out for squalls in his immediate vicinity. The result of this will probably be that the United States army may have to look after our polygamous ward, the Sultan, and protect him from the threatened attack of the irate Dato, unless Dato can be pla cated, and Borne guarantee given that his fishing privileges will not be in terfered with. If this fish ball should open down there and the few United States soldiers who may be there or be sent there, should show a leaning to one side or the other, then the other side might get up a rucus with our fellows and we might have a racket on our hands down there with a lot of fellows who, according to Prof. Schurman, don't mind being killed a bit, but on the contrary rather enjoy it as it furnishes a short route to' paradise; and then they also en joy killing Christians? We don't suppose they are as well equipped for the killing business as the Fili pinos are, but they are a 4ong way off, and if any considerable number of them should become involved in the racket it might add very mater ially to the difficulties of the situa tion in the Philippines. - Raleigh.

Moore lives on the Foreman place, in Falkland township. On the place was a tenant house which he used for storing cotton and other crops) Mon day night this house was destroyed by fire. At that time there were eight bales of seed cotton and a hundred bushels of pease in the building, all of which, except about two bales of the cotton, was totally destroyed. Mr. Moore bad no insurance at and the loss is a severe one to him. The fire is be lieved to have been of incendiary origin. Laurinburg Exchange. A Mr. Mathews , of S. O., rented 450 acres of land Saturday from Mr. J. F. McNair. the place known as the old Russ place, between here and Maxton, and will plant the entire lot in water melons. Mr. Mathews says it is his in tention to cultivate 700 acres and thinks he can secure the other 250 acres. He informed us that he would have a siding put in at bis melon farm that will hold about 15 cars, and will ship the principal portion thereof to North ern markets. Mr. Matthews has been in the business 17 years and is well up on melon culture. Rockingham Anglo-Saxon: There wad a fight in Black Jack town ship last Friday between Tom Town send and Henry BeBerry in which the former came very near losing his life, and his final recovery is still in doubt. The weapon used was a rock, with which DeBerry fractured Townsend's skull. His recovery was at 'first thought to be impossible, but he ap pears to be getting along very well according to the last report we hear. He has before demonstrated that, a whole skull is not necessary to his ex istencd, for it has been broken before and with a Rock too. We did not learn the particulars of this difficulty, except that the row started about the tjck of one getting in the others field. DeBerry was arrested and placed in jail here. Chatham Record: We are pleased to learn that work has been resumed at the Ore Hill iron mine, and the prospects now is very encour azing. It was said that work was temporarly suspended, not because the ore was exhausted but in o der to make a change in the mea who were i i charge there. There has been almost an epidemic of typhoid fever in a certain neighborhood in Baldwin township, an several persons have been its victims. Two died last week. One was a colored woman and the other was Mr. L. D. Hobby, who was one of the prominent citizens of that section and had been a faithful Con federate soldier during the war. The fever was brought to that nighbor hood from Chapel Hill, several weeks ago, and. in some families nearly every member has had it. Several persons are still sick with it, but it is hoped that the worst is over. Young Mother "I can't i ma cine what makes the babv crv so."

Every one with a thimbleful of brains, who gives any thought to such matters, knows that there is not a particle of foundation for any such claims, but that the revival began with the large shipments of food stuffs to Europe, where there was an extraordinary. demand for them on account of the short crops the past couple of years, a condition- which may continue in a measure, at least, as there are this year crop failures in Bussia and in India. Add to this the large increase in the volume of our manufactured products, which is not the result of the tariff but of cheaper processes of manufacture and of greater efforts to find markets abroad and we can very well understand the revival of business and the increase of prosperity.

"Yes, that's right If I hadn't lost that first finger when I was a boy, I wouldn't be here now. Jim Dixon and me were trading with the Indians. Wo exchanged beads, fake Jewelry and bright calico for furs. All the buffalo were not gone then,' and we did a good business. One time w happened to strike a wandering band of savages that held us up on sight and it was plain from the way the red devils danced around us that we wereto be put to death after the Indian fashion. All at once I recalled that a good many of the Indians knew me as the four fingered' trader who was always on the level with those wild merchants, so I held up the hand and kept It up till one of the young bucks let out a sig nificant grunt and then hurried to the chief in command. He came to me In a dignified manner, examined the hand, grunted about 16 times while deliber ating, said 'How,' and released me as well as my partner. We were treated right up to the handle ana permitted to depart when we wanted to.

The feeling in local cotton circles to day was decidedly bullish. The opening was steady with prices three points higher. After a few moments hesi tation the market developed unex pected strength on firm cables from Liverpool and indications that receipts at all ports were falling off. Buying was general throughout the day but shorts were easily the leading purchas ers. Wall street, the South and Liver pool gave attention almost entirely to securing the January, March and May positions. The . market derived con siderable strength in the after noon from .rumors to the effect that exporters and American spin ners were buying spot cotton very freely throughout the South, leading to very firm markets and higher ask ing rates. Official estimates for to morrow's receipts at the ports showed a' falling off from Jast year.' There were numerous reports concerning the shortness gof the crop, with the aver age pointing to a yield of 9,000,000 to 9.250,000 bales: The local market was finally very steady in tone, with prices net two points higher upon Sep tember and October and eight to ten up on other points.
