WADESBORO, X. C, JUNE 23, 1SS8. J AS. G. BOYLIN. Pnblisher. DANIEL rilV RUSSE1X. TIICU. Yesterday Daniel L. Russell. Gover nor of the great State of North Caro lina, invited Mr. W. H. Bagley, editor of the Raleigh Times-Visitor, into his office and then -grossly insulted the young nwn. The account of the amsr, printed in our Raleigh contemporaries of this morning, shows that Russell acted lha most outrageous- manner: He -"cursed Mr. Bagley and roared and ranted around in ft manner that would have done credit to the vilest thug that inhabits the slams of New York. All the time the Governor (God save the mark) was hurling his vile epithets at Mr. Bagley he bad his hand on a pis tol and it came out afterwards that he also had a loaded aou Die-Darren bnm gun in his office. The Raleigh News and Observer well says "impeaching is too. good for the blatherskite." TWO MONH'S WORK. THE ARMY LANDING. WHAT HAS BEEN PLISnED. ACCOM- ItiETTISU ASHORE POINTS.

Notwithstanding the well known fond ness of theDockery family for notoriety, as well as for office, it seems they are get ting more of it just now than even they relish.

"A round of praise is going the with erto about the Dockery office holding capacity; etc.. and it, like all other jeal ousies, emanates from folks close by home and sometimes from those; who tior htfm most kindlv treated.

"The two now in possession of office are newcomers in the office-seeking line. "Most, if not all ot us, want omce, anu if we happen to have as much sense as others and more than detractors, we will continue to get office. : v ' "It is only the way of the world." The disgusting conceit and self praise contained in the above is not worth no . ticing. All of us know that it takes very few brains, and less character, to hold office, as a Republican, in. some sections of this State, provided one is willing to put himself on a level with negroes and that is what every Republican office holder east of Charlotte does. The state ment "that only two Dockerys now hold office" is false, as is clearly proved by the following list of Dockerys, now being fed at the "pie" counter, contained in a re cent issue of the Raleigh News and Ob server: ' "One Dockery i3 member of the Legis lature, director of the Penitentiary, trus tee of the University; another is U. S. Marshal; another is cashier in the Reve nue office; another has a place in the Penitentary; another is a candidate for Congress; and one wants te be Solicitor of the Fourth district. They get office under the State, Federal and county government . with equal facility in the Sixth district. Thev will be wise not to try to import their office-seeking procliv ities to the Fourth district." Administration's Good .Record. One That Can Be Viewed With Satiaraetlou Heavy Re-En-fwreeraems to be-Sent te Geu. Shatter Without Delay. Washington, June 21. Two months ago to-day war broke out between the United States and Spain, according to the'Presi dent's proclamation and declaration of Con gress. The end of that period finds nearly 18,000 United States troops lying . off San tiago, preparing to-land; it finds cable com munication established between the govern ment at Washington and the advance guard of tne expedition iu Cuba, and it finds Cu ban territory in the possession of United States marines, backed by a. squadron and nearly all of the commercial ports of Cuba blockaded. This is all apart from Dewey's great victory at Manila and from the splen did results achieved in organizing several armies now in the camps. Therefore the officers of the administration feel that they have a right to look back with pride over what has been accomplished in the short space ot two months, working, in a large part,, with raw material in both the army and the navy. The government has now determined to send heavy re-enforcements lo Gen. Shat ter at Santiago. To this end the first ex pedition will leave Newport News Thurs day mqrning, carrying Brigadier General Duffield's separate origade of the Second, Army Corps, made up of the Ninth Massa chusetts, ' the Thirty-third and Thirty fourth Michigan, and the Third Virginia Regiments, in all about 4,000 men. Expedi tions will follow rapidly by way of Tampa. The next forces to go will include those of Brigadier General Garrettson, Of the Second Brigade of the First Division, Second Army Corps, embracing the Sixth Illinois, the Sixth Massachusetts and -the Eighth and Ninth Ohio Regiments. Bng dier General Guy V. Henry, a distinguished cavalry officer of the regular army, arrived here to-day, from Tampa, and the present nlans are for General Henry to command a division, made up ot the brigades of Gen eral Garrettson, this division comprising 8,000 men to be for for the speedy re-enforcement of General Shatter. 1 will swell the American forces at Santiago de Cuba to about 24,000 men. But the expeditions will not stop at that number, as there is a deter mined purpose to send forward a sufficient force to crush any Spanish command which can be concentrated at that point. The reports from Santiago that about 41,- 000 Spanish troops are in and about the city do not agree with the reliable estimates in the possession of the War Department According to the latter figures there are not to exceed 14,000 Spanish troops at San tiago de Cuba, while 100 miles away to the northwest, at Holguin, the Spanish corps commander, General Pando, has 10,000 men. The War Department is satisfied that the Cuban forces under Garcia can keep Pando from re-enforcing Santiago. Should this not be accomplished, the Spanish forces at Santiago would be augmented to about 25,- 000 men. FOR A COLONIAL POLICY. The Plan of Attach: Arranged. Santiago to be Assaulted on Sides and Rear Au Important Part In the Engagement As. signed to Ciareia and Rabbi. Washington, July 22. Official dis patches received to-night by both Sec- rectary Alger, and Secretary Long indi cate that the landim? , of troops near Santiago was progressing most favor ably. The first landing was effected at Daiquiri, t lis morning, and met with comparatively slight resistance. This ; was stated in a dispatch received this evening by Secretary Alger, which, al thougo brief, was full of news and meaning. It follows: "Playa del Este, June 22, 1898. Secretary of War, Washington, D. C: Off Daiquiri; Cuba, -June 22. Land ing at Daiquiri this morning success ful. Very little, if any resistance. (Signed) - SHAFTER," Secretary Alger expressed himself as delighted at the expedition with which the landing of the troops was being ef fected, ana wiin me tact tnat no serious obstacle was being offered by the enemy. He construed the text of General Shaf fer's message to mean that the enemy had made merely a nominal resitance by firing from the hills at long range. Shortly after Secretary Alger received his dispatch, Secretary Long received a more extended cablegram trom Aamirai Sampson. . It, too, was dated at Playa del Este, at 6:5o this evening. The text of the dispatch translated from the Navy Department cipher is as toiiows: "Landing ot the army is progressing favorably at Daiquiiu There is very little, if any resistance. The New Or leans, Detroit. Castine, Wasp and Suwanee shelled the vicinity before the landing. We made a demonstration at Cabanas to engage the attention of the enemy. The Texas engaged the west battery for some hours, bne naa one man killed. Ten submarine mines have been removed from the channel of Guantanamo. Communication by tele graph has been established at Guantan amo. (Signed) "Sampson.' In both army and navy circles, the in formation contained in the dispatches of General Shatter and Admiral Sampson was received with intense satisfaction. The landing of so large a body of troops as General Shatter at present has under his command, is a task ot immense pro portions. A prominent official ot tne War Department sam to-mgnt mai me complete debarkation of the troops, ani ma s. held guns ana supplies wimin a week after their arrival off the Cuban coast would be a task well accomplished. It is probable, in the opinion of the officer referred to, that only a partial lanain of the troops was effected to day, ao that the landing will be continued from day to day until completed, it is not unlikely.too, that the troops will be landed at several places along the coast, of course within a short distance 01 tne headquarters which General Shatter will establish lor himsen. ARRIVAL OE THE PORTS. TRANS- ATTEMPT TO KILL BLANCO. VOCKERY'STICKET IN 1884. At the election in Richmond county "in 1884, Oliver H. Dockery,-the present Republican candidate for Congress, voted as follows: To represent the county in the Legisla ture he voted for Harvey Quick, a negro lawyer, against- John W. Sneed, one of the best white farmers of Richmond county. This is the same Quick who so 'eloquently lionized the negro rapist, John Evans, in negro papers, and de nounced the jury ;and good people of ' Richmond county for his conviction." For coroner, he voted for Felix Jacobs, a negro man, against Daniel Gay, a one legged Confederate soldier. For Register of Deeds, he voted for one N. VV. Harlee, a negro man, against Alexander JL. McDonald, a white man competent to fill the office and unusually esteemed in the county for his courteous bearing. This is Dockey's record in 1884. His friends may say that that is too far back to talk about. In reply to this just ask them if it is anywhere recorded that he has repented of these votes? The truth is, instead of repenting of them he actu ally has the cheek to boast of having voted for a negro in preference to a one legged Confederate soldier. The Republic, which was recently es tablished at Rockingham as the persona organ of the Dockery family, is perform ing its task wen. it slops over every week in the most disgusting and fulsome praise of the head of the family, the great office seeker, Oliver H.- As a sample of the rot th paper is dishing out to its readers we give au extract or two, taken from its issue of last week, as follows: 1 "And U13 canvass he (the aforesaid Ol i ver) will make will be one of the grandest ever prosecuted in this district or State. It will be the rounding up, perhaps, of one of the grandest characters and lives the State has ever produced." "Ihe rounding up of one of the grand est characters and lives the State has ever produced" is good , but, of course, every lhing depends upon one's point of view. - If ie Republic thinks that voting for a big buck negro in preference to a one legged Confederate veteran is an act that goes to make a "grand character" it is perfectly welcome to its view. It's only a matier of taste, you know. Here is another: "He (Oliver again) is among the few who rarely, in public life, attain states manship, and the value of his services at this time cannot be stated." It is indeed true that 'the value of this man's services to the elements of disor in our State, and especially in this sec tion, cannot be stated. Of all the arch enemja of the white race in North Caro ina this man Dockery has been the most persistent and the most yenimous. They Sailed up at Noon Monday Smoke First Seen by the Look out on the Brooklyn, and With in Ilalf Mil Hour n Forest or Slasts Had Sprung Lrp, ; Appar ently from the Sea. - Associated Press Dispatch, June 20th. The United States army for the invasion of Cuba, 16,000 strong, commanded by Gen eral Shatter, arrived off Santiago de Cuba at noon, to day. The timeof its disembark ation has not yet been determined upon, but it will probably be within the next three days When the fleet of 37 transports, with its freight of fighting men, swept up the southern coast to-day, and slowed up with in sight of the doomed city of Santiago de Cuba.the anxiously awaited soldiers were greeted with ringing cheers which faintly reached the transports from the warships, and they were answered by the troops most heartily and in kind. The weeks of anx ious waiting on one side, and of impatient chafing on the other, were over, and the army had at last joined forces and all fel that the hnai blow at Santiago was at hand. It was 10 o'clock this morning when the lookout on board the armored cruiser Brook lyn, reported seeing the smoke of several steamers away to the southeast, and a min ute or so later could be seen the transports coming into sight. Then signals were ex changed from sip to ship, gladdening the ' hearts of the weary blockaders. Then the United States anxiliary cruiser Gloucester, formerly J. Pierpont Morgan's yacht Cor sair, sped away to meet and welcome the troops. In about half an hour later a grim forest of masts had sprung up apparently from the sea and a most impressive scene was pre- seniea as ine armaaa swept gracefully up from the horizon, towards the shores where the great struggle is to take place. NO 1L VU OF TRUCK A Voluuteer Makes A Feiut- At Saluting and Suddenly Shoots Iliiu on the Steps or His Pal ace. i Washington, June 20 News has just been received in Washington of the at tempted assassination in Havana of Capt. Gen. Blanco by Mariano Salva, and of condition of affairs in the Cuban capital almost bordering on revolution. Salva is a member of the Havana volunteers. The volunteers parade the streets, unof ficered, crying, "Viva Weyler, Down with Blanco!" The people, especially the au tonomists, are leaving the city as rapidly as possible. Gen. Blanco, wounded as he is. holds daily conferences with the com manders of the volunteers, who are appar ently powerless to bring about a more peaceful state of affairs. The attempted killing of the Spanish general took place as he was leaving the palace to accompany some of the officers of his staff to inspect the earthworks on the outskirts of the city. Salva sent a rifle bul let into Gen. Blanco's left hip. The would-be assassin is a member of the volunteer guard on duty around the palace. His young brother was also volunteer, and was recently arrested on a charge of conspiring with the enemies of Spain against the established government This brother was thrown into prison, and recently was tried before a court-martial and condemned to death. Mariano made every effort to save him, and a number of appeals were made to Geh. Blanco for clemency, but without avail. When the findings of the Spanish court-martial were '. laid before the cap tain-general be unhesitatingly approved them, ahd the young volunteer was exe cuted. It is supposed that this led to the attempted assassination. A REAL FLUNG SQUADRON. Blaaeo Takes an Extraordinary Step iu Warfare. Key West, June 20, 11: 30 a. m. It is learned from naval ..officers here that LCaptain General Blanco has notified the American blockading fleet that he will hereafter recognize no flag of truce, adding that every vessel within six miles range will be fired upon whether flying the btars and Stripes or a white flag. it seems that events which ltd u: to Commodore Schley, It Is Said, Will Be Giren Swift Vessels To Cross The Ocean To Spaiu New York, June 19. A Washington dispatch to the Herald says: Destruc tion is likely to be the fate of . Admiral Camara's squadron, whether its destina tion be the Philippines or the West Indies. This is the confident belief of the officials. It is based upon complete and satisfactory accounts of the defective Republicans Will Adopt a Pro era mine Of Territorial Expan sion Party has Drifted Into It. Washington special to Baltimore Sun, 17th inst. . Washington, June 17. It is not ques tioned in interior political circles that all the probabilities point to the formal adoption by the Republican party of the policy of colonial possessions. It is 'not believed that any considerable or any in fluential-portion of the party-had this idea in contemplation even at so recent a period as three months ago. - A Republican Senator, one of the most ardent advocates Of territorial acquisition, says during all the debates on Cuban af fairs he never dreamed of such a thing and that he does not know of any one who did, but that the party has drifted into it, that it is the logic of the situation, and the party would be guilty of incred ible folly not to grasp an opportunity for brilliant achievements outshining all of its past record. Expressions of a simila. character are heard on the floor of both houses almost constantly, and it is not an uncommon thing to note here and there democratic assent. A democratic ex-Senator of ripe expe rience, and who keeps in the most active touch with national politics, said today it was asinine for the House democrats to caucus on the annexation question, and it would be most unwise for them to cau cus on any question of territorial expan sion. He said it would be an impossible effort to undertake to consider these ques tions on existing party lines. The peo ple would be carried away by the glamor and old party ties would be forgotten. THE ISSUE IN 1900. The ex -Senator is on most familiar per sonal and social terms with many of the most prominent leaders, and is thorough ly conversant with their views and plans He said the Republicans had made up their minds to fight the next Presiden tial campaign on new issues. They con sidered the tariff settled for the present. As for silyer, the Republicans would waste no more time on it. They would make their fight on increasing the glory the grandeur and the greatness of the country! In conclusion, he said if the war lasted only one year it would give the Republicans every chance. The whispers .which float through ad ministration circles "tend to confirm all these prognostications. The President although nominally he might just now deprecate such a statement, is understood to be a firm believer in territorial expan sion, and enthusiastic as to the prospects open to his party. If the country swept off its feet with the cry ot holding on to the conquests which its victorious arms may pour into its lap, what more natural than the man under whose direc tion and control the work was accom plished shall have the crown of the Pres idency for another term. THE ARGUMENTS FOB EXPANSION. The arguments in favor of territoria expansion and colonial possessions, when presented with the skill of reason and the tongue of eloquence, can, as intimat ed by the Senator above mentioned, be invested with a glamor, readily . exciting and inflaming popular passions.- It will be contended that through these yasi de pendencies the entire war debt may be liquidated. The advantages to civiliza tion and Christianity will be pictured in the most gilded of rhetoric. The open ing for putting the great army of the unemployed, the certainty of meat and drink for all, pastures green and fresh, for a surplus population ten times that of our own. will be held up until language is al most exhausted. Capital seeking for safe and profitable investment, .cupidity anx ious to amass and accumulate, ambition determined to soar, politicians looking for preferment, age crying for ease and re tirement, 'youth emulous of fame, hon or and prosperity, in fact, all of the mul titudinous host hoping and striving for a better condition will have poured into their ears in siren tones the alluring pros pects. FAIR AND TEEMING LANDS. The fair and teeming lands, abounding in all the necessaries and luxuries of life, flowers and fruits springing up spontane ously, precious metals waiting for the pick, glorious sunshine, air balmy as the zephyrs from Heaveu all this will be told of, and it will only be a part of the story. The, development of the nation's pow er and influence, the marvelous growth of its resources, its commanding partic ipation in-the affairs of the world, its flag floating on every sea and the fulfill ment of a destiny making it more poten tial and illustrious than any common wealth of ancient or modem times will be the theme breathed through the press and thundered from the hustings. As a matter of fact, we have not as yet captured any of the Spanish possessions. But we will, of course, and when we do the intention is to hold ou to them.

A special dispatch from Washington says that the Presideut has decided to postpone the attack on Havana until autumn, but will seize a base for supplies on the north em coast of Cuba, form a juuctiou with General Gomez and ftupply food to starving Cubans. TEftniTOnUL ACQUISITION. A special dispatch from Madrid says that tha young King's mother is anxious to ab dicate as recent in favor of his aunt, the Infanta Isabella, who is thoroughly Span ish and very popular. The Qeen Regent believed that thin step would' strenzthen her son's position. Sagasta and the Cabi net prevailed on her to postpone the execu tion of her plan. Telegrams from Madrid direct and from Havana to London assert that the Cuban insurgents are bitterly divided upon the question of co-operating witb the Ameri cans and that many of the. leaders "fear an nexation and American tyranny" and have joined the Spaniards. The junta iu New York denies these stoma. Cuban scouts report that the people of Caimauera have put straw and oil in the streets, and have resolved to burn the city rather than surrender to the Ameri cans. Lieutenant Hobson and the other heroes of the Merrimac have, been removed from Uorro Castle aud Admiral Sampson has decided to attack the stronghold without delay. The dynamite cruiser Vesuvius may e used in the work. juan sautos, a uuoan pilot, who has re turned from Santiago, says there are 10,000 Spanish troops in that city. j Hundreds of vultures have been circling over the Santiago forts since the last bom bardment. This is taken to mean that there was great loss of life. The flag on Morro Castle was half-masted for a time, but the meaning of this was not known by the Americans. A special cablegram to The Sun from Manila states that the Philippine insurgents do not expect to capture that city until American troops arrive. They have already attacked the city. It is reported that the insurgents have captured Governor-General Augusti's family. A special cable message from Berlin says that the German foreign office has expressly repeated the assurances already given to the United States government that Germany has no object in the Philippines except the protection of the lives and property of Ger mans, Swiss and Portuguese', and has abso lutely no idea of intervention. .11 Ml "V . , . ... ery jjieuiiy jjuuk uas supplied names lor SAMy-nve warsnips ror wnicn provision tie 1st pane in the last naval appropriation m i'he battleships were christened Maine, ri and Ohio.

It is believed at the Navy Department that Santiago will fall within a few days. Plans for co-operation between our land fores and the Cubans were made by Ad miral Sampson and General Garcia before the arrival of General Shaffer's expedition. and the only delay will be iu landing and organizing the troops. The War Department is preparing an ar my of more jhan 20,000 men for the invasion of Porto Rico. Ex-President Cleveland in an address at the graduating exercises of Lawrenceyille School, near Princeton, N. J., said that the threatened adoption of an imperial policy of expansion, conquest and foreign war was a great danger to the safety and principles of true American citizenship, as he under stood them and a complete departure from the mission of this country. Commander Wats on has telegraphed to Washington .. that General Blanco refuses to exchange Lieutenant Hobson and his companions of the Merrimac. Mr. F. W. Sansden, British consul at Santiago, who has been negotiating for the exchange as the representative t the United States, suggests that a ransom might be paid to secure the release of the prisoners. ' I'oIley-ofTbe Administration in Itecard to American Interests In The Philippine Islands. Washington, June 19. There is author ity for the statement that the President is taking steps to declare the Interests f the United States paramount in the Philippine Islands in order that no complications with other nations may arise as t he result of the war. It is understood to be part of the new policy of the administration to have the seizure of the islands made by the military authorities, so that possession may be in consequence of ..military operations, ana notduetoanv announced policy of ac I quisition upon the part of the government here. The plan of seizing, as war measures, all the Spanish possessions that can be . taken is the forerunner, it is understood, of a com plete change in the attitude of the United Stales regarding colonial possessions. The Question of keeoinir permanently what has been won by force of arms will be deter mined hereafter. Leading republicans of both houses declare that the decision will be in favor of holding on to all the territory that comes Into our possession. A few of the more outspoken republicans, like Sena tors Chandler and Elkins, declare outright that a policy of acquisition has already been inaugurated., A prominent democratic Senator, speak- ine of the republican policy, said: "It is the same tendency toward centralization of power which has ever characterized them that is behind them now. It is the idea that the government at Washington ean and should control citizens, whether in the States of the Union or in the proposed colonies, without their consent A colonial policy will be a creat stride in the direction of centralized government, and just to that extent will be a blow at our republican in stitutions." fir: r?f"r: n A FT fM n f i ' i T" ' t "iv ' doesn't look so big as the face of it- C " y t'-3i y the woman who buys soap for bouse- 5" ?

John R. Smith's resignation as Super intendent of the Penitentiary was pur' chased by an election as Commissioner of Agriculture, after the Governor had denounced him in unmeasured terms . Now comes the latest resignation scan dal. In order to escape impeachment lor drunkenness, Judge Norwood agreed to put his resignation in the hands of Col. Lusk, to be presented upon certain con ditions, it seems that some weeks ago Col. Lusk saw Judge Norwood on the train and detected old apple brandy on his breath. Since Col. Lusk ran on the prohibition ticket they say he can smell a drink across two counties and frown down upon the guilty person who has imbibed. The colonel fished up the old resignation, and sent it to the Governor without conference with Judge Norwood As soon as the papers printed the news. Judge Norwood deaied that he had re signed and complained that Col. Lusk had presented the resignation without authority. He repudiated, publicly and officially, the right of Col. Lusk to make him resign without consultation, and also denied the right of the Governor to name his successor. It is understood that he will resist his summary dismissal from office, and will claim the right to hold court until he resigns in earnest. The letter presented was extorted under du ress. It is a very interesting legal question whether Norwood is still Judge or wheth er Carter is Judge. As to the fight le- tween these Republicans the public have little more interest than they haye in the oraiuary wrangle oi this party ot rows and scandals. There is an aspect, how ever, in which it becomes of deep interest to litigants and tax-payers. Until the matter is settled by the Supreme court. it would be better for neither of the clai mants to hold a term, for no litigant who loses his suit will fail to appeal upon the ground tnat tne court is not a legal one. Upon the sarre ground men convicted of crime will contrive to escape punishment, and the proceeding of the court will be nullified. , - K vv abk ivui rais with Pain-Killer.
