tOSEHGER - 1HTEELU BBCER. WADESBORO, N. C- DEC. 7. 18W J AS. G. BOYLIN, PuWiaher. A GREAT ARTtLLKKY Dl'EL lUlGHT. TUB PRESIDENTS JlfcSSAGE. President McKinley's third annual mes ie to Congress, read in that body Tues day, is a document of soch great length that it ia impossible to give more than a summary oi it in this issue of the M & I. Its main points are summarized by &d exchange as follows: The president begins by stating that on the thieshold of the deliberations of con gress the members are called upon to mourn with their countrymen the death of Vice President Hobart, paying tribute to the worth of the dead statesman. WE MUST SUPPORT THE GOI.D STANDARD. The President next declared unqual ifiedly for the gold standard. On this momentous question, be says: - "I urgently recommend that to support the existing gold standard and to main tain 'the parity value of the coins of the two metals (gold and . silver), and the equal power of every dollar at all times in the market and in the payment of debts the secretary of the treasury be given ad ditional power and charged with the duty to sell United State bonds and to employ such other effective means as may be nec essary to these ends. HB URGES OPPOSITION TO THE TRUSTS. Perhaps there is no greater surprise in the message than the president's reference to the trusts. On this this subject he : says:.'-; "Combinations of capital organized in to trusts to control the condititions ot trade among the citizens, to stifle compe tition, limit production and determine the prices of products used and consumed by the people, are justly provoking pub'ic discussion and should early claim the at tention of congress." - "NO ENTANGLING ALLIANCES" FOR US. The president reaffirms the time-honored doctrine that this country shall remain free from entangling foreign alliances, lie says: - "This government has maintained an attitude of neutrality in the unfortunate contest between Great Britain and the Boer states of Africa. We have remained faithful to the precept of avoiding entang ling alliances as to affairs not of our direct concern. Had circumstances suggested that the parties to the quarrel would have welcomed any kindly expression of the hope of the American people that war might be averted, good offices would have been tendered." TALKS OF THE DESTINY OF CUBA. Coming to the acquisition of Porto Rico and discussing the Cuban question, the president dwells on the destiny of both countries, recommending the establish ment of a ciyil government for Porto Rico as rapidly as possible andtheraising Ot the customs duties einorts of that Island! HeGeclares that the island of Ci'ba, which is temporarily under the pro tection of the United States, must be turn ed over to the people of the island as soon as a stable government can be form ed, reaffirming the purpose of the govern ment declared prior to the Spanish war that the people of Cuba would be given their freedom and the yoke of Spanish rule swept away. THE PHILIPPINES ARE OURS. The Preside ut relegated the Philippines question away to the rear of his message, but it is clearly discerned that he intends what he says on this suject to be regarded as the most important part of the docu- sient. lie begins on the question by re ferring to the treaty of peace between Spain and the United States signed De cember 10th, 189S, by which Spaia ceded to this country the Philippine Islands in consideration of 20,00O,0O0 and peace. He declares on this question: "The islands were ceded by the gov ernment of Spain, which had been in un disputed possession of them for centuries. "They were accepted not merely by our authorized agents in Paris under tne di rection of the executive, but by the con stitutional and well conidered actlm of the repiesentatives uf the people in both houses of congress. I had every reason to believe and I still believe that this transfer of sovereignty was in accordance with the wishes and aspiratious of the great mass of the Filipino people. "On the 21st of December, after the treaty was signed, the commander of the forces of occupation was instructed 'to announce and proclaim in the most public manner that we came, not as invaders and conquerors, but as friends, to protect the natives in their homes, in their em ployments and in their personal and re legiou rights." A SHOT FOR AGUINALDO. "It is enouh to say that the claim of the rebel leader tu-.t that he wa prom ised independence by any officers of the Unjted States ix return for his assistance has no foundation and is categorically denied by the yery witnesses who were called to prove it. The most the insur gent leader hoped for when he came to Manila was the liberation ot the islands fiom the Spanish control, which they had Leen laboring in vain to throw off. "The prompt accompliinment of this work by the American army and navy gave Lim other ideas and ambitions, and insiduous suggestions from various quar ters perverted the purpose and intentions with which he had taken up arms. "The future government of the Philip pines rests with the congress of the United States. If we accept them in a spirit worthy of our race and our tradit ions', a great opportunity comes with them. The islands lie under the protec tion of our flag. They are ours by every title of law and equity. They cannot be abandoned. If we desert them, we leave thematotce to anarchy and finally to barbarism. We fling them, a golden ap pie of discord, among the rival powers, no one of which could permit another to seize them unquestioned. ' Ah Anorialrt I'ress Mn Gives Au Aceouat or the H odder River EngMgreraent. London, Dec. 5. The correspond ent of the Associated Press with General Met buen's column, tele graphing from Mddder Eiver, last Thursday, says: The Waterloo of the campaign has beeu fought and won. The battle was conducted with un precedented stubbornness on both sides. There was no flinching on either side, and not a moment's panse. For hours the British bat tery poured tons of shrapnel and shells into the Boer positions. Lord Methnen had 22 gnna and each fired an average of 288 rounds. The Boers had an almcst equal number of gnns, which it is reported, were manned by French and German ar tillerists. Owing to the bend in the riyer ou the right, the Boers had an opportunity of cross firing on the British attack. The Boer Hotchkiss was directed with marvelous accur acy against a British Maxim, killing j the sergeaut in charge, wounding au officer and disabling the gun. -This occurred quite at the beginning of the engagement. Y henever the Boer fire was silenced in one direction it reopened in another. Owing to the ternno fare nobody on the plain was out of range. Dispath-bearers found it impossibe to get forward. No quarter seems to have been given on either side. The British assert that amid the bullets the am bulance wagons displayed their flags promiscuously to no advantage. These were repeatedly driven back aud were compelled to take refuge out of sight. It is reported that General Cronje, with his contingent, retreated to wards Langeberg at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Others followed in the direction of Jacobs, aud the main bodv of the Boers retired, with the guns, about 8 o'clock in the evening. On the following morning at day break, the British threw shells into the yillage. Getting no response, the cavalry crossed the river and found the enemy's camp deserted. Dead Boers and many who were dy ing were to be seen every where In the entrenchments, as well as mi menus uew graves. Buildings were in smoking ruins. Some of the Boer prisoners say that General Cronje was in supreme command. He had to whip his men to preveut the com mand from deserting, and despite this, many threw down their rifles and fled. "JffgToesTiIfbul'ent at Troy. Troy Examiner. Last Sunday a lot of colored boys who were staying in The small house near Pin erest hotel, fell out amoug themselves, and one of them Jim McRae, wanted to shoot another darkey, but Cuff a small colored boy bound to J. R. Blair, wisely hid the pistol and in answer to a call went to the hotel, and was sent by Dr. M. P. Blair to feed his horse. In a short while Jim and his I rother John Mcliae were going through the hotel in search of Cuff and the mis sing pistol. They at last fouud the room occupied by Mr. J. R. and'Dr. Blair and Jim enquired for Cnff aud demanded his pistol, and on being informed that neither one was there, he was kindly asked to leave; this he refused to do, and on the coutrary, said he would die or have his pistol before he would leave; he was then ordered away but instead of leaving he" assumed a fighting attitude. He was finally ejected from the house and the Marshal notified, who came and endeavored to arrest him. But Jim resisted the officer, and his brothers John aud Rufe McRae de clared h-3 should not be arrested. Marshal Jenkins called D. F. Morgan to his assistance, but he was choked to the ground a general fight en sued in which fists, sticks, knives and a pistol were used. Xo one was irrested but Jim Mclue was shot in the upper part of chest, the bail ranging downward, and oue finger shot off; Rufe receirod a terrible knife wound in the back of the neck, and others were more or less hurt it is thought Jim McRae will die. Marshal Jenkins was in the dis charge of his official duty and no blame whatever can be attached to him for his conduct in the affair. It is high time for people who re sist an office of the law, and' others who .interfere to prevent an arrest were taught they are guilty of an of fense agaiust the laws of the State, which should be punished to the fullest extent. - Hon.

Mr. Richardson has been in Congress 14 years and is said to be the best parliamentarian and presid ing officer in the country. General David B.

Details were brought by the s'eamer Wani moo from Australia, of the astrocious murder of a white man and subse quent devouring of the body by the treachercus cannibals of the A-dmiralty islands. A letter dated Manlapea, Xew Britian, says: "Twelve months ago two youug Gernian named Metzke and Molte opened a trading station ou the small island of St. Anthonv, in the Admiralty group, to the oorth of German Xew Guinea, and in spite of the fact that the uatives are a most treacherous and cunning race.appear- ed to get on very well with them. The two traders decided to purchase the island. Molte went to Xew Britain to arrauge the deal, leaving Metzke, with ten Solomon Island boys. Upon Molte's return, he found that Metzke had been mur dered, together with four of his boys, and the bodies had been cut tip, cooked and eaten by the uatives. He Declares Tbat all Signs In dicitte a Landslide From the Kepubiieau Party Next Year. Galveston, Texas, Dec. 3. The Hon. William Jennings Bryan, who is here with Ex-Governor Hogg, on an outing, spoke to-day at some length on next year's campaign. Mr. Bryan states that the Dein;crats will make great gains next year among large classes of the people. "These people comprise the wage earn ers," said he. "Those who have been di rectly affected by the consolidation of the great manufacturing concerns of the country, commonly called trusts. In this class is enumerated day laborers, of fice men, drummeis, etc. These are the people who will vote with the Democrats next year. "With a continuation of such an in crease on our side lor the next twelve months, it will not be a question of whether or not the Democrats can win, but how large the, majority will be. I have no fear for the outcome. The recent elections to an unbiased mind plainly in dicate that the Democrats had the better of it in nearly all States in which elec tions were held. In Ohio, Mr McKinley's home State, is the Democratic gain more clearly shown than anywhere else, except in Maryland and Nebraska. The vote given Jones was an ti-Republican and had he not been in the race it must have assuredly gone to McLean. Next year with the present ratio of increase Ohio will go Democratic by a safe majority. "The Republicans would like to cover me with the glory of personally winning the fight in Nebraska. They would, if possible, lead the people that there were uo issues in this election, and that I was so personally magnetic as to lead the peo ple 1 1 the polls with nothing more than myself as an incentive. The truth of the matter is the people of Nebraska have been awakened. They realize that it is time that a change was being made in the administration of the affairs of the Gov ernment and they proposed to throw off the yoke of a single money standard , a militarism, and to check the ayarice and greed that has almost become the object ive of that party.' A.nd not only in Ne braska, is this the case, but I find from both personal investigation and from those who are in a position to know that the people in many sections of other stages heretofore strongly Republican have made up their minds to join the free silver forces next year." The North Carolina Contests iu Cousress. Washington Special to Raleigh Hews Observer, 4th. " The two principal things of inter est in Congress to Xorth Carolinians are, of course, the settlement of the contested election cases in the House and the confirmation of Ewart iu the Senate. Respecting the former Xorth Caroliuiaus are hopeful that both Mr. Crawford and Mr. Bellamy will be permitted to retain their seats. There are ten contested election cases and the fiat has gone forth that they must all be determined by the end of the first session. The Republican majority is only thirteen, which is uncomfortably close. The Repubiicau leaders know how hard it is to keep a quorum present, and they intend to unseat as many of the opposition as possible and preserve the least show of decency. Mr. Bellamy says that his is a very strong case and seems to be sanguine of winning it. Mr. Crawford states that Pearsou now relies altogether on a small technicality the place where a precinct election was held. He does not believe that Pearsou will be able to impress the Election committee on this point, and, failing to show force or fraud, he thinks the contest falls to the ground. Respectiug the contest in Sixth district, it is remarked that the fact that Dockery moved to obtain new evidence sign of distress. It would seem that his case needs bolstering up. the here has is a After an uninterrupted career of 82 years the well known publishing house of Harper Bros, is in financial straits. The banking house of J. Pierpont Morgan & Co. has a mortgage on the concern for $3,500,000 and there are outside debts amounting to $2,000,001.

The Richmond Dispatch has resurrected the record of some meetings of the Richmond city council, and some correspondence growing out of some of the proceedings, which have a peculiar interest just at this time. It appears that at a meetiug of the council in question ou the 9th of November, 1863, Mr. James A. Scott, one of its members, offered a resolution, which was adopted, ap propriating $UO,000 "for the pur chase of a house and lot to be ten dered to Geueral Robert E, Lee and family, free of rent," and that at a subsequent meeting of the couucil Mr. Scott read the following letter aud requested that it be spread upon the minutes, which was done audits request complied with: Headquarters Army Northern Virginia. To the President of the City Council, Richmond. Va . Sir My attention has been directed to a resolution reporte I in the newspapers as having bean inlr j lued into the body over which you prenle. hariti? for its object the purchase by the city of Rich- m )nd of a house for the use of my fami ly. I assure you, sir, that n want of ap preciation of the houor conferred on me by this resolution or iusensibdity to the kind feeling which prompted it, induces me to ask, as I most respectfully do, that no farther proceedings t2 taken with ref erence to tne subject.

E. Lee, General. November 12, 1863. From Poplar Hill to Concord What We Saw anU Heard on the Trip. Correspondence of the M. & L We spent a night iu Charlotte, both on the up and down trip. We went from Charlotte to Concord by private convey ance, so we could the .better take in the country. We passed the convicts at work on this, the Concord road. One trusty escaped while we were in the county. ( We found the convicts under splendid discipline, working like beavers. It was like clock work, reminding one of army drill keeping time with their tools'. They have road working down fine in that county, the cost of grading and rocking not exceeding $1,600 per mile. Meck lenburg has now over 80 miles macadam ized roads. Every township has a tax for the working of their township roads outside the tax for macadamizing, which is done by the county at large. After leaving Mecklenburg, and passing into Cabarrus, we fouud the roads Iu bad con dition, sadly in need of abetter system of working them. The fine farms" showed plainly enough that the heads of those farms had deserted them for the towns buildings going to wreck. In a distance of 12 miles only two or three landlords were at home. Arriving in Concord we found a stir ring, hustling city, that had quadrupled in size and population in the last ten or twelve years. They have about the same number of spindles as Charlotte, and more than twice the number of looms, and the mills are running night and day. We found a great many there from Anson , Stanly and Montgomery counties, and all seemed to be doing well. They pay good prices for work there. Everything in the market is high. After taking in the sur roundings I concluded it was a splendid location for the doctors. Col. R. T., I met our old friend Joe Ma brey there; he sent yon his kindest re gards and would like to know if you have forgotten the negro and the snake and the bull dog. I told him you neyer for got anything. ' Joe is doing well; had one son in the Spanish war. ' I also met Cab Watkjtis, John Ross, (Jurlee, Bundy and hosts of others. All seem to be doing well, except Mr. Curlee, who is sick with fever, but wa3 no better when I left. Concord is certainly an object lesson, showing what factories will do for a place and people. We want to see the time when every pound of cotton grown in the south will be manufactured at home, and when that day arrives you will see the South what God and nature designed it shoull be, the most favored spot on the globe. We have the climate and soil; let v.se our opportunities while we may. I want Anson county to manufacture ev ery pound of cottou we produce, and let it be a finished product, ready for the consumer. We want a closer relation' ship between the raw material and the finished product; in more exact words, the' producer and the factories. We want as many of the middle men knocked out as possible. Let the factories buy direct from the producers and let the difference between the raw and finished product be ess, else when factories bare been ap plied, the producers will be so crippled as not to be able to supply them. Multi ply factories in our midst and the proper spirit manifested between producers and munufacturers, then competition will be worth something to the producers. Let southern mills let trust and combines se verely alone, keeping in touch with the producers interest. Prosperity can then be seen all over our God favored section. Divide more even, let no class try to get all the benefits. May we live to see such a day on LirTLE Brown Creek. Ued llol From the Gun Was the ball that hit G. B.

Thanksgiving day was spent by lots of folks hunting and really we heard more hooting that day than any one day dur ing the holidays last Christmas. As for our part, this day with us was no more than any other day, but if it wa? spent or observed as it was meant to be, we should fast and give thanks for the manifold blessings which have been so merci tally bestowed npon ns during the last year as l a nation and individuals and not in sport and merriment, but we should keep these things in mind continually to remember our Creator and his Goodness to us and to do unto our neighbor as we would have him do to ns. Christmas is right at the door again and how fast the wheels of time seem to move cn ; only one month more and this annual festival will be here. Lots of people think that Christ was born on December 25th, but we much doubt this being the case, as in the Bible the time, day month nor year is men tioned and during the second and third centuiies the 6th day of January was thought to be the day, and, again, to prove that Dec. 25th is an error, it is said that "December being the height ct the rainy season in Judea, it is not likely that flocks and shepherds were, dnring that month, found by night in the fields of Bethlehem." And not until the fourth and fifth centuries was Dec. 25th observed asChristmasJor during these two centuries the Roman Catholic church decided on this as the day and as Rome was the cen tre of Paganism and December the month of her festivities, they were transmuted to December and termed "The Festivities of Christmas." Anyway, what is called Chistmas is not what it once was, but seems to be growing out of its once joy fulness and pleasure, or at least, the last few have been very dull . We are indetd sorry to learn that we have the dreaded small pox to contend with, but hope we will -not have an epi demic of this scourge. There is to be a public debate at White Store iust before Christmas. I believe the Amendment question is, the subject for discussion. A large crowd is expected to be present. The speakers already se lected are Messrs. B. H. Griffin, R. D Kedlearn. r.. ana J. JY Iteaiearn, Jr. Other speakers may be added. The question discussed last Saturday night was "would territorial expansion prove detrimental to the Uuited States." There was good argument produced on both sides of this question. Prof. Switten berg was re elected president of the so ciety Saturday night. We had occasion, last Tuesday, to pass the residence of Mr. A. R. Edwards, of Uuion county, and he showed us his fine herd of hogs. He has lately killed one, just a few days oyer one year old, thai 'weighed 369 pounds and has one yet to slaughter that is said will ti the beam at 699 or over.
