In an engagement supposed to have been taken place oa August 5, the American troop* were defeated and compelled to retire via Worceater, toward Albany, Its new base, vigorously pursued by the enemy. In the meantime the enemy poshed one of Its divisions westward to obtain control of all im, portant Junction points along the New York.

The American troops near New York City as* supposed to -v . ' be rushed toward Dan bury and Bridgeport, while a detachment of the hostile army took possesion of I Waterbury. The enemy la suposed to be hampered la tta advance toward New York by the scarcity of rolling ? stock, concentrated in Boston and[ New York City and by some aecoad' ary American naval graft on the Hndson, ready to Interfere with transportation over the shore lin? of the N.

In all tl&ici will be more than twenty thousand men in the field at this year'8 manoeuvres, including the regulars, being the 5th U. S. field artillery. Brigadier General Tasker H.

As Mr. toi I Fleming was leaving the deport of W] ftft? capital city for his home he was cn | approached by a newspaper solicitor wt : and according to the Raleigh News 0n and Observer the following occurred m, | which no doQbt will prove interesting j reading to the many friends- of Mr. Fleming: ?je When Mr. Sylvester Fleming went w] to the statloh yesterday to return to pe his home In Washington, he loitered to a bit on tbe streets and he was left? Like the Kentucky gentleman who fu wanted to employ a few minutes be- 8n tween gathering of the crowd and t,e the hour of the hanging, for the purpose of making an announcement, an agent approached Mr. Fleming. "1 K, want to sell you the Appeal to Reaa- _ on, a good Socialist paper friend,'? ? the comrade of Mr. Fleming said. T1 And he followed It up by telling Mr. I Fleming that a neighbor in Washington, next door almost to Mr. Fleming takes the paper. "I don't want it," Mr. Fleming aaid. "There aint any room In this country for but two parties. I am Rl a Democrat, an old war Democrat, a H Judge Clark Democrat, a Bryan Democrat, a progressive Democrat, and if dl I wasn't that I would be h Republl- ?* can. There is no middle of the road ?* or top of the fence for me. I never knew how to ride-the rtflls of a fence I always got on one side or> the othor." And the agent found Socialism A1 hard to present under those eircum- fo stances. Here was a man who had plenty of time between 2:40 and : 15 18 in which to listen, but he had made up his mind forty years ago. Mr. George E. Crabtree. of Golds- hi boro, N.

Every Worker liiff Sffi'iain ~ of the House of Representatives ? which investigated the Steel Trust, f? deserves great creldt for the syste " matic and highly capable manner in which he conducted the inquiry. M The cost of the entire investigation ts waa but $39,000. This amount is in a* striking Contrast to the cost of some ld of the investigations under the Rea" publicans, notably that of the immi* gration question at an expense to the te people of more than $600,000. Mr. Stanley saw to it there were *? no personal excursions or junkets f? with the money appropriated for the n probe of the steel corporation. He r was willing to spend money for all t_ necessary expenses, but was careful tl" that not a dollar was squandered. a" It will be recalled that the investd tigators of the immigration question spent their appropriations like water 'H touring Europe in the most luxurious style, visiting at government expense *" all the prominent places of Interest, even journeying to the pyramids in d Egypt. 18 Mr. Stanley's name will go down in ld history along with the masterful report of his committee, and b* and O the members of the committee who ie co-operated with him, deserve well In b- the estimation of the American people for work well done. ?- Per Capita Wealth, u Sixty years ago the per capita ?e wealth In the United States was $307 le today It is about $1,300, an Increase a- of about 300 per cent. While the sf per capita wealth has greatly lner creased, the distribution of it has Id i been most unequal.

TAVKXNER) (Special Washington Correspondent) WASHINGTON. D. C., Aug. 9.? "George W. Perkins In chair." This quotation does not refer to Mr. Per, kins' presence In the chair at the Chicago Moosefelt convention. Tie quotation is taken from the the stool trust held April 6, 1904. at ! which It was decided that subsidiary companies of the steel trust manufacturing half finished articles should not sell same to competitors of the trust (See page 108 Stanley Steel report.) This is only one of the revelations contained in the report of the Stanley?Steel Trust Investigating Committee, one of the most able and remarkable documents of this decade. The Stanley report, in addition to indicting former President Roosevelt to permitting the trust to obtain absolute domination of the steel industry, .reveals beyond success^! contradiction how George W. Perkins came into possession of the colossal fortune that he is now spending to finance the Roosevelt third term movement. Here is the story of the Perkins wealth: To start with Mr. Perkins made some of his millions by captali| zing thin blue air into millions of uuiiam ui rrttl muuej'. He made more millions by getting a monoply of wire nail manufacturing plants and forcing the American farmers to pay |3.20 a keg for wire nails that were sold before the organization of the trust for from 81.25 to 31.50 a keg. (See page 8 Stanley report.) Then he made more millions by forcing the thousands of workers in the blast furnaces of his steel mills to work twelve hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. As a postscript to the above information, the following history of Mr. Perkins may be of interest to many at this time. , Mr. Perkins was a chief aide and co-schemer of J. Pierpont Morgan while the latter was in the years between 1000 and 1911 throttling bus; iness In every direction. It was Perkins who as Morgan's business partner showed Morgan how to dominate r the boards of directors of all the great railroads, banks and trust companies and all the great industries trusts, to the end that Morgan now has a strangle hold on a corpora ' wealth of over 35,000,000,000 an ai j mount equal to one-third o'f the . wealth of the nation. / uwnmrtTofIadies was a great success ... \ The Lawn party given by the La dies Aid Society on the green of the : First Methodist Church last evening for^tfo benefit of the church wm a > conspicuous success. A neat sum was realised for the pavement In front of the church and also on Market > 8treet.

The new board of elections for Beauford County named by the State board of elections, will to a very great extent take the office out of politics and when this is done with more of the appointive officers a more satisfactory condition of affairs will exist. Special Meeting oj To Consider th There was a special meeting of the Board of Aldermen held at the City Hall last evening foT tbe purpose of considering the water problem of the city. All the members of the board were present except Alderman E. A. Daniel. Inasmuch as Engineer Booker of the Stale Board of Health had made certain recommendations to the Board through Dr. D. T. Tayloe a member of the State Board of Health. which were submitted to the board at their regular meeting on Monday last, the call meeting of the City Fathers was to adopt ways and means to carry out if possible the recommendations as made by the State EnLYRIC PICTURES PLEASES THE LARGE AUDIENCES ? ?..> The pictures exhibited again last evening at the Lyric were pronounced to be a great feature as a drawing card. As usual they are a class very entertaining as well as elevating, and the people are displaying their appreciation by the large attendance every night. Today's program there will be some more pictures equally as good as those shown last night, the feature of the day being a side splitting comedy "The Dumb Wooing" by Banister Mervin. MR T. W. UOXXER OF RONNERTOX DEAD Mr. T. W. Bonner died at his home in Bonnerton on the morning of July 30th. He was about fiftyone years old. He leaves a wife and cine children to mourn their loss.

The two dry kilns including all . headings and staves in the kilns un der a process of drying, were totali ly destroyed at the Pamlico Cooper- J8 < age Plant, situated on East Main St., this morning. -While the loss cannot 'enw be estimated at the hour of going to press, the Daily News is safe in stating that It will approximate fffteen thousand dollars. ' The lire was discovered in one of ' the dry kilns by one of the employes of the plant and he immediately gave the alarm. Mr. John Gorbam * 'rf. the secretary and treasurer of the company, was in his office at the time the alarm was given settling for some logs. Before the fire department reached the scene the entire upper part of the dry kilns was ahlaze and the material Inside of the kilns doomed. The department al- H though handicapped by the distance and the conditions surrounding the nlanf Hid vrwwi ? - ?" * c?v. iuu luruujjn their efforts saved adjacent building* j At one time the mill plant proper of the company was threatened but was saved by the department. How the fire originated is not known?all the employees know Is that the fire had gained good headway before discovered. The Cooperage Company manufactured staves and headings and since its incorporation has been doing a lucrative business. The Company carried insurance to the amount of which is not known by this paper. No doubt the company will begin rebuilding at once.. The loss is a severe one to this young and energetic manufacturing plant and they have the entire sympathy of the community. * : the Aldermen e Water Problem gineer of the State Board. The matter of water sanitation was discussed at length by not only the members of the aldermen but outsiders, including Dra. Tayloe. Rodman and Brown. Finally an ordinance was drafted by the City Attorney, H. C. Carter Jr., making the city block on which the Washington Light and Water Company plant is located a sanitary district. This ordinance was passed by the aldermen and in consequence all the surface drainage is to bo removed. A full draft of the ordinance as passed by the aldermen will appear elsewhere in the Dally News. FORMER CITIZEN HERE TO VISIT HK RFI ATMNC -- . . ...u iiuuiil IV11U 4 Mr. J. H.
