The papers of to-day (Wednesday) give nothing defi nite as to the battle in the Phil lipines Sunday. The cable has been cut' and there is no way of getting communication from our fleet therebut it is gener ally believed that commander Dewey has completely destroyed the Spanish fleet and has taken the city of Manilia. No account of the losses on either side can be obtained! It is thought that the American fleet is not seri ously disabled and that the loss of life is small among our sail ors. Spain, it is reported will make .one desperate effort to crush our fleet now in Cuban waters. There are 10,000 troops at Tam pa, Fla.; ready to be transport ed to Cuba. The last Capture reported was a Spanish mail steamer with one Spanish colo nel and 19 other army officers on board. Two regiments of State vol unteers are now in camp at -Raleigh- drilling and awaiting .orders. DEMOCRATIC MASS MEETING Pursuant to call the Demo crats of the county met in Lil lington last Thursday. Owing to the severe rain and wind storm of Wednesday not so many were present as was ex pected but a goodly number of representative men of the coun ty were present. The meeting was called to order by Chairmau D. H. McLean who in a few well chosen words stated the ob ject of the meeting and called Mr. J. C. Clifford to the chair and Messrs, J. P. Pittman and W. P. Byrd to act as secretaries. This organization was made permanent and after a short speech from Mr. Clifford the meeting proceed to business. A roll townships was called and every township was repre sented except Barbecue and Johnssonville. The chair appointed a com mittee of three, Messrs D. H. , McLean, C. McArtan and L. L. Turlington on resolutions. While the committee on reso lutions was out Hon. E. W. Pou, who was present by invi tation, was introduced and ad dressed the meeting in an able and eloquent speech. Mr. Pou spoke in one of his happiest strains appealing! to the white men to stand together and for getting past diff erences to act in unison to redeem the State from the hands which now control its affairs and that have brought disgrace to its iair name. Jiiverj Democrat was enthused with his effort and the Populists, "of whom there was quite a num ber present, expressed compli ments. The committee on resolutions reported the following resolu tions which were unanimously adopted : We, the Democratic party of llarnett countT in mass meet ing assembled do hereby renew our pledges of loyalty and fidel ity to the time honored princi pies and traditions of the Na tional Democratic party, found ed by Jefferson, and upheld by me latliers of our republic for more than a hundred years. That we hereby re-affirm our ad hesion to the doctrines of finan cial reform as ennuciated by the Jnicago Platform of 1896 j mn we ueciare mat we are satisfied that the white race is superior to the black race in all those attributes of citizenship which fit men for leadership, or the administration of erovern ment, and hence are in favor of white supremacy in North Carolina and opposed to colored men holding office whose func tions are to be administered over white men and women. That we are in favor of keej ing the schools of the two races forever separate, and are there fore opposed to mixed schools, or mixed school committees but on the contrary we favor the management of w li i t e schools by white men and col ored schools by colored men. That we denounce as unpa triotic and reprehensible the extravagance and wantonness of the last legislature in in creasing taxes, multiplying of- hCS tor tne soie purpose oi re warding men for political ser vice, to the oppression of the' tax ridden people of the State. Wre denounce the last legisla ture for putting a negro city politician in the most impor tant office of the Agricultural Department, which was made for the protection of the farm ers against the- frauds of the fer tilizer manufacturers who had sold worthless fertilizers to our people . That'we denounce the corrup tions and scandals of the pres ent State administrations and promise the people a clean ' and reputable administration o f their State affairs when the Democratic party is returned to power. That we sympathize with our white brothers and sisters of the eastern counties of the State, who are now wearing the yoke of negro rule which is worse than that of Turkey over Arme nia, -or Spain over Cuba. We promise these Anglo-Saxon neighbors of ours relief from such slavery as soon as the white men of the middle and western sections of the State get together. That we invite all white men who have in- their veins true inglo-Saxon blood, and in their bosoms the hearts of patriots to turn their backs upon all past differences and prejudices and join with us in a mighty effort to carry the above principles and pledges into effect, We de clare that it is not for the emol uments orj perquisites of office we are n g lit ing but for the prosperity and glory of North Carolina whose welfare is our chief purpose and aim. The following resolution was introduced by A. M. Woodall who asked that it be made a part of the above resolutions which was done : That we heartily endorse the administration of our Chair man, Hon. D. H. McLean, in the management of the party's affairs m the county and com mend his tetion in calling this triotic, ania we invite all per sons who ' favor our principles and the government of the State by white men to participate in our primaries. The meeting after the ap pointment of " three delegates from each township to each-convention passed the following resolution: "That each and every Demo crat who may attend all or either of the three conventions, whether he be a delegate or not, may sit in the convention and vote his pro rata strength in the same and be entitled to act as if he had been appointed by this meeting." The meeting unanimously in structed the representatives from Harnett to the Judicial convention to vote first and all the time for Hon. E. W. Pou for a re-nomination for Solicitor. Mr. Pou is so well and favora bly known here that it is not necessary for us to say anything aboirt his strength in the coun ty. Lvery Democrat is for him and wants him re-elected. Roll of Delegates.

Tne county commissioners were in regular session at Lil lington Monday and at the re quest of the State Superinten dent of Health, from whom the chairman read a letter notifying the . board that the law was mandatory on them to appoint a superintendent of Health for the county, the board proceed d to appoint one, and conferred hat honor upon Dr. O. L. Den ning, of Dunn. The registered physicians of the county should have an or ganization. They have them in nearly all the counties and we do not see why they have not organized and had a medi cal board in this county long ao. We have" as: well read and as intelligent physicians in Harnett as can be found in the State and it seems to us that it would be beneficial to them to organize and meet and exchange ideas and become thoroughly acquainted wttji each other. Where they are organized and have a society in the county, their members together with the county commissioners and the mayor of the town in which the county seat is located make the Board of Health which meets annuallv on the first Monday in June and elects a county Superintendent of Health. The county needs a board of health and it is a work in which the physicians should be inter ested. Let our physicians meet in Lillington the first Monday in June and form one. Bears tli Signature of The Kind Yon Hate Always Baiibt AYER'S PILLS " HaYlnjy been subject, for years, to constipation, without being able to find much relief, I at last tried Ayer s Pills, and testify that I hare derived great benefit from their use. For over two years past I have taken one of these pills everv nieht." G. W. Bow max, 26 East Main St., Carlisle, Pa. CURB CONSTIPATION. Sexton-McKay Married The marriage of Miss Irene Norman McKay and Dr. Call H. Sexton which had been the theme in society circles since the announcement of their be trothal a few weeks ago, was consumated at the Methodist church in the town last Wednes day evening at 9 o'clock. The Rev. A.. M. HaSsell of the Presbyterian church was the of ficiating clergyman. Altlio a terrific storm of rain and wind was prevailing, which was cal culated to pall the stoutest heart, long before the appointed hour for the ceremony the church was filled with the friends and admirers of the contracting par ties . The church had been most beautifully decorated by the friends of the bride, and the al tar and chancel were enveloped in a dense profusion of potted plants, ferns, roses and palnis whose depths were lighted up with tiny waxen tapers, upon which the dazzling light of the overhanging chandelier was re flected making the whole a scene of exceeding beauty, reminding one of the Fairy Grottoes of poe sy, or the fabled garden of the Hesperides. Preceded by their ushers Messrs McKay, Hines, Hill, and Clif ford the bride attended by her maid of honor Miss Lizzie Mc Kay, and the. groom leaning up on the arm of his brother Dr. J. A. Sexton of Raleigh ap proached the altar from oppo site aisles and met beneath an arch and floral horse shoe where the solemn words were spoken that made this twain one flesh and bound these two young and happy lives together by those golden bonds which naught but death can break. The sweet symphonies of Men delssohn's wedding march were evoked from the organ keys un der the skilled and artistic touch of Miss Nettie Barnes, the organist of the church. The gown of the bride was a creation of handsome white satin with full train, reminding one of the glorious ante-bellum days, when the women of the South with imperial decree dic tated the fashions of the world She carried in her hand a bou quet of Brides Roses and Lil ies of the Valley. After the marriage the bridal party accompanied by a few im mediate friends repaired- to the nagnificent and spacious home of Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Best where a reception was given them. The doors of the supper room wore soon drawn back, and revealed to the delightec guests a banquet spread in ex quisite taste and profusion. Af- ter supper the hours past swift ly by, spent in many a jocund jest, repartee, 'land good natured raillery, in which clerical exclu siveness and professional state liness and dignity of age all merged in the happy stream of merriment as of the daysof Auld Lane Syne. At last the mid- night adieus were said, and the happy party dispersed to their homes carrying with them the memories of this happy event, which will not be forgotten. The bride is the daughter of the-Hon. D. McN. McKay, who was a man of great literary cul ture, and she had inherited from both parents a fondness for lit erature for its own sake, and had enjoyed every advantage which wealth and refinement could suggest. The groom is a physician of marked distinction and has in his veins that sturdy highland blood that has made Flora Mc Donald and : the heroes of col odden famous the world over. Beginning life under such auspicious sorroundings the fu ture seems to have nothing in store for this wedded pair but perfect and complete content. May the glorious morn pres age the coming eve.
