poor Lambie s horse had swerved be
tween myself and them. Afte.- ruble
had fallen then they saw me fall for
ward in the saddle and thev know I
was hit. A few strides later one of
them had sent a bullet through my
noise's head and he had rolled on top
of me. Yet w ith it all I had sea ted
with a graze over the right temple ai d
a badly knocked up shoulder. Truly,
as the lioer said, "the hanj of CJod
must have shielded me."
For a day and a half I lay at that
laager whilst our wounded men -were
brought in. and here I should like to
say a word to the pc-opl- of England.
Our men, when wounded, are treated
by the I Joe is with manly gentleness
and kindly consideration. When we
left tlie laager in an open trolly we,
feome half-dozen Australians and about
as many iioers, all wounded, were
driven for ome hours to a small hos
pital, the name of which I do not
know. It was simply a farmhouse
tuined into a place for the wounded.
On the road thither We called at n.any
farms, and aL every one men, women
and c hildien came out to see us. Not
one" taunting word was -uttered in our
hearing, not one braggart sentence
passed their lips. Men brought us
cooling ill inks or mmul us into more
comfortable positions n the trolly.
Women, with gentle fingcis, shifted
bandages, or washed wounds, or gave
us little dainties that come so pleasant
in such a time; whilst the liule chil
dren crowded round us with tears
running down their cheeks as they
looked upon tin- blood-stained khaki
clothing of the wounded Uritlsh. Let
no man or woman in the i'.ritish em
pire whose son or husband lies wound
ed in the hands of the lioers feai for
his welfare, for it is a foul slander to
say that the lioers do riot treat their
wounded well. Kngland does not treat
her own men better than the lioers
treat the wounded Uritisn. and I am
writing of that which I have seen i-nd
know beyond the shad.... of a daubt.
I have made it my business to get
about among the private soldiers-!- to
question them concerning the treat
ment they have received since the i-.o-ment
the Mauser rilles tumbled them
over, and I say emphatically that In
every solitary instance, without one
sincle exitptii.n, our countrymen de
clare that they have been grandly
treated not by the hospital nurses
only, not by the olTicials alone, but
by the very men whom they were
flghtinij. Our "Tommies" are not the
men to waste praise on any mc-n, un
less It is well deserved, but this is just
about how "Tommy" sums up the
eituatinn :
"The liner is a rough-looking beggar
in the Held; 'o don't wear no uniform,
'ii I 'e don't know enough about sol
diers' drill to keep himself warm, but
V ciin h'-ht in 'is own Moomin' style,
which ain't our style. If 'e'd come out

we'd lick Mm everv time, huta hen it

the Itoer is a dandy, 'nd if the rost of

not murh to look at outside, but white
'nd sweet inside when yer know 'im.

about correct in his Judgment.

It is a mistake to take any and every kind of medicine when you are
sick. There is daner in it Most of the so-called cures for " female
aeoknrss" do nothing more than deaden the rain temporarily, and when
the etfect wears awav the patient is weaker and sicker than before. It is
never wise to take chances. You have only one life, and that is dear and
precious. If you have any pain, ache, disorder or weakness in the femi
nine organs, nothing will help you like Wine of Cardui. It helps do
awav with morning sickness during the early stages of pregnancy, and
modifies the pains of childbirth; recovery is rapid and future health b
assured. The Wine is purely veg

medicinal properties act directly

THE POPULIST CAT
IS OUT OF THE BAG
EXPECT REPUBLICANS TO VOTE
THE TICKET AND POPS WILL,
THEN PAY THEM BACK.
HARRY SKINNER I ROPOSES TO
BOB UP AGAIN AT CONVEN
TION AT SIOUX FALLS.
Raleigh. N. C, April 20. ' The .. at is
out of the bag." Republicans whose
word is beyond question tell me that
Populists during Wednesday's stat
convention said to them: "We expect
Republicans to vote our ticket and we
will pay them back." The Republicans
say they knew well the meaning of
those words to be that the repayment
would be voting for McKinley. They say
further that they have known all the
while that many Populists intended to
vote for McKinley. Populists told me
so as far back as last November. The
Republicans who were speaking about
the "Republican-Populists" said the
latter expected federal positions and
really cared nothing about Bryan.
Butler "downed" Skinner in the con
vention, but Skinner refused to stay
down. He will bob up again at the
national convention at Sioux Falls,
May 9. He says he will ask fbat body
to instruct Butler to take down the
Populist electors in North Carolina. It
will be interesting to hear Bryan's
opinion of Rutler. The declaration of
Editor Sossamon at Charlotte that the
majority, of the Populists are anti
Bryan is interesting. It is safe to
gamble that Senator Butler will be on
the majority side. That is where he
always gets, and by short-cuts, too.
The Populists know very well they
can't defeat the amendment. They
know they can't do anything in the
east. They will work Tn the west and
In the piedmont sections, with the Re
publicans, to carry the legislature, or
to get as near a majority as they can.
They will be ready for any and all
deals. They want a senator; that Is,
an anti-Democratic senator.
Your correspondent interviewed Dr.
Cy. Thompson today aoout this county
fusion matter of his party and the Re
publicans. He said he did not know
what the Republicans would do: that
he knew that under certain conditions
the Republicans would be glad to fuse,
but he declined to say what these con
ditions are. (One might guess them to
be a Republican senator and a good
vote for McKinley.) Dr. Thompson
said the ac tion of the Populist state
committee was not binding as to coun
ties, but that was left a matter for
individual action. He knew of no ar
rangement for county fusion. ' He de
clared that he knew of nothing which
led him to believe that there would be
any endorsement of the Populist state
ticket on the part of the Republicans
and that he presumed there would be
three tickets in the field.
Neyer did the Populist machine so
unmask itself as it did Wednesday.
Butler made a complete exhibit of
himself, and very like one of those ar
ticulated figures, those mannikins,
which one can take to pieces, dissect,
so to speak, and put together again at
will.
A great deal of rain has fallen. It Is
rough weather on the New Bern fair,
w hich was made later to avoid the
usually miserable weather of Febru
ary. Judge Pnrnell says the federal court
terms have b.-en held at Elizabeth City
on the third Monday in April an Oc
tober regularly since 1S2S. He says
Elizabeth City is the liveliest place in
all Eastern North Carolina; a business
town and a growing one. He is much
impressed by it.
The first train for Jacksonville on
the Seaboard Air Line has passed here.
The negro convict. Pat Singleton, who
after four years' freedom was captured
this week In the navy yard at Norfolk
was brought to the penitentiary t'
complete a o-year sentence. He was
originally sent up for manslaughter
and Just before his term ended mur
dered a fellow convict. He was for this
sentenced to 30 years, and has served 10
of the term. It cost $119 to recapture
him. He Is one of the most desperate
of all the convicts.
The state charters the Tarboro Knif
ting mills, capital $20,000 (with leave
to increase it to $100,000); stockholders.
Job Cobb. Ceorge Howard, Jr.. and
others. The mills will be near Tarboro
and will make hoisery, underwear, etc.
Yesterday there was a conference of
Senator Butler and the Populist nomi
nees, at which It was decided to write
the Democratic chairman a letter ask
ing for a division of time between the
Populist and Democratic candidates for
senator and state offices. R. B. Davis
was requested to act as secretary to
the state committee until such time as
It regularly elects one.
Leading Democrats say that fHe Pop
ulist federal office holders, at their
state convention, did Butler's bidding
now because they know he has made
his peace with Pritchard and that
Pritchard In the convention was speak
ing and acting through Butler. They
say further that Butler and Pritchard
know they cannot defeat the Demo
cratic state ticket or the amendment.
Their fight will be to capture the leg
islature. Upon the legislative and coun
ty tickets there will Je fusion. The
state Populist ticket will be kept In the
field in order to hold the Populists to
gether and keep them from going to
the Democrats, and the amendment will
be used to excite the fears and arouse
the prejudices of uneducated whites by
all sorts of misrepresentations of its
object and effect. The method of cam.
paigning which will be resorted to will
be the most desperate ever employed in
American politics.
One of the Populist state nominees
tJmld today that the greatest mistake
nla party ever made was fusion with
the Republicans; that it had distinctly
lowered Its tone.

News of the f tate Gathered From the
j Tar Heel Press. J'
Charlotte NeWs: A dog in church
Is bad enough, but a cat is worse. Just
before the lift bell rang at Tryon
Street Methodist church last Sunday
morning a cat proclaimed; Its presence
in the sanctuary by setting up a ter
rible mewing from the northeast cor
ner of the church, where one of the
radiators Is situated. Simultaneously
jMth the mewing, which upset the ris-
ibles of the congregatioti, was the odor
of burning hair. It was thought for
awhile that there was to be an Easter
offering in the nature of a burnt sacri.
tice. Well, it just took the mayor and
the whole board of stewards to get
that cat out from between the wall
and the radiator, before Dr. Chreitz-
beig entered the church.
Morganton News: Deeds were
made tliis week conveying to the Al
pine cotton mill several acres of land
on the railroad a few hundred yards
east of the Morganton depot for a site
for a large new cotton mill. The land
was purchased from Messrs. John W.
Campbell and L. li. liaskins, the
price paid being something over $4000.
the new mill will be a large one and
will, we learn, manufacture cloth as
well as yarns. It is learned that the
Dukes ot Durham are associated with
the Krwlns and Holts In this new en
terprise. Waynesville Courier: Mr. Whipple
C. Hill, one of Haywood county's oldest
and most respected citizens, died at his
Crabtree home Sunday evening at 5
o'clock of Bright's disease. Mr. Hill
was 79 years of age and had lived in
Haywood county nrore than half a cen
tury. He came here almost penniless
and made two fortunes one before the
civil war anl, another since. He was a
bachelor, but "he always had -a large
family of his relatives with him. To
these relatives he gave his handsome
property.
Durham Sun: We" are told that the
health olneer in Person county has vac
cinated something like HQ0 people in
Hollow-ay township. It is said that he
recently went to a place to vaccinate
some people and while' there, the men
of the family got to rearing around
and cutting up, the children got to
crying and two dogs had a big fight.
But the physician did not let these
things bother' him in the discharge of
his duty.
Bryson City Eagle: Bob Lytic of
Haywood county, who has been work
ing for the Eversole Lumber company,
started for home last Friday. He got
as far as Reed's place, an Indian in
Jackson county and was murdered, it
is presumed by an Indian named
Crow, robbed and buried by the par
ties who committed the deed. He had
on his person about $100. Reed and
Crow are now lodged in the Webster
jail.
Charlotte News: Night belox 1-i.st
Jo Orr's wife was alone in her house,
Jo being on duty at the Central. A
negro man entered the house and with
a drawn pistol commanded her to give
him Jo's money. She pretended that
she was going to do so, but instead,
turned and picked up a poker and gave
the man a lick over the head. He drop
ped the pistol and thus deprived of
his weapon left the house.
Shelby Star: There are 60 cases of
smallpox at Henrietta, and over 1500
people have been vaccinated. The
smallpox la confined to the negroes,
there being only one white patient.
There are a number of cases at Gaffney
City, and Shelby has been maintaining
a quarantine against both towns and
other places infected withr the disease.
Shelby Star: Mr. L. A. Gettys has
a $40 bill of continental currency issued
in September, 1778. He obtained it last
week from a gentleman named Wat
ers from the lower edge, of Rutherford
