The New York Sun obsfrves that the goyernmest pays a bounty to i'a fighters that will probably amount to $170,000 in the naval fight at San tiago. One hundred dollara pr man on board of an enemy's vessel is given to tbe oiew that defea's her when the strength of tbe enemy is inferior, ana $300 for every man on the enemys'a ahip is allowtd if the enemy is defeated and sunk by her t qual or superior. in the case of the Furor and the Flu ton which were knocked to pieceB by tha Comir the advantage of strength is said to have been clearly on the Spanish side. There were about 135 men on the two and the Tiotory will secure a bounty of about $37,000. In several cases in that fight it is believed that the $200 rate will be allowed bringing up tbe amount of the bonnty to eometbing like $170,000. In the division the Commander of the fleet gets 1-20 ; the command- ineoffioer of a division gita 1-50; the fleet Captain gets 1-100; each captain of a yessel gets 1 10 of thu amount assigned to that vessM and the remainder is divided by giving eaob a certain per oent on his wugee that will di'pnie of the sum. wm-m QUIET AT SANTIAGO.

JULY 14 A GREAT OCEAN TRAGEDY Two Mi I pa rollide anil OeeOore Down Witn Sua aj0ijin'h Blame le At tnrhed to the Crew Bat one Wo man ajitved. A most borril le ocean tragedy ocs enrred about 60 miles South of Sable Lland ( ,'ust east of Nova Scotia) on the morning of July 4tb. The French 8teamer La Bour- gogne, with 725 people aboard, was struck by tbe Cromarthyshire in a thick fog. Tbe Cromarthyshire was not seriously hurt but tbe unfortu nate La Bourgogce sunk and with it 6G2 lives were engulfed. Tbe calamity was much greater than it was necessary from the fact that the f.fficcra could exercise no discipline over the brutal sailors 8trong men fought like demons to saye their own lives and pushed, struck, and stabbed those in their way. A boat full of women and children was not cut 1 OEe and when tbe ship sank the, with hundrods of o hers, were drawn down in th vortex. Another was capsized with all on board. But oi.e woman, tbe wife of Captain La caese, was Bayed, She, with the aid of a life preserver and some help from her husband, narrowly escaped tbe maelstrom. When the vessel went down and tbe suction carried so many tha returning waters shot npward and threw op 200 or more bodies. Much blame is attached to the selfish 8nd cruel seamen whof wilh courage and humanity, might have saved ao many lives. Paris is in mourning and it ia a calamity to elicit tbe sympathy of i be civilized world. I', will take some time to learn who all are bereft by the awful mis bup. 4 harlotle la Look In it At la. The Charlotte News of Wednes day, in speaking of a probable game of baseball between Concord and Cheraw on the Charlotte diamond, ays : "This is respectfully referred to Col. John C Waedworth, of Con cord, and Charlotte hopes that he will ace to it that the Concord team comes over prepared to make a bril liant fight. We all over this way feel kindly toward Concord's crack team and therefore do not wish to see South Carolina meet them and defeat them." Aa for Concord's playing Cheraw ia a game of baseball, itdependsen. tirely upon what action Cheraw takes to a letter sent them by our cup'ain here. Our team is trying to orrange a game with them every day, but cannot hear anything from them. If they can get a game with them on the Charlotte diamond we d nc t fear defeat at the hand of our ei ter State. THE EXCHANGE IS MADE, Mem. Iloneon and Hli "cvtn Mm ijtven For 15 NpnnlaraM Wednesday rvenlnff-They Fared Well In Prison We have seed in several of our nehcngee that Lieut. Hobfon and bis men had been exchanged, but in each instance tbe assertion was bused on what was only fairly cer tain, but not a positive surety, It is a fhet however now. Tbe ti cbsnge took place Wednesday at o'olock p. m. Fourteen Spaniards were gWen for tbe seven men with llobson. Three Lieutenants were taken to tbe place of exchange be tween tbe lines and tbe Spanish officer choae one from the three in exchange for llobson. The other two were taken back to prison. S3 Our heroee were almost over whelmed with demonstrations of joy by the American soldiers aa they passed through the lines. They were conducted to the headquarters of G.n. Wheeler and Gen. Shafter and finally reached their comrades on their ship about dark. After a few days cf sullen treat ment by tbe Spaniards at Morro Castle they were ti rated very nicely Tarhoro Derealed Thin Time. Though Tarboro has been look ed upon as the champion team of Eastern North Carolina, she fell below Thursday when Wilson crossed bats with them. Billy Weddington; of this place, did the pitching for Wilson. Tbe score stood as follows : Wilson 8 runs,t7 lata and errors. Tarboro 7 runs, p2 hits and 7 errors. The butteries were Weddington and LeOrand; Tetty and Acoor ciui. TANDARD. Joint Mnuday Stnool Convention. The joint Sabbath school conven tion of townBhips No. 2 and 3, will be held at Gilwood ohurch on Fri day, July 29th, at 10 a.m. All of the Sunday schools in the two town ships are expected to be preeent and take part. The following addresses, interspersed with musio, will be given : Address of Welcome by C H Hamilton. Response by Williamson Morris. Rev C F Rankin "The object of Sunday school." Rev. G L Cook "The impors tance of tbe parents as well as the children being in school." the Sabbath I F H Cassady "How to interest all in Sabbath school work." Rev. J F Pharr "Sabbath ob aervance." Besides the addresses, the vice presidents of the two townships will make reports and also the superin tendents. There will also be an election of officers and delegates and the seleotion of a place for the convention. Every one is cordially invited to attend. They Have An Armory. The military company met Thursday night and by a vote of tbe members the rooms over the Times office, formerly OBed by the Drum Corps, was decided upon as their armory. There is some com plaint on the part of the o (beers that some of the members who gave in their names so promptly are not attending the drills. At their next bus'nees meeting, rulea in regard to attendance will be adopted. It was also decided that the com pany now meet in their armory on Thursday night of each week. Capt. Edward Hill Hlek. From War Oorre.pondent Fred Merritt we note that Capt Edward Hill bad at attack of nephritio colic on dress paride Thursday afternoon and bad to be removed from the field by an ambulance.

They Were AH Tall reople. The attention of our people in our business houses was attracted today (Friday) by an unusually tall, robust, fine shaped young man. It was Mr. Streit, who travels for a suspender company. He was born in Canada. lie is six feet and six inches high and weighs 237 pounds. Ee was in troduced to our townsman, Mr. Jno. Cline, and neither one looked np to the other. They were the same height, not lacking tbe six teenth of an inch. Hardly had their measure been marked on the wall until Mr. Houston Goodnight, the tallest man in Cabarrus coun ty came walking in and beat their mark still. This was certainly an association ot tall people, and peo ple that we must look up to. ,Tbe I'nlted ntatee Are." The old controversy as to whether the United States "is" or "are" has sprung up again. Recently the London Times said: "The United States are at war with Spain," whereupon the Cleveland Leader remaks : 1 here it is again I Ihe same old European ignorance of Ameri can institutions. United States is at war with Spain." Instead of showing "ignorance of American institutions" this in stance the Londen Times is exaotly right and the Cleveland Leader dead wrong. Tbe ignorance of American institutions is on our side of tbe wa ter this time. If the editor of the Leader will take the trouble to refer to tbe constitution of the United States, section three, article three, he will find tbe declaration that "trea son against the United States shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their ene mies." The supreme court in its tie cisions habitually uses the United States as a plural. The f Ira I Bale of Ceiion,, The first bale of Texas eotton of the orop of 1898 haa been marketed at San Antonio and bought by the Dallas Commercial Club, which paid a premium of $100 abeve the auction price, and means to present it to the government, that it may fee made into gun cotton for the cruiser Vesuvius. Not often haa patriotism been so racy of the soil. There is Texan spontaneity aa wall as Texan love of freedom in thia free offering from her field.. Monroe Enquirer. 1898. HEWN PAKAURiril.

Preparations1 go on all the same. A bill was passed in tbe Houee of Representatives Thursday to ad journ Congress this (Friday) even ing at 2 o'clock. The President urged, however, that the bill to at'iorize the call for 25,000 colored troops be passed before adjourn ment. The colored troops are more especially adapted to tbe climate and are essential. Gen, Sbafter is confronted with 12,000 or 15,000 refugees from San tiago, who rushed out after Gen.

Senator Morgan opposed adjournment and wished -to take a receis till September. The cloeinj in the Iloufe of R-ip-resi Dtntives was qiite enthusiastic. A diepa'oh to the Morninjj'Pjat aays : When the gavel fell, forty or Gfiy raember8 broke into the aong "America," and then the hole Uouej lined Tbe 6ceno was mag nificent and infpiriDg. Then cheers broke forth for McKinley, the army, tbe navy, Speakor Reed and Gen eral Wheeler. The lutttr seemed to bo the idol of tho hour, and the cheering for him lasted many minutes, bursting fcrth again at frequent intervals, old veterans ot the civil war on the Union side leading. "The Bed, White and Blue" also was snug, followed by cheering for the flag. A hundred small ilacs suddenly appeared and were waved frantically by mem bers while "The Bed, White and Blue" was repeated. Somebody nhonted "Dixie !" whereupon there wns an outburst ot applause and a verse of it was sung. "The Battle Uymn of tbe Keptibho and "Yankee Boodle" followed. The session closod amid the singing of a medley of popular songs." IT'S NOW SETTLED. The Lyeonm If an Now I.alri Anlrie nn Important tlneNllon lleelded at Their Pnhllo Meeting. The Lyceum held their public de bate in their hall Friday night, with Attorney Luther Ilar'aell in the chair. With Mr. L D Uuval and Rey, C Rankin rn the affirmative and Attorney M B Stickley and Rey. U A McUullough on the negative, they debated the quealion, "R-i solved, That it is better to have loved and lost than ne'er to have loved at all." Dr. O D Johnson, tho appointed essayist cf the evening, reid a very witty produc ion on liars, written by M. Quad. The debate was interesting and at times very humorous. Ech de bater clung well to his side of the question. The affirmative strongly advocated the exercising of the fa?, ulty of love, one of the greatest gifts given on, even though our aspirations aometimes are lost. The negative pictured to the audience most impresaively the horrors of those who loved and after losing lived only a life of sorrow and d;g content, having even brought in statistics from an asylum, showing tbe per cent, whose liyes were wrecked by failing to gain the one whom they loved. As will no ticed by those who- know thepe: sons, there was a single and a mar ried man on each side of the quea tion, or as one of tbe debaters 8;id two of the dtbaters knew some bing about tbe "pleasure of being tron. bled with a wife." Dr. Uouaton, D B Morrison, Jno. CraveD, Mrs. R A Brown and Mies Rose Harris were appointed judges to decide the question. They, of cosree, threw asid' their beliefs about the question au l to. k the ar gument of the debaters for what it was worth. Af.er ritgl'ng for uite a while, tbey r. i.d. red their decision i in favor c f the tilirma. live and 1 for tha n- gn'ive. The appointed critic, Prof E B Lewis, made his rrpcrt which was witty from b?ginnins lo end, though just criticisms of tbe debaters. After transposing and remodeling Rev. McCullough's poetry, he had it to read somewhat different from usual. It now reads, "Tis sweet to lose but oh ! how bitter, to love a girl .when h'r dresa don't fit her." They Need I'n. It is literally true that Europe could not get along without supplies from this country.
