Dispatches continue to show
progress in the Philippines.
It is sad to noto that Capt.
Varwick of the Eighth Infantry
and ono private were killed on
! Nov, 26th in the Jloilo Province
j in gaining a substantial victory
aad driving the enemy and cap
turing munitions of w;'.r.
The following culled from
Con. O'Js' reports of Doc. 1 are
' very satisfactory.
I "Dispatches from Lawton indi
cate Eayc muoiig was captured on
they'll inst. Both trails-over
the mountains are impracticable
for wheel transportation of any
kind. Tho troops have subsisted
on rice, and scant supplies at
that. Mac-Arthur's troops have
had coverul minor engagements,
c iiituring men and riilcs. Bell's
capture in the mountains includes
14 modern guns, all in good con
dition. Over 50 pieces of ar
tillery were captured by the
troops of his corps in the last
throe weeks. The Oregon
brought in 106 Spanish prisoners
from Vigan yostorday. Ninety
four were received by rail the
previous evening. Young, with
three troops of cavalry and
March's battalion of the Thirty
third Infantry, should have
reached Vigan yesterday.
"Conditions in Zarabo.mga are
satisfactory. Additional ordin
ance was surrendered, consisting
of four field pieces, 17 rifles and
a quantity ammunition. The
i fives of adjoining towns are
. jailing the city, and native miii
i 'y bands aro serenading the
iioops. The thh'ty-first Iufan-I
try leaves Manila this evening to
garrison several stations on the
Mindanao coast; no difficulties
are anticipated."
"Gen. Conon surrenders 800
officer and men with rifles, sev
ere Americans, and 70 Rponish
prisoners, and tho ;;arri--.m c.
!Jayi-nibong, province of Nuova
Vizcay, to Lieutenant Monroe,
with 50 men of tho Fourth
cavalry."
A AVnshington dispatch of Doc.
1st says:
"Word comes from the Philip
pines that the two companies of
Maccabebo scouts, under Captain
Batson, aro doiug so well that it
has beon decided to organize a
full battalion of those natives.
The additional two companies
will bo very useful in the present
campaign, in tracking the flee
ing rem ants of Aguhiaklo's dis-
org.mizod army."

Criticism of Jatlge Ib.hlnsiin.
From some attorneys and
other citizens wo learn facts
which makes it mild to say that
Judge Ilobinson is wholly unlit
for tho position ho holds. His
nnjud.cial temper, his low and
common, pbki wit, his unjust
and prejudiced (lings at others,
his assuming the role of attorney
for ono and against another, as
his prejudices dictate, are such
as to wholly disqualify him as a
judge.
His action here, as far as mis
demeanors woro concerned, was
the same as it was last August,
when ho encouraged crime by
suspending judgment or lining
a penny upon payment of costs,
Liking away tiio peirihies, and
making the enforcement of tho
criminal law a farce. But in the
case of John Farrow, he out

The British troops gained a
decisive victory over tho Boers
at Enslin (Gras Pan) on tho

trenched and had aforcoof about
S.000 troops. The fight lasted

one of the bloodiest, and hardest
fought battles in the arnals Oi

wound inthe leg himself..
Through ten long hours of
fight iug tho troops were almost
without food or water under a
burning sun, for the davs are
hot, the nights being cool.
Ladysmith is holding out, well
fortified, cheerful and confident
according to latest dispatches.

The Dlfroronoe In the Cotton M.uket.
Air. Nat Johnson, ono of No. 3
township's good farmers, has
yet his bill of the first cotton ho
ever sold on the Concord market.
While selling his cottou this
year he brought it along to town
and showed it to us. It was in
the year 1851 that ho sold it.
Tho bales weighed about 340
pounds each and ho was paid
nine cents per pound. In 1870
ho sold another lot, one of the
bales weighing 568 pounds, and
ho was paid 17.30 for it. This
lot was sold toPhifer & Cannon,
which firm did business where D
P Dayvault is now merchandis
ing. For his 1899 lot he was
was given 7.75. So those are
nearer the days of '54 than '72.

was sweetly sung by ono of Con

The charming manner in
which Miss Mary Lewis Harris
told the incidents in tho "Life of
Mozart" from youth to manhood
proved to us that ho was a man
of noble character.
Tho closing number on the
program, "Mozart's Tenth
Sonata," was rendered by Miss
Lucy Lore, in her usual graco

Mrs. Cook, our charming
hostess, thou served tho most

Some Secrets of Success.
Many of our men who have
roared high uionumonts of busi
ness success havo formulated
principles in words that wore as
sign boards or beacon lights in
the pathway of life. Tho follow
ing are accredited to Andrew
Carnegie:
1. Never enter a barroom, nor
lot the contents of a barroom en
ter yon.
2. Do not use tobacco.
3. Concentrate. Having en
torod upon a certain line of work,
continue and combine upon that
lino.
4. Do not shirk; rather go bo
yond your task. Do not let any
young man think ho has per
formed his full duty when ho has
performed the work assigned
him. A man will never riso if
ho acts thus. Promotion comes
from exceptional work. A man
must learn where his employer's
interests lie, and push for theso.
The young man who doos this
is the young man whom Capital
wants for a partner and son-in-law.
He is the young man who,
by and by, roaches tho head of
the firm.
5. Save a little always. What
ever bo your wages, lay by some
thing from them.
0. Never speculate. Never
buy stocks or grain on margin.
7. Never endorse. When .you
enter on business for yoursolf,
never endorse for others. It, is
dishonest. All your resources
and all your credit are tho sacred
property of the men who have
trusted you. If you wish to help
another, give him all tho cash
you can spare. Mover endorse,
it is dishonost.

THE SF.WS OF YV ASIU.VLTOS.
Admiral; Dewey Still Havliitr Hi;
Troubles The Schley Fund Iucrr:u
Ititr Preparing for the Y-lg Ttiris
Show.
I'lotn our Be ular Correspondent.
Washington D. C.
Cousin George, has his littlo
troubles. The neighborhood of
the Dewey homo continues lo be
a much frequented section, 'in
fested by .ill sorts of people
anxious' !o tret a glimpse of the
hero and his bride. They do
everything that is annoying,
ohort of I'X'ually peeping througli
the front key-hole.
On ti no days, passorsby find
that part of Rhodo Island Av
enue moro attractive than other
st roots, and hand-organs, suc
ceeding each other, keep up a
continual serenade. People have
even boon known to camp on
tho Admiral's door slops, with
tho evident determination of
waiting, Micawber-like, until
something turned up. The ser
vants have instructions to re
quest theso parties . to move on.
Uneasy rests tho head that wears
an Admiral's hat, would seem a
fit paraphrase of tho sayino-.
The Schley homo fuuc i.-, still
lively. A committee of one bun
dred, comprising about every
body in town who wautshisnan-e
in print, has the matter in chare-, .
All sorts of schemes for r:'.is'"g
money aro. afoot, and a nr.inbc
of donations are coming in.
Tho loss of the cruiser "Char
loston" is of course tho. c.m: e E
much regret, but it is a 'urv .
gratification that no v v. ; v. .-re
lost. On Tuesday, tho Cabinet
mot and examined tho map
where tho Charlot.ton wnt down.
Everybody was exui' r.red, in
cluding the sunken r .-.' which
was tho cause of the wreck.
Tho big show in Paris next
year will be well supplied with
exhibits of Americf::! grain.
Samples of wheat, grain, and
cereals aro coming in rapidly.
Tho government has rented a
big warehouse, where, in con noc
lion with the Agricultural l.ii
partmont, samples will be as
sort"d and selected for shipment
to Paris. If you havo any prize
cucumbers or pumpkins, now is
the time to sond thom in.
The Industrial Commission is
still busy grilling 'em out. Mr.
Andrew Carnegie, a Pittsburg
gentleman, has very kindly
promised to appoar before the
commission and deliver a little
I'v.tnro on tho subject oil "Trusts
I Have Trusted." Mr. John
Wanamaker is also slated to ap
poar boforo tho tribunal shortly
and tell what ho knows about
combination stores. This will
wind up the show and tho roport
of the commission will bo made
to Congressional Trust early in
January.
This commission has piled up
a mass of testimony, but what
good will como of it, if any, has
not yot boon mado exactly
cloar.
Maybe it was only a tempest
in a tea-pot, but it was a hard
"blow" for cousin Coorgs Dewey.
The old sea dog, admit:; himself
that it was the nastiest sailing ho
over encountered. Anent the
transfer of the Dowey homo, ev
erybody had something to say,
particularly those who did not
contribute to tho original fund.
And lo tell tho truth, tho bul!c
of the comment was very uncom
plimentary to Cousin Gecrgo.
Even the mention of his otic
idolized name was received with
hisses at ono of -ho local
theaters.
Tho fact is that socio'y has had
a quarrel with Dowey for getting
married at all.' Y.'i; lijnglon
girlies expected to ha vo no .emi
of fun baitine Che' Admiral this
winter. No public hero c.iii t-ih-v
unto himself a wife without get
ting himself dislik'-'d by all th
other women. They simply
bottled up their wrath hi waiting
for a suitable excuse.
Admiral Dowoy knows now
that not only kings, but even re
publics may prove ungrateful.
There is no doubt that the' gossip
cut tho old sailor to the quick.
He scorns to bo a sensitive man,
but aside from that, the storm of
criticism was enough to pierce
the hide of a rhiuoceros.
Brother-in-law McLean got on
his ear and offered tho dissatis
fied contributors their money
back. But of course tho affair
did nut go so far as that and tho
troubled was t f ',dlf have grad
wty quloled down. It is all very
much to bo regretted. '
Admii-rl Dowey claims that it
was intended simply to transfer
the property to his son. A good
many people think tho young
i ".en is lucky to got it. You
"l;i ys your money and takes
your choice" of the two views.
Tin; fact remains that twice S3
much was spent for government
t, tamps on the transfers as was
necessary.
But then tho govornment
needs the money.
Two tlore Fever Victims.
Two more are numbored with
tho victims. of fover at tho State

Bailey, of Moxvillo, diod Thurs
