tbe county commissioners lor the
hewing of the different road
questions. -Several different
committees presented petitions,
la some cases all of the property
holders along the proposed new
road were willing to the change,
while in some - cases persons bit
terly opposed it and will fight it
until the last.,
A petition was presented for a
public road leading from the Con
cord and Charlotte road to the
Beatry's lord road, beginning at
the Morehead farm , and crossing
Kooky river at MiflV ford, ran
r.ing through the Mill's property,

and Mr. F A Archibald, of this

land owners along the line are
working hard for it, the . two
named persons will claim dam
ages from the county if the road
is made, Messrs. H C McAllister,
"Ym. Propst and Jno. H Long,
the committee to investigate the
newly proposed j movement, made
their report as to the cost of
placing the bridge either at
Black's mill or several hundred
yarpTs farther up the riyer. At
the newly proposed place there
will bo a saving of iron bridge
work and also a saving of build

A committee appointed by the W.
U. T. U. appeared btfore the county
commissiobera Monday nd asked
for the u;e of the court house for
more than a week to be used by Dr.
Tracy, the noted temperance leos
turer. . Qiite an amount of time was
taken by the commissioners as t
whether the room should be tendered
them, but considering the fact that
the room has been refused to others
representing good causes and know
ing that the granting of this requeit
would necessitate the same compli
ance for a number of ethers, they
decided thatx they could not grant
the request. Personally they would
have gladly tendered the room, but
as this is a county building the
matter is different. -
While on this subject this res
minds us of a conversation Dr. Tracy
had while here. While h8 preferred,
on account of the seating capacity,
the Baptist church, still he says that
some will entertain the ida that this
is a denominational affair, but such
is not the case. Generally at tho
different places he uses the opera
house because it seats the" most peo
pie and far tnother reason also. He
says that he can! succeed iu getting
a number of people in an opera
hottee that will not come to any kind
of occasion in a churoh.
There is yet hopes that Concord
will hear these excellent lectures on
"Temperance. Dr. Tracy is a
fine speaker, an excellent mimic, and
is well possessed of the powers of a
comedian. His power to change the
feeling of the audience from laughter
to sorrow and vice versa is grand.
Let not the members of the W, C. T,
U. be discouraged in their efforts.

The advance continues in the
Philippines and the fighting is
, sharp at times. Gen. Otis says
in dispatches that Asuinaldo
commanded a force in person
Monday but was driven back
with considerable slaughter. The
natives have burned several
towns and it is said are concen
trating atMalolos, the headquarters !
of Agumaldo and the seat of the
native government.
The American losses were 28
killed and 212 wounded Sunday
and part of Monday. j
There seems no way to divest
the natives of the delusion that
the Americans want to kill men,
women and children as indicated
by the proclamations ihey issue.
It is expected to soon take the
last strong hold and then the
Philippine commission will issue
another proclamation which may
be listened to after they have had
a taste of the consequences of
their folly. .
Gen. Otis has"" purchased 13
gunboats from the Spaniards, all
they had in the Philipines.
