COXl'AKATIVELY A SMALL WAR.
It is a fact brought "forcibly to
view in the .News and Observer
of last Smnday that the war in
South Africa is a mere pigmy as
compared to America's great
Civil war.
. The whole sum of casualties
for the British which is of course
. f in excess of the Boers' side,
-will not compare with single
battle in the American war.
Tr.kc such engagements as
Gettysburg, where the Union
; army lost o",l5S miieo. ana 14,D1'U

or take the battle of the Wilder
Ties:? vrheiie the Federals lost
2,210 kilted and 12,037 wounded
and the Coiifederates.1,630 killed
and '120 wounded, or the iSattle
of Spottsylvania, where the
North lost 2,725 killed and 13,416
wounded and the South 1,300
Idliud and 6,700 wounded. When

battle on record. .
llr.ttles in our great war that
did not have more . oasualties
than most of those we read of
now were ranked as skirmishes.
And yet the modern imple
ments of war together with the
trained marksmanship seem to
threaten the utmost slaughter.
Had the armies in our American
struggle been so equipped for
destructiveness as modern ar
mieS are and such bold, open
field contests been persisted in,
it would seem that, practically
i speaking, annihilation must have!
closed the war in less than half
the time.
Anyhow, it seems, that the
more dangerous the implements
of war the fewer are killed, and
'that is the best part of it..
CROIttE'S SOBLE -INCENTIVE.

3oers must be admired as was

that the end must be also
a par
allel. Wo can only hope that
ultimate effects will reconcile the
vanqiiiicd to their fate. "When
Gen. Crije found himself . in
vfj.r,2 condition than he had re-
ftly held Kimberly, and wlien
pleadings of his falnily seemed,
.uL'ciont to induce him to sur-
iv.ihor tffan

sacrifice his

itxssiblhis own family,
he hJA oat. It looked at a glance
to h? brutish bravado, but now
It lij cars that it was his pur
c;:.u to entertain Lord Roberts
tiv as possible to give the
DRY
Boers opportunity to fortify
Bloemfontein where their main
army is now concentrating to
dispute Lord Roberts' early ad
vance. f
It was odd indeed to think of
an army taking refuge within
the bed ofa river whejre, safety
was only had by burrving into
tl!ebarjj:s like .rabbits, tnetm
emy's shells Crashing into sypply
and a rn munition trains and
threatening annihtfafion.
Sitch patriotic heroism (for
such we now 'presume ft to beu
must challenge the world's ad
miration.
REPORT OF CORPORATION COMMIS
SION. Thoreport of the Corporation
Commission for 1899 has been
furnished us for which courtesy
we are obliged to that honorable
body of.public officials. As we
scan its pages we get at least a
partial insight into its intricate
duties and realize more fully its
great value to the people of the
State. With an upright and ca
pable commission, holding their
thumb, so to speak, on every
railroad, steamboat, telegraph
and telephone line and every
State bank and building and loan
association in the State, the com
mon people, absorbed with their
own affairs, may rest assured
that no flagrant hardship can bo
imposed by these corporations
if even thero were a disposition
to do so.
This book has' nearly . 400
pages, is neatly gotten up and is
valuable us a reference book on
mattersalong its lino.
The Republicans and their al-
lies are continually alleging that
the Democrats promised in the,
last campaign that they would,
not pass any law to disfranchise
anybody, either white or black.
And the Democrats have not
passed any suoh law. The Leg
islature has merely submitted an
amendment to the constitution to
the people for them to adopt or
reject, as they may deem proper.
The Democratic Legislature has
merely allowed the people, both
white and black, an opportunity to
say for themselves whether or
not iliterate negroes shall con
tinue to vote in North Carolina.
And at this election illiterate
negroes, -as well as all other
voters, will be permitted to vote.
This is in striking contrast to tho
election in 1868, when Qthe con
stitution -tas adapted giving the
negroes the right to vote, be
cause at that election all the ne
groes were allowed to vote but
thousands of our best white men
were denied thirt right. Chat

triend adysed me to try Chfynbcrlain's
