THE HEADLIGHT. ITliUSIIF.l) EVERY THURSDAY. siT.scinrnoN ei.: I'fii year. A. KOSCOWEIf, Editor and Proprietor. (!i.i.s..ko, X. C., May 18, ISM. NEW NEGOTIATIONS REPORTED. A Filipino otlicer has entered the American linos in General Lawton's front and ne to Manila to consult with the American commission in reference, it is supposed, to a t real v of peace. The Filipino Con gress was recently in session, ac cording to reports, and this envoy is perhaps the bearer of proposi tions from that body. Such is the hope of the Americans, who relate various facts tending to prove that the natives are tired of the war and anxious for peace. Mention is made of various Filipinocommand ers who would surrender if assured of pardon. (ieneral Auinaldo himself is quoted as confessing that his funds are running low and that his soldiers are about worn out. lie is even alleged to be consulting his subordinates as to submission to the Americans. Fighting nevertheless still goes on in a small way at various points of the lines held by the American posts in the Island of Luzon. San Udefonso has just been taken after a brisk action, in which two Ameri cans were wounded. South of Pasig a Filipino force is maintained and we hear of a force of l'.Oim.) insur gents" in Cavite Province. Much the larger part of the Island of Luzon, in fact, is still held by the armed natives, our military con quests having covered a compara tively small area near Manila and along the railroad running thence northward to Dagupan. Lieuten ant (iilmore and his fellow-prisoners are still held by the Filipinos in contincmcnt near lUacnabato. The surrender of these prisoners would be a welcome sign of the reality of the Filipino desire for peace on our terms. It may be conjectured that the new envoy, like his predeces sors, is merely trying to arrest our forward movement and gain time. I'OMIMi EXPOSITIONS. We are going briskly into the exposition business. Omaha, Neb., on .Inly 1, l will open the gates of ''the ( ireater American Imposi tion" for a four months' show, il lustrating the people's manners, customs, products and capabilities of the insular countries acquired by the United States through the late war with Spain. The managers of the exposition say that the mate rial is already in hand to insure success, and applicants for space are already receiving short allow ances. On September 14, lSOO, an Ex position will begin at Philadelphia under the auspices of the Phila delphia Commercial Museum and Franklin Instate and continue till November ;. The grounds, build ings and exhibits will be extensive and special etFort will be made to impress foreigners, with a view to a larger export trade. During the summer of 1WI the Pan-American Exposition will be gin at Ilull'alo, on "the Niagara Frontier," and will aim to repre sent Canada, along with the United States and the Latin countries south of us. A large amount of money has been obtained for the "Pan American" Exposition, locally as well as from the Federal treasury, so that it is likely to be worthy of its name. People like to visit Canada in the summer time, and PmfTalo can be taken in convenient ly by tourists. Such of our citi zens as cannot visit the Paris Ex position in I'.too may console them selves by a visit to Buffalo. TiiKRF. seems to be no end of wrangling and jangling in Cuba over the dole of 7." per man with w hich the Federal Government has sought to purchase the disarma ment of the native Cuban forces. At the last moment it has been con cluded by the Cuban generals that it would never do for the troops to give up their arms, but that the weapons must be retained as tro phies of victory. If this conclu sion should be ratified by the Cu ban army there would be an end of the entire scheme of pretended bounty to the native troops. The Federal authorities want those li lies in order to provide effectively against the contingency of their employment against the American garrisons in the island. Thk proposition to hold a reun ion of the veterans of the North and South at St. Louis or some other convenient city is worthy of favorable consideration. A great fraternal gathering of the old sol diers of the Blue and the Gray would be a fitting sequel to the de monstrations of sincere patriotism and loyality which have prevailed throughout all sections of the coun try since the beginingof the trouble with Spain. Last Week In Trade Circles. Special CorrC,poudcncc. New York, May 15, 1899. Trade conditions during the past week have undergone little change. Industrial activity has continued without abatement, and while there has been less new buying in some de partments, the falling oil' in most cases has been due either to the pre vious anticipation of requirements or to the overcrowded condition of the works. The distributing trades, with few exceptions, have been active and the volume of general business as dis closed by payments through banks, by railroad earnings and by indus trial statistics is greatly in excess of that of the corresponding period is any former year. The Federal crop report for May showed a back ward state of agriculture up to the close of April; but vegetation has made marked progress since the date of the returns to the Department of Agriculture, and the general crop outlook is much more encouraging than it was a week ago. Merchan dise imports continue to reflect the effect of the widespread business bet terment, and in two weeks at New York alone have shown an increase over those of the corresponding pe riod last year of r,407,000; but ex ports keep up remarkably well, and in the same two weeks have shown a comparative increase of over $2,000, 000. Business failures during the past week, according to 11. G. Dun & Co., numbered 103 in the United States and 20 in Canada, against 24f in this country and 24 in Canada during the corresponding week last year. Cotton prices have risen 1-10 of a cent per pound, owing to advices of a more active trade and hardening values in English markets. The re cent sale of 1,230,000 pieces of print cloths at Fall River under a guaran tee that prices would be maintained until October 1 had a favorable in fluence on the market for raw cotton as well as on that for manufactured goods. The movement of cotton to the ports has been comparatively liberal, and exports have been mod crate. The Government crop re port indicates a decrease in cotton acreage, but is merely preliminary, as planting has not been completed. The cotton goods trade has develop ed no decided activity; but the out put of the mills has been fully ab sorbed by deliveries on contracts and new purchases, and prices have continued strong. Advances of 1-1G to 1 of a cent per yard have been made on many makes of staple goods. There has been a good export de mand for brown goods and drills, but the sold-up condition of supplies has restricted new business. Export ers have made further purchases of Australian wools in bond and of American territory wools, and there has been considerable speculative activity in the latter, the effect of which has been to lift the scoured cost about 2 cents per pound from the recent lowest point. Prices of wheat have receded 1 to 11 cents per bushel, as a result of improved crop conditions and a com paratively light foreign demand. Although the Government crop re port showed a decrease of about 4, 000,000 acres from the area sown last fall, the acreage under cultiva tion still slightly exceeds that from which the 1893 crop was harvested; and experts calculate that the con dition figures applied to the pres ent area suggest a probable yield of about 320,000,000 bushels. This would be a loss of 00,000,000 bushels from the production of last year; but if the spring wheat crop should prove to be as large as it was then (293,000,000 bushels) the supply of wheat, counting a considerably increased reserve to be carried over from the present crop, would be abundant for all requirements likely to be presented. Crop conditions since the Government data were com piled have been much more favorable than they had been previously, and the plant has made good progress. The situation has given a bearish impulse to speculation, which has been further encouraged by reports of a favorable crop outlook in Europe and by larger offerings of wheat from Russia as well as continued liberal shipments from Argentina. The interior movement of both wheat and corn has been moderate, owing in large part to the active progress of spring work on the farms. Prices of corn have risen 3 to I of a ceut per bushel, owing to the limited movement and also to a good demand for export. There has been a con tinued fair foreign demand for oats. Chicago prices of hog products, for no apparent reason except that spec ulators have raided the markets, have declined 30 cents per barrel on pork and 121 cents per 100 pounds on lard. Receipts of hogs at Western packing centres have been moderate, and for the spring season to date show a comparative decrease of 200, 000 head.

He had reached an advanced age, and had spent a life of great usefulness to his county, having been a repre sentative in the General Assembly of North Carolina for .several terms and held other positions of public trust. For some time preceding his death he had been afflicted with a most rare and remarkable disease. Seat ing himself one day in a chair at his residence, he adjusted his glasses and prepared to read a newspaper. His momory was fair, he was is pos session of all his faculties, and ap parently in the best of health. Open ing the paper, some of the family were attracted by an ejaculation from him, when it was discovered that he was totally unable to read a line. He not only could not read, but the letters were strange charac ters to his eyes. His sight was good as usual, and his family were moved to send for a doctor. The physician diagnosed the trouble as aphasia, or the obliteration from the mind of the faculty pertaining to letters. Mr. Hill never recovered the lost art to the day of his death. A Georgia Tough (Jets His Deserts. Odum, Ga., May 14. Last night at Reddish's near here, a young white man named G us Copeland, went to the house of Kid Alex, colored, and tried to decoy Alex's wife from the house. She refused to go. Copeland became angry and cursed her. Alex came out and politely requested Copeland to leave. Copeland pulled a pistol and fired two shots at the negro. Alex returned the fire with three shots each of which struck Copeland in the breast. Alex was unhurt. Copeland succeeded in getting to his buggy. Four miles from the scene of the shooting he fell out of the bug. gy dead. Alex, the negro, has fled, but he could safely return, as pub lic sentiment overwhelmingly sus tains him. The coroner's jury, which will sit to morrow, will unquestion ably pronounce the homicide justifi able. Four Men Killed. Okoi.oxa, Miss., May 13. As a result of a dispute here to night four men, among the most prominent citi zens of the town, are dead. Details are confusing. Dr. Win. Murphy became involved in a dispute with Charles D. Clarke over a bill which Dr. Murphy claimed Clarke owed him. The dispute became heated and a tight was precipitated. Clarke drew a knife, and slashed Dr. Mur phy, severing the jugular vein. Howard Murphy, son of the physi cian, rushed to the scene of the killing and shot Clarke to death. Walter Clarke, brother of Charles D. Clarke, and Howard Murphy then began a duel to settle the matter. Pistols were used. The men fought viciously, the end being that both were killed. An Epidemic of Whooping; Coueh. Last winter during an epidemic of whooping cough my children contracted the disease, having severe coughing spells. We had used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy very successfully for croup and naturally turned to it at that time and found it relieved the cough and effected a complete cure. John E.

MILES MEDICAL CO., Elkhart, Iud, ..Health Odd Items of State Sews. Miss Norma Hon ui well, of Hickory, has located in Raleigh and opened an architect's office. She is said to be the only lady architect in the State and is quite a competent one. Nim Roberts, an aged man of Yancey county, drank a half gallon of whiskey last Thursday night and died from the effects. It is said that he went to sleep as soon as he drank the whiskey and could not be awak ened. He had been a heavy drinker for 3'ears. The home of Mrs. Mary McDade, at Burton's Creek, Wake county, was destroyed by fire a few days ago. Mrs. McDade is 83 years of age. She locked herself in one of the rooms and would have been burned to death but for rescue by a neighbor, who broke open the door. The News and Observer says a farmer in a county adjoining Wake seut Thursday for deposit in the Commercial and Farmers' Bank in Raleigh over $300 in gold. He had been hoarding it for over thirty years, and he had bought some of the gold many years ago when gold was at. a premium. Claude, the young hopeful of Mr. Rufus Tendergrass, of Durham, was playing squirrel in a tree top when he came very near furnishing a sub ject for a funeral. While jumping from one limb to another he missed his footing and fell to the ground. In the fall he broke his shoulder blade and collar bone. The last Legislature reduced the salary of the keeper of the capitol from S30 to G00. And now the strange situation is presented of this ollieer having at his disposal oflices paying more mone' than he himself gets. For instance, the janitor of the Supreme court building receives $12.88 a week, or $001. GS a year; while the janitor of the capitol gets $12.50 a week, or $023 a year. The Clinton Democrat says : Among the cases tried last week in the Superior court here was that of Mrs. Martin Lee against her hus band for divorce. A divorce was granted, and as soon as the verdict of the jury was returned and Mrs. Lee realized that she was separated from her husband, she went to the office of Justice 11. B. Giddens where she was married to Mr. Bennett Brewer. lhe ureenvine Kenector says a colored woman living near Blount's Creek, Beaufort county, one day last week started across the creek and seeing the water was alive with herrings decided she would try and catch some of them. She took off her underskirt, tied it together at the top with a draw string and took a piece of grape vine and made a hoop in the bottom of the skirt and waded in to try her hand with this improvised net. She succeeded in catching 300 of the fish. The Lincoln Journal says: A Tennessee lawyer was here this week trying to unravel a matrimo nial tangle. It seems that a negro, known as Lawing Hoover, was killed on a railroad in that State in Jan uary last, and two women claiming to be widows of the man have begun suits against the road for damages. The result of the investigation shows that Hoover was married in this county some years ago under the name of 'Lonzo Hoover. Later, un der the name of Lawing Hooves he took unto himself another wife in Rowan county. iocs, Beware !

BY GOVERNMENT EXPERT Paine's Celery Compound the Only Spring Remedy Endorsed. "I heartily recommend it, and am glad to give it my highest endorse ment." So writes Miss M. A. Armstrong, the government microscopist, after making a painstaking examination of Paine's celery compound, the one remedy that has withstood every conceivable test since it was first discovered ly Dartmouth's great physician-professor and its formula submitted to the scrutiny of the ablest practitioners in the world. Thousands of letters have been re ceived by the proprietors of the rem- edy from men and women in every community, all telling one experience the immediate relief and perfect cure effected by this remedy. The best physicians openly endorse and recommend it, authorizing the public use of their statements that Paine's celery compound, in case after case, cures rheumatism and J. W. ISLEK. J. W.

Paine's celery compound, upon which so much praise has been be stowed, is within the reach of the humblest family in the land.
