WITHOUT FOUNDATION.
The Report of the Battle Said to
Have Occurred Last Friday.
Jacksonville, Fla., April 24 A spe
cial to the Times-Union and Citizen
from Palm Beach, Florida, says:
It is believed here by every one that
the report of the battle off Boynton
Friday is without much foundation,
several responsible citizens from that
section were here today and said they
saw the ships going south but did not
hear the report of a single gun.
Thaonly explanation for this report
is that a number of workmen were en
gaged unloading lumber from a
wrecked brigatine on Boynton Beach,
and that a vessel made direct for the
wreck, supposedly to make an exami
nation, when the workmen became
frightened and went ashore.
The Bugler Monument.
The monument has arrived at the
Battle Ground and is being erected by
Thomas Woodroffe. It is of beautiful
Mt. Airy granite and is very singular
in shape and design; so different from
the others that it will attract universal
attention. The artistic bronze plate
has a raised figure of a bugler boy on
it, calling Lee's legions to arms with
an elegant bugle. It is very pretty
indeed: is over three feet high, and
two feet wide, is diamond shape, and
will be let in the face of the monument.
Remember the dedication will be May
6th, 1898, at the Battle Ground. All
the college young ladies will go out.
The grounds will be gay with flags
and bunting.
No Fogyism About Him 1
The citizen of Greensboro who was,
publicly, on Sunday, offering to bet
a dollar that the war with Spain would
be forgotten before there were street
cars running in this city is truly a
public spirited citizen! His influence
would go a long way toward building
up any enterprise. No trouble to be
lieve in his sincerity when he talks
about building up and advancing the
city's interest. And his faith in the
future of the city is nothing short of
marvelous!
Debate Tonight. '
The debate on the question: "Re
solved, That all negroes should sup
port the nominees of the republican
party," will take place tonight at 8
o'clock at St. Matthews church. The
debate will be an interesting and enter
taining one. Although it is given by
the colored people seats will be re
served for any white people who wish
to attend. The debators are: Affirma
tive, Windsor and Winchester; nega
tive.Page and Gilmer. Go out and hear
these debators discuss a question of
great importance to the colored race.

ONLY DEMOCRATIC VOTERS.
Why the Query in Saturday's Tele
gram Was Made.
In the Telegram today appears an
answer to our query of Saturday as
to who are entitled to vote or take part
in the primaries or ward meetings.
The query was made on the strength of
a statement by a prominent democrat
that in the Fifth ward that heretofore
any one from fifteen to ninety years
of age, irrespective of politics ,' have
been allowed to vote in the ward
meetings, and that voters from other
wards have been allowed to take part
and vote in said ward meetings.
This impressed the writer as being
an 'unwarranted abuse of the princi
ples of the party and of her organiza
tion, hence the query. Now, we have
the answer, clear and . distinct from
the chairman that only democrats and
residents of a ward are entitled to vote
therein. This is the answer we ex
pected and is the only one a true dem
ocrat could give. Let there be no
such attempted abuses of political
rights in the coming ward meetings.
If it is really what the name indi
cates a democratic primary let only
democrats vote; but open the doors
to any over twenty-one years of age,
who will publicly avow a determina
tion to henceforth vote and affiliate in
all elections with the democratic
party.

Are Important
Customers- in our estimation, when they
are sent to us on a trading1 errand, we
always remember that they are not dis
criminating buyers, and we take special
pains to see that they get what both you
and they want.
Then we always try to be prompt in
waiting on them, there is always a little
worry al home when they are sent upon
an errand and stay too long, often
though no fault of their own.
