Would It Not Be a Good Thing For rany Qreensboro People? In building a city It is essential that all good citizens be encouraged to buy, to own and improve their own homes. Isn't this trne? Yes, you will answer. Very well; but how and in what manner can they be best encour aged? We submit that what we deem the most available plan, is one that is being worked successfully In many cities and towns a home build ing association. Without entering into an argument to prove the beneficial results of the plan, let us call to your attention the work of the John B. Stetson Building and Loan Association in Philadel phia. It was incorporated in January, 1880. Since that time 18 series of stock have been issued, of which seven have matured and been paid, the sev enth having been paid off on the 9th day of June. The eighteenth series was issued in January 1898, with sub scriptions for 450 shares. There are now in existence 2,905 shares of stock, all of which are held by employees of the John B. Stetson company. The largest number of shares ever issued in any one series was 517, and of that series 215 shares were bor rowed. The present assets of the as sociation amount to $235,255.74. The undivided profits at the end of last year were almost $54,000. This association was formed with the sole object of helping the employees in owning their own homes, and to en courage them in saving money for that purpose, as well as for the benefit of their families. Since its founda tion it has been extremely successful, and has never been compelled to fore close a mortgage nor to take the prop erty because interest had not been paid on the -loans. The employees feel that it is of the greatest possible benefit to themselves. What has been done as above des cribed in Philadelphia, can be done with equal success in Greensboro,with honest effort and competent manage ment. There are numbers of good people here ready to take hold of the plan when the opportunity is offered. What will we do about it? OUR CHURCH RECORD. Notes on The Special Historical Issue Number One. As mentioned in these columns on yesterday the special historical issue of Our Church Record has been sent out. It is replete with facts and fig ures with reference to the origin of that paper and its handsome and com modious home, the M. P. Publishing House building, which is a monument to the industry of the Grace church members who conceived the idea of its erection, as well as an ornament to the city of Greensboro. This edition of Our Church Record is splendidly illustrated with pictures of the publishing house, of several different churches in the city and other parts of the state, of the interior of the editor's office, composing room, Dr. Johnson's office, Workman's furniture store, State Normal and Industrial college, Greensboro Female college, Greensboro National Bank, South Greensboro graded school, the Mc Adoo House, Odell Hardware com pany's "building, se7eral of our lum ber mills, the Keeley Institute and a number of handsome residences. Aside from church history, this srecial edition of the Record is valu able as regards the history of Greens boro. It goes back to the formation of Guilford county in 1770, and tells of the old court house out where the decisive battle of the revolution was fought and of the subsequent location of the court house at this place, which is the exact geographical center of the county. It is a valuable and interesting pub lication and the efforts of Editor Mc Culloch and Mr. J. Norman Wills in its preparation should, and no doubt will be, duly appreciated. Mr. Mc Culloch is a practical printer, as well as a good editor and to him is due the credit of the attractive and con venient arrangement of the paper, while Mr. Wills rendered valuable as sistance in the preparation of matter as well as in securing a good adver tising patronage of the paper. Both of these gentlemen have our congratulations on'the work they have done, both for their church and for the city of Greensboro. Senators Agin Annexation. By Wire to Ths Tklbgbam. Washington, June 24 Today's ses sion of the senate was taken up by the Newlands annexations resolutions, discussion on which question was re sumed immediately after the senate convened. Senator Samuel D. Mc Enery, of Louisiana; secured the floor and is now speaking against the pro position to annex the Hawaii. OH THEIR WAY TO SANTIAGO Shatter and His Men Are March ing on the City. THE SPANIARDS IN FULL RETREAT A Great Battle riomentarlly Expect edMore Transports are Offer edThe Troops loving. By Cable to Ths Telegram. On board despatch boat, off Jarra gua, Thursday night The advance portion of the American army has reached the edge of the tableland in which the harbor of Santiago lies and is now within seven miles of Morro Castle. The main body of the united troops of the Spaniards is now in full retreat toward Santiago. A surprise may be attempted by the Spanirds but no decisive engagement is now expect ed to occur for several days. Law ton's brigade, which rested last night at Demajayho was delighted to re sume the march today at noon. An American flag is now flying here. The Spaniards retired before the advance of the Americans burning blockhouses behind them. Jarragua was aban doned by the Spanish under Linares so hurriedly they had no time to burn the town. Sharp brushes occurred during the day between several de tachments. This evening the rttaain iDg troop ships attempted to land their cargo of troops but it was im possible to do so because of the heavy BLOODY BATTLE ANTICIPATED. Washington, June 24 Adjutant General Corbin is expecting to receive at any moment the news that a great battle has been fought near Santiago. It is known that fierce skirmishing between the soldiers at night has taken place but no dicisive battle has yet believed to have been fought. Reports received from Madrid say the American army has been met by the Spanish soldiers and repulsed. This report is not credited by army officials. Secretary of war. Algerr states that he expects the capture of the City of Santiago to be a bloody victory. The desperate stand that the Spaniards have taken practically makes it necessary to annihilate them before the city will surrender. READY TO BATTLE. Washington, June 24 Advices from General Sh after indicate that the army will be ready to march tomor row. All the heavy artilley has al ready been landed and the work today will be devoted to putting it in shape to be transported to Santiago. The troops are well and in the best of spir its. Severe fighting is reported to have taken place between the Cubans and Spaniards in the hills back of Baiquiri, northwest of Santiago. The Cubans are forcing the enemy back from the American landing place to ward the city of Santiago. AN OFFER OF TRANSPORTS.

It is gratifying to know that the first of the new torpedo boats is ordered named the "Worth Bagley." A tele gram from Congressman Pearson so state! Four more telegraphers are expect ed by Adjutant General to leave here tomorrow for the Philippines, these being Carlton, Mengus, Killian and Perry. Edward A. Johnson, a negro lawyer of Raleigh was today sworn in as clerk to United States District Attor ney Bernard. The salary is $600. It is the talk around camp that an other captain of the regiment is to be court-martialed and that whiskey is the trouble in his case as in that al ready mentioned. It is also said that there will quickly be two vacancies, and that two second lieutenants may, by reason of ability, be made cap tains. There are today exactly 100 Federal convicts in the penitentiary here. Many of these work in the shirt fac tory. Some work in the farm, or rather the garden. The latter is very fine. It contains 40 acres and Gardner Por ton is certainly a past master of his art. One of the closest personal friends of the governor said this morning that he was grgatly worried by the episode at the executive office and that had he reached there ten minutes earlier no such thipg would have happened. He said the governor had long had an idea that he would be attacked. It seems that he has had this notion these many years past. There seems to be no denial of the statements that he has a gun and a pistol in his office close at hand. Some one suggested today that possibly this shot gun is the one which the govern or's negro messenger was armed with the night when Caldwell and -Pearson broke into the railroad commission office some months ago, at midnight. Why in the world the governor has the idea that he will be attacked is a puzzle, but it' appears to be set in his mind. This last affair will make the matter very prominent. A suit may result from it. Lawyers of prominence are being consulted in regard to the case. Col. Olds Correspondence. To Quell Riots.

STIRRING TIMES IN MADRID The People Alarmed and a Rup ture in the Cabinet. HOBSON AND HIS MEN ARE WELL. The Cadiz Fleet Takes a Sail In the Mediterranian Adverse News From Santiago. By Cable to Thk Telsgbam. Madrid, June 24 The debate in the chamber of deputies yesterday's was' marked with great disorder and scenes of the greatest confusion prevailed. Senor Reblodo strongly advocated that peace negotiations be opened di rect with the United States and not through the powers. In his remarks he took occasion to severely criticize the various government officials and the newspapers. It is openly rumored that a rupture has occurred in the cab inet. MADRID ALARMED Madrid, June 25 The news received from Santiago alarms all Madrid. There are differences known to exist in the cabinet and a crisis is reported. DO THEY GO TO MANILA?

Chattanooga, June 24 General Grant has issued orders to the various officers of his command relative to the sham battle in which the entire divi sion will participate tomorrow. City Ownership. The campaign now going on in Dur ham and reported in these columns yesterday for city ownership of water works, gas, electric lighting, etc., has received an added impetus by the late decision of our supreme court in "Thrift vs. Elizabeth City." That decision holds that no town or city can grant to any private company the exclusive right to operate such franchises is void. From an interest ing article by Prof. Frank Parsons, of the comparative cost of electric lighting under city ownership and private ownership we extract the fol lowing cost per lamp per year. Private City Ownership. Ownership. Bangor, Me. $150 $48 Lewiston, Me. 182 50 Elgin, 111. 266 43 Fairfield, Ta. 373 . 70 Marshalltown, la. 12i 27 In the sixty cities given by Prof. Parsons, the average coat of electric lighting per .year under city owner ship was one-third what it had been under private ownership. News-Observer. Mr. P. Ketchman of Pike City, Cal., says: "During my brothers late sick ness from sciatic rheumatism, Cham berlain's Pain Balm was the only remedy that gave him any relief." Many others have testified to the prompt relief from pain which this liniment affords. For sale by C, E. Holton. Spain Wants Peace. A Madrid correspondent says a prominent conservative politician says peace is an absolute necessity and further adds: "War under the conditions we aro waging means sheer ruin. Our colo nial empire is irretrievably lost. In anticipation of disturbances, the gov ernment ought to disband and disarm the colonial army and embark it for home in installments. 4 By continuing the war the govern ment is committing a cjime against the country. We must have peace at whatever cost. It is the only means of preserving the monarchy, averting a civil war and an appalling revolution."
