London, May 4. 1:15 a. m. General Broadwood's cavalry brigade has reached Bloemfonteln, twenty-eight miles north of Thabanchu. General Ian Hamilton Is bivouacking at Jacob rust, fifteen miles north of Thabanchu. Genera! Tucker's division Js moving eastward from Karee Siding. The di visions of French and General Rundle are in and near Thabanchu. Thus Lord Roberts lias 50,000 men operating clear f the railway along a front of forty idles. He Is advancing Klowly, with Home uccesses, but nothing decisive. Yet at all points of cencentration the ISoers appear in force sufficient to compel the British to proceed with caution. Their wide front in a rugged country makes urning movements off-hand dillicult. The Boers, Mr. Winston Churchill :iys, have enormous herds of cattle and lloeks of sheep gathered in the southeast. These they are driving northward. Observers at headquarters in Bloem- fontein seem to think that (he Boers are preparing to evacuate Brandtoit and Ladyhiand. The Boers suiil hold ing Thabanchu district are estimated at 4000. They have uhiihik their guns u 40-pouiider. One correspondent, wir- ng from Bieemfoiitein Wednesday, at 11:55 i. in., said ti.e lio-ied to ut off the whole commando. The correspondents at Kimberley have been foi bldd- n to communicate for several days, tl.e deducti in being that a movement is uiidet way there. The Boers in Natal are i est less.

The War Ollice lias received the followii u leimrt from Lord Roberts under dale of Bluemfontein, May 2d: 'General Hamilton met with consid erable success and drove the enemy out of the strong position they had taken up at Houtnek, with comparatively small loss to us. The Boers dispersed n several diiet tio::s-. mainly to the east and north, leaving twenty-Mix prisoners in our hands, including one command ant, and sixteen other wounded men. General Hamilton is now in camp at Jacob's Bust. As the n.en needed rest after fighting seven out of the last ten days. I ordered them to halt for the day. General Broadwood's brigade of cavalry arrived upon the scene in time to afford valuable aFsistar.ce by threat ening the enemy's iear. "During the afternoon General Ian Hamilton was Joined by General Bruce Hamilton's brigade of infantry. "The enemy admit having twelve kill ed and forty wounded yesterday. Amongst the former was Lieutenant Gunther, a German officer, belonging to the Fifty-fifth Regiment, and amongst the latter was Maximoff, the Russian commander of the foreign le gion. Twenty-one out of fifty-two of the enemy's casualties occurred amongst the members of that legion. Two Frenchmen were among the killed. 'General Hamilton speaks in high terms of the good service performed by the Eighth Hussars, under Colonel Cloves, and made up into a .regiment of Lancers, which came into General Broadwood's brigade and assisted in making the Hons vacate their position. The linal stroke of the enemy's rout was given by the Gordons and two companies i ir.e JMiropsnire mianiry, who cheered loudly when they got within two hundred yards of Mie posl ' ion. "Kitchener's Horse is also spoken of in terms of praise." London. May 3. Lord Roberts' latest dispatch throws no light on the object and possibilities of the extensive oper ations in the neighborhood of Thaban chu. One military critic believes the inference is justified that Lord Rob erts' successful attack at Houtnek threatens the Boer centre and puts the Uritish in a fa vol able position to crush the Boer left, which Is still facing Gen .-ral Bundle at Thabanchu, or their right, which is somewhere between Urandford ad WInburg.. uioViei iinaeti-t-oweu reported oui dally from Alafeking. under date of April 20th, thut all ws well there.

Another account.'semi-official, of this affair says that the Wakkerstroom and Krmelo commands had a skirmish With the British near Brandfort. After a sharp fight eleven prisoners were taken nd nineteen British were left dead on the field, including Captain Llddy. The heavy bombardment by the Brit- ish has been resumed at Fourteen Streams. The correspondent of Reuter's Tele gram Agency in the Boer camp at Brandfort wires that when the British appeared ten miles east of Brandfort.

Blacknall, of Kittrell, sug gests that we have a campaign song one to be sung at conventions, speak- ngs, club meetings, etc. The idea is a good one and should be adopted. As Mr. Blacknall says: .Nothing in a patriotic Katlierintr cre ates more enthusiasm than a patriotic sonjr well sung. It brings out the good feelings, lines up the stragglers, smoothes out the wrinkles in face and faction, and makes one almost think that his oppo nent for the nomination might fill the office tolerably well. And where a more appropriate song for this particular campaign than our State song, "The Old .North Mate: Carolina! Carolina! heaven's blessings attend her! While we live we will cherish, protect ana aereuu ner; I'hougli the scoruer may sneer at and witlings deiame her. Our heaits swell with gladness whenever we name her. Hurrah! Hurrah! the Old North State forever ! Hurrah! Hurrah! the good Old North tater And certainly the Democratic party ins a prior claim to the song, for doesn't the Old North State in her distress al ways turn, and not in vain, to the Demo cratic party to cherish, protect and de fend In r; To our mind Judge (jaston's noble lines are amonr the sweetest that were ever sung, and no true son of North Carolina ever hears them with out feeling his bosom swell with patri otic pride. They oiiofht to be suno; more frequently in our schools and entertainments, at public gatherings, around the fireside m our homes. Yet this impresses us as partaking more the nature of a national anthem, a patriotic State hymn, than a cam paign song a rallying battle cry as it were. With this idea in mind and believ ing the suggestion of Mr. Blacknall a good one the Gold Leaf has pleasure n submitting as a stirring and ef fective campaign song the following lines written by a talented Henderson lady. A reading will reveal their beautv and appropriateness: CAMPAIGN SONG. (To be Sung to Air of Bonnie Blue Flag.) We are a band of sisters Who love our native land. And cull upon our brothers all 10 take a lovai stand. It was through toil and bloodshed this soil of ours was won And women true must see the right io down from sire to son. Hurrah! hurrah! for the Old Noith State, hurrah! Hurrah for the men who'll vote for the Amendment law! And now our homes are threatened By tiaitors to their race.

And while the stars above us shine We'll link their names with fame. Hurrah! hurrah! for the Old North State, hurrah! Hurrah for the men who'll vote for the Amendment law! QUESTION ANSWERED. Yes, August Flower still has the largest sale of any medicine in the civilized world. Your mothers' and grandmothers' never thought of using anything else for Indi gestion or Biliousness. Doctors were scarce, and they seldom heard of Appen dicitis, Nervous Prostration or Heart failure, etc. They used August I1 lower to clean out the system and stop fermenta tion of undigested food, regulate the ac tion of the liver, stimulate the nervous and organic action of the system, and that is all they took when feeling dull and bad with headaches aud other aches. You only need a- few doses of Green's August Flower, in liquid form, to make you satisfied there is nothing serious the matter with you. For sale by the Dorsey Drug Co. Col. Harry Skinner, who made a fight at the Populist State convention to have Bryan endorsed by nominat ing McLean and Overman, the Demo cratic electors, was asked afterward by a reporter of the News and Observer if he believed Butler sincere in his support of Bryau, aud said: "l will answer that in the language f ('. B. Aycock who. in 1113- office, said that Butler was a wonderfully smart man; that if the ant i-Democrats succeeded in carrying the legislature of North Caro lina he would succeed himself as Senator; that if Bryan was elected he would le substantially recognized; that if the State went Democratic and Brynn was defeat ed he had such union with Mark Hanna that he would lie taken care of. 1 will simply emphasize what Aycock says by adding that I don't lielieve Butler is sin cere in anything." You can't lose Mr. Butler. He is sincere in nothing excepting in look ing out for Butler. We don't believe a more selfish, unprincipled, vindic tive, malicious man a meaner man in ail respects ever lived in the State, and the only wonder is that he has succeeded in deceiving anybody so long. The Democrats who wanted to form a partnership with him two and four years ago ought to kick themselves every time they think about it. Statesville Landmark.

The Poll Tax Bugaboo and Other Scare crows set up by the Opponents of the Amendment and White Su premacyThey Want to See the Race Question Settled They Say, But They Oppose a fleasure Brought Forward for That Very Purpose. (Webster's Weekly.) The Caucasian, Senator Marion But ler's paper, says it agrees with -the Weekly in wanting the negro question settled, but does not believe the amendment proposed by the Demo cratic party will remove this disturb ing factor from politics. We will give what it says by way of comment upon the Weekly's position, in order that we may not be accused by any of our Populist readers of stating its arguments unfairly: "Webster's Weekly, in a recent edi torial, said: 'We are tired of the ne gro issue; we want it settled upon a permanent basis.1 The Caucasian cheerfully aud heartily endorses that sentiment. The opportunity to raise the cry of negro to raise race pre judice and call the attention of the people from great economic issues, has been a great stumbling block in the path of the State's progress. It has made it possible for politicians of the type of Mr. Simmons, who are without political convictions, or who, if thev have anv, are against the in terest of the masses, to forge to the front on the cry of the negro. It was politicians of this kind who repudiated the advice of Bryan ami Chairman Jones in 18'JG to unite the silver forces and make a large white man's major ity for silver and anti-monopoly. They knew that if the chance to cry negro was removed and the great economic issues that affect the welfare and pros perity of the people were brought to the front, that they would be rele gated to the rear. The choice with was between silver and negro, and they selected negro because it suited their selfish ends best. 'We agree with Webster's Weekly: we want to see this question settled and permanently settled. If the pro posed amendment would do that we would support it. Will it do it? Look at the Louisiana State campaign which cpened two weeks ago, where a similar amendment has already been adopted. What is the only campaign cry raised by the machine Democratic leaders? It is Nigger! Nigger! Nie; ger! The supporters of the amend ment in Louisiana promised the peo ple that if they would adopt this amendment that they would stop bal lot box stulling and enact an honest election law. Did they do it? No. Their last Legislature made the law worse and opened new avenues for stealing. The election law is so out rageous that a combination of Demo crats, Populists and Republicans has been formed to try to overthrow the machine and enact an honest election law. All these elements have joined in nominating for Governor Donelson Cafferey, Jr., the son of Senator Caf ferey. On the stump, each day, he is denouncing the election law and ap pealing to the people to vote for a Legislature to repeal it. Do the Democratic machine politicians at tempt to answer this argument? No. Their only answer is to cry Nigger! Nigger! Nigger! "So it appears from the experience of Louisiana that even if the present amendment were Constitutional that it would not remove the cry of negro. But in spite of the experience of Louisiana and iu spite of the many objectionable features in the amend ment, if we were not fully satisfied that section 5 is not only unconstitu tional, but that the court would knock it out, leaving the remainder to stand, thus disfranchising fifty or sixty thousand white voters of North Carolina, we would be disposed to strain a point and support it. If the last Legislature had wanted to effect ually remove the negro as a factor in politics they would have submitted an amendment to prohibit him from holding oflice, which would have been Constitutional. This they were urged lo do by prominent lawyers in their own party, but they remsed. "We are satisfied that it was the purpose of the machine leaders of the last Legislature to draft an amend ment which would result in disfran chising these illiterate white voters, and in the next issue of the Caucasian we will give some of the reasons that impel us to believe this." Our readers have in the above the worst that Butler can sav against the amendment. It will be noticed that those who have intelligence enough he has no word of criticism for the , to use it, and when all parties are conditions that made it possible for ; organized on a white basis and refuse the last campaign to be fought upon ' to put negroes in oflice.

The handful of j Democrats in the Legislature of 1895; and 189 protested against the legis- . lation that made this possible and j ; had been heeded, a campaign on the coior line wouia not Dave oeeu pos - .ible. Whv were these things allow- e.? Simply because the politicians 1 wno owed their election to negro votes could not resist the pressure. The negroes demanded a part of the spoils and the white leaders had to turn over the Eastern counties to them. Mr. Butler saw the danger in 1895 and tried to put a check upon the ne groes, but his proposed system of cumulative voting, designed to pro tect white, minorities against black majorities, was rejected. He saw the storm in 1898 and announced that the Legislature would afford protection to the Eastern counties by providing a different system of government for them, but it was too late. Now he ridicules through his paper and on the floor of the Senate the statement that there was negro domination in the Eastern counties. In an open lct te.' to the people, in the closing days of the campaign of 1898 he said that the Bryan Populists would hold the balance of power iu the Legislature and announced as their policj' in this matter: "I take the liberty of stating at this time and in this manner that these men will offer bills in the next General Assembly to provide one sys tem of county government for certain counties and another system of coun ty government in the few Eastern counties where such a system may be necessary." Why one system of county govern ment for the East and another for the West, if there was no danger of negro domination? Mr. Butlercondenins the Democratic party for not offering an amendment denying the negro the right to hold ollice. That would be constitutional, he says. Will he not kindly explain why the Fusion Legislature which had the necessary two-thirds vote to have submitted this proposition to the peo ple, did not even consider it? Did he suggest it to ibem? The Democratic party proceeds upon the theory that the greater includes the less and that if it cuts off the negro from voting, there is not much danger of his get ting elected to oflice. We know nothing about the condi tions in Louisiana, but respectfully submit that a fusion of gold Demo crats, Populists and Republicans is a delightful combination. What sort of principle is it that makes a Populist stav outside the Democratic party because there are a few gold Demo crats in the camp and leads him to join hands with gold bolters and Re publicans for oflice? But Mr. Butler admits that the con ditions in Louisiana would not justify him in opposing the amendment. He fears the Supreme Court will knock out the 5th section of our amend ment. He does not inform us who will raise the question. Will the Pop ulist party? Will the Republican par ty? If all are agreed that the illiterate white voter must be protected, that is the end of the matter. We call attention to the fact that no one has attacked the Louisiana constitution in the courts. If it is in conflict with the Federal Constitu tion, why don't the Republicans, Pop ulists and Cafferey Democrats attack it instead of wasting their energies on the election law? Is it because they know it is impregnable or is it for fear of the people? Mr. Butler is welcome to either horn of the dilem ma. If the grand-father section is constitutional in Louisiana, it is con stitutional in North Carolina. If the opponents of the Democratic party in Louisiana are restrained from monkey ing with the white man's vote bv fear of incurring his lasting hatred, will not the same rule work in North Carolina? We have not the least doubt iu the world about it. All the talk about the 5th section being knocked out is pure bluff and will not be heard of sfter the August election. The Republicans can not afford to attack the amendment after it is adopted. If it stands, it protects all their illiterate white voters as much as it does the same class of De mocrats and Populists. If the 5th section is knocked out and the rest stands, what do they gain? Not a single negro, but a heavy loss in their white strongholds Wilkes, Mitchell, Madison and other counties, where the schoolmasters have not beeu numerous. And besides they would lose several hundred negro voters who are lineal descendants of the free negroes who voted prior to 1835. 1 Self-interest alone will keep them from meddling with the amendment after it is adopted. Mr. Butler may see how the cause of reform will be advanced by keep ing 90,000 ignorant negro voters on the poll books to kill the votes of an equal number of Populists aud silver Democrats, but we can't. We think the jiegro question, so far as politics is concerned, will be set tled when the ballot is restricted to better than cure.

Mile Limit f Forlniacir Territory In East Africa The Ktate lirpnrl ment Preteala. London, May 3.-6:09 p. m. It baa been learned by a representative of the Associated Press that United States Ambassador Choate has asked Lord Salisbury for explanations as to the alleged abuse of international right in the case of the Amprican ship Sea Witch, which, according to the state ment of her commander. Captain Howe, was boarded by the British warship Wasp within the three mile limit of Portuguese territory in Kast Africa. The American ship Sea Witch left Walloroo December 3d and arrived at Delagoa Bay February 12th. She sail ed March 4th for Port Natal (Durban) and arrived there March 9th. The American Ambassador's commu nication to the Premier hardly amounts to a protest and serious complications are not likely to ensue. The case as transmitted by Secretary Hay to Lon don consists of the captain's allegation that while the Sea Witch was oft Dela goa Bay he signalled to the Wasp, which was patrolling, and the Wasp sent a boat to her. The captain of the Sea Witch complains that the visit re sembled a warlike boarding party and that his manifest was examined against his will when palpably within neutral waters. If the latter statement is true a serious offense has been com mitted by the Wasp, which will call for an ample apology from Great Brit ain. But it is pointed out that the fact that the Sea Witch signalled the Wasp before the warship noticed her, invests the case with a curious uncertainty. Apparently both Mr. Choate and Lord Salisbury are inclined to believe that there is some mistake, perhaps on both sides. The Premier has referred the matter to the Admiralty, which has no record of the occurrence, but has cabled to South Africa for the Wasp's version of the affair, and it is possible that some time may elapse before the Brit ish reply is ready. Meantime, the incident does not in terfere in the slightest with the diplo matic cordiality existing between the representatives of the two nations in terested. Washington, May 3. Inquiry at the State Department confirms the London statements as to the nature of the ac tion taken by the State Department relative to the boarding of the Sea Witch. Several weeks ago the depart ment had its first news of this affair in the shape of a report by cable from the United States consul at Delagoa Bay, Mr. Hollis, who mentioned the facts briefly. His statement was for warded to Ambassador Choate at Lon don in order that he might direct the attention of the British Government to the matter. Officials here say it haa never been claimed by the British Gov ernment that its warships had the right of search in Portuguese waters end it was felt that in this case, as in many others, the issue was only one of fact respecting the actual distance of the vessels from the Portuguese shore. If it should appear that the Sea Witch was within the three mile limit, ac cording to the State Department, then the explanation would be in order; otherwise the J.iritirh vessel was with in her rights in boarding.

Jacksonville, 111., May 3. Admiral Dewey was the truest of the Grand Army of the Republic of Illinois, which is holding its annual encampment here. The run of the t vecial train bearing the party from Chicago was marked by ;-heerirg crowds at every station along the route. At Joilet two thousand peo ple sui rounded the train and called for the Admiral until he appeared on the platform and bowed his acknowledg ments. At Dv.ight. Admiral Dewey was presented with a huge bunch of loses by a delegation of school children, the Admiral shaking their hands warm ly as tl -y pressed forward. At Pon tiae a st p of about five minutes was made, ard for the first time since leav !r.g Washirgton, Admiral Dewey made a short :-; eeeh in itsponse to wild cheering. He to'd the hundreds of school t-hilCren in the crowd how glad he was to see them. Throughout his three hou.s' visit !ur" Admiral Dewey has receivol an ovation.

The Admiral was constantly on his feet, doffing his hat in acknowledgment. Admiral Dewey requested that all formalities be dispensed with this even ing on account of the fatigue of the party, and both he and Mrs. Dewey re mained in their apartments motrt of the evening. At every station between Jackson ville and St. Louis crowds cheered. waved flags and shouted greetings. The Admiral devoted most of his attention to the youngsters and school children.

In a private letter to the Landmark one of the ablest, as well as one of the most conservative and safest leaders of the Democratic party in the State, says that our greatest danger in this campaign is over-confidence. Our friend's letter was not written for ftublication. bat inasmuch as we be ieve that this danger threatens we take the liberty of calling attention to it. He believes that we will carry the State, as we all do, but he says what is apparent to all conservative and thinking Democrats that it can be done only by the most persistent and united effort; and that in this ef fort there must be much personal work, for there are many who cannot be reached either by literature or pub lic speaking. Continuing, our friend says that one of the prime causes of our defeat in '94, when we first lo6t the State, j was this same over-confidence. This is true, and we here in Iredell are fully prepared to testify to its truth as to our own county. Those of us who are familiar with the campaign in the county that year know and well remember that we need not have lost the county if we could only have convinced our own forces that we were in danger. The great mass of them could not see the danger and we lost, and this was doubtless the case in many other counties. We are no alarmist but we desire to warn the Democrats at the outset against over-confidence and under rating the enemy. Statements that we will carry the State for the amend ment and the State ticket by 50,000, more or less, are quite common, and there is an air of supreme confidence in our success pervading the Demo cratic hosts that is quite encouraging. But we should remember the Scrip tures which sailh: "Let not him boast that puttcth on his armor like him that taketh it off." We verilv believe and we sav it not for publi cation merely, but we sincerely be- leve it that the amendment and our State ticket will win. But this con fidence includes work without ccas- ng on the part of Democrats and all friends of good government from now until the day of election. Without that we cannot win. Statesville Landmark.

There is no abler Democrat that the handsome young Texan Con gressman, and his election is gratify ing to loyal Democrats everywhere. This writer saw Bailey sworn in as a member of his hrst Congress in Decem ber, 1891. and he thought then that he was the handsomest man he had ever seen, and be has not changed hii mind since. There was a strength and nobility about the young face which instantly proclaimed its owner one of the great of earth. His career in Con gress has justified the promise of his extraordinary personal appearance. After ten years service in the House be will enter the Senate at the age o less than 38 years, and a long and brilliant career doubtless awaits him there. Statesville Mascot.
