change sajs it will certainly be sighted
off the New England coast forty fight

made.
Venezuelans display base ingratitude,
The Uuited States interfered a few years
ago to protect that country from de
mands made on it by the British govern
ment, yet it is said that in all Venezuela
there is but one paper that does not side
with Spain in this war, aud that is, a
paper owned and edited by an English
man.
A rather amusing case has been decided
by Internal Revenue Commissioner Scott.
The proprietors of a well known brand
of bottled whiskey affix to the cork of
each bottle a statement in the form of a
promissory note that they will pay 1
cent to the purchaser of each bottle.
Commissioner Scott holds that this in a
true promissory note and that each one
must carry a 2-oent stamp, twice the
principal sum of the instruni"nt. A dis
appearance of this feature of tic business
is looked for under the operation of this
decision.
The little American gunboat Haul) is a
"corker" and is making it hot for Span

His blockading. The San Domingo, re
cently destroyed by the Eagle, had two
5-inch guns mounted and loaded, but
devoted all her euergies to au attempt to
escape the much smaller guns of the
Eagle.
The German newspapers are becoming
more friendly to the United States. It is
further stated that assurances have been
received that have in a large measure re
moved the grave apprehensions hereto
fore entertained that Germany would
offer obstacles to the execution of Ameri
can plans in the Philippines. Well, Uncle
Sam is willing to be friendly, but Ger
many would do well to send instructions
to their admiral at Manila to quit his
foolishness.

An Illinois Private Shot Three Times by
Private McClain of the First North Car
olina. Jacksonville, Fla., July 19. Private
Thomas G.Lake, of the second Illinois
regiment, was shot three times this afternoon,-
by Private Henry McClain, of the
first North Carolina regiment. Lake is
now in the hospital, but is not seriously
wouuded, two of the bullets entering his
right arm, and the other his right hip.
McClain is under arrest. There seems to
have been little provocation for the shoot
ing, although McClain claims that he
fired in self-defense, thinking that Lake
was about to draw a weapon, although
he had none. McClain also fired one shot
at Lake after the latter had fallen.

These are the days when the man who
does a successful business must realize the
full scope and significance of the great verb,
, "hustle." l You must hustle if you do any
business. Every man who has a dollar wants
his money's worth before he lets it go. The
" man who has bargains to offer' must let the
fact be known. ' If you have anything special
to offer advertise the fact, else the people will
never know it. As a medium for reaching .
iii-c pcopic lac iuuncy-spenaing classes
The Free Press is the paper par excellent.
It reaches the homes of the people throughout
this and adjoining counties, and is read by
everybody. . An advertisement in its columns
will prove a paying investment. Try it.
