Regarding the American scholarships. Mr. Rhodes says: "I desire to encourage and foster an appreciation of the advantages which I implicitly believe will result from a un ion of ' ths English speaking peoples throughout the world, and to encourage in the students from the ' United States ho will benefit by these scholarships, an attachment to thecountry from which they hav sprung; but, without, I hops. withdrawing them or their sympatub-s from the land of their adoptionor birth."

How Korth Csrolinisns Foaght. Congressman Warnock, of Ohio, grizzly veteran of the civil war who wore the blue, paid North Carolina a hand some tribute while speaking to the Army appropriation bill. He was discussing the great conflicts of the civil war, and in adverting to the Twenty-sixth North Carolina regiment at Gettysburg, said "That I regard as one of the most re markable Instances in all history. That regiment was 820 strong. It had 86 killed and 502 wounded, making a total of 688, or 71.7 per cent. ' That was in ths first day's battle; but the most re- roa-kable part of it is that this regiment, In the third day's fight, turned up with a little remnant of 216 men out of tbelr 820, participated in that gallant charge and came out with only 80 men left (ap plause). That I regard as the most re markable loss in all history. There was company in that regiment (Captain Tuttle's company) that went In with three officers aad 84 . men. They came out of that with only one officer and one man. Another remarkable fact about that sontest was ths greater loss of of ficers in proportion to the enlisted men." .

' - Will ba Mayor Fifth Consecutive Year An Exciting Contest. The present Incumbent, Mr. Geo. B. Webb, will.be mayor of Kins ton for an other year, having received a majority of 72 votes, the vote being Webb 868, J. T. Midyetts 293 and J. a Wagner 1. A primary was held at the court house from 10 a. m. to 9 p. m.,and all daylong and during the hours of night the polls remained open, the candidates and their respective friends worked. Never before has such a contest been waged for the nomination of mayor of Kinston, and not until half an hour before the polls were clossd was ths contest decided.

A man from the country came to town with a coon skin in one hand and in too other a rope to which was attached a brindle bound. Some of tbe town inhab itants, thinking they saw an opportu nity for some fun, approached tbe man from the country and asked if his dog had any fighting qualities, to which tha latter repl ed in the affirmative. The . to wn deputation of sports proposed that the man from ths country allow his dog; to be pitted against a bulldog owned by one in the crowd. The man from the country did not want to fight his dog; and refused at first, but when an offer of $5 was made to him for the coon skin it he would allow his doj to fight, wlththa agreement that he was to receive the coo a skin back it his dog whipped, and also keep the f 5, he accepted. , Tbe dogs were thrown in an enclosed place and at tha first pass the bulldog grabbed a hold In ths brindie's back. This caused , a loud yell from ths brindle and occasioned much laughter and merriment upon tbs part of the owner of the bulldog and his friends. ' The man from the country still bad con fidence in his dog and held his peace. Af ter a short time the brindle made a des- . perate effort and tore away from tha bulldog and with the quickness of thought fastened his teeth in tbe throat of tha bulldog. It was now the turn of the man from the country to laugh and he didn's fall to do It. The owner of the bulldog; at first felt chagrined at the apparent victory of the brindle, but this soon gave way to tear for the bulldog's life, and the owner of the bulldog asked the man front the country to pull his brindle off. .The latter said "Oh, not they haven't fought five dollars worth yet." To repeated re quests be gave the same answer until fin ally it was seen if the brindle wasn't pulled off, tbe bulldog woald be chokeJ to death, and the man from the' country was prevailed upon to tear bis dog away.
