Censorship and a broken cable have reduced today the news from South Africa to a mini mum, brief official dispatches being practically he sole transmissions for many hours. A dispatch from General Buller to day, under date of Pieterinaritzburg, November 2S, announcing the latest news from Ladysmith, reported all well there on the 24th, is naturally re ceived with satisfaction, but his dis patch is tautalizingly meagre.

TWO BOUND FOR THE PEN Thirty Cases of Smallpox In' the Pes Jlonse Dae to Negro Hoboes Magniflt cent Building to Be Erected, for the Newman Sanitarium New Owners of Gold Hill Mine Begin Pumping Wa ter Out of the Shaft. Salisbury, N. C, Nov. 28. Special. Rowan Superior Court adjourned yes terday evening after having disposed of one hundred and forty-five criminal cases, four of which were capital cases. The term was only for "one -week, but the docket "was so beavy that it took two days over to dispose of it. The case of John Farrow for the killing of Ada Burnett, resulted in the conviction of the defendant. Judge Robinson sent him to to the peniten tiary for one year. There is some crit icism here at the sentence, and the ne groes, who were very bitter toward 'Farrow, insist ithat he should have been sentenced to death. In the light of the evidence, it is but fair to the judge to say that the sentence was not far from wrong. Jesse Knott killed his brother Char lie, in a dispute over the digging of some post-holes. The court sentenced him to fifteen years in the peniten tiary. Knott submitted to murder in the second degree. It is safe to say that if he had not submitted that he would have been found guilty in tlie first degree, as the . evidence disclotsed premeditation and malice. In the case of Will Edwards and lone Carr, indicted for tlie murder of policeman Kerns of Concord, the jury found both guilty 'of; murder in 'the first degree. The case was given to the jury 'Sunday morning, at half-past two o'clock, and after -being out for half an hour .they returned their ver dict. Yesterday afternoon counsel for Carr Hon. John.S?. Henderson and A II. Price, Esq., moved 'to set aside, the verdict as to Carr. This the judge did, and .very properly an.ustjy, as there was not evidence . against mm sufficient to convict. -Hon. Lee S Overman anfi Col. 3?. tB. -Means, coun sel for Edwards, made a motion for a new trial as to their client, which was over-ruled. An appeal to the Su nreme Court was taken. Edwards was sentenced to be hanged on the 20th of December. Another miserable tramp negro -has succeeded in circulating the smallpox extensively among the negroes in onr city. There are now some tbirty pa tients in the pest-house and the num ber is growing daily. This makes' the third invasion of - smallpox here this vear, and in each instance it was brought here by negro hoboes. The county and city authorities are taking every step possible to locate those .who have been near enough to the-cases to have become infected, and as soon as one is located he is bustled off. to the pest-house without match : ceremo ny. Tlie cases so far are connned to the nesroes,- but ithere is no telling at what time it will break out among-the whites, as several negroes with fully developed cases have been arrested walking through the streets and ming ling with the large crowds which are always here during court week. This disease has cost the county thousands of dollars this year, and it seems that just as soon as the authorities have succeeded in getting control over -it, some one else comes into the commu nity and starts it afresh. The owners of the Walter George Newman, Jr., Sanitarium have decided to erect a magnificent building -,for their use, at a cost of fifty thousand dollars. The new samtarhim will be erected in East Salisbury and will be thoroughly modern and up-to-date in its appointment and equipment. : At present the sanitarium is located in the residence of the late Hon. F. E. Sholar. Hon. Thomas P.- Kluttz leaves Thursday for Washington City to take his seat in Congress.

Important Ruling Relative to Its Sale as a Beverage by Druggist?. District Attorney C. M. Bernard, has an important ruling from tthe Treas ury Department to Collector E. C. Duncan conceraing malt extract sold by a druggist here. The ruling says: : , "If this malt extract is simply -a, fer-. mented malt liquor, to which no drugs nor medicinal substances have been added, Mr : is required Jo. pay special tax as dealer in malt liquor for selling it, even thongh he sell it only for medicinal use, and in bottles bearing the . requisite proprfetary stamp, and under a label holding it-out as a remedy for disease. If the manu facturers are prepared to show, by evi- jdence,: under oath, that it is a ferment- u. mail uquor compounded into a med icine lay the addition of drugs ,jther iiitruit.7ue., suDstances. Mr. should call upon them to do so. In case-it be shown to be such a medicine compound, and not simply a fermented malt, liquor, he is not required to pay special tax for selling it for medicinal use only, never selling it as a beverage, nor selling it knowingly to those who buy it for use as a beverage." The case which gave rise to this rul ing was the sale by a druggist here, of "Braunschweiger Mumme," a malt ex tract bottled by the "Long Island Bot tling Company, . Brooklyn, N. Y.," which is "sold as a medicine not as a drink or beverage" and to each bot tle of which "there is affixed a -cent stamp." - -MORTGAGEE IN POSSESSION.

He was born ill IBuncombe county in Api-iJ; -1828, and was named for Dr. Robert B. Vance, who was killed in a duel with Samuel P. Carson in 1827. .

GOLD TO BE STANDARD Representative Overstreet Makes the Bill Public Leading Provisions of the Measure Not a Complete Scheme of Finance, but a Flan to Meet the Most Pressing Demands for Legisla tion on Currency Matters. x Washington, Nov. ' 28 Representa tive Overs treet, acting for the commit tee appointed by the Republican cau cus of the last Congress to prepare a measure of financial reform to be sub mitted to Congress when it assembles, today made public the text of the bill. It is entitled "A bill to define and fix the standard of value and to maintain the" parity of all money." It provides that the standard unit of value shall be. the dollar, consisting of 25.8 grains of gold, .9 tine, and that all interest bearing obligations existing, or here after incurred, shall be payable1 in gold. Itsays that nothing contained in the act shall be construed as affect ing the present legal-tender quality of silver dollars, subsidiary coins or pa per currency. The bill provides for the establish ment of a division ; of issue and re demption in .the Treasury Department, wrhose . operations . shall be confined to the redemption and exchanging of the several kinds of money The Secretary of the Treasury is authorized to Issue and sell 3-per-cent bonds, redeemable in twenty years, or one year after issue, at option, for the maintenance of the -gold reserve. ; ',; - The secretary is also authorized to use any silver bullion in the treasury for the coinage of such subsidiary sil ver as: is. necessary .to meet public re quirements, and to redeem and re-issue all worn and uncurrent subsidiary coin, and reimburse the treasury for the difference between the face value and the amount the old coin will pro duce in new. . ,,f The Secretary of the TreasWy is em powered 'to issue or re-issue treasury notes of such-denominations as he may prescribe. Banking associations are required to transfer registered govern ment bonds to the treasury as security for circulating notes, to an amount equal to one-fourth of the capital where the capital is $150,000. or less, and $50,000 where the capital is more. Banking associations are. required to pay, in addition to the tax imposed for Avar purposes, each half-year, a tax of one-tenth of one per cent upon the value of the franchise., Section 10 of the bill amends the Revised, Statutes so as to provide that no association sball be organized wfth less than $100,000 capital except in places where the population is six thousand or less. The report accompanying the bill, also , drawn by 'Mr. Overstreet, states that the measuTe does not present a complete scheme of . 'finance, but con fines: itself to subjects of indst press ing demand, as evinced by pledges of the Republican party and the general policy of the Republican administra tion. J - ' - The report states that the committee wasof the opinion that the most urg ent subject was the question of a mon etary standard and provision for its maintenance. The strengthening of public credit by the. removal of all donbt concerning; the policy and prac tice of the government relative to the unit of value is of paramount import ance. . '. iV Such are the general conditions or trade, the report continues, as well as the condition of the national treasury, that no disturbance whatever can pos sibly be caused by the legislation pro posed. . The net gold in the. treasury on the 2d day of October, 1898, was $254,328,820. There is more gold in the United States now than ever before. Present conditions are most favorable, and the time is. most opportune for a clear and unequivocal adoption of the sold standard.: If under these circnm-1 stances, the United States shall clearly by law adopt the gold, standard, it will pass . to the new condition with less friction than was experienced by the resumption . of specie payment. The report recites the declarations of the Republican . party and President McKinley in favor of international bi metallism which," it is pointed out, has been found practically impossi Die, owing to the attitude of the leading nations, and adds: . It is sought in this bill to legalize the gold standard, by a plain and defi nite statute which .will remove the question from all doubt, and so estab lish a standard that can' be changed only by congressional ; action."
