Two or three hundred broke and ran, pursued by the Fifth Lan ciers, who charged through and through them. It was dark by this time, but the slaughter must have been great. The Oordou Highlanders say the stunning of Dargai Ridge was mere child's play com pared with this attack. The Iloer loss must have been heavy. The best estl mates place it at over 400 killed. One of the captured Boers said lhat if he had known Kugllsh soldiers could shoot so well he would never have gone lo war. Another Boer said he knew lie was lighting for a lost cause.

BUI to Remodel ' i Courts. j Hm.kk-ii, Oct. 2;l The Supreme Court in it- decision in the case of Howell v the Mutual Reserve Fund Insurant c Company, settles a very important ques tion. The suit was brought on the ; ground that die company had maile ex- ecssive ai-sessiuenls. The court decides! that the courts of this State cannot in terfere with the internal works of a com paiiy in another State, but that when it becomes a death claim the courts here cannot only give judgment for the amount of die policy iiut for all that it i an be shown is fraudulently received i n the assessment. The decision, Insur ance Commissioner Young says, puts people on their guard against I he kind of contracts they make with foreign cor porations. The cent a-mile Fair rate was a suc cess. It is not ant ieipated that the rail roads will demur to again giving it next year. It ought lo be lu cited four dajs instead of two. The fair grounds should be south of tic city, and the present grounds ou;;bt to be sold, lu less Ihau a mile south of the Capitol I here is a line and spacious silo, very nearly level.

A committee of Congress has com pleted a draft of a bill remodeling the North Carolina courts.

Not Regarded As The Best Man For Command At Manila. Washington, Oct. 22 A very decided impression seems to prevail among cer tain of the high naval olllcials that Ad miral Watson does not possess die abil ity and is not lilted by temperament and health for the exacting duties required of so important a command as the Asia tic Station. It is certain that the Navy Department lias not the same complete confidence In the Admiral, nor does It depend upon him to exercise his own judgement and authority as in tke case of Admiral Dewey, who was supreme at Manila and in the contldem e of the Washington olllcialB. There is good reason to believe Ad mlial Watson s health is far from vigor ous, and he is holding on against the ad vice of Ills friends. His command Is one that requires an active ollicer of great strength, discretion and mental activity and a sick man Is laid to be far from fitted lo cope with the responsibilities of the command at Manila. Admiral Watson's position Is all the moro difficult Inasmuch as he wss the successor of Admiral Dewey, who never "made a mistake," or If he did the Navy Department never Leard of It. Admiral Watson's record is as good as that of any officer of his rank, but even with this be is n regarded as eminently qualified for the work now bofore him. Unless his health should thow signs of improve mcnt, he may be relieved, In which event Admiral Hemey would be his successor 'Tf you scour Ihe world you will never find a remedy equal lo One Minute Cough Cure." says Kdllor Kacklor. of the Mlcanopy, Kla., 'Hustler."
