London, November 10 The news frem Natal received in Loudon today, though meager points to oae conclusion. The Boers are trying to surround the town of Lady smith in such a way us not only to Invest the town and garrison completely, but also to be in a position to meet any British reinforcements sent from Durban. No fresh battles or even skirmishes have been reported, but there are unmis takable signs that the greater part of tbo Boer force is concentrating between Ladysmith and Colenso. The risk to the Boerj is great in cae of a retreat, as General White would certaioly intercept them, unless they fell back in the direc tion of Tinlwa Pass, on the Orange Free t-tatc boider. If they should take this route they must abaudon most of their guns. The bombardment of Ladysmith con tiaues. Probably the Boors have several of their new heavy gu is in place by this time, so that the British gari son may have to endure severo trials The Boer shells are said to be bursting better than hitherto. Tha lire of their big wejpoiu is becoming more effective. Estcouiit, November 8 .V Kallir run ner who yesterday brought au ullicial message from Ladysmith met a Boer command matching toward t'olenso.

The military authorities hope to open heliograph communication with Lady unllli today. EsTuuuur, November 7 The latest news from l,a lystnitli is that the British troops are holding th-:ir own easily, making daily onslaughts on the Boers with a Hying column of artillery aud cavalry. Kalllr scouts report the Boers to be not only investing Ladysmith in great numbers, but to be in force near t'olenso and to have long-range Creusort guns posted on hi Is covering tho railway line north and south of Bolenso. Tiiese guns are intended to dispute the advance of the British forces for the relief of Lady imllh.

IUlkigH, Nov. 11 Revenue Collector Duncan, the Republican chief priest In eastern North Carolina, said today when told of Senator Buller's declaration that he would stump the State against the franchise amendment, that he was "high ly delighted at Butler' attitude.'' He added that he was not at all surprised. "1 know that after the fight of 181)4 he could not desert ui. It is the same tight now that it was then. ' The debts of the penitentiary up to December 81st last amount lo $100,000, and those contracted will be f 20,000. These last claims will have to wait until the Legislature provides for their pay ment, as under the Supreme Court's de cision they can't be paid out of the bond fuud. The warrants for debts are now being allowed so as to conform to the court's decision. The State Treasurer will before the fiscal year ends be called on to pay $100,010 to the public schools. It is a di rect and unconditional appropriation. At the statement of date of October 1st there was $44,000 available in the Treasury. No doubt Father Worth will scrape around and get the money. On the 29th iust. the directors and stockholders of the various divisions o! ' the Seaboard Air Line meet lie rc to rat ify the charter granted last winter by the Legislature.

The birds are lu all that pail of t e Slate, east of the Blue Ridge and ex tending to the tior of counties bordering the sound. From Danville to Greens boro, thence as far west as Morganton and eastward to Uoldeboro there are birds In abundance. Granvillo County offers good sport and so dies Person.

Iu parts of the Slate, mainly in the High Point and Hickory sections, Northern sportsmen, to a very large eitent, pay the taxes on the lands and have all the privileges. Kast of Guilford County this is not done. The large landowners make things particular ly pleasant for sportsmen. Sportsmen from the Baltimore section will find good shooting in Randolph County It Is evident that the plaa of secur tn bunting rights by paying the comparatively trilling taxes on landt will widely extended.

AGUINALDO LEAVES. Departs Into the Wild Country of Lizon. Landing More Troops. Washington, Nov. 10 Great interest is felt at the War Department over Aguiualdo'i sudden change of base northeastward from Tarlac to Ilayom bon, about 75 miles distant. Aguinaldo, it is sail here, has left Tagalo country for a region to the north, where Tagalo is uot spoken and where the mountains are filled with Negritos and other savage tribes said to be hostile to the Tagalns. This is about the most mountainous and inaccessible part of the island. Manila, November 10 The landing of the American troops under General Wlieaton Tuesday was the most spectac ular affair of the kind s.nce General -hafiei's disembarkation at Daiquiri. Cuba. The co-operation of troops and the navy was complete. The gunboats main tained a terrific bombardment while the i roops rushed knee-deep through the surf under a heavy but badly aimed rifle fire from the Filipino trenches. The sol diers charged right and left, pouring volley after volley at the fleeing natives DAUGHTERS TAKE CHARGE. Will Erect the Monument to Jefferson Davis at Richmond. ii.moni), Va , November 10.

Thi step is a lining close of the week's gat li eriug of the fair women of Ihu South The i csululinu was adopted by a vote of till lo 13! It is proposed to erect monument to Mr. Davis which will cost about tjO.OdO. About three-fifths of this sum has been subscribed or is practically assured. It was evident from the liral that the ladies were practically unani mous in their determination to assume the task of erecting tills memorial to Mr. Davis. It, however, took two ho irs' diacuBsion to agree upon tie pol icy and details. THE COMING ISSUE. Politicians Do Not Agree on the Next Cam palgn Questions. WAKin.MiToN, Nov. l;i "Many men of many minds" exactly describes the pres ent attempts of the politicians to predict what will be the dominating issue in the Presidential campaign. No better proof of the correctness of this assertion is necessary than tin declaration of two prominent members of Ihe House Gros venor, of Ohio, and Barham, of Call foruia both Republicans. Uen. Gros venor said: "There will lie but one ireue next year, and that is the financial Issue.' and Mr. Barham said: "The money ques tion will han'ly be thought of in the next campaign. Il was brushed aside and lost sight of in l lie Slate ampaigni The people did not hear it talked from the stump. The two things all audiences were Interested in were, first, expansion and second, trusts." Other examples of contrary opinion might be given, but these will auQlce to show that the politicians differ widely, and lo recall the oft asserted fact thai the people make national Issues for the politicians to advocate. w HEN YOU ni" foi ling tired tiu Siirsnpui'illa will do you wonderful good.

With Lis meala HOLDING THEIR OWN. 1 Boers Unable to Tale Any of Besieged Towns. the Cecil Rhodes Organizes kimberly Cavalry. Heavy Firing at Lady smith Reinforcements Soon Will be on Hand. London, November 18. The Dally Telegraph has just received Ihe follow ing advices from Ktmberley, Cape Col ony, by a dispatch, rider to Hope Town, where they were received on Wednes day: November 2. During the last few days the Boers have become more venture some, and are now seizing callle close to the town. The besieged residents are '.aking things coldly, but hope that Gen eral Boiler will hurry up, for the sake of Mafekiug. Cecil Rhodes especially Is in splendid health and spirils. He is proud of the ivimberley Light Horse Cavalry, which he has provided with horses. This corps consists of young colonial?, all good shots and well used to buck shooting. The meat ration has been fixed by the authorities at half a pound a day for each inhabitant. Mutton is growing scarce. A dispatch received through Boer sources from irtareking, dated Uctober 28, alleges that Julius Well's stores were destroyed by the bombardment and that other damage was done, but the Boers admit that the town is resisting obsti nately. Olher reports declare that the bombardment with the big gun which had been specially brought from Pre toria proved a failure, as the weapon was thr iwn out of gear at every shot. London, Nov. 12 Ladysmith and Kimberly bolb furnish news of Boer attacks. Ho far as can be learned In each case the Brili-di forces held their own. There appears to have becu a stiff artilery duel at Ladysmith last Tuesday morning. Al F.st court the sound of big gnus on both tides was heard al dawn and continued briskly. It ceased about noon. Tho British guns, it is believed hare, silenced those ol the Boers. No news later than this seems to have come through concerning Liauysmun, but il is regarded as certain that the place is holding its own. General JoU bert is in all probability preparing for a fierce bombardment, followed by a gen eral assault. He knows thai his time Is Bhort that in 10 days the Boer position in Natal will have changed greatly for the worse. London, Nov. 12 The Boers, who are invading Cape Colony form I lie southern border of the Fiee SlrUc, are proceeding slowly. Aliwal North has been deserted and is probably In their hands. Betliulle, one of the point al which the railway enters the Free State, has been occupied. It is likely that before many days the increasing strength of the British in the direction of F.e Aar aud the Orange river bridge will begin to cause great un easiness among the Free Staters. By the middle of the week there should be 12,00 ) British toldiers in that quarter "I wouldn't be without DeWitl's Witch Hazel Salve for any consideration,' writes Thus. B. Rhodes, Centerlield, O. Infallible for piles, cuts, burns and skin diseases Beware of counterfeits, F. 8. Duffy. Tarlac Is Captured. Manila November D Major Bell, with an Infantry regiment and a small force of cavalry, entered Tarlac last night without opposition. McArthur look Bamban yesterday. This was supposed lo be the strongest position, except Tarlac, held by the Fill Dlnos In thai uelirhboihood. Tho brief accounts of the engagement received In dicale thai the natives fought according to their recent tactics, retreating Rafter flrlnir a few volleys. An officer of the Thlity-Bixth Infantry Is the only Amer ican reported killed. D . II. II. Iladen, Summit, Ala., say '1 think Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is a splendid medicine. I prescribe It, and my confidence in it grows with contin ued use." It digests what you eat and quickly cures dyspepsia and indigestion. F.B D.illy. Permanent Fair Proposed. Winston, N.

Settle On a Black List Ralkiuh, November 18 The Superin tendent of Public Instruction has asked j the State Treasurer whether the fUKi.OU) , appropriated to the public schools by the ' Legislature this year will be paid. The Treasurer replies that he regrets to ssy that the prospect is not good for an ear. ly payment; that disbursements during the eleven months of the fiscal year up lo October 81 si were $(7,720 more than the receipts and that unless the receipts are much greater and disbursements much smaller he doesn't think thecendi tlon of the Treasury will be such as to admit of the payment of the $100,000 before the end of next year. The Auditor when asked If the State would meet the appropriation, replied that with proper care as to collections he felt sure that all could be paid. There is a net balance in the Treasury according lo the last state ment of $44,000. Cotton is coming in somewhat more freely here, but that the farmers are holding the bulk of their crop is evi dent. Work is begun on the third tloor of the Raney Memorial Library. Secretary T. K. Bruner'has returned from his expedition to western North Carolina for-apples for the Paris Exposi tion. Next week he will give an apple show of Yancey county fruit in the mu seum, lie secured some tine specimens f round cut mica foi the museum. Mr. Elwood Voi will re-establish the shuttle-block business here. Fifteen years ago Mr. Colin Hawkins and Mr. Peter M Wilson had a large plant here, which made shuttle blocks, largely forttie Eng lish trade, bul it was burned and never rebuilt. Mr. Cox will use great quaati tles of persimmon and dogwood timber which is abundant in Ibis section. The Purnell Fortune matter has eli minated and Hiram L. Granl becomes clerk of the United Stales ialricl Court vice Fortune. The laller's friends were making an effort to have him kept iu office until after the December term ef court. But it appears that the bank ruptcy mailer precipitated the removal. Mayor Grant accepts the appalntnicnl. He is a fast friend of Senator Prilchard The other official In the government service here appear to have knwu for two or three days that he was to go in Major Grant saw Judge Purnell per sonally and accepted the lender of the place. Auditor Ayer will make things lively enough for all the sheriffs who failed to collect the prper circus tax. He knows all the points at which circuses gave perfomances. A custom of clr cuses is to "beat" the sheriffs and cheat the Stale and county out of taxes, but this will prove lo be an expensive concession so far as sheriffs are con cerned, There Is a matrimonial epidemic here The oldest inhabitant can't recall any thing quite equal to It. For the first time this district has passed the western district In ihesmount of revenue collections. In October It eiceeded the latter by $1,500 In this district the collections were $244,000, or about $100,000 more than iu September. The increase was on tobacco and cigars It appeara that the Republicans are more r leaa quietly attempting to "blacklist" ex-Congressman Settle. The corporation commission has re celved reports from all the Slate banks, As rapidly as the bank examiners' re ports are received they are carefully compared with the bank reports. COTTON MARKET.
