Address all communications to THE KOANOKE BEACON, Plymouth, N. C. The 4th of July Edition of the News and Observer was covered by "Old Glory." The Kinston Free Press has sus pended for lack of patronage. The Free Press wa3 one of the best papers of the State, but the town was too small to sustain it. Hon. William Jennings Biiyan when asked for a sentiment appro priate to the 4th of July, shouted a whole volume in a -very few words : ''The political wrongs which to day oppress the multitude grow out of man's disregard for his brother. Christianity aud democracy unite in declaring that no citizen has a natu ral right to injure another citizen, and that a good government will "neither enable nor permit him to do o. This fundamental maxim can with great propriety be emphasized on the Fourth of July." WW ' When war was being agitated there were grave doubts among our people ai to thV ability of our navy and army to cope with the Spanish, .1 cisms have been made, and our American soldiers and sailors have proven equal xid superior to the Spaniards. Dewey's victory gave us hope, Shafter's charge on the enemy at Santiago, aud Sampson's wonder ful victory gives us confidence. There seems to be but one barrier in the way of the American army and navy, and that is the officials at Washington. Give Dewey, Shafter, Sampson and Lee the power to con duct the war, and war will soon end. It is not our purpose to abuse the citizens of Plymouth, yet a little abuse is needed, for on the question of education they are too slow, too selfish and too stingy. When we think that a town like Plymouth, instead of having the best high school in Eastern Carolina, has comparatively no school, it cau pes us to blush with shame, as it should every citizen who has anv pride in his town and iu the rising generation. Why is it that Plymouth has no school? It is not the fault of the town, but of the people. More than once an effort has been made to form a stock company to build an Academy, hire teachers and estab lish a good school, but sad to say every elfort has been defeated by one cause or another until those who would be glad to have a good school here have given up almost every hope. Once more the Beacon appeals to the citizens of Plymouth, in the name of the town, in thh name of justice to our little ones, to build an Academy aud establish a school that will give the children of this town at least an equal showing with the children of other towns. "I have used Chamberlain's Cough Rem edy in ray family for years and always with good ri-KUlts," says Mr. V, B, Cooper of El liio, Cal. 'For small children we find it especially effective."

Shafter, charged on the Spaniards near Santiago, driving them from their breastworks back into the city. The fighting was resumed on Saturday, which was the filrcesi yet, and resulted in the heaviest loss to both sides, the Ameri cans losing in killed and wounded about 1,000 men. The American forces were under fire, not only of the land batteries and troops, but also of the fleet which lay in the harbor. But with all this the fear less Americans forced their way into the enemy's breastworks within half a mile of the oity where they stopped. Here it was that Gen. Shafter demanded the surrender of Santiago, which at the time was refused, whereupon Gen. Shafter notified the com manding General of the Spanish forces that if they did not surrender by 10 o'clock Mouday morning he would bombard the city, and he asked that the citizens of for eign countries and all women and children be notified to leave the city by that hour. A NAVAL BATTLE. The Spanish fleet nnder command of Admiral" Cervera,' which had been bottled up in Santiago harbor for sir weeks by Sampson's fleet, made a dash for liberty Sunday morning, The fleet came out of the harbor with the determination to escape or die in the attempt, bat the American fleet did not propose to let them out of the trap, or to escape after they were out, and their appearanco on the open sea was the beginning of a naval battle that should test the navies of the two countries, and in less than two hours every ship in the Spanish fleet was either on the bottom or npon the shore. It was completely annihilated. Admiral Cervera together with 1,300 of his men were taken prisoners, while hundreds were killed or drowned on the fleet, yet the Americans lost but oue man, and not a single ship was diatroyed or even injured. The Spanish fleet consisted of seven boats all of which were demolished near the bar. bor, except the Cristobal Colon, which was chased 45 miles to the west where she sur rendered but had to be beached to prevent sinking. The Americans are taking good care of Admiral Cervera and his men and are treat ing them with all the courtesy due such a brave set. NEWS FROM ADMIRAL DEWEY. A cablegram from Admiral Dewey reports the arrival of the Charleston and the three transports the capture of Guam, Ladrone Islands, by the Charleston the surrender of the Spanish gun boat, Leyte, which had been shut off, from supplies, Bhe turned over to Dewey fifty-two officers and ninety- four men. He also reports the landing of the first expidition of soldiers on the Phil ippine Island, The latest from Santiago ia-that the land forces are resting on arms, and that the oTder to bombard the city is momentarily expected.
