The called meeting of the Board of County Commissioners held on Friday last was for the purpose of hearing the case of the Uoad Con tractors vs. the County. The decis ion of the Board was to allow the law to take its course, hence the case goes up to the Superior Court. The Kaleigh News and Observer has won a place in the homes of North Carolinians which it deserves. No paper ever kept its readers more thoroughly informed than did. the News and Observer durkig the cam paign of 1898 and the session of the Legislature of 1S00. From our view of the new election law, it seems that this town must hold its municipal election under the new law. li such is the case, then under that law a new registra tion is necessary. We do not un derstand that the town has the power to hold an election under the old law, as that was repealed by the Legislature. When Americans arose in their might and asked the United States to declare war against Spain, on the plea of humanity. The then object "seemed to be the freedom of Cubans from Spanish oppression nothing more.- War was declared just a year ago. Our brave Americans went forth to do or die for those sulfering Cubans, but above the banner of stars and stripes there seemed to gleam a hand-writing on the horizon, 'twas ".Remember the Maine." That seemed to be the watch word and war cry, but we won the victory and gave to the Cubans their freedom. On the very impulse of this war, which wa3 supposed to begin and end in Cuba, there came the news . across the Pacific that Dewey had fought and won the battle of Manila. There and then another condition confronted us. The object of the war declaration was to tree Cuba. The result is, we have undertaken to free the Filipinos. The result is wo must now conquer those we have freed. Had our government reflected more seriously it might have seen that a conflict with Spain was a big undertaking, 6ince the Spanish beinir a Latin race is naturally a rival race to the Anglo-Saxon, that when the Spanish race tvas in all its glory the same traits of character predomina ted then that does now. This char acteristic of that race is as plainly exemplified to-day in the colonies to which we have fallen heir as it was after the treaty of peace in 1697. The Cubans whom we saved from a terrible death, are arrayed against us. From Porto Kico the demand comes for an increase in our army. From the Philippines comes the news of great danger. On we go, lifting the yoke of bon dage from the neck of one part of this treacherous nation only to give them a chance to stab us in the dark. Thus we have followed ; first the instincts which lead us to light fur the cause of humanity. Second, (though not admitted) to avenge the Maine. .Third, the Republican theory of expansion. Let us halt in our madness, return to the first and second and declare that we are repaid for our t II rts by the possession of Cuba and Porto Bico. There is no glory to win, and no good results to achieve in a con tinued war with this savage and treacherous nation. We can lick 'em, and have done it, now quit. v Geo. B. Secord, the well known contrac tor of Towunda, N. Y., says: "I have used Chamberlain's Oouh Remedy in my fam ily lor a loim time and have found it su perior to auy otuer," For sale by all drug gists The Attorney General of Ohio has for some time been fighting the Standard Oil Company and trying to bring it within the pale of the law of that State. Whether he is making any progress or not we do not know, but he is throwing con siderable light on the monopoly that institution has, and how it is coining money out of that monop oly. Commenting upou the efforts the Attorney General is making and the allegation that he was offered a bribe -of 500,000 to stop proceed ings, the New York Journal says. "Attorney General Monnett shows from oftcial figures that the uniform cost of oil per barrel to the Standard Oil Company is twenty cents, and that in three years the raw material cost them $9,747,247. With all com petitors driven from the field this oil was sold at retail for 83S9,8S'J,900, a sum two and a half times greater than the value of all the wool, cat tle, sheep, hogs, corn and oats pro duced iu Ohio during the same period. "Before the millions of this re morseless monopoly the courts have stood powerless. Legislatures haye become corrupted and officials have grown careless. It3 officers refuse to bring their books into court, or to testify as to their contents, on the ground that they would incriminate themselves if they did. Driven to the last wall, they burn the docu ments demanded by the court, and through their attorneys defiantly g v! vt 1 Thin. r?,W. anrvmir. tfirls W to i ' z p need a fatty food to enrich js ineir uiuuu, give tuiur iu their cheeks and restore their f. health and strength.

I JUL 3 Kkjj ask: 'What are you going to do about it?' "Attorney, General Monnett has re fused a bribe of $500,000 from the oil monopolists, lit contends that there is abundant law iu Ohio 'to wipe them oif the face of the earth,' and iu his herculean task this honest and faithful servant of the people has the support of good citizens everywhere." We do not suppose that the Stand ard Oil Trust is any worse than any other Trust which has an absolute monopoly, it differs from others, perhaps, in the fact that its product costs it less, and with its immense sales, its profits are enormous. It may and does sell oil pretty cheap, but who would say that if it had not the monopoly it has, and if it had to meet the competition of some other strong company, which could command the crude oil at as low a figure as it does, that it wouldn't sell oil cheaper? It could sell at halt the price it does and yet make an enormous profit out of a material that nature supplies in abundance, the cost of drawing which from the earth is merely nominal.

Beneath a flag of flowers fair Our mortal Ensign lay, A victim of the flagrant shell That blew his life away. Howsw eet the wreath that twined bis form, The dead his praise can never know, Were honors thus in life bestowed The heart with spring of joy would flow . They wrapped him in his country's flag And brought him to the stand ; So richly tapestried the train That bore him through that land. They sang sad dirges at his graye And fired vollies o'er it, But a soldier's honors came too late Poor Bagley didn't know it. The first to shed his precious blood That Cubaus might be free, It fell upon the Winslow's deck And ran off in the sea. Absorbed by heat and born by clouds It settles in the dew, And every wave upon the shore lteflects its purple hue. His dust dissolved in laments And strewn by nature's art, Absorbed by plants and flowers and trees, Of each becomes a part. His grace is iu the golden fields, When bowed before the breeze He blooms iu vases on the stand, And sighs within the trees. We see him in the drifted snow, His crystal form is white : He lives in springs eternal bloom His manly form is night. He walks iu autumn's golden tints, 'The chemist's tyreau dye. lie's honey-dew upon the leaves 'Neath summer's verdant sky. At last upou the farther shore He maus a boat of gold, Upon a sea of sparkling wine, The nectar of the soul. And fires cannon marble white With balls as pure as snow, And drops his shells in hearts he loves That linger here below, D. M. Duggek. TO CUliE A COLD IN ONE DAY Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets.
