standing tbe assurances that all the as
pirants (or the Democratic nomtnatlon
for Senator were willing that the sena
torial matter should be held in abeyance
until after ibeoonBtltullonal amendment
question had been settled by the people
at the polls, it appears from a letter ia a
paper in South Oarolina that the friends
of one aspirant Intend to press the mat
ter without delay. It appears that there
is to be a fight against what the writer
of the letter terms the Democratic "ma
chine."' Now, North Carolina has been
thought to be singularly free from a
Democratic machine. .. Certainly the last
campaign seemed to so prove. : For it
was the people who did the work. The
Democratic organization has not thrust
Itself forward into public affairs and es
eciallr into this senatorshlp matter. It
has done no endorsing. ; '
Manager Antler, of the Cape Fear A
Northern Railroad, when asked If- his
road would be extended to Fayetleville,
said he had made no statement as to that
effect, but declined to deny or confirm
the news.
The Southeastern Tariff Association
people deny that tne'reduotion in Are in-

they would make a business cut of $150,.
000 to meet a $15,000 business. v?-::
R. J. Reynolds, of Winston, offers to
to give $5,000 to the Stale Industrial and
Normal School there, if the Other friends
of the school will duplicate It. It Is to
establish a hospital and new training de
partment. ) ' 'J
One of the observers at the weather

The secretary of the State fair sajs
that the receipts from lire Fair will be
sufficient to pay all obligations inourre t,
payoff any old debts, pay the interest
on tbe bonds, and have a small bal.
aoee in the treasury,.; It has been long
since anything of the kind has been
done. . " -
Dr. It. H. : Lewis, Eecretsry of the
State Board of Health, says that with
the present prospects smallpox -will be
more prevalent In the State this-winter
than It was lastwlater, for that even
now it Is spreading -more rapidly than
heretofore. .The only way; to stop the
spread is for an enforcement of the vac
cination ordinances. - v - - '

Travis, of the board, says that be ex
pects out of the receipts for this year to
pay all debts contracted since the 1st of
January, but this does not mcsn to pay
back tbe $53,000 which the Legislature
spproprlsted for the penitentiary this
year.
Mr. Willie Nndford, of Scotland Neck
ran off with Mr. Lewis Barfleld's daugu

BOERS LOOSING GROUND.
Unable To Take ' Ladysmlth. Orange
, SUters Leaving. : British Troops ; i;
. Arriving.
London, Nev. 18. A peculiar feeling
waa visible today In the public mind.
The strain of receiving no news for so
long a time from the seat of war and the
certainty that the British ate on the eve
of hotter fighting combined to make peo
ple uneasy . ,j i ' , 1 ' J 1 1
This was particularly -- remarkable at
the clubs, where the news boards were
eagerly scanned and left each face disappointed.--
S. - 1 '
The total British losses," so far as at
present known, amount to 2,883." The
killed are returned at 267 and the mis
sing l.xoa. The rest are wounded.
An Important fact is mentioned by a
Dally Teleg.aph war couespondent,
which, It coafl.med, might . indicate tbe
beginning of the eoa ia Nate!. He says
that the Free Slate burghers are retain
log hone.J It has been suspected that
tbe beslectDg ai my of ' Boers must be
feeling scute'y the pressure of hunger,
The commissaty auangemenls have been
exposed to a heavy strain.' with only a
single railway connecting them with the
base, t..The Free Staters also have only
one railway to Harrlamilh, and are
afraid that General Builer may- be ad
vancinff on the Orange Republic from
tbe south. ,','"
The total reinforcements that have ar
rived In South Africa since last Friday
are 19,000 men, chiefly Infantry, nearly
13,000 horses and mules, three butteries
of field artillery and a number of quick
firing Maxim guns,
EsTcotfHT.Noy 10 The British arm
ored train proceeded out as fsr as Colen
so today and returned In the afternoon.
It found numbers of the Boors st Droo
ler's Kloef. They descended to make an
attack, but failed to reach the train.
A Kaffir has arrived here, having, left
Ladysmlth : yesterday -,. morning. The
Boers, he says, had guns posted on
Mount Bulwana, whence they were con
tlnuously bombarding Ladyimltk. Only
a few persons, he states, have been kill
e t The British guns reply to the fire
at a moderate rate. -. -.
The Boers are reported to be short of
food . They also fear a Basuto. rising,
which Is reported te be Impending, or
that General Builer may cut them off,
Some of the Free Staters are returning
home. " , 1 '
Last Tuesday auritlsh force made np
of all arms msrehed out from Ladysmlth
and proceeded toward Beater's Farm,
There the? attacked and drove back to
Dewdrou a command of Free Staters,
killing or wounding 800 of them, while
the British casualliies were but slight,
The British troops and civilians dur
Ini-the bombardment, find shelter In
bombproof trenches. 1 .- "
. Dewey is out of It.
- WismaoTON, November 15. Senator
Proctor, of Vermont, said tonight, la
Interview: k .
"It is not truetbst Ism trying
to
start a Dewey boom for the Presidency,
It was generally understood tbs( before
Dewer left Manila he wu averse
to
being drswn Into politics, and I am in
position to know that since his arrival
in this country bis antagonism has been
confirmed." ',
"Then you think tnoie Is ni possibility
of the nomination of Admiral Dewey
next year?" was asked.-:
"There is absolutely none," was the
reply- 'Ue is out of it, und I am not
trylag to run him as a candidate."
