TO MOVE TO BULL RUN.
Camp Alger Is to Be Deserted at
once-The New Camp Is Only
About Twenty Miles Away.

Special from a STAFF Correspondent.
Camp Alger, Dunn Loring, Va. Aug
2.-Reason has asserted itself and COM
mon sense at last prevails. The whole
Second corps is to be moved from its
present site to the Bull Run region 20
miles to the southwest, the inability to
secure sufficient supply of water is
given as the reason for abandoning the
present location.
The troops will march the whole dis
tance. The Second division will move
tomorrow. The First division Thurs
day and the unattached commands the
next day. Each division commander
is to select his own camping ground
and they in turn are to allow the
brigade commanders the widest lati-
tude in locating their commands. There
is to be no attempt at regulation for
nation.
Each brigade will get a suitable
camp ground If it has to pitch Its tents
tin miles from the rest of the COM
maid. General Butler will send men
out tomorrow to locate sites for the
First division at or near Manassas
junction. The Bull Run and a number
of other large running streams are in
that immediate neighborhood, and it
is on the banks of one of those the
Thirteenth will doubtless spend the re-
mainder of its Pennsylvania Volunteer
infantry existence.
The men this afternoon were forbid
den by their sergeants to drink from
the water barrels as the well from
which Its main supply was secured
gave out and it was thought to hus-
band what little water there was on
hand for cooking supper and breakfast.

SALE OF BONITA STOCK.
Attorney Herman osthaus Bought
in for the Stock.

III ioi tlC otoSh.
The sale of the capital stock of the
Bonita Glass Pipe and Conduit COM
pany was held yesterday afternoon in
the office of Sheriff Pryor and was con-
Quoted by the sheriff personally. At
torney Herman Osthaus bought it in
for costs. Ex-Judge Knapp was pres
ent in the interest of 1850 shares held
by the estate of the late DR.. Is. II.
Throop, and it was agreed by the par
ties that this block of stock would be
exempted from the sale. The sale was
held pursuant to an execution entered
by W. @. Doud and F.. +. Miller OF
this city, and the purpose of it was to
secure for one man control of the af-
fairs of the concern.
Since the company was chartered and
preparations were made to begin the
manufacture of glass pipe. nothing has
been done of any consequence, and the
generality of the stockholders believe
that II the company was properly man
aged this would not he the case. Not
long ago some Philadelphia men inter
ested suggested that they be permitted
to name one of their men as manager
and that a sale of the stock on exc
cution be made to give them a major
ity interest They promised il this
were done that the plant would be put
on a paying basis.
Bonita stock for a long time could be
had for song, so that those who
owned any of it were glad to welcome
any proposition that would even re-
store to them a portion of the money
they paid in

"WHITE FEATHERS"

The News and Observer refers to
those of the State Guard who prefer to
stay at home as "white feathers"
Whether this epithet is meant as of
questionable compliment, we cannot
say but we see no wisdom in making
sings at honest, bome-lov1ng men be-
cause they are not fired with the war
spirit as soon as there is target practice
at Fort Monroe or Moro Castle.
OF all the gushing letters that Gov.
Russell has received, how many have
asked that they might be accepted as
prlvates for the simple sweet sake Of
bidding farewell to loving wife and
doting children to famish, fight and die
for the glory of "the flag" under the
burning sun OF Cuba?
How many qulll-drivers who have SC
voluminously written for the glory OF
"the flag," have signlfied consent to go
out and be privates In the trenches?
How many eloquent Congressman
have offered service in any capacity?
The COMMONWEALTH believes in go
ing slow and talking rather slow in such
grave matters as war.
The commonwealth. (Scotland Neck, N.C.) 1896-1929, 1898-04-28
VA SWIFT PREMATURE?

-Four Spanish merchant ships, Buena
Ventura, Pedro and Mathilde, and Mig
ual Jover, have been captured by the
American fleet near Cuba, and the trans
Atlantic steamer Catalina. Wasn't 1t
premature for the American fleet to be
towing in Spanish vessels as prizes be-
fore there was any declaration of war?
Captain General Blanco, after the
American fleet had captured Spanish
vessels, could have retained the Ward
line steamer Saratoga, which was then
in HAVANA harbor. He was asked to
detain her, but he said that neither
the Saratoga nor any American vessel
which might come later;;should be inter-
fered with until further notice, notwith-
standing the fact that the American
fleet had seized Spanish vessels and was
arrayed in hostile attitude near Ha-
yanna." And the vessel left Havan-
ma with her two hundred passen-
gers Friday evening.
The commonwealth. (Scotland Neck, N.C.) 1896-1929, 1898-04-28
WHERE'S THE VAR?

General Fitz Lee said few days ago
that he did not believe the Spanish
fleet would come west of the Cape de
Verde Islands. Why, certainly.
And, pray, how can Spain make war
at Cuba with her fleet SO far away?
THE COMMONWEALTH does not yet
see any good reason why we should ex-
pect real war with Spain. To be sure,
we have to report some small captures
by the American fleet, and this is to
make show of blockade at Havana.
And the prizes(?) captured were of no
more importance in fact than fishing
smacks, and bear no relation whatever
to real warfare.
If, however, Cuba were midway be-
tween Key West and Spain we should
hardly regard the matter as we do but
with all the disadvantage of distance
and want OF facilities for coal and 9th
er supplies against Spain, sonnet hing
else must turn up before THE Com
MoNwEALTH accepts the situation as
real war.
In last weeks issue we promised to
give something definite this week. AS
nearly as we can give it, it is about
this:
The President has issued proclama-
ton, which we print elsewhere has
signed and sent the ultimatum, which
we also print; Congress has passed res
olutions declaring state of war dip.
lomatic relations between the United
States and Spain have ceased; the
American feet has blockaded Havana
a call has been made for troops; and
this is about all.
"Well," some one says, sis not this
enough to call war;"
Candidly, if the thing should pass of
about as matters now stand. could you
call it war? The COMMONWEALTH is
still reassuring In its opinion that We
are in no danger of real war.

TALENTED CAROLINIANS

"The Rome Georgian" printed at
Rome, Georgia, is before us. It is an
attractive journal and filled with most
interesting matter. It is edited by
Mrs. Beulah S. Moseley, and the work
is done with ability and skill. The
number before us consists of 80 pages
and shows much work and energy. It
is especially interesting as it. shows a
handsome cut of Shorter College oil
which Prof. and Mrs. T. J. Summons
will have charge after September LIST.
Prof. Simmons is the son of the late
Prof. w. G. Simmons of Wake Forest
College, and Mrs. Simmons was Miss
Leslie Southgate, of Durham, whose
reputation as a most accomplished vo-
calist and teacher has been we'll known
for several years.

BOSSES DO THE VOTING.

The following from the Dunn Union
is about as correct statement concern
Ing the vote Of the colored man as we
have seen. And nowhere IS it so ap-
plicable as in Eastern Carolina. Our
contemporary says:
"The negro left to himself would not
vote for the Republican party as he does
but he cannot withstand the lash of
the white Republicans who drive him
up to the polls, like sheep dumb before
the slaughterer, and vote for him. He
knows not what he Is voting for only
