A terrible story comes up from the
State farms.
\ story of bloody cruelty, it is; OF
fearful punishment visited upon help
less prisoners; of bare flesh, cut by tSing-
ing lashes; of stunning blows for small
offenses; of indignities heaped upon those
who cannot strike back.
The story may be true or it may not
1T was told me yesterday by young
negro, George Dixon, who is now in this
city trying to get enough money to pay
his fare to his home in Ashevlle.
George was convicted before Judge
Ewart eighteen months ago, he says, of
the larceny of an overcOat and pistol.
For this he got year and a half in
the penitentiary. Last Monday his term
was completed and he was discharged.
The rest of the story is told in Georges
own words:

FINEST HEALTH RECORD
ONLY FOURTEEN CITIZENS DIE IN RALEIGH
DURING AUGUST.
All but One Were at Expected Ages--The
City Clean and the Health Depart
ment Alert.

Judged by the official health reports,
and that is in only true rest, there is
not healthier city in the South than
in Raleigh.
The report of Health Officer Sale for
the month of August shows that there
were only 10 deaths. OF these, II were
white, and 8 were colored.
Five of these does not properly belong
to this city. -Four deaths occurred 1T
Rex Hospital, who were brought here
from other places for treatment, and one
was Il tramp who came from Johnston
county, and died of consumption soon
after his arrival.
This leaves only IA deaths that Oc-
Cured in the city proper, seven of these
were under ) years of age, and six were
over 20, leaving only one death that oc'
Cured ut an unexpected age. This very
remarkable showing, not only proves that
Raleigh is one of the healthiest cities
in the country, but it likewise proves that
it has fine health department.
The record made during the month
of August 1898, is the best that has
been made for any month during any
year since 1887, which is as far back
as the records haYe been Kept. Ana
August is always very unhealthy
month.
There has not been single death re-
sulting from typhoid fever during the
year, and the report shows that there
were only five cases reported during the
month. There may have been others,
but if so. physicians have failed to re-
port them, as required by ordinance.
There was one case of scarlet fever re-
ported.
Births We're registered as follows:
Whole number, %; whites, II; colored,
Is.
Mr.. Sale further reports the city isclean
and healthy. and says that every surface
closet in the city has been cleaned twice
during the month. every lot has been
inspected. and that there mas been re-
moved from the streets 1,700 loads
of garbage

''Then there are others on the farm
which have suffered even worse than

Gus Murchison was numerically
whipped three times in two months.
From the effects of the punishment he
received at Summerill's hands he is now
weak and wounded and can't do Il good

SURRENDER OF SANTIAGO.
The True Inwardness of Toral's Throw
ing up the Sponge.

The News and Observer has suspected
for long time that he Southern Rail
way, was in correspondence with the
Spanish authorities in Cuba, but we have
only recently obtained facts through our
agents that convince us beyond doubt
that such is the fact, and that Toral
surrendered, not to the powers of our
soldiers, but upon receipt of a dispatch
from an agent of the Southern Railway,
which was found in Il waste paper bas-
ket i'll the Spanish generals headquar
tiers after the surrender
1t is in substance as follows:
I'VE had hoped that our man Friday
in Washington would be able to play his
usual game and defeat Cooks appoint
ment for the place of brigadier general
by promising to support him, but were
disappointed. The President has APP
pointed him and ordered him to report
for duty at once to General Shafter. You
will know him on sight from the fol-
lowing description: Six feet two inches
high, horid complexion, blue eyes, long
red beard. Beware of him. he is the
very devil to fight But for him Russell
would never have mangled the Southern
as he did. He has whipped Pritchard,
and Andrews. If you don't look out he
Will whip you. My advice is that you
make the best terms possible with Shat
ter before Cook arrives for Wheeler and
Roosevelt cant hold him a light"
On receipt of the above Toral ut once
raised the white flag and the surrender
followed. IT is also reported that a
cipher dispatch to Blanco has been found
but as the key is lost it cannot be trans
lated fully. but enough has been made
out to enable us to say that it is CON
corning free pass to Spain for Blanco
and TOral.
This matter is now before the Rail
road Commission for investigation and
the public may expect some startling
developments in few days.

THE BIDS WERE TOO HIGH.

The Erection of the New School Build
ing Indefinitely Postponed
At noon Wednesday bids were opened
for the contract for the new school build
ing to be erected on the corner of Nor
gan and West streets. The committee
to open the bids were Committeeman
Thompson, Lewis and Bailey.
There were eight bids, ranging from
$500 to $1,000. This was so far in
excess of what the committee had expect
ed and the architect had calculated that
the committee decided to accept none of
the bids.
They had calculated on spending only
aOout $4,000 for both the building aud
the furniture to be put in it.
The erection of the building, it is un-
derst0od, will now be postponed until
the committee has more funds ut its com
mand.

WILD CAT INSURANCE.

Secretary of State Thompson is deter
mined to break up the unlicensed insltr-
ance business in North Carolina if posSi-
BILE to bring those violating the law in
this respect to justice. TO this end he
has furnished the sheriffs with classi-
fled list of the insurance companies Ii
censed to do business in this State and
requests them to make special effort to
arrest those violating the insurance law.
He calls attention to the fact that the
unlicensed insurance companies are not
only depriving the State of the revenue
it is entitled to under the law, but they
are also obtaining the profits of bust
ness which should go to the companies
that comply with the insurance laws.
