their captains ran them ashore Their
crews fought with desperate bravery,
but their courage was no match for the
courage of our men, added to their
superb gunnery. The Spanish shell
went wild for the most part, but the
American gun fire was marked by
merci|ess precision. The two cruisers,
both on fire, we're beached not more
than one quarter of mile apart.
DRAMATIC FEATURES OF THE BATTLE.
The most dramatic feature OF the
battle was the contest between the tor
pedo boat destroyers and the Glouces-
ter. The latter was struck several
times and is the only American vessel
reported damaged. At first the Glou-
cester fired upon them with her D.
FOUNDERS but they ran past her and en-
gagged the battleshlps. Finding the
fire too hot, they turned and attacked
the Gloucester again until both de-
stroyers we're afire and had to be beached.
Their crews threw themselves into the
surf to save their lives. Just before
this the New York came up and assist
ed in giving the finishing blow to the
destrOyers.
There was explosion after explosion
from the beached vessels.
It was at first reported that Admiral
Cervera was dead, but this was after
wards denied.
The Spaniards, when they found
they would be permitted to live
| adapted themselves comfortably to the
situation, rolled their cigarettes anc
! began playing cards among themselves

CLARK-KILGO CONTROVERSY.

The controversy between Judge Clark
and President Kilgo, OF Trinity College,
has created quite sensation all over
the State. 1t is not confined at all to
the Methodist denomination, but all
denominations and people OF no de-
nomination are showing Interest in 1t.
When this paper went to press last
week only one instalment of the con-
troversy had appeared, and we said that
thus far Judge Clark seemed to have
the better Of the fight. Since then
Mr.. Jas. III. Southgate, president OF the
Board of Trustees OF Trinity College,
has written a letter in which he makes
statements that put Judge Clark at a
disadvantage. To this letter Judge
Clark replied, but his reply was not as
strong as his "frst speech"
Then in last Sundays papers there
was a published interview with DIR.
Kilgo, which denied fatty some OF
Judge Clark's statements. What Judge
Clark said about DR.. Kilgo residing in
Tennessee and the impression he made
there was denied. DR.. Kilgo said be
has never lived In any States but South
Carolina and North Carolina. He says
also that when the proposition was
made before the Board of Trustees In
the 1897 meeting to include the presl-
dent In the four-years term for the
faculty, be asked that it be stricken
out.
All told it is a very deplorable
controversy, and we do not think tha
it has helped either Judge Clark Or DIR
Kilgo; but after Judge Clark>s secone
letter we think the general sentlmen
of the people is in DR.. Kllgo's favor.
Such controversies are to be deplor
ed, and they are seldom productive o
good.

lott, was killed. He was North Caro-
llnian, grand and noble soldier.
Lieut.. Shipp was In Scotland Neck
some years ago and inspected the Scot
land Neck Mounted Ritlemen. He
tell bravely fighting In obedience to
his country's call.
The Charlotte Observer pays the
following tribute to the brave Lleuten-
ant:
"There could have been no finer
gentleman, nor drawer officer III the
army, for he was the purest type of
either that could be imagined. He
was man of superb physique, erect as
an arrow; a splendid head and hand
some features. No finer specimen of
man-mental, moral and physical
ever wore his country's Uniform. He
was cultured, intellectual, refined
and heightened gentleman of fine ad-
dress-nature's nobleman- Well may
the Old North State deplore the loss of
such SON."

"He was appointed by Hon. Walter
L. Steele and entered West Point IN
1880. He graduated eleventh in his
class, and was assigned to the Tenth
(negro) Cavalry at his owl, request. He
made a fine record as an officer, and On
good authority it is stated that no Off
Ger stood higher in the army than
Lieutenant Ship. When the ques-
ton of brigadiergeneral being ap-
pointed from North Carolina came up
a prominent Republican Of this State
who holds merit and country above
party, wrote strong letter to Senator
rritchard and said that If the best
man In the State, and one equal to any
in the United States was wanted, Lieut.
Ship should have the appointment

not be too careful; many people have
experienced rather disastrous re-
suits from buying cheap trash, put

brands we carry. In the Cooking

gallon cans. Very economical when
larger amount is required. The
Table Fruits have the best known
brands in the market, put up in
two and a half pound tins, and
smaller size known as the lunch
tins for campers and picnicers.
