WANTS TO GO TO CONGRESS.
<'Sotho' Wilson Looking after His
Farms, But Still a Politician.

S'Sotho'' Wilson Looking after His
Farms, But Still a Politician.
"Sotho' Wilson left last week We'd
nesday for his home. He has an
nounced his candidacy for the Popu-
list nomination for Congress. "Sotho"
says Congressman Strowd promised
him at the last election to give him
his support should he ever ask for it.
But as "Uncle StrOWd" belongs to But
ler absolutely, it is not likely that the
foxy Senator will allow the Congress
man to throw his support to "Sotho." !"
The Gldeonite thinks the Republicans
will aid him to secure the nomination.
1t is believed that the object OF his
visit here yesterday was to confer with
State Chairman Holton in reference to
his candidacy and to see what kind of
support Mr.. Holton could promise
him.
Wilson remarked to a SENTINEL
man that he was devOting most OF his
time now to his two farms, though
be admitted that he was still in poll
tics and could always be found near
the corner when anything happens.
He also stated that it was difficult for
a man to get out Of politics after he
gets in.
s'Sotho'' is "agin" rur ming for any
Office that Gov. Russell has anything
to do within other words where he
has the power to remove man if he
refuses to do the Governors bid
ding.
Wilson carries large gold headed
cane. 1t was Christmas gift-by Mrs.
Wilson. "Sotho" says he hopes he
will never have to spoil his cane over
common political head.

WORK AT FORT CAsWELL.
Two Hundred Men Employed Nigh
and Day Building Fortifications.

Two Hundred Men Employed Night
and Day Building Qualifications.
The Star says that there is no doubt
that the guns at Fort Caswell would
make it exceedingly difficult, in fact
practically impossible, for a Spanish
or other hostile vessel to pass up the
river without being sunk or disabled.
The range of the guns as is generally
known is from six to eight miles and
at distance Of three miles a warship
can be as we'll destroyed as il she were
ouly quarter Of mile away.
The most intense activity prevails
around the fort. About two hundred
men are at work, one hundred during
the day and the same number at night
At the rate OF progress that is being
made now it will not be long before
the Cape Fear Will be thoroughly for
titled.
In speaking about the war prepare.
tlnns it is worth while to note that in
the opinion OF those who know, neither
Wilmington nor the beaches would
suffer from the shelling OF the enemy's
ships in the event Of hostilities. The
city would be safe on account OF it's
distance from the ocean. The beaches
would be safe because the hostile ves-
sells would not think il worth while to
eXpend their ammunition where so
little damage could be done. The am
munitiOn is very costly and only a
limited quantity can be carried, so it
Is only used when ii will tell.

TRIED TO BLOW OPEN THE SAFE
Ticket Office of the N IL w. at Trout
Vile Broken Open.

Ticket Office OF the N. N w. at Trout
Vile Broken Open.
Last week Monday night betwe. q
$50 and 8 o'clock the ticket office Of
the Norfolk and Western at Trout
vile was broken into and rifed. The
ticket case was broken open and about
5000 worth Of tickets stolen and the
express and several other cases were
also broken into. The robbers also
made an attempt to blow open the
safe, but they were evidently fright
ened away before they could accom-
plish their purpose. Detectives w.
6. and Albert Baldin, of Roanoke,
went to Troutvilie Tuesday on
freight train. taking with them one
OF their bioodhounds. They put the
dog on the trail at II O'Clock, fifteen
hours after the robbery was commit
ted, and the hound mmediately took
up the trail and followed it for over
two miles to hay stack, where all
the tickets were found, having been
hidden there by the robbers. The trail
was then followed about five hundred
yards further to where a horse and
buggy had been standing and there
the dog refused to go any further. The
officers have gotten a good description
of the horse, which the robbers are
supposed to have driven, and the Off
GERS continued their search for the
guilty parties.

HOT TIME In HAYTI.
CoIored. Citizens Meet to Consider
City observation-disclosures
Endorsed for Mayor.

The colored massmeeting at Citl-
zens Hall, last week Tuesday night,
was like the weather-somewhat
stormy.
Some say there were about 100 voters
present, but in reality there were not
more than f1fty-says the Secretary OF
the meeting
At times everybody tried to talk at
once, but very few were heard.
The meeting was called by j. r.
LATHE, who was chosen President or
Chairman. He stated that the OBJECT
of the meeting was to consider plans
for the coming municipal election and
to see who the colored voters should
support for Mayor and Aldermen
Junfus Hawkins made a big speech
on the recognition (nit) the negro was
receiving at the hands Of the white
bosses Of his party. His speech was
like the cOlored paper-a little too
warm for some folks to endorse.
James Williams was Secretary or the
meeting. He says resolution was
finally adopted endorsing z. w.
Crutchffeld for Mayor There was
some opposition to the resolution, but
the Secretary says it went through
with a ajority. Some OF the voters"
charged Chairman LATHE with not
"toting" fair, in that he did not put
the questions to the house right.
Editor Gibbons made a talk in be
half Of his paper, the TWin-City Her
aid. He said he came there to get
report Of the meeting and he proposed
to report it just as it was S-printing all
the stormy features. One VINO was
there says one fellow told the editor
that if he gave such report in the pa
per they would run him cut OF town.
Secretary Williams claims he did not
hear such a statement. Some say the
inclement weather was responsible for
the small attendance. However, it is
certain that there will be another
meeting Of the colored voters. The
Reynolds faction, are said to favor Sam
Vance for Mayor. II Mr.. Crutchfield
gets the nomination it is certain that
he will have to do some wire pulling.
Speaking Of last nights meeting
this morning Mr.. Vance stated that
the negroes would fall in line all right
when voting time comes-or words to
that effect.
Several white people attended the
meeting as spectators Jailer and
Lawyer Dee Davis was there. He says
some Of the speeches were quite warm.
Rev. Durham, who wants to be nom
mated for Alderman in his ward, was
against the resolutions offered and the
cOlOred paper in particular.

ARMY AND NAVY OFFICERS AT
CABINET MEETING.

The President Admits the Situation is
More Serious Than Ever-Spain
Asks for More Time-Not Be
Iieved it Will be Granted.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-The Presi-
dent went over the situation very
thoroughly with Senator Davis,
Chairman OF the Committee on
Foreign Relations, early this morn
ing, after which Davis hurriedly
drove away.
The last dispatch from Madrid is
thoroughly unsatisfactory. The dis
satisfaction was openly announced
during the conference this morning.
The President admits that the
situation is more serious than ever.
Spain must go much farther than is
indicated before her action will be
considered as complying with the
demands of this government.
The President is taking the leaders
OF Congress in his confidence that
congressman may be in accord with
him. He is not attempting to with
hold information from them.
SPAIN WANTS MORE TINE
Spain asks until April 18th to
reply to our note of today. Lit is
not believed the request will be
granted.
DECIDEDLY OMINOUS.
The summoning of naval officers
and army officers to the cabinet
meeting is decidedly ominous.
CABINET ADJOURN5.
Cabinet adjourned shortly before 2
O'Clock this afternoon. No state
ment has been given out yet.
SENATE ADJ URNS UNTIL MONDAY.
The Senate has agreed to adjourn
until Monday.
sPANIsB MINISTER WILL WITHDRAW.
An atUache of the Spanish legation
says the Spanish Minister will with
draw within a week.

AGREEMENT OF FOREIGN Az.
FAIRS COMMITTEE.
First for Recognition of Cuban II :.
public and Then for Intervention
With Army and Navy If Spain
Refuses Independence

WASHINGTON, April 2.-The SUBJ
committee of the Senate Committee
On Foreign Affairs, appointed to draft
a report and prepare resolutions out
lining the course Of action which this
government shall pursue in reference
TO Cuba, have come to a conclusion
and will report To the full committee
today. They Will recommend the
adoption OF resolution declaring, in
the first place, for the recognition of
the Cuban Republic, and secondly, for
the intervention OF the United States
with her army and navy for the pur-
pose of assisting the Cubans to secure
Independence in case Spain refuses to
cOncede it.
The committee will treat Blanco's
resembling order for the cOncentra-
tion OF Cuban non n-combatants as
subterfuge and will dwell upon the
past if not the present treatment Of
the unfortunates. 1t will describe
Maine disaster and will represent it
as sufficient cause for declaring war,
II this country is desirious OF making
it such. 1t will also touch upon the
injury to American interests caused
by the Cub in struggle as fuli justit1ca-
tlon for our interference.

EXCITING RUNAWAY.
Ex-Sherif Bailey and Mr.. Yokeley
Thrown from a Carriage-Child
Run Over-None Were

There was an exciting runaway on
Liberty street at 3:l5 p m. March 81.
Mr. Will Yokely, of Centerville. was
out driving two fine black horses
which were hitched to a buggy. Ex
Sheriff w. A. Bailey, of Davie county.
was in the vehicle with him While
opposite Centenary church the street
car came along and the animals took
fright and started down street at
lively gait. AT the intersection of Lib
erty and Fifth streets Mr. Bailey's
ponderous body rolled out on the
ground. He was badly frightened.
but fortunately sustained no serinus
injury. A few feet farther Mr.. Yoke
ly was thrown out and dragged sever
al yards. His hands were skinned
pretty badly. His right hip and leg
were also bruised but he is able to
travel
The horses ran on the sidewalk
opposite the Buxton Lemly block and
knocked over several boxes in front of
Bennett s. Co.'S department stores.
The year-Old daughter of James
McCollum was standing on the side-
walk in front Of her fathers stand,
next to Bennett & Co.. and she was
struck and knocked Gown by one OF
the horses. Her face, arms and body
are painfully bruised, but the attend
ing physician does not think her inju
ries are serious 1t appears that she
fell between the horses and the buggy
passed over without striking her.
The horses ran up to the courthouse
square, where they were stopped. The
buggy was slightly damaged 1t was
a miraculous escape for the parties In

MIR. j. NJ. Hester's Horses Ran Into a
Wagon-One Animal Hurt.
There was another lively runaway
last Thursday afternoon. MrJ.M Hes
ter, OF Kernersville, was coming ul
Main street in buggy when his two
horses took fright at the street car,
near the switch, at the street leading
to Fries, mill, and began running.
Mr.. Hester held on to the reins
until the animals broke loose from the
buggy. He then gave them the lines
and got out and followed them. The
horses came up street at rapid gait
and when they reached Browns ware
house they ran into the wagon OF Mr..
j. w. 4okely, a farmer, upsetting il
and throwing David Shore and John
Collins, who were sitting IN it, out in
the street. The men were slightly
bruised but their injuries are not Sc
riOus.
One animal, it is feared, is badly
hurt.

BUSINESS LAST WEEK.
The War Cloud Has Not Interfered
Yet-FaiIures

The War Cloud Has Not Interfered
Yet-FaiIures.
NEW YORK, April 2.-R. G. Dun 81
Co.'S weekly review Of trade says to-
day: In spite OF foreign conditions
since the destruction Cf the Maine,
February Is, failures in three months
are smaller than in the first quarter
OF any year since 1856; the ratio Of de-
faulted liabilities to payments through
clearing houses has been the smallest
for that quarter since 1881; the aver
age OF liabilities per failure has been
lower than ever before in any quarter.
1t is especially significant that the
failures for less than 100000 without
material decrease in number, were 20
per cent. smaller in trading.
The war cloud, which may have in
ferred, must have greatly increased
commercial disasters, does not appear
to have any such effect az yet. Rates
for money have advanced and the
per cent. which used TO be the ruling
rate In active times again prevails,
which c0mpels many spectators to
liquldate. But the imports OF gold go
far TO prevent any real anxiety.
Failures for the week have been 220
in the United States, against 260 last
year, and q in Canada, against II last
year.

HASN'T Worn Coat in 1s Years.

Mr.. j. Martin, who recently moved
to Charlotte from Union county, tells
the News an interesting story in re-
gard to some of his habits OF life. He
is now living at one OF the cotton
mills in the city, and while up town
the other day, dressed after his
fashion-in shirt sleeves without coat
or vest-stated that he had not worn
a coat nor vest in Is years. He says
he can sleep in pile of cotton seed
on winter night, without any cover
and never suffers from cold. Though
well advanced in years, he has never
had tooth ache, headache nor even a
a cold. In fact, he says, he has never
been sick day in his life. He tips
countenance and robust figure vouch
for the truth OF his statement.
