An Interesting Le~er From Dave R..dehsush Describing
 the Bsrie of Santiago de Cuba
 The following interesting letter was received from J. D. Raudebaugh by his uncle, J. A. Vail.
 Two miles of Santiago de Cuba.
 JULY 8, 1898.
 DEAR UNCLE: Although you have heard ere this of our engagements. l will try and drop you few lines. We are getting along very we'll. Our boys, as far as 1 know are alive. Dan Hogan and Howard Marine are very badly poisoned from vines, but are getting along nicely. We lost our captain July l, and he died bravely. must say he was too brave. We asked him to seek shelter and he answered by saying "the Spanish bullet was not moulded yet that could kill him, and in three min utes he fell dead, shot in the mouth and right through the head. The ball just cut his lower lip. He fell not twenty feet from me right in the road. while we were all along the fence under cover and firing at block house about four hundred yards in advance. He was supposed to have been shot by d Spanish sharp shooter to the left of us, as he was looking that way and fell backward. Two negroes from the 10th Reg. Cav. and shot the sharp shooter from a tree that was in the road about three hundred yards from where cap tain fell. As soon as we located him we crawled under cover to within one hundred yards or less and all three shot at once, and he fell with two holes in his left side, and of course missed him.
 We fought for two days and half or until July 3, when by noon we had taken three of their best block houses,

PENITENTIARY FARMING.
An Action That is Inexplicable to Our
Correspondent

Correspondent.
Weldon, n. c., Feb. 14.-(SpeciaD-
Mr.. Mcwborne, superintendent of the
pententiary, has, it seems, ordered the
Halifax farm camp broken and the team
and convicts transferred to the North
ampton side.
Ihis is very damaging to the State
and Il great loss in many ways. To I'M
dertake to cultivate this farm from the
Northampton side is almost impossible.
1t takes about half an hour to transfer
twenty men in the fiat at low water,
and when the river is up it can't be
done at all. At that rate
it will take almost two and
a half hours in the morning
to transfer 100 men, to say nothing of
the team, wagons, carts, &c 1t will re-
qUire the same time to transfer them
back in the evening, and then the men
will frequently have to walk two miles
to work. Often in the busy crop season
it will take $50 hands to work this farm
Then there will be no hot manure for
this farm, because it is almost out Of
the question to transfer any from the
Northampton side. Take it altogether,
the Halifax farm is Il better farm than
the Northampton farm. 1t is true that
there is Il break in the dam on the Hall
fax farm, but a freshet of any magni-
tude will break the dam ON the North
ampton farm which has nearly twice the
area subject to overflow to that of the
Halifax farm hasa large part of the up
land ON the Northampton farm is worn
out and CALLED, whereas the upland on
the Halifax farm is fine cotton land.
What can be Mr.. Mewborne's reason
for this action? 1t is understood that he
says he is acting under orders from the
Governor.

discussion, The Depart ment OF Scien-

The Union feels that there is need of
more attention being paid to this matter
by school officers and teachers. The law
provides that all pupils in all schools
shall be instructed in physiology. with
especial reference to the effects OF alcohol
and narcotics on the system. Teachers
are required to pass an exam mat ion wit h
this end iii view, and text books are in
the schools for the same purpose, but st ill
in many instances II questioned on the
work done in this line the teacher will
say that there Is only one class in school
in this study, and that comprising per-
haps less than half n dozen pupils. |
asked about oral instruction, it has not
been thought of
Then how are all the pupils to receive
this instruction? Clearly by getting the
teachers to see that they have something
to do in the schools besides ask questions
given in the textbooks. Further, there
are text books for primary grades which
would make excellent supplementary
reading in schools at small cost. Why
not try them? The streets of Fsiaise we're
