THE FEARFUL IMPACT OF A MAUsER BULLET.
hind the other, would all be pierced by
a single bullet fired by soldier at 2, 900
yards.
But all these theories have been rude
ly shattered by actual experiences in
the field and observations in the army
hospitals. The modern bullet still re-
mains decidedly farreaching and par
ticularly active missile, but its wicked
ness seems to have been overestimated.
1t was supposed that the small steel
or brass jacketed Mauser bullet, sent on
its errand by charge Of high explosive,
would speed merrily through the SOL
dier in it's path and go ON to the find
other victims without so much as Sec
ond's delay.
But the Mauser bullet has done moth
ing of the kind. 1t has, however, done
other surprising things. For instance,
you would hardly think that bit of
lead and steel about the size Of two
inch section of a lead pencil could
strike $50 pound soldier with force
enough to knock him end over end for a
distance of a dozen feet, yet at San
Juan hill and other places around San
tiago where Mauser bullets were quite
prevalent in the air at times they were
observed to do exactly that on numerous
occasions.
We must also revise our theories as
to the amount and character Of damage
which Mauser bullet inf1icts. This
cannot be done hastily or by layman,
for the manifestations of the mischief
which these bullets are capable of have
been varied. Sometimes they killed, but
oftener they merely wounded. At any
rate, they have not proved half so terri.
BILE or deadly as we expected them to be-
Some of the wounded who have been
brought back to the United States were
almost shot to pieces. There are SOL
diers who have been hit by as many as
eight Mauser bullets According to all
surgical traditions, these men ought to
be dead, but they are not.
In speaking Of those brought to New
York ON the Olivette, Assistant Surgeon
Brown said: 1.-THE worst wound to be
found upon the ship was borne by Nor
man Orme of Company E, First Volun-
teer cavalry (the rough riders). Orme
was fighting Indian fashion-lying upon
his stomach and shooting when he saw
a chance-when he was struck by a
Mauser bullet He was aiming his rife
at the time, and his left arm was bent.
1.-THE Spanish bullet struck Orme in
the left arm just above the elbow and
pierced it. Passing out, it entered the
upper arm, producing compound COM
fracture Of the bone of the up
per arm. The bullet passed out of the
arm and entered Orme's body just be-
low the left armpit. Thence it ranged
downward, passing through his lung.
At the opposite side of the body the bull
let was checked by rib. It had force
enough to smash this rib, but it could
go no farther and remained in the mans
body.
"In this case six wounds were inflict-
ed by one bullet, and the extraordinary
part Of the thing is that Orme has
very good chance for recovery.

FUSIONISTs BEWILDERED.
May Take Down One Negro Candidate
in Granville County.

Oxford, y. c., Oct. 2S.-(Special)--
The canvass in Granville is progressing
in very satisfactory manner. The
Democratic ticket is confessedly on all
hands one of great strength; the
campaign is being judiciousy conduct
ed, and the good fruits thereof are plain
ly visible.
Our standard bearer for the Senate,
a. A. Hicks, has been recently making
an efficient canvass in Person county,
and notwithstanding he has two OPP
ponents, Robt. Daily. Populist, and j.
a. Norwood, Republican); his pros
poets of success are highly encouraging.
Judge Adams. the Republican candidate
for Congress in this district, spoke at the
court house last night. His speech was
highly pleasing to the negro, gold bug
Republicans, who are his chief support
ers in this county. 1t is evident that if
he is counting on the Populist vote of
Granville he is counting without his host.
The Fusionists, it is believed, are some
what bewildered as to what to do with
a part of their ticket, and at least one
of the two negro candidates for the Leg
islature will be dropped and a white
nominee substituted.

There was a big Democratic rally at
Raiford last Tuesday. Many from
Robson, Cumberland and Richmond
counties were present. Ex-State Sena-
tors MCLAUGHLIN and Troy made the adj
dresses of the occasion, both of which
were received with enthusiasm. A large
escort of men wearing red shirts and
white caps met the speakers on the way
And a white union was formed with 10C
members.
Professor Currie adjourned the Raj
ford Institute for the occasion, and loan
ed the school seats for the ladies who
were in attendance.
Of course the speakers spoke earnestly
Of the deplorable condition Of affairs III
North Carolina, and were well paid for
their addresses by the attention which
they received, and the good accomplish
ed. The people left for their homes
with one accord-that Democracy must
win and White Supremacy must be es-
tab.ished. The hour is drawing nigh
for the deciding of the issue. And the
decision must be for that principle which
the speakers put forth as essential to the
salvation of North Carolina. We all
know what that means.

SOLDIERS SLEEPING UNDER

for soldiers to go sound asleep under

SIXTEEN MORE PATRIOTS.
Marshville Citizens in Body Repudiate
Fusion Methods.

Editor Of the Monroe Journal: Please
allow us space i'll your next issue for
just Il few remarks. We are of the
opinion that the time has come when
the people should apply commonsense
methods of political treatment to men
who seek and hold office. When they
come before people and promise one
thing and after being elected go and
do another. they should be repudiated
and kicked out of office" When the
Populist leaders mustered up grit enough
to lead the way towards reform n few
years ago they found the masses true
us steel. but when they began to trade
and combine with the old Republican par
ty which is directly opposed to them
in principle, the voters began to drop
out, and now they are leaving in droves
The Populist party has perhaps done
some good, but we doubt if the good it
has done is commensurate with the evil
it has done and seeks to do. The fault
is not with the masses, but with the
leaders, The leaders have become STUN
bling blocks, whose methods smack
strongly of cowardice. inability or trea-
son. They have weakened puH:c faith
but they have not destroyed individual
patriotism, and we will not go further
with them. We think the people should
put in administrative offices men of
honor and conscience, and believing the
Democratic nominees to be such men
we shall support them in the coming cleo
