AmlcabIy Settled.

Papers have been signed by Matthew
J. Caldbeck and J. 0. Drouin which set
ties peacefully long standing contro-
versy between them and under the agree
ment the Caldbeck block in the rear Of
Drouin's store will be cut down two sto-
ries and 10 feet taken off from the por-
ton OF the block adjoining the Drouin
block. This will give Mr.. Drouin plenty
of light for his stores and all parties
along the street are to have right Of
way to the rear of the different blocks.
The erection Of the Caldbeck block was a
useless operation in the first place and
the change will greatly improve the
value OF real estate in that vicinity. The
changes are being made by Bragg &

The Mastering Out Of the Ninth rlass Regi-
ment.

The mastering out of the United States
service of the Ninth Massachusetts, regi-
ment, which occurs next Saturday at
Boston, brings to mind the valued SER
vices of this regiment in the war. Its re-
cord is unique in that. the mortality OF
the regiment was greater than that OF
any volunteer regiment in the service.
The story of the Ninth regiment in Cuba
will be graphically told in The Boston
Sunday Herald of Nov. 81, 1898. The
story will be fully illustrated from photo
graphs and sketches made in Cuba by
the Herald's artists and correspondents.

SPANIARDS ARE NOT COWARDS.
They Are Going to Get Licked; But They
Know How to Fight.

They Are Going to Get Licked; But They
Know How to Fight.
Louisville Courier-Journal.
1t is we'll not to 60 into war with
Spain under the supposition that it is
TO be a walk-over for our navy. The
Spaniards, in the first place, have
been fighting for three years, and are
thus experienced in war; in the Sec
ond place, the Latins are as much a
fighting race as the Anglo-Saxons.
During the last 100 years Spain has
been engaged in war for 60 years, and
there is much in such experience.
Her marines are recruited from her
seacoast population, and are skillful
sailors as well as brave men.
We can gain some idea Of the des-
perate courage with which the Latins
fight by recalling the history of the
naval struggle between Peru and Chilli
in 1879. No more determination or
bravery was ever displayed. The
Peruvian ironclad Huascar, after a
brilliant predatory expedition that
laSleU LOT lUTee uOuluS Was IStululuS
home to refit and repair under COM
mand of Admiral Grau. On the Sth
of October he sighted Chilian fleet
containing two ironclads, and after a
vain attempt to escape fought them
single handed for hours, with terrible
losses. Admiral Grau was killed in
the coming tower; commander who
succeeded him was slain, and the lieu
tenant who followed was shot down
by marine in Chilian ship, which
lay alongside. The carnage and
slaughter was fearful, but the few re-
naming Peruvians resisted a boarding
party until overpowered, and then it
was discovered that the chief engineer
of the Huascar had scuttled his ship,
though the victors managed to save
it. This was the most famous engage
ment of the war, but in e previous
one, when a Chilian ship was sunk,
the crew resisted rescue by the Peru
vians, stabbing them with their knives.
Over half submitted to drowning rath-
er than capture. These people were
practically Spaniards, and probably
fought no better than Spaniards will
fight.
There can be no doubt of the issue
of the war with Spain, but it is well

AT THE TELEPHoNE.-A Texas far
mer entered the Office of Dallas
Texas, merchant prince, says Siftings
and asked him if he would like to buy
some fresh butter, which he had
brought to town in his wagon.
II really don't know whether my
wife wants any butter just now, but
I'll find out" replied the merchant,
and stepping to the telephone he called
up his wife, and had some conversation
on the subject. Then he turned to the
countryman, who had watched the
proceedings, and whose face was a
study for an artist.
"No," said the merchant; "my wife
tells me that she has butter enough on
hand to last for sometime"
"That's all right, cap. You don't
need to buy any butter if you don't
want to. All you have got to do is to
say so, but you needn't play me for a
fool by trying to make me believe you
have got your wife locked up in that
little box. Ireckon I have some sense
left if l am from the country. You
can't fool me-"

not to be too sangune at the start.
In this struggle between Chill and
Peru the result was perhaps, decided
by the accidental sinking of the Peru
vian iron clad Independence, which
was decoyed into shallow water by
a Chilian corvette and wrecked, while
Admiral Grau was winning brilliant
victory with the Huascar. Accident
may give the Spanish the advantage
in the first battle, and then our en-
thusiastic Americans may find them
selves in much the same condition as
were the Washington authorities after
the first Bull Run. 1t is better to be
prepared for temporary reverses,
though sure of ultimate victory. We
have the righteous cause, and. are
thrice armed in that at any rate.

SEEING AND kNOWING.-An emf
nent lord chief justice, who was try,
ing a right of way case, had before
him a witness-an old farmer-who
was proceeding to tell the jury that he
had "knowed the path for 60 yeer, and
my feyther tould I as he heerd my
grandfather zay"-
"Stop!" said the judge, 1--WE can't
have any hearsay evidence here"
"Not!" exclaimed Farmer Giles.
"Then how dost thou know who thy
feyther was 'cept by hearsay ?"
After the laughter had subsidized the
Judge said: "In courts of law we can
only be guided by what you have seen
with your eyes, and nothing more or
less"
"Oh, that be blowed for tale !" re-
piled the farmer. ~ ha' got a bile on
the back of my neck and never seed
'um, but he prepared to swear that
he's there, dang .'un !"
This second triumph on the part OF
the witness set in torrent of hearsay
evidence about the footpath which OBJ
tained weight with the jury, albeit
the judge told them it was not testi-
mony of any value, and the farmers
party won.-Irish Times.

INTRODUCING MARK TwAIN.-Now
that Mark Twain is coming back to US,
stories are revived of his early days.
1t is said that once he went to lect-
ure in small town located somewhere
on the outskirts of civilization. The
chairman Of the evening knew moth
ing about him, but felt that he must
nevertheless do his duty. "Ladies and
gentlemen" said he, cit is my duty to
Introduce to you Mr.. Mark Twain.
The only thing know of him is that
he has never been in our Jail, and I
am bound at the same time to add
that don't know why he hasn't"
When the audible smiles had sub
sided, Mark arose and said, slowly:
"Ladies and gentlemen, | am ex-
tremely sorry to throw doubt on the
veracity of your chairman, but must
tell the truth if he does not. He is
wrong when he says I have not been
in your Jail. 1 was there this after
noon-on a visit of inspection"

SPEECH FROM The THRONE.
How the Queen Regent Puts the Case to
Her People.

How the Queen Regent Puts the Case to
Her People.
The Spanish cortes assembled in eX-
traordinary session on Wednesday and
the Associate Press synopsizes the
speech of the queen regent as follows: {:
"The grave anxieties which sadden-
ed my nina the last time l addressed
you have increased, and are heightened
by public uneasiness, conveying the
presentiment of fresh and greater CON-
plications as a result of the turn which
events in Cuba have taken. These
complications were brought about by
o section of the people of the United
States which, seeing that the autono-
my previously offered in my message
was about TO be put in force, foresaw
that the free manifestations of the
Cuban people, through its chambers,
would Illustrate forever the schemes
against Spanish sovereignty, which
have been plotted by those who, with
resources and hopes sent from the
neighboring coast, have fettered the
suppression of the insurrection in that
unhappy island. Should the govern
ment of the United States yield to this
blind current, menaces and insult,
which we have hitherto been able to
regard with indifference, for they were
not an expression of the sentiments OF
the true American nation, would be-
come intolerable provocations, which
would compel my government, i'll de-
fence of the national dignity, to sever
relations with the government of the
United States.
"In this supreme crisis the sacred
voice of Him who represents human
Justice on earth was raised in counsels
of peace and prudence, to which my
government had no difficulty in heark-
ening, strong in the consciousness OF
its right, and calm in the strict per-
formance of its duties"
Her majesty added: "Spain's graf
itude is due to the pope, and also
to the great Powers, whose action
strengthens my conviction that Spain's
cause deserves universal sympathy,
and that her conduct merits unani-
nous approval.
"Possibly, however, the peace efforts
may fail to control the evil passions
excited against Spain. Lest this mo-
ment arrive, I have summoned the
cortes to defend our rights, whatever
sacrifice they may entail. Thus iden-
tifying myself with the nation, not
only fulfill the oath I swore in accept
ing the regency, but I follow the die
tates of a mothers heart, trusting to
the Spanish people to gather behind
my sons throne, and to defend it until
he is old enough to defend it himself,
as well as trusting to the Spanish peo-
pie to defend the honor and the terri
tory of the nation"
The queen regent then referred to
the trouble in the Philippine islands,
and, continuing, said: "Although a
dark and gloomy future is before us,
the difficulties are not beyond our
powers. With our glorious army,
navy and the united nation before for
eign aggression, we trust in God that
we shall overcome, without stain on

1t has been widely published that
it is the policy of Secretary Of War
Alger to place southern troops in the
front of the army that is to invade
Cuba. The alleged reason for this is
because southern troops are supposed
to be more nearly "acclimated." Sec
retary Alger, however, has denied the
statement as untrue. He says that it
will be the policy of the war depart
ment to assign troops to duty without
any sectional discrimination whatever.

OFF TO THE WAR.

TT may be owing to the strong proba-
l. bilites of war with Spain and to the
fact that onr certificates contain no restric-
tions or forfeilures on account OF war or
riots, that THE CAROLINA BENEVO-
LENT ASSOCIATION has, within the
past ten days, made such wonderful
strides.
One agent alone, in four days, sent in so
applications, and he remarked that he
could not have them examined fast
enough to suit the applicants, as they
wanted protection at once. This is truly
encouraging to the promoters of this
benevolent and cooperative plan Of life
insurance, and it is positive proof that
the intelligent people of this section of the
state are anxious to foster a meritorious
industry. The plan is simply the neigh
bors of the counties of which division
consists, insuring themselves at cost, with
only an additional expense of 3 per
capita to guarantee the management to be
carried on upon systematic and business
principles.
We have been in business only about
four weeks and have averaged over 100
applications a week, and have only four
or five active agents in the field. We
propose to put this equitable, cheap and
solvent plan of insurance within the reach
of every eligible man and woman within
the circuit of the various divisions. We
have not heard an adverse criticism upon
our plan of operation worthy of note since
it's introduction. We invite the most
scrupulous investigation and challenge
the world to produce more equitable,
more solvent and cheaper plan Of life
protection. d. E. BONEY, Manager.
