The Democratic primary for Angus
ia county will be held next Saturday,
the 9Th. At this primary nominations
will be made for all county offices, and
to insure success at the regular cleo
ton there should be a large turnout
of the Democratic voters. Much de-
ponds upon the officials of county to
make it progressive and as Augusta
is progressive county we believe the
Democratic voters can be relied upon
to select men who will not only uphold
the present standard, but men who
will take pleasure in pressing onward
and upward the good name of Augusta
and her noble people. The vote in the
primary should be decisive, because it
will tend to drive from the field the
Independents and Republicans. We
must endeavor to make the primary
nominations equal to an election and
we can do this by polling a big vote ir
the primary.

Manila, March 31.-The Stars and
Stripes were raised over MaloIos at
10 O'Clock this morning. The Kansas
and Montana troops Oh entering found
the city deserted and partially destroy
ed by fire. The inhabitants had fled to
the. mountains, terror-stricken.
1t was evident that the rebels had
abandoned all hope of holding the
capital, the Americans finding evil
dences of elaborate preparations for
evacuation. Railroad ties and rails
were torn up for distance of a mile,
and probably thrown into the river.
The only prisoners captured were a
few Cinnamon. 1t is said Aguinaldo
left Malolos on Wednesday. The
principal citizens, with their families
and goods, were taken to the country
by means of the railroad, and the other
natives departed on foot, carr ing
their possessions and driving their
cattle before them.
Most of the rebel force were removed
yesterday evening to positions along
the railroad, leaving only small bodies
in the strong entertainments in front
of Malolos.
Our scouts report that Aguinaldo
has massed force of three thousand
troops near Calumpit, six miles north
east of Malolos, where, after their
next defeat. they can retreat across
the river into Pampana province,
burning the bridges behind them, and
thus hamper our army.
Gen. Macarthur at once started our
troops after them. The country is very
rough, being cut up by many small
rivers, which will cause great delay
to the artillery. However the infantry
and cavalry will press on to Calumpi.
without waiting for the artillery.
OTIS OFFICIAL REPORT.
Washington, March 31.-Gen. Otis
cabled the War Department today as
follows:
manila, March 31.-Our troops have
entered Malolos. They found con-
siderable portion of the city destroyed
by fire. Our casualties were one killed
and fifteen wounded. Gen. Hall has
retired to his former position, north
of Manila, where his forces are now
resting"
Berlin, March 31.-AmbassadoI
White visited the foreign Office this
morning and informed its officials
that the latest proposals from Germany
regarding Samoa are favorably receiv'
ed at Washington. The attitude fof
the press is fair and moderate, although
some newspapers are attacking the au-
thorities bitterly. claiming they are
making too many concessions to the
United States and Great Britain.

News has reached here to the effect
that sentiment is rapidly growing in
Nicaragua In favor of annexation to
the United States, resulting from the
frequent revolutions and senseless
fights that have occurred in that cOun-
try of late. A number of Nicaraguans
who are accused of completely in the
Reyes revolution have received aid
and some have been released through
the friendship of American residents
The people are fast forming plans to
suppress the uprisings, and these, it is
thought, will constitute party that
will have for the foundation of its
platform Annexation TO the United
States" During the last session of
Nicarauguan Congress, the President
in his message expressed it to be his
fondest hope, and it is more than likely
that the matter will take a definite
shape next year.

The convention of Democrats called
to meet in Richmond in the month OF
May to take some action relating to
the election of United States Senators
is meeting with popular approval. OF
course there are kickers-they are
always around-but their objections
do not appear to amount to much.
We hope to see great convention and
if the people can have voice in it
there will no doubt be some plan de-
vised whereby the election of our SEN
ators will be taken away ftom the
Legislature. Past and present expert
ence teaches US that it is just and right
and the man or set of men who oppose
it will find themselves in very small
minority.

JUDGE CHALKLEY ENDORSED,

At trial in Staunton involving q
scandal, Judge Chalkley cleared the
court room of all persons except those
Immediately concerned. His action
was criticised, but the Judge said that
he had taken this course in the intere st
of public morals.
He ought to be commended by all
who loves decency. Nothing is more
demoralizing than trial of this char
acter, and the Judge who drives away
the gaping crowd and so prevents the
nasty details from being heard and
disseminated, performs service for
which the public should be grateful
