FIVE NEGROES KILLED.
bloody Riot Between white and
CoIored Miners at Carter
VILE, Ill.

Carterville, H., Sept. 1s.-Carterville
was the scene of a bloody riot about
noon Sunday, in which four negroes
were instantly killed and one wounded
unto death, while two others received
slight wounds. The trouble has been
lowering ever since the militia was re.
called by Gov. Tanner last Monday
The white miners of this place have re-
fused TO allow the negro miners to come
into town, always meeting them and
ordering them back
Sunday, however, 10 negroes, all
armed, marched into town, going 10 the
Illinois Central depot. where they ex-
changed a few words with the white
miners there, when the negroes pulled
their pistols and opened fire on the
whites, who at once returned the fire
when running fight was kept up. The
negroes scattered. but were closely fol
lowed by the whites, running up the
main street, while the remainder
took down the railroad track. Here
the execution was done, all who went
through town escaping.
AlieI the liSHl was over TOUR dead
bodies were picked up and another NOR
tally wounded. They were taken to the
city hall. where the wounded man was
attended to and an inquest held over the
dead ones. Cummins, the wounded
man, died soon after, making a total OF
five killed.

Since the area Of Luzon is ~,

at the rate of progress hereto
fore made. In Cebu and Ne

American sovereignty it is
necessary to maintain ten
battalions of soldiers. These
troops hold very little except
the capital cities, and are har-
raised by night attac IS of

them in bands of 1000 men or
more. The situation in Panay
is even worse than in Cebu
and Negroes, and Of the large
Isla nd of Mindanao we do not
hold a square foot, The total
area Of the Philippines is
about lis, 500 square miles,

conducting the campaign |
shall be persisted in with no
better results than have hith-
erto been obtained the war
will continue SIG years, or

The Money i'll Grapes.

We are informed that Mr.. j. E.
Buchan, at Manly, two miles from
Southern Pines, realized clear
profit of 500 per acre for his crop
of Delaware grapes the past seas n
and for his crop Of Niagaras $50.
The grape industry is one in
which our people can we'll afford to
invest, as the amount of money
per acre is larger than that from
any other single industry of this
section. Mr.. Buchan thinks the
Moore's Early grape is moi suited
to this section, and is taking out
all OF that variety to make room
for more Delawares.

On the next national election, with
the exception possibly that the
result in Ohio means the renomi-
nation Of President Mckinley by
the Republicansin 1900. The Re-
publicans lose Nebraska, and the
Democrats through factions, splits
and other foolhardy transactions,
have failed to regain Kentucky; the
loss of Kansas by the Democrats is
partially offset by the loss OF Ma

PHILIPPINE CENSORSHIP.

Writing from the Philippines, Mr..
Collins, correspondent OF the ASCOT
ated press, and one of those who
Joined in the famous protest against
the censorship says, after speaking Of
the submission of the correspondents
for long time to the most rigorous
censorship on their dispatches. "But
when General Otis came down IN
frank admission that the censorship
was not intended to prevent the news
papers from giving information and
assistance to the enemy(the legitimate
function, and accordance to our view
the only legitimate one, Of censor
ship) but to keep the knowledge Of
conditions here from the people at
home, and when the censor had re-
peat idly told us in ruling out plain
statements Of undisputed facts, MY
instructions are to let nothing go
that can hurt the Administration we
concluded that protest was iustif-
able" And further writes Mr.. Col.
Inns: Recently l filed what 1 be-
ieVed to be a most inoffensive state
ment, that the business men who had
appeared before the commission had
advocated the retention OF the exist
ing silver system of currency and the
censor said, Il ought not let that go.
That would be lift for Bryan. My
instructions are to shut off every
thing that can hurt the 4 administration
That is free silver" And what par
ty can afford to stand for such things
rs these, aye, il they go much further
stand by the Administration that
stands by such things as the McKin-
ley Administration in upholding Otis
does? And when further we find
such a man as General Lawton say
ing to Congregationalist minister IN
the Philippines, studying them as a
field for missionary work and report
ed by him, @Stop this accursed war;"
may we not expect lin upheavel
against the Administration that has

A young married couple who recently

GIG, A FLIRTING GIRL.
A Term That Is Found in the
Works Of Old English
Writer'S.

Gig" has one or two obsolete and
rare meanings Of interest. 1t is ohso-
lctc in its meaning of f:-Et&' gin,
though writer so comparatively IGcd-
crn as M!-c. E'AI!!ay wrr;2 ii her
diary: ''G.!Gr.otte T. called, and Ike
little gig told all the 0uarrels." In the
sense Of an oddly or fool the word
probably survives locally. Whvte-Mcl-
Vile makes some one say in kate Gov
entry" "Such set Of gigs my dear,
! never saw in my life. 4 II II not a
good-looking man among them" Yet
note that the word is put Into quota
ton marks. "In high gig" meant in
high spirits. Gig" had the third mean
ing of fun, glee. Sir Walter Besant To-
Gates the phrase in the '3Os of this CEN
tury in his Fifty Years Ago." "a
laughter-loving lass of 10 who dearly
loved bit of a gig.". No connection
with "giggle" is suggested. BY the
way, see that Mr.. Leslie Stephen has
had the temerity to write of the house
of commons "giggling over some deli
cious story of bribery and corruption"
Although gig Eighty girl, is OBJ
solete, "giglet," meaning the same
thing, is apparently not so. A writer
in Chambers Journal uses it with eff
feet in the sentence: "Why should fe-
male clerks in the postal service consist
of pert giglets hardly out of their
teens?" "Giglet fairs" (for hiring fe-
male farm servants) are still held in the
west of England.--Academy.

POLITICAL NONSENSE,

ain every war since its organiza-
ton, the Democratic party has allied
itself with the enemies of it's country.
The present war is no exception to
the rule."-Gazette.
Well, let US see about it. The or
ganizatlon OF the Democratic party
dates back to the early days Of the
Republic. Its history is the history
of the United States. 1t fought the
war Of 1912 and the Mexican war to
successful conclusions. These wars
were opposed by the party that after
wards became the Republican party
for winch Bro. Bragg now yells so
Justify. In the Civil War the great
organization OF the Democratic party
stood by the Union. In the war with
Spain there was no division of senti
ment among the people. Democrats
and Republicans We'd with each other
in supporting the war policies OF a
Republican administration. In the
present war, begotten in spirit Of
greed and waged for conquest, there
is strong division of sentiment
among the people. Republicans and
Democrats condemn it as violation
OF the sacred principles upon which
our Government is fou nded. Blind
indeed must be the man who can
write such trash as Bro. Bragg some
times inhicts upon the readers Of the
Gazette. II he studied the history Of
his country more and drew less from
his imagination, he would not insult
the intelligence of the people with
such nonsense as the above.
