outside that he had never noticed upon
the refrigerated beef formerly furnished
at Fort Riley. Kan. where he was sta

was inclined TO nausea.
Referring to the canned roast beef he
said it seemed 10 be of scraps, aud the
men would not eat 1t.
Brig. Gen. S. II. Hawkins testified that
he heard complaints against canned roast
and canned corn beef on q transport COM
ing home from Santiago, where he was
woanded
Capt. ]. w. Duncan of the Twenty-frst

give satisfaction, the men generally com

il appeared coarse, unseasoned, tasted nat

whatever it was" was in globules APP
parently it was preserved,
All complain brought to him, he said
were that the beef was rerugnant, unral-

Refrigerated Beef All Right.
Referring to refrigerated beef, Capt
Duncan said 1t was very satisfactory; ne
ate it, saw no difference between it and
beef used at stations IN the country, and
never suspecis its treatment with chem
icais.
Capt. William N. Hughes, Thirteenth
Infantry, testified that canned beef was
first used after the landing at Santiago,
and complaints followed at once. He at
tempted, personally. he said, to use, but
found it unpalatabie, It did not satisfy
hunger and he could not eat It, Such
was the experience generally of the men.
1t was stringy and without nutritive value.
Capt. William Ennis Fourth Artillery,
was with the Shsfter expedition aud re-
mained at Santiago until Aug. a. He
said the canned roast beef was used on
the transport and more or less through
out the stay of his command in Cuba.
None of the men complained while there,
but personally he had taken il as a stew
and was often nauseated. Since his re-
turn he had inquired of the men as to
it's effects and complaints We're made.
Refrigerated beef was furnished after
the surrender and was satisfactory.
Everybody liked It, and he never suspect
ed any use of chemicals
Since he had reflected he was surprised
that he had been able to keep it twenty
four hours after issue.
"A great many of the men would eat
the canned roast beef and turn about
quickly and vomit," Capt. Ennis said, "and
finally they refused to eat ID at ALL"
A number of other witnesses were exam

the foregoing.

COTTON.

From gathered reports we learn
that the cotton. crop situation is
not fiattering. In the early part OF
the season the prospects for large
crop was promising, although there
was decrease in the acreage.
Heavy rains, followed by intense
scalding heat and east winds caused
squares to drop and otherwise
damaged the crop about thirty per
cent. The late cotton is beyond
redemption--all weed and no fruit.
The first bale came in August %,
as against August 26 last year, in.
dicating that cotton Is prematurely
ripening.
Picking has commenced in a
small way, but will soon be general.
Some little rust is complained of
in the bottoms.
In consequence of the low price
Of cotton and demand for labor on
the railroad and other improve
ments in the county, cotton pickers
will be scarce.
Corn is made, and enough to do
the county.

Every intelligent citizens admits that
bad roads damage almost every inter-
est to a greater or less extent and that
a system Of good roads would enhance
the value of real estate, help business
and in a thousand ways be of inestim-
able value to the country-of more
value, really, than two OF three rail-
roads traversing the country. We say,
these facts are admitted by all intelli-
gent citizens. Then why don't we pro-
coed to build good roads? Aye, there's
the rub. It's mighty easy to talk and
vapor around but when it comes to do
ing something it means an expenditure
of money-taxation-and then some Of
the fellows who have been shooting
for better roads will change front and
say that the roads aren't sc bad after
all; that they will dry VI next summer,
and that if the holes are cross away
ed, ETC., ETC., we may manage TO get
along without macadamiZed roads
just as our fathers did; and that taxes
are too high anyhow.-Statesville

Rev. Dan Atkins, a presiding elder
Of the Western North Carolina Confer
ence, exposes the methods of the Stan
dard Oil Co. in a recent issue of the Ep-
worth News, of which he is the ac-
complished editor. We have only
room for a brief extract, put will give
the whole article at another time: The
c!l trust is the best illustration of all, as
it is in some sense the head of all.
This trust began about 1862, when
some 13 men organized under the name
Of the South Improvement Co., and by
contracting with the leading railroads,
whose officials were made partners or
| benefciaries of the business, they
came into practical control of the oil
| transportation. The railroads contrac-
ted with the company: To double
freight rates. 2. Not to charge them
the increase. 3. To give them the in
crease collected from the competitors.
4. To make any other changes of rates
necessary to guarantee their success
in business. 5. To destroy their COM
p~etitors by high freight rates. 6. To
spy out the details of their competi-
tors business. This was the lever by
which the oil trust easily rased itself
into power Their long history of op-
preston, bribery and escape from JUS
tice followed. Their persistence in
crushing competitors has been as mar
velous as ii is ~satanic.-Webster's

Down-The Damage Very Severe on
the Company
Yesterday morning about l o'clock
a severe storm of the nature of a cy-
clone passed over Cronly, sixteen
miles from this city on the Carolina
Central Railroad. It was accompanied
by a terrific rain and the wind blew
so stong that many persons became
alarmed for the safety of their homes
and got out of bed and dressed.
No residences were blown down,
however, but one of the large acid
chambers of the Acme Manufacturing
Company, was demolished. The roof
and both sides of the chamber were
blown away.
The immediate damage sustained by
the company amounts to several thou
sand dollers, but the greatest loss will
be that the company will lose a very
large part of its seasons business. The
acid works mil have to be shut down
and in view Of the fact that the cham
Der cannot be repaired in time, the COM
pany has Cancelled it's contracts for acid
phosphate.
The acid chamber which was blown
down was a structure 100 feet long, 20
feet wide and 20 feet high.
The company will begin work this
morning to rebuild the chamber and
hopes to be in a position to at least fill
some of it's contracts.
The damage to the chamber and the
loss of business consequent upon it
falls heavily upon the company, as it
had no cyclone insurance.
The storm which passed over Cron-
ly was also felt severely in Whining
tor. Many people were walked from
their sleep by the hard rain and severe
WIND.

Were you present on the occasion
that Colonel Waddell addressed an au-
dience composed Of white people of
Wilmington mainly, in which he stated
substantially that the white people rep
resented by the democrats would car
ry the election if it required the Cape
Fear river should be filed up with the
bodies or -carcasses of negroes?
Answer: 1 was not present.
Who was the recognized leader of the
democracy of the city during the cam
paign n election following November
s, 1898?
Answer: I car say who I think. At
one time Colonel Waddell was.
Who presided over a meeting held
in the courthouse on the 9Th of Novem-
Der, 1898, by white people?
MI. Davis objected. He said 1t was
competent to inquire about matters oc-
curing before the election, but not af-
ter the election. Anything that hap
pened after the election had no bear
ing on the election whatever.
Here a lengthy argument followed,
Mr.. Spears taking the ground that the
question was competent, and Mr.. Davis
that it was not.
Mr.. Davis contended that the Ques-
ton be ruled out and not taken down.
Mr.. Spears said he had a very un-
pleasant duty TO perform in behalf Of
his client, but he intended TO do it o n
scientiously. He was not here as a par
tisan, for in a contest in his own dis
trict he had appeared as coun for a
democrat.
Mr.. Howell, the democratic notary
public, sustained Mr.. Davis objection
hat no occurrence after the election
had anything to do with it.

this point with Mr.. Howell, and the
