crease in the number of patients at that in

VIM. III. Watkins, Esq. OF the Columbia
Manufacturing Company, of RamScur,
y. C., who will be president of the com
pany, and Mr. Thomas l.. Chisholm, of
the same company and place, who will

turing: they are men of great energy

tus that they recognize the great advan-
tages offered for the manufacture Of cot
tom at Sanford, in the Following facts:
Sanford has railroad facilities UNI
equ'alled by those of any other town in
North Carolina. being the only town in
the State reached by the three great
Southern systems, viz: The Seaboard
Air Line. the Atlantic Coast Line and
the Southern Railway, thereby affording
excellent competitive railroad service.
Cheap and abundant labor, with low
cost of living.
Cheap and abundant fuel.
There is annually marketed in San

dant supply cf the MOST superior cotton
grown III the State, which is eagerly
sought by mill men by reason Of the
excellence of its quality. being of an
unusually aong fine staple.
The manufacturing of this cotton ut
Sanford will save the manufacturers an
average of one dollar per bale as against
those points now consuming this cotton,
In the item of freight alone.
There is no longer any question as r.
an ample supply of water for all n1r-
poses. Water is l,eins supplied in ab,ln-
dant quantities from an artesian well.
and the town has just sold water bonds
for nuttip@ in a cOmplete system OF

becalmed near the shore, and some ma
tive canoes with Filipinos on board rut
out and captured the two men. VIII,
were unarmed, and also took possession
of the boat. The United States turrpt
ship Monadnock quickly sent a boat
with landing party ashore under cover
of her guns, and shelled the shore brisk

prisoners into the woods before tn /,
Monadnock's boat reached land. Per
sons on board several other ships saw
the affair through glasses. but were III
able to prevent the capture of Messrs
Heppy and Blandford.
Friendly natives arriving here from
the country around San Isidro AZ ,G San
Miguel report that il reign of tert9r nls
prevailed since the American troops
were withdrawn from those parts Of the
island. The insurgents who are return
ing there deal vengeance upon those Of
their countrymen who have shown any
friendship towards the Americans dur
ing the latters occupation of the terri
tory. The friendies declare that nm
offending people are being murdcrcd
daily, and that their houses are heipg
burned and their property conHscated
Plenty of sympathizers with tho nsur-
rection remained during the Americans
stay, and they have been reporting these
instances of friendliness towards our
troops.
The refugees add that the inhabitants
We're badly oppressed by the native sol
diers before the American occupation
but that their condition is Worsa now.
Doubtless there is much truth in these
reports, though such stories from Fill
plllo sources are always modified.
