NEWSPAPER MAN THE WINNER

A young newspaper man Of Raleigh
has just won an honor worth the hav
ing and a pile of money with it. That
is, it is a pile to newspaper men, Ger
tainly TO some of them, if there is any
force in the old saw.
Ordinary people,, such as bootblacks,
hack drivers, hotel porters and wait
ere, and BARRIERS and the like would
probably not consider $50 much, and
readily epend it in a summer days
outing. But the very idea Of a news
paper man being in the ~undisputed
possession of as much as $50 at one
and the same time, is an unheard OF
piece OF extravaganza, such as we Sc
riouely fear will turn the les Croesus
OF the craft daft and start every coun
try editor from Cherokee to Manteo to
writing essays.
In all seriousness, however, we con
graduate brother Poe on his deserved
nonors and good fortune. The facts
are:
The North Carolina Publishing So
ciety come time ago offered two prizes
fer the two best essays which had as
their subject the life and career of any
man a sketch Of whose life appears 10
the work published by that company
entitled, Lives of Distinguished
North Carolinians."
The committee Consisting Of Presi-
dent Alderman, of the University
| President Taylor, Of Wake Forest, and
President Holiday, of the A. and NJ.
College,) yesterday awarded the first
prize of $50 for the best sketch to
| Clarence q. Poe, associate editor OF
The Progressive Farmer. The subject
of Mr.. Poe's sketch was Nathaniel
Macon. A check in full payment OF
! the prize was handed the lucky con
testant yesterday.
The second prizs of $40 was yester
DIV awarded TO Miss Rjsa Wells, OF
Wilson, who is a pupil OF Prof. Man.
| gums school at that place. She can
not be over IL years Of age, as the
| contestants for this prize were limited
to those between the ages of II and Ii
years.
There were more than so contestants
we are informed.-R2Ieigh Post.

THE sTATEsVILLE STORM.

Writing of the terrible storm referred
to in last weeks Progressive Farmer,
which did 50 much damage in and
around Statesville, a Charlotte Ooser
yer correspondent writing from that
place, Gays:
The echoes from Saturday mornings
storm have not yet ceased. While the
town suf red severely, this county
and northwestern Rowan probably had
greater loss. The portion of the storm
that passed south of Statewide can be
traced from a point naRly five miles
south west OF S5atesville, in a southeast
direction to within g few miles Of Sails
bury, a distance of Is miles or more in
Iredell ard almost as much IL Rowan.
The track of this storm was one TO two
miles wide, and is marked by denuded
forests, overturned barns and unrCofed
houses. Ole negro cabin, g miles
southeast Of here, occupied by a man,
his wife and seven children, was lifted,
except the floor, and carried some ten
feet, collapsiDg IN the bed occupied by
the negro and his wife and child. The
man, Alex. Waddle, extracted himself
and then pulled out his wife and caild.
He and his wife were injured, but not
seriously.
The greatest damage, however, was
from the hail, which fell in torrents tc
a depth of 4 or 5 inches, while the
drifts were from ID to Is inches deep
Corn and cotton are ruined, beaten in
to the ground. Wheat was not only
broken down and beaten fat, but the
grains were pounded out of the heads
The hail belt was from three-quarteTl
to one mile wide, and lay along tht
north side Of Third creek. The loss tt
the farmers runs up into the thous
ande, some of them losing sc much g.
$4OO or $500. In addition to wind aut
hail, the downpour of rain raised TnirC
creek until it is higher than it has beef
for years, thus covering acres of fin
meadow land with muddy water
Some of the best farms in this AM
Chambersburg township, as we'll as IL
Rowan, are bare of growing crops.

Of 800, 900 in bonds for street improve

against the bond issue, while the vote
in favor Of it was 1894 The total
registration was 1916, which shows
that only 272 of those registered failed

WASHINGTON, June 17,-Under the

Kinley and the War Department the
fighting force Of Americans in the
Philippines will be increased to IS 600,

The administration, however, con-
cluded that it was better to have a
sufficient margin to allow for sick and

increased to 35. 900. To carry the plan
out, it is stated that two thirds Of

substantiates the reported assaes ma
ton of Filipino General Luna. It is

lently. Luna berated him and the
captain placed his hand on a revolver.
Luna instantly drew his and fired.
The captain returned the fire. Both
missed. Colonel Ramon interiered,
drawing his sword, ~Whereupon the
surgeant Of the guard bayonetted him.
The entire guard then attacked Luna

CHICAGO, June IA According to
General Anderson, commanding the
Department of the Lakes, the navy
losses Of the American troops in the
recent engagements with the Filipinos
at Les Pinas and Bakoor, south of Ma.

which Admiral Dewey pres 2nted to
Aguinaldo, last winter. The batter
les in question, General Anderson says,
T being operated by Spanish prls
oners who have been released by Agui
naldo with the understanding that
they enlist in the insurgent army.
General Anderson took the first de
tachment Of troops to the PHILIPPINES,
last fall, and was a prominent figure
in the first negotiations with the
Filipino government.
when Admiral D3Wey captured Ca.

took possession of a lot Of artillery
and later presented it to Aguinaldo.
1t is these cannon that are now being
used by the insurgents AGAR st our

SILVER TO TAKE A REAR SEAT
Trusts to be the Democratic Battle
Cry in 1000.

CHICAGO, June IA The Times Herald
has asked members Of the National
Democratic Comm ittee what should be
be their pRrty's battle Cry IN 1900,
whether Free silver" or Down with
the trusts" or both. Answers received
are published in the Times Herald TO-
day. While only one Of the replies,
that Of the representative for Maine,
says, Drop free silver" they are all
but unanimous in giving the trust
quCs ion a prominenceit mas never had
in the platform of their own or any
other party.
With one exception, all who speak
freely suggest that other Issues will
divide the stege equally with free sill
YER. Some a ''militarism" or 'im
perial sn" will be one Of the promi,
nent issues. Others frankly empha
siz9 the trust question as the big
thing" Still others speak for a twin
battle cry. JUST one committeeman
says fatty: The Issues Of 1896 should
be the issues of 1900"
The reply OF Joseph Daniels North
Carolina was:
THE SHIBBOLETH OF THE
CAMPAIGN THE DE dCRATS WILL
WAGE in 1900 WILL BE, DOWN
WITH TRUSTS The Chicago plat
form will be reeRrmed, Bryan will be
renominated, and all men who are op
posed to trusts OF all sorts and to mill

struggle to restore equal opportunity,
which the trusts deny, and to crush

ANOTHER CASE OF DIDN'T

Our worthy ranchman, Mr.. H. NJ.
Thatcher, is man who would never be
accused of being dude, but the fact re-
mains that he had on the hottest pair of
pants last week, that were ever brought
into this county. And thereby hangs q
tale: Now Henry is not so young as he
used to be, nor his eye as keen as when
he discovered the many charms in his
estimable wife; however he thinks he

and load itquick! Every one supposed
it was an indian uprising. and the weap-
on was soon in his hands, loaded and
ready for the foe, buc what was their
disgust. when Henry said he had espied
an enormous hawk. in one of the trees,
near the house? Henry went forth and
IN about minute. you would have
thought there were half a dozen; the
hawk was still, where he should have
left it; Henry blazed away and down it
came, and for fear it might get away, he
was right there to secure it and got onto
it with both feet and then he got right
off again; for his hawk proved to be a
swarm of bees; he had shot the limb off
clean and the bees came down all in a
bunch and they went up Henry's trows-
ers and that's what made them hot;
Henry executed one of the greatest war
dances seen in this country, since the
good old DAYS when poor Low roamed

Henry will be able to get his pants on

they are too warm for him.

The mission of Brass Band in COM
munity is for good. Perhaps no other
single feature can contribute so much to
a towns life and pleasure. This being a
fact. it is but just that band should be
looked upon, in measure, as public
institution; and this view makes its sue
cess matter of interest to every citizen.
Glance for a moment at the usefulness
of Brass Band: A celebration of any
kind IS tame indeed without its inspiring
strains. Not only does every holiday
aud campaign speak urgently for its
utility, but other occasions, some joyful.
others of deepest sorrow, find i n martial
music the only adequate auxiliary. It's
mission may truly lie eaid to ex-
press in musical tones the voice of the
people. A number of the young men of |

lied a band and desire to send for their |
instruments on Friday, Let us give |
them what encouragement, lies in our
