THE SUGGESTION APPROVED
Our Commercial Bodies Will Probably
Take Action Towards Having the
Cruiser Raleigh to Come to Southport
to Present the Gun Captured at Manila

The article IN The Messenger yester-
day with reference to the suggestion
to bring the United States cruiser Raj
tention and created deep interest
among our leading citizens.
The Raleigh was named for u state
capital, and as she belonged to Ad-
miral Dewey's fleet at Manila and bore
a conspicuous part in the humiliation
of the Spanish fleet, she brought back
from Manila a piece of artillery which
was captured from the Spaniards and
which her commander and crew Sc
cured with a view to present it as a
trophy to the city of Raleigh. 1t has
already been stated that the cruiser
recently arrived at New York and
would shortly go to Norfolk for extern
sive repairs and that when she arrived
at Norfolk, citizens of the city of Raj
eigh will go there to receive the gun.
The Southport Standard on Thursday
suggested that this function should
take place in North Carolina waters
and urged that the cruiser should be
brought to Southport where three or

silver service presented by citizens of
North Carolina. The Messenger joined
in this suggestion, and all North Car
olinians will earnestly approve it.
We understand that the commercial
bodies of Wilmington will take action
towards having the Raleigh to come
to Southport and we hope that they
will do so. Mr.. P. Heinsberger, secre-
tary Of the Merchants Association,
tells us hat body will probably meet
this week and take some action in the
matter. A special meeting of the cham
Der of will be held at $3.50
o'clock next Tuesday to consider some
important matters, and we hope that
body will also urge the secretary of the
navy to allow the Raleigh to come to
our waters to present the gun to the
city of Raleigh.

Our Former Townsman, Mr.. John w.
RolIes, Wrote a Graphic Account OF
the Opening of Hostflitfes

Several days g We mentioned the
fact that a native Wilmingtonian, Mr..
John w. Bolles, now representative of
the Standard Oil Company at Hong
Kong, China, was in Manila when hos
tilities commenced between our army
and the F~ilipinos. Soon after the
fighting Mr.. Bolles returned TO Hong
Kong, and furnished the China Mail,
a daily paper of that city, their first
reliable news Of the fighting, although
that colony is in direct cable connec-
ton with Manila.
Mr.. Bolles' report covers over two
columns, and is realistic and very in
teresting. He describes the fight as he
and a party Of tourists witnessed it,
first from the monastery tower in Ma
Mia, and then from a blockhouse just
beyond the telegraphed station at Ma
late. He saw about two thousand OF
the Filipinos slain as they advanced
fearlessly in the teeth Of a heavy in
fantry and artillery fire, and saw about
1VV uuuuIeu VI Luo eHoiiy SopCoicu anu
all were dirty specimens Of humanity.
Mr.. Bolles also describes the manner
Of fighting Of the F%ilipinos, which he
says is decidedly peculiar. They rush
pell-mell forward and do lot take aim
with their rifles, but hold them over
their heads and fire down on the enc
my. In skirmishing they usually fire
from the hip, or at any other convent
ent position.
. He says the thrifty Chinese is in evil
dence everywhere, driving bullock
carts for the commissariat and carry
ing out all the laborers' work. In the
city the Chinese shopkeepers are as
tranquil as at any other time, and carry
on business undisturbed by the general
excitement.

The lnter-Coliege with ,hc Uni

Represented Death OF urs. Martha
Kirkland

Correspondence OF The Messenger.)
Chapel Hill, y. c., March 10.
This morning our representatives,
Messrs. Broadhurst and Bowie leave for
Athens, Ga, where on tomorrow night
the annual debate between the univer-
sites of Georgia and this university
takes place. This debate has been
watched with interest in both colleges
and a hot contest will take place.
Both Of u representatives are good
speakers and they present their argu-
ments in a clear. logical faction. Car
DINA has confidence in them and We ex-
pect them TO ret~rn with the palm OF
victory. The judges for the occasion
are Professor II. w. Smith, OF Rome,
Ga; Hon. Porter King. OF Atlanta. and
Hon. w. S. Miller, Of Abbeville, S. G..
The question to be debated is:
Resolved, That the United States
Senators should be elected by a direct
vote of the people"
Georgia holds the affirmative and
Carolina the negative.
This contest will be watched with
interest all over the two states. Geor-
gia won the first, Carolina the second
and the third is to be debated tomor-
row night.
Beginning with next year an annual
debate will also take place with Van
debit University Of Tennessee. Thus
will be seen, with our inter-society
inter-clasS and inter-university debates
that the literary work of the univer-
sity is not being neglected. but, On the
ct ntrary, is constantly rising upward
and getting on a higher plane.
Yesterday afternoon the oldest per-
son Of Chapel Hill departed this life.
1t was Mrs. Martha kirkland and she
was eighty three years old. She was
loved and admired by all who knew
her. Three daughters and one son
survive her TO mourn her loss.

The CRUISER RALEIGH
Let the Demonstration of North Caro-
lfn1ans Over the Namesake Of Our
Capital Take Place at Southport

The Norfolk Landmark says:
1.-The United States cruiser Raleigh
which recently arrive at New York
from Manila, is expected to arrive at
the navy yard shortly for the purpose
of undergoing extensive repairs. AS is
we'll known the Raleigh-was built here
and therefore a local pride which is
only eQualled by citizens Of the old
North State attaches t the noble YES
sci which did such splendid service and
reflected so much credit upon the skill
Of local workmen at the battle of Ma
Mia May LIST last. The citizens of Raj
eigh, N. c., for which city the cruiser
a. named, are it is understood, ar
ranging for a big public demonstration
Upon the arrival Of the cruiser at this
navy yard, an event in which they will
be heartily Joined by the residents of
this section. One of the features of the
demonstration will, it is said, be the
presentation of a gun captured at Ma
Mia to the city of Raleigh"
The Southport Standard of Thurs
day, in referring to the above, makes
the following timely suggestion:
Citizens of the state whose capital
city is honored in the name Of this
Cruiser should insist on having the
proposed demonstration take place in
our own waters. This port was right
ly selected three years ago, as the
point to present the same cruiser with
a gift from the citizens Of the state. 1t
is proper that this point be selected
for the public exercises; as the CRUZ
Ger car enter this port with the great
est Of ease; and the Battalion Of Naval
Reserves could join in to make the
occasion North Carolinas in every re-

How to Prevent Pneumonia.

You are perhaps aware that pneu-
monia always results from a cold or
from on attack of la grippe. During
the epidemic of la grippe few years
ago when so many cases resulted in
pneumonia, it was observed that the
attack was never followed by that dis
ease when Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy was used. 1t counteracts any ten
dency of cold or la grippe to result
in that dangerous disease. 1t is the
best remedy in the world for bad colds
and la grippe Every bottle warranted.
