England and the TrxnSVaai

London, July 1.-THE parliamentary
secretary for the war office, Mr.. Wynn
ham, replying to a question in the
house Of commons today, said the COM
munication published by The London
Times July 7th, giving the names of
British officers detailed to proceed to
South Africa to organize the forces
there, had been sent with the knowledge
tary of state for war.
The secretary of state for the colo
MES, Mr.. Chamberlain, in the curse
of a reply to Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman, liberal leader in the house,
on the subject of President Kruger's Ia
Test proposals, said that in the absence
of fuller Information, it was impossible
to be certain as to the practical effect
of the franchise scheme, but, so far as
he was able to judge, it oul have
no immediate effect on the representa-
tion of the Uitlanders in the first volks-
raad, and he was not certain the Uit-
landers would be able TO carry any
of the new seats allotted to them in the
Rand until a very much later date.
The Seventy-third battery of artil-
lery has been ordered to South Africa,
making the fifth battery Of field artil-
lery now under orders for the cape. All
the gun carriages of these batteries are
being painted to match the local col
ors. Thirty machine guns were ship
ped to the Transvaal.

There seems to be but little hope of
successfully combating the criminal
combines Of the country through a bus
mess combination Of the farmers. The
trusts must be reached and dealt with
by the strong arm of the law and it
IS IN this direction that a combination
OF the farmers. Together with others who
are suffering from the grinding grasp
OF the trusts, will count. Trusts will
be on OF the big issues in the next cam
palgn. The republican party has all
a!ssng fostered the organization of The
oppressive combines and while it is
likely that that party will attempt to
stem the tide of public wrath by in
cooperating antitrust sentiments in
its national platform, it cannot blot
out its past record OF inflicting these
iniquities upon the people, and it will
be recognized as the champion Of the
rnholy combines.-Wjnston Sentinel.

FORGED POLICY DISCOVERED
A North Carolina Man Buncoed by a
Rewritten Document


The New York Journal of Commerce
of July 10th says:
THE arrest of an insurance man in
a North Carolina town for alleged
cheating of livery stable keepers arous-
ed the suspicion of a merchant in
Woodsdale, N. c., who had obtained a
policy from him and he commenced an
investigation as to fits value. 1t turned
out to have been originally issued by
the LOndon Assurance on DanyiHe, Va,
property and to have been cleaned off
by the use of chemicals and rewrft-
ten for the Woodsdale property owner.
As the culprit was not the agent of
the London, II is, of course, not in any
way liable for the return premium.
The victim is fortunate in not being a
loss claimant"
The new insurance law Of North Car
DINA requires every agent to hold a
certificate from the insurance commits
sioner and to produce it upon demand.
Persons when placing their insurance
should see ITO it that they deal only
with reputable firms n there would
n e be no danger of being victimized
as the merchant in Woodsdale was.
Some property owners under the I'M
preston that they are obtaining cheap
insurance, will accept policies from bro
kers in other cities. Contracts under
such policies cannot be enforced in any
North Carolina court and the state is
defrauded of its proper tax on pre-
miumS paid under them.

Correspondence Of The Messenger.)
Lumberton, N. c., July II.
: The criminal court, Judge Battle pre-
siding, adjourned here yesterday after
being in session n week.
The most important case tried was
the State VS. Dockery MCLAUGHLIN, for

fenced the prisoner to be hung August
10th. An appeal has been taken to the

Judge Battle sustained his reputa-
ton as an able and just judge. No

ton here. Everybody is impressed
with his sterling qualities, and real jul
dicial temperament.
The work on the Carolina and North
ern railroad is progressing rapidly. A
survey north of Lumberton has been
made in the direction of Fayetteville.
A large force of convicts arrived yes
terday to commence the grading of the

For an Editor TO Recommend Patent
Medicines?

(From Sylvan Valley News, Brevard,
N. c.
1t may be a question whether the
editor of n newspaper has the right to
publicly recommend any of the various
proprietary medicines which flood the
market, yet as a preventive of suffer-
ing we feel it a duty to say a good
word for Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy. We have
known and used this medicine in our
family for twenty years and have al
way found it reliable. In many cases
a dose Of this remedy would save hours
Of suffering while a physician is await
ed. We do not believe in depending
implicitly on any medicine for a cure,
cat we do believe that if a bottle Of
Chamberlain's Diarrhoea Remedy were
kept on hand and administered at the
inception of an attack much suffering
might be avoided and in very many
cases the presence of a physician would
not be required. At least this has been
our experience during the past twenty
years. For sale by r r. Bellamy.

KENTUCKY REPUBLICANS
The state Conventfon-The Fight Over
~olniuaIfOn for Governor

Lexington, KY, July 1.-THE repub-
lican state central committee met to-
night with ten of the eleven members
present. Congressman Vincent Bore
ing, of London, was selected as tempo
rary chairman of the convention, n
K. j. Hampton, of Winchester, as Sec
rotary. Both are strong Taylor men.
1t is understood that Judge George
Denny, of Lexington, another Taylor
man, will be permanent chairman. A
delegation of prominent colored men
were given a hearing by the committee.
They protested against the nomination
of General Taylor and were advised
that the committee had nothing to do
with nominations.
Immediately after the state commit
tee selected Taylor men for the tempo
rary organization of the convention, the
leaders of Stone and Pratt and other
anti-Taylor men went into a secret
conference and remained together till
IL o'clock, reviewing the situation.
They heard reports from all the coun-
ties and found that if all contests were
decided against Taylor that he would
still have a majority of 125 over all.
AT this conference it was decided
that the names of Stone and Pratt
would not be withdrawn in favor Of j.
w. Yerkes, Daniel Lindsay, Judge
Barr on any others mentioned for anti
Taylor men to on. This
conference decided to meet again at 9
o'clock tomorrow morning to decide
more definitely on a plan of procedure
OF the convention. The Taylor men
claim this is simply a movement in the
interest of the Lexington people to pro-
long the convention over until Thurs
! day.

Protest Of Chinese Consul General.
registry for spaniards remaining ON
the Island


havana, July 1.-THE Chinese con-
sui general has filed a strong objection
to the decision of Governor General
Brooke hat commercial treaties be-
tween Spain and other foreign countries
do not apply to Cuba, as was formerly
n case, n h future treaty ar
engagements must be made with the
United States in the name Of Cuba. The
ground of objection is his fear of i'm
migration restrictions. Under the old
regime Cinnamon were admitted and
immigration encouraged, and they are
land, employed principally as house SER
wants, though many work on the plan
tations and in the sugar mills, where
they have proved excellent help. In h
opinion of the Chinese consul general
h arrangement Of long standing ought
not to be disturbed, especially as Cuba
Is so much in need Of labor.
Many Cubans object to admitting the
Chinese, owing to the extreme suscepti-
bility of the latter to leprosy. A large
percentage of the inmates of the leper
hospitals are of Chinese origin.
At today's meeting of the members
IA ~ ooNloOA ~ oNhcA OeRON~b
secretary of government. presented for
General Brooke's approval his draft OF
the proposed decree for the creation of
a registry, to be used by Spaniards re-
siding in the island who wish to retain
their nationality, as provided in the
treaty of Paris, which directs that
those VIII do not within a rear file in Il
court of record a declaration of such
intention shall be held ITO have accept
ed the status of Cubans.
According to a dispatch from Tunas
the United States troops there recent
ly killed a Spanish bandit and an ex-
guerrilla named Francisco Lopez, who
was attempting to escape after resist
ing capture.
Andrew Fuller, Julian Baker and Ed
win Campbell, American civilian clerks
in the quartermaSter's department at
Cienfuegos, who were implicated in the
recent ARRAY there between the Amerl-
cans and Cubans, have been'ordered to
return to the United States by the
