Devereaux Shields, who returned on the
transport Hancock, has been invalided
home on account of two wounds received
in one of the most thrilling adventures of
the war in the Philippines.
Captain Shields and So men left Santa
Cruz, on the island of Maranduque, Sep
teinber II last for the purpose of recon-
noitering. Two days later they fell into
an ambush and were fired upon by about
$50 men with rifles, who were supported
by about 1000 men with bolos, Captain
Shields telling of the engagement said:
II saw that IT was impossible for us to
do anything but get out, and gave the
order to retreat. was twice wounded
and fell unconscious, but soon recovered
and then gave the order for the command
to fight its way back to the station.

an impeachment to them to leave me with
a man from the hospital corps and to get
out. dropped behind rice stack and
told the man to raise the white flag. The
instructors did not recognize the flag
and continued to fire at us. The men
fought their way back short distance
and were surrounded and had to surren-
der or be killed. After the instructors
cape to me one of them began robbing
me and took all my things. He tore a
chain and locket from my neck and tried
to tear the rings from my fingers. My
hand was SO swollen by the wound in the
shoulder that he could not get the rings
off, and he was just going to cut off the
hand when l made him understand that
could take them off. After he had
finished his robbery of another man he
was Jhst going to- shoot when l saw a
hand and arm come forward and strike
the gun. Immediately after the fight we
were kept in native novels for IL days,
and then we were started on march
over mountains, through dense forests
and across rivers, compelled to sleep in
mud and rain and given only the dirtiest
water with which to wash our wounds.
This continued until about October IL,

The Lament.

For our country we long had been
fighting,
For the land where fathers had
trod,
For Freedom, whose star had been
lighting
Our way through the darkness and
blood.
We bad heard of Columbia's story,
Of her struggle for freedom and fame,
We had zen through the distance the
glory
OF the halo surrounding her name.
And we welcomed her army Of strang.
erS,
OF strangers from over the sea,
And we saw in their coming no dangers.
For they came from the land of the freel
They came to Manila's fair city,
AS comrades and allies they came,
And with protests Of friendship and pity
Drove home the black cohorts of Spain.
But they come, not to free. but to bind
us,
To them, Oh. my beart. is it SO?
II so. they surely will find us
A bitter, implacabIe foe.
We have fought for no changs Of die.

We must fight until death, or prove

The Issues.

David B. Hill in a speech last Fri
day enumerated the issues in this cam
paign in the following concise manner
He said: "Our candidates represent
the interests of the average mantle
plain people of the Countrywide farm
or, the mechanic, the laborer. The is
sues this year are very plain, and can.
not be misunderstood.
"One party favors large standing ar.
mics. immense public expenditures, a
Government of grandeur and magni.
fcence, high protective tariffs, a Brit
ish colonial policy, great combinations
of corporate wealth and a centralized
government.
"The other party favors a contin-
uance of the plain and simple govern
ment of our fathers. public expendi-
lures limited to the actual necessities
Of the Government. tariff taxation for
public purposes only, an army for de-
fence and not for conquest, competi-
ton in business free from monopolistic
combinations"

While Vermont and Maine in their
September elections have given major
titles of about 80, 900 for the Republican
candidates yet the falling off of the Re
publican vote Of 10 per cent. and a
Democratic gain of % per cent. over
the vote in 1896, shows a favorable
drift to the Democrats. If that pro-
portion continues in hedoubtful states
of the central West Bryan and Steven
son will be surely elected. There Is no
reason why this should not continue
because there is no reason for a man to
change who voted for VIM. J. Bryan in
1896, while the new policies of imper.
ialism, which calls for q large standing
army and higher taxes and the increas-
ed prices raised by the Trusts furnish
good reasons for voting against Nc.

The net taxables this year show an
increase of $50, 7S6 in the county over
last year.
The heaviest loss Is in L. P. Neck,
SlS.452; the next in U. P. Neck, SIS,
200, caused by the shrinkage in farm
land. The greatest gain is in the East
Ward Salem; $52. 1862. The next is in
Penn's Grove S21 APO. This was caus.
ed by the building boom last year when
a dozen residences were built and the
increased taxation put on building lots
bought. which were formerly assessed
as farm land.
The County tax rate was fixed at 40c
