vive. it would hold its place forever
in the worlds military annals. For
Britain the war has brought the
certainty of the loyalty and enthusi-
astic support of its colonies in all
parts of the world.
1t was through the power of num-
bers that the British Empire was en-
abled to crush the burghers of the
Transvaal and the Orange Free State.
Figures of regiments and soldiers, as
well as of dead and missing, cannot
easily be obtained for a long and
many-sided war until months after
the last gun has been fired, but from
the best sources obtainable it seems
that Great Britain had 100000 soldiers
of all arms in the field, while against
them there struggled in the united
Boer forces an effective force Gf So
900 men. more or less. The number
of able bodied Beers has been vari
ously estimated. however. at all the
way from 10000 to 100000, and the
definite figures are largely a matter
of guesswork. When it comes to the
losses those of the Beers cannot be
learned by any reliable means avail
able outside Of the Transvaal itself.
The losses of the British in killed,
wounded. missing and invaded
home. are not far from 10000. OF
those about one-third were invalided

The president and directors of the
Greater Seaboard Railway System will
be in the city today. In behalf of the
people of Raleigh we welcome them
most heartily. Their coming, with
the road they represent, means much
for Raleigh, for North Carolina and
for the South. 1t adds another
through line from the Potomac to
the Gulf of Mexico, in competition
with the Southern railway. and it is Il
very important event in the develop
ment of the industrial and CONNER
cial interests of this section. We
therefore. bid YOU welcome, gentle
men of the Seaboard. and only regret
that your stay among us will not
be longer.
Don't forget the primaries today.
1t is the duty of every Democratic
voter in the county to cast his ballot
for good and true men to represent
him in the county offices and in the
Legislature. The primaries in the
county will be held this afternoon.
Those in the city will be held from
{ o'clock this morning to $3.50 tonight.
In the official call published else
where in this paper will be found the
voting places, also the places for the
precinct meetings after the polls are

throttle wide open, and struggled
upward. Victory is in sight.
At last he is at the top. Let the

pole into the arms Of his friends. A
proud, exultant people proclaimed his
praises in loud huzzas. The news Of
his feat spread like wild fire. Hadji
Mohammed womolol Kiram, Sultan
of Sulu, telegraphed his congratula
tions. President Mckinley was noti-
fed. Mr.. Crisp is being lionizcd by
society at present.
1t has even been suggested that the
city coat Of arms bear the picture Of
Crisp climbing the pole. Dates about
the City building will hereafter be
regulated by the great event. Ana
note how reasonable his price for do
ing this act is--only So n day. A pole
should be erected in Perkins park, and
Crisp be made give exhibitions every
day. He should earn his salary one
way, il not another.
All the children are singing:

CHIEF HARRISON
Gives Some Information Relating to
Humane Laws.

There is mistaken idea among the
public relative to the humane laws OF
the state. The following information
ON the subject is given by Chief OF
Police Harrison:
"What have to say about humane
society? Well, let me see. The fact
of the matter is this: The people in
general are the best humane society
we can have, and without whose CO.
operation a society of that kind is
without backing, and, actually,
amounts to nothing.
"There is plenty of good law Oh thi5
matter and any complaint made to
this department in proper form VIII
receive prompt attention, but it is al
most impossible to get any ono to file
an affidavit In cases Of this kind, and
without which 1t is impossible to COM
mence an action against any one.
"The majority Of people have an
idea that all they have to do is to re-
port the matter to some officer by tel
ephone and that 1t then becomes his
duty to 60 and make the arrest and
convict, without even SO much az call

The engineer misunderstood the signals
and there was frightfnl railroad collis-
ion, with terrible loss of life. The whole
country was appalled, by that accident.
There is doubtless far greater loss Of
life occurring every day, in various sec.
tions Of the country, for which the only
excuse is,---" the doctor didn't under
stand the symptoms" These cases are
not the subjects Of special inqucot or the
country would be aghast at the sacrifice
of life to ignorance.
It has been the experience of DR.. r. v.
Pierce and his staff of assistant physi-
clans, that ninety eight out of every
hundred persons submitting to their
treatment can be cured. People given
up by the local physicians, weak, erna
ciated, with stubborn coughs and bleed
ing lungs have been absolutely cured by
the use of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery.
Sick people are invited to consult Or.
Pierce by letter free. All letters are
held as strictly private and treated as sa-
credly confidential. Answers are mailed
in plain envelopes without any printing
