train of the Norman conquerors. Its

whose exploits still lives in the chroni-

ally to crush his opponents.
In one OF the feuds which were Of
perpetual recurrence In those times he
encountered the Count de Tourain In .
pitched battle. and. SO runs the story.
In the first onset Colin MaIllard lost
both his eyes.
He ordered his esquire TO take him In
the thickest OF the fight, and. furiously
brandishing his mallet. did such fear
full execution that victory soon declar-
ed itself for him.
When Robert Of France heard Of
these feats Of arms. he lavished favor
and honors upon Colin. and so great
was the fame of the exploit that 1t
was commemorated In the pantomimic
representation that formed part Of the
rude dramatic performances of the
age. By degrees the children learned
to act IL for themselves. and it took
the form of a familiar sport.

COMING EARLY.

We notice many new faces
in town already and it seems
that our winter season is a
few weeks ahead this year.
Fact is. Southern Pines is be-
coming 50 we'll known and our
improvements are so substan-
tial that we may soon expect
a steady population of people
enough to make a town Of
5000 people.

THE TOWN BOOKLET.

An underta king which has
somewhat taxed the small
force employed in this office,
was the publication of the
new booklet, under the super
vision of the City Commission
ers. To start with, we had to
secure about 40 photographs,
which, with the number we
had on hand, will make a to-
tai of so illustrations which
have been inserted. 1t has
taken $50 pounds of enameled
book paper, besides the cover,
and in order to print it as we
wished it, we have had to
make about 100000 impress
sions.
You will see the result of
our labors about the middle
of next week, and while we
do not say it in a boastful
manner, there are few towns
the size of Southern Pines
having an office in which the
book could be produced.
We know how many imper-
feCtions there are in the work,
at the same time if you have
any criticisms to make do not
be bashful-let them come.
We are satisfied, however,
that this book will prove a
splendid advertisement for

There is more Catarrh in this section Of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it local
disease, and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a consti-
tutonal disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh

Which the English are En-
gagged i'm.

While the news from China con-
-tlnues 10 completely versbadow
events IN South Africa, these have by
no means ceased to be worthy of rec
ord. When it is understood that
the last months casualties, from
june 9th to July 5th, amounted to
over 5000 men, including 1900
deaths, it will be realized that the
latter chapters of the war, though
comparatively unheralded, have been
terribly grim. The measure of the
organized Boer resistance is evidently
no criterion of what the cost will be
TO Great Britain in precious lives.
Unless Lord Roberts is planning some
move of which the news is carefully
kept secret, it seems that there are
still weary weeks of guerilla fighting
ahead of the British forces.

THE PLATFORM.

The CITIZEN is very mich 6isap-
pointed that the question of silver
coinage at the ratio of Is to / was
specifically demanded in the Kansas
City platform. We takeit, however,
with the best grace, knowing as we'll
as we do that he who expects every
thing that he asks for in politics
will isnguish of disappointed life.
1t is hardly necessary to say that our
desires on this line were based purely
upon Z vieT to party policy. AS we
have time and again stated, we
believe that the party would have
had an easier fight and.a successful
issue out of it all. That is still our
opinion; but the delegates at Kansas
City-or, rather, Mr.. W. j. Bryan
thought otherwise, and their iudg-
ment in the matter should and will
be accepted as the best,
The remainder of the platform is
all that Democrats, without excep-
ton, can desire. 1t is a heroic
document. because it fearlessly
attacks the giant evils which are
threatening and already engulfng
our Republic. There is no tenn PORTING
with existing evils and no palliating
the crimes of those high in the conn
ellis of any party; no placating the
arrogant and controlling money
power or making concessions to vote
controlling monopolists. 1t is a
document that warns before it
strikes and then strikes for keeps.
No man of mind can halt and stand
with one foot upon 1t, hesitating
what to do next; be must stand
squarely upon it and take it all or
leave it alone There is no hating
now between two opinions. The
Republican platform may offer some
of the same results but all have
learned that that document was
never made to abide by. In, the
great contrast between the two there

TROUBLES IN CHINA.

In the several engagements the
small American contingents have
distinguished themselves. BY COM
mon consent the British are close be-
side them. Americans lead every
movement.
There is no longer any doubt that
disaster has over,aken u Russian army
of 5000 men who left Tien Tsin for
Pekin under General Stlllo on June
llth with full field equipment and
their own transport.
Reports of the atrocities commit
ted by Prince Tuan upon the Chinese
are appalling. He had 1000 lead
ing Chinese batchered, it is said, for
merely daring to petition him to con-
troll the orgie of blood and restrain
his followers.
With the foreigners in Pekin
probably safe amid civil war with
Prince Ching on their side. with the
powers united and their forces con-
stantly increasing, the outlook in
China is now rather more hopeful
than it has been for month past.
Advices from Chefu are that the
fighting around Tientsin july 3rd
and 4th was the hottest yet expe-
rienced. The British forces had 80
men killed. Chinese troops number
ing $4,000 attacked the city from
three sides. The defenders had
$4,000 men. A Russian company of
infantry was nearly wiped out, hav-
ing ll5 men killed and wounded.
The Germans, too, lost heavily.
Big Army for China.
The allied force at Taku and Tien
Tsin now consists of $4,000 men.
The reinforcements under orders con-
sst of $4,000 japanese troops, 10 900
Germans, $4,000 Russians, II 900
Americans, 10000 British, 5000
French and $500 Italians. The
Japanese corps will be commanded
by "a Lieutenant. General, and so far
as known he will be the ranking
officer, entitled to command the en-
tire force.
AS result of thorough con-
sideration orders were issued by the
U. S. Government Saturday for the
dispatch of 1884 regular troops to
the Philippines, with view to their
utilization in China in case it is
found necessary to divert them TO
that country.
