Resolutions of Regard.

Charles w. Haskell received last night
a very handsome set of sngrossed 1880
lutions from Leadville Lodge, No. 236
Brotherhood Of Patriotic Order of Elks
The resolutions were given to Mr..
Haskell because ct the prese q tation to
the lodge by him of flag OF Spain, cap
tured by the a Americans at Manila
The flag is known as q black flag and
was raised by the Spanish in their wars
ag inst the natives and meant extermi-
nation.
Mr.. Haskell came into possession Of
two of the flags while he was in charge
of the arsenal at Manila. One of them
he presented to Colonel McCoy OF the
regiment and the other to the lodge Of
Elks
The lodge OF Elks at Leadville was
very kind to the Leadville companies, Of
which Mr.. Haskell was a member AT
one time they raised s175 and sent it
over for the boys to have Thanksgiv-
ing dinner and in other ways ren.em-
bered their home companies when out in
service.
Mr. Haskell is quite proud OF the res
olutions which are beautifully engrossed
and will always be cherished by him a.
an evidence OF the marked consideration
given his present by the Leadville Elks
and citizens.
The following is copy o. the resolu-
tions: -..
Whereas, On Friday evening, January
18th, 1900, Mr.. Charles W. Haskell,
rendered to Leadville Lodge No. 236 B.
P. o. E., a Spanish flag captured on the
field of war. by our patriotic soldiers,
f,om our late enemies, and
Whereas. Said presentation was ac-
compsnied by an expressi IN OF apprecia-
tion Of some few kindly good offices
which said. Lodge had shown toward
the brave boys at the front. and
Whereas, 1t is the desire of said
Leadville lodge in some way to show
that it appreciates both the flag and the
sentiment that prompted it's giving,
therefore be it t
Rssolved-That these resolutions be
offered, spread on the minutes and that
a copy OF them suitably enRrossed be
sent to Mr.. Charles w. Haskell with the
best " is hes os the entire membership Of
Leadville Lodge No. 236 B. P. o. e. Be
it further
Resolved-That in 10 doing it is the
hope Of the Lodge that tho example of
illustrious patriotism, displayed in the
capture Of said flag, will be the conduct
that shall ever characterize the Ameri-
can Soldier when he goes forth to battle
for the honor Of his native Land.

THE FIGHT GOES ON.

London Lord Roberts has not yet
bsatep Cronje. That South African hon
still holds the British army at bay with
dogged desperation that all Europe ad-
miree. trt
The latest dispatches throw little light
on the situation. They indicate, how
ever, that two battles are going on in
Orange Free State, between Gen. Kitch-
ener and General Cronje at Koodoosrand
and the other between Roberts and De-
wet near Pet usourg -.@
Probably Kitchener's terrible lombard
ment OF Cronje's laager deplsted his am
munition and explains the delay; for, il
it is true that Cronje is in the bed Of the
river and that the British guns have
been raining lead upon him for week
his entire force would have besn wiped
out.
Berlin has a rumor that Cronje has es-
capped. This is possible, but not prob
able. The Beers might have sneaked up
the river bed under cover Of the brush
wood and smoke, but it does net seem
likely that they could have done 30 with
out Kitchener learning Of it.
Roberts has q ticklish job in hand.
Commandants D.wet, Prinsloo and
Botha are hur'ying many Thousands Of
men to Cronje's relief and it devolves
upon Roberts to prevent them from
reaching the lager.
How m my men Roberts can oppose to
them no one here knows. But it is
probable the Boers have mustered r.
900 or 1900 men to oppose him, and
every day that passes increases their
strength.
Meanwhile Butler is fiudinR his path
to Ladysmith by no means ono Of roses.
Joubsrt and Scbalkburger we're in COM
mand there at la.t accounts, and they
are fighting him vigorously. ,
The rumors Of the relief of Ladysmith
are evidently false. Ihe Boers are in

AS THE ANeLo-sAxoN SEES TT.
Editor Maxwell Refers I'm Strong
Terms to Colonel Recent
Letter to sheriff Wright.

The Anglo-Saxon, published at Rock
ingham, prints this week Colonel A.
NJ. waddells recent letter to Sheriff
Wright, in which denial is made Of the
report that recently forty or fifty
white men were discharged at a cot
ton compress in this city and negroes
substituted and that Colonel Waddell
had championed the cause of the ne
recent issue of The Messenger. Com
menting upon the matter, The Anglo
Saxon says:
"Of course the noisy populist is not
the author of this falsehood. 1t sounds
very much like it might have come
out Of the columns of The Caucasian.
But wherever it originated, we cannot
understand why any white man should
find it c~ongenial employment dissent
mating such stuff and showing thereby
that his sympathies are with the in
famous gang which was driven out of
Wilmington in 1898 instead of with the
good white people who now govern
that city, in law and order, and with
decency. How any intelligent
man will elect to oppose the constitu-
tional amendment, wen by fair means,
much less by such methods as this,
when it is the only safe guarantee OF
a continuance of this good govern
ment in Wilmington, as well as in
Richmond and numerous other coun-
ties in the state-the only safe guar
antee against a return to government
by the Manlys and Harry Quicks."

Questions
for
gHorraen

If you were offered sure aid in time
of trouble would you put it aside
and accept something of doubtful
efficiency?
If you saw before you a strong and
safe bridge leading to your goal. would
you ignore IL 70 try some insecure anG
tottcring structure?
TIE answer to these questions is
plain. YOu would, of course, choose
without hesitation what all evidence
showed to be the safe thing. and You
would risk nothing in useless expert
ments.
Why. then. do some women risk one
OF their most precious possessions
their health-iD trying medicines of
unknown value. which NAV even prove
hurtful to them?
Lydia z. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound has stood the test of years. 1t
has the largest sale of any remedy for
female ills in the world. and nothing
could nave given it this sale except its
own merit.
Do not try any experiments, but buy
what is known to be reliable. Mrs.
Pinkham's Compound can do all that
is claimed for it, and all statements in
regard to it can be easily verified.
Write to Mrs. Pinkham al Lynn, Mass,
for a little book she has just published
containing letters from the may of
Lynn, the postmaster and others.
Mrs. Pinkham's advice is offered free
of charge to all women who write to
her for aid. This invitation is con
stantly renewed. A million women
have been cured of serious female ills by
Mrs. Pinkham's advice and medicine.

MeckIenburg's Vote in State Conven-
ton will be Cast SoIfdly for Him for
Corporation Commissioner.

Amen the action of the Wilmington
Chamber of Commerce Thursday in
endorsing Franklin Mcneil, Esq, the
present worthy incumbent, for re-elec-
ton as a member of the North Caro-
lima corporation commission, it will be
of interest to note that the report
which had gained currency here that
h Mecklenburg county convention
had endorsed James D.. Mcneil, of
Fayetteville, for the position, is erro-
neous. A member of The Messenger
staff saw a telegram yesterday from
Mr.. Charles w. Tillett, of Charlotte,
stating hat the initials 81. D." Nc
Neill, published in the Charlotte papers
We're erroneous, the mistake being due
to clerical error in the records of the
convention, and hat it was Franklin
McNeill whom the convention endorS-
ed and the vote of the Mecklenburg
delegation would be asst solidly for
him.
This being the case, as yet there
has not been a single move made to
introduce an opponent to Mr.. Mcneil
and very properly so, for he has made
IN admirable commissioner and has, as
chairman, directed the affairs of the
commission in a manner which has
won high commentator throughout
the state.

TRUCKING
Conference Yesterday Between Truck
ers' Association Executive Commit
tee and Express and Railroad Officials
Regarding Schedules.

There was a conference in this city
yesterday between the executive COM
mittee of the East Carolina Truck and
Fruit Growers Association, and Mr.. w.
J. Croswell, division superintendent of
the Southern Express Company, and
Mr.. J. r. Kenly, general manager Of
the Atlantic Coast Line, regarding the
schedules for special express and fast
freight trains.
1t will be of interest to note that
an arrangement has been a where
by during the busy season the special
express train which usually starts
from Wilmington about z a.. m. will
leave about the same hour in the eve
ming. 1t is thought that this will be
quite an advantage to truckers, both al
lowing them more time for picking and
putting the berries on the eastern mar
ket at a more seasonable hour at night
ready for the morning trade.
Members of the committee here yes
terday were Mr.. w. L. Hill, of War
saw; Mr.. J. S. Westbrook, of Faison;
Mr.. j. A. W~estbrook, of Mt. Olive; DR..
George F. Lucas, of Currie, and DR..

ton was adopted and a motion by
Donald MacRae, that the convention
take a recess until 3 o'clock for dinner
vas voted down.
Thereupon. Mr.. Meares addressed
the convention in explanation OF his
position. Limited space will not ad-
nit Of an extended report of the
speeches of either Mr.. Meares or Cap
tain Morton. And, too. from previ-
ously published statements Messenger
readers are doubtless thoroughly ia
miliar with the position OF both gentle
men.
Mr.. Meares made a vigorous pre-
~sentation of his case. insisting that
under the rules governing primary
elections in district matters, he should
have cast for him a vote in the sena-
torial convention proportionate with
the vote which he received in the pri-
mary. In other words, as he express
ed il. demanding a minority represen-
tation. Extended reference was also
a to the contest before the Bruins
wick county convention.
Captain Morton answered Mr.,
Meares in a thirty minutes speech. in
which he pressed his counter claim
that the fact of his receiving the ma
jorlty vote in the New pr1-
mary entitled him to the whole vote
Of the county in the senatorial con-
vention.
When the ten minute r~ejoinders had
been concluded, the question vas de-
clared open for general discussion, but
calls for the question prevailed and
the vote of the members of the con-
vention was taken by r~oll-call, the
vote being on the adoption or rejection
of the substitute to Mr.. Cooper's
motion, offered by Professor Catlett,
instructing the senatorial delegates to
divide their votes between Meares and
Motion. Professor Catlett's substitute
was lost by a vote of AZ to q, the con-
vention thereby declaring Captain
Morton the nominee for the state SEN
ate and instructing the delegates to
cast a solid vote for him.
T%hereupon the convention adjourned.
