build a school house, a committee
having been appointed at a previous
meeting for locating and to present
plan for said building, a vote was
taken as TO the change in locality,
which resulted in 45 in favor of
moving to 81 opposed. The sub
scription plan of raising the money
was adopted. A committee was APP
pointed to solicit subscriptions, con-
sisting of Geo. Il. Webb, r. ID.
Whitley and S. N. Duncan. They
have nearly enough made up for the
building. The site has been Sc
lected in the George T. Webb wood
lot.

1t is very hard to stand idly by
and see our dear ones suffer while
awaiting the arrival of the doctor.
An Albany On. " dairyman called
at drug store there for a doctor to
come and see his child, then very
sick with Group. Not finding the
doctor in, he left word for him to
come at once on his return. He al
SO bought bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, which he hoped
would give some relief until the
doctor should arrive. In a few
hours he returned, saying the doctor
need not come, as the child was
much better. The druggist, Mr..
Otto Scholz, says the family has
since recommended Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy to thier neighbors
and friends until he has a constant
demand for it from that part Of the
country. For sale by w. J. Cox,

the following dispatch from
Lord Roberts:
"Paardeburg, Feb. p, z :45
a.m.-Gen. Cronje and all
of his force capitulated I'M
conditionally, at daylight,
and is now a prisoner in my
camp. The strength of his
force will be communicated
later. 1 hope that her Majes-
tvs government will consider
this event satisfactory, Occurr-
ing, as it does, on the anni-
versary of Majuba."
No one who did not know
of Gen. Cronje's surrender
would suspect from the APP
pearance of the town that
London was today celebrat-
ing the chief victory of the
war.
Not a flag is flying, and in
front Of the places where bull
letins are displayed to the
public, scarcely more than a
dozen people stop at a time
to read the news. Outside
of the War Office there is the
same absence of enthusiasm
which is due dou btless to the
drizzling rain.
In the War Office Hobbies,
when a clerk posted the news
of the surrender, quite a
crowd was waiting, and here
the tidings were hailed with
considerable enthusiasm. In
an incredibly short space of
time the news had spread to
all parts of London. At the
Mansion House, when the
news was posted, it was re-
ceived with great excitement
by the crowds of business
men hurting to their offices,
and cries of Bravo, Roberts!'
and "Majubal' were heard.
The Lord Mayor OfLondon
said to the correspondent of
the Associated Press that
while the surrender of Gen.
Cronje was a fOregone con-
clusion, the news was receiv-
ed with a great sense
of relief, and the general
result of the equalization, he
thought, would be the rapid
conclusion of hostilities.
At the Stock Exchange
there was much excitement
and cheering, but this quick
ly subsidized when the house
opened. Stocks opened with
an upward tendency but no
material improvement in
prices, and consols, strangely,
were slightly weaker.

The almost universal opin-
ion of the public is that the
new road law, passed by the
last legislature, is the most
abominable measure enacted
by that body, with the excep-
ton of that shameful dead
body bill" This new road
law bids fair to give the
people and the County I'M
told trouble.

We have saved many doctor bills
since we began using Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy in our home. We
keep a bottle open all the time and
when any of my family or myself
begin to catch cold we begin to use
the Cough Remedy, and as result
we never have to send away for a
doctor and incur a large doctor dill,
for Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
never fails to cure. 1t is certainly
a medicine of great merit and worth.

Boer Women Will Fight.

Illustrating the fearful possibili-
ties of the British campaign in the
Transvaal, Montagu White, the rep
resentative of the Beers, recalls one
chapter in the history of his adopt
ed country. The Beers were TREK
ing in the land of a savage tribe
when they received Overtures to at
tend peace council. Between 200
and 800 Of the burghers went to the
rendezvous. As they approached,
the chief sent word that as an evil
dence of good faith he must ask the
arms to be left behind. The Beers
consented TO this, and joined in the
powwow. owe are glad to well
come our BRETHREN" the chief be-
gan. As a signal he raised his
hand. The warriors seized their
clubs and Drained the entire party.
Then hurrying to the lager the
savages attacked it and massacred
the men. Two boys escaped and
ran to give the alarm to a third
party consisting mainly of women
and children. The women seized
arms, fortified the position and
then ensued perhaps the fercest bat
tie in the long record of Boer war
fare. Mr.. White says that the
Boer women are more determined
than the men in opposition to the
British. lie says that the bloodiest
fighting of the war is to be expect
ed when the British columns enter
the Transvaal aud the women of
the country take the guns with
which all of them are familiar, and

We trust that "Sidney" and

Bryan and Turley.

The name of Senator
Thomas B. Turley has been
suggested as a suitable one
for second place on the next
Democratic national ticket.

an from more than one mouth
yesterday.
Democrats from Alabama,
Mississippi, Arkansas and
Tennessee were in Memphis
yesterday, and the suggestion
was received with favor. Yes
terday while calling at The
Commercial Appeal office
Hon. c.. S. Collins, of Arkan-
sas, Judge Miller, of Missis-
sippi among other things dis
cussed the coming cam
paign. The question of the
vice-presidential nomination
came up. Mr.. Collins stated
that he had during the day
suggested the name of Sena-
tor Turley and that the sug-
gestion had been received
with marked favor. CAT the
last convention" said Mr..
Collins, ''the party leaders
devoted all attention to a
presidential nomination. The
nomination of Mr.. Bryan
came suddenly, and before
the delegates knew it they
were considering the nOmi-
nation of a vice-president.
The result was the selection
of Mr.. Sewall, and Mr.. Sewall
gave no strength to the tick
ct. 1t is generally held that
George Fred Williams is not.
available, he never wins. Mr..
Sulzer is not taken seriously.
Altgeld is feared. Carter
Harrison is hated by the Alt
geld crowd in Illinois. And
thus the objections run.
'This year there is a dis
position to 60 to the South
for a vice-presidential candi-
date, and to take that candi-
date from Tennessee or North
Carolina.
Senator Turley is avail
able. He was a gallant Con-
federate soldier, and the lead
ing Democrats believe that
the day is here when North
ern voters no longer hold |
that service in Confederate
army is a bar to oficeholding. |
Turley is known to bea great
lawyer, and in line with what
is believed will be the plat
form. His position in the
senate has given him national
reputation"
These are the reasons urg-
ed by Mr.. Collins and others.
In the afternoon a reporter
for the Commercial Appeal |
discussed the matter with a
number of the leading Dem
Ocrats who were here to do
honor to Mr.. Bryan, and
every one looked with favor
on the suggestion.-Commer-
cial Appeal of Tuesday.
