A MARYLAND HUSTLER
Mr.. Z. Augustus Butler a Representative
Young Business Man of Annapolis,
Md.-A Howard Graduate-His Busl-
ness Career and Success.

Annapolis, Md, pecial.-The future
of the AfrO'American depends very
largely upon the character and sterling
qualities of the young men. They are
the builders. They are the architects
who are to lay the foundation and su-
perstTucture. The old axiom that q
boy must be born poor and in penury
In order to become great does not hold
good in this Aladdin age. Merit wins
every time and success is not always
measured by previous conditions. Mr..
u. Augustus Butler the subject of this
article was born on the 18th day of
October, 1873. He was taught at home
during bis youth but afterwards enter
ed the public schools. At twelve he
began his business career as book.
keeper in his fathers Office. At fifteen
he entered Howard University, from
which he graduated in 1900. During
his stay there he distinguished himself
both in studies and athletics. Mr..
Butler carrie d on real estate business in
Washington and Baltimore last year.
On the 9th of June, 1900, he vent to
Annapolis and built a mammoth store.
This store was opened on the 9th of
July with six separate departments,
namely, grocery, dry goods, clothing.
shoe, stationery, and crockery depart
ments. Since then he has added hat
and candy departments. A lunch coun'
ter has also been added. He employ
three saleslsdies and one salesman.
The store is lighted by electric lights
and uses the cash system. 1t is the
largest business house owned by col
Ored individual in Maryland.
Mr.. Butler is shrewd business man
and a financier Of tie first class. All
young men should feel inspiration by
his success. He is favOrlte in socie'
ty, but believes in business first and
pleasure afterwards. Men like Mr.,
Butler are needed in building up the
financial condition of the race. There
ought to be an Afro American Coun
Gil organized in Annapolis.

BIG BATTLE AROUND LADYsMITH

Last Saturday the Beers made a
desperate attempt to capture the
beleagured city. The battle ragged
fercely all day with VARYING success
till late in the day a bayonet charge
by the Ist Devonshires, led by Col.
c. w. Park, cleared the field of
Beers.
1t was terrific battle, with the
British fighting behind breastworks
but outnumbered nearly two to one.
The greatest bravery was displayed
on either side. At times the Eng
lish we're driven back and their in
trenchments occupied by the as
saulting Beers, but the British
would return to the attack and
drive their assailants back. The
loss of life on both sides must have
been severe.
Although the Beers were finally
driven back it must have been at
heavy loss to the British.
The garrison is lily prepared to
stand heavy drain on its supply of
men or ammunition and unless rein
forcements reach the city very soon,
Ladysmith must fall into the hands
of the Beers with all il contains,

THE WAR IN LUZON

Our forces in the island have been
making steady progress and have
completely scattered the insurgents.
They have been so closely pressed
on every hand that they have been
compelled to abandon all their
Spanish prisoners and the few
Americans held by them. Lieut..
Gilmore and his comrades have
been rescued and are safe IN Ma
Mia.
A vigorous campaign is being
made in the territory south of Ma
Mia where the insurgents were gath
ering and several towns captured
after sharp fighting in which many
Filipinos were killed, wounded
and captured and the balance put
to fight. Our forces are securing
the country, scattering the rebels in
every direction.
A desultory guerilla warfare may
be carried on for some time to
come but the heavy work is done.
The ports of Luzon are opened to
trade and commerce is becoming
somewhat active. Thousands of
Filipinos are returning to their farms
and asking the protection of the
Americans.

The Great Presidential Campaign of 1900.

The wars of America have, hereto
fore settled affairs Of state. Great
questions of policy, of national mo-
tlves and national conclusions have
been answered as soon as the battle
smoke cleared away, and the victor
realized his victory. The war with
Spain is unlike its predecessors. 1t
has not answered questions but has
created problems which may not be
solved lightly. These problems are
being formulated by the political par
ties, and before they can be definitely
settled at the ballot box it is neces-
sary that the people be informed in
regard to the situation. The result of
the campaign OF 1900 will make
broad mark upon the page of history;
it will doubtless establish the policy
of the great Republic Of America for
a quarter of century. 1t is vastly
important, therefore, that every citi-
zen shall study the situation through
that best of mediums, agreat news
paper. The most reliable newspaper,
the best newspaper is The Semi.
Weekly Republic which affords
comprehensive view of the political
situation In all its bearings. 1t pub
fishes the news. The Semi Weekly
Republic is a Democratic paper, but
it offers to its readers the news re-
garding all the political parties, and
this without prejudice. 1t is a fair
newspaper. Its telegraph and cable
news service has been proven to be
the best employed by modern paper.
It's special features are unsurpassed.
1t is the newspaper for the reader
who has not access to a daily paper.
News features, art, and literature
combine to make the Republics Sun
day Magazine specially attractive
weekly magazine. The balf-tOne il
Illustrations printed in this magazine
surpass anything ever attempted by a
newspaper. These products Of pho
Biography are worth the price OF the
paper. Special articles by trained
writer's on the news and the subjects
engaging the public attenti n are
prepared for The Republics Sunday
Magazine. A distinctly useful and
attractive feature OF this magazine is
the fashion department. Always re-
liable and up with the times, the la
dies find the fashion page delight.
Indeed, The Republics Sunday Mag
azine appeals to every member OF the
family.
Tie subscription price of the Semi
Weekly Republic is Sl00 per year.
The Republic Sunday Magazine Sl.25
per year. Both papers are now being
offered at the very low price of $3.50
for one year. To secure this low rate
both must be ordered and paid for at
the same time.
