THE BoERs CAPTURED 200 MEN.
It Looks Like Concerted Attempt to Retake
Pretoria.
(By the Associated Press.)

London July (Friday)-Lord Rob-
erts' dispatch reporting still another nn-
fortunate occurrence throws a serious
light upon the state of affairs in South
Africa. There has been some comment
recently regarding the virtual absence
of progress by the immense army under
have been found to believe that the scat
tered Beers were able to inf1ict such a
defeat so near Pretoria.
Instead of the surrender of all of the
remaining Beers being imminent, as re-
cent kilograms had limited, it seems they
have been making a concerted attempt
to surrouRd, or re-capture Pretoria, with
so much success that in the region which
was supposed to be pacifled, and in which
no attack was expected they succeeded
in inficting a serious defeat and captur-
ing two guns and some 200 men. 1t is
evident that General Botha has a con-
siderable force, seeing that he is able
to press Lord Roberts line at a half
dozen points around Pretoria, from the
Springs to the Southeast of the city,
northward to Middleburg and Durdepoort,
and thence southwark to Nitral's Mex and
Krugersdorp.
Lord Roberts omits to give the name
Of the commander concerned, giving rise
to the belief that worse remains to be
told. Even if the mishap be not more
grave than his information at present i'm
plies, it proves that the situation is still
serious and that there is no possibility
of any troops being spared from ~outh
Africa for China but, on the contrary,
that if will still take a long time tn clpa r
the country of the Beers.
News has reached London that Lord
Roberts has been suffering from a seri-
Gus bowel complaint, and that Lady Rob-
erts was hurredly summoned from Bloem-
fontein. Lord Roberts, though now bet
ter, is still weak.

"A Crowd of Us Are Coming to be Registered

Especial to News and Observer.)


Winston Salem, n. c., July 12.-On
Saturday the 9TH inst, when the regis
trar for Eldorado township, Mont
gomery county, opened his books at
Ohir, the polling place, six men, three
white and three black, presented
themselves armed with rifles and shot
guns for registration. These men COW
cred the registrar with their guns and
forced him to enter their names On his
book without having the proper ques-
tons asked them, and without any
chance to know whether they were
qualified electors or not. They had
not previously presented themselves
for registration nor had they at any
time been refused registration.
Warrants were Immediately sworn
out for their arrest, but up TO yester-
day they had not been apprehended.
At Mt. Gilead, n. c., negro man
went to the residence of Mr.. Jesse
Hayward, the registrar for Mt. Gilead
precinct, called Mr.. Hayward's wife to
the door and told her that he desired
to leave message for her husband.
The message was as follows:
"Tell Mr. Haywood that we have al
ready sent two Democratic registrars
to the penitentiary for refusing to
register negroes; that a crowd of us
are coming to be registered next Sat
uTdaV and that if he refuSeST us we
will send him to worse place than
the pententiary.
The above information is given by
a citizen of Montgomery county, now
in the city.

Fayetteville, n. c., July 12.-The fol-
lowing is a copy of n letter received by
Mr. w. M. Pope, registrar of election
in Black River township:
"Mr. Pope, Goodwin, n. c.:
Considering you as a registrar in this
coming election the Government Depart
ment has been informed that up to the
present time that you haven't registered
single man in Black River township in
which township you are registrar accord
ing to law. Being you haven't sworn
even a single man you will please con-
slider this false registration is controlled
by the Lederal laws, and they are very
severe, more so than the laws of the w.
& w. r. r. Co. Your ways of registra-
tion will be visited and looked into by a
U. S. Commissioned men, and if he gets
the evidence that you have registered
these men unlawful you may look out.
Read section 5S05 of the U. S. and you
will see the verdict. This report will be
investigated at once, and you will have
trouble on your hands. So now be honest
and register these men according to law.
A WORD TO THE WISE IS SUFFICIENT
AND A FOOLISH MAN CAN SEE THE
ERROR OF THERE WAY WHEN 1T IS
TOO LATE"
The above is a verbatim copy, under
scoring and all, and is unsigned 1t is
supposed to have been instigated by a
Sampson county anti-white politician.
Mr.. Pope is one of the best and most
intelligent citizens of the township, and
is proceeding to do his duty as directed
by law. This contemplate attempt to
bulldoze and scare an honest man will
have no effect. Of course the charges
are not true. Mr.. Pope will not register
1S-year- old negroes or eX-convicts, but
will register every man who is entitled
to register. At one precinct an 1S-year-
old negro presented himself to register.
The registrar knew that last year when
he was summoned to work the roads he
escaped upon the plea that he was not
liable, as he was not IS years old. OF
course he did not register. The Fusion
forces are making all kinds of threats
and one man is reported to have said
they were organizing band of $50 armed
men to intimidate the people.
Cumberland Democrats cannot be in
timidated. We are going to do our duty
and hold an election according to law,
and these "nigger lovers" might as well
understand it.

ALL DAY BATTLE WAGED

(By the Associated Press.)

London, July 12.-Lord Roberts reports
to the War Office under date of Pretoria
July 18th as follows
THE enemy, having failed in their at
tack upon our right rear, as mentioned
in my telegram of July 9th made a de-
'termined attack upon our right flank
yesterday, and l regret to say succeeded
in capturing Nitrals' Mex, which was gar
risoned by a squadron of the Scots Greys
with two guns and a battery of the Royal
artillery and five companies of the Lin
colnshire regiment.
THE enemy attacked in superior num-
bers at dawn, and seizing the hills COM
manding the nek, brought heavy gun
fire to bear upon the small garrison.
"Nitral's Mex is about Is miles from
here, near where the road crosses the
Crocodile River. 1t was held by us in
order to maintain road and telegraphc
communication with Rustenburg.
THE fighting lasted, more or less,
throughout the day, and Immediately on
receiving information early this morning
of the enemy's strength l dispatched re-
inforcements from here under Colonel
Godfrey, of the Kings Own Scottish Bor-
derers. Before, however, they reached the
spot the garrison had been oyerpowered
and the guns and a greater portion of the
squadron of the Greys had been captured
owing to the horses being shot also
ninety men of the Lincolnshire regiment.
"A list of the casualties has not been
received but l fear they are heavy.
Simultaneously an attack was made on
our outposts near Durdepoort, north of
the town, in which the Seventh Dragons
were engaged. The regiment was handled
with considerable skill by Lieutenant
Colonel Low, and kept the enemy in
check until they retired on their supports
and probably would have suffered but
slight loss had not our troops mistaken
some Beers in the bushes for our men.
Smith Dorrien had a successful en-
gagement with the enemy yesterday near
Krugersdorp and inflicted heavy loss on
them.

were destroying his line of railway near
Pardekraal, were driven off yesterday
after a short action.

terrible veil of silence enshrouds Pekin,
and there is nobody but believes the worst
, has happened. 1t is taken for granted
that all the powers have exhausted every
means to get direct news from their Le-
cations, and the fact that their efforts
have been vain leaves but one interpre-
tation.
The Chinese representative in Berlin
denies the statement that Lii Hung Chang
had sent to him hopeful telegram. He
says that, on the contrary no direct tele-
gram has been received by him from Ii
Hung Chang for some time past
The days news is again restricted to
the usual crop of untrustworthy Shanghai
rumors, the most serious Of which, re-
ported by the correspondent of the Ex-
press is to the effect that Europeans are
directing the Chinese military operations.
The correspondent asserts that Cap
tain Bailey Of H. M. S. Aurora, distinctly
saw man in European garb directing the
Chinese artillery operations outside o
Tien Tsin.
Foreign refugees from Tien Tsin open
ly accuse European official, whose name
the Express correspondent suppresses,
and Colonel Won Hannekan, who was
formerly employed to drill the Chinese
troops, of being parties to plot to pro-
cure the escape of General Chang and
themselves from Tien Tsin before the
bombardment leaving the other foreign
ers to their fate.
Statements are in circulation in Shang-
hal accusing the Russians of indiscrimi-
nate slaughter of friendly Chinese non
combatants, without regard to age or sex.
The manager of Chinese steamship
company. who has arrived in Shanghai,
asserts that he only escaped from Tien

Washington, July 12.-"On to Pekin, y
is the policy adopted by our Government.
1t is said that regardless of the issues
raised as to the\ authenticity of the late
Chinese note, or the accuracy of it's
statements of fact, or the question raised
as to the responsibility for the present
termined not to relax it's efforts to reach
Pekin, to get in touch with Mr.. Conger
if he is alive, to take the necessary
steps for the protection of American in
terests and in fact to do all these things
set out in Secretary Hays note to the
powers including a reckoning with the
person or persons responsible for the
outrageous events of the past six weeks.
Twenty four hours consideration of the
Chinese note leaves the officials here
convinced that it marks the beginning
nf a general effort Oil the part of Chinese
officials to relieve themselves from re-
sponsibility for the treatment of the
foreign Ministers and the fighting at Tien
Tsin.
The news from Tien Tsin of unsatisfac-
tory relations between the allied forces
goes to confirm the War Department Off
cials here in their original convictions
that two or three brigades of American
troops, veterans of the Indian wars, of
the Cuban campaign, and of the Philip
pine jungle hunts could have achieved
some valuable results by this time had
they been at Tien Tsin.
Colonel Discum's orders are broadly
framed, and, it is said at the War De-
partment that while he retains command
of his own men under all circumstances,
he may cooperate to any extent with the
allied forces.

ty, was in Winston today and said
that a dav or two ago three negroes
and three white men entered the Of
fee of registration in that county and
holding pistols at his head forced him
with threats of killing to register
them. OF course they were register
ed but Immediately upon their disap-
pearance their names were erased
from the books. Officers have been

men, but up to the time of Mr.. Steed's s
leaving here the officers had been un-

While in Springhope Monday we were
informed by some of the very best citi-
zens of that place that Marshbourne, the
Populist nominee for commissioner, is
making incendary speeches to the negroes
in Mannings and other adjacent townships
and urging the negroes to go to the polls
on August End and demand their right to
vote, and if there is opposition on the
part of any poll-holder, for the negroes
to use violence if necessary to thwart
the purpose of the amendment and the
white people of Nash.
other incendiary speeches are being
made throughout the county and it is
these very speeches which will eventually
cause the white men of Nash to drive
such men as Marshbourne and his negro
cohorts from the county.
1t was only recently a gang of negroes
and white Republicans were congregated
on our streets and discussing politics and
laying plans to carry out the dictations
of these hellish eace-disturbers. One
white man in the crowd, a Republican,
offered to supply them with Winchester
rifles and ammunition, and instructed
them to kill any white man who interfered
with their voting.

SNOWFALL, of Atlantic City, was recent
ly run over and had his back severely
injured. Feeling sure the dog would
die, the doctor began to experiment
with morphine. One morning he for
got to give the dog its injection. Tt
crept into the office and lay at the
doctors feet. He was unable to IN
derstand its queer antics. Finally it
crawled to the medicine chest from
which he had taken the morphine,
and, looking up at the ciIest, it began
to whine. DR.. Snowfall wondered if
the dog was really trying to make
him understand that it wanted it's in
lection. He took the injector and
morphine from the chest. When the
dog saw the implement it barked glad
ly and lay on its back, whining for
the doctor to inject the drug.

Bush's escapades are not agreed in
opinion about them. Some regard the
incident as joke. Others are inclined
10 be indignant that a man should be
so indifferent TO n girls pride. One
young woman said:
He is worse than vivisectionist,
because physical pain can be allayed
by opiates, but for serious heart
wounds there is no remedy"
Bush explained his experiments by
saying that he went no further with
any of the girls than many another
young man.
Il did not carry matters so far as to
make proposal to any of the girls
Bush said. 1T was not necessary. Any
of the things may have done am sure
were perfectly permissible and not diff
ferent than others are in the habit OF
doing with their girl friends"
Bush says the girls have done him
an injustice in asserting that he heart
lessly made them the subjects of ex-
periments, but there were at least 10
of the young women who stated posi-
lively that the young mans courtships
had no other purpose than to garner
psychological data for thesis which
will be handed to the head of the de-
partment in a few weeks
