Mr.. A. V. Foote. of Wilkes,
has been substituted for Mr..
A. NJ. Vannov as one of the
Democratic candidates for the
Senate for this district, in
stead Of Mr.. H. L. Green. as
we. were incorrectly informed
lastweek.
To show the confidence felt
that the amendment will not
disfranchise any native white
man in North Carolina be-
cause he cannot read and
write, two bonds of 81, 200
each have been filed with the
county treasurer for the bene-
TT OF the common school fund.
The names to these bonds are
suttlClent guarantee that these
amounts will be paid over to
the school fnnd if any native
white voter is disfranChlsed.
Nothing could be fairer than
this. If there are any white
men IN the county who are
afraid to vote for the amend
ment on this ground, we re-
speCtfullv call their attention
to this bond. It can be taken
tor granted that these men
would not risk losing 50, 600 If
they had a shadow Of doubt
about the matter. Now let
the men who have been telling
the people that the amend
ment will disfranchise litter
ate white men, back up their
talk by making as good a bond
as those now in the hands of
the treasurer. If they de-
cline to do so, it will be con-
elusive evidence that they do
not believe what they have
been saying. If they make
the bond, the school fund is
to get $1,000.

as pots, pans and blankets, throwing their

swollen by heavy rain, the Beers took OF
their trousers and waded across. The scene
looked like play rather than war. The men

AN AMERICAN KILLED.
Fatal ARRAY in Mexico on Washingtons
Birthday.

Fatal ARRAY in Mexico on Washingtons
Birthday.
Guaymas, Mexico, (Special.)-On Wash
ington's Birthday shooting ARRAY occurred
at Piares de TERRA, In which one American
and five Mexicans were killed. From ac-
counts it appears that friendly feeling had
existed at Pilares, and In order to do honor
to the United States it was arranged on Feb
ruary % to raise the flags OF the two repub-
lies together on the flagstaff.
The Mexicans had charge OF the affair,
and raised the American flag above the
Mexican, to the complete satisfaction of the
Americans. But when the Americans showed
so much appreciation OF the act the Next
cans found they had made a mistake and de-
cided to lower and rehoist the flag, with the
Mexican flag on top. Then the Americans
declared such transaction would be an in.
suit to the United States flag.
Superintendent Danforth told tho Mexi.
cans that they would have to shoot him be-
fore they could haul down the American
flag. The Mexicans were about to mob Dan
forth, when Charles Hogsett (who, during
the Spanish War, was with the Rough Riders
in Cuba) interposed with a six-shooter in
each hand. Firing from both sides imme-
diately ensued. and Hogsett was instantly
killed. John Evans and Dick Rea, two
other Americans, were MORALLY wounded
The Americans, however, held the fagpole
and both flags ioated throughout the day.

SURRENDER OF CRONJE.
How the Lion of South Africa Was Obliged
to Abandon His Position.

How the Lion of South Africa Was Obliged
to Abandon His Position.
London, (By Cable. 1.-The War Office has
received the following dispatch from Lord
Roberts:
"Paardeberg. - General Cronje and all OF
his force capitulated Internationally at DAY
light and is now a prisoner in my camp. The
strength Of his force will be communicated
later. hope that Her Msiesty's Govern
ment will consider this event satisfactory,
occurring as 1t does on the anniversary OF
Majuba."
The War Office also received the following
additional dispatch from Lord Roberts:
"From information furnished daily to me
by the Intelligence Department 1t became
apparent that General Cronje's force was be-
coming more depressed and that the discon'
tent Of the troops and the discord among the
leaders were rapidly increasing"
This feeling was doubtless accen..sated
by the disappointment caused when the
Boer reinforcements, which tried to relieve
General Cronje were defeated by our troops
on February 20. l resolved, therefore, to
bring pressure to bear on the enemy. Each
night the trenches we're pushed forward to-
ward the enemy's lager so as to gradually
contract hts position, and at the same time
/ bombarded it heavily with artillery, which
was materially aided by the arrival OF four
six-inch howitzers which had ordered ug
from De Aar.
"In carrying out these measures captive
balloon gave great assistance by keeping vi
informed of the dispositions and movement
of the enemy At A. NJ. a most dashine
advance was made by the Canadian Regt
ment and some engineers, supported by the
First Gordon Highanders and Second
Shropshires, resulting in our gaining poinl
some 600 yards nearer the enemy and within
about so yards OF his trenches, where ouI
men intrenched themselves and maintained
their positions till morning, gallant deed
worthy OF our colonial comrades, and which
am glad to say, was attended by compare
lively slight loss.
This apparently cllnched matters, for, al
daylight, lettcr signed by General Cronje
In which he stated that he surrendered un
conditionally, was brought to our outposts
under a flag OF truce.
"In my reply told General CroDje he
must present himself at my camp, and that
his force must come out OF their lager after
laying down their arms. BY Z A. NJ. re-
ceived General Cronje and dispatched a
telegram to you announcing the fact. In
the course OF conversation he asked for kind
treatment at our hands, and also asked that
his wife, grandson, private secretary, adju-
tant and servants might accompany him
wherever he might be sent. treasured him
and told him his request would be complied
with. informed him thai a general officer
would be sent with him to Cape Town, to
insure his being treated with proper respect
en- route. He will start Immediately under
charge OF Major-General Prettyman, whe
will hand him over to the general command l.
ing at Cape Town.
"The prisoners, who number about 5000,
will be formed into commandos under our
own officers. They will be rallied to Cape
Town In detachments."

Frankfort, KY, Especial. 1.-The Court Of
Appeals entered an order postponing the ar

TORE DOWN THE FLAG.

Mayor of Omaha Was Surprised to Find
Red Flag in its Place.
Omaha, Neb., Especial -One OF the Incl
dents of the heated municipal campaign

stroylng of an American flag and the sub
stltuting therefor AIRED rag on fagpole In
Mayor Moore's yard. He was astounded
to see the red cloth flying where, erstwhile,
the Stars and Stripes foated. AS the rope
was cut, his Honor had to call on the fire
department to run up a ladder and take
down the red cloth. He then ran up q
brand-new American flag to the top OF the

one pull 1t down. The work Is thought to
have been done by political opponents.

Williams and Woodward were found, but
died shortly afterward. Just what caused
the accident Is hard to determine,
but the general supposition OF the en-

is that some one who got off the carriage on
the previous trip had neglected to lock tht
fan, and it slipped out Of place, causing the
collision when the carriage was lowered
afterward.
