And dies and leaves its faithful slave mere

DEWEY FAVORS THEM.
Enemy Could Have Kept Him
Out of Manila Bay.

Representative Foss, acting chair
man of the house committee on naval
affairs, has received from Admiral
Dewey a copy of a memorandum pre-
pared by that officers aide, Lieut.. H.
H. Caldwell, upon the recent tests OF
the Holland submarine torpedo boat.
Admiral Dewey, it is understood, in
dorsed the report of his aide, who ex-
presses the belief that a determined
enemy, with submarine boats of the
Holland type, could have made impos-
sible the occupation of Manila bay by
the admiral's squadron.
The expression of opinion made By
the admiral was in response to a re-
quest from the senate and house
naval committees, which, before de-
termining upon the action to take
upon pending bills, desired to learn
the ndmiral's views.

Gathering : Received With Great
Demonstrations Of Inthusiasm.
Hon. J. G. Buxton and Hon.
+. M. Simmons spoke in Nor
canton last Saturday to a court
house full of people. Quite a
number ofladies graced the oc.
casion. The entrance of Bux-
ton and Simmons to the hall
was greeted by perfect storms
of applause.
Mr.. Buxton made q fine i'm
preston on our people and
Burke will roll up a big major
ity for him. HIS speech was
based on argument rather than
an appeal to passion, and al
though he spoke for nearly two
hours the interest did not lag
and the last patriotic utterance
of the speaker was as energet-
ically applanded as the first.
Mr.. Simmons touched on the
threatened attack on our
amendment by the Republicans,
and declared that he would de-
fend the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
in any court. as we'll as the men
who helped to ratify it. He
then discussed the emperial-
istic policy and tendency to-
wards colonialism of the Re-
publican party, and wound up
with trusts anil the remedy Of
fered by the Democratic party
for the evils the people suffer
from them. Mr.. Simmons did
not one time mention the SEN
atorial contest.

Buxton and Fortune.

There was a joint discussion
at the Court House in Nor
canton Tuesday night between
Hon. J. G. Buxton, democratic
candidate for Congress, and
Hon. J. B. Fortune, independ-
ent republican candidate for
the same office. A big crowd
heard the speeches. Mr..
Buxton held up his side on
national issues in his usual
able manner. The most in
teresting feature of the occas-
ION, however, was Mr.. For
tunes expose of republican
tricks in conventionsand other
places, at times telling tales
on some local republicans and
ripping Spencer Blackburn
up the back. Mr.. Fortune
believes that he will get a big
vote in the district.
