According to report, Lord Kitchen
.er will soon proceed to sell the farms
of Boer soldiers if his proclamation OF
the 18th of this month does not yield
better results. No doubt, the Beers
regard their farms as gone, anyhow,
unless they can win in this struggle.
With all of Lord Kitchener's proclaim
ing and threatening, the war does not
end. Beating the Dutch is hard
task The only man who ever did II
satisfactorily was Oliver Cromwell,
who was something of Boer himself.

had to earn her own living and aid a.:
large family and has unfa falteringly un-s
Fdertaken the task. She was born IN
the upper part Of Richland county,
near the Fairfield line, where she lived

her and Judge OF her worth: she =, is
an orphan, and Of a family OF ten CHI Il
dren, nearly all Of whom are still lly-S

doing no injustice to the many worthy
women who had applied for the place
I in giving it to one whose needs were
| as great as any, and one whom he felt
| absolutely convinced from personal
observation could discharge the duties
as we'll as any who had applied. He:
said further that he would ..haYe been
pleased if he could have given the aP-
pointment to each Of the worthy young
women applying, but choice had to-
be made and he had made it believing
he was doing that which was for the
best interest of the STATE.
Miss LaBorde is granddaugh hterE.of
the distinguished DR.. LaBorde who.
served he South Carolina College with
such ability and later wrote the only
real history of the historic institution.
Miss LaBorde promptly assured the

South African War News.

Pretoria, Sept. "a pamphlet has
been published here under Lord kltch-
ener's authority containing a notice OF
the permanent banishmenJ Of several
Boer leaders captured since Sept. 10,
and also long letter from Lord Kitch-
ener replying to Communication from
Acting President Schalk-Burger, re-
ceiyed Sept s.. Lord. Kitchener prom
.ises to send the chalk-Buger letter
to the imperial government, which he
says reciprocates the Boer statesman's s
desire for peace.
Lord Kitchener then proceeds to ex-
plain that the responsibility for the
war rests with the burghers s whose
invasion of unprotected British terri
tory opened the saddest page in South
African history. . he quotes let
ter from member Of the volksraad %
a member Of the Cape Colony assem-
bly,, declaring that the time is ripe
to drive the English from South Afrl-
ca. -
In conclusion Lord Kitchener de-
clares that, having annexed the two
republics to Great Britain, he cannot
break faith with the people who have
shown loyalty to the new regime, and
SO far as clemency to Cape rebels is
concerned, this is the prerogatlve OF
the ruler, which must be exercised
with unfettered discretion.
A reclamation has been issued pro-
yiding for the sale of properties OF
burghers still in the field in accord
ance with the terms of Lord Kitchen
er's previous proclamation.

Good News, if True.

correspondent of the Atlanta
Journal, writing from Jefferson, this
State, sends the following There is a
great awakening In this section ofsJhe
country to the need Of railroads. The
proposed routes are from W.lnston=
Salem to Wadesboro, in North Caro-.
lima, and from Sumter to McBee and
from McBee TO Monroe, N g. 1t. Is
probable that all three will be built
within the course of twelve months,
as the routes have been or are now
being surveyed.
# The road from Winston Salem to
Wadesboro will traverse the fertile
valley Of the Yadkin orPee=Dee River
and viii establish a connection be-
tween the cotton producing and cotton
manufacturing sections. Besides, 1t
will complete star line route from
Winston-Sa1em to Charleston-from
the Blue Ridge to the sea. 1t is under
stood that Charleston capitalists are
the prime movers in this project and
it has been intimated that the Norfolk
and Western system is interested in it:
The route. is now being surveyed and
the ultimate success Of the plan is as
sured.
The umter-McBee Company has
been chartered and the Charleston
people are also interested in It. From
this the thought has been suggested
that through line is being engineer
ed by the same parties from Charles
ton to Sumter and Wadesboro and
Winston Salem. This idea, however,
is frustrated by the road that is soon
to be built from McBee to Monroe,
N. N.C. G.
McBee is on the Seaboard Air Line,
about thirty miles from Cheraw: The
road from there to Sumter will put
the latter city into connection With
the productive regions OF Darlington
and Chesterfield counties.
The road from McBee to Monroe has
been surveyed and viii run through
this town. Preparations are being
made to begin work at once. =.
These system all taken together vii
be Of incalculable benefit to large
section Of this State and of our sister
State. The fertile adjoining countle:
Of Arson, In North Carolina, ane
Chesterfield, in South Carolina, which
now have the poorest railroad facili.
ties, will be given the best. The
manufacturing cities, Sumter, Wades.
boro and Winston Salem, will be II

that produces the raw product. Tht

inns contention is very true, but it
should not disturb the minds of those
anxious to force negroes into the public
service. All presidential appointments
are national. He can appoint whom he

would there be to his appointing a col
ored postmaster for Springfield, Mass,
where the incumbent would have the
warm support of the Republican? Why
not appoint coolred Federal judge for

president could maintain his plan of ac-
ceptability as we'll as the fitness, and at
the same time give colured men a due
proportion of public Offices. In the
places named there should be no doubt
about the negro being acceptable; and

THE NORTH CAROLINA NUN
CHAUSEN.

The editor of the Asheville Gazette
was hauled all the way to Louisburg to
give a glowing account of Pritchard 8
performance on Tuesday. The hireling
editor, who sold out his paper to the Re-
publicans, did what he was paid to do.
His account of the meeting reads like a
tale from Munchausen.o He says 5000
people were present when there were
not thirty white men Except doodlas and
old line Republicans) who had come to
hear Pritchard-it was the greatest
meeting ever held in North Carolina.
Here is his account in part:
From sunrise until noon carriag+ s
and wagons from the country poured in
host of people from the surrounding
country One hundred came in from
Vance county, hundred and fifty from
Nash, many from Warren, Edgecombe,
Wake and Granville. A delegation of
seven, including three ex-Democrats,
came from BERTHE. travelling 200 miles.
1t was an epoch making meeting"
And this is all fiction from begin
ming to end!
