port News Badly Battered,
With Illness Aboard
Captain Ronald Declares Vessel
Struck Sunken Wreck Off
Terra del Fuego

The British steamer Braemount. SO
days from Newport News. arrived in
port late Wednesday afternoon, having
experienced ono of the worst passag
around the Horn on record Her stear-
ing gear was torn away. most of her
boats stove in and every steam pipe on
the vessel was bent and twisted out OF
shape Two blades from her propeller
were broken off, her stanchions carried
away and the rudder broken in several
places.
Captain John Ronald of the Brae-
mount said yesterday that it was his
original intention to go through the
rived there he decided to go around
the Horn.
The weather was ideal" he said
until we reached a point of Terra de
Fuego, when we struck the heaviest
gale / have ever experienced. Some
thing shook the ship from stem tc
stern and / think that we must have
struck a sunken wreck. I am positive
the fierce storm that was raging al
that time was not responsible for it.
One OF the crew sustained a broken
! leg and another has a dislocation OF the
knee as q result of the storm"
CREW LIKE SKELETONS
Several members OF the crew are
suffering from illness. The ships sur
geon states that the captain is victim
Of tuberculosis. although the captain
refuses TO believe It. John McLouGh-
i I'm. seaman, has a fracture of the
knee cap. Daniel Mcconnell has 9
broken leg. Edward Duke is minu:
three of his fingers and Charles CLARK
is suffering from a severe case Of
traehoma
The crew, which consists OF 21 whit,
men and II Chinese, look like skeleton:
after their rough trip. although they
have had good weather since entering
the Pacific.
Chief Engineer James Aird corrobor.
ated the statements made by Captain
Ronald and stated that he had nc
desire TO make another trip around tn,
Horn.
The crew, which is part Chinese
worked like demons" said Aird, land
when we received that heavy shake
they stood at their posts TO a man.
When asked If he thought 1t was ar
earthquake which they had expert
enced. he answered: No, it was un-
doubtedly some sunken wreckage. Il
felt as II we had a collision or had
grounded
FIRST DEMANDS WATER
The steamer Braemount is a British
vessel of several thousand tons and is
owned by Hope & Sloan of Glasgow
She carried heavy cargo OF coal fol
the United States government, which
listed somewhat during the storm.
Nearly the first question the captair
asked yesterday was:

! Water was sent out TO the ship i'm
mediately by the Crowley launch ant

sire the success Of every candidate
on the Democratic ticket, and we
have laid special stress upon the
name of Mr.. Mckenzie solely
from the fact that a fight is being
made upon none other of the
county candidates. It seems that
he has been selected as the special
subject of the wrath of a number
of citizens, many of whom have
always been Democrats and who
participated in the primary and
with them it is ''anything to beat
Mckenzie" They won't accom-
plish anything, for Mr.. Mckenzie
will be elected, but as stated be-.
fore we want to see him elected
by a large majority. Not one
word is urged against his integri-
ty or his ability to fill the Office
of sheriff to the satisfaction of
the people and in the interests of
all alike. Even under ordinary
circumstances it would the duty
of every Democrat IN the county
to support HIM. He received the
nomination fairly and squarely,
and the united and hearty support
of every Democrat who participant,
ed in the Urinary election should
be given him. He deserves this,
it is his by every right and he
should receive it.

COLO HILL.

In point Of elevation, Gold Hill
appears rather to be above the
thermal belt. The fruits and
vegetables IN the early spring and
late fall usually escaped the
blighting %frosts, while almost al
together they are destroyed in the
surrounding country. We gener-
ally have them here, when other
people do not. This year we have
had al excellent variety aud pref
ty large quantity. Even at this
late date, the tender corn and snap
beans with tomatoes have hardly
ceased to make a dish upon the
tables Of some people. The au-
tumn and fall season has been a
delightful one. A little dry at
times, and then a super.abundance
of rain. The water fall neal two
months ago was extremely excess
sive, and the high water mark was
a record breaker, but on last Fri
day and Friday night the rain fall
appeared to be heavier than at any
time during the year, and while
but few people knew it, the
streams were higher, some say, by
two feet than at any other time.

The season upon the whole has
Teen quite favorably to gathering
and seeding, Much wheat and
oats have been sown, and a larger
part of the crops gathered. The
Id time "corn shuckings" are
now on. This year, upon the
whole, has been quite successful
and prosperous by the farming class
of people. They have mostly
made bountiful crops which are
commanding good prices. But
not SIS in and about the town of
Gold Hill. The business interests
have collapsed, or suspended, it
seems indefinitely. There is not
a mine in operation here now, and
a large per cent. of the former en-
ployes have gone elsewhere in
search of work.
This is a year of politics, not of
business or religion. Recently
two p~rotracted meetings yer held
in the town, one in the Baptist
church, the other in the Metho-
dist, but little interest was mani
tested 10 either. But many of
our people are free and glib to dis
cuss politics and talk of men and
measures. We have had much
public speakings within this and
the past month. United States
Senator Overman, Congressman
Hacket and State Senator from
Rowan Whit had Kluttz have
all honored us with their pres
O.. CO and speeches. All of them
made good speeches. If I were to
discriminate, I would say that
Senator Kluttz made the best po-
litical speech 1 have heard this
year. He is a bright young man,
hiss the rare gift of the popular
speaker, is fluent of pleasing .ad-
and graceful manner, and
clothes his thoughts with the best
and purest English. His speech
dignifed, clear cut and con-
yincing, interspersed with .humor-
Gus story and apt. illustrations,

The panic of 1898 originated
under the Republican administra-
ton of Benjamin Harrison, and
the present conditions are attribu-
tai to the Republican administers
tlons of the past twelve years, ard
the Republicans were also in power
during the panic of 1873, in fact
it is the party of panics and hard
times. Whenever it has remained
in power long enough a panic has
been the result.
