An element of surprise will add somewhat to the zest of the occasion. The procession will be free to all who care to see it.

The report of President Harper showed the gross receipts of the road for the year ending June 30, to have been $124,141.04, and expenditures $110,784.43, leaving the net earnings at $13,356.61, an excess of something like $8,000 over the previous year, and $38,850 more than for 1895, the first year's operation under the present management. President Harper also stated that during the year be has purchased 100 tons of new steel rails, 30,000 cross ties and 10 box cars with automatic couplers. The cost of constructing the missing link between Newton and Hickory was $38,535.80. Notwithstanding this splendid report, there was a disposition among some of those present not to proceed with the election of new officers ; but it was decided, however, that the election should be proceeded with and the following directors were selected : J. L. Agurs and A. G. urice, or unester; Jos. F. Wallace, of Yorkville; Geo. A. Gray, of Gastonia ; B. F. Grigg, of Lincolnton ; J. A. Martin, of Hickory, and B. D. Heath, of Charlotte. Major G. W. F. Harper was re-elected president, and the directors were authorized to elect a vice president and to prescribe his duties. The whole proceedings of the stockholders' meeting cousumed less than half an hour, as the business was transacted without friction. THE PENDING DEAL. Outsiders found it impossible to get any satisfactory information at the stockholders' meeting at Hickory, N. C., last Thursday about the pending * deal in Carolina and Xorth-Westeru railroad securities. Mr. Thos. H. White, of Chester, was present, and so was Mr. Elliott, of Winusboro, along with-others who appeared to be inside ou the ground floor, but still there was around the situation an impenetrable air of mystery that left room only for speculation. Mr. T. H. White stated that he had s.?rvia a catiafantnrv mwlprctandinfr about the stock and bouds held by 3Ir. Weaver, of Asheville?bouds to the amount of 8-r>7,000 and GG5 shares of stock?and it was claimed by Mr. White and associates that they now control 8240,000 worth of bonds and 3,800 shares of stock, exclusive of the stock held by York county. They are still willing, however, to take .100 shares of York county's stock at 83 10 and the York county commissioners will today decide whether or not they will sell. General Barber is quoted as saying that the New York parties who proposed to buy the securities at a price already agreed upon, have the money in bank with which to pay the first installment. By the terms of its agreement the company is to pay 10 per cent, cash on August 1, 10 per cent, on January 1, and the balance within six mouths from the last named date. With the first payment purchasers agree to give their note, with the stock aud bonds as collateral to secure the balance, and to forfeit the first payment in the event of their failure to meet subsequent payments. Still there has developed no positive information as to wnai is 10 ue none with the property after the change of ownership. No one who knows is willing to reveal the identity of the New York parties or their plaus, and among the theories that are being suggested as to the meaning of the whole thing is a very plausible one to the elTect that the real purchasers will be Chester and Wiunsboro parties, who will control the property in a way to secure its operation in their interest. The splendid report that was made by the president on Thursday seems to indicate that such a purpose has a very good business foundation. CAD lO liiaKt: 11 pieasaui/ iui an usuuio. STOCKHOLDERS' MEETING. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Carolina and Northwestern railroad was held at Hickory, N. C., on last Thursday by proxy, the stock being represented by trustees. Before the meeting of the stockholders the directors of the road held " a private conference with Mr. Thos. H. White, of Chester, and Mr. Elliott, of Winnsboro, the gentlemen who are engineering the deal for the sale of the road. It is not known what developed in this conference. The stockholders' meeting was organized by the election of J. C. McLure, of Chester, as president, and J. J. McLure, of Chester, as secretary.

He says that the resort is a most delightful one and that Dr. Teal is doing all that is possible to make the guests comfortable, and to make it pleasant for them. He is succeeding admirably. 3Iost of the guests are York county people?some from Yorkville, some from Clover, some from Clay Hill and some from Hickory Grove. Transient visitors are quite numerous, and everybody is well pleased. Tlie Shuford Case. Columbia State, Friday : There is a case celebrated in York county annals of crime. L. F. Shuford, a white school teacher, was sentenced to six years in the penitentiary on the charge of attempt at assault. Ministers and others have petitioned Governor McSweeney to pardon Shuford, who has two years more to serve. The governor declined to do so, as Solicitor Henry's endorsement on the petition is to the effect that there is now standing another indictment for a similar offense, and that Shuford has been accused of crimes of the same nature iu other states. Shuford is a man of good education and has a wife and four children, but his heart seems to steeped iu immorality. , AG I'INALDO TO HIS PEOPLE. A Speech That Indicates 11 Proper Notion of Liberty. A copy of The Iudepeudencia has reached Manila containing the speech which Aguiualdo made during the recent celebration at Tarlae of the anniversary of the proclamation of Filipino independence. Iu substance it is as follows: "Filipino, beloved, daughter of the ardent sun of the tropics, coin mended by Providence to the care of noble Spain, be not ungrateful to her salute who warned you with the Dream 01 her own culture and civilization. "It is true she sought to crush thy aspiration for independence as a loving mother opposes separation forever f rom the daughter of her bosom. This but proves the excess of atrection and love Spain feels for thee. Filipino, delicate tlower of the east, scarcely eight months weaned from the breast of thy mother, thou hast dared to brave a great and powerful nation such as is the United States after barely organizing and disciplining thy little army. < Vet we reply we will be slaves to none, uor allow ourselves to be deceived by soft words. Let us continue to defend our fatherland until independence is assured, for this is justice. We shall see, at least, that the great American nation will acknowledge the right, which is on our side. That doctrine of the great Monroe, that America is for Americans, is not forgotten, just as we affirm that the Philippines are for the Filipinos. Some states of the American Union have arisen in our favor. "Especially is the Democratic party convinced that both victors and vanquished will lose precious lives. Thus many of the people and many statesmen censure President McKiuley as inhuman for having ordered his military representative at Manila to seek means to bring about hostilities with the Filipinos. These facts prove that lllfV WiMit'u iu nv> ua iu ore 11 ?vc uir able to live up to the second color of our banner, which signifies courage, heroism and martyrdom. Therefore we should not resent this struggle with the Americans. Iu spite of their expressed desire to dominate all the Philippines, well convinced are they that we will light, justice and right on our side, and that autonomy is all a show of deceit, only serving to save certain accumulated wealth. We have never coucealed our aspirations, that we aspire but to independence ; but we struggle on to obtain it, perhaps from those who are now our enemies, and tomorrow will be our friends, as they were for the overthrow of the power of Spain. "We might well accept this autonomy America offers, but what can we do with it if our ambition is independence, and if we are to accept it only to later overthrow by force of arms the sovereignty of America? As I believe it is the intention of the Autonomists to make use of treachery and deceit, we cannot accept such a procedure. We do not wish to be traitors afterward. We wish to show our character of frankness and sincerity and nothing more. Let us avoid the example of those natives who, having at one time been colonists, accepted autonomy to enable them to make their work surer on seeing war prepared. History has given us an example of this in recent events. Let us persist in our idea, which is only the legitimate aud noble aspiration of a people which is desirous at all cost to preserve its uational honor spotless and as pure as crystal. Thus, then, there will not be a single Filipino Autouomist. Those who are so are in the eyes of the people but time-servers, fearful of losing their riches, threatenKtr fiolr r\ F tvar tu uj a tea vt 't w* "Filipinos, let us be constant! Let us strengthen the bonds of ouruuion !" Aguinaldo concluded with calling for cheers for independence, the union of the Filipinos and for the liberating of the army. CUBA BECOMING IMPATIENT. i They Think It Is Time For the Americans to Quit. At a mass meeting held last evening in the Payret Theatre, after the street parade in his honor, Juan Gualberto : Gomez was himself the principal speaker, says a Havana dispatch of Wednesday. In the course of a long address, dealing with the reasons for beginning the war against Spain, he ( said : "I am now, as I always have , been, a Separationist; and I still demand the separation that I asked for i before the war, not only separation 1 from Spain; but from any and all : other nations. People only begin a ] revolution when this is absolutely necessary to life and progress. If a superior force deters them before their object is attained, there is merely the question of delay. "The revolution will inevitably re- J turn. Nations, like stars, have their ! seasons of eclipse ; but, following their orbits, they emerge and accomplish J their final destiny. The destiny of Cuba is only independence. The basic < ideas of the revolution were mystery 1 and, therefore, a synopsis now, which J would really remind us of past suffer- ; ing and of incidents ouly to be recalled 1 with horror, is unnecessary. Still we would return to those direful days if it had to be. Honor is as much a neces- \ sity in national life as is food in the : life of the individual, and it ought to j be insured if possible, even though . the attempt may result in catastrophe < and death. "Such disasters we can avoid by per- , feet unison, by raising our voices to de- . clare that this country is ours and that we want it for ourselves, by forgetting j our enmities, by obliterating personalities, by drawing a line through our i terrible past and by devoting ourselves to the future. "We should give due thanks to the Americans, whose progress and power inspire our admiration, but this does not meau that we should resign ourselves to a tutelage to be exercised over us. Let us make the same statement to the United Slates that the American colonies made to England when they declared, in 1776, that the Americans owned North America." The entire speech was in this spirit. The local press praises it today as "the mncf irntmi'tniit occurrence since Jan nary 1." Most of those present at j the meeting were Negroes and many , of the banners borne in the procession showed the legend of "Independence 1 or Death." '< The .Sidney 1'urk Matter.

That our Closing Out Summer Stock Taking Sale has been a boon to the bargain hunters 01 this section there can be no doubt. Every day since we have advertised our slashed prices the same quality of goods have steadily advanced on the northern markets until the first cost has now reached a price which is equal to nearly twice our slashed prices on all lines of our merchandise. This condition of affairs was something of a surprise to us and has caused a considerably greater sacrifice on our part than we had anticipated ; but we had advertised to the public to slash the price of everv article in our store, and JUST WHAT WE ADVERTISE HAS TO GO, no matter what the sacrihce to us may be. In business, our word is A FIDELITY BOND.

"Every Crow's Young One's the Blackest." I AM thoroughly convinced of the fact that every agent who sells Mowing Machines claims that his is the best ana that his Machine has features not to be found on others. I freely admit that the "feature" claim is correct; but stop right there, because I am prepared to prove by disinterested witnesses that no machine on this market or any other, compares with the Genuiue Buckeye as a grass juiiur or ior uumuiiuy, ttuu uuuo sui jjoaaes it for light runuing. Now, Another Point. The Buckeye Mower was invented and patented by Lewis Miller in 1857. I bave a drawing and description of the iriginal model on which the letters of patent were granted, and am prepared to prove that there is not a feature on any mower offered today that is of REAL VALUE that was not on the original Buckeye, and can also prove by the machine itself that the machine for 1899 is thoroughly up-to-date, yet at the same time the original plan is adhered to. There are Buckeye Mowers in use today that were sold 30 years ago. Mr. J. Ernest Cowry, of Yorkville, used a Buckeye last season sold by me to him in 1889. Ask biin how it did the work. No Buckeye bas failed to do good work in York county. Others have left pea fields looking more like a brush had been dragged over them than a mower. About Repairs.
