WEDNESDAY, JUNE 15.
President McKinley says the war
will end Aug. 1st.
England undertakes ?o attend to
Europe if we will take care of this
side of the water.
The official war news of this and
the past week is satisfactory so far
as it goes, but il is all preliminary.
Georgia's "cussified" colonel,
Candler, was elected Governor of
that State in last week's elections.
John R. Tolbert, of Abbeville,
has been appointed by President
McKinley as Collector of Customs
* at Charleston.
The yellow fever has made its
appearance in Mississippi. The
department at Washington is mak
ing strenuous efforts to prevent its
spreading.
It is said that Santiago de Cuba
has been captured and that the
United States flag floats from the
"battlements of the battery" at
this writing.
Wo have captured another island
from Spain. This last is Guahan,
one of the Ladrone group, about
1,500 miles from Honolulu, more
than half way from that point to
the Philippines. It is to be used
as a coaling station.
The State campaign opens at
Orangeburg on Thursday of this
week, the 16th inst. We will not
know absolutely who is in the race
for Governor until that meeting.
We know for certain, however,
that Col. Bob is in it.
Gen. Merritt, who has been ap
pointed Governor General of the
Philippines, is hurrying prepara
tions for his departure for these
far away islands. Provisions and
ammunition are being rushed
aboard the China, Colon, and Zea
land. The transports Senator,
City of Pueblo, and Queen will
soon be ready for troops.
The Southern Press is not as
severe in its criticisms of Gen.
Milss as some of the northern,
newspapers. The Pittsburg Post
gaye: "There are those who
believe that the death knell of the
war will be sounded just as soon
as the prow of Gen. Miles' porclain
iined bath tub is pointed Cuba
ward.
It is announced that the vaults
of the clearing house in New Yourk
contain $140,000,000 in gold be
longing to the banks of that city.,
Now, if the people of the country
had about that additional amount
of good, crisp legal tenders to do
business with, how much better
things would work.
Senator Tilliman had . an
important amendment added to
the postoffice appropriation bill.
It prevent? star contractors from
subletting their contracts. In
order to gee their money they
must he able to swear that they
performed the service themselves.
This will insure a better service
and allow the contractors a better
showing.
It is the general understanding
in official circles that Shafter's
force of 27,000 men will be divided
after taking Santiago, one part to
remain there and the others going
to Ponce and the east of Porto
Rico. The positive daie of their
departure will be determined by
Coppinger's readiness to start to
San Juan.
Simultaneous attacks by land
and sea on San Juan will be fol
lowed by a junction with Shafter's
expedition, which will travel the
military road, seventy-five miles
from Ponce to San Juan, dissect
ing the island. It is believed the
campaign at Porto Rico will dis
hearten Spain and season the
Americans for a decisive victory
at Havana.
In many quarters the President
is being very severely criticised for
appointing to high rank in the
army "Nobodies, the Sons of
Somebodies.'' It is charged that
"a letter from father," if father is
a Senator or a millionaire, is
sufficient to procure a rank in the
army that wovld take about fifteen
or twenty years to obtain through
the regular channel of promotion.

On Board the Associated Press
Dispatch Boat Dauntless, off
Guantanamo, Sunday, June 12,
via Mole S. Nicolas, Hayti, June
12.-Lieutenant Colonel R. W.
Huntington's battalion of marines,
which landed from the transport
Panther on Friday, and encamped
ou the hill guarding the abandoned
cable station, at the entrance to.
the outher harbor of Guantanamo,
has been engaged in beating off a
J bush attack by Spanish guerillas
I and regulars since 3 o'clock Satur
day afternoon.
The fighting was almost con
tinuous for 13 hours,until G o'clcck
this morning, when reinforcements
were landed from the Marblehead.
Four of our men were killed
and one wounded. The advance
pickets unde Lieutenants Neville
and Shaw, are unaccounted for.
Among the killed in Assistant
Surgeon John Blair Gibbs, sou of
Major Gibbs, of the regular army,
who fell in the Custer massacre.
His home was at Richmond, but
he had been practicing in New
York, and entered the service
since the war begun. He was a
popular o?'eer. The others killed
are Sergenat Charles H. Smith, of
Smallwood; Private William
Cunphy, of Gloucester, Mass., and
Private James McColgan, of
Stoneham, Mass.
Corporal Glass was accidentally
wounded in tho head.
The Spanish .loss is unknown,
but it was probably considerable.
The splashes of blood found at
daylight at the position? the
Spaniards occupied indicate
fatalities, but their comrades
carried off the killed and wounded.
The engagement began with
desultory firing at the pickets,
1,000 yards inland from the camp.
Captain Spice's company was do
ing guard duty, and was driven in,
finally rallying on the camp and
repulsiug the enemy at 5 o'clock.
The bodies of Privates McColgan
and Dunphy, were found, both shot
in the head. The large cavities
made by the bullets, which, inside
a range of 500 yards, have a rotary
motion indicate that the victims
were killed at close rauge.
Shortly after midnight came
the main attack. The Spaniards
made a gallant charge up the
southwest slope, but were met by
repeated volleys from the main
body, and broke before they were
one-third of the way up the hill,
but they come so close that, at
at points, there was almost a hand
struggle. The officers used their
their revolvers. Three Span
iards got through the open
formation to the edge of the camp.
Col. Jose Campi?a, the Cuban
guide, discharged his revolver,
and they, turning and finding
themselves without support, ran
helter-skelter down the reverse
side of the hill. It was during
this assault that Assistant Surgeon
Gibbs was killed. He was shot in
the head in front of his own tent,
the farthest point of attack.
Ile fell into the arms of Private
Sullivan and both dropped. A
second bullet threw dust in their
faces. Surgeon Gibbs lived 10
minutes, but did not regain
consciouess.
The surgeons cf the hospital
corps then removed their quarters
to the trenches about the old
Spanish stockade, north of thc
camp. The attacks were continued
at intervals throughout the rest of
the night, with firing from small
squads in various directions.
Toward morning the fire slack
ened. Dawn is the favorite time
for attack, aud, as the east paled,
the marines, lying on their guns,
were aroused. Some were actually
asleep, as they had had no rest
for IS hours," and tired nature
could no longer stand the strain.
But no attack came.
Three new 12-pound field guns,
which could not be used during
the night for fear of hitting our
own men, shelled several squads of
Spaniards after daylight. They
dove into the bushes like prairie
dogs into burrows as the shellal
broke over them in the gray dawn. J
? As the correspondent ol' th?'.';
Associated i'ress talk d with
Major Cockrell, who was in charge
of the outposts, word caine of the
finding of the body of Sergeant
Smith. He was reported as having
been killed at 5 o'clock on the
previous day, but it appears that he
had been seen alive at 10 o'clock
in the evening. When and how
he was killed, no one knows at

this writing. Neither had the men
been mustered nor had the outposts
of Lieutenant Neville and Shaw
been relieved.
Lieutenant Colonel Hunting
ton and Major Cockrell gave high
praise to the nerve and steadiness
of the officers and mon, especially
the young ones, as the engagement
was a baptism of fire for a large
majority. The men were in dark
ness and in a strange land, but
they stood to their posts with
courage and fortitude and there
was no symptom of panic.
The marines, though exhausted,
were eager for more fighting, prom
ising to inflict heavy punishment.
They complimensed the daring of
the Spaniards with characteristic
profanity.
To-day the amplest precautions
have been taken, and, as the Daunt
less was leading, reinforcements
were lauding from the Marblehead,
A stormy time was expected.
Estimates vary as to the attack
ing force, some saying 200 and the
figures run ashign as 1,000. Col.
Camaina, the Cuban guide, said
the Spaniards were mostly irregu
lars, but the reports of the dis
charge of Mauser rifles would in
dicate that they were regulars, a?
most of the guerrillas carry Rem
ingtons. The Cuban guerrillas, as
a rule, have more dash and cour
age than the regulars.
The new campaign uniforms
prove satisfactory, and, are almost
invisible at a distance of 200 yards.
The Lee guns caused several acci
dentsjn drawing cartridges. Cor
poral Glass shattered his hand.
Despite the loss of the men, who
are keenly regretted, the marines
rejoice that they have been engaged
in their first fight on Cuban soil.
They sailed from New York the
day war was declared, and expected
to land .vithin a week at Havana.
Since then, until they landed on
the shore of Guantanamo bay, they
had boen cooped up on the Panther,
and they had begun to fear that
the troops would beat them after
all.
Suffering in Silence.
Women are the real heroes of
the world. Thousands of them
endure the dragging torture of the
ills peculiar to womanhood in the
silence of the home. They suffer
on and on-weeks, months, years.
The stor}* of weakness and torture
is written in the drawn features,
in the sallow skin, in the listless
eyes, in the lines of care and worry
on the face.
Inborn modesty seals these.wo
men's lips. They prefer the pain
to humiliation. Custom haB made
them believe the only hope of re
lief lies in the exposure of exam
ination aud. "local treatment."
But in nine cases of female weak
nesses out of ten, local treatment
is unnecessary. There is no good
reason why modest, sensitive wo
men should submit to it.
McElree's Wine of Cardui which
is attracting so much attention
now, has brought about a revolu
tion in the manner of treating this
troublesome class of diseases. It
is a pure vegetable wine that exerts
a wonderfully healing, strengthen
ing and soothing influence over
the organs of womanhood. It in
vigorates and stimulates the whole
system. It is almost infallible in
curing, the peculiar weaknesses,
irreguhu ities and painful derange
ments of women. It does this
great work year after year-iu the
privacy of homo-away from the
eyes of everybody. Every drug
gist sells Wine of Cardui. The
price is $1.00 per bottle.
The Hon. T. H. Rainsford, of
Edgefield, who for four years made
such a wise and prudennt legislator
io the House of Representatives,
has been announced by his friends
in Edgefield as a candidate to fill
the unexpired term of Senator
J. M. Gaines. Among the many
bright men of that county no ona
is 'jotter qualified for Senatorial
duties, and his election will confer
a well-merited trust and honor
upon a .man who by his learning
Mid wisdom its eminently capable of
representing a county traditionally
endowed with the ability lo produce
men of genius, patriotism, superb
courago and legal acumen.

THE WAYS OF GENERALS.
A GOOD ARTICLE PROM
BILL AKP. t
Ho Revives Some Good Stories
About Prominent Men of tho
Past-He Has Found Out
That Admiral Dewey is.
a Presbyterian.
When General Taylor . bad
fought and won a great battle in
Mexico he sent a report of it to
the secretary of war and began it
by saying: Sir-On yesterday
noon as I wa3 taking a hasty plate
of soup." The nation was electrified
at the victory, but everybody
smiled at the old man's style of
reporting it and the importance he
attached to soup. Nevertheless
the Whigs nominated him for
President over Gen. Scott and
Daniel Webster. Scott was called
"Old Fuss aud Feathers," but
Taylor was dubbed "Old Rough
and Ready," and that nom
inated him. The Democratic
papers made fun of him and called
him "old soup plate" but he was
elected. His fighting qualities
put him through. .
And Henry Watterson says we
can put Admiral Dewey through
for the same reason. Maybe we
can. I am willing, of course, for
he isa Democrat and a Presby
terian, and being, one of the elect,
ought to be elocted. We don't
know that he is partial to soup,
but certain it is that he is partial
to his stomach, for he actually
stopped fighting and siukiug ships
long enough to eat breakfast.
Was such a thing ever done
in the midst of a terrific battle be
fore? "Twenty minutes for break
fast !" was the ring of the steward's
bell on every vessel and the poor
Spaniards had surcease of sorrow
for a little while. Zachary Taylor
said : "A little more grape, Captain
Bragg," bot Dewiiy said: "B >ys,
let us rest a while aud eat up
somethiug-the rest of their ships
j will keep.
Dewey is a Green Mountain boy
and I like that, for Vermont
Democrats aro the best Democrats
north ot the line. And just" to
think of his bciug a Presbyteriao.
I didn't know they had any in
Vermont and would have set him
down for a Unitarian or a Roman
Catholic or a deep water Baptist.
Grover Cleveland, they say, is a
Presbyterian, but maybe he is one
of Zeb Vance's kind. Zeb said :
"The difference be tween me and "
my brother Bob is that Bob is a
Methodist and believes in falling
from grace, but Bob never falls, I
am a Presbyterian and don't believe
in falling, but am falling all
the time," When Zeb was
ruDning against Holden for
Governor he found, out that all the
people io a little valley over the
mountain were Baptists, and so he
went over there just a few days
before Holden was to speak there
and told the boys that his good old
mother was a Baptist and that
Holden was a regular old-fashioned'
shoutin Methodist and you could
hear him a mile at a camp meeting.
The result was that not a dozen
men came out to hear Holden
and Vance got every vote in the
settlement.
But that stopping for breakfast
at Manila reminds me of the fight
between Mr. Hall and Colonel
Boyd, of our town, away back be
fore the war. The}" were leading
citizens and were continually at
outs. They carried much ani
mosity on tb .?ir tongues and much
cor^orrosity in their abdominal
regions, for each weighed about
250 pounds and had short arms
and shorter legs and each had
vowed to whip the other if he ever
crossed his path. One day as Hall
was from the post?nico slowly

bi; a coward as oki Falstaff, but
dey had to fight and everybody
ap'und was willing. lu a brief
t?ne they got to the ground aud
neither could get up or get on top

Atter while the people took pity on

each, claimed the victoiy. "I sent

said Boyd, "aud no?v I reckon you

"?hip who, yon old dirty, lying

crumpled sheet that somehow or
other he had never let go from
his hand. The old doctor always
swore that be n<iver stopped read
ing his paper while fighting Boyd.
.Tu?t so Taylor never forgot his
soup and Dewey his breakfast.
There is no record in all history
matching Dewey's coolness under

Stonewall Jackson didn't 6eem
to care very much about eating
during a fight, but did care about
praying for souls of his enemies.
"The Blaehght elder know them well,
Say he, 'That's Banks-he's fond of h

well
That's Stonewall Jackson's way.
"Silence! ground arms! kneel all!
caps off!
Old Bluelight's going to pray.
'Say bare thine arm; stretch forth
thy rod ;
Amen !' That's Stonewalls way."
But after all t'^at has been said
or sung about our heroes, I don't
believe that any good heart
ed man takes pleasure in
killing his fellow min whether in
battle or in a quarrel. In the
olden time when men fought
duels and it was considerable to
refuse a challenge, manya man
overshot his adversary racher than
have his blood on bis hands. It
takes a hardhearted man to shoot
another down iu cold blood and it
is a shade of comfort to every true
soldier to know that possibly every
bullet he fired may have missed
the mark. I saw two soldiers shot
at sunrise one morning at Center
ville in 1861. Twelve men fired
the-fatal shots but no one knew
whojcilled them fDr six of the guns
had j\o balls in them. Such is
the^kind consideration that even
ai my rules have for the feelings
of those who a're chosen for such
reluctant work. That voice from
heaven that Cain heard when he
killed Abel still haunts us. "The

The Cost of War.
It is impossible to estimate the
cost of war. The expenditures of
governments in carrying on wars
ire enormous and may be ascer
tained with some degree of ac
curacy, but these do not constitute
ihe total cost of a war or anything
like it.
Mr. Ellis H. Roberts, United
States treasurer, has, however, pre
pare! a statement which shows
bow vast a eum of money our gov
ernment has expended in wars.
Mr. Roberts estimates our expen
diture? in the war of 1812 at
?102,993,153. War in those days
was very far from beiDg as costly
as it is now It was comparatively
inexpensive when the conflict with
Mexico came on. The cost to us
bf that war, Mr. Roberts puts it at
$125,447,483.
When we reach the civil war we
come to great figuiee. Mr. Roberta
gives the following statement of
the expenditures by the United
Slates government for each of the
four fiscal years ofthat struggle:
1862 - - $456,379,890.81
1863 - - 694,004,575.56
1864. . - 811,283,679.14
1865 - - 1,217,704,199.28
Total - $3,179,372,350.79
Euormou8 as this total is, it
really represents but a small part
ol' the entire cost of the civil war.
It does not include the expendi
tures of the Confederate States
government, which were very large.
More th au $2,500,000,000 has been
paid by the government to pen
sioners of the civil war, and this
must go imo the account.
When we include the value of
property that was destroyed and
the loss on "account bf suspended
production we shall have to add
several thousand millions more to
the estimate of Mr. RobertB. The
total cost of the civil war cannot
be ejaculated, and if it could, the
figures would be beyond our com
prehension.
Ex-Senator John J. Ingalls, ol
Kansas, whose fame as a brilliant
writer, aman of remarkable schol
arship and literary attainments,
is even greater than that of the
distinguished senator, announces
a new book on the subject of the
Arnericau Spanish-Cuban War.
It is entitled "America's War For
Humanity in Picture and Story."
It is published by the N. D,
Thompson Pub. Co., of St. Louis,
Mo., and is an exhaustiva discus
sion of the cause of the war, and
equally exhaustive history of its
incidents, and a brilliant analysis
of the famous characters conduc
ting it. It promises to be the one
great and popular woik called
forth by this wonderfully interes
ting national episode. Whatever
Senator Ingalls toaches he adorns ;
and this book shines and sparkles
in the light of his genius. The
present work is worthy of his
genius, and will be a monument
his fame. The subject now so
ungrosses the popular mind as to
forecast for this book a sale that
will be universal. It will be sold
by subscription only, and the
canvassing samples are now ready
for agents, We advertise it in
another column.

Consistent with Safety.
AND without making special medtion of each of its many popu
lar plans of insurance, we desire to invito the careful examina
tion of ali concerned in Life Insurance to THE PROVIDEN T'S
TWENTY-YEAR RENEWABLE TERM POLICY-A SPECIAL
POLICY FOR BUSINESS MEN.
Twenty years is a long time. This is true in lifo insurance, as
well as in other business transactions. Nearly all life iusuranco.poli*
cies are contracts for a period of twenty years. They are made so by
insurance companies to supply the the needs of the insuring public.
When a man takes a whole-life, twenty payment life or twenty-year
bond, he cousiders its cost to him during twenty years, and the settle
ment which he can make at the e>u? of twenty years. Experience and
statistics prove that only a small percentage of policies are continued
longer than the twenty-year period.
Men take on large lines of insurance from age 30 to 40. The en
suing twenty years cover the period when their families are growing
up and being^educated ; it also covers the period of their greatest busi
ness activity. It covers the time when their families and business in
terests require'.the greatest amount of protection.
A man's requirements are not the same at 60 years that they sro
at 40 years. His family has grown up, his business conditions have
changed, or the necossity for insurance bas disappeared.
In view of these facts, The Providont Savings issues a policy at a
fixed rate for twenty years, which includes only the cost of protection
for that time. The premiums on this policy are less than one-half the
premiums charged for a twenty-payment life. If a man wants insur
ance for protection only, this policy will supply his wants admirably.
He is not obliged to make a deposit with an insurance company for a
future which he may never reach ; especially when he has need for
this deposit, and more, too, in his business.
To illustrate this Policy, we will give the figures. A man at 30
takes one of these Policies for $1,000 at the regular term rates of $14.91
per annum for twenty years. This policy can be continued, titer
twenty years, without medical re-exam i nat ion, at rates for the age
then attained.
