Jc To tbe EJitor of the Dispatch: Again I am called by duty to y chronicle the death of a mother in ai Israel. Mrs. Matilda Hartley is dead w She was tbe widow of the late Basil g Hartley and was about 76 years of age. Hers had been a long and useful life Her untiriDg industry, de- ^ votion to family and strict integrity was prominent throughout her life. She leaves eight children, all grown. Her daughters in every station in J life they have been called upon to . fill have exemplified the teaching ^ that was given them from their infancy and are noble and energetic women. Her eons are among the ^ most prominent business men in our community, their integrity is beyond question and each of them have been D remarsaui y sucucogiui m ? c tney erigage. Mrs. Hartley's maiden name was Eagan and her father came to ^ America from Ireland about a cen- ^ tury ago, and it is Dot unreasonable to suppose that he might have been of distinguished family that has given to the world the Irish "Patriot." "Patrick EagaD," whose love of liberty is known wherever the Sham, ? i_ * a rock is worn by the sons of men. ^ Mrs. Hartley's funeral at the Biptist church by her Pastor, Kev. ^ Dr A. C. Wilkin?, was largely attended, then she was placed in ' the Batesburg cemetery, where she ^ peacefully awaits the summons of the dead Occasional.

To the E iitor of the Dispatch: Having seen nothing through your valuable columns from this progres- q sive section of country known as ^ Priceviilp, we shall endeavor to give ^ you a f^w of the most interesting v happenings. I do not understand the reasoD i ! r woy there is no regular correspond ent to tbe D'spatch from Priceville. I .. I Tee health of the community is I J u moderately good at present, though deaths occur occasionally. ) Mr John Price was buried on the | '2nd of July, haviDg reached tbe ripe i old age of ST years. The funeral i services were conducted by his pas- I tor, Rev. W. H Roof. Mr. Roof ! preached one of the most excellent j t sermons on that occasion f:om ; Hebrews IV: 9, "There remaioetb a therefore a rest to the people of God,'' : jour scribe has listen to in a loDg ^ while. By the number of people that j f ere preff-nt, we ihk?- it for yraoud nt Brother Price had a host of ieoda who were very ruucb pained ; the thought of separating from le grand old soldier who made life pleasant journey through tbi* orld aod patiently bore his cross. 1 > a?. u.. Aoa dow, we trust mai uc 13 ru ?viDg that rest which is spokeu of i the text. Oq July, the 13th, about 6pm, [aster OJus K-isler, son of Mr. ad Mrs. Andrew K*-isler, was sum loned from this life to reup the reards of a world still uukoown to us. [e had been corfioed to his bed bout three weeks, though haviDg Imost entirely recovered from his isease two weeks ago, as his people nd Doctor thought; he relapsed on as day before his death and his pirit soon took its flight from this orld. His remains were laid to rest l the cemetery at Shiloah church on ie 14th inst., to await the resummon morn. The funeral services ere conducted by his pastor, RevIr. Lawson. The kind people of the immediate eighborhood of Priceville are going 3 furnish their usual family barbe e on Saturday, July 28, 1900. They promise a good and eDj'oyble time to all those who attend, 'here will be a string band present 3 furnish the music for the occasion. 'hf> warm hearted candidates will be relcomely received and cared for, Iso permitted to speak on the issues f the day if they desire. Good rder has been heretofore preserved t these 'cues and that is what the jrnishers intend to maintain again. Mrs. W. J. Price received a severe low from a male cow a few days go, and has been confined to her 30m pretty well all the time since, ut we are glad to say that she is Dovalescensing. Mrs. W. W. Long has been con ned to her room for several day3. Ve trust to see her out again soon. There have been not long since, a reat deal of talk among the mail eceivers along the route from Lewieale to Holley's ferry about petition3g the Po?t Office department for daily mail. We hope that the people will take n interest in this matter, as we feel ure that it would prove a great enefit to our country and increase be mail facilities wonderfully. The crops in tbe this section are >oking very well considering tbe irougbt that is on them now. Mr and Mrs. P G Taylor and amily visited at Prof. L A Sense's esterday and attended the comtuuiion services at Beulah church in tbe ftemoon.

War Like Preparations. . i There is a strarge condition of affiirs exist'ng befcweeD the civilized nations aDd Chin-, the like rf which has never before exi.-ted. To all in I tents Coina is en2a2ed in a war with ' the nations c f the earth, or at least if murdering foreigners and firing od ! the fl-!gs can be considered as an open declaration of war. True the < ffieials of China are not responsible ' for these murders and the liotous con- 1 duct of the Boxers. This latter class 1 are in a eta'e of insurrection sg-iinst 1 all foreigners soj mrning in the Flow- ! ery Kingdom and the government is 1 simply powerless to quell the insurrection or to protect the victims of ' the wrath of the Bjxers President ' JleKinKy, of this government, is in 1 a quandary over the situation, but is of the opinion that the Uuited ! States is not at war with the PekiD ' government, and also that it is the ' duty of the power3 to assist Chiua ' in restoring order and bring the murderers to justice. There remaiu but ^ little hope that the lives of members of the different legations at Pekin have ' been spared. In an engagement at Tien Tsin on July 13, the allied 1 wprp rpnnlspfl with hpftVV loss. ' --r J In this engagement the Ninth U. S. troops under command of Colonel Liscum, suffered terribly, Liscum be* i iog among the number killed. It is estimated that 20,900 Chinamen took part in the engagement and their marksmanship was remarkably accurate. Since the above was put in type, later advices say the allied forces renewed the attack on the walled city of Tien Tsin, and after a desperate attack succeeded in breaking the wall and capturing all the forts. The to tal losses of the allied forces in the engagements of Thursday, Fiiday and Saturday were about 809 killed and wounded. The casualities were greatest among the Russians and Japanese. The adjutant general's office at Washington on July 17, made public ? r K A C** 1 n /? Kn a usiantru eiaicLucuu cuuntug i-uo provision made by the war department in the equipment of the expeditionary force sent by the United States to China. The strength of this force in all the arms of the service aggregates 10,665. It is possible that this force may be further augmented to the extent of 2.000 or 3,000 men, as was forecasted at the cab?net meetiDg. The commissiary general has made all arrangements for feeding the Chinese force from the base already established at Manila. The Sixth cavalry, now tfloat, and all the other troops following them from this country will carry sixty d ty's field rations. Fifty thousand dollars in gold for use in China has been invoiced to the chief commissary at Manila. The commissary depart j rnent has made ir qairies as to the possibilities of securing fresh meats and vegetables for the troops in China. Owing to the probable scarcity of fresh supplies on shore, the department has bad recourse again to canned beef; but for the present campaign it has been put in the form of beef stew, corned beef and corned beef hash, and sufficient vegetable0, such as potatoes and onions, have been canned with it to obviate the difficulty experienced in Cuba, where the troops were forced to eat beef from the cans without further cooking. Troops leaving the States for China will carry a complete outfit of comfortable clothing in addition to their regulation clothing and tentage. j Owing to the severe weather that may be expected in northern China during the winter, the expedition will carry 1 400 Sibley stoves, 8,500 overcoats, 6 000 pairs of Arctic over shoe?, 5,000 blankets, lined canvas hoods and other extra heavy winter clotbiDg in proportion sufficient for the 5,100 men. To secure suitable drinkiDg water for the troops on shore 100 sterilizers of a capacity of 25 gallons per hour are beiDg manufactured. Animal ships have been chartered and will be fitted up as fast as possible to carry about 4,000 animals. Preparations have been made to seDd whatever lumber the army may need from the United States. The chief of ordinance reports there is an abundant supply of ammunition for small arms and ma? f ' a ? 1*1 1 J CDice guns 01 rme canore on uulu for a prolonged war on a large scale. Ample provision bas been made by the medical department for surgical and hospital appliances and attend ants and the eigual corps will also be well represented. j '/ /f) " / For FREE /hlfemrcn Scholarship positions" guaranteed, Under S3.COO Cash Deposit. j Ral road Fare Paid Open all yea- t<?
