Editor T-mes-Mkbsenger: At the speakiug had here on the 20th instant, Mr. Ellerbe severely criti cised Mr. Norton’s policy in voting for the v ar with Spain aud U>t the resolution providing for 5 annexation of the Hawaiian lands. I commend Mr. Norton for both votes, they were eminently correct aud proper and showed the wisdom of a statesman. The United States did uot declare war against Spain. We asked* the Spaniards to improve their meth- oa of government. They did not They would not. They were in capable of it and could not. /We then asked them to abandon this government- In doing this the United States has paid a debt thatshe has long owed to civiliza tion, the demand for the remov al of wretched government from the continent. Spain has shown an incapacity for govern ment unrivalled by any nation. This incapacity of government and cruelty to her subjects has caused the loss of all of her colo nies and proviuoea. In war her heart and art has been cruel be yond comparison. Nations asd individuals who thought the Uni ted States 'a mere boy’ now respect and reverence the manly spigiv that shf has displayed for privj •od public happiness, taught jt lesson to and ret example tythe world form in that aha sho exist in such an age of progresi t has she done for civili: tion ? Christianity and science anguish in her border* and prog ress is stagnant- Mr. Ellerbe said that the United States would find the same trouble controlling these possessions that Spain did. Such a comparison is odious 1 The United States stand ing as she does for the liberty of mankind, with such a glorious listory of progress, can’t govern heee islands any better than Spain? If I thought so, then I would oppose expansion and con demn Mr. Norton for his vote. But I favor expansion because it brings the opportunity to spread civilization and establish the gov ernment of the United States, which has no equal or model on ths face of the globe. Of course it brings reiponsibilk ties 1 But responsibility is a duty that we court because it afforuft the strong an opportunity to pro tect and help the weak—the goo ' to improve the bad What have we to fear ? Have not the anglo-ssxons demonstrated to the world their superiority of every kind of power and their ability fo utilize it? Territorial expansion as involv ed in this war and the annexation of Hawaii is an opportunity for the United States to give freedom, liberty and good government to millions of people who are aud have (x-en oppressed by ignorance and Spanish misrule. I am glad of the opportunity and responsi bility to relieve the oppressed. The United States should live up to the opportunity and keep what she has taken. Respectfully, A. B. C. Narrow Eecape.

Laxe, drnggist, Florence. About one month ago my child, which is fifteen months old, had an attack of diarrhoea accompanied by vomiting. I gave it such rem edies as are usually given in such cases, but as nothing gave relief, we sent for a physician and it was under his care for a Week. At this time the child had been sick for ten davs and was having about twenty-five operations of the bowels every twelve hours, and we were convinced that unless it soon obtained relief it would not live. Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was recom- mended, and I decided to try it. I soon noticed a change for the better; by its continued use a com plete cure was brought about and it is now perfectly healthy.—C. L. Boggs, Stumptown, Gilmer Co., W. Va.
