Editors Herald:?Now that our country has become involved in a war being waged among the leading nations of Europe, and the altar of patriotism is being heaped with the costly and fragrant sacrifice of love: and while the devotion of woman is being expressed by gifts of its best to the cause of country and humanity; this seems to me a time most opportune to put on record the sacrifice of a mother of South Carolina, as well as to do honor to the four sons she gave to the Confederacy, who throughout the four long weary years in which cur dear Southland was drenched in blood, fought bravely and gallantly for the cause they believed to be right, and the hag they had sworn to defend. The mother to whom I allude was Caroline McMillan Dickinson, a member of the McMillan family, whose descendants are living in this and adjoining counties, and whose husband, Josiah Dickinson, as nearly as I can learn from the meagre sources of information at my command, was a native of Virginia, and moved to South Carolina while a young man. first locating at Orangeburg, and finally at Buford's Bridge in this county, then a thriving village, where he engaged in the mercantile business, married and made his home for many years. He prospered in business, and this union was an ideal one, seven children being born to them. In passing, I would state for the benefit of some descendants who might be interested, or at any rate to keep the record straight, that Josiah Dickinson about the year 1846 decided to move to Georgia, and while en route by wagon to the new home, suddenly sickened and died, and was buried near Sylvania, Ga., where his remains rest to this day. Thus early was this mother left to face alone the weighty responsibility of rearing this large family, educating them with the meagre facilities at command in those days, and bringing them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. She lived to a ripe old age, loved and respected by all, a woman of pure life, and broad christian charity. Her sons, William, Frank, Josiah, and .Henry, were fine looking stalwart young men, affable in manner, j cordial in nature and kindly of heart, the apple of their mother's eye, and I the pride of her life. In her widowed condition it was; doubly hard to give them up when the tocsin of war sounded. ..The quartette were all married, and had children ana happy homes, realizing that their duty was first of all to their country, promptly volun teered for service and amid tears and agonized farewells of mother and wives, marched away to the field of duty to do and die; if must be, for the eternal right. William, Frank, and Josiah joined Co. G, 17th S. C. Volunteers, of which company William was made captain and Josiah lieutenant. They saw service in many of the severe battles of the war, all three of them being wounded. William was shot in the side at the second battle of Manassas. He died from the effects of this wound in IS69 at Monticello, Florida, where his ashes repose. His widow, who was Gabriella Ferrabee, of Beaufort county, died in March, 1917, at Summerville, S. C. Frank was wounded in the leg at Petersburg, Va., and Josiah received i slight wound in a skirmish at Golds-1 boro, N. C. Henry, the youngest son, was a member of Capt. William Peeples's company, and served'in the calvalry on the coasts of the state of South Carolina. He died several years ago, an j honored inmate of the Confederate \ soldiers' home at Columbia and is 1 ? * 11~?. U.. + 1-1 ljuiicu iieai Aiicuuaic uy inc oiuc ui his wife, who was Sophia Hay. Josiah, the "Uncle Joe," who was so long .identified with Bamberg and her interests, whom everybody knew, and everybody liked, died in 1912, and is buried at the Moye burying ground near Buford's Bridge by the side of his wife, who was Eugenia Moye. In sight of this burial place is the site of a store where for many years he was a prosperous merchant. Frank is the only surviving member in this gallant Quartette, and makes his home with a daughter in Colleton county. His wife, who was Sallie Moye, of Cuthbert, Ga., died several years ago. He is S3 years old. Bent and feeble in the form which so proudly and honorably wore the gray, trembling are the hands which so gallantly and bravely carried the death dealing musket, weary are the feet which trod gory fields and weary marches; but there is fire in his eye and strength in his voice when he tells of the days of the sixties with their horrors of anxiety and suffering and XKCiliOES SLAIN BY MOB. White Men Chase Their Victims and Apply Torches to Houses. East St. Louis, 111., July 2.?At least fifteen negroes were shot and killed by mobs here tonight as they ! fled from their burning homes which ! had been set on fire by white mobs. | The exact number who perished in (the burning homes, if any, is unknown and will not be ascertained until morning, when the ruins are searched. Military rule was proclaimed at 8 o'clock tonight, and at the same time 300 white men were arrested and locked up at police headquarters. Negro quarters in various parts of the city are on fire and the flames reach the very edge of the business district. At 11 o'clock tonight estimates of the dead in today's race riot and fire range from fifteen to seventy-five, of whom two were white men. Buildings were still burning at four different points. The property loss was estimated by City Attorney Fekete at $3,000,000. Forty injured negroes and six injured white men were in one hospital and almost an equal number in another. Vast clouds of smoke rolled across the sky tonight from the burning district. The flames made some of the downtown streets as light as day and now and then a yelling mob rushed j down a street in pursuit of a negro or in search of newT excitement. I National Guardsmen loaded in automobile trucks dashed after the mob. The shouting died occasionally as bewildered people walked up and dowrn the streets wondering where the next outbreak would occur. The fire started about 6 o'clock I this evening and spread rapidly. Soon flames visible for miles were shooting into the sky. Hundreds of negro women, most of them carrying bundles that held their most precious belongings and leading small children fled across the bridge to shelter and safety with friends on the Missouri side. You put a lid on waste every time you seal a preserving jar. Frost doesn't nip canned vegetables. privation. Soon this fine old gentleman of the old school, this battle scarred hero of the most sublime conflict the world has ever known, will have joined his soldier brothers, and then we will think of them in the exquisite words of Ingersoll, the master of word painters: * "They are at rest. They sleep in the land they defended, under the flag they rendered stainless, under the solemn pines, the sad hemlocks, the tearful willows, and the embracing vines. They sleep beneath the shadows of the clouds, careless alike of sunshine or of storm, each in the windowless Palace of Rest." NETTIE OGILVIE SPEAKS. Bamberg, S. C., June 8, 1917.

C. | THE CHRISTIAN SABBATH Is it Saturday or Sunday? :;||| Tlie question of tlie change of the Sabbath from the seventh to the first dav of the week is one that /M is agitating the public mind throughout Christendom. In past centuries it has engaged public attention more or less. Theologians often wrestled with it, and fondly thoifght they had settled it; but the revolving years stili bring it 'to the surface; it , will not be suppressed. ' The age in which we live is peculiar. There is little reverence in its spirit for the opinion's of the ' hoary past. Everything is being investigated, and it is is not surprising that t|ie Sabbath question should have its share of public attention. There can be no Sabbath institution unless some DAY is observed as a Sabbath. To leave any day M of the seven to be observed as the Sabbath, at the option of humanity, would have much the same effect as to have no Sabbath at all; the jtevs of the week would stand upon an equality. The essence g of the institution requires the appointment of a particular day. Did God appoint such a day? If so, what day was it ? or has God for some reason, changed it to another day ? What day is now obligatory ? These are questions of great moment. They will be considered at the big tent by Evangelist S. R. Haynes on Thursday, Friday and Sunday nights, 4 under the subjects of 44 The place of the Law of God in Society (Thurs "The Sabbath; Is it Sunday?" (Friday night.) - . I "Who Changed the Sabbath?" (Sunday night.) Another most important and interesting subject will be considered the four nights following under d the heads: . Monday, July 9?"Has Man an Immortal Soul?" Tuesday, July 10?"Where Are the Dead?" Wednesday, July 11?"The Punishment of the Wicked; is it to be Eternal Torment or Eternal Destruction?"
