A WAR SACRIFICE RECALLED.
A South Carolina Mother Who Cave
Her Four Sons to the Confederacy.
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

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.

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."

PREVENT HOG CHOLERA.
The B. A. Thoma? Hog Powder has
a record of 95 1-2 per cent, cures of
Hog Cholera. If you feed your hogs
as directed, you need never fear hog
cholera nor any other hog disease.
And the directions are very simple,
just about what you are doing, plus
a few cents worth of B. A. Thomas

Usually, though, Cholera gets in
before we know it. Then it requires
close attention to each hog?each

dose them as directed, you will save
better than 90 per cent. If you
don't the B. A. Thomas medicine costs
you nothing. We?not some distant

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?"
Thursday, July 12?"The Rich Man and Lazaa
