THE OLD WAXHAW CEMETERY.
V
The tombstones that mark the
graves in the old Waxhaw cemetery
are getting old and the
inscriptions thereon are not
legible on many of them, making
it almost impossible to read
the dates, names, etc. A great
many of them are over
years old, and mark the last
resting place of some of the
early settlers of this county.
In view of the fact that this
cemetery is one of the oldest in
til O ot a tn 1 t 1i na Knssti n i i ^ .1
viiv ovtvw, iv iios i/rni
that a subscription be taken for
the purpose of having the tablets
and tombstones cleaned and
the lettering retraced and put
in legible shape so as to be
easily read. There is hardly a
family in Lancaster county but
what is in some way connected
with those who have been buried
in this historical cemetery ;
therefore, it would be nothing
but proper that this sacred spot
be taken care of. The cost of
the work would hardly exceed
. $100. This amount would be
and can be easiiy raised. One
gentleman has offered $10, another
$5, and there is a number
of others that would be glad to
subscribe a like amount. It has
been suggested that the matter
be taken up and carried through.
It would be an honor to the
county as well as of groat historical
value.
Beware of a Cough.
cough is not a disease but a symptom
Consumption and bronchitis,
which are the most dangerous and
fatal disease, have for their tlrst indication
a persistent cough, and if pr >perly
treated as soon as this cough appears
are easily cured. Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy has proven wonder0
fully successful, and gained its wide
reputation and extensive sale by its
success in curing the disease which
cause coughing. If it is not beneficial
it will not cost you a cent. For sale

I ____ i
i Military Critic Writes on Du- ;
ration of Boer War. i
Expects Organized Resistance to 1
Last 90 Days; Will take Six <
Months Longer to Occupy
South African Country.
Now York, May 13.?Sponsor i
Wilkerson of London, tho military
critic, in an article oh 1
"How long will tho Boer war
last?" which will appear in tho
forthcoming edition of Leslie's
j Weekly says :
In the summer of 1861 there
wore few men in or out of the 1
United States who foresaw that .
t<
the war of Secession would last t
for four years if any held that t
opinion he gained little credence o
for it at that time. In June. ri
1806, only those who had spo- ?
cial opportunities of knowing
the condition of the Prussian ^
army foresaw that the Austrian n
empire would he suing for peace r
within six weeks of the outbreak v
of the then pending hostilities. ^
The duration of war depends .
partly upon the nature of the c
country in which it is waged, a
but more upon the relative re- v
sources of the two belligerents 1
and the energy and determination
with which each of them ,
throws into it. The last named t
is probably the most important fi
factor. 0
1 have from the beginning ex- f
pected that the Boers would i
make a desperate fight. Accord- v
ing to their view, the cause for <1
which they are in arms is that *
of their independence, or their '
national existence, and for that (
r
cause every community will
tight harder and loneer than for
ail}7 other.
Great Britain is fighting for
the unity of her empire and for
the moral existence of the Brit- t
ish nation. It is a cause which <
appeals less directly to the in- *
telligence of the masses than *
that of independence and the
disproportion between the re- j
sources of the British empire s
and those of the Boer republics 1
is so great that neither the Brit- 1
ish government nor the con- 1
stituencies by whose tone it is
accustomed to guide itself, are
able to realize tlu> imnnrtnnoanf !'
I'vt Xft c
extreme exertions to hritig the
war speedily to an end.
a
In the present case the Brit- s
ish government, tho group of
politicians in charge of the *
nation's affairs is not yet more ?i
than half awake, and if the
provision hitherto made for the |
conduct of the war should prove ?
insufficient there would he considerable
delay before fresh exertions
by way of preparation
would produce a visible result.
1 hardly expect the resistance
of the Boer armies in the field
to be prolonged for more than
t^ree months, but I should not
be surprised if the effective
occupation of the whole country I
required a further six months ;
of continuous effort. I
There are now under I he com
maud of Lord Hubert* allege! her j
190,000 men, and even if the
most liberal deductions he made
tor casualties of all sorts, lor invalids,
for garrisons left on the
inuiiic;uion?, and ror iroops
stationed in the districrts lately
disaffected; and if we allow that
there may he in Natal 40,000 to
supply a field force of 30,000
there ie still abundant meterial
for IiOrd Roberts to attack the
Boers with a force outnumbering
their whole army. On the lowest
estimate of what the British com
mander of Natal can do, he must
hold fast a respectable fraction
of the Boer forces. The remain
der cannot, without, great danger,
fight a pitched battle against
Ix>rd Roberts, for in that case his
attack will certainly envelope
them and involve them in disas
ter. At the best they can delay
him and harrass his communica

BRONCHITIS
Bronchitis is very prevalent. It gen

Dr. JohnW. Bull's Cough Syrup is th<
