How the Insurgents Fight.

New York Special
Lieut.. Winston Churchill, of the British
army, who has been in Cuba for the past
fortnight, is on his way back home. In a
cabled account OF his experiences on the
field. Churchin says that the country trav-
ersed by General Valdez with whom he
served as spectator. is the worst he ever
saw. Sancti Spiritus, the seaport at which
he disembarked. is at present enjoying four
separate pestilences, Of which yellow fever
and smallpox are the most virulent MANY

as a typical Cuban battle. Fifty disciplined

Mr.. futile Replies to Mr.. walker.

RALEIGH, N. O., Oct. 49,
To the Editor of the News and Observer:
In reply to Mr.. 7. Carl Walker, Dc
sire to say:
First. He is astonishe1 that should
join the Calamity howlers." He forgets
that the scribes and pharisees regarded
Christ as a calamity bowler against their
church; that concerning these "last
days" Paul is terrific calamity bowler.
Let hi read 2 Tness. 2: II, and 2
Tim 8: II. Such accusations, high
sounding accusation do not brighten
me.
Second. He says: $50 say that no man
of means is, at this time, likely to be
disciplined by the church, is to say the
church, as al organized body has prac-
tically lost its utility"
He accused me of making assertions
which are without foundation in fact. !"
Will Mr.. Walker give us some facts
Will he please send me the names of
some rich men who have recently been
disciplined or turned out of the church |?
He can report for the entire State, and
for all the denominations. Would be
glad to have the names of the pastors
who did it, also when, and what Tor. L
hereby promise him that for every such
fact | can tell him of rich Methodists,
and some poor ones too, who drink,
dance, go to theaters, gamble in stocks,
etc, and pastors do not ''molest or make
afraid. -
Third. He says 1T is fact very
much to be deplored that many of our
North Carolina preachers are, from all
indications, steering so near the shoals
of sensationalism. How many of these
breaches does he know from personal
knowledge TO be guilty of this charge
The preacher VINO creates the greatest
sensation now is the one who throws a
broadside of gospel truth into the ranks
of sin, and then applies that gospel by a
firm and aggressive use of discipline If
offenders do not quit their meanness.
Finally there seems to be great desire
on the part of some folks for preachers,
who are not afraid to use discipline, to
quit the church But we wont. We will
remain and still try to save, and if we
can't, then "turn the rascals out
