A CRITICAL TIME
During the Battle Of San
tiago.
SICK OR WELL, a RUSH
NIGHT AND DAY.

The Packers at the Battle Of Santi
ago de Cuba were all Heroes.
Their Heroic Efforts in Getting
Ammunition and Rations to the
Front Saved the Day.
P. E. Butler, of pack-train No. 3,
writing from Santiago, De Cuba, on
July 23k, says: I'VE all had diar-
rhoea in more or less violent form,
and when we landed we had no
time to see doctor, for it was
case of lnsh and rush night and day
to keep the troops supplied with am
munition and rations, but thanks to
Chamberlain Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoes Remedy, We were able to
keep at work and keep our health; in
fact, sincerely believe that at one
critical time this medicine was the
indirect saviour of our army, for if
the packers had been unable to work
there would have been no way get
ting supplies to the, front. There
were no roads that a wagon train
could use. My comrade and my
self had the good fortune to lay in
supply of this medicine for our pack
train before we left Tampa and I
know in four cases it absolutely
saved life"

Again: The church needs both an
educated laity and ministry. En-
lightenment is the great bulwark CT
the church. Every year hundreds OF
young men 60 out from the colleges
and seninaries TO work in the vine
yard of the Lord. Yet the church is
still in need of more trained young
men and women who will teach in
the Sunday school, who will be active
officers in the church, and who will
be energetic, Jealous living examples
Of Chit. Ministers teach your peo-
pie that their boys and girls must be
schooled to meet the great RESPONSE
bilities of the church if it is to sus-
tain in the future, the great, the
good and noble influence it has
exerted in the past.
And again: We should educate the
child because it can be done so cheap.
I think, it can be said trutbfully
that an education is in the reach Of
every one. All over this land is
established common schools, in every
village are high schools, in the cities
are colleges, bringing education in
the reach of all. Ten years ago it
cost boy three hundred dollars to
60 to college; now he can 60 for less
than half that amount. A boy can
now attend our high schools for less
than sixty dollars year.
Parents, if you wish to give your
child anything give it to him in edu,
cation. It is the safest investment
YOU can make. It will draw the
largest interest. "a wise son maketh

To The Editor of the Dispatch:
Permit me space for brief &C

It is scarcely necessay to say that
I particularly value the endorsement
given me by old Orangeburg county,
where was born and reared.
A comparison of the recent vote
with that of two years ago shows
that the opposition to me when CEN
tered upon a man from my own
county cast but about 800 votes more
in the county than were cast two
years ago when my opponent was
from Sumter county.
In the whole county my majority
was 81 to /; in my own club 1t was
nearly 3 to 1; while the. city OF
OraDgeburg gave me nearly 2 to l.
For the first time since I have been
before the people both the clubs at
the Court House gave me majority.
All these things, I repeat, but add
to my sense of responsibility. They
will stimulate me to greater activity
in the future.
Toward those who opposed me
honorably I entertain no animosity.
Tney exercised their inalienable right.
/ shall endeavor to represent them
inpartially and worshily.
With ill-will toward none and
charity toward ALL.
Very truly,

Why We Should Educate.
10 the Editor of the Dispatch:

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
We should educate our children
because it is our duty to do so. Tie
Holy scriptures say, train up a
child in the way he should go and
when he gets old he will not depart
from it." We are thus admonished
to encourage and urge the child to
prepare himself for the responsible
ties of life. To let him alone as be
naturally is an open and fragrant vio-
lation of the divine command. In
Proverbs we are taught to get wis
dom; to get understanding; to get
knowledge. Lets heed this impera
tive call to duty.
Second. We should educate our
children because the welfare Of the
State demands it. A free an impair
tial government, to be lasting and
enduring as time, must have an en-
lightened people for it's pillars to rest
upon. No country can rise higher
than the lest of its subjects. The
harsh, cruel savage recognized the
fact that he must perpetuate the
nobility of his tribe by teaching his
son the sayings, customs, and laws
of his people. 1t is principle laid
deep down in the human constitu-
tion that some one must lead; some
one must rule. Soon the good and
us:iring rulers of the present, will
lay tie armor aside. Then when the
State begins to cast about for a new
Shield Bearer, if it should fall on
Your SOD, have him prepared, trained
and equipped to do the offices Of the
State wisely, faithfully and heroically.
Some ones son must fill IL e;e hon

Sad as separations may be, biting
as bereavements always are, none to
me can so bitter be, as that Of
taking the "Babe." Such scene was
the writer's, when on Saturday pignt,
August 20. 1892, at 10 o'clock, God
in His wisdom, took occasion to
transplant from earth to glory, the
soul of little Homer, the infant son
of Mr.. and Mrs. DR.. E. j. Etberedge.
Homer, scarcely year old, lacking
yet one week, was the JOY of fathers
heart, the treasure of a mothers
bosom, the idol of a household, in
spring father to nobler ambition,
pointing mother to higher aspera-
tions, enliveniDg gloomy qnietnde
into CHEEKY happiness.
Little Homer, though so young,
had won place in every ones heart,
entwinipg around himself the admi-
ration and esteem of an entire village
town, for he was fat and CHEEKY, and
always laughingly sweet. In minds
imaginative eye, I see him as write,

every ingenuity of competent physici-
ans; every assistance of warm friends;
all were made, given, tried and rem
dered. Humanity's experiences ex-
hausted for relief, faithful nursing
by trusty friends. Indeed all, every
thing to human known was done, but

Then, oh! the anguish Of bitter be-
