The Temple Repaired" Chron.
"a: 4-I3. Read 2 Kings IL and II.
Golden Text-"And the men did
the work faithfully" Chron. ga:
II.
The temple had been broken up by
Athaliah, the mother OF king Ahaz.
iah, who did evil in the sight of the
Lord, for his mother was his counsel
lor to do wickedly And when Ahaz-
iah had been put to death by the
Lord tor doing wickedly, his mother
destroyed all the seed royal, but one
son, Joash, then year old, who was
hid from her in the house OF God, six
years. And when he was seven years
old Jehoiada, the priest, made him
king, and put his grandmother to
death.
Then Joash repaired the temple,
and the ransom for the soul, accord
ing to the command of Moses,
amounting to 27 cents, was asked
from each person in this way: Je-
hoiada took a chest, and bored hole
in the lid, and set it beside the altar,
and all the offerings were put in it,
with rejoicing.
And Joash did that which was right
in the sight of the Lord all the days
of Jehojada the priest, for forty years;
but when the priest died, Jodsh lis
tened to wicked counsellors and fol-
lowed idols. Then the Lord by His
prophet said to Joash, why trans
gress We the commandments of the
Lord, that ye cannot prosper Because
We have forsaken the Lord, He. also
hath forsaken you" But they stoned
the prophet to death. And the Lord
sent small army of the Syrians, and
delivered a very great host of the
army of Joash into their hand, be-
cause they had forsaken the Lord God
of their fathers. And his own SER
wants killed Joash in his bed, and he
was not buried in the sepulchres of
the kings.
God has power to help and to de-
stroy. Nothing is too hard for Him.
BY believing that Jesus is the Christ,
His Word declares that we are royal
born, and shall never die, and shall
not come into Judgment, because we
have passed from death unto life.
The royal proclamation Of the King of
kings, to us who believe on Him, is
this: II give unto them eternal
life, and they shall never perish. "
Surely goodness and mercy shall
follow me all the days of my life; and
I will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever

Not being able to arm all who wish
to fight for their country, Gomez mus
tiers large number Of unarmed men,
who do the labor of the camp, cook and
attend upon the wants of the officers and
soldiers and fight when they can pick
up arms from the field or capture them.
The most soldierly Of these are retained
in the ranks after they show mettle and
their places filled by raw patriots. If
an armed soldier disgraces himself in
any way, he is reduced to the grade of
a disarmed man, and his weapons are
given TO another.
Gomez never hesitates to reduce Off
GERS TO the ranks and make them fight
as private soldiers if they are guilty of
cowardice or INSTRUMENTATION. Mr.. Flint
describes one Of Comets trips through
the provinces to spur the insurgents up
to their work. He degraded high officers
upon proof Of their guilt, shot some of
the worst of the offenders and dragged

Gomez is both feared and loved by
his followers He has made soldiers out
of peasant louis and officers out of roist-
ering young bloods who were before
wasting strength and talent in social
rebellion which could only end in death
or disgrace IN other words, Gomez has
given the Cubans stern work to live for
and bright hopes to sigh for. He lifted
up and made strong the lowly and
welded the strong into chain which
Spain could never rend apart.
Mr.. Flint describes it as an inspiring
sight to see Gomez in battle. With his
hat cooked ON one side, his machete
twirling at his wrist and his eyes flash
ing he looks 20 years younger than he
really is. The Cubans go into close bat
tie with their machetes in the right
hand and their carbines in the left,
resting across the pommels of their sad
dies They slash down the barbed wire
distractions by blows of the machete,
cutting the posts off so as to lay the
whole structure low.
The most effective method of fighting
among the insurgents is machete
charge. The Spaniards don't like that
at all and always take position be-
hind ravine or thicket where the Gu
bans cannot get at them in masses. At
Saratoga Gomez played all around the
Spanish lines to induce them to come
out into the open, but they hung back.
Gomez and his staff always ride at the
front At Saratoga five of the staff were
wounded in five different skirmishes
The Spaniards ran away at Saratoga
when they found that they could no

soldiers in the last blow for their rights
A glance into the secrets of Gomez $
camp reveals the marvellous work of
this later Toussaint. The Cuban war
lord is described by Grover Flint in his
recent book, Marching With Gomez, "
as gray little man whose clothes do
not fit well, but his keen eyes strike
like a blow from the shoulder The
will, the fearlessness and the experience
in those eyes make of their owner a
giant.
Gomez was born in Santo Domingo
and, like Lopez, the first great Cuban
war leader, be served in the Spanish
army against the Insurgents Of his ma
tive land. But time opened his eyes,
and when the Ten Years war in Cuba
broke out, in 1868, he was on the side
Of the patriots. With Modesto Diaz an
other ex-Spanish officer, he helped keep
the revolution going until Spain prom
Used needed reforms When the present
uprising took place in 1895, Gomez was
called upon to lead the army. He ac-
cepted the task solely on condition that
the commander in chief should be free
from the interference of the civil gov
eminent. At the outset the insurgents
had only the arms and ammunition
which the patriots had secreted in the
mountains back of Santiago at the end
Of the Ten Years war Flint calls the
first Cuban army a thin skirmish line of
soldiers; but, small as it was, Gomez
marched boldly into the Havana prov
inces, carrying the revolution to the door
Of every peasants hut and negro cabin.
Recruits fiocked around the banner Of
Gomez, and the small bands of outlying
rebels left their mountain hiding to
march against the Spanish garrisons.
There are three classes of natives in
Cuba heart and soul supporters of the
revolution. These are the native aristo-
Gratis, who own the most valuable prop
erty; the middle class Of small traders
who are ON the move upward from the
peasant class, and, lastly, the peasants
who till the soil in small holdings This
last class is the most numerous.
Gomez organized his army on paper
into divisions brigades, regiments and
companies. The companies are simply
neighborhood bands, and three or four
constitute regiment. They operate
primarily in the country where they are
at home and where they get their living
by foraging when necessary and by till
ing the soil. If an invading force of
Cubans marches through their territory,
they join it and remain with the column
until the expedition is ended or they are
needed at home again. In every expedi-
ton there are irregulars composed of
filibusters and deserters from Spain.

crush Gomez. If the insurgents got
short of ammunition, they had a reserve
stock hidden in the mountains. Their
harness shops and arsenals are hidden
in the hills also. 1t is easy to be seen
that it is tedious task to suppress an
uprising in which all sympathize
When the spirits of the people are low

along the skulkers who were hiding at
home on one pretense and another. 1t
was this phase Of Gomez's character
which caused Sylvester Scovel to write
home from the insurgent camp that the
Cuban war lord dominated his men by
severity and the power Of will, adding
that his temper was vile.

As to Smallpox and Vaccination.

At this writing It seems that the
smallpox scare Is about over, that is,
as far as Newberry is concerned. Nei-
ther OF tho. suspects in the detention
house have so far broken out with the
disease, and we have heard Of no other
suspects In the county. Vaccination
has about ceased and several sore arms
are all that is left to remind persons Of
the recent alarm; however, 1t is best
yet to be cautious and on the alert, for
we may not yot be entirely safe.
DR.. s. Pope,. the public vaccinator,
has 80 far vaccinated 1897; Of this num-
Der 629 are whites, leaving 1903 ne
groes that have been yaccinated. In
addition to the above DR.. Pope has
vaccinated about so from tho country
and revaccinated 22l. The public vac
cinator gets no pay for revaccinating.

ing, deserves special mention. She is
one OF the most graceful dancers that
have ever appeared on tho Newberry
stage and is an actress Of ability, hav.
ing starred in somo Of the leading COM

great deal Of favorable comment
through the South n tow years ago
while starring in tho Little Nugget"
company, with JooCawthorn, ,and doubt
less will be remembered in Newberry.
