About one month ago my child,
which is fifteen months old, had an
attack of diarrhoea accompanied by
vomiting. [ gave it such remedies
as are usually given in such cases,
but as nothing gave relief, we sent
for a physician and it was under his
care for a week. At this time the
child had been sick for about ten
days and was having about twenty
five operations of the bowels every
twelve hours, and we were coDvinc-
ed that unless it soon obtained relief
it would not live. Chamberlain s
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rene
dy was recommended, and / decided
to try it. | soon noticed a change
for the better; by its Continued use
a complete cure was brought about
and it is perfectly healthy.-C. l..

T1Prox County's ex-Confederates

TIPToN County's ex-Confederates
held their annual reunion last week
near Covington. This custom has
been followed by these old rebels
for many years. On the above men,
toned occasion, Senator Thomas B.
Turley was the orator of the day.
He was introduced by the chairman,
Captain G. B. Simonton, as "Private
Tom Turley." Among other things,
Mr.. Turley said: "These Confed-
crate reunions are remarkable In
many respects-remarkable in the
fact that they have for years been
held openly and fearlessly III the
face of the government against
which those who originated and
perpetuate them struggled and con-
tended; remarkable in the fact that
although as the months and years
go by, the vacancies in the ranks
become more marked and numerous,
still these reunions are not diminish
ed, either in attendance or interest;
but more remarkable is the history
of our people from the downfall of
the Confederacy to the present time.
In all previous civil wars, the de-
feated have been proscripted and
participation in the government of
their country prohibited for genera
tions; yet in less than ten years, our
local and state governments were
irrevocably in control of ex-Confed-
crates and ex-Confederates filled
seats in the upper and lower houses
of the Federal Congress, also on
the Federal bench and later in the
Presidents cabinet"

Trouble with Cubans.

SANTIAGO, August l6.--Trouble
with the Cubans is breeding. Their
attitude is one of sullen hostility
toward Americans. The better class
in Cuba favor the annexation of the
island TO the United States and a
majority of the masses are ready and
anxious to work and accept the
shelter and protection afforded by
an American protectorate, but they
were Influenced by a certain class
of rabid orators and breeders of Sc
dition and rebellion against anything
smacking of law and order.
This infammatory class demands
and urges the recognition of Cuba
for Cubans and spurns all offers or
suggestions tending to prosperity
under an American protectOrate and
excites popular discomfort. This
is exactly the class that
pushes itself most into evidence and
whose views and opinions are most
overheard and published.
Their advice TO the Cubans is to
repudiate all offers of peace or a
cessation of hostilities and to look
upon an armistice as an agreement
between the United States and Spain
on their own account and not bind
ing upon the free and Independent
state of Cuba, whose liberating ar
my not only repudiates specifica-
tions, but will ignore the armistice
to the point of continuing to wage
war and shooting down every Span
lard in the field.
A wild rumor is afoat to the eff
feet that the Cuban army will attack
Santiago and capture it to the glory
Of the Cuban arms, as soon as the
American garrison is weakened.
This is directly traceable to the
same source.
The influence exerted by such a
body of men against law and order
is formidable. This hysterical peo-
pie demands suppression with an
iron hand. While still in embryo
this influence is still felt among GER
tain classes who refuse to work or
serve the government until a clear
statement of freedom and independ-
ence of their country is made clear.

Miss Wheeler Writes on San
tiago Hospitals.

WASHINGTON, Aug. IA recent
private letter received from Miss
Annie Wheeler, daughter of Major
General Wheeler, under date of San
tiago Hospital, July 25, gives an in
teresting and vivid glimpse into the
true situation among the wounded
at the front. A paragraph or so
touching the subject is reproduced:
CATER trying hard for a long
time / reached here with 80 good,
trained nurses, but on account of
the fearfully exaggerated accounts
of yellow fever, none was allowed
to land except immunes. Gen Miles
made an exception in my favor on
account of my father and brother
being here with the army, but at
the same time he strongly advised
me not to come; even told me that
IL WOuAu NC dAinOSl OCA llAu NCoGh
and that there were dozens of cases
of yellow fever in every regiment.
"Papa's division and others were
in such fearful condition that it
%as my duty, he sai6, to go with
'"ers to Porto Rico, but some
how could not see my duty in
that light-it seemed to me that
the greater the danger they were in,
the greater need of me, especially
if they had but little attention.
"Finally l triumphed and was al
lowed to report to Miss Barton for
duty. Here l found my brother
very ill. l feared at one time he
W ould not recover. In order to at
tend at his bedside / was obliged to
ride horse back on a cavalry saddle,
side-fashion, of course, six miles to
camp in the morning and back each
evening every day. l am happy to
say that he is much better now and
l am still enabled to work here in
the hospital,
"My heart bleeds over our poor,
accomplishing soldiers who fought
so bravely and well and bore the
sharp, short agony of the field and
the hopelessness of the hospital
with equal fortitude and unmur-
muring heroism.
"The American soldier is to me
the grandest specimen of mankind.
"There are so many patients here
and so few nurses that / feel there
is little in comparison that / can do
for them. And they arc so pitiful-
ly grateful for that little!. 1t will
be a pathetically beautiful memory
to me all my life, the light of the
glad expressions in their suffering
eyes when one of us comes near with
any little thing for their comfort.
'One of the patients said that the
hospital could not be recognized as
the same place before and after the
women nurses came to care for them.
81 am too tired at night to eat or
sleep, but / am so happy in my work
here that only wish l had the
strength to do ten times as much"
