STANDING OF THE CLUBS.
A HERO OF HEROES.
Capt. c. +. Siler Cried. Follow Me,
My Brave Men"

vw-z&y,
Capt. c. Il. Siler, who is building up
fine school at Osgood, is one of the men
who made North Carolina famous in the
Civil War The following thrilling in
cident from the Chatham Record will
be read with admiration by all true men:
NsIn his short speech ut the Veterans
Reunion at Mount Vernon Springs, Mr.
W..sp. Wood said that there were just
as brave men among his hearers as Bag
ley and Dewey and Hobson, and the
other heroes of our war with Spain.
And to illustrate the truth of his state
ment he cited an instance Of the bravery
of one of his hearers, which he had wit
messed at the battle of the Wilderness,
and pointed to Capt. G.. +. Siler, who
was the captain of his old company. He
said that when 81 charge was ordered
the color bearer of the regiment promptly
started forward, but was at once shot
dead. One Of the color-guard immediate
ly seized the falling flag. and he too fell
dead. Another of the color guard grab
bed the flag. but he also was instantly
killed. And then, although three men
had been so quickly killed with That
fatal flag, Captain Siler rushed to the
fallen flag and waving it aloft dashed to-
ward the enemy. calling out, Follow me-
my brave menr' And they did follow
him to victory. This was not the only
instance of Captain Siler's bravery, as
is attested by the scars of five wounds
which he still bears on his body. No
one would think that this battle-scarred
hero is the modest, quiet gentleman who,
ever since the war, has devoted his life
to the great cause of education, ana for
many years has been one of our States
foremost teachers. !"

RED CROSS HOSPITAL IN CUBA
Sternburg Thinks it the Government
Business to Establish a Hospital.


Washington, Oct. 15.-Surgeon General
Sternberg has written a letter to Mrs.
Winthrop Cowdin in New York, re-
garding the establishment Of a ed-Cross
Hospital in Cuba and Porto Rico, in
which he says:
Il have received your kind letter of
October 14th, enclosing a check for
$1,000 for my special fund for extra
comfort and luxuries for our sick and
wounded soldiers. Accept my sincere
thanks for this liberal contribution.
II do not think favorabIy of the es-
Establishment of hospital in Cuba OK
Porto Rico by the Red Cross Society, fol-
the reason that the war is over and the
garrisons which are TO be stationed in
these islands will require a fully equipped
hospital, which it is the duty of the
Government to provide and which we in
tend to provide.
II appreciate very highly the valuable
assistance which has been rendered by
the Red Cross Society; but / think it
would be demoralizing to our medical Of
ficers and to the service generally if we
should continue to depend upon the con-
tributions and voluntary assistance of
patriotic citizens for the care of our
sick in the islands which have come into
our possession"
