lets went a foot or more above our
bodies by the thousands. After we fired
seven volleys into them, we were ordered
to fix bayonets and charge. Away we
went and gained their first trenches, but
IL cost us three men. Then we fired
nine yolleys more and again were order
ed to charge. We gained the next In
trenchment, but not without losing two
more men.
One Of the killed, Ransom Close, a
great friend Of mine, was shot beside me,
It was at this point Of the battle that our
lieutenant, Mitchell was killed, and as he
dropped, Lieutenant Miles being next in
command, jumped to his feet and called.
Come on men, follow me, the block
house or die,"-"ChargeP Just then
the cry Of Remember the Maine"
came from the throat Of one Of our men,
and in an instant it was taken up by the
whole company, and away We went.
The blockhouse was taken at a loss Of
eight more men and twenty wounded.

account Of the battle.
The battle took place from 7:SO to 800
o'clock, and when we got into the block
house there were found sixty-three
killed, and the ground on the out side
covered with the bodies of dead and
wounded, but am here alive and well.
You zee we only had about as far as
500 yards to go after the first fire to
reach the blOckhOuse, so ask father what
kind Of fighting 1t takes to go 500 yards

A COUNTY HOSPITAL.
II Would Cost Abort Isl, 900 a Year to
a. Maintain,

The county board committee on hos.
pital will present its report at the next
meeting of the board, Jan. I'd. The
committee yesterday afternoon ascer-
tanned that the cost of maintaining
Tourtellotte hospital as county hospi-
tai would be about So, 600 a year. Of
this, S25 month each would be paid
for the hire of two Sisters as nurses,
and $1CO a year for a Sister in the
kitchen. The remaining 81, 300 would
be expenses for maintenance, repairs,
etc. The repairs needed at the present
time can be made for 5000. The hos
pital will accommodate twelve patients
easily and sixteen if necessary.
The cost of the present plan of caring
for the sick poor is about 81 900 year,
and is increasing, while the sick can
not receive the attention that they
could at the hospital. Com. Paddock
is favorable to leasing the hospital and
CONS. Killmer and Borchert will pro-
badly favor it If they do not think the
change too expensive. '"

FRIDAY.............J JUNE 2, 1899.


Whatever may be thought of the
merits and ACCESSIBILITY Of civil service
in itself. there is no reason TO be sur
prised AZ Mr. McKinley's amendment 10
the civil service rules. His order de-
classifying some four thousand positions
Is Just what was TO have been expected
1T is consistent with his inconsistency.
is OF piece with his record, and affords
but another evidence that Mckinley is
for Mckinley, first. last. and all the time.
Few men have occupied the presidential
chair VINO had greater opportunities than
William Mckinley to rise above partisan
considerations, achieve u reputation for
sincerity. and pass into history as the
President of the whole people. Events
c0nspired TO open the way for him TO be
81 leader and the conseryatOr and cham
pion of our Institutions. But he has
deliberately thrown away every chance
for reaching the height of the argument.
Time and again he has made public ut
terances that seemed TO Indicate that he
was welded to high and pure resolve
but at the crucial moment he has yielded
10 the malign influence Of those who rep
resented that the baser course would be
TO the interest of himself and the Re-
publican party.
This contention is placed beyond ques-
ton when we contrast his early delive-
RANGES touching going to war with Spain
and his early references to the future
Of the Philippines with his final policy
respecting both issues. An analysis of
each case shows that Mr.. Mckinley be-
trayed the confidence of the masses and
that his every step in each after conf
dence had been engendered was made
under the conviction that IL would lead
him nearer TO the goal of 1900 on which
he has had his eye ever since his inausu-
ration.
In his messages and in interviews he
gave out on the Cuban question, and in
his speeches on his swing around the
western circuit, and his southern tour,
Mr.. Mckinley simply manoeuvred to
render less effective the opposition to
his lingo and imperialistic programme,
which had been already determined upon
in the counsels of his advisers, and which
he had been convinced would help Will
liam Mckinley more than any other. AS
TO the Philippines, especially. he STAYED
off the issue until he felt safe TO spurn
the Constitution and declare boldly for
imperialism.
AS to civil service, he is well aware
that it. has an army Of advocates. and
no allowed himself 10 be considered a
civil service reformer in order not TO
antagonize that army until the hour
came for acting. and the time was pro-
pitious for putting the spoilsmen and
their friends TO work for Mckinley. Oh, |
no: in view of McKinley's record, there
Is no occasion for surprise AZ his order
Indeed, there is occasion for surprise that
IL is not more sweeping. As TO that, |
however. we shouldn't wonder il the !
amendment were amended before the |
presidential canvass of next year.

BOYDTON.
commencement Exercises-A severe
Storm-Othcr Mention.

CHASE CITY, VA, June 1.-(speciaL)-
The commencement exercises OF the
Southside Academy, held for three nights
this week. were highly interesting on
each occasion there were splendid auu-
ences. The delivery Of diplomas. dlstlhc-
tons. and medals. with the musical pro-
gramme and addresses, made IT ENJOY
able for all.
Appropriate addresses were made by
Rev. w. T.. Hart. Of Boydton; Rev. X. A.
Tucker. of Lawrencevilie; Rev. j. NJ:
Perry, of Charlotte; Rev. Mr.. wilkins, OIL
.Clarksville; Rev. j. NJ. Coleman, OF Meek
lenburg; Rev. j. II. Newbill. OF Cre"e;
Rev. II. r.. Williams, of Chase city, ana
Mr.. Berkeley Adams. OF Charlotte.
The storm here last night was OF UNI
usual severity. with wind. lightning, loud
and startling peals of thunder, and tor
rents OF rain. The steeple of the Prespy-
terrain church was struck and one sue
shivered. The current passed out through
the lecture-room in rear Of the church.
The damage to the interior OF the build
ing was not OF much magnitude Inc
church was fully insured in the Loudouh
Mutual Insurance Company OF Virginia.
For so early in the season there IS an
unusually large number OF visitors mere
for health and recreation. The portcos
and extensive lawns of the hotels III the
evening present an animated scene.

THE REAL REASON.

Four thousand volunteers have sent a
petition 20 Washington asking 10 be al
lowed to remain in the Philippines on
their discharge. as they wish TO aid in the
industrial development of the islands
This news will be a heavy blow 10 Mr.
Atkinson and his anti-imperialistic league,
after all their strenuous endeavors to
induce the volunteer soldiers to clear out
Of the philippines. bag and baggage
The Baltimore American.
II that fair statement Of the case?
Is It not fact that If the volunteers
wsro discharged at Manila each one OF
them would receive quite little for
tune In mileage; vastly more than he
would have 10 pay for his return pas
sage ON q frst-class Pacific steamship?
From private letters that we have seen,
we think 1t improbable that many of our
volunteers would like 10 make their
homes In the Philippines. In fact, most
OF them are ''crazy" To return 10 this
country as soon as possible. ma

From Flumen, Rockbridge county,
comes the report OF the death of many
horses i'm that part OF the county from
a peculiar disease. which is thought to
be epidemic. Many of the horses are
unfit for work, owing TO this disease
Some of them that have the disease do
not show any symptoms OF IL except for
an occasional cough and by being stupid.
In instances they refuse TO drink water
but seldom refuse TO eat. In most cases
the animal swells on top of the head and
back of the ears. The farmers are eager
to learn what remedy they can use to
save their horses, and what the disease
is.
Mr. Baum, Of Hanover county. has had
force OF hands at work on the Buena
Vista property for the past two months,
engaged in getting out chestnut ties,
which, Il IS said, are TO be used on
railroad in Cuba. Some 10000 or $4,000
have been gotten out.

A new sensation In church circles is a
recent attack made by Rev. DIR. Pelham
Williams an Episcopal clergyman, before
the Church Club of Long Island on Sun
day schools. DR.. Williams, among other
things, it seems, said:
Il do not believe in any Sunday school
that ever was. that ever is, or that ever
Will be. If | am misunderstood, | am
prepared to say it a little louder. My idea
of Sunday school is that it exists in
order to enable some people to experiment
with the souls of other peoples children.
They are totally and hOpelessly wrong.
The worst teaching in the United States
is the teaching in the name of God. under
the rules of the Sunday school, You don't
allow a man without a diploma to prac-
uce on dog, but you turn the souls of
your children over TO unknown persons"
This does, indeed sound startling.

The United Presbyterian Assembly.
which has been in session in the city Of
Philadelphia. has decided against allow
ing men TO marry their deceased wives
sisters. At least the body has declined
to repeal the present Confession of Faith
on that point. which reads as follows:
THE man may not marry of his wife's
kindred nearer in blood than he may of
his own; nor the woman of the husbands
kindred, nearer in blood than her own"
The question came up on a request of
the Chicago Presbytery to refer the mat
ter of repeal to the various presbyteries.
Our friends Of the United Assembly would
find the Virginia marriage laws against
them on this point.

Every city in the country is now being
searched for traces of the baby, Marion
Clarke. and the nurse. Carrie Jones, who
disappeared from Central Park, New
York, May 2lst. Circulars and photo
graphs sent out from New York police
headquarters-5O,OO0 in all-have now been
received in all the States, and the police
department Of every city has joined in
the hunt. 1t Is believed in New York,
however, that the abductor of the child
has been located and that the missing
baby will probably be found at some
small town in Fairfield county, Conn.
