Dangers cf the Grip.

The greatest danger from La
Grippe is Of its resulting in pneu-
monia. If reasonable care is used.
however, and Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy taken, all danger will be
avoided. Among the tens Of thous-
ands who have used this remedy for
la grippe We have yet to learn OF a
single case having resulted in pneu-
monia which shows conclusively that
this remedy is certain preventive OF
that dangerous disease. 1t will cure
la grippe in less time than any other
treatment. 1t is pleasant and safe
to take. For sale by J. E. kauf-

General Buffers Report.

Washington, Jan. 3o.-General NJ.
C. Butler was given hearing by the
Senate committee on military affairs
today, in regard to affairs in Havana,
where he has been recently stationed
as one of the evacuation commission.
He gave detailed account of the re.
cent clashes in that city between the
Spanish soldiers and Cubans. He
expressed the opinion that General
Brooke's order forbidding participa-
tion in the evacuation ceremonies by
the Cubans was necessary precau-
tion and that if il had not been is-
sued there would have been trouble.
The Spanish residents were exceed
ingly nervous. At the same time, he
thought the Cubans should be treat
ed literally and allowed to psrtlcl-
pate to a considerable extent in the
conduct of public affairs. He be-
lieyed that the Cuban soldiers conld
be utilized, and that if there was an
organized force Of such soldiers un-
der American command they could
be utilized in maintaining order, even
among the Cubans. He dwelt at
some length upon the excessive taxes
imposed under the old system.
General Butler expressed the opin-
ion that in time the Cuban people
would be capable of self government
but that they should be given. an op'
portunity to quiet down and get
used to more liberal administration
than they had ever known. He said
in reply to a question from Senator
Carter, that census Of the Cabans
would be advisable.

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
I have been thinking for some
time about writing something for
your valuable paper concerning the
Orangeburg Baptist College Of which
I am student. The school hereto
fore has been known as the Orange
burg Co Educational Institute, but
at recent meeting of the board
of trustees the name was changed to
the above. At the same meeting
Prof. Owens was re elected President
and Prof. Meadors Vice President,
each for FIVE years. From the sue
cess Of the present year under their
management we know the result that
will follow in the next five years is
scarcely more than a dream to those
who love the institution, who may
not know them as we do.
President Ovens during the past
year has made many valuable i'm,
provements upon both campus and
buildings. The enrolment for the
present year, having enrolled to date
about 40. The boarding depart
ment has about 100. The young
men are organized into two military
companies and are drilled by Prof.
Owens. They have beautiful Con-
federate gray uniforms with palmetto
buttons, which they wear on all dress
occasions.
The young ladies have uniforms Of
same color trimmed in black braid
with palmetto buttons, and have
oxford caps.
Prof. Ovens has charge of the
young men in one building while
Prof. Meadors and wife have charge
of the girls in Ashley Hall.
The school has six teachers, all Of
whom are highly honored and
esteemed by all the pupils. I have
never seen a school 80 full of en-
thusiasm. I can most heartily
recommend the school to any young
man or young woman who may de-
sire an education and especially to
those of limited means. The total
cost per month for tuition, board,
lights and fuel is only So 90.

given to demonstrate it's merit the
more "powerful it will become" He
admits that is nonsense to talk
about enforcing a law not supported
by public sentiment" and claims that
three fourths of the counties would
90 prohibition. Now there is about
10000 voters in this State, of which
he got only about 1900 in the first
primary last summer, which was
considered the full prohibition vote,
and the dispensary must be rapidly
leading to prohibition if his predic-
tion is true, or else it would be worse
than nonsense" to try to force pro-
hibition npon them.
Then why disturb the peace of the
State by forcing elections on coun-
ties that are now satisfied? And
why take the step backward and
abandon to their fate his brethren in
the counties that would 90 high
license"
If three-fuurths of the counties
would go prohibition, why not amend
the dispensary law so that all that
wished to could hold elections and
vote out the dispensary? This would
be genuine local option" as to the
sale of liquor without bringing to
life The county "whiskey rings"
Mr.. Featherstone' failure to attack
the merit or moral features of the
dispensary is high endorsement OF
it, and why is he so frepzied against
it's political features? It matters not
what circumstances evolved il, or
what political faction suggested it, if
it's features produce sobriety, pre-
serve good morals and pays a hand
some profit. Its birth should not
damn it. If Mr.. Featherstones wish
prevails he will construct q political
machine composed of prohibitionists
and high license people, an unnatu-
raj, abnormal and impossible alliance.
At the last primary election the
people sustained and endorsed the
dispensary through an exponent that
was obnoxious to thousands OF them.
The strength of the cause espoused
by Mr.. Feasherstone was shown in
the first primary-his vote in the
second is attributables to the unpop-
ularity Of his opponent and the sup
port of the liquor element. [ sim
cerely wish that prohibition was pos
sible, but do not hope for it through
such alliances as he proposes.

London, Feb. S.-An inkling of the

today from the president of the
European Filipino Junta, who, like

he said, "tbe Americans will have to
depend for food supplies on ship

anything from the interior OF the
island of Luz ID, or from any other OF
the islands.
"Aguinaldo will take to the noun
tains, about five miles from Manila,
and it will be impossible for the
Americans to dislodge him. He does
not want to take the city, because he
realizes that even could he do so, he
could not hold the place against the
Ame. ican warships."

TO FIGHT THE BELL COMPANY
Movement for a Pooling of inter-
ests by Independent Telephone
COMPANIES,


Capitalists in nesry all of the large
cities in the United States are to join
together in gigantic pool against the
Bell Telephone company, and to build
up a rival concern. Negotiations have
been in progress in this city for sew
eral days, says the ST. Louis Globe
Democrat, with the end in view of n
teresting ST. Louis capital in the ven-
ture. A degree of secrecy has been
observed owing to the fact all of the
plans of the promoters of
the scheme have not been
matured. Three ST. Louis capitalists
will probably enter the big pool. One
of these is known to be AdOlphus
Busch, but the existing business rela-
lions of the other two gentle men are
such that their names are withheld
for the present. The prime mover in
the venture is conceded to be Hopkins
J. Hanford, the organizer of nearly
all the opposition that has sprung up
in the United States to the Bell com
pany since the expiration of the Bell
patents. Mr.. Hanford makes his home
in Evanston, ILL.,, but being largely in
crested in the Kinloch Telephone
Company, spends three or four days of
each week in ST. Louis. He was seen
early last evening at the Planters
Hotel. and when asked about the con-
Germ said:

for business and hope to organize
telephone company In New York City
soon. Further than that l am not
prepared to say at this time. II is pos
sible that all of the telephone compa-
MES in the different cities which |
have organized may be united, but that
is matter for the future to decide.
Right now we are interested in getting
franchise in New York City. Only
three ST. Louis capitalists are interest
ed in the New York venture"
Mr.. Hanford would not give the
names of the St. Louis gentlemen. but
he did not deny that Mr.. Busch was
one of them. 1t is generally under
stood that when an exchange is es-
tablished in New York City and few
other large eastern cities there will be
movement for long distance tele-
phone service. and when the
there will be pooling of all in
terests. Patrick Egan, formerly
United States minister to Chill, is in
terested with Mr.. Hanford in nearly
all of his ventures, and is backing the
effort to secure franchise in New
York. He was in the city yesterday,
and this gave rise to the rumor that
there WAS secret conference going on
at the Planters, with the object of
forming big telephone pool. Mr..
Hanford said that there was no found
alton for such rumOr. He said that
all that had been done was without
an attempt at secrecy. The only
business he oand Mr.. Egan bad here
wasu to interest the three St. Louis ca
pitalists in the New York venture and
to look after their interests in the
Kinloch company. 1t was said that
Mr.. Charles H. Aldrich, of Chicago,
was party to this conferences. Mr..
Hanford explained this by saying that
Mr.. Aldrich was the attorney who had
assisted in getting the franchise
through in Chicago, and hence his
name has become associated with the
| telephone business. Mr.. HanfOrd said
Mr.. Aldrich was not in ST. Louis yes
terday.
So far Mr.. Hanford has organized
