BULLER TO TRY AGAIN.
General Belief That He VIII Soon Max

General Belief That He VIII Soon Make
q Second Attack Mt Tugels.
LONDON, Jan. 8.-There is still no
important news from the front, but the
silence which has descended on Gem
eral Buffers huge force at the Tugela
river is believed to be the prelude of
another attempt to reach Ladysmith.
In the meanwhile the extraordinary
tenacity the Beers are displa aying around
Colesberg, where they even assume the
offensive, tends to detract from the sue
cess General French is supposed to
have achieved.
The latest news Of Colonel Pitchers
raid shows that some of the first ac-
counts conside erably exaggerated its ef-
feet on the Beers, and their sympaGhiz-
ers. While it is true he successfully
drove a couple Of hundred rebels from
Sunnyside, killing or WI wounding 80 and
capturing 49, Colonel Pitchers imme-
diate evacuation Of Douglass seems to
prove that he had information that
there was suffi cient mum ber Of Beers
in the neigh borhood to make his posi-
tion unsafe. ~
Indeed there is reason to believe that
only s,e' !, uis y slle pIlgaae
force Of 900 men sent BY General Cronie
from attacking Colonel Pitchers col.
umn, and as soon as The cavalry re-
turned to the Modder river, General
Cronje's troops reoccupied Sunnyside.
According to advices from Sterk-
stroeln the Beers have completely re-
tired from the neigh hborhood Of Mol
teno, but General Gatacre does not APP.

An Easy Winner.
Orangeburg Patriot.

Orangeburg Patriot.
From all indications at present.
Hon. J. Wm. Stokes will succeed
himself beyond question Of a doubt
If there is opposition to bis re-elsc-
ton, it is even less than on former
occasions. He was deservedly popu-
lar in previous campaigns, though
his opportunities for proving his fit
ness for the high trust reposed in
him were limited in a large measure.
The contests for bis seat greatly
hampered him. but as soon as these
and other impediments were obYlated,
he set out t. hard work. His efforts
we're directed mainly to the rural
mail service because this was about
the only branch of public service
that could be extended to auy COD
siderable number of the rural
population. The very limited expert
ments, tried at first, brought results
not expected by the most sanguine
friends of the rail service. This
summer will witness the service
vastly extended and we predict that
it is here to stay. 1t will stand as q
monument to the efforts and fore
sight of O:angeburg's Congressman
who has made a more enviable record
by his work than by speech-making.
Dr.. Stokes constituents in other
counties are equally pleased with his
fine record. 10 some sections of this
county there has been a decided
change Of sentiment and opinion re-
garding him. The St. Matthews
correspondent to the News and
Courier, discussing the local political
situation says:
"Political states are alresdy made
and the local campaign in this county
next summer promises to b lively
and interesting. So far no opposl-
ton is heard against Dr.. Stokes fer
Congress and it is doubtful whether
there is a man in this district At
present that a give him even a
close race" The above is significant
because it comes from an intelligent
community where formerly strong
opposition has existed against DR..
Stokes. We agree with this writer
that there is no man who could give
him a close c This is M time
We think be should have a clear h=ld
without opposition.

To tie z litor Of the D.spatc5:
Iregret to announce the death
yesterday p. m. of DR.. T S Fox.
The Doctor had been troubled
with some disease of the heart for
some days, bat few thought he was
so near the final collapse.
He was about G5 years old, was
bern in old Lexington, WAS educated
largely there and all'his life cheer
;shsd a strong inclination for the
| scenes OF his childhood. He was a
medical student at a New York col
eye, graduated and precticed for
some time in the New York Hospit-
ais, returning home be located in
Ursngeburg county, bat the out
break If the Civil war occurring soon
| after, he volunteered in Aiken's cav
airy, but was soon after appointed a
surgeon 10 the army, where he served
until the end Ct the war. In 1866
he located ia this section and since
then he has been one of the foremost
physicians in this section of the
State. He enjoyed a large practice
and was very successful, his jadg-
ment was almost unerring and he
was kind aud attentive in all cases.
Reasonable and common sense in his
methods.
Of late years he was much trou-
bled with rheumatism and in copse-
quence he had given up the most la
borious Of his practice and confined
bis work nearer home and also took
an interest in the drug business with
DR.. E.. K. Hardin.
The funeral exercises will be con
Quoted this afternoon at the Baptist
church, after which the Masons will
complete the ceremonies at the GEM
etery, and he will be laid beside his
father and mother, and with them,
will rest in the silent city of the
dead until the resurrection morn.
To the readers of the Dispatch
hs was we'll known, and his family
and friends here feel sure that they
have the sympathy of the entire
county.
Re leaves q wife and five children,
the youngest II or "A years of age.
He had been prosperous in his bust
ness and left his dear ones amply
provided for. Occasional.

County Teachers Association.

The association met in the Insti-
tute building on Saturday, February
24.b, at II NJ. The president, Mr..
J. F. Kaiser, presided owe the meet
ing. In absence of the secretary,
MI. L. A. Sease, the chair, appointed
Mr.. D. C. Drafts, secretary protein
The speakers for the various sub
iects were all absent except, MIR. R
E. SLealy, who opened the discus
sion on Teachers SaIa-:e."
Mr.. Shealy read an able paper on
this subject, after which various
members present entered into the
discussion. The drift Of the argu,
ment was that teachers could pre-
pare themselves, so that a demand
for efficient workers would increase
the salaries. Teachers should read
educational journals, study the
science Of teaching, attend the asso
Citations, aud summer schools, if they
expect to keep abreast with the age;
and by 50 doing would naturally be
better prepared for the occupation OF
teaching successfully.
Several new members were present
and enjoyed the meeting.
Many interesting suggestions were
made, and all present seemed to fee:
the benefit derived therefrom.
The following program vas ar
ranged for the next meeting, March
9Th, 1902:

were quickly taken in at Mr.. Ly
