DENMARK, July 30.-When the Spanish
American War was about to engage the
entire attention of the American Nation,
a young lad of boy left Denmark for
Cuba, obeying the call for volunteers, and
is to-day in active service in the hospital
corps. That young man is Leonard Han
berry, son of DR.. Hanberry, who resides
near this town. 1t may be of interest to
many citizens of Bamberg county to read
the following, taken from the Havana
Post. A personal letter from Mr.. Han
berry to one of his Denmark friends gives
more graphic account of thewhole affair:
0The Quick Work of Hanbury Saves 4
Life-Training of the Hospital Corps
of the Army Made this Act of a Sol
dier Possible-Soldier was Stabbed
Was Bleeding to Death when Han
berry, Attracted by the Crowd, was
Drawn to the Assistance of Hender
son.
"If the officers of the army make prac-
sice of rewarding the commendable acts
of privates, the case of Private Hanberry,
of Quemados, deserves quick recognition.
If there is better place for that soldier,
he should be promoted to it at once.
The action of Private Hanberry illus
trates the great value of the training re-
ceived by those who are members of the
hospital corps. The soldier was walking
leisurely along the streets of QuemadO
Sunday night when his attention was at
tracted by crowd of soldiers and natives
who appeared from the distance to be
excited.
"The member of the hospital corps went
directly to the scene and found 4 soldier,
Private Henderson, bleeding to death
from wound which he had received from
a Cuban during fight. The man had been
stabbed by large knife by the coward,
who caused q wound two inches long and
another one and half inches deep in the
left axilla, seyering the arteries, veins and
nerves. Hanberry took in the situation at
a glance and took charge Of the wounded
man, assuming a degree of authority in
order to prevent interference with his
work. He saw that the man was in great
danger, but the training he had received
stood him well. He was not in the least
excited, and with the GOODNESS of sur
geon of long practice he skilfully applied
a tourniquet which, without doubt, saw
ed his comrades life
$50 skilfully had the work been per-
formed that it received a most favorable
mention from the surgeon who afterwards
took the man in charge, and who testified
to the fact that the private of the hospital
corps, by unusually skillful work. had
saved the life of the soldier"
There are other young men in the field
of labor, battling for distinction in the
trades of art and industry. Harry B. Rice
and William Jennings of this place are
now traverSing belt of Western States
aiding in the construction OF Long Dis
tance Telephone from Eastern cities to
St. Louis on the Mississippi. These two
young men have experienced some of
the recent hot wave, but still they cling
to their work The telephone officials
speak very highly of them and have
shown appreciation OF their work by
making handsome raise in their salary.
Rice and Jennings, possessing rs they do
character and energy, will rise higher and
higher in the estimation Of their employees
The day is not far distant when they
will experience the qualification made
possible by still higher salaries and more
responsible positions of trust. They are
the very young men this great corporation
is looking for. They are the men to make
such large business wonderfully sue
cessful.

ed at the Methodist church last Sunday
Capt. Guess, the wide awake superinten-
dent, deserves the sincere praises of all
for tile very excellent conclusion Of this
pleasing exhibition of the talents and
spiritual progress of band of Christian
