Paying The Pensions.

COLUMBIA, July Livery one in the
State is interested in the success and
workings of the Confederate pensions
given by the State to the dependent SOL
diers and their widows. All the pension
rolls have been received from the clerk
of Court Of the respective counties, and
are now on file with Secretary of State
Marshall.
From the roll of pensioners now on
hand there are 1882 who regularly re-
ceive the pension money. The chances
are that all of the pensioners have not
yet applied and that the roll will yet
reach 1000. The payment of pensions
for this year was begun in February and
the full pension will be payed until the
lat of August, when small balance will
be left, which will be divided among the
pensioners pro rata for their September
allowance. AS soon as the money is ex.
hausted payment will be stopped until
another appropriation is made.
It must be remembered that the ex-
penses OF this year have been necessarily
heavy because the Act establishing these
pensions for this year authorized the
payment of So per day to each of the
three members of the county boards, their
services not being paid for more than
eight days. The pay of these commits.
sioners amounted to $2,450, which was
paid from the $4,000 appropriated.
Next year this expense will not be neeas-
sary, as the work of ths commission has
been done. The probabilities are that
the pension roll will number 1000 next
year, and this number will require an ap.
preparation of $4,000 to pay each of
them $S per month as is intended.
1t may be stated that these applicants
have all gone through the most rigid ex.
animation, and none but the most desery-
ing are on the roll. Many applications
have been refused so as to give place to
these ones which were adopted. The
laws regulating pensions have been close
ly observed by the board in granting the
pensions. So it can be seen that hereaf.
ter, if the pensions are to be kept running
for the entire year, at least $4,000 will
be needed.
From the pension rolls the Neaos and
Courier representative has made sum:
mary by counties. Spartanburg heads
the loll with 1913 pensioners. Greenville
follows with l26, and Anderson comes in
for good third with 1913. York, Lau.
rena, Edgefeld and Oconee come,next in
the order named. The counties with the
smallest numbers of pensioners are Beau.

phia is equalled in point anywhere on the
continent. The run, which covers dis
tance of ninety miles, is made in two
hours, this including the ferry across the
Hudson, which usually consumes about
ten minuIe,. In period covering 130
days the fast express on the Jersey Cen
tral was 'ats in arriving at Bound Brook
only nine times. It was exactly on time
sixteen times and was from one to four
minutes ahead of time los times. On one

was made in ten and a half minutes, or

The Stock and Fruit Show at Pendleton.
At q meeting held in the Farmers Hall
here on the 11th, reports from the differ
yent committee-m from their respective
departments showed that everything is
now waking up and working finely in the
way of making preparations for the big
week here 9th to 9th inclusiye) in Au-
gust. Capt. j. J. sitton, our efficient
town Intendant, is now at work overhaul

BILE.
The most interesting feature of the
meeting. was the addresses Of Mr., Howell,
the Editor of the Cotton Plant OF Green
vile, and Mr.. G. Wanner, the enterpris-
ing and successful vineyardist and fruit
grower from WalhaIla. Mr.. Wanner is
the originator of the idea of holding an
exhibition of fruits and flowers at this
meeting, and it is safe to say that with
this plucky and energetic German at the
helm, the ultimate success of The fruit
show is q foregone conclusion, and we
will have the finest show of fruits yet seen
In this section, OF perhaps in the State,
The fruit show will be held in the Far
mers' Hall, well-lighted and suitable
hall for the exhibition, and Committee
of six Of Pendleton's young ladies was
chosen to get up the flower exhibit and
festoon. the Hall. This flower exhibition
IS 3 very appropriate and important adj
siunct to the fruit show, for what would
fruit show be without flowers, or man be
without his mate and fairer sex. 1t was
ever thus since the little episode in the
garden Of. Eden that man has been
tempted BY the fairer seq, fruits and
flowers. Whoever is it that is not
tempted by such charms, it is he only
who has less Of the Adam and more OF the
animal than the majority of the men of to
day.
The fruit Show will be open for exhibi-
