THE PENSION ROBBERY.

The United States is paying yearly
nearly one hundred and fifty millions
Of dollars in pensions to a horde OF
ex.Uniou soldiers, who were paid for
their services while acting as soldiers
-Toxarkana DEMOCRAT.
Well, brother Gardner, what are
YOU going to do about it? Cleveland
your president elect signed more pri-
yate pension bills, while he was pres
ident than any other president since
the war
You Democrats tried to do some
thing thirty years ago and failed
You sowed the wind and now are
rcaping the whirlwind. If you don't
want to help pay the pensions you
had hetter leave the u. S., for they
will be paid.
The government will honor the men
who saved it notwithstanding you
people who tried to tear it down don't
like it-Rogers New Union.
The above comment on little
squib from this paper, sounds like the
wild vaporings of a Kansas jay
hawker.
We condone nothing done by Dem
ocrats, in their demagogue panderng
to gratifying of pensions so rapidly
and Unfortunately Mr.. Cleveland
vetoed more pension bills than any
President we ever had Demagogues
il Congress oie responsible for the
excessive number OF pensioners on
the roll.
As to the reference to the war, etc. 4,
we have only to say, that is not an is
sue now. 1t is history that compara-
lively few pensions were ever given
the Revolutionary ex.soldiers, who
freed this country and established the
republic As for the socalled "sa-
vlors" of the late war, large number
of them were foreigners, (hirelings),
and yet many of them even are being
paid pensions. The South is not
ashamed Of the principles she fought
for.
We have no respe ct or patience
with pension law which pays ex.sol-
diers, who are in good circumstances,
or foreigners, or any many who was
not disabled while in ser
vice, Though opposed to
to the pension theory we think sol
diers disabled or permanently injured
while in service, should receive pen
sions.
1t has been proven that thousands
are fraudulently drawing pensions.
These and all foreigners should be
cut of at once by the incoming Dem
ocratic administration. This is made
necessary by the heavy drain of $3.50,
100000 per year for pensions. The
people demand justice and equity
and a lessenng Of the heavy tariff
tax

Birthday Party at Low Moor

most enjoyable occasion for the very little
folks at Low Moor, the afternoon of the 2lst,
was the birthday party of littlel Ruth Holmes
Cabell at her fathers, (Mr. E. NJ CabeiD, resi-
dence. Tt was her fourth birthday, and gather
ed there were all the little tots of her acquant
anceS of both sexes around Low Moor.
After number of games into which the guests
entered with glee and unalloyed happiness, re-
freshments were served, twelve gallant little
gentlemen escorting a like number of fair little
misses to the dining room, which was darkened
and beautifully decorated with ferns and flow
ers. A huge cake adorned the centre of the
table, around which were placed four wax can
dies, representing the number Of years the fair
young hostess had attained. She was the recip-
lent OF quite number of presents, among them
being twelve silver souvenir spoons, from as
many admirers; One being from her grand
mother; one from her great-grand mother and
one which had belonged to her great great
grandmother when little child. Miss Ruth
also wore a small gold pin which was worn
when qnite a little child by her great grand
mother, Mrs. III. L. Gallagher, comic necklace
which her grandmother, Mrs. Norris wore as a
child and carried a hand embroidered hand
kerchief, the work of her grand mother, Mrs.
Cabel The little folks enjoyed themselves
thoroughly, and doubtless in future years, will
recall this interesting episode of their young
lives

An exciting runaway accident occurred
Sunday afternoon " Ham, Capt. Har-
MANS driver started down Prospect
Walk from the Heights with his horse
and buggy The horse became frlght>
ened just after starting, and starting off
at run. threw Ham out. The loss Of
his driver did not check his speed, and
he came down the hill at rate which
would have done credit to locomotive.
When be reached Jefferson street he
crossed it and took the sidewalk until
he reached Pine street, when he again
cot out into 50 the middle of the road. y
Upon reaching Church street he again
got on the sidewalk, still bringing up
the buggy in pretty good shape. But
after passing H. 7. Parkers store the
buggy caught on to a couple OF locust
trees, which demolished two wheels, and
the animal went on without the re-
mainder.
Ham was only slightly hurt, and the
horse was not injured The buggy, how
ever. was pretty badly used up.

By the above name has the wooden

lions are being made to add new machin-
cry and for running the mill to its ut
most capacity in all of its departments,
from the securing room until the finish
ed cloth is reached. Mr.. E. K. Sergeant
left yesterday for the North to buy new
machinery and to purchase wool for
operating it. Nearly 100000 pounds of
wool will be brought to the mill in the
next thirty days." said Mr.. Sergeant,
before his departure.
AS has been published heretofore, the
mill up to this time has only been con-
verting the wool into yarn, which has
been shipped North and sold to manu-
facturers who turn it into blankets, sc.
It is the purpose now to buy what ma
chinery is necessary to put the looms at
work and convert the raw material in
to the finished product right at the
mills here. This is a contamination
much to be desired, because it will give
employment to a greater plumber OF
hands and enable the mills to reap not
only additional profits, but also save the
money now expended in the payment OF
freights in shipping the partially finish
ed article

LOW Moor Furnace.

It is stated that Capt. III. Merry, who
has SO long and ably filed the response
bic position of General Manager of Low
Moor furnace, will retire about the 1st
OF July, and will be succeeded by his son,
H. G. Merry. The remarkable success
which has attended this great industry
under Capt. Merry's administration is
the best monument to his fidelity and
capacity that could be erected. Quiet,
transformations. courteous and kindly,
his work has been performed without
friction and his plans carried out with>
out failure, while there is no similar en-
terprise in the country more thoroughly
equipped or that assures better results
to those interested. Having, however,
after wears of s!1illful labor and lntelll-
gent economy, accumulated compe-
tency, he proposes to take rest ana
enjoy the fruit of his industry while IN
the vigor of his manhood and compares
lively fair health and not to walt until
his constitution is broken and he com
PEELED to relinquish his position from
physical disability.
He can do SO with satisfaction to him>
self and justice to the Company, from
the fact that his son will succeed him,
who has been trained under his
eye and will carry out his plans
and maintain the policy, which
has worked SO successfully under
his own direction. Harry &. Merry will
be a worthy successor to his father and
will keep up the high reputation OF the
industry, which has been reached under
the senior Merry The Low Moor Com
panv was fortunate in securing the SER
vices of the elder Merry, and Will be
equally fortunate in having the place
vacated, occupied by one so competent
to fill it. III. g. Merry has been snperin-
tendent for years OF the mines, andhas had
all the advantages possible to acquire
knowledge for the General Management
by close association with his father and
enjoying hissfullest confidence.
With Mr.. Joe Shedding, at the furnaces
and Harry Merry in general charge OF
the splendid plant, Low Moor will con-
tinue to be one of the most successful
industries in the South.
