Il went to New York and got lob on the
New York Tribune, The first thing they
sent me to do was to report that speech of
wendell Phillips. I met a fellow from some
other paper on my way to the hall and we
stopped al lot of places Those were the
paImy days in New York, you understand.
Well, | told the other fellow who had the
same assignment, that there was no use in our
going to the old hall anyhow. because | had
the speech down fine and would write the
story in duplicate. We went to Chinese
restaurant, where l used to eat, and l wrote
two accounts of the meeting at the hall, with
Phillips speech in full.
When got down to the office the next day

hold conference with me. l wasn't pecu-
opened up, but had to face the music and

Frauds on the Pension Lists.

The pension department is in charge of
federal veteran who has the confidence
of both the great political parties. Even
the New York Tribune and the Mail and
Express commended his appointment.
Judge Lochren was a gallant soldier and
is al man above suspicion, which facts the
fore~oing papers and other republican
journals candidIy admit.
Anew days ago the pepsion department
uncarthed a stupendous fraud upon the
department, through the working of
which an attorney named Drewry had
GO. az least 1865 names of persons not en-
titled to pensions upon the pension books.
And in each case the foxy attorney had
claimed and secured back pensions! 1t is
estimated that his ill-gotten profits from
these transactions must have amounted
to 100000 It is believed that other
frauds quite as great, and some even
greater wiz be brought to light by the
present administration.
The discovery and exposure of such
frauds can have but one effect-to in
crease the growing sentiment all over the
country in favor of dropping from the
lists all unworthy pensioners. To have
such discoveries made by Judge Lochren,
whom the soldiers know to be prejudiced,
if 1t all, in their favor will disarm any
assertion that the reforms are asked by
the south because the south has no love
for the federal veteran. The south, as a
matter of fact, is quite willing that every
veteran who deserves a pension shall
have one. That, also, is Judge Lochrens
idea Of pension list, and it is his pur-
pose to restrict the list to the deserving
And in this he will have the hearty sup
port of the veterans themselves, now that
they have the evidence before them of
the frauds that have been perpetrated in
their name, and realize that it is in no
wise a part of democratic policy to abol-
ish the pension rolls

First Horse Races in America.

In these days of Kentucky derbys and
other events of the kind in which the
purses are small fortunes, and when men
make millions by horse racing and race
horse raising, tits perhaps well to recall the
fact that the horse race is distinctively a
southern institution. 1t is true that of
late years the north is the great racing
ground, but the best horses are southern
from Kentucky Kentucky horses have
not taken second place to California's
first.
The first race meet in this country was
held at the old York course, in what is
now Berkeley county, South Carolina
That was in 1875. The prizes were pieces
of silver plate, some of them worth as
much as $500 or $500. The jockeys were
blacks, and the racers never carried less
than ten stone. Ten years later gold
watches were added to the prizes at race
meetings In 1854 the first money prize
was offered in a horse race lat the course
in the border of Charestowne City
About that time the horses of Mr.. Daniel
Ravenel, of Rantowles, began to become
famous as racers. His principal brood
mare was Gray Pleasant, whose offspring
were the most famous race horses prior
to the revolutionary war. After the
revolution racing was revived in South
Carolina, and soon the interest in
fast horses extended itself to
Virginia then North Carolina took it up
| From these three states the racing fever
spread all over the country, and has
never cooled. As matter of fact, it is
more ardent to-day than it was along to-
ward the close of the last century, when
Col. William Washington's Ranger was
beaten by Mr.. Nash's Comet, Comet, by
the way, subsequently became the prop
erly Of the father of Wade Hampton.
The first horse race to excite unwonted
interest, according TO a writer in the New
York Mail and Express, was in South
Carolina ION Jan 81 1859, between
Mr.. William Henry Drayton's Adolphus,
South Carolina bred, and Mr Thomas
Nightingale's imported horse Shadow
Each carried 1876 pounds, and ran four
mile heats. Shadow won both heats
easily, the first in minutes and 20 seconds
and the second in S $50, after which d chal-
lege was issued to run the imported horse
against any native bred animal in the
country"
