There is a feeling that since hitching
posts are provided for horses some sort
OF arrangement should be provided for
the safe-keeping of wheels while their
owners are in stores temporarily or ell
gagged in business. This want of some
means for securing cycles is felt in every
.ity OF the country, and doubtless in time
it will be Systematically provided for.

test at Catford track between picked

ties to the match consisted of nine quads,
two trips and a quint.t Their opponents
had the assistance of four quads and six

AStO Pensions

COLUMBIA, April 30.-As has already
been stated the increase of the amount
appropriated for pensions from $50, 900
to 100000 has caused many thousands
of people to make applications and
hundreds of them are bound to be dis
appointed. There are hardly enough
application blanks to supply the de-
mand. The Comptroller General esti-
mates that there will be at least 1000
applications, whereas, under the old
law, there were only about 1000 who
received pensions. Instead of being
increased, there is every probability
that the number of pensioners will be
decreased. While the law doubled the
appropriation, it divided pensioners
and amounts they were to receive in
certain classes which, if paid, would
soon dispose OF the appropriation en-
tirely even in one class. The law, also,
provides that where man has net
income of S100 yearly from any source
he shall not have a pension, but there
are a great many who have that in
come of $500 yearly who are making
applications. None such will receive
pensions, but there seems to be gen.
eral idea that almost every Confeder-
ate soldier can come in, while as a
matter of fact the number OF pension
ers will be increased very little, if at
all. Ifitis increased certainly y pension
ers will not get what is provided for
in the Act, because the board is al
lowed toscale it down which will have
to be done if there is much of an in
crease in the numbers.-Register.

Another Advance Made.

The Keelev cure has been introduced
into the st. Agnes Hospital, Baltimore,
Nd. The good Sisters realize that in
the Kelley cure is found the only hope
for those addicted to the liquor and
morphine habits, and have made
contract with the Keely Institute OF
Maryland by which the Kelley treat.
ment snail be administered at their hos.
pital by regular physicians instructed
by DR.. Kelley. This is another argu-
ment proving that the Sisters of Char
ity occupy the front place in the care
of the diseased and in the service Of
suffering humanity The treatment
was adopted four years ago by the
United States government and is used
at the National home. Proving 50 ef-
ficacious the treatment is now given
at Fort Leavenworth Post, to the Off
GERS and enlisted men OF the regular
army. During the past two years the
States OF Maryland, Minnesota, Cello
rado, Louisiana, North Dakota, Wis
consin and others have by legislative
enactments provided that INDECENT
liquor and morphine habitues be given
the treatment.
The Kelley Institute of South Caro-
lima continues its good work at Co
lumbia, and any information desired
may be had by addressing that insti-
tute or drawer 81.

yothe Same Tree.

NASHVILLE, April 26.-At o'clock
this morning, Is masked men entered
the residence of the jailer at McMinn-
vile, Tenn, overpowered the jailer,
took his keys and entered the jail.
They were after William and Victor
Hills. who were awaiting trial charg-
ed with the murder of Carol Martin
in Vanburen county in August 1884.
When the mob entered the cell where
the Hills boys were confined, Victor
snatched up a bed slat and succeeded IN
knocking down two of the crowd be-
fore he was overpowered. William,
realizing that his doom was fixed, fell
into a swoon Without giving the
Hills boys time to don any clothing,
the m1sked mer then proceeded to
their horses. and mounting rode quick
ly and silently out of town to point
about FIVE miles southeast of here,
near Shellsford, where they hung the
two brothers to the same tree.
The crime for which the Hills boys
were lynched was committed in Van
Buren county in 1894. Carol Martin,
an aged citizen who lived with his
daughter in the mountains of Van
Buren, and who was supposed to have
81, 600 in his house, was attacked one
evening in August 1894, about twilight
by two men with their faces blackened.
The old man, who was 50 years of age,
was murdered and his daughter, who
struck one of the men on the arm with
an axe, was shot in the leg. The men
finally made off ithout their booty,
the money having been thrown into
the grass by Miss Martin The Hills
boys were arrested on strong circum-
stantial evidence. The case has beer
continued several times in the Warren
county court, to which change oi
venue took the case and. after convic

The Candidate and the Editor.

a candidate sent an editor note
informing him that he was in the race
for q certain Office and requested the
editor if he said anything about the
candidates candidacy to send him a
marked copy of the paper. This was
too much for the editor and he indig-
nantly published the following: I'VE
didn't do it. We ANT going to do
it. We amt saying a word. We
amt going to say a word unless the
cash is IN 81 light. And we can see smil-
ing of the Goddess of Liberty on one
side of the dollar of our dads, and
count the tail feathers in the Great
American eagle on the other. Ia
times past we have given away col
umns Of paper, and reams of paper,
and great gobs of ink in political
campaign And what did we get in
return2 Nothing but the privilege Of
wading in the mud behind the band
wagon, and spilling coal Gil on our
only coat and getting shot in the tie
with Roman candle. But times
have changed and our feelings have
changed. Everything have changed
except our pockets. There is no
change there. We amt no pack mule
to carry no candidate into Office and
get the cold shoulder. And perhaps
the cold mutton after the election.
Our enthusiasm is gone. 1t has leak
ed through the holes at our elbows.
Glory is a good thing but cold cash is
better. Campaign thunder will no
longer reverberate through these col
umns, except so much per thunder, in
cold cash. Our campaign rooster has
to be fed, and wherewith shall we feed
him without the cash. Hes lost his
tail feathers from the last campaign,
and needs some extract of gold or sill
YER right now. Our tow line is sag
ging in the middle, and u.raveled at
the ends. The candidate is Hut for the
office. We arr for cash. "

20 More DOdgius The LAW.

There was confusion in the old law
as to travelling out. door shows. The
law provided for a license fee of 5000;
but there was doubt as to whether this
meant for each exhibit or each county,
and also on account Of an error in cod
ifcatioa there was slight question as
to whether, the fee was really $500 or
only sl00. Again, the law specified
circus" This may be taken to mean
only shows in which there is ring,
and there was question as to wheth-
er it included menagerie exhibits and
acrobatic or other performance. At
the last session OF the general assembly,
however, the matter was great y SIM
plifed by the enactment of the follow
ing which was approved on March g.:
Section l. Be it enacted by the gen
eral assembly of the State Of South
Carolina, That section 1853 of the
general statutes, being section 1870 OF
the revised statutes Of 1898, be amend
ed so as to read as follows: Any cir
Gus or other such travelling show eX-
hibiting under canvass or outdoors
for gain shall, before exhibiting IN
any county in this State, obtain a Ii
cense to show from the clerk Of the
court of such county, and shall pay to
the said clerk for such license one hun
dred dollars for each and every day
said circus or other shows shall be ex
hibited: and said clerk shall forthwith
pay over to the county treasurer of
said county all the moneys by him re-
ceived on account Of said license, to
be applied to the use Of said county.
