Confederate Pensioners.

The Ppusioo Board for Sumter county met
Monday for the purpose of receiving appi.
cation for pensions from Ex-Confederate vet
Grams who are eligible to receive portion OF
the State appropriation. There were 10 the
neighborhood OF hundred applicants before
the board, but as the State Board had sent
an insufficient number OF bl~nks, all of them
could not file applications in accordance with
the form required by law Sixty eight "p'
plica,lons were filed, and the others who are
eligible will 6le their applications when An
additional supply of blanks have been re-
ceived.
Tue number OF pensioners will be consider.
ably larger under thu new pension law thSr
heretofore, and the increasing aye of the old
soldiers and their growing inirmities nso
have tendency TO swell the pension list, rs
many of them have been dependent for sup
port on their manual labor for years, and arc
not no. capable of earning sufficient for aus.
tenance. The State owes these old soldiers
much more than i, can ever give them, and il
is to he hoped that go long as they live the
State will contribute as literally ns possible
towards relieving their necessities.

The Dispensary in Russia.

A few day ago Mr. Moses Green received a
letter from brother at his old home 10 the
Russian Empire, in which it WAS stated that
tie public sale of all sorts Of liquor had been
prohibited and that new system had been
put into operation by the government All
liquor, be said, is bottled and is sold only 10
bottles, aud the sale of it by the drink. as
had been the custom from lime immemorial,
is prohibited. II would seem that Russia
has adopted the South Carolina dispensary
system, or the Gottenosry or Swedish sys
tenn, as it is known in Europe.

Indigestion is often taken for consump-
ton The word consumption means wasting
away, and dyspeptlcs of'en waste away as
badly as comsunpives.
TIE reason people waste away is because
either they don't get enough to eat, or they
don't digest what they do eat.
IF the latter is your trouble, take Shaker

digest your food and stop your loss of fish.

The State of South Carolina will be

no doubt. for every one realizes that the

almost unanimous opinion Of the peo

be given. Look at the matter as We
may We can arrive at bit single con-
clusion. The Fire Department is a
necessity to the city aud since it is now
better equipped aud far more efficient
than it has ever been in the history of
the city, it l. the duty Of the City
Cnuucil to provide for its maintenance,

That is true in greater or less degree
of every manufacturing industry and
the most favorable economic cowbioa-
ton possible is that Of the farm that
produces the raw material aud the fac
tory that converts it.
The South produces many kinds of
raw materials, and 10 large part ssnds
them elsewhere to be manufactured.
This is uuwise, for the South can
convert much Of It's raw material into
flushed products for less than the cost
of conversion elsewhere
The conditions that favor the growth
of misunderstanding ia the South are Of
extraordinary weight; aud it is ineviss-
BILE that the Southern States will become

Cheap motive power. coal and water

A plentiful supply of intelligent aud
