Sometime after the village electio n
at Sears parties informed County
Clerk Kohler that the three gentle
men on the bond OF Magistrate Hill
X. Cox did not represent property to
the extent of the legal requirements.
They made ailidavits in support OF
their allegations. So the newly
elected police magistrate was ac-
cordingly apprised OF the matter.
Mr.. Cox made sure that there
would be no room for further doubt
concerning his bond. and the other
day forwarded the document to the
county clerks Office with the names
OF a dozen of Sears best reside ats at
tached to it. But two names are re-
quired. but Mr.. Cox wanted to make

THE TRUE STUMBLING BLOCK.

Terminal Company Seeks to Stand in the
Way Of the Improvements.
One development at last nights
council meeting was the fact that the
Davenport and Rock Island Bridge
and Terminal company is at least
one potent agency which is seeking
to stand in the way OF the proposed
improvement. 1t has been self evil
dent for some time that from some
source an attempt was being made
to delay this much desired pro-
lect, and while the Terminal com PAW
may not yet be alone in this THE
ARGUS is not di,p IS ID to attribute
to the other corporations interested
the extreme breach of faith that op.
position would involve. The Ter
minal company while feigning to be
in sympathy with the undertaking
even to the point of pretending to
have some resentment that it should
not have been permitted to share in
the expense Of the Improvement
is nevertheless quietly doing what i,
can to work the greatest disaster to
the enterprise-endeavoring to delay.
This terminal company, let it be
said, has been received with every
possible consideration of liberality
and public spirit in Rock Island. 1t
received its ordinances with little
effort on its part, and has been given
every encouragement in the carry.
ing out of its project. The Terminal
company should be encouraged, but
it must not attempt any undetermined
methods of throttling public improve
ments. In a word all appreciate the
Terminal company and desire to see
it succeed, but it must act square.

Augustus Thomas, at the Lotos Club
dinner given in New York city recently
for Chauncey NJ. Depew, told a story
about the neat manner in which a guest
who was invited to speak at a dinner,
without notice. evaded the issue. The
dinner WAS one at which Mr.. Depew and
General Horace Porter bad each made an
address,. When the speaker was called
upon, he said: II wantto tell you story.
There once lived in the West q parson.
He had a large parish; in fact, was the
regular circuit rider of the district. He
was away from home when twins were
born to him. When he got back the at
tending physician tip-toed into the room,
and turning down the coverlet, showed
him the rosy, sleeping babies. The
preacher looked at them long aud ear
nestly, and then he turned to the doctor
and said %feelingly: Doctor, they are
both fine boys. I wouldn't take 81, 900
apiece for them now-and I wouldn't
give blamed cent for another one.' That
is my feeling and yours. You don't want
another one after what has gone BEFORE"
Mrs. Jennie Haskell Rose says in
the New York Mercury: Recently,
within an erea of twenty-five miles. In
the very sparsely settled rice plantation
region of South Carolina there have been
no less than five golden weddings cele.
brated in the space of one winter, and one
of these aged husbands has lived for fifty
years with his third wife. What other
part of the country can furnish a record
like that 2n

A few months ago the scheme was
started to get up 8 grand fraternal and
national celebration of the next Fourth
of July in New York City, one of the
features of which should be a parade of
veterans of the civil war, both of the Blue
and the Gray. The idea seemingly took
well, both in the North and South, and
many of the Confederate Camps began
preparation for the event. The project
has been spoiled by the narrow-minded-
ness and petty prejudice of the Command
er ofthe Grand Army of the Republic
Gen. Walker. He objects to the joint pa
rade, and thinks it would be an insult to
the North and a surrender Of principles
TO allow the Confederate camps to partic-
ipate in such q march alongside of the
Grand Army ofthe Republic on Northern
soil! The fear of the old Confederate
soldier and the terror of his yell appearto
have left a lasting impression on Walker.
Orhe may be laying himself out for an
this fall in a district where the
"soldier vote" is unusually strong. Ger
tainly the impulses of a brave soldier
who had fought well and won a victory
would not dictate such pusillanimous
prejudice thirty years after the war.

Attention, Sons of Confederate Veterans.

Some months ago we united, with
others, in a call to the young men of this
county to meet and effect the ~organiza-
ton of a G., p OF Sons of Confederate
Veterans. In pursuance of his call sew
eral meetings were held, and the pro-
ceedings for organization progressed to
the point of adopting; a Constitution and
Bylaws. The busy season then zones
on and all further efforts were suspended.
Now, however, 1t is very important that
the whole plan be completed. Memorial
day is approaching upon which occasion
we expect to participate in some very en-
ioyable ceremonies. In addition, we
hope to join the veterans in this State in
Charleston in April. And above ali we
hope to attend the grand reunion Of Con-
federate veterans in Richmond in June.
In order that we may do this very
economically we must go as an organized
Camp. For these reasons we hereby call
q meeting at the Court House at 5 o'clock
Thursday afternoon, 18th inst, of those
who have joined CIR wish to join our
Camp. Every son ora Confederate vet
eran is requested to be present.

The following circular will be of inter-
est to the veterans of the State:
South Carolina Div, U. c.. ",
Charleston, S, c., Feb. Il, '9G.
General Orders, No IS.
1. Th, annual convention of tho South
Carolina Division, U. G. ", will be held
in Charleston, commencing April 22d,
1896. All camps are requested to send
full delegations, as lie meeting promises
to be one of unusual interest. We meet
in Charleston at the invitation Of its peo-
pie and their whole-souled welcome and
hearty hospitality are so marked that our
comrades may feel sure that everything
will be done for their pleasure and to
add to interest Of this reaSsemb bly, of those
who, in 1861, rushed to CharIestOn's de-
tense. The people of Charleston are
anxious to show, in some slight degree,
their high appreciation and acknowledge
their obligations to the SONS of South
Carolina and of the Confederacy, who so
gallantly defended the city from 1861 to
1866.
ALI comrades, whether appointed dele
gates or not, are entitled to participate in
the meeting of the convention and share
its privileges.
II. That this division may have its full
vote at general meetings. OF tue W. y. w.,
it is necessary that all dues of its various
camps be paid. The location of the Bat
tie Abbey of the South and other impor-
TAM matters will likely come up at the
next general meeting at Richmond, so it
will be very desirable that South Carolina
shall then ave the Influence her strength
gives her. All her cam ps are in good
standing. The fiscal year Of the U. c. w.,
(this does not refer to dues to this divi-
sior) commences April l. The per
capita tax of 10 cents per member, for the
year ending April l, 1896, and for any
previous years not paid, must be paid
before April l, '96, to entitle a camp to
vote at the Richmond meeting.
Special attention Is called to this and
all camps are urged to pay these dues in
time.
III. 1t is with regret that the announce
ment is made that Major Theodore G.
Barker, who was elected brigadier general
of The first brigade at the November con-
vention, declined the position, which he
would have so worthily filled. Owing
to the nearpess of our next meeting the
election for this officer has been postponed
10 that meeting.
