NEW PENSION LAW.

The house has just passed to a third
reading, bill providing for important
amendments to the pension law. The
bill changes the method of awarding
pensions, and as it now stands, with
a very strong probability of becoming
a law without further change, its pro-
visions are:
The examining board of pensions for
each township shall be composed OF three
ex-Confederate soldiers or sailors, who
shall be non-applicants for pensions, II
available. otherwise to be composed OF
reputable citizens thereof, to be elected, {,
to which all applications for pensions shall
be made, whose duty it shall be to decide
to which class said applicant belongs.
The county examining board shall be
composed of four Confederate soldiers
or sailors, who shall be non-applicants
for pensions, to be elected, whose decision
shall be final. The several township
boards shall meet at such time and place
most convenient before the first Monday
i'm April, 1897, and on the third Mondays
of January of each succeeding year, for
the purpose of considering applications,
and within 10 days thereafter the county
examining board shall meet. Rules and
regulations are to be prescribed by the
secretary of state, the attorney general
and comptroller general on the stale
board of pensions. No pay is provided
for these boards.
Section 95l. That on some convenient
day prior to April, 1897, and prior to Au-
gust of each succeeding year, the surviv-
ing soldiers and sailors, who were in the
service of the Confederate states, or ofthis
state, in the late war between the states,
residing in the several townships of the
counties of this state, shall meet at such
place in their several townships as may
be most convenient, and, after organizing
and electing chairman and secretary,
shall elect by majority vote three Of their
members, who are not applicants for pen
siOns, to constitute and be known as the
township examining board. The chairman

spective county seats within ten days

TRUE THEN-TRUE NOW.

THE following statement from Mr.. w.
l. s. Wilkerson was published in the
ENQUIRER in March, 1891, relative to the
merits and value Of the GENUINE COR
BIN DISK HARROW. The statements
were correct then and are now:
HICKORY GROVE, March %, 1891.
Mr.. SAM M. GRIsT, Yorkville, 8. c.:
Dear Sir-I bought q No. Corbin Disk
Harrow from you In October, 1889. was
delighted with it the first time tried 1t.
now consider it an indispensable imp!e-
ment on the farm. No farmer who looks
after his own interest can afford to be
without it. To give an idea of its value at
this time, when every farmer is so far be-
hind with his work, will say that | can
take my Harrow, with one hand and four
mules, and put 800 or 400 pounds weight
on the Harrow, and break eight acres OF
cornstalk, cottonstalk or stubble land In
one day, and prepare 1t deeper and better
In every way than can be done with eight
mules and eight hands in the ordinary
way. II have weight box on my Har-
row. 1t is the length Of the beam, and Is
8 inches wide at the bottom, II at the top,
and about 10 inches deep. It is fastened
on to the beam with bolts.
Last spring plowed up my cotton
stalks and with the Disk Harrow and
two mules, cut the stalks and pulverized
my land to the depth Of five inches at the
same operation, and at the rate Of an acre
an hour.
Wheat and oats can be put in with 1t
much better than in the ordinary way.
One hand and two mules is all that is nec-
essary to put in to 10 acres day.
The best prepared land have ever had
was piece of weed stubble turned in the
fall and cut up with the Corbin Harrow in
the spring.
In conclusion, let me say that the Har-
row thoroughly breaks and pulyerizes the
land and leaves It in porous condition.
Land that has been pulverized with a
Corbin Harrow will not bake.
Respectfully, w. s. WILKERsoN.
Now, reader, do you know Mr.. Will
kerson? If You do, don't you know that
ne truthful and honest man and one
OF tne best, most practical and successful
farmers in York county? Don't YOU
know-aren't you absolutely certain-that

Ex Judge A. p. Aldrich died at his
home in Barnwell, last Saturday, aged
SO. Heart failure is given as the
cause of his death. Judge Aldrich
was first elected to the bench in 1865 ;
but held the position only short time
because he would not submit to the

authorities. He was reelected, by
reclamation in 1878, and served until
about eight years ago. Since thal
time he has been living at Barnwell.
