A Cruel surprise.

The editor of the humorous liter atufe department looked up wearlly frOm his work as he heard a f0Otfan on his tbTesh0ld, and his gaze fell uD- on visitor who bore the unmlstak- able evidence of what the editor so greatly feared. For weeks tue editor had been plunged into sea Of jokes which he thought could not have been possible; yet they continued to flow in upon him, and he was slowly but surely realizing the horrors of war.
 Good morning, sir,N said the sol emn-faced visitor, in such profoundly sorrowful tones that the editor was sure of his man.
 " Morning" responded the editor
 The visitor coughed nervously, dragged small boy out Of the shadow behind him, shuffied a foot or two, hesitated moment, and spoke

To Prevent Pension Frauds.

A determined step has been taken
by the war department to prevent pen
sion frauds that might be perpetrated
as an outcome Of the war just closed,
and with this purpose in view Pension
Agent General St. Clair Mulholland,
of this city, has received advices from
Washington relative to regulations for
mastering out soldiers. In these ad-
vices, which emanate from the war
department, it is ordered that the
physical condition Of each soldier be
ascertained and noted before his dis
charge papers are issued. The pur-
pose Of this regulation, it was ex-
planned, is for the purpose Of pre-
venting false claims in the future.
Gen. Mulholland said the importance
of the precaution could not be too
highly estimated, as it would save the
Government vast amount OF lltlga-
tion, but he doubted whether the
authorities would be able to live up
to the regulation. He dwelt upon the
difficulties that would be encountered
in mastering out large forces Of men
in few days, and said it was likely
that many would endeavor to escape
the examination in their hurry to get
to their homes.
Speaking Of the judiciousness Of the
plan he cited case of soldier 8
widow claiming pension on the
ground that her husband had con-
tracted deafness while in the civil
war, whereas an investigation proved
that the deceased had been deaf for
many years prior to his enlistment.
1t is to prevent repetition of just
such cases as this, Gen. Mulholland
said, that the present plan has been
adopted. .-Philade7pnia Erening Tele-

Attention, Cotton Growers

ECoLUMBIA, S. c., Aug. 29.-Presi-
dent Wilborn has called a cotton
growers convention for the Goth Of
September. In his call he says: SIt
is requested that every county send
delegates. The county organization in
each county is requested to meet and
elect delegates. Where it is impracti-
cable to call mass meeting the county
presidents are requested to see to it
that delegation comes to the State
convention.
"Where there is no organization
those interested are most earnestly re-
quested to cooperate with the clerk Of
court Of said county, the clerks being
hereby requested to interest themselves
atleast to the extent that they will see
that their counties shall be represent
ed.
"This meeting will take steps that
will be of inestimable benefit to every
cotton grower in this State. AT a
conference in Memphis a committee
from each State was appointed to
negotiate for money whereby liens on
the present crop could be taken up and
the bulk of the crop Of this year held
off for ninety days and perhaps.longer
which it is hoped will force present
prices up.
"The big crop that is now growing
is liable to depress present prices.
The producer has the key to the situa-
tion if he can be induced to act as a
unite.
"Send delegation from every COM
munity and let them discuss plans in
county conventic n for this crop, also
for the next crop, and send county re-
concentrations to the State conven-
ton. Especial to Greenville Ne,os.
