opposed to the general pension
policy Of the Republican party, as
all Southern Democrats are, but has
always vo ted for melitorious cases,
and consequently has had more con-
silcratiol at the hauds Of the Pen
sion Department than he otherwise
would. He has been so fortunate as
to secure number of Civil War
pensions in meritorious cases also.
The law allowed this, and Congress-
man Stokes very properly thought
the money should come down here,
as much of it as possible. He has
been able to secure as much as 81 900,
all told, on this account, which
should be placed on the credit side
of bis account as a representative Ct
the people of this Congressional Dis
trict. A pension is just as accept
able and as much needed down in
this part of world as anywhere else
in the United States. Perhaps
little more so. The scarcity of such
favors from the general government
makes them all the more appreciated.

Appeals From This Country.

Freed From Prison In Response TIC
Appeals From This Country.
Washington, August 26 The long
and persistent efforts Of the authori'
ties here in behalf of the Cabans ar
rested by the Cuban authorities dur
ing the Cuban struggle for iudepend.
ence have at last been rewarded
with success, word having been re-
ceived at the department from
United States Minister Storer at
Madrid that four Of these Cubans
were released from the Spanish penal
settlement at Burgos on the S.h in
slant. These prisoners were sent to
Cadiz, from which point they have
sailed for Cuba. Their names are
Rafael Joyor, Antonio Capablanca,
Julian Alvarez and Noberto ROTOR
Hernandez. These men were polit-
ical prisoners accused during the
regime of Gen. Weyler of disloyalty
to Spain and sentenced to penal
servitude for life or for long term
of years. About twenty other Gu
ban prisoners who have been at the
Island of Ceuta or at Burgos have
been released and are now at Gibral-
ter, without funds to get back to
their homes in Cuba.
The release of these men has been
the subject of much solicitude by
State Department officials, and both
Acting Secretary Adee and the
United States minister at Madrid
have continued to urge that the
prisoners be released at the earliest
possible time. The Cuban repre-
sentative here, Mr.. Q1esada, has also
been alert in behalf of these unfor-
tunates. Since friendly relations
have been restored with Spain the
Spanish authorities have shown a
disposition to accede to the wishes OF
the United States in this particular,
and the present action is looked upon
as an evidence of Spain's friendly
attitude.
Although the numbar released is
only small part Of the Cuban plis'
oners held under exile, yet the begin
ming thus made is regarded with
much satisfaction by Mr.. Qlesada
and his Cuban associates here, and
encourages them to believe that
similar action will be taken III the
case of all the Cubans held in cap
tivity at Ceuta and elsewhere.

The S-uth Carolina farmers are
getting profit and praise by their
sensible diversification Of crops.
The New Orleans Daily Slater says
of them that they are ''evidencing
the possession Of more good, hard
sense than those of some other
States we could name. They are
turning their backs upon cotton and
the crop of tobacco this year is esti-
mated at s2O,OOO,OOO, worth from
4 to 26 cents a pound. Moreover
the cultivation of the wheat has been
so successful that the acreage will
likely be doubled next year"

Andersoa's Crop Prospects.

We have interviewed number of
leading farmers from various sections
of the county, and nearly all Of them
say that there will not be more than
one half Of an average crop of cotton
made in Anderson county. Several
of them say that the farmers in this
section are in a better condition than
ever before to hold their cotton
awhile, and urged US to advise them
to do so. If the crop does not ex-
ceed 100000 bales, we believe tie
farmers can get 7 or S cents per
pound for it within sixty days

Common Honesty Needed.

An exchange says: "Talk about
your moral waves, but an epidemic OF
common honesty between man and
man is what the country most needs.
This way Of scowling like thunder

low man are disregarded is not even
philosophy There is not in all the
books more solid chunk Of wisdom
or decency than is contained in this
paragraph, and we hope every one of
the dead beats that we have had to
drop from time to time because they
would not pay US for the paper they

What Can Be Raised on a South
Carolina Farm.

What Can BE RalSed Oh Ooulu
Carolina Farm.
The recent meeting of the Georgia
State Agricultural Society at Quit
map, says the Columbus Erquirer
SUP, was the of unusual interest.
Among other doings the matter of
diversified farming was discussed.
Il order to show that the South, and
Georgia especially, is the best place
in the country for diversified farm
ing, the following list is printed
showing the products grown on a
single farm in one of the Georgia
counties: Hay, corn, hams, pige,
chickens, sea island cotton, casava
pepper, cushaws, peanuts, millet,
syrup, pears, sorgum, wheat, peas,
lard, rice, bacon, tu' keys, cattle,
geese, eggs, cotton, besgar weed,
collards, oats, pumpkins, sugar cane,
rye, potatoes, grapes, Johnson grass,
pea vines, watermelons, kaffir corn.
That is doing very we'll for Georgia.

A South Carolina farm would havt
a lded, however, blackberries, dew

cantaloupes, plums, maypops, doves,
sparrows, haws, crows, yams, tanvas
peaches, lettuce, poke salad, milk

a Deserved Pea:ion.

Mrs. Manning Brown, of this City,
Whose Husband Served in the
Mexican War. Received it-Wolk
of Rev. DR.. Clifton and Congress-
man Stokes in Her Behalf.
Sumter Herald.
About one year ago Rev. J. \
Clifton, D. D of this city began to
make Efforts to secure pension for
Mrs. Manning Brown, widow of the
late Rev. Manning Brown. The
claim for pension was based on the
services of Rev. Mr.. Brown, in tie
Mexican War, in which struggle he
fought gsllantly, rejecting credit
and honor upon himself and bis
State. When DR.. Clifton was young
in the Methodist ministry MIR. Brown
was his Presiding Elder, and he then
conceived love and admiration for
him which was enduring, and which
melted him to efforts on behalf Of his
widow and fatherless children.
DR.. Clifton got together all the
data with reference to Mr.. Browns
war record, and enlisted Congress-
man J. VIM. Stokes in the work, and
he pushed the claim before the Pen
sion Department in Washington. 1t
has required about year Of close
attention and many personal visits to
the Commissioner of Pensions on the
part of Congressman Stokes to finally
get the matter through. There is
such an enormous volume of these
claims, of one sort and another, that
unless any particular one is followed
up closely it lies over indefinitely
There were some troublesome points
peculiar to this particular case, how
ever. 1t had been turned down
several times before, and this record
was a stumbling g-block in the way Of
its favorable consideration. A good
many afidavits and good deal of
new evidence had to be secured to
offset these uupropitious circum-
stances. Everything in the Pension
Bureau moves in a certain groove,
and there is any quantity Of red tape
in it's administration. After several
efforts to get the afidavits and testi-
mony in the exact technical form
necessary had miscarried by reason
of some verbal inaccurracy. Con-
gresham Stokes finally drew up the
necessary forms to fit the require
ments of the office. These were duly
signed in proper form, and the pen
sion followed. Its payment involved
some eight hundred and odd dollars,
back pay, besides the regular month
ly stipend to Mrs. Brown during the
remainder of her life.
This happy result is most gratify-
ing to Mrs. Browns friends, and
their number includes every one
who knows her. The case is a most
worthy one, and great credit is due
DR.. Clifton and Congressman Stokes
for their unremittirg earnestness and
zeal in the accomplishment Of the
work.
This is the second largest'claim Of
the kind which Congressman Stokes
has prc cured for his constituency.
! One in Colleton county, which was
granted through his etforts, involved
over 81, 800 back pay. He has been

" ABSOLUTELY PURE

So NEAR AND YET so FAR.

One OF our young men whose love of
ladies' society is well known expert
enccd the suffering ofTantalas, few
days ago. A friend invited him to ac-
company him 10 a meeting in the coun-
try. Anticipating fine time. he was ND
with the sun and was at very early
hour on the East side of the mountain.
Nearing very pretty home, his friend
asked to be excused for moment while
he called at the house For an hour and
half he patiently waited for the return
of that friend, and when he did return,
he was accompanied by beautiful
young lady. With his usual pOliteness, he
offered his seatin the buggy to the lady
and she readily accepted and her escort
took the other seat, cody informing him
that he would come back after him. He
knew what that meant, and he at once
determined to show them that he had AS
much right as any one else to walk on
the public road He went to meeting,
but for the life OF him he could not tell
the text or the subject of the discourse.
The lady saw that he had his dinner
and took him home and gave him his
supper. After supper, his friend.request-
ed the pleasure OF short drive with the
young lady who hesitated and smile
so sweetly that he could not help assur-
ing her that it would be altogether
agreeable to him. They started and he
impatiently listened to the clock tolling
the hours, but the compile had not yet
returned. The gentleman of the house
entertained him until his usual hour
OF retiring and then the mother took him
In hand until tired nature could resist
no longer, and che invited him to rest
on the lounge. He slept well until he
was aroused by some one tickling his
chin with q straw, and opening his eyes,
he saw the same roguish smile that had
been haunting him all day, while his
friend with a triumphant grin Informed
him that it was time to go home. He
now declares that he will never go to
see another girl unless she can ride a
wheel or he has . buggy Of his own.
