The Second South Carolina boys this
morning made the biggest tlemonstra-
ton of any of the regiments which
have left Savannah for Cuba. The
boys seemed To have made preparations
for the grand march from the camp
through the streets down tn the Gordon
wharf. where they boarded the trans
port Ronmania. They carried trans
parencies and many were provided
with small United States flags with
which they Ornamented the barrels of
their rifles. Others carried the stars
and stripes in their hands which they
continuously kept waving ut the large
crowd which had turned out to see them
oft and to wish them ~ safe voyage. 1t
was $3.50 O'clock when the regiment
passed through Bull street ut route stcp

A Demagogue's Act.
w. a. n EAE,
Superintendent.

The unanimity with which Confele-
rate Veterans camps from New York
to Texas and from Oregon to FlOril,
have condemned and spit upon the
proposition of Marion Butler, who by a
strange dispensatiOn Of Providence is q
United States Senator from North Car
Olina. will refresh the fading faith Of
many in genuine manhood. Butler
pops up in the Senate and asks the
Federal government to pension Con-
federate Veterans.
Who commissioned Butler to speak
for Confederate Veterans, or to ask
anything in their name? He does not
belong to their glorious company, ard.
few of that company in North Carolina
would speak to Butler on the public
road. They regard him as IL renegade
from those principles which lie far
deeper than the issues raised by the
Civil war. They look upon him as an
enemy of decent, clean and capable
government.
Therefore, when he comes up with
the andacity of bribc for their favor
in the shape of his Confederate pension
bill, they all feel like kicking him.
Butler has mistaken the audience to
which he attempted to play.-A tiamta

PENSION POINTERS.
Inquiries Answered and Suggestions Made.

A. +. r., WdrdUer, Iddho.-If the evil
dence in your claim is complete, all Off
cial requirements being complied with, it is
strange that you have not heard from your
pension case since medical examination
in March, 1898. If your attorney seems
unable to secure any response to his in
quiries, you would better ask your member
Of Congress to call up the case for you.
Subscriber U0reHgO, O.-There is no
strong disposition in Congress to pension
by special act if the applicant is entitled to
and can secure pension without the inter
vention Of Congress, except in case of
prominent officers and their widows
j. W. W., Edgicport, O.-The law with
reference to the payment of the pensions
of insane invalid pensioners provides for the
payment of the pension TO the pensioner' s
guardian. if he has SUCH and if not, then
TO his wife or children dependent on him.
Desertfon of family could hardly be CON
strued in case of an insane person, be-
cause desertion contemplatcs a deliberate
act for which "a person of unsound mind
could not be held responsible.
l.. j. s., Maitland, UO.-Ordinarily,
an officer would not be regarded as entitled
in any event to pay as such beyond the date
of the uster-out of the organization of
which he was Il member. A resignation
rendered may have been accepted of record
but the formal notice thereof not sent, or if
sent, may have miScarried in the mail.
IL would be well to secure authoritative in
formation relative to tae final record of the

At s o'clock Washington expressed a
desire to get up. His clothes were put on
and he was led to chair by the fire. But
ne found no relief i'll that position, and at
10 O'Clock he lay down again.
Mrs. Washington had become much
alarmed, and before Dr. Craik arrived,
she desired Mr.. Lear TO send for Dr. Brown,
of Port Tobacco. whom Craik had recon-
mended TO be called If any alarming sick
ness should occur during his absence.
At about 9 O'Clock DIR. Craik arrived. He
at once took more blood from the General,
put a blister on his throat, prepared a
gargle Of vinegar and sage tea, and ordered
some vinegar and hot water for him TO in
hale the steam Of. The gargle almost
suffocated him. A little phlegm was
brought up with it. and he attempted to
cough, but was unable TO do so.
At II o'clock DIR. Craik requested DR.
Dick, with whom he often consulted, TO be
sent for, as DR.. Brown might not come in

no effect was produced by it. His ina bility
to swallow anything continued. At 3
