For his breakfast he may have stale

The hcartiest meal Of the day should
come between one and two, and may con-

THE COMING REUNION
Desired That All Old Confederate Flags
be Sent to Charleston.

The following has been issued from
the general headquarters Of the United
Confederate veterans;
New Orleans, March II, 1885.
To all Comrades:
l. 1t has been suggested to the gen
eral commanding, and he heartily en-.
dorses the request, that all department,
division, brigade and camp command
ers will take stersto collect as many Of
the old "oattle flags" and flags of the
Coufederacy, and banners and ensigns
Of every description, which waved over
the Confederate armies as possible, to
be displayed at the Charleston reunion.
There are great many no doubt
through the south in private hands, at
the headquarters of the different camps,
and at the State capi; ais, etc., and it
would be in keeping with the grandeur
Of the occasion, upon this visit Of the
old soldiers to the chief city CT the
great State which gave birth to the
Confederacy, and where the FIRST gun Of
the war was fred, to take with them
the histori; flag which waved over them
there at Forts Moultrie and Sumter, and
the other three, with all the other ban
ners and ensigns which foated over
them amidst the smoke and carnage Of
more than ?, 900 battleields before they
were furled forever at Appomatox.
The general commanding hopes that
an effort will be made, through publ
cation in the papers and otherwise, so
as to secure the largest number posi-
BILE for this purpose.
Doubtless many flags will be taken
care of by the delegates and others to
whom they are entrusted, but where it
is necessary that they should be sentby
express they can be sent to the special
care Of Mai. Gen. G. Irvine Walker
commanding the South Carolina divis-
ion U. G. VS., Charleston, S. g., who
will arrange safe depository for them
while there.
2. Col. Robt. P. Evans, chairman
committee on information, Charleston,
S. c., states that on and after the 10Th
his committee will be in a position to
give information as to housing, quar-
ters, rates Of board, etc., to delegates
desiring to attend the reunion. He
states that his committee will under
take to engage quarters for and locate
any Of the Veterans in advance Of their
coming, but must have positive guar
antee Of their coming by April the
18th.

GOOD ROADS WANTED.
The State Convicts Should be Employ
ea to Build Them,

The cordition of the public roads in
the Piedmont after rainy winter has
been an object lesson not without ef'
feet. We take it that these express
sious BY the And rson Peoples AdVo-
cate will be very generally endorsed
We have heard several old men say
recently that the roads Of the county
after all our exp nditure of labor and
money on them are not as good as they
we're 10 or 50 years ago. And We are
inclined to believe it, but 1t does not
prove that the system of working the
roads that prevailed then was superior
to the present plan by any means.
There were not one-fourth as many peo-
pie then and not one-tenth as many
vehicles and not one-twentieth as much
travelling then as now. and then the
roads were newer and the clay had not
been disturbed. Neither does ii prove
that either plan is the proper plan to
meet the conditions Of the present day.
Any kind Of dirt will make a good road
in the summer when the farmers do not
need roads much, but during the fall
and winter when the farmers are haul
ing their crops to market and hauling
their fertilizers back to the farm, they
are practically without roads, as seen
this winter. 1t is basic proposition
that we cannot make good roads, per-
manent roadways, out OF dirt. That
has been shown to a demonstration this
winters. We must have something
better. It has come to be an absolute
necessity.
The blame does not rest with the Of
6cers, but with the law. We have be-
fore referred to the policy Of the State
with regard to the conyicts, and we re-
peat it; we want to see a charge IN 1t.
There are six convict farms in Anderson
county, on which there are nearly 100
convicts employed. What are they
worth TO the public? Nothing. But Ii
Supervisor Snelgrove had those 100 con.
victS and rock crusher he could build
Is miles Of macadamized roadway IN a
year. aud ten years Of such work would
give us $50 miles OF permanentr roadway.
We would then have macadamlzed roads
branching outin every direction from
the court house toward the county line.
This would be of inestimable advantage
to the whole country and loads could be
hauled to and fro regardless ofweather.
We want to see this agitation kept up
for good roads until something comes
Of il. We hope the people Will make
it an issue in the campaign next year
to abolish convict and State farms and
let the counties have them to build
roads With

COTTON EXPANsIONIsTs.
Every Cottontot in the State Should
Read This.

The Augusta Herald says "Old Jim
Crow Of Chawrosum, Ga, is phi
losopher in hi, way, and down there
under the shade Of the trees he has
been holding an Academy. He teaches
by sarcasm, but it's all the same if he
gets there, ana his latest contribution
to the common good is we'll calculated
to do that same. He is the enemy Ct
the overproduction Of cotton, and start
ed to organize a society to further his
ends. He has addressed a circular to
faithful, which reads as follows: Yes,
'whoop EN- up, and let it come. Haul
out the guano and buy all the mules
you possibly can. Get some merchant
to run you. Plant cotton all over
creation, between your watermelon
rows, in missing places IN the corn;
plant the garden just as soon as the
vegetables are off. Put it in tie fence
corners, and around wherever lou can
stick hill in your wife's flower gar
den. Yes, plant cotton world without
end Make it so low that a fellow
won't pick it if you give him what be
gathers, and furnish him free hash
while he picks. Go it boys, go 1t while
you're young, for when You get old
YOU can't raise it. But, one con>ola-
lation: when you can no longer jine the
boys in the job of keeping on first
class case of poverty debt, and bank
ruptcy for the country. you can put III
your contribution to the general ruin as
a first class calamity howler. Cut this
out and keep it for ready reference all
through the year. Don't so to bed to-
night without calling up all the chl.-
dren, with their mother and reading
this TO them. Then maybe, they will
dream of cotton and devise methods for
making more cotton even while they
sleep. And hear brother! don't fail to
take this to meeting next Sunday, and
60 soon, before the preacher gets there,
so you can call up the nabors and have
every fellow understand plans for the
current year. Then, if he don't go our
way and lands next December IN
plenty and peace, and can't 'jine the
band in the annual chorus Of hunger
rags and debt he'll be without excuse
and can lay the blame of his condition

.Jumped from a Bridge.

Miss Lucy FAM, twenty-year-old
daughter Of Joseph FAM, a wealthy
and retired business man Of Knoxville,
Tenu.. committed suicide Wednesday
afternoon. She jumped from the Ten
nessee river bridge Of the Atlanta,
Knoxville and Northern railroad, a dis
tance of 100 feet to the water below.
The body came up once and foated a
hundred yards, when it went down near
the east bank. The young lady had
been mentally afflicted for several
years, but has improved Of late. She
attempted self-destruction Tuesday
night by taking deadly drug, but her
father discovered the attempt before a
sufficient quantity had been taken.
Franz was walking with his daughter
over the bridge at the time. She ran
from him and sought her terrible death.
The body has not yet been recovered.

NO EXCEPTION FROM TAXES,
The Comptroller-General Rules That
Certain Property is Liable.

Comptroller General Derham has
brought 20 light question Of consider
able Importance &nd one which may en-
tail unexpected hardship upon some OF
the charitable institutions in Columbia
His attention WAS called to the fact
that some such institutions were not
paying taxes in conformance with the
constitution, among them the Y. NJ. G..
A., the Masonic temple organizations
the Ursuline convent aud the Presbyte-
rian College for Women. Wednesday
he communicated with Auditor ". II.
SQuier. telling him that this property
must be assessed for taxation for this
year and for heck taxes. He instruct
ed Auditor SqNier that when any
doubt exists as 70 the right Of anv as
sociation or society to exemption, un-
der this article and section, charge them
on the additional duplicate Of 1898,
with taxes 1898 and any years past due
and unpaid, Informing this Office, as
provided in acts Of 1898. page ,21.
The section of the constitution re-
ferrcd 10 p. oyiies that There STALL be
exempted from taxation ali county,
towusll: :p and municipal property, used
exclusively for public purposes and not
for revenue, and the property of all
schools. colleges and institutions Of
learning, all charitable institutions in
the nature Of aSyluns foF tie intrm,
deaf and dumb, blind, idiotic aud in
dieent persons. except where the profits
of such institutions are applied to pri-
vate uses; al public libraries, churches
parsonages and burying grounds, but
! property Of associations and societies;
althoug connected with hcneTolent cb-
iects. shall not be exempt from State,
county or municipal taxation: Provl-
ded. That as to real estate this exemp-
ton she'll rot extend beyond the build
ings and premises ACTUALLY occu2ied BY
such schools, colleges, institutions OF
learning, asylums, libraries, churches,
parsonagcs and burial grounds, although
connected with charitable objects.
Such cage as this came UP once be-
fore. when the city vas in litigation
over the payment Oft taxes on the city
! hall property. The State supreme
court decided that the city should be
assessed full value on al property on
which it obtained revenue: and, III &C
cordance, it is today assessed $1,000
on al the store rooms in tic city hail
which arc rented out From ell ap-
pearances the comptroller general Is
right in his Interpretation of the con-
stitution, and some Of these institutions
will be assessed for preceding years as
we'll as this year. When asked how
far back the back taxes should De lev
led, l!r. perham said for no longer a
time t:lan conld be avqi1cd: possibly
no further back than the adoption oi
the constitution Of 1895. These may
not be the cniy institutions which vii!
fall under the ban, and It may be founo
that other such property has hitherto
escaped taxation.-State.
