United States Pensioners.

No pcnsioncr in the Revolutionary
war survives. The last one died in
1869, at the age of 100, but last year
there were, and doubtless still are,
four Revolutionary widows on the
pension rolls, none of them older
than SO. Pensioners widows make
little of the lapse of centuries. Judg-
ing by precedent it is not improbable
that $50 years from now there will
still be widows drawing pensions on
account of the service of their hus.
bands in our late war with Spain.
Only one pensioncr who served in
the war of 1912 is left. His name is
Hiram Cronk.. He is 100 years old
and lives in Oneida county, New
York. About 1000 widows of 1912
are left one the rolls. The pension.
ers of the civil war hold out very
well indeed. Every year on June
30 they are counted. In June, 1893,
the number on the lists were 903, IA.
Last year there were about 1000
less, and this year also there are
fewer than in 1893, but the commits
sioncr says that in 1901 the list will
beat the record, because an Act of
Congress, passed last May, has ex-
tended the provisions of the law of
1870, so as to let in many thousands
of new claimants. About onc-ouar-
ter of all the pensions go to widows.

Farming That Pays.

Wheat, $3.50 oats, &125 straw,
Sl25 hay, $3.50 I; sorghum, &140 !;
cane seed, $75 total, 81, ,165.
That is the value of the side crops
raised by Mr.. w. S. Wilkerson, of
Hickory Grove, this year, with three
plows. Mr.. Wilkerson is one of the
largest land owners in Western York
and has number of renters. Ho
runs only three plows himself, how
ever, and the figures quoted represent
what he has realized without count
ing his cotton or corn.
Mr.. Wilkerson plants both cotton
and corn, Of course. With the same
three plows he cultivated about 25
acres of each, and the prospects are
rs good as are those of any of his
neighbors. But everybody raises
cotton and corn, and it is the show
ing of these side crops that is espe-
cially interesting.
In a talk with the reporter, We'd
ncsday, Mr. Wilkcrson gave the
figures as estimates only. The csti-
mates may be taken as very nearly
correct. They are rather under than
over; but, if there is any dispute
Mr.. Wilkcrson has the exact figures
at home by which the matter may be
settled definitely.
In the opinion of Mr.. Wilkcrson
$3.50 will cover the entire expense of
making the crops mentioned, and he
thinks he can fairly say that they
represent a clear profit of nearly
$1,000. While he was talking he
told of a croppcr who cut $3.50
worth of crab grass hay-sold the
hay at that-off stubble field. The
wheat had been fertilzcd literally,
and it was the fertilizer that caused
the grass to grow so lnxuriantly.
The grass sold for enough to pay for
the fertilizer that had been used on
the wheat. That portion of the
wheat field that had not been fcrti-
lizcd yielded no crab grass that was
worth cutting.
Speaking of hay, though" said
Mr.. Wilkerson, 81 can give you an
experience that ought to be inter
luli wi w i nOtIl-
son and myself went shares on some
wheat and oats, on means grass land.
We sowcd 20 acrcs-10 acres in
wheat in November and 10 acres in
oats in February. The means grass
grew up with the wheat and oats and
when the grain reached the milk
stage We cut the grain, grass and all
for hay. At the first cutting we got
three c-fourths of ton to the
acre, worth SIG a ton, aud
at the second cutting of grass
alone we got half ton to the acre,
worth Sl2 a ton. From the two cut
tings we got hay to the value Of s1S
per acre, and there is still another
cutting, though, of course, it will not
be of as good quality as either OF
the first two."-Y orkville Enquirer.

Senator McLaurin on Bryan.

WAsuNGToN, d. c., October TO-
Senator John l.. McIaurin, Of South
Carolina, was among the distinguish
ed Southern people in Washington
this week. He came to Washington
for the purpose of looking after some
matters of Importance to his constit-
ucnts pending before the Executive
Department.
The Senator is pleased with the
political outlook, and although he
did not go into any extended discus
sion on political topics while in the
city, he expressed his belief that Col.
Bryan would be elected President.
The South, he says, of course, will
be practically solid for the Demo
cratic ticket, and he believes that the
Democratic gains in the Congress
sional elections will be sufficient to
give the Democratic party good
working majority in the coming Con
gress.
Senator McLaurin says that but
little political discussion is heard in
South Carolina since the close of the
Democratic primaries. The State
being sure for Bryan and Stevenson
by very large majority he says the
people OF the State are turning their
attention to business. The State, he
says, is in a very prosperous condi-
tion and the outlook for the cotton
crop is very good.
AS is well known, the South Caro-
lima Senator is not in complete har-
mony with the Philippine plank Of
the Democratic platform, being an
advocate i'll the Senate of The for
cign policy of the present admins
tration. Nevertheless the Senator
is firm believer in Bryan and is
earnestly working for the latter's
election to the Presidency.
The Senator, it is understood, will
return to South Carolina from Wash
ington.

A Grucsome Prophecy.

The most famous Of newspaper
correspondents, Henri de Blowitz,
takes very gloomy view of the
future.
Dc H'owit1 is generally considered
the best informed man on politics in
Europe, and his views usually carry
great weight. For thirty years he
has been the Paris correspondent Of
the London Times and has fire.
qucnty known more State secrets
than any statesman in Europe. This
wise correspondent is usually very
calm and conservative, but of late he
seems to have taken the role of an
alarmist. He predicts that in the
near future there will be war be-
tween all the civilized nations, a
war which in the magnitude of its
proportions and its results will sur
pass all OF the great conflicts of the
past. The nations, as viewed by dc
Blowitz, arc full Of fight. They have
ambitions and schemes which are so
conflicting that clash between them
very soon is inevitable and when the
trouble starts it will almost GER
talnly involve all the powers.
When the Gar called the great
Peace Conference de Blowi,Z pre-.
dlcted that it would accomplish
nothing. lie now sees more signs of
war than have been visible for a
long time and his high character as
an observer has caused his prediction
to receive very general attention.

Our Great Postoffice.

One of the most striking evidences
of the rapid growth of the country
ls TO be found in the annual report
of the Postmaster General.
1t shows that the receipts of the
department for the fiscal year ended
June 80 last, were nearly s1O2, ,5OO,-
600. For the preceding fiscal year
the receipts were $95,O0O,O00 in
round numbers. The fiscal year
ended June 30, 1900, was the first
one in which our postal receipts
passed the $100,000,O6 mark. The
revenue Of the department. has prac-
tlcally doubled i'll II years. The
postal receipts of no other nation
have increased anything like SO fast
ana a., no other nation makes anything
like so large a use of the mails as do
we. The increased efficiency of the
postal service is one of the reasons
tor the great growth of it's receipts.
The people rely more and more upon
the mails for business and social
uses.
Although vastly moro money is
expended on the postal service the
excess of expenditures over receipts
IS less now than it was ten years ago.
Receipts would exceed expenses
very largely were it not for the great
loss cntailcd by handling at second
class rates an immense amount of
matter which should not be so classi-
fed.
Several attempts have been made
TO exclude this sort of stuff from
second class rating and it is hoped
that something like the Loud bill
will be passed by the next Congress.

Yes, August Flower still has the larg-

world. Your mothers and grandmothers
never thought of using anything else for
indigestion and biliousncss. Doctors
were scarce, and they seldom heard of
appendicitis, nervous prostration or
heart failure, etc. They used August
Flower to clean out the system and stop
fermentation of undigostcd food, rcgu-
late the action of the liver, stimulate
the nervous and organic action of the
system, and that is all they took when
feeling dull and bad with headaches and
other aches. You only need few doses

nothing serious the matter with you.
