WASHINGTON, Juno S.-Senator Till
man has had hard fight all along tho
limo in his efforts to get an adjustment
Of the claims Of the State against tho
United States for money expended by
tho State during tho war Of 1912 and the
Florida war Of 1885, Strong opposition
was manifested in tho committee on ap-
propriations to tho amendment offorcd
by tho Senator to tho sundry civil bill,
but he finally succeeded in having tho
amendment reported by tho committee.
When the amendment was considered in
tho Senate it was tho subject of much
dobato, and rejected, but tho Senator
asked for reconsideration, and after
two hours of debate, tho amendment
was passed.. Tho House, however, ro-
fused to accept tho action of tho Senate
on this itom, and tho amendment was
defeated in conference. Senator Till
man, anticipating this action, had pro-
viously introduced bill in tho Senate
providing for settlement of these
claims against tho government. IIo

W. A. COURTENAY, IL. D.
A Prominent South Carolnan Made Doctor o
Laws by the University OF Nashville.

The University of Nashville, at its re
cent commencement, conferred tho hon
orary dcgrco Of Doctor of Laws upon
tho Hon. VIM. AShmcad Courtcnay, OF
South Carolina. The terms in whicl,
this distinction was announced by the
chancellor added to it's value. lie said
that tho institution honorcd itself in re-
cognizing tho long service Of Mr.. Courtc-
nay as "philanthropist, patriot and pa
tron Of letters"
The professor of the University who
communicates the action of tho board OF
trustees to Mr.. Courtcnay suggests the
unanimity and enthusiasm which at
tended and still attends the comforting of
this honor when he writes: "'rhc col
lego, individually and collectively, sends
greetings, along with wishes u,at many
years, Astounding in lifc's best prosperity,
shall be your porton.'
Capt. Courtcnay is to be congratulated
Oh his election among the "immortals.' y
Many who admire him have been in
straits whotllcr to call him "Captain' or
Mayor" in familiar Salutation. Now
their trouble will have an easy relief
They may greet him now rs Doctor
Courtcnay. News and Cou-
ricr, June II.
Doctor Courtcnay is called "Prcsidcnt'
throughout the Piedmont, for he is
widely known as the cntcrprising prcsi-
dent Of The Courtcnay Manufacturing
Company, of Ncwry, Oconcc county,
South Carolina, one of the most success
full cotton mills in the State. BY the
way, where is there anot hcrmill president
who is 4 ell. D.?' College presidents
frequently have such honorS to sit lightly
upon their shoulders because they move
in charmed circle, whore the bcStowal
proceeds upon the principle of "ticklc
me and | tickle you'-but mill prcsi-
dents never. Their thoughts necessarily
run so much upon figuring ont the differ
cntial in cotton quotations., that few there
arc who heed the gentle voices of the
muses., who foster Il high standard of
Htcral v excellence us we'll as OF finance
and statccraft. This is another evidence
of the many-Sidcd attainmcnts Of Oco-
ncc's pioneer mill president. "Captan'
on the tented field, "Mayor' of Carolina 5
metropolis, 'prcSidcnt' Of Il great manu-
featuring plant, and crowning all as

OUR SOLDIERS HOME.
The Suggestion Touches Responsive
Chord.

Editors CoUEIER: I SEQ in your last
issue proposition to build homo for
tho Confederate soldiers in Oconce
think this is tho most feasible and hui
manc plan that has yet boon put for
ward to aid our noble and we'll dcserv-
ing old soldiers in their last days. 1t
would bo far bcttcr than homo by tho
State, as it would enable tho soldiers of
among their relatives, friends and ac-
quaintanccs. 1t would be comfort to
an old soldicr, even in ono Of these
county homes to know that his last days
were being spent whore ho was born and
raised; among those whom ho holds
nearest and dearest. And in case Of a
contagious or malignant disease broak-
ing out in tho State it would be easier to
control.
This plan to take caro- Of thoso old
citizcn soldiers should mcot with tho ap-
proval Of all. 1t would cost no ono any
thing hardly, and at tho same timo it
would insure our deserving old soldiers
a homo of their own during their ro-
naming years.
Now, rs ono who had no hand in tho
war, which cost these old soldiers tho
best days of thcir lives, and in many
cases the loss of health and bodily
limbs, am constrained to say if wc
ever intend to do anything for thom, let
us do it while they live. So |, out of my
limited To- of this worlds goods, am
willing to yo five or ten dollars to as
sist in building home in Oconcc after
the plan outlined.
Now, to make all tho sacrifices and in
cur all the suffering incident to war rs
did the Confederate soldier ought to
give him place in the memory and atfcc-
tons of his countrymcn, so that in his last
days he would be provided with at least
a home and the common ncccssarics Of
life. But, alas for tho old soldier. Wo
care and want and SEQ his brow ovcr-
shadowcd with the silvcry froSts of many
winters, plodding his way wcarily along,
hoping that the llmc will come when
there will be something better in store
for him. SO, to tho people of Oconcc,
let us get together and do as has bccn
suggested: Buy good farm somewhere
in the county and dot it with comforta-
bic cottages and givo it to all tho old
soldiers and their widows, who have no
land, as a home free Of rent tho balance
Of their lives, and when the last one has
passed away let the property revert to
the donors or their hcirs BY this plan
no one will lose anything and those old
fellows who went through tho fiery Or
deal from 1861 to 1865 will have tho con-
soiHtion of knowing that their devotion
to country has been appreciated, and
that their hopes and expectations for
better things have not been in vain.
Again, you gentlemen who arc asking
the old soldiers to help elect you to
office, will you not help in carrying to
success this enterprise, so that history
may never record the sad and disgrace
full fact that OcOncc county let her sol
dicrs die in want or in the poor house.
May the soldiers name
Forever be 4 part of our country's fame,
And over his grave be planted
The evergreen and loving tree
OF sweet and cndcaring mcmorie.
