has been said," he said. "We have at
tempted nothing along radical lines.
In proof of this, the speaker said he
and the Rev. Mr.. Bigger had called
upon an honest saloon-keeper in the
Eighth ward, and asked him to join
the committee of one hundred. Il
think that shows the conservative at
titude of the preachers. 1t is not a
prohibition movement. We hope it
never will be, at least until the
Millennium Gets Here.
Mr.. J. C.. Mckinley inquired what
protection the liquor dealer who closed
his saloon on Sunday would have
against the druggist who kept open
all day. Mr. Parker wanted to know
if the resolutions would commit the
organization against advocating any
changes in the ordinances.
Mr.. Morris Horkheimer sent to the
secretary's desk and had read type
written statement. He argued tina.
by the committee if right thinking
members of the political parties would
do their duty. He laid great stress
upon persuasion, which he regarded
as more powerful than attempted force.
He did not favor an independent move
ment, but thought the object of the

proper men were selected as candidates
by both parties. He thought the reso-
buttons which were offered sounded
rather demogogic. He failed to see
the necessity of bidding for the sup
port of any element.
This brought Gen. Caldwell to his
feet with an argument that Col. Hori-
heimer's remarks were not pertinent
to the matter under consideration.
Rev. J. H. Littell, pastor of the Unit
ed Presbyterian Church, said the reso-
lutions were in line with the spirit of
the work undertaken by the Fedora
ton Of Churches. He wanted to be IN
derstood, however, as opposed to the
liquor traffic, for reasons which he
deemed it unnecessary to dwell upon.
He was prohibitionist and voted that
way. He realized that the ministers
must look at the matter from a COM
mon sense standpoint. Had l the
power" he vehemently declared Il
would place a sweeping hand across
the liquor traffic and
Wipe 1t Out
from among men," He realized that
he could not do it, and the next best
thing was presented in the resolutions
under consideration.
Gen. Caldwelrs resolutions were
adopted.
Capt. Rawling offered a resolution
requiring all members of the commit
tee to attend suggestion meetings, and
present resolutions pledging each can
didate to do all in his power to secure
the enforcement of the laws. This was
adopted.
A committee of eight was appointed
to select permanent officers, consisting
of Gen. Alfred Caldwell, DR.. C. A. Win

THE PENSIONERS.
The Amount to be Received by tire
Different Classes.

| Twelve dollars and thirty cents is tae

one pensioners of the State OF South

1t is what the State allows its pen
sioners, soldiers of the Lost Cause. Who
are more than 60 years OF age ard who
have not more than 800 gear ir.-

to get Sl6.40 for the year. Glass y,
waich is made up Of those totally help
less, receive SI2 a year and il numbers
| forty-eight.
This is how the 100000 appropriat
ed by the State of South Carolina for
its INDECENT Confederate pensioners is
distributed. 1t is a great deal for the
State to do for its soldiers. according
to the views CT he cConomiC members Of

little there is in the pensions for each
of the poor soldiers and widows who
feel constrained to apply to the State
| for which they fought. 1t is d charity
which is not asked Tor by Nall who de-
serve it. For many years the old SOL
diers felt delicacy about asking for
the pension the State offered. Now that
| delicacy is passing away TO certain
extent and the pension lists this year
are six hundred larger than they were
last year. TtS increases and the
strength Of the lists are largely notice
able in the border counties on tE"
North Carolina line.

The checks for the pension money
were made out Friday. The rolls for
Chesterfield and Florence Coonty are
net exactly Strengthened out and in
formation has been solicited on them;
and no roll or return has even yet been
received from Charleston. The State
board estimated the Charleston list to
be about the same as it was last year,
but, of course, can send no money to
the pensioners in Charleston until the
approyaed list is received here and
checked up. The cause OF the delay in
Charleston is not explained.
