The Supreme Court Decides That
the Pension Appropriation is

Special to Grssnville News.
Columbia, May 1.-THE su-
preme court has issued an order
in the pension ease in which it il
decided that the amount to be dis
tributed 10 one hundred ths usand
instead Of one hundred and fifty
Thousand dollars. The opinion is
to bs filed later.
The chief justice and all the
justices signed the order which
shows that the opinion Of the
court is unanimous.
A petition was filed by Clerk of
Court Walker praying for a
msndamus to compel tho attorney
general to issue his wal rants on
the basis of $3.50, 900 to be paid
to the pensioners. He was repre-
sented by the attorney general.
The comptroller general, IN his
reply, held that only $1O0, 600
had bsen appropriated. He was
represented by Jno. p. Thomas,
Jr.
The legislature intended to ap-
propriats $3.50, 900, and although
an act was passed to that effect
yet it was neglected to bs put in
the regular appropriation act.
1t was stated at the comptroller
general. Office today that the
amount to be received by each
pensionsr would DO practically the
same as last ysar. 1t will take q
few days to get tho amounts for
the different classes in proper
form, but it 10 likely that pen
sionsrs will be able to get their
money next week.
The decision only rensws the
consideration of the frequent
laundering on the part of the
legislature in putting Of the most
important matters to the last
moment and then rushing the.
through.

Russia's Great Cotton Crop.

Washington, May 17.-It is
expected that Russia will soon be
able to supply her own needs in
cotton, according to report re-
ceived at the State department
from Deputy Consul General
Hanauer, at Frankfort, Germany.
She is one of the few countries
which leves tax on imported
cotton. A tax amounting to about
two-thirds of the value of the
staple is imposed. The impor-
tation of cotton diminished over
u, 900, 600 pounds in 1899, while
the production increased "a per
cent during the same year. Grain
fields in Russia are now planted
with cotton, for the cultivation of
he fibre is much more profitable
han that of wheat.

His children, grand children and

There were one hundred and

Memorial Day.
Address Delivered by Rev. II. w.
Bays, d. D., at Lancaster,
May IA, 1901.

Ihl hoSoOioeioD, Wo puoiiSh oSiOW
the excellent address of the Rev.
DR.. Bays at this place on last
Tuesday, the day observed as,
memorial day. The speaker was
appropriately introduced by R.
E. Wylie, Esq. MIR. Wylie said:
We have met, my friends, as is
our yearly custom, to pay tribute
to the memory of the Confederate
soldiers of this county who have
passed over the river of death and
are now tenting "on flames eternal
camping ground" We are in
debted to the ladies, of the Memo
rial association, for the Inaugural
tion of this custom, and may 1t
always be observed in future years.
1t may be said that, after ull, it
is only matter of sentiment, but
this kind of sentiment should en-
ter largely into the make up and
character of a people. 1t is a re-
assuring sign of fidelity to princi-
pie, that with each recurring May,
these exercises are held in almo J.
every city, town and hamlet in
our beloved South land. "Father
Ryan expressed the thought
when he said:
eyes, give me land with a grave
in each spot,
And names in the graves that shall
not be forgot. -" 7
Grand old Wade Hampton, who,
as Gen. John B. Gordon trutheully
said, the other day, is "the great
est South Carolinian, who ever
lived" remarked in a public ad-
dress, that no people deserved to
live who lack reverence for their
heroic dead, and l pray, (said he)
that the time may never come,
when the humblest graves of our
soldiers, shall not be decked with
the fairest flowers of Spring"
The South did not altogether
fail in the late war between the
States-It is true, that after four
years of the most heroic struggle
for constitutional rights recorded
in the worlds history, she yielded
to overpowering numbers. but
she, at least, demonstrated to the
world, that she appreciated such
a thing as principle, and was will
ing to seal her devotion to it, with
the blood of her devoted sons. 1t
has been we'll said that "it is not
in the power of mortals to COM
mand success, but we can do more,
we can deserve it, No people
ever fought for more holy cause.
From the first shot fired by the
Citadel cadets, at the transport
steamer, ''Star of the Vest" as
she sought, with hostile intent, in
South Carolina territory, to fur
nish Fort Sumter with munitions
of war-to the last shot fired at
Appomattox, at the invaders of
Virginia's soil-it was defensive
war.
But | will now give way to one
who was an active participant in
that great tragedy enlisting as a
son of the "Old Dominion" un-
der the Stars and Bars, but who
now is enlisted as a soldier under
the blood stained banner of the
cross.
l have the honor of introducing
to you, the Rev. DR.. H. w. Bays,
who has been selected to make the
address on this occasion.
DR.. Bays stepped forward and
for about SO minutes held the
audience spell bound with his elo-
quence. He spoke as follows:

am, therefore, here at her bidding
sir, whose husband, son, father or
brother, it may be-, now sleeps in
some of these honorsd graves.
You ask me, sisters of nv
adopted State, to share with you
the honor of decorating the graves
of our patriotic dead. l accept
your invitation, for it gives to me
the double honor of serving YOU
in a humble way, and of joining
with you in rearing a monument
of tears and flowers upon the
graves of the Confederate soldier,
whose chivalry and heroism has
never been surpassed in the annals
of war. l said, we would rear a
monument Of tears and
flowers, so we shall, and
these shall be to us the solemn
reminders of his victories and re-
verses. We are not here to heap
unmerited eulogy upon the deeds
of our countrymen; but simply
to scatter few flowers upon the
graves of American soldiers-and
then, baptlsed in sisters tears and
consecrated in mothers prayers,
we shall leave them to their peace
full slumbers. To forget these
graves would be to put dishonor
and reproach upon the YER lame
of American valor. 1t is true
that the Confederate soldier needs
no monumental heap to perpetuate
his memory. No flag may ever
float over his dusty bed. Rough
weeds and wild grass may grow
| there:
"But little h'll reck if you let him
sleep on
In the grave where his comrades
| buried him.
No marble shaft marks the spot
where he sleeps, no polished maui
soleum keeps guard by his dusty
bed, no sentry walks on his beat
to drive the intruder from his
tomb. He needs no such recog-
milton to immortalize his deeds.
His deeds call for no recognition
save that which comes from the
hearts of his grateful country
men. The tears of his aged mother,
and the flowers in the hands Of his
lgrateful sister, constitute monu-
ment to his memory more endur-
ing than bronze or iron, and more
betting his deeds of valor than
granite shafts or floating flags.
Prayers, tears and flowers are the
tokens of woman's devotion, and
they enrich the grave of the
silent sleeper. Here he has slept
since the days of battle-let him
sleep on in quiet, peaceful rest un-
til the Son of God shall come.
His coffin rude box, his shroud
his gray-jacket, but immortal
honor shall publish his deeds to
all future generations.
They may never be carved upon
stone, chiseled in the rock, mould
ed in bronze or wrought in iron,
but they will live in our hearts
| forever, as the richest heritage of
a grateful, bravo and patriotic
people
