Bounty for Veterans.

AS the result of recent develop
ments it appears that volunteers for
the Spanish war, who were honor
ably discharged from the service, are
entitled to bounties ranging from
500 to $160. Volunteers who
served in the State only are entitled
to 500, and those who went to Cuba
or the Philippines are entitled to
$160. 1t is not confined to South
Carolina, of course, as all volunteers
are entitled to the same bounty, the
only condition being their honorable
discharge. The bounty, it seems, is
due under an old law that was en-
acted during the civil war and which
has just been declared by the
Supreme Court to be still Of force.
There were ,440 men in the First
regiment from this State, 1,19S in
the Second regiment, and 1875 in the
heavy battery, total Of 1881. Mr..
w. Boyd Evans is working on the
matter in connection with District
Attorney Capers, and unless there
should be some slip, the distribution
of this money will take place before
a great while longer.

Graye and Blues Meet.

Meriden, Conn, November 12.-
There was grand reunion and cele-
bration by the Blue and the Gray
here this evening, the occasion being
the return to Capt. Waterman, of a
Connecticut regiment, of the sword
captured from him by Capt. J. X. P.
Neatherry, of the Confederates dur
ing the Civil war. Capt. Waterman,
of Connecticut regiment, was cap
tured by the Confederates Of King
ston, N. c., and gave up his sword
to Capt. Neathcrry. Capt. Meath
erry, who lives at Columbia, S. c.,
recently ascertained that Capt.
Waterman lived here and offered to
return the sword. BY invitation of
the Grand Army post to which Capt.
Waterman belongs, Capt. Neatherry
came north as its guest, and the
return of the sword to Capt. Water
man was tonight made a joyous
occasion. Several out of town Grand
Army posts participated.

Destitution In Clarendon County.

Manning Times: The condition
Of the county is indeed distressing.
We have had talks with a number of
men whose business has taken them
to the homes of many people in this
county for the purpose of collecting
debts, and they tell us that a very
large number of people are in des-
titute condition. They did not
make enough to pay their debts, and
many farmers, colored and white,
are right now without corn enough
to last them TO the end of the year
in some cases not enough corn to
last them through this month. The
result Of this condition is causing
many TO hide out what little they
have made to keep their debtors
from taking it for advances made
during the summer; some have be-
come so dcmoralized that they have
left their homes and crops to seek
employment in order to keep the
wolf of starvation from their doors.
If what we were told is true it is a
lamentable condition, and one which
will take the most careful manage
ment to stave off famine. The
question to solve now is how to tide
over this fearful condition; the NOR
chants must necessarily be in des-
pcratc straits. If they cannot COL
lect from those they advanced, they
cannot continne advancing because
their continuing to advance depends
entirely upon their collections to
meet the demands against them. If
they fail to meet their obligations
those from whom they secured the
means to advance will discontinue,
and leave the merchants in o help
less condition.

State Fair a Miserable Failure.
[Way of Faith, November ~

way OF rain, November Z.
Last week the State Fair held it's
annual exhibit in Columbia. 1t of
course brought large crowd to the
city, some on business, but tho large
majority on pleasure bent. The
crowd was not nearly 80 large as on
former occasions. Most of the peo-
pie seemed to be in a good humor
and bent on getting all of the inno-
cent pleasure out of the occasion
possible, but alas, not SO with many.
We do not remember in all our lives
to have seen so much drunkenness,
especially among young men. We
saw nicely dressed boys in their
teens staggering and staggering
about the streets in an intoxicated
condition. In many instances this
was laid off on the South Carolina
College boys and our own city boys.
This may be true in few cases, but
most of it was evidently among
young men from other parts of tho
State, who were here visiting the
fair. Such things always make our
heart ache. 1t is bad enough to see
old men stepped in sin in drunken
condition, but to see nicely dressed
young men, who have evidently come
from good families, degrading them
selves in drunkenness and debs ,,hery
is shame beyond description.
We did not go to the fair our
self, but from our best information
we judge :hat it has dcgenerated
into nothing much but horse rae
ing affair and great many little
dirty side shows and few other
things of legitimate character, but
the horse racing and dirty side
shows constitute the bulk of the
fair. Many Of these side shows
under the laws of decency and COM
mon honesty ought to be suppressed
altogether. They are extremely low
and degrading and dishonest.
If the State Fair expects to have
the continued support Of decent peo.
pie, it will have to clean itself up
| from q lot of its filth.

Deputy Collector Harper.

lAnderson Daily Mail, November 14.]
The news reached the city last
night, from source that leaves no
doubt as to its correctness, that
Mr.. @. E. Harper, of Honea Path,
has been appointed Deputy Internal
Revenue Collector by Collector Geo.
r. Koester. Mr.. Harper has been
appointed to succeed Mr.. A. @. Mer-
rick, of Walhalla, who has held the
place for several years. He is to
take charge the first of December.
1t was stated in the papers several
days ago that Mr.. Merrick. had been
appointed by the new Collector.
This, it seems, was the case, but he
has now been notified that the ap-
pointment was only temporary, and
that he is to turn over the Office on
the first of December to Mr.. Harper.
Mr.. Harper is we'll know and popu-
lar citizen of Honea Path. He has
aligned himself with the commercial
wing of the Democracy and has al
ways been strong friend and sup
porter Of Senator McLaurin. 1t has
been rumored for some time that he
would get the place, and the an
nouncement of the appointment will
cause no surprise. He is popular
citizen and his friends will hear of
his good luck with pleasure.

Mormon Elders Told to Leave.

A committee of leading citizens of
Higgins Ferry, Saluda county, last
Friday visited two Mormon elders
who have been preaching thereabout
and warned them to leave within a
limited time.
-Four of their converts were told
that the community would hold them
personally responsible for the pres
ence of the elders there in the future,
and that summary proceedings would
be taken if these notices were disre-
garded.
Citizens of adjoining townships
make common cause with the anti
Mormon agitators, and promise in
the county papers to assist in any
measures necessary to expel the
elders, or worse.

An Interesting Railroad Rumor.

An interesting railroad rumor is
af1oat here. A representative of The
Daily Mail heard of it a month ago,
but as it was given him in secrecy he
could not make use of it at the time.
AS the matter is now being generally
discussed in business circles in the
city, however, it is legitimate sub
ject for publication.
According to the rumor, negolia-
tions are in progress by which the
Blue Ridge railroad is to lease or
purchase the Anderson branch of
the Southern, running from Beltop
to this city,,a distance of ten miles.
The deal is to be made for several
reasons, it is understood, the main
one being to secure a reduction in
operating expenses. The Southern
has always claimed that the Ander-
son branch has never been profitable,
though this will doubtless be taken
with a spoonful of salt. Under the
present arrangement the passenger
train runs through from Walhalla 10
Belton, but the engines and the
entire train crew are changed at
Anderson. If one road owned the
entire line from Walhalla to Bolton
this would not be done, and there
would be monthly saving of ap-
proximately the salaries of one train
crew. That is supposed to be the
main reason for the deal.
The circulation of this rumor has
caused good deal of speculation as
to what effect the change would
have on train service and freight
rates to Anderson, but of course the
whole matter is as yet only in the
speculative stage. In fact, it is not
definitely known that such deal is
on foot, but the fact that the rumor
10 dIlOAG ullu ludU DuSlUCSS uDu are
discussing it seems to give ground
for the belief that there is something
in it. The local railroad people
when asked about it say they know
nothing of it, but the deal, if it is on,
would be managed by the higher
officials and the local officials might
not know of it.
Ever since the Blue Ridge road
was sold at auction here in the sum-
mer and new company formed, the
assertion that it was to be operated
as separate system from the South
ern has been regarded as a kind OF
fake; but the Blue Ridge now goes
to leasing or buying parts of the
Southern the skeptical ones will
have to revise their opinions. The
community of interests" though,
doubtless still exists.

Gen. Joe Wheeler.

Gen. Joe Wheeler, who is on the.
retired list of the U. S. army, with
the rank of brigadier general, is
managing law case in the city of
Washington. It is thought that he
will practice law regularly from this
time on.
Gen. Joe Wheeler is remarkable
man. He did some of the hardest
fighting in the war between the
States, and without the influence of
distinguished mon he was lieuten-
ant general at the early age of
twenty-eight years. During the war
he had sixteen horses killed under
him in battle and many more
wounded. Thirty two of his regular
and acting staff officers were killed
or wounded by his side. He was
himself slightly wounded three
times and once painfully.
Gen. Wheeler is scholar, and
ourtilR Ihe war puDllsned work
styled "Cavalry Tactics," which was
regarded by military men as high
authority.
Gen. Wheeler made an influential
member of Congress-, and in fact has
been an energetic man of business all
his lie.
After he reached the age of sixty
years Gen. Wheeler fought in Cuba
and afterwards had command in
the Philippine Islands and did his
duty everywhere.
1t seems impossible for him to be
idle. He always finds some work to
do.-Abbeville Medium.
