The Legion of Loyal Women is an
| other large and well-known body of pa
triotic women whose first thought is for
the soldier, but whose deeds of charity
are not confined to the veterans of the
civil war. BY the rules OF the organiza-
rected to furnish food. clothing, and
medical attention where any is needed.
The legion is not national body. but
is exclusively local organization
Therefore, not having national body
of its own to claim its attention, the or
der has concluded 10 make the comfort
of the army nurses its particular care.
The army nurses. by the way, are as
much part OF the Grand Army as the
Oldest veteran therein. They are women
who nursed the soldiers during the civil
war and who are now infirm and bent
with age.
When Gen. Ell Torrance, the com
mander- in chief of the Grand Army of
the Republic, was here recently he in
formed Mrs. Mussey that 1t was his

and attention bestowed on the army

done unreservedly for its members.
The Women's Auxiliary to the Unior
Veterans Legion is, of course, an ad,
junct to that organization, and its ser
vices will be at the disposal OF the
members of the order.
For purposes of convenience ard that
a greater amount of work may be done
en- a systematic basis, these four large
bodies have been divided into subcom
mittees. At the head of these subcom
mittees is a woman's auxiliary COM
nittee, of which Mrs. Ellen Spencer
Mussey is chairman; Mrs. Rosamund B
Meacham, first vice chairman; Mrs
Henrietta H. Rose, second vice chair
man, and Mrs. Laura V. Mccullough
secretary.
The auxiliary committee has entire
supervision over the work of the sub
committees, and in this way the de-
tails of entertaining the visitors will
be SO arranged that one committee will
rot conflict with the other and that
no two committees will be doing the
same work. 1t will therefore be posi-
BILE to attain the very best results.
Each of the subcommittee has a
chairman. a vice chairman and secre-
tary, and as many members as are will
ing to serve. The subcommittees have
been holding separate meetings for the
past several weeks and are now getting
their plans into definite shape.
There are thirteen subcommittees. as
follows: Committee of army nurses. COM
mittee on badges, committee on courte-
sizes, committee of daughters of veterans.
committee on decorations, executive
committee. floral committee, committee
on halls, committee of Ladies OF the
Grand Army of the Republic. press com,

ception committee. and the committee of
the Woman's Relief Corps.

tees suggest the outline OF work which
they will follow.

TO visiting veterans and corps
The Woman's Relief Corps is ma
tional body. and is probably more close
ly affiliated with the Grand Army than
any other woman's organization. Its
membership is upward of 1900, and its
corps are located in almost every CITY
of the United States. Its charity work
is never done, and the wants and cares
of veterans of the civil war are its only
and absorbing aim.
1t is expected that fully 1000 out-of-
town members OF the Woman's Relief
Corps will come to Washington in Oc-
tober. In order to have these visitors
properly attended TO Mrs. Ellen Spencer
Mussey, chairman of the womans aux
iliary committee, has appointed a com
nittee OF 200 women, all members of the
order. to devote their entire time and
attention to the organization. The chair

Never get a man to conduct your

you how to produce pork who never

MIXED one; to tell you how to raise
cattle who never fed a calf; how to
make and save hay who never pitch
ed forkful; how to make money
feeding steers who never was in the
feed lot; how to cultivate the garden
who never used hoe; how to raise
and care for horses who never pstted
and fondled q colt. Remember that

White ORANGES.

In few years white oranges may
grace the American dinner table or
the Italians fruit wagon. One of the
explorers of the Agricultural Depart
ment discovered this freak of nature
in his rambles along the shores of the
Mediterranean some months ago, and
brought some cuttings from the tree
to the United States. These were
carefully grated on an ordinary stock
at the Department grounds, and are
now three feet high. A cutting of
this plant was sept to Santa Anna,
CAL, to be tried in that climate. A
couple of years will see the first fruit.
If it proves of fine favor, cuttings
will be widely scattered, and in time
the white orange may be as plentiful
as the seedless orange.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Let a wanderer from old Lexing-
ton have little talk with the read
ers of the dear old Dispatch.
On the morning of the 7th inst, I
left my home at Lewieaale for this
point, arriving here that afternoon
about 4 o'clock. Coming by way Of
the Atlantic Coast Line from Colum
bia with beautiful day gave me
fine opportunity to view as the best
one can ell that fine section OF farms
along the line Of this road, by way
of Sumter, Florence, Dillon and
many other thriving towns to Dunn,
N G. Here I was met by brother
Reuben and several other relatives
and friends and taken out to this
place and my final stopping place at
the hone of my brother.
Since my arrival here my time has
been spent chiefly in pleasant greet
ings of kindred and friends, and
some preliminary work preparatory
to beginning the work for which I
came. That work is the teaching of
the school at the Avery school house,
which will begin on the 17th inst,
ten. days from the time of my arrival
here.
Tn this district I taught my first
public school about % years ago.
Since then the old building has been
burned and the new building to take
its place is said to be one Of the best
in the county.
This county is awakening from it's
long Rip Van Winkle sleep. Many
signs of progress are noted.

ZEE THE MENACE OF TRUSTS.
The People Are becoming Convinces
of the Dangers OF Repub-
Hcan Protection.

Unquestionabiy the sentiment of the
middle west and northwest at the pres
ent time is so strongly in favor of
tariff revision as to promise some ex-
tremely disagreeable surprises for the
republican party in the near future
says the ST. Louis Republic.
For some few years past the people
have been slowly but surely awaken
ing to the fact that a high protective
tariff contained no meaning of benefit
to themselves. They have found that
the only results, as far as they were
concerned, was that they were COM
PEELED to pay higher prices for Amer
lean manufactured products than was
paid in foreign markets for the same
products. When they remembered
that the high tariff was levied for the
express purpose of protecting" Amer
lean Industries from foreign competi
ton, the fact above mentioned opened
their eyes to the bunko nature of the
tariff.
During the time that the people, the
consumers, have been paying this tar
if tax, amounting to many millions of
dollars, the monopoly trusts, the sole
beneiciaries of this tax tribute ex-
acted from the people, have grown
enormously wealthy. The chief fig
ures in these trusts are millionaires
many times over. They have been
made SO because of the enormous prof
its ON their goods which the Ameri-
can consuming public was, compelled
to pay. Growing thus wealthy, they
have also become arrogant and in
solent. They do not now recognize
that the people have any rights which
they are bound to respect. They feel
that they control the republican par
ty and that the republican party
controls the government, hence they
are safe in scorning the people and in
sisting upon further privileges and
the maintenance of the high protective
tariff.
There is big surprise in store for
these monopoly millionaires and for
the political party which does their
bidding. The patience of the Ameri-
can people has at last reached its
limit. The recent development of
beef trust rapacity and of the railway
trend toward a most ominous mo-
nopoly of the carrying trade in the
northwest has aroused the people to
sense of peril. Protective action
will be taken at the polls in the con
gressional elections this year and in
the presidential elections two years
hence. The people now know beyond
all question that they must eliminate
the trust evil from American life if
the rights of the many are to prevail
as against the privileges Of the few.

guests during the try Place.
heated term. The number taken by
anyone is usually small enough so that
the hostess can have personal ac
quaintance with her guests. And in
many cases the guests are made to
feel as much at home as if at house
party of her friends. Mrs. Hoe, wife
of the famous maker of printing
presses, has a summer home of this
pleasant character, where usually
dozen guests are entertained with as
much courtesy as if they did not come
from and return to the poorest tene
ments; numerous vacation girls
clubs are of the same sort. At some
of these small fee is charged for
board, so that the guest may feel that
she is paying her way. Passengers on
the New Haven road pass every day a
beautifully located summer home for
! shop girls, where usually a dozen or
more happy girls are out boating upon
lovely river. 1t is pretty sight.
Schwab will do the same thing on a
larger scale. He has bought a big
tract of land on Staten island, includ-
ing hotel and a strip of beach. Here
he will entertain all summer long not
a dozen, but thousand Or two poor
children, who may be taken from the
heart of the s1um district, enjoy ride
thither on steamboats, chartered for
their exclusive service, and frolic
about to their hearts content.

Tariff revision is declared to be
in the air in congressional circles at
Washington and undoubtedly got a
great scnd-off in the vote of the
house on the Cuban bill, on which
60 republicans put themselves on
record in favor of removing the
pfngiey tariff on refined sugar. It
ia believed to be the beginning of an
effort within the republican party to
make a general revision of the Ding
ley Observation-Disclosures Post.
Tie people have long ago ac-
curately sized up the trust situation.
They know that the great combina-
lions in restraint of trade are .
menace of the gravest import to the
general good. They have seen these
organizations created and fostered
by republican policies. In every i'm

the trusts aligned solidly on the re-
publican side, contributing heavy
sums to the republican campaign

ence to compel their employees to
vote the republican ticket.-St. Louis
