PENSIONS.

The house has passed bill apprOpri-
ating $500 600 for Confederate pensions.
This bill passed the house with only
FIVE votes against it--Messr8. Moses,
Freeman, Dominick, Dorroh and Logan.
A bill of similar import was passed last
year appropriating Sl50,OOO bnt the
regular appropriation bill carried
only 100000 and the Supreme court
held only that amount could be drawn
from the treasury.
When the Stace first started to grant
pensions to Comics rate soldiers only
$4,000 was appropriated. 1t seems to
increase gradually, and after while
it will become more than the State can
stand. We would not for moment be
understood as intimating that the State
should withhold her hand from any
needy Confederate for We are on record
as advocating a liberal provision for
those who are deserving and needy,
but if the State should undertake to
pension all who are deserving she could
include every boy who shouldered a
musket and marched so the front from
81 to '65. They all cid their duty, but
the question now is that the State is
only able to take care of those who are
in want and really need her help. Be-
ware of the politician who is always
harping on the old soldier. l. any OF
them are in need and should have the
help of the State that help should be
fully and willingly given, and we do
not desire that any old soldier shall
suffer for the necessaries of life, but
that there are some on the pension rolls
who should not be no one will deny.
AS to a soldiers home, there has
been a great; deal said about it, and the
Confederate veterans have asked for it
fit is really desired now is the time
to build it. We have never been an
advocate of a home, because we have
soldier would rather have what help
the State can give him and remain at
home with his relatives and among the
associates of his youth, and that if a
home were built there would be very
few occupants, but if it is ever intended
to build home the plan now proposed
should be adopted and the home built.
The appropriation that has hereto
fore been made for pensions has not
been sufficient ty pay the per capita
provided by law. 1t is SS per month
for one class; S4per month for an
other class; aDd So per month for an
other class. According to the comp
troller generals report the majority of
the pensioners have been receiving only
$500 per year which IS almost nothing.
They should have more than that.

The proposition for biennial sessions
has passed the house. We do not see
much benefit to be derived from this
change. About the only argument in
it's favor is economy. We doubt If
there would be any saving. It is pro-
posed to limit the biennial session to
fifty days. This would save thirty days
in two years, but there is no telling
how many days would be spent in extra
sessions and they would be without
limit. The only advantage we can see
is that we would then only have elec-
tions every four years. That might
help some, but we doubt it. Better not
be changing the constitution too much.
The states which have biennial ses-
sions usually have extra sessions.

BUILD THE RAILROAD.

The Rev. Sam P. Jones has recently
returned from trip to Colorado, aud
while there made a visit to Cripple
Creek and other rich mining towns of
that famous section. He says he saw
more gold than ever before in his life
and speaks in pleasant terms Of the
towns and the people. Wages are good,
money plentiful and everybody appar-
emily happy. There seems to be no end
to gold. 1t extends, he says, from grass
roots down in the ground twelve hun
dred feet and still on down. No one
knows how far. MIR. Jones is philoso-
pher. With all these riches in sight
he says: The viens grow.richer and
broader as they 60 down, and yet in
spite of all I have said there are but
two classes of men who can afford to
monkey with gold mining property.
One is the fellow who bas millions and
can make or lose millions more and not

who has nothing to lose. These two
classes of men can afford to monkey
with gold mines"
We do not quote this to discourage
any Of our friends in Newberry who
are monkeying with gold mines. We
saw stated somewhere that an experts
opinion was that the recent gold find
in Saluda was superior to Cripple
Greek. We hope this may prove true
and that very soon all of these gentle
men may be wealthy.
But these gentlemen who are inter,
estea in Saluda gold should go to work
and build railroad from Newberry to
Augusta via the gold fields. 1t is
greatly needed. There may be one or
two little towns spring up along the
road, but we hope no one will be fool
ish enough to oppose a railroad on that
account. Some such foolish notion as
this forced the Seaboard around Us
which We all regret, but that does not
secure the road. Let us all go to work
now ald build the road to Augusta.
This will bring she gold fields much
closer and nearer to New berry.

tbs LIEN Law.

The bill proposing to repeal the lien
law has been killed. The law should
be repealed, but at least one year
should be given so that every body could
adjust his affairs to the new conditions.
But nothing will be done by this Legis-
Iature and those who desire to give
liens can proceed with their arrange
merts as heretofore.

The bill providing salaries for county
officers as it passed the Senate fixes
salaries in Newberry as follows: Audi
tor 81 900; Treasurer $1,000; County
Supervisor, $50. These are the sala-
ries now in force. The Sheriff's salary
is fixed at S1,10O, and he is allowed 20
cents per day for dieting prisoners.
This may all be changed, however, be-
fore the bill is finally passed.

white Man Turned Yellow.

Great consternotion was left by the
friends of M. A. Hogsrty of Lexington,
KY, when they saw he was turning
yellow. His skin SLOWLY changed color,
slso his eyes, and he suffered terribly.
His malady was Yellow Jaundice. He
was treated by the best dyctors, but
without benefit. Then he was advised
to try Electric Bitters, the wonderful
Stomach and Liver remedy, and he
writes: "After taking two bottles |
was wholly cured" A trial proves its
matchless merit for all Stomach, Liver
and Kidney troubles. Only 25c. Sold

COUNTY PENSION LIST.
A REVIS ed LIST OF THOSE WHO ARE
ENTITLED TO PENSION IN THIS
COUNTY.
The Work OF the County Pension Board
which Closed it's Work on Monday
-I45 Entitled to Pensions
Three Less Than Last
Year

The Comfy Pension Board held it's
last meeting on Monday and closed up
the work before it, and through the kind
ness of Mr.. w. G. Peterson, clerk of the
Board, we are enabled to publish the re-
suit of their work.
AS will be seen the pensioners are di-
vided of into classes, which last year re-
ceived pensions as follows:
Class A, $72; Class B, $16.4o; Class c,
No. I, S1e.3 Class c, No. 2, $12.3o; Class
c, No. 3, s12 80; Class c, No. 4, $I2.3o.
The 1901 Act provides in regard to
these classes as follows: "(a) All soldiers
and sailors who lost both arms or both
legs, or sight, or who are physically help
less, the sum Of eight dollars per month.
(b) All soldiers or sailors who lost one
arm or leg in the said service, the sum
of four dollars per month. (c) All other
persons entitled to pensions under the
provisions of this chapter, the sum OF
three dollars per month"
The law further provides: "The sum
of at least one hundred thousand dollars
shall be appropriated to paythe pensioners
provided for in this chapter, and in case
the same, or such amount as shall be ap-
propriated, shall be insufficient, then
the amount so appropriated shall be dis
tributed proportionately among those le-
gally entitled to receive the same: Pro-
vided, That these pensioners described in
subdivision (a) shall have been first paid
in full"
AS will be seen from the list Newberry
has no pensioners in class A, and the
above provision accounts for the pension
ers not receiving the amounts designated
in the law.
The following is a complete list OF
those who will receive pensions this year
-, thie county.
