TIE MANUFACTURE OF Corn
WmsKEY.-The State says the people
have little conception of the amount of
whiskey manufactured here in Col
umbia. Many in the State do not
know that such a thing as a distillery,
the largest perhaps south of Kentucky,
is in full operation ON the banks of the
Congaree river near the big Olympia
cotton mill, whose daily output, when
rnnning at the full capacity, is about
1000 gallons of corn whlskey, con
Stunning 600 bushels of grain a day.
But il is a fact, and a vi 1T to the
Richland Distillipg company will con
vince the most skcptical. The pro.
h%ibltionist may hold up his hand in
horror, but the manufacture of liquor
is II of II recognized and legalized
institutions. The government derives
all enormous revenue therefrom and
the taxes imposed upon whiskey and
tobacco is enough TO crush them out
OF existence, yet men, or rather the
majority of them, will drink and chew,
and upon the the burden of
taxation falls. The Richland Dis
tilling company is an incorporated con-
Germ capitalized at S75 900. Its Off
GERS are N. M. Block, Macon, Ga,
president; j. S. Farnuin, Charleston,
vice president; j. w. Bernhelm, LOUIS
vile, KY, treasurer, and b. M. Wilson,
formerly of Dawson, Ga, but now of
Columbia, general manager.

INTEREST TO PENSIONERS
A Statement of the Work Thai
Must be Done Before Paymcnr

A Statement of the Work That
Must be Done Before Payment
Can be Made.
The following official statement for
the benefit of the pensioners of the
State has been issued by the pension
department in Columbia:
Every year, almost as soon as the
Legislature adjourns and the appro-
prlation for pensions becomes available,
such questions are certainly asked as,
When will the money be paid out?
Why should the poor old soldiers and
widows be kept waiting so long for
their money when they need it so
badly2 etc, etc.
These and various other questions
can best be answered by a simple state
ment of the amount of work necessary
before this fund can be disbursed.
The various county boards are sup
posed to meet on the third Monday in
January of each year to pass on all new
applications and revise the old list of
pensioners. II is necessary in every
county to have several meetings before
they can get their reports in proper
shape to send in to the State pension
board, and even after they are received
here every mail brings in belated appli.
cations from the chairmen requesting
that they be added to their rolls. This
is not the fault of the boards, but is
due to the fact that the applicants fol
pensions are often unacquaintcd with
the time the board meets, or have hat
difficulties in getting witnesses, etc., in
many cases the boards held their re-
ports back purposely, hoping to get al
the applications in at once. The State
board requested that all the reports
should be in by March, but the last one
has just come in, and therefore it was
impossible to call a meeting of The
State pension board before.
The State pension board, when IT
meets, has to consider each new APP
plication, which is, necessarily, a slow
and tedious process, and also hear
appeals, etc. 1t is quite likely they
will be in session several days this
year, as the number of applications is
very large. After their work is ovel
the pension clerk then has to prepare
the pay-rolls for the clerks of court oil
each county and, as there are ovcl
! 5000 names, this of itself takes some
little time.
1t is the desire Of the State pension
board to pay the pensioners just as
soon as possible, as they are in con
slant touch with them and know JUS
how great is their need of this hell
and every expedition possible is use d

DEATH OF WILLIAM f. BEARD.

Confederate Veteran Has
Passed Over the River.
Greenville Mountaineer, April 8.
Mr.. William f. Beard died on the 3rd
inst. at his home on East Washington
street, in the 10th year of his age. His
health has been on the decline for the
past year, but an indomitable will kept
him from yielding to the infrmities of
age and increasing feebleness, and he
was on the streets last Monday while the
~tiercest winds were blowing. His con-
dition grew worse the next day, and af-
ter a paroxysm Of coughing on Thurs
day morning he quietly passed away.
Mr. Beard was a native of Columbia,
where he was born in September, 1889.
His father had large means at one time,
and he belonged to a family that was
conspicuous for patriotic devotion to
their country. Two of his uncles were
members of the famous Palmetto regi
ment in the Mexican war, and though q
mere boy the deceased sought to go with
youth from being accepted. He became
an expert and skillful machinist, anG
for a time was connected with the ole
q. 81 G. machine shops at Helena, going
from there to Laurens In the year 1855
he was married to Miss Mary K Hoyt
the eldest daughter of the late Col. j.. p
Hoyt, Of Laurens, and when the Cal
was made for volunteers in 1861 he
joined the State Guards, the first com
pany that eft Laurens to become a par
of the great army that was destined t.
win fame on many fields and which was
known afterwards as Go. A, Third 8 9
regiment The services Of Mr.. Beard a,
a machinist were more valuable to tn,
Confederacy than in the field, and q

works at Richmond, but retained hi,

While it is understood, says the New
York Press, that women are preservr
ing their youth almost to the point of
annihilating old age, it is also true that
women's hair turns gray sooner than
it used to. 1t is said that there are no
old ladies IN these days. Our grand
mothers refuse to put on caps and sit
at home with their knitting. On the
other hand, their grand. daughters be-
gin to have gray hair before they get
out of college.
