NOT so MANY PENSIONS
AS YEAR AGO.
Burden Will Cease to Be Noticed in
Ten Years.


Ten Years.
Washington, Sept. 10.-The- annual
report of Commissioner of Pensions
Ware places the total number of pen
sioners now on the rolls at 1896, 545, of
which 729,S56 are soldiers and 267, 1S9 are
widows and dependents. Mr.. Ware an
nounces that it is not probable that the
pension roll will again cross the mil
lion line, the high water mark having
been reached a year ago.
The roll shows a net loss of 2901
pensioners during the year. Out of a
total of 304, 800 applications on hand
during the year, 130,109 were admitted,
and 1924 rejected. The average an

the Civil War $2,862, $40 400.
The cost of the pension system per

$1.75. The system according to Com

States in 1898, since which time it has
shrunk from 1924 to $1.32 per 81 900 OF
taxable wealth and in ten years, he

OBITUARY..
Mr.. D. c. Wilson, ST..

From the Beaufort Gazette.
Mr.. wilson death closed a life that
for forty years was a part of this
community. His energy and enterprise
controlled it's events to an appreciable
extent, while his strong and delight
| full individuality thoroughly saturated
| with the charm of his native Scot
land) colored the daily life of his
! townspeople. He was rather the pro-
moter than the investor, a man OF
foresight, and strong and practical
imagination, which characteristics
made him for many years the princi-
pie figure in the larger affairs Of this
immediate section.
Perhaps no one of his contemporaries
worked so faithfully and hopefully for
the community as did Mr.. Wilson. He
was public spirited to a degree. He
believed in Beaufort and could give
good reason for his faith. He talked
the town up and not down. Ten men
like him would be the making of any
section.
Mr.. Wilson's library is a proof of his
strong love of knowledge as well as
an index of the subjects in which he
was chiefly interested. No one who
knew him, however, would need proof
of his store of information, for his
memory was remarkably tenacious and
he never seemed more in his element
than when f1uently summoning a host
of facts to back some proposition as
to the commercial value of Port Royal,
the phosphate situation, or relating
to the history of this section. For
some time he was president of the Port
Royal and Augusta Railroad and be-
came a storehouse of information con-
corning railroad matters, and espec-
tally of port facilities; he had at his
fingers end the latest information con-
corning the great systems whose
building he watched with intense in
terest, and of the depth of the princi-
pal ports of the world, and the draft
of every ship of note. His library
shows his interest in local history in
that it contains many rare books and
pamphlets concerning Beaufort and it's
people, being especially strong in war
time" literature.
gallant spirit has left us, one
which no adversely could daunt, in
whom a persistent optimism was a
chief characteristic. Business reverses
and disastrous cyclones were courage
ously meet and conquered. No sterner
test of character could be given to a
man than the four years of sickness
which preceded Mr.. Wilson's death
For many. many months he suffered
the tortures of an especially irritat-
ing disease, with death as the only
hope of release, and through it all he
retained his cheerful attitude. To the
very last he was interested in his town
and friends, thoughtful of his atten-
dants, giving way to his foe step by
step courageously dying as CALAMITY
as he had lived.
Beaufort owes much to Mr.. Wilson's
achievements and more to the example
of his character.

New Pope WORKING Hard.

Rome, Sept. 10.-The Pope is really
carrying out his intention to do all and
know all, and for this purpose he has
not yet appointed a secretary of state.
While writing the encyclical addressed
to the Catholic bishops throughout the
whole world, which he turned over
sheet by sheet to Monsignors Sardi and
CALI to translate into Latin, the Pom
tiff was also employed in personally
writing answers to diplomatic notes
and attending to other political busI-
ness which did not go into the hands
of Mgr. Merry Del Val, the acting sec
rotary of state. In this way the Pope
in less than two months of his pontifl-
cate, has learned many things, and Is
able to direct and carry out his policy,
which he is now quietly formulating.
