PENSION BOUNTY.

| 1t has not yet clearly developed
just what changes are contempla-
ted at present session of the legis-
laturo as to the matter Of pension
appropriations. 1t is safe to say.
however, that some amendments
to the present law will DO offered.
People do not object TO Il reason
able tax or tax sufficient to raise
a respectable fund for distribu-
ton among worthy and needy vet
Grams or their widows but the law
now of force admits some to this
bounty who, under strict rule
governing the distribution of the
same, are not omitted thereto.
There arc. no doubt, some draw
ing pensions under the present law /
who are not entitled to this money
and who we're not contemplated
when the draft was made but who,
by reason of the law s general ap-
plication, are not restricted under
its provisions.
We believe that pensions ought
to be based on service and not ups
on present financial condition, and
that 10 man whose faithful service
at all times when not laborng un-
der disability that made reasonable
excuse, can not be established
ought to share in q fund made
available for tho purpose Of rccog-
nizing those who gave service when
1T was demanded, and sorcly need
od by the country.

A NOTE TO THE DISSATISFIED.

Ten years ago, there was a rogu-
lar exodus of young men from this
section of South Carolina to the
north. h.wost. Some of them have
done we'll in their adopted places
while some hayc returned TO THEN
erstwhile homes with less than
they carried with thom but with
moro Of worldly wisdom than when
they left.
The few who have bcon fortu-
nate would, no Goubt, with SINH
lar application and effort, have
succeeded equally as w.ll in this
country.
Those who have returned bring
with them stories of hardship, tho
relation Of which makes lnteres.
| ting chapters in novel experiences
to them, and tales worth hcsdlng
by all who are dissatisfied with
their present surroundings.
The South is advancing and ev-
cry year brings opportunities for
young men who are not afraid Of
work. The glamour Of adven.
ture passes when one settles to the
opinion that all success must be
wrung from local conditions, and
conditions measure up about even.
ly throughout the United States.
Going to y new place means
starting life over at d disadvantage
and life is to short too waste ia
speculation and experiment when
there is abundance to be done Of
fering the best returns to all who
bend their energies with willing.
ness to the task. The best advice
that can be given is that, before
deciding to leave your home--the
home Of your birth sand childhood
YOU count Well the cost with
due regard tor tho risks involved. 4

ted as tho result Of the insistcnt
demand of legislators that only the
Sessions court take jurisdiction of
certain oil'cnscs, however trivial,

There is no reason in tho world
why inferior courts should not be
invested with fill jurisdiction of

Port Chester, N r., April 23.John Sullivan and William Joyce, two Port Chester boys, fought a six-round bout at 115 pounds in Purdy's picnic grove, urear this place, Tuesday night. The mill took place in the woods, under a big arc light, and was witnessed by about 100 persons. Tn the third round somebody cried "Policer' and there was wild scramble to get away. The alarm proved to be false, and the scrappers and spectators again gath cred for the fray.
 Joyce had been bragging for some time that he could put Sullivan to sleep in six rounds. Sullivan stayed the limit and won the purse of $200. Sullivan fought viciously. In one or two rounds when time was called he came up to the center witha mouthful of water, which he squirted into his opponents eyes, thus for a time blind- ing the latter and putting him at a dis advantage.

The Star club, with headquarters on Baldwin street, is one of the oldest SO cial and athletic organizations in the city, and the members are at q loss to understand why they should be cred tied with playing that game of ball with the e-breakers the other af- ternoon. Not one name of those pub Iished is member of the Star club. The Stars think that some one with an axe to grind or a grudge to work ofr had the item put in the paper. The Star base ball team goes for bigger game than strike-breakers, and 1t is not afraid to cross bats with any of the leaguers even if it does not hold a place in the league.

He admitted that there had been some. but that there was no reason why the board should stand still. To say Great Britain was much ahead of the United States in such matters was no argument, and in his opinion America industrially was ''h--l with the lid off, and he trusted that England never would follow the ex- ample of the United States.

bsit and his bride will take rank in Pag1s and New York az one of the weaAthiest and most fashionable cou- ples in tho world.
 Mr. Vanderbilt's wealth is between SEQ0OO, 600 and $o0, ,oo0OOo. Or this aknount he inherSted $50, ,o00,OO0 in his own right. Mira. natherford Is believed to be worth $1O, COG, GOO.
 The social anabitions of Mr. Wander bilt cut short by the divorce from his wife, now Mrs. o. H r. Belmont, and those of Mrs Rutherford, twice blight ed by death, now promise to be real iEed. Mir. Vanderbilt had practically just gained the free use of his great inheritance when his domestic tragedy upset his plans. His $8,oOO, ,0oO palace, located on. Flfth avenue, which for haif dozen years was looked upon by hisn as 8 mere place to live in, will now become the center of the ultra fashionable. MT. vanderbilt will take his old place in society In New York, and brilliant things are expected from hin and bis beautiful bride to be.
 It has been said of Mrs. Rutherford that no more beautiful, graceful, tact- etal and witty woman ever graced a fassslonable ballroom in this city. She Is possessed of wealth. of golden hair, wide open violet eyes and regular fea- tnres
 Tine wedding will take place at 6 NAaaaeehaIl gardens, Londcn, the resi- dAncs of Henry White, secretary of the AmeHican embassy, whose wife Is Mrs. Rutherfo0das sisteF-in-iaw.
 Though che utmost secrecy has been naaineained by MT. Vanderbilt, Mrs. Ruthsrford and the close friends to whom they confded their romantic plan, some of the details of the court ship and engagement have become known.
 Mr Vanderbilt first met Mrs. Ruther- ford In this city after the death of Sam uel s. Sands, Jr., her first husband, and peior to her marriage to the late Mr. Rutherford After her second marriage he met her number of times in Paris.
 Gossip has 1t that when MT. Wander btlt sailed for Europe last fall he was sacuetly in quest of the hand and heart of her who for second time had be- come widow His quest was reward sd only little more than month ago.
 1t was then planned to keep the se- eRet as long aa nossibhe in order that their mutual deslre for dUAe8 wsd- ding miEAt ha realized. Had it not been for the necessity of MT.
