Raidin2 the Treasury.

A special dispatch from Washing
ton to The State says there appears
to be real danger OF the passage by
the Republicans Of the service pen
sion bill, a. measure which makes pos
sible an annual grab from the treasury
of upwards Of $50, 1000, 900. The pro-
position is to psnsion every soldier
VINO fought on the union side In the
Civil war whether be fought for a day
or year, and whether he is sick now OF
was ever sick or unabled. II this bill
is passed there will be no public build
ings bill. There is to be no river and
harbor bill according to the announce
ment Of the chairman Of that commit
tee. Speaker Cannon is said to favor
the pension service bill and the presi-
dent is also quoted as approving 1t.
It will be put forward so far as the
Republicans are concerned, openly as
a good vote gettsr. The argument has
been made tha5 Republican cam
paign fund could not be expended IN q
better way; moreover this fund viii
be contributed by the government.

Twenty Three Gamblers Up Before
the Recorder in Columbia.

The trial of % negroes who, with
W. E. Watts. a white man, were ar
rested Sunday morning between 2 and
3 o'clock in the midst Of an alleged
all-nigt;t gambling session, in Watts
place on upper Main street, came of
Tuesday morning on schedule time
and with considerable eclat.
W. R. Watts, charged with keeping
a gambling house, asked TO- a continu-
ance Of the case against him. 1t was
not made quite clear whett er the con-
tinuance was wanted on the ground
that it would be distaste'ul to his
more refined sensibilities to be tried in
connection with the % negroes who
had been making themselves at home
in his place all night, or because be
desired additional counsel, as be had
only one attorney at the morning ses-
sion and two at the afternoon session.
He presented no witness.
When the case was called platoon
of % coons fell 10" in irregular
double formation without regard to
height, size color or previous condi-
tion. They we're all there-the short
chunky specimen adorned with red
sweater silhouetted against the tall,
slim sport; the big, heavy fellow and
the little thin-voiced negro whose
whisper ratified the tin On the roof;
the leery-eyed individual who was
crazy to take the recorder into his
confidence, and the melancholy mem
Der who had just arrived when the
police busted in"
When the recorder opened the game
every player, while seemingly intense
ly interested, hesitated before playing:
the pikers, contrary to custom, start
ed in just to see how luck was runnin'
and were early joined by bettors on
the side, the lockers on soon Queered
the game and Recorder Stanley called
for a new deal, which so ratified the
entire bunch that they showed in"
their stacks" and took the conse-
quences- vas forfeit OF 81 or
Is days for the ''plungers" and $40 or
80 days for the lockers on
The case against Watts was trans
ferred to the magisterial side Of the
court, and Recorder Stanley, having
Jurisdiction in both, Watts gave a
preliminary hearing Tuesday after
noon and bound him over to appear

Just Had Some.

General Gordon said that, on one
occasion during the Civil War, a
threatened attack Of Federal troops
brought together number Of Confed-
crate officers from several commands.
After a conference as to the proper
disposition of troops for resisting the
expected assault, the Southern officers
withdrew into small log hut stand
ing near, and united in prayer to AL
mighty GOD for His guidance. AS
they assembled, ore of the generals
was riding within hailing distance,
and General Harry Heth OF Hills
corps stepped to the door OF the log
cabin and called to him to come and
unite with his fellow officers. The
mounted General did not understand
the nature Of General Health'sinvit
sion, and replied: No, thank YOU,
