Grating intense and unjust prejudice

oeen offered to him. 1t will probably
result in the erection of monument
to him when he finally passes to the
other side Of the river. Be it we'll un-
derstood, however, that in spite Ut
the immense size Of che pension list,
there were many brave soldiers of the
Northern army who were just as sin
cerc and disintercsted in their ser.
vice to their country as were our own
brave men, and who hold a very high
place in the estimation not only of
their neighbors, but of all Southern
soldiers who have met them since the
war. Only these Gre the sort of men
on both sides who never come be-
fore the public with demands that
their services in the past be reward,
ed by femunerative positions at pres.
ent.
1t is rather remarkable that, while
many old veterans continue to attend
the reunions, nearly all the distin-
gulshcd officers of the Southern armies
have passed away, although quite o
number Of them were but young men
at the beginning Of the war. To the
generation now growing up the his.
tory of the Civil war seems almost as
remote rs that Of the Revolution. Il.
r. Lee, "Stonewall' Jackson, "Jcb"
Stuart and many another Of those men
who made Virginia the scene of so

their place along with Washington
and his generals in their youthful
imaginations. |. hardly seems pos
slble to them tnat any Of those who
shared in their battles and triumphs
OR defeats can still be alive to tell the
story Of those days. AS the News
and Courier said in welcoming the
veterans to Charleston: "We have
sometimes thought that the services
OF these men were not properly appre-
ciated by the younger generations who
control the life aud purpose and des-
tiny of South Carolina to-day. It is
well that there should be annual re-
Unions Of the survivors of the War
for Southern Independence, in order
that the people Of the present day may
see OF what metal the men of the
most glorious period in the history Of
the State were made. They will OILY
be here for q little while longer. Their
ranks are thinning every day. Hamp-
ton will never ride at the head of the
old Confederate legions again. Cor.
don has gone over to the other side.
Conner departed long since. Nc
Gowan ia no more. Longstreet, Ker-
shaw, Hagood, Gary snd Elliot have
all gone on into the Valley Of the
Shadow, and officers and men are fell
ing in the iuexorable strife Of life
every day. Tho order has come to
those who survive that they shall close
up and march on. What q glorious
army it has been! What Q glorious
army it still ISL But how much do
our young people know Of the strug-
gle through which this glorious army
has passed7 Session after session
in school they are drilled in the his
tory OF the United States as o whole
until they know the battles Of the
Revolution by heart and can repeat
the list Of sea duels which formed the
main feature Of the War of 1912; but
how much can they tell of the battles
OF the War for Southern Indepen-
dence where infinitely more important
principles were involved and greater
numbers were engaged on each side?

The demand made by the grangers
of the Kent County Levy Court, that
some improved road building be done
in that county, says the Milford ChrOn-
icIe is all right, and we hope that the
farmers will insist that something in
this direction shall be accomplished.
Nothing will be of more direct benefit
to the farmer than good stone roads
well graded; and, as they pay the
greater part of the taxes, it is presum-
ed that they have a right to ask that
their desires shall be recognized.
With a good workhouse for the indo
lent criminals now in the jails of Kent
and Sussex counties, many thousands
of dollars could be saved and applied
towards building stone roads; but re-
CARELESS of all other matters, the far
mers of the two lower counties should
be given better roads. They are will
ing to pay even a small special tax for
such purpose; as the case has been de-
monstrated in Sussex where several
districts have been operating under
special acts of Legislature and have
laid special taxes for this very pur-
pose. If good roads are given to them
the people will not grumble about the
bill. We are glad to have the grangers
prod the Levy Courts on this subject,
keep the matter agitated and it will
develop finally. There is always OPP
position to any forward step, but when
it is once made, the DIRECTORS are the
first to use and be proud of the ad-

Ak HANDLES.
Heart or Sap Wood - Curved or

Heart or Sap Wood - Curved or
StEaiRht-Hanging the Ak.
When buying an ak handle always
select one that is made entirely from
the sap wood or the heart wood, but
never one that is made partly of each,
for it will split along the line of union.
Handles made from sap wood are more
elastic and better for chopping, and a
man will not tire or get sore so quick
ly when using one, says an Orange
Judd Farmer correspondent.
l prefer those made from the heart
wood for splitting, although they are
not so durable. The proper length and
curve of the handle depend upon the
habit and method of chOpping of the
user. With a long handle a man will
strike a much harder blow, but with
a short handle he will strike Oftener.
so there is practically no difference in
the work accomplished.
The curve, too, depends upon the
habit of the user. A curved handle has
no advantage over the one that is per-
fectly straight. Most people prefer the
curved because they are accustomed
to it's use AS a rule, the straight han
die is more durable. The size of the
handle depends upon the muscular de-
velopment of the user. If it is too
small it will cramp the fingers, and if
too large it will lame the hands and
wrists.
If one will examine the end of a
piece of wood he will see that it is
made of layers, each layer represent
ing the growth of one year Wood
splits much more easily along these
lines than across them; hence when
