To Exempt Veterans from License Fees.

Columbia, January 30.-The matter of

of the Confederate States who were hon
orably discharged from such service shall
hereafter be exempt from the charge of

vided, that such soldiers and sailors shall

Startling But True.

People the world over were Mortified
on learning of the burning of Chicago
theatre in which nearly six hundred peo-
pie lost their lives, yet more than
five times this number, or over 5000 peo-
pie died from pneumonia in Chicago
during the same year, with scarcely a
passing notice. Every one of these cases
of pneumonia resulted from a cold and
could have been prevented by the timely
use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. A
great many who had every reason to fear
pneumonia have warded it off by the
prompt use of this remedy. The follow
ing is an instance of this sort: "Too
much cannot be said in favor of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy, and especially
for colds and influenza. know that it
cured my daughter, Laura, of severe
cold, and believe saved her life when
she was threatened with pneumonia. I"

An Important Matter in the Supreme Court.

A matter affecting 2l counties in the
State has been brought into the Supreme
Court. 1t will settle the validity of the
bonds issued by these II counties and
aggregating hundreds of thousands of
dollars. Chester county was authorized
last year to issue $4,000 in bonds to re-
fund old bonds coming due. The fund
ing was accomplished at q lower rate of
empted from taxation. SIT has been
b ought to- test the consuitutionality of
the act exempting bonds from taxation.
If this exemption provision should be
invalidated, the decision would affect 20
other counties in the State.

WASTING ENERGY IN ANDERSON.

One night last week the editor of the
Anderson Daily Mail got down to figur-
ing. lie was at the opera house; he was
in a cool and calculating frame of mind
he was serious-intensely serious; and
he was surrounded on all sides by people
chewing gum. Think of that! And yet
he was calm and serene and making men-
tal notes. The Mail of the next morn
ing contained the following:
We timed those nearest us and found
that each pair of Jaws made ten strokes
T. minute. Then we estimated that each
stroke required an energy equal to at
least one-tenth of one horse power. This
is a very low estimate.
That is to say, each person developed
one horse power each minute by chew
ing gum. Or every ten persons developed
one horse power every second.
Therefore, figuring that 100 hundred
persons in the audience were chewing
gum, that meant that there was ten horse
power being developed and going to
waste.
Try to realize that-ten horse powe er
going to waste. IL made us almost sick
to think of that much valuable power
going to waste in busy, industrial Ander-
son. 1t is enough to run a respectable
manufacturing cstablshment-and it is
all going to waste.
There is n great doal of truth about
what the Mail has to say. Gum chewing
As AN energy wasting practice. There is
but one good feature about tit some
times prevents chewing the rag about
ones neighbors.
The statement that there was enough
energy being wasted in chewing gum to
Tun a respectable manufacturing estab-
lishment is what rubs us the wrong way.
The question is, could or would RE-
SPECTACLE manufacturing establish
rnent utilize such power.

THE FINANCES OF WALHA..LA.

In another column will be found the
annual report of the treasurer of the
I. town of Walhalla, which, we think,
makes splendid showing for the muni-
cipal finances. 1t shows that the officers
of the town are now handling over $4,000
for the town annually, and it shows, too
and it is an important matter--that they
have handled it we'll, for they bring for
ward from the 1904 funds AS credit for
1905 funds the sum Of $81S.43.
We feel that this is an excellent show
ing for the financial department of the
municipal government, and that the
officers chosen deserve the commenda-
tion Of every citizen for faithful per-
formance of duty in an unpleasant and
too often thankless position. The town
is just emerging from condition that
has necessitated the entailing of heavy
expense-th that is, she is just beginning to
see her way out. financially, from the ex-
penses incurred a few years ago for such
necessary improvements rs the building
and equipping Of the graded schools, in
creased work on streets, etc., and we find
that our public servants have during 1904
liquidated claims of their predecessors
amounting to $342.63, and were still able
to bring forward cash balance as fol-
lows:

TO 1905 the amount of previous Councils 8
contracts we find that the present officers
have carried on the years. work with an
expenditure for that period 81, I61 .O8 less
than the receipts.
With this showing for 1904 those of our
citizens who are disposef to grumble
and find fault with each Succeeding mu-
nicipal administration may we'll compose
themselves and render to their public
servants, whose duties often call them to
unpleasant and disagreeable tasks, that
ment and assistance to which they are
justly entitled.
Let each citizen resolve that during the
present year there shall be no word of
unjust censure given to our local officials,
no pulling against those who have in
their hands the reins of government, but
rather that each shall do his full part as
a loyal citizen to assist them, thus max
ing it possible, at the close of the present
year, for them to give even a better ac-
count of their stewardship than they did
at the close of their first term.
