The war department, says a
Washington dispatch, continues to
receive claims from southerners
who lost their horses in the civil war
on their return to their homes from
service with the Confederate army.
For several years claims of this sort
have been paid by the quartermastcr
general under a special provision of
law, to meet which, three appropri-
ations have been made. on each occa-
sion, with the expectation, that thera
would be no further demand for
funds for that purpose. Auditing
officials say that there will probably
be no end to claims of this sort ard
they do not fear an extension of the
period of allowances or additional ap-
propriations to meet these belated
bills. 1t was expected there were
few instances where claims could be
made of the loss by contiscation OF
animals belonging to Confederate
cavalrymen under the circumstances
described, but as one war department
officer describes it, there appears
to have been a larger amount of cav
airy in the dying days OF the Confed-
eracy than has been dreamed of in
the surviving records. Those horse
claims have probably reached their
limit.

Mr.. A. c. Jones, Prohibition candi-
date for governor, claims that if 1t
had not been for the Columbia States
deal with Ellerbe in 1898, Featherstone
would have been elected governor. We
are not exactly prepared to endorse
that because we do not know that the
States influence was sufficient to ma
terially affect the issue; but at the
same time the deal referred to was
not very creditable to either of the
participants. From the manner In
which the State urged the support of
Ellerbe, begging it's readers to vote as
it desired without taking them into
its confidence as to its reasons, If 1t
influenced anybody at all there is rea-
son to believe that among its victims
there were as many who were opposed
to its pet ends as were in favor of the
same. But that is all dead and gone
now and until we can hear Mr.. Jones
more fully on the subject, we are in
clined to think that there Is no good
in reviving the unfortunate incident.

having two or three candidates speak
ing at the same time. They know al
so that any one candidate can speak
enough to fill a newspaper column in
quarter of an hour, and that no
newspaper in the state could afford to
be reproducing and reprinting twenty
columns of the same speeches day af-
ter day. The people are not going to
read the same thing more than once If
they can help it. Senator Tillman was
cognizant of all of these things when
he said what he did, and he is only
smiling again as he has smiled hum
dreds Of times before at the manner
in which he has set the editors to jab-
bering just as he expected. and just
as he intended.

In the article published Tuesday
comparing the auditors abstract OF
realty for 1906 with that of 1905 there
was an inadvertent misstatement which
described the aggregate returns OF
realty for the county as being only the
realty outside of incorporated towns.
Because Of this inadvertence we have
seen proper to make correction by re-
producing the entire article. 1t will be
found on the fourth page of this issue.
The mosquitoes have been busy in
the pools left by the recent rains and
millions of wiggle tails are Matching.
Some of the colonies are being raised

will put an end to the entire prospec-
tive colony of mosquitoes. Lime Is

Most of the large insurance compa-
nies are trying to cut down the ices
Of examining physicians. In fact che
fee has already been reduced except
where the subjects are applicants for

the position that the fees were already
low enough for honest, intelligent work

at the reduced rate.
Mr.. w. n. Wylie is still talking up
his proposition for bee line road be-
tween Rock Hill and Yorkville, the
said road to be 40 feet wide, graded
down to a level that will not contain
an ascent of more than three feet to
the mile, and macadamized. He was
talking to Mr.. c. c. Hughes about
such a road a few days ago and Mr..
Hughes said that If the road would run
within a mile Of his house he would
give $500 toward its construction. Mr..
Wylie says that he believes that he
could raise $4,000 by subscription for
such a purpose. 1t will be remembered
that Congressman Finley few years
ago offered to give $500 for this pro-
posed road.
Mr.. Thomas p. Moore, president OF

Wardlaw, president of the York Mill
left yesterday morning for Lake ToXa-
way to attend q meeting Of cotton mill
presidents called for the purpose OF
considering the hours of labor In cot
ton mills and the pay of operatives.
1t Is proposed to agree upon a uniform
labor schedule both as to time and
compensation. 1t is probable that all
operatives, as far as possible will be
put on piece work and the hours OF
labor will be the same in all mills. So
also probably will be the pay day in

vened this morning and it will continue

SENATOR Tillman's complaint against
the newspapers for devoting so little
space to the speeches of the candi-
dates was, in our opinion. made for
the purpose of riling the editors and
making them advertise him all the
more by their criticism. At least that
has been the effect, and the senator is
not given to producing effects he
don't want-not deliberately. We
would not have the newspapers, as
some have suggested, to ignore Sena-
tor Tillman. They can't very we'll do
anything of the kind without unfair
ness toward the senator and discredit
to themselves. If the senator is able
to stir the papers up with an accusa-
ton like this he is certainly entitled to
all the benefit that is to be derived
from the eXpedient. If the newSpa-
pers would checkmate him in matters
of this kind, their best plan is to print
what he says, and when he makes
charges like this that are so manifest
~ absurd, refrain from comment. The
people are entitled to credit for lit
tie discrimination. They know that 1t
is impossible to give twenty or more
candidates two hours each before the
same audience the same day without

IT is true that the school fund has
gotten some so-called dividends; but
those dividends have not been nearly
4qual to the rakeoffs that have gone
to the grafters, and as there seems to
be every reason to believe that the
state machine could not now be wound
up on a basis Of 25 cents on the dollar
it is evident that the money paid to
the schools was only for the purpose
of misleading the public while the
grafters got more graft.
