the appropriation of money for this
purpose. The idea underlying our
pension laws for this state is not to
pension every deserving Confederate
soldier, because that would include
every one of them, but to assist those
who we're in actual want so as to
keep them frAm The necessity Of be-
coming inmates Of the county home.
That idea has been stretched, how
ever and we arc inclined to believe
that in many counties the boards
stretch the intent Of the law with the
idea that the money has been appro-
priatcd and they had just as well get
as much of it in their county as pos
Sible. We still believe that a uniform
tax was levied on each county for the
purpose of paying pensioners and the
distribution was left to the officers
Of each county, that the money raised
would do great deal more good.

The News and Courier pays tho
following tribute to our Congress
man: ",rhe Hon. Asbury Il. Lever
member of Congress-. who spoke tc
the Chester Cotton Farmers Asso-
citation Saturday, would have rccciv-
ed more applause from the. township
political leaders in his audience, we
suppose, if he had devoted more of
his address to the denunciation OF all
street manipulatorS ana to Il pietur-
esque portHya of farmers woes,
but he went out of his way to speak
after the manner Of fevcl-hcaded
business man, pointing out that the
nearest way to prosperity is for The
farmers to diversity, 70 produce more
Of the commodities that they now
import and to abandon the folly of
permitting themselves to be absorbed
in cotton planting alone. From the
brief summary Of Mr.. Levers adj
dress sent to The News and Courier
we must infer that il WAS full of
practical and valuable suggestion and
free of the flat, stale ana Improbable
complainingS that constitute the stock
in trade of most Congressman who
speak to farmers. II is distinctly re-
frcShing TO observe Il Congressman
in such a departure from the con-
vcntional haran%uc. Right YOU are.
Mr.. Editor, and a cleaner. better man
is not to be found in Conurcss.-Or-
angcburg Patriot.
The Herald and News takes pleas
IRE inaddin" its endorsement to the
above in regard to Congressman Lev
er. Mr.. Lever while Lexington man
is not far across from the Newberry
line and has many friends in New
berry, who have watched his course
with interest and are gratifcd at the
high stand that he has taken as a
member of congress. He spent Scv-
cral years in Ncwhcrry as 4 student
Of Ncwhcrry college. from which in
stltutlnn he was graduated.

THE PENSIONS.

We print in another column the
distribution of the confederate pen
sion fund. The total amount appro-
priatcd by the last legislature is $25.-
600 larger than has ever been ap-
proprlatrd, and of course the amount
to each county is proportionatrIy lar
ger. The number of pensioners
seems to increase as we get away
from the scenes Of lSGl-63, and up
to a certain time this is but natural.
Newbcrry receives this year nearly
$l 900 more than she has ever unttc.
heretofore. Spartanburg county gets
about five times as much as New
berry, and it is said by Confederate
soldiers, who are in position to know,
that the two counties sent about the
same number of men 10 the Confcd-
crate army. The increase in Spar,
tanburg is explained by the fact that
n great many cotton mills have bee,
built in that county and Confedcr.
ate soldiers have moved into these
mill districts from N. Carolina anG
other counties Of this state, thus
making their proportion of pension
ers so much larger than Ncwbc,Ty
or course in few years the number
OF pensioners will gradually decrease
from year to year, but we have Otter
doubted If the $250,000, which i.
now spent for this purpose, is doing
as much real good as did the $50,

Scandal Is Out;
Wrecked Auto.
Shocks Town

Hot and sizzling through the post
office from an amateur country CORE
spondent last night came a heart-throb-
bling. nerve-thrilling story of mystery.
It is too good to keep. 1t is offered
herewith in all its pristine vigor and
vividness:
ROCKVILLE. Nd, Dec 1.-THE story
Of an auto wreck of more than ordinary
interest was related here this morning
by Motorman Henry Vogt and passen-
gers on an electric car running from
Washington to this place on Thursday
afternoon last
A large automobile. occupied by a
man and woman handsomely bedecked.
was whirling along at terrific speed.
when. directly opposite Friendship, the
famous country place Of John r. Nc

aside 10 avoid collision. struck a large
water plug, capsized and collapsed. send
ing the occupants. tumbling and sliding,
twenty yards or moro down the pike.
A trolley car drew near and stopped
Just as the victims OF the wreck were
struggling to their feet. and the train
crew and some Of the passengers went
to their assistance. They were IN a
woeful plight, covered with mud, their
faces SCARED and bleeding. their gar
ments tattered. and frightened out OF
their wits.
Gracious heavens" exclaimed the
disfg1Ired female, as she covered her
bleeding face with both hands. How
on earth can I ever explain to my hus-
band?" Q
Take the car" said a sympathetic
passenger. and go to the nearest hos
pital or drug store"
Never" screamed the stricken wom-
an. Send for carriage, for mercy g
sake. and take me away from this aw-
ful place"
Send for a doctor" suggested an
other passenger
Not on your life," growled the IN
happy man in the case, with an oath.
There is enough h here already
Then the conductor pulled the bell
cord and the trolley car moved on. leav-
ing the victims OF the direful wreck IN
the middle OF the road, the man deliv-
ering himself of language Of the blue
streak variety and the woman in hys-
terics. inquiring mournfully, over and
over again. How can I ever explain
this awful thing 10 my husband%'
Who the people were. nobody that
saw them knew. That they were
couple OF Washington high-hyers, no
body that saw them doubted. Could
their names be furnished along with
this story, a social sensation would
probably result. perhaps with n sequel
in the shape of proceedings for divorce
IN the courts of Washington.

FIGHT ON PROMOTIONS
WANING IN SENATE

Talk Of opposition IN the Senate to the
confirmation OF army officers promotes
by the President has largely died out.
At the outset Of the session a great deal
was heard to the effect that the Senate
would study a long while before con
hrming some OF the Presidents army
appointments, especially in those cases
wherein the President had made promo
tons by selection and had Jumped" Of
hcers over the heads Of others.
Indications are, however, that the
President will be allowed to have his
way with little opposition. Experience
has shown the difficulty of standing in
the way OF the White House on mat

tor, and his wife, known professionally
as DIR. Helene Andree, have succeeded
IN having Frank Hargett, a wcll-known
young man Of Frederick, Nd. convicted

For years the Downlngs made TIER
home near Bladensourg. where tacy

years ago they bought a country place
near Frederick. Shortly after moving

When Mr.. and Mrs. Downing went
on the road they left their home, which
contained many valuable accessories, in
the care Of HarEett and later, deciding
To give up the place they had occupied
Mr.. Downing wrote Harding asking him
10 get another house for them and at
tend TO moving their things. Hargett
did this but when the Downings re-
turned 70 Frederick they discovered that
a number of their things were missing
Many OF the missing things belonged to
Mrs. Downing.
Hargett was asked about these things
and denied any knowledge OF them, but
subsequently returned some Of the ar
ticles. When pressed further about those
which were still missing Hargett in
umated that certain other people might
have stolen them.
Mr.. and Mrs Downing finally agreed
20 put the case in the hands of the
police. 4 search warrant was obtained,
and when Mr.. Downing visited Har-
gets room in a boarding house in COM
pany with the sheriff of the county the
missing things were found.
Letters From Hargett.
While on the road Mr.. Downing had
received a number of letters from Har-
Rett in which he severely criticised GER
tain business men Of Frederick. in one
of them Hargett said:
They are perfect devils on wheels.
But 1 am standing guard over your
things with a club"
Mrs. Downing attracted much atten-
ton when she took the witness stand.
She wore a lavender gown and large
plumed hat After Identifying a num-

Downing was asked If she could recall
certain ash tray which had been lost.
Yes she said the design was g.

added.
This caused considerable amusement
in the courtroom and the court said:

Another laugh followed, and Mrs
Downing. turning to the court, saH:

of perjury.
The police did not know he had gone
until they visited his lodgings with the

quenly as T. c. bruce. a small Lon

Duke grew tired OF posing as bruce and
employed Caldwell TO engineer a mock
funeral for him.
Asserted He Loaded Coffin.
The New Yorker asserted that he put
200 pounds OF lead in q coffin. had II
buried, and from that time forth the
Duke was the Duke and no one else.
His testimony naturally seemed valu-
able to q. II. Druce, the T. c. Druce's
grandson who was trying to prove that
he, as the most direct male heir. was
entitled 10 the Portland title and
estates.
Caldwell testified in a perjury prose-
cution begun against Herbert bruce, the
elder Druce's son by a second marriage,
who said he saw his father in his coffin.
and consequently knew he could not

Call Stewart Story False.
It developed on cross-examination
that Caldwell once made an alleged
false affidavit that the late A. T. Stew
arts body was stolen from his coffin.
and the widow was made to pay heavily

It was in closing its perjury case
against Herbert Druce that the prose-
cutiOn declared yesterday that Il placed
no reliance on CaldwelTs testimony

he was going TO New York for more
