PENSION MONEY BEING PAID.
The Total Amount This Year is $751;
217.60.

The Total Amount This Year is $751;
217.6O.
The Confederate pension checks
for the year 1903, writes the Colum-
bia correspondent of The News and
Courier, are being sent out by the
comptroller general to the clerks OF
the court in the various counties, and
the payments to pensioners will be
made within the next few days.
The compilation of the pension lists
is a very laborious task, but 1t Is
greatly facilitated by the familiarity
of the pension clerk, Miss Kate Ma
her, with this work.
This year the lists contain the
names of 9,275 pensioners, Confed-
crate veterans and their widows
which IS an increase of 214 over last
year. The greatest increase is in the
number of widows in class G, No. 4,
there being 3,544 in this class this
year, as against 1858 last year. The
number of helpless veterans is also
increased, this being the highest
class, known as Glass A, in which
there are 1872 this year, as against 1OS
last year. These helpless veterans get
500 each per year, which at best Is
little enough to live on but is great
help no doubt to the gallant men who
are reduced to poverty
The classes of pensioners under
the present rule are as follows:
Glass A-Those who as a result OF
wounds received in the war are ply
sically helpless. or who while in such
service lost both arms or both legs or
sight, or who are disabled by paraly-
sis and are unable to make living,
and whose Income, or whose wires
income, does not exceed $50 per an
mum.
Class B-Those who while In ser,
vice lost one arm or one leg and
whose income or wifes income does
not exceed $50 per annum.
Glass c, No. Those soldiers and
sailors disabled by wounds whose in
come or whose wife's income does not
exceed $3.50 per annum.
Glass c., No. 2-Those who have
reached the age of sixty years and
whose income or whose Wife's income
does not exceed $75.
Glass G.. No. 3-Widows of those
who lost their lives while in such SER
vice, and whose income does not ex-
ceed 500 per annum.
Glass c, No. 4-Widows above the
age of sixty years whose income does
not exceed 500 per annum. These
widows may have married since the
war.
The appropriation for pensions this
year, as last year, is the sum of $3.50
600, but the total amount distributed
is $251.217.60, owing to a refund
from last year, which increases the
total amount available. The appro-
priation for artificial limbs this year
is only one thousand dollars, as
against $4,000 last year. Owing to
the total increase in the fund there is
a slight increase in the amount re-
ceived by two Of the classes, Glass c,
No. 2, and c, No. 4, which get S21.2O
each this year, an increase of 13
cents each.
The amounts paid the different
classes are as follows:
Glass A, 500; Glass B. $72; Glass c.
No. l, $4S: Glass c, No. 2, $21; Glass
c, No. 8, $4S: Glass c, No. 4, $21.2O.
The number in each class this year
and last wear is as follows:

No MORE REBATING.-The anti-re-
bate feature of the new insurance law
known as the Saye act is to be strictly
enforced. A few years ago rebating
by life insurance agents was a COM
mon practice. but the agent that
grants rebate on policy now is
likely to cause his company to forfeit
its right To do business in South Car
Olina.
Insurance Commissioner McMaSter
had Il case before him yesterday and
but for the fact that the application
for the policy in question was written
before the new law went into effect,
and the policy delivered before that
date. the company would have been
forced out of business in South Caro-
lima without further proceedings. In
this case the insured gave note. pay
able April l, for his policy. Before the
note was due the agent of the compa-
ny approached the man and offered to
scale" the note. The offer was ac-
cepted and the insured paid $47.50 on
his note and was given a receipt for
$50.
The matter was taken under advise
ment by the commissioner and he will
make ruling on it within a few days.

- Greenvile, April 81: The cotton
mills in Greenville, Anderson and
Pickens counties were not represen-
ted at the meeting held in Spartan
burg Saturday when 1t was intimated
that most of the mills in this and the
adjoining states had agreed to sus-
pend operation on July 1st. AS
matter of fact, the mills in Greenville
do not intend to suspend at any time.
For the past three months many
making fine goods and yarns have
been running on reduced time. That
is, they have decided to cut their pro-
duction % per cent and this agree
ment will continue for the next three
months. What is to be done then has
not yet been discussed. but several
manufacturers when questioned to-
day. said that they could not con-
ceive of any conditions arising that
would lead to such a drastic measure
as shutting down their plants. They
believe that with a reduction of 25
per cent in output they will be able to
run along all right until there Is q
reaction for the better. A number Of
the Greenvile mills have received cir
culars telling them of the Spartan
burg meeting and asking them to
come into the agreement. The Green
vile mills, except two small plants
closed several months ago, will de-
cline to shut down. Several of the
mills in this territory are sold ahead
and are still running full time.

quirer has been advised no arrange
ment has been made to prevent conflict
between the two meetings; but it is
probable that the address Of Miss
Nance will be delivered at about 1870
and that the Democratic convention
will be organized Immediately after
its conclusion.
- Mrs. II. X. Steele, died ut the home
Of her niece, Mrs Emmie Beard, last
Saturday morning after an Illness ex-
tending over several months. The de-

THE SPECULATIVE MARKET.

The developments in the specula-
tive market yesterday are summarized
in an Associated Press dispatch of last
night from New York as follows:
The cotton market made new low
records today and while the closing
tone was steady, last prices were 10 to
13 points net lower. Sales were eSti-
mated at 275.000 bales.
The market opened steady at un-
changed prices to an advance of l
point, which was better than due on
the cables. as a result of covering and
reports of unfavOrable weather in the
eastern belt, but almost Immediately
weakened under southern selling and
scattering liquidation. The decline
caught stop loss orders and for a time
there was urgent liquidation, SEEM
ingly for local account, as a result of
which the market ruled very nervous
and unsettled After selling at S.l4
for May and S29 for July, or about 21
points net lower, prices rallied slight
ly on covering of shorts. buying or
ders for this purpose coming from
both local and foreign sources. Pri-
vate cables reported that German
SpinnerS would reduce their working
time by 30 per cent and there were
reports that Carolina spinnerS would
shut down, while the Southern selling
here was believed by many to be
against actual cotton. Further show
ers and continued low temperatures
are looked for tonight in the eastern
belt, but the western belt forecast was
for fair and warmer weather The

= Spartanburg. April 25:

Spartanburg. April %: President
L. u. Gates of the Arkwright mills this
afternoon handed to the press the fol-
lowing statement: AT IL representa-
tive meeting of cotton manufacturers
held this day in the Chamber of Com
merce it was resolved that they will
accept no further orders for cloth at
present prices: that they will shut
down their mills indefinitely not later
than July |. 1905" In reply to many
inquiries on the part of reporters the
only answer was that the above was
all there was to be given out as to the
meeting of the cotton manufacturers,
and when the mill men were approach
ed they declared with one accord that
they had nothing to give out. 1t is un-
derStOOd that this meeting represented
the cotton cloth manufacturers of
South Carolina. Georgia and North
Carolina. those not represented by Off
cialS being represented by proxy.
Though there has been much discus
sion of a possible shutdown the i'm
preston here has been that the blow
would not fall-that in some way it
would be aVuided-but the resolution
has haC disQuieting effect in all cir
cleS. There are thirty-Seven mills in
this county and fully $l5.000.000 in
vested in them. The proposed shut
down is the result Of the demOraliZed
condition in the cotton cloth market.

TIE people of this country seem TO
be taking as little interest in the polit-
ical situation as they were in 1885,
and that was almost nothing. There
are few individuals who think 1t
very important that Mr.. Bryan De
nominated for the presidency; but
there is not much concern
about the matter. The senatorial race
is exciting practically no interest, and
as yet there is very little doing IN
county politics. OF course things VIII
warm up somewhat later on, when the
people get their spring business of
their hands.

- Monotony of proceedings in the
Federal court was broken for a brief
moment Friday when Special Officer
Merrick and Attorney c. P. Sims of
Spartanburg, came dangerously near
engaging in a personal encounter says
the Greenville News. Had it not been
for the presence of the court and Judge
Brawley'S tactful insistence that the
dignity of the court must be preserved,
the incident might have led to trouble.
1t seems that Mr. Merrick, who had
been witness with several others
against one of Mr.. Sims clients, took
exception to the lawyers insinuations,
and at the conclusion ot the latter's
argument before the jury told him so.
Mr. Sims said that he did not consid-
er that he had done anything to apol-
ogize for and refused to retract Mr..
Merrck insisted, and then Mr.. Sims
called out to the court that he, an at
tnrney. was being threatened by an
officer. Judge Brawley cautioned both
to be careful and the matter was soon
brushed over.
