Young man, live within youl

Congressman Patterson Writes
Concerning Claims Against the s
United States Government
Edge6eld Adver tiser,
Edgefeld, S. C.
My Dear SIR

My Dear SIR
Having re-
ceived a great many inquiries
relative to my claims against
the United States Govern
ment, for property captured
and destroyed by the Federal
army during the Civil War,
j take this means to explain
briefly the status of such.
claims.
A party whose property
was taken by some official
authority for the use Of the
government is entitled to.
compensation for the same.
A party whose property was
occupied and used, and by
such occupancy damaged, is
entitled to compensation for
the use and occupation there
of and for any damage to the
same, but in neither of these
cases can the party recover
anything without showing
that at the time he was loyal
to the United States govern
ment; nor can he recover
anything for property wan
tonly destroyed or damaged
by United States soldiers.
Property that was abandoned
and seized by the u. S. gov
ernment and sold and thepro-
ceeds turned into the U. IS.
treasury, gives the owner OF
it a claim for the money so
turned into the treasury, or
did so before the law provi-
ding for a recovery in such
cases was barred BY the stat
ute of limitations; and what
is known as the Cooper bill
is simply to revive and ex-
tend that right for period of
two years after the bill be-
comes law, and it seems to
be the opinion that it will be-
come a law at this season.
| introduced a bill on all
fours with the Cooper bill
and have done considerable
work in -endeavoring to Gre
ate a sentiment in its favor.
Under all the provisions,
the claimant is required to
prosecute his suit in the court
of claims. Unless the claim
comes under one of these pro-
visions, there can be no re-
covery.
Claims for churches, lodges
and educational or eleemosy-
nary institutions used by
Federal troops or destroyed
by them, are valid claims, and
given more favorable con-
sideration than the others.

THE NAVAL STORES FIGHT.

The naval stores industry of Geor-
gia was never at so low an ebb in pro-
fits and prospects as now. The effort
to lift 1t out of the slough has adj
vanced the price Of spirits by several
cents per GALLON, md, IL IS reasonably
safe to assume that as the organization
gets more actively to work 'the@ad-
vance will be larger. Sosfar as the
general public is concerned, what
mostly and concreteiy interests 1t is
the market price of the products.
II they are good the. money is rapidly
distributed among them for labor and
supplies. II prices afe' Zoo low the
products are held from the market
by borrowing money at 1.-THE banks
the goods are held in storage and the
money for general circulation and the
stimulation Of business is not forth
coming.
Abstractly and perhaps in fact the
public does not care much about the
scuffles of the gigantic organizations
that are fighting over the business
The people want free market for
the goods and their prompt sale Tor
cash. For this reason they sympa-
thize with the new organization, COM
posed of producers, which is trying to
force the so-called trust to offer
higher prices and buy more stuff. The
business community is manifesting its
sympathy in practical way by tar ,
Ing stock in the holding company,
which is essential to the success Of
the movement for higher prices.

CONFIDENCE.

The usual assurances Of an i'm
mediate revival OF industry and the
revisitation of good times are being
systematically issued to the country.
This is in pursuance of the impress
sion sought to be conveyed that all
the country lacks is confidence
which is not to be accepted without
question. Confidence must be based
ON something substantial. A man
may. be confident he will not lack a
meal or a bed tomorrow. but to be
justified by the event that confidence
must be based upon money in his
pocket.
For some months past we have
been. bopbarded with similar assur-
ances, backed by facts and figures
proving Them 1t Will strike the nat
urally incredulous cuss that if the as
surkndes of July had been sound. as
claimed, there would have been no
necessity for the assurances of Au-
gust, and that if those of August had
been good there would have been no
need of the still more roseate prophe-
cies of September. And so on to this
date There Isl however no occa-
sion Tor gloom. The return towards
prosperity has been slow and natural,
and the stimulative fertilizers of the
Imagination have not struck at the
roots of the growth. Things are all
is, sufficiently right, but
when promises are that rainbows will
be converted into permanent arches
Of gold they are too optimistic for the |
belief and credence of the common
herd, Saw wood is the best advice
that can be given to the people these
days. Affairs will improve. but few
dreams will De realized and few
visions become the solid stuff. To get
the solid stuff you must build solid.
and this is as true of a man as of
nation. Stick to your work and let
dreams and visions disturb or excite
you not the least.

TARIFF REVISION.

In connection with his call Cor A
meeting of the committee on wavs
and means and the hearing before Il
a few days hence, Chairman PAYNE
says there win be no effort made 10
prepare and push a bill through the
house at the coming short session
.-e gives as reason that the senate
would not have time to act upon II
and the work .of the house would
nave to be done all over at a special
session, which he seems to take for
granted will be called to handle the
tariff revision topic and get 1t out of
the way, He thinks it will be called
to meet about March Is, and would
be able to finish Its business by the
middle of july.
The outcome of the session will be
settled before. 1t is called. The lead
ers will agree upon what is to be
done, and the work of the session will
be confined to drilling the house and
senate into agreement with it. That
there will be any revision of the
tariff that win afford real relief to
the sufferers from it's inequalities is
very doubtful, and again it is to be
questioned whether the country wants
much change. 1t is true both par
ties promised some change and reduc4
ton, but not very definitely, and 1t
win be found that the purpose of the
republicans in making the promise
was to pacify certain elements ofsthe
voters until after The election .Hav-
ing succeeded In 9nieting the belig-
erents and keeping them in the ranks.
the reduction ofsthe tariff will be
tinkered with and postponed in fact,
though there may be some pretense
of changing sundFy of the schedules.
