circuit, the present stenographer
FF Covington being being a resi-
dent of Marion which is in the
new 10Th circuit. This 18th circuit
is compocd Of the counties Of
Chesterfield, Darlington and Marl-
boro and the judge is his Honor
Judge Watts, Of Chcraw.
When it became known that the
circuit was changed and that the
position of court stcnographcr was
vacant Il young man, Il resident of
this city and who is in every way
qualified to fill the position, filed
his application with Judge Watts,
1t is said that the judge replied to
his letter of application by inform.
ing him that he would not appoint
anyone who was not a resident Of
Chcraw to the position Of Court
Stcnographcr.
Now there is no kick coming be-,
cause the Bcnncttsvillc applica@
did not get the position. In spite
of the fact hat he is in every way
qualified for the position the mat
ter of appointing the court stem
%ographer is the Judges business
and he can appoint whatsoever he
plcascs. But there has been some
comment here on the fact that the
Judge would not appoint anyone
to the position except a resident
Of Cheraw. Cheraw is Judge
Watts home and that is their gain
but it was presumed that anybody
in the district stood as equally a
good chance for the position as a
resident of Cheraw. If the fact
that the court stenographer must
be a resident Of the same place as
the presiding judge becomes gen
cral then it is likely that the matI>
ter Of changes in office will be in
auguratcd by the people because
every county composing the cir
cult has as equal a right to posi-
tions in the circuit as the county
in which the Judge happens to be
living.

special law and applicable to cor
tain portions Of the state only and
that this abridgcs the privileges
and rights Of the citizens Of those
counties in which the law is opcr-
ativc.
The plaintiffs will contend that
the law is Il general law and that
the exemptions Of certain counties
is II special law.
Anyway the case will now 90 to
tic circuit court and possibly to
the state supreme court for final
settlement.

REBUILDING COMMENCED
Modern Stores Going up or Dis
trict which was Burned.

Preparation, for rebuilding Of the
business district which was burn
cd by the great fire SIX weeks ago
last Friday arc going on now. In
fact the actual work of rebuilding
has commenced and in a few short
months the fire will only be n

it arc concerned.
G. b. Grassland has purchased
the corner lot from A. j.. Mathc-
son and will erect a handsome
three story building on the spot.
This stand was formerly occu-
pied by the Marlboro Drug Com
pany and is an admirable location.
The first floor will be used by
f.. H.. Hamilton for his grocery
store. The second story will be
fitted up for Offices and rented to
professional men and whoever else
may want Offices. The third story
will be built for secret orders
probably the Knights of Pythias.
The next lot adjoining this on
Darlington street is owned by S.
j. Pearson and he has already let
the contracts and has begun the
work OF rebuilding a handsome
two story structure. Pcarson's
icwclry store will occupy The first
floor while the second will be fixed
up for Offices.
Sol Brown Tho Furniture
man" has purcascd the next lot
from G. f., Exum and is to also
have a two story building erected.
He will have his furniture store
on the first floor while the second
will be fixed up for the Bcnnctts-
vile Commercial Club.
G.. f.. Exum will also rebuild on
his lot which is Just below this but
has not yet quite decided on the
plans.

Good Work Done.

The School Improvement Asso-
citation of Marlboro county met in
the court house on Saturday last,
with a goodly number Of teachers
present. The ladies were largely
in the majority, there being only
three men in sight.
No regular program had been
arranged, but some time was spent
in hearing reports from local asso-
Citations. Quite Il number Of 9th
l. made interesting little talks in
response to tho inquiry as to what
is being done toward Improvement
in their respective schools. MANY
of these talks were very encourage
ing and served to remind all of the
great number of little things that
can be done to make a school room
neat and attractive.
Miss Decs then read her report
as delegate to the meeting Of the
State Association in Columbia.
After hearing her account Of this

THE SOLDIERS GRAVES
To Be Marked by the United
States Government

artmcnt to furnish hcadstoncs free
of charge laid down at tho nearest
freight depot for the unmarked
graves of all soldiers who had
fought in any war for the United
States.
in accordance with this Act Of
Congress the wal Department is
ready to send hcadstoncs upon re.
quest to any one who will locate
the graves and prove the services
Of soldiers whether they fought in
the Revolution, war Of 1912, Mex
lean war, skirmishcs with Indians
or in any way bore arms in dc
Tense Of the United States. The
Daughters Of the American Rcvol-
ution in this state have taken up
the work of trying to find n d
mark forgotten and nameless
graves of Revolutionary soldiers.
BY rescuing these names from OBJ
livion and rcviving memories and
traditions of these brave men we
pay them tardy honors which arc
we'll deserved.
The circular of information is
sued by the War Department states
that upon application to the
Quartermaster General. u. S. Ar
my, hcadstoncs will be furnished
for unmarked graves Of soldiers,
sailors and marines who served in
the State militia or the Army or
Navy of the United States during
any a whether regular or vol
untccr, and whether they died in
the service OF since their muster
out or discharge thcrcfrom. These
headstoncs are of best American
white marble, 80 inches long, II
wide and 4 inches thick, the top
slightly rounded and the portion
Of the stone which will be above
ground when set in sand rubbed;
each hcadstonc is inscribed with
the name, rank Gf above privatc),
company and state regiment or
other organization to which the
deceased belonged, cut in relief
within a sunkcn shield. No devia-
ton a be made from these spcci-
fications which are prescribed by
the Secretary of War and the law
does not provide for any cxpcndi-
ture for fences or for any purpose
except the headstonc as above des-
cribed; neithcris it lawful to make
any money allowance in place of
furnishing n hcadstone. Head
stones will be shipped, freight pre-
paid by the Government, only to
the nearest railroad station or
steamboat landing; they will not
be delivered to street addresses or
to the cemetery"
Every d.. A. r.. Chapter n
South Carolina should be earnest
~ and actively interested in this
noble and praisc-worthy work.
3 titles and skirmishcs were fought
all over the state from the noun
tains to the scaboard; the British
and Tories invaded all portions Of
the country and almost every able
bodied man and youth had to Join
the militia in defense of home and
families; hence there are thousands
Of graves Of Revolutionary soldiers
within our borders. 1t will re-
quire much time, patience and
careful investigation to find these
graves and obtain all the necessary
information, therefore Chapters
should begin work at once. Mott
G should be inserted in the lead
ing papers of each county calling
attention to this liberality Of the
Government and asking assistance
from everyone who can give in
formation. Country churchyards
and plantation burying grounds
must be examined; and all tradi.
tons thoroughly siftcd for the

1t is almost impossible to get in
formation from the South Carolina
state records; they have never
been indcxcd and tho officials in
charge Of them 7 not yet ready
to furnish any data. Some time
ago I''Ihc State" published lists Of
Revolutionary soldiers, which were
copied from the records through
the courtesy Of Secretary Of state
CAN'T. These lists were arrnng-
cd alphabetically but unfortunate
~ their publication ceased with
the lcttcr &. These lists will be
of aid in verifying the services Of
soldiers whose names begin with
tho first letters of the alphabet.
A true copy Of the roll of Sum
tors Brigade was furnished by
Mr.J. II. Can't, while secretary
of State, to the fourth report Of
the National ID. A. II. published
by the Smithsonian institute. This
contains the names Of hundreds
of soldiers and will be Of great u.s.
sistance.
The Commissioner Of pensions
in the Department Of the Interior
at Washington will reply very
promptly and fully to letters en-
curing for the records Of soldiers.
1t is better to- write a separate
letters for each soldier.
The War Department will reply
to letters from Chapter Regents
signed officially, giving the names
Of the Chapters.
After the services of the soldier
have been proved, then write to
the Quartcrmastcr General, u. S.
Army and ask forarp i i on
blanks for heudstoncs for soldiers
graves. Fill out the blanks exact
" according to directions and re-
turn to the Quartcrmastcr General.
If it meets with his appreciation
then u card will be returned saying
that the application will be filled
in its regular order. Requests
are received for thousands of head
stones annually and considerable
time is required to accurately list
the names for the printer, make
proper records thereof, have the
hcadstones cut, and lettered under
contract as required by law and
ship them by freight to places dis
trlhuted all over the United States,
where they arc transferred to ap-
plicants.l 1t is impracticablc there
fore for the Department to fix any
definite date when those hcadstones
will reach the points of dclivcry;
but applicants are assured that the
hcadstoncs requested by them will
be supplied in every proper case
and at the earliest possible date"
Experience has shown that it is
generally twelve months before a
stone is shipped, SO G chapter
should begin work Immediately MS

Washington, Dec. 17.-The name
of one of the bravest Officers who
ever strode the deck OF man of war.
Rear Admiral William Hemsley EN-
ory, was today erased from the rolls
of the United States navy. The ad-
miral commanded the second squad
ron and the third division of the At
lantic fleet during its trip across the
Pacific, and hauled down his flag
when the fleet was in Chinese waters,
preliminary to his retirement today

naval officers. Rear Admiral Emory
was born in this city December II,
1916. He graduated from the Annap-

Atlantic fleet, have arrived at the
yard and been put aboard the supply
ship Celtic, on which Santa Claus Will
make his voyage to greet the men OF
the fleet. He will be little late in
his arrival. but the number of good
things he will take along will more
than compensate for the delay.

Celtic. there will be sufficient food
for the homeward voyage of the fleet.
In addition to delicacies to tickle
Jacks palate at his belated Christ
mas feast, there will be the following

100000 pickles.
10000 cans of tomatoes.
