WIFE SAVES HE is ANARCHIST.
Brings Grave Charges Against the
Man Who is Accused of Murder.

Man Who is Accused of Murder.
In statement by Mrs. Bessie
Boylston, wife of Ad Boylston, who
is charged with the foul assassina-
ton of Cleveland Tanning, her broth
er, at Aiken, S. c., published in
paper Of that town, Mrs. Boylston
charges him with attempting to poi
son her at one time.
She states that at one time Boyl-
ston soaked box of matches in some
water and gave her the water to
drink. She drank the water and
was made very sick but she finally
recovered.
Leading up to the time previous
to the killing, Mrs. Boylston says
that she was not forced to remain
away from her husband, as he had
asserted, but that her people told
her to live with him if she wanted to,
but she refused to do so, because
of the fact that he had committed
several crimes, among which were
stealing, arson, etc., and having
served a term on the changing.
She says that her fathers resi-
dence was burned between the hours
of and in the morning and that
he was not at home between those
hours, and that she had good rea-
sons to believe that her husband COM
mitted the crime, and also says that
he burned Mr. Kennedy's barn and
stables.
At one time she says he came to
her fathers house after she had
refused to live with him and attempt
ed to drag her out of the house with
him, but that her sister saved her
from him. She says that she and
her people have not recognized Boyl-
ston in six years-since he served
term on the chaingang.

WHO ARE SONS OF VETERANS?
Answers Query as to Who Is Eligible
for Membership.

An extra eHOrC Will DC ulGQe luIs
year to increase the membership OF
the Sons of Confederate Veterans.
There have been quite good many
young men who have signified their
willingness to join the organization,
but failed to qualify.
There has been more or less in
quiry as to what constitutes eligl-
bility to mem bership, and few days
ago the question was referred to
George Bell Zimmerman, command
/ ing the South Carolina division Of the
U. S. C. V. In response to this in
quiry Mr.. Zimmerman writes The
State as follows:
Mr.. Timmcrman'S Definition.
Some days ago | received the fol-
lowing communications:
"'Please answer through the press
what constitutes eligibility for men,
bership in the Sons of Confederate
Veterans.
lone Who Is Interested
"You will observe that name of
the party making the request is un-
known. I shall nevertheless under
take to answer the inquiry of One
Who Is Interested and trust that
you will be kind enough to publish
the answer for the benefit of all who
may be interested.
Article 4, section l. Of the con-
stitution Of the United Sons of Con-
fcderate Veterans says: All male
descendants of those who served
in the Confederate army or navy to
the end of the war, or who died in
prison or while in actual service, or
who were killed in battle, or who were
| honorably retired or discharged, shall
he eligible for membership in the
camps of this confederation, provid-
ed no member under 16 years OF age
shall have the right to vote. Pro
vided no member shall be admitted
under II years of age The consti-
! tuition of the South Carolina division
expresses the same thing with a
slight variation in language.
while the above language seems
perfectly clear, there have been some
who inaccurately thought they were
eligible for membership upon the rec
ord Of an uncle. This is not true
There have been others who mac
curately thought they could only join
if their father had been in the war,
AS a matter of fact a person may
become a member upon the record
of his fathers father or his mother S
father.
ITO restate it, person can MOI
become a member upon the record OF
an uncle, but he may become one
upon the record of his father, grand.
father, or great grandfather Oh
course it must be understood that The
ancestors record must meet the
requirements of the constitution as
above quoted.
Il ask for the publication of this
article with the earnest hope that il
may be of interest and benefit tC
some one.

Blindness in Failing to Realize Some
of Their Opportunities.

of Their Opportunities.
Recently Prof. John NJ. Coulter de-
livered an address at the conference
for education in the South. He spoke
on the Improvement of rural condi-
tons, and said some things that were
not relished. The Charleston News
and Courier. commenting on the
statements, makes some Of its own
on the general subject of the blind

their opportunities. 1t cities Kansas

eggs, and yet South Carolina buying
chickens in Kansas" 1t continues:
Food products rise in price from
day to day, and will continue TO rise
because increase in the production of
foodstuffs is not in proportion to the
increase of population in any rapid
ly growing country, where cities and
towns, with their manufacturing peo-
pies. are constantly expanding, but
the farmers of South Carolina neg
lect a region not less adapted to pro-
ducing foodstuffs than any other in
the world. We have the soil and the
rainfall for forage crops in abundance
but we import beef; we have grass
on thousand hills and in meadows
for flocks of sheep-hut inherited ha-
bit has converted the luxury OF a
sheep-killing dog into a necessary
life: we have Il land equal to France

crave beverages to drink whiskey and

that because the perfect apples of

peaches OF California will not grow

WAN IS CENSUS JOBS
HoRDEs OF APPLICATIONS FOR
CENSUS SUPERVISORS
And Enumerators Are Botherins Con-
sressmen-Nlany Democrats Seek
to Get on Pay Roll.

to Get on Pay Roll.
Members of Congress from South
Carolina, and elsewhere, are having
the very life dogged out OF them III
consequence of the hordes of appli-
cants for census supervisors and
enumerators.
Months ago, when the census bill
was first taken up for discussion by
Congress, prospective applicants all
over the country thought it a good
time to have their names annexed TO
the government pay roll. Some OF
them lost little time in acqualntlns
their respective Congressman with
this fact, and the result is that some
of the members are at their wit
ends to know how to stave off more
applicants.
The Democrats throughout the
country have been told that they are
to have fair consideration in the Sc
lection of supervisors, and that II a
certain district is represented in
Congress by Republican super
visor of faith will be appointed, and
Just the opposite if the district hap
pens to be represented by Demo
crat. That does not seem to be a
good plan, however, for not fe"
Senators have been asking whether
or not they are to be eliminated IN
the selection of these officials. Ap-
parently it is one time when the
members of the lower house have II
their way.
Representative Livingston, ol
Georgia, the ranking Democrat on
the House appropriating committee
Friday stated that if the Democrats
get anything good from the distiio"'
ticn of offices in the compiling of the
next census they must fight for it
before the President if they were in
earnest in wanting these places, be-
cause that would probably be the
only way they could land them.
Another Southern Congressman
Adamson, of Georgia, said that nc
didn't think the Democrats Would
have much of a show; in fact that II
would be no more reasonable to eX'
pect consideration of the Preslden'
in this matter than it would be tc
ask him to ignore Republicans and
appoint Democrats for other Offices
Supervisors will receive $l,3ol
straight salary, and, in addition, vii
be paid at the rate of 81 for eacf
one thousand of population in thell
respective districts. The work VII
not cover very long period OF time
and as the actual labor of counting
the people and securing other data
will devolve upon the enumerators
it will be a comparatively easy task
for the supervisors. The worst wor
ried men now are the congressman
who are trying to satisfy their hun
cry constituents.
