Columbia, March 6.-The Record
says at 4 o'clock Monday afternoon
the board of directors Of the Confed-
crate home will meet at the Pal
metto bank to formulate plans for
the opening of the home. An ap-
preparation of $4,000 was made by
the legislature for the home, but
$4,000 was asked for. The $4,000
difference was for the purpose OF
buying suitable furniture and since
this amount was not given, the boarG
at its meeting Monday will be COM
PEELED to outline some plans for the
raising of this amount. 1t may be
possible that the Daughters OF the
Confederacy will lend aid by giving
entertainments from time to time.
Another matter the board will con-
slider, is what they will require Of
the county pension board before the
veterans may be admitted, as those
who have comfortable homes may pre-
fer to remain at their own fresides.
The home is beautiful building.

the grounds of the State hospital for
the insane. It contains thirty rooms
and is surrounded by ten acres OF
land. The home will grow its OVID
vegeta bles and raise forage crops,
the inmates doing such work as
they may desire, or if they prefer,
they may devote their time to read
ing and writing, or in such manner
as they wish.

ry as commander-in-chief Of the At
lantic feet as announced at the navy

ment Of naval officer Of this rank.
Rear Admiral Schroeder, though

arian.
1t has been many years since
South Carolina has ever had rear

and she should feel proud of her
new representative.

Value Of Irrigation.

If it is true that the growing OF
two blades OF grass where but one
grew formerly IS a benefit to man
kind, it is an equal benefit to have
one blade grown where none before
grew 1t is this which irrigation
does in large sections Of our land
where the soil, naturally fertile, has
remained barren waste because Of
the absence Of moisture The ir-
rigation ditches carrying we'll nigh
unlimited supply Of water from the
mountains are retaining and max
ing fruitful vast areas of land that
are surely becoming the abode OF
many thousands Of Industrious and
prosperous people. When irrigation
was first proposed it was opposed b.
many as q useless expenditure OF
money. but these croakers are nov
convinced that they were wrong.

KILLED WHOLE FAMILY.
For Which Murderer Only Gets Life
Sentence.

Decatur. Ala, March 1.-The
jury in the case Of Bob Clements,
for the murder of the Edmondson
family of five members tonight
found the prisoner gdiiry of murder
in the first degree and fixed his SEN
tence at life Imprisonment.
Clements was charged with the
murder of Tom Edmondson and Ed
r1ondson' S wife, mother and two chill
dren, last November, near Woodland
mills, in this county. After the fam
lily had been murdered, their bodies
were placed in the barn and the fol-
lowing night the barn was set on fire.
only few bones remaining to tell of
the gruesome tragedy.
Clements had been in the employ
of Edmondson and it was brought
ont that Edmondson came home, and
found Clements talking to Mrs. Ed
mondson, and the supposition is that
Edmondson threatened his life, and
that Clements killed him and then
killed other members of the family
to hide the crime.
