Washington, June IA monu-
ment of marble or granite, to cost
about $500, is to be erected by
the United States Government in the
Confederate section OF the Firms
Point national cemetery at Salem,
n. j., to mark the resting place Of
2,460 officers and men of the Con-
federate army and navy. who died
as prisoners Of war at Fort Della

Bids for the monument will be
opened June 21 by Col. Oates, COM
missioner for the marking of the
graves Of Confederates in Northern
cemeteries. The adoption of a mon
ument for the purpose is due to the
fact that it has been found impossi-
BILE, because Of imperfect records, to
place headStOneS at each individual
grave, as contemplated by the act of
Congress.
Commissioner Oates has arranged
also to place wrought iron fences
around Camp Chase, the Confederate
cemetery near Columbus, Ohio, and
around the Confederate cemetery at

Rock Hill, June 11.-Capt. w. l..
Roddey, one of Rock Hills most
prominent and wealthiestt citizens.
died about $50 last night, after an
illness Of ten days or two weeks from
an attack of acute Indigestion.
VIM. Lyle Roddey was born in
York county August 10, 1884, the
son of John and Mary G.. Wylie Rod
dey, Of sterling Scotch-Irish parent
age. He was brought up on the
farm, and had received common
schc~, education, when at 16 years
of age he entered the employ Of Mof-
fat & Co., at Chester, to engage in
the mercantile business.
In 1851 he became a member of
the firm of Wylie, Moffatt & Co., but
left the business to enlist as a MEM
Der Of Company II, oath South Caro-
lima Regiment. Entering as a lieu
tenant he was soon promoted to a

ed large amount of real estate,
both city and country.
Capt. Roddey had always been a
firm believer in and liberal supporter
of educational enterprises. His
charities were extensive, and we'll
chosen, and it Is hard to estimate
the good that he did with his large
resources.
Capt. Roddey was lifelong men,
ber and an elder in the Associate

which he was a most liberal support
er. In 1860 he was married to Miss

MRS. SAGE GIVES BIG SUMS.

New York, June 12.-It became

years Mrs. Russell Sage has spent
more than $25,0O0,OOO for public

cerning a rumor that the widow of
the financier contemplated endowing
great insurance for American
working men. But with funds

be far-reaching. and it is regarded
as not at all improbable that Mrs.

cighty-seven years old. Let us unfold
q few pages and see what the news
and events were in those days. These
old papers belong to w. NJ. Turner,
of Seneca.
The issue Of December 4th, 1922,
announces that Rev. James DOuthit
married Col. Joseph Grisham to Miss
Mary, daughter of William Steele, on
the third day OF that month.
Thc death Of Mrs. Margaret Hamil-
ton, wife of Major Andrew Hamilton,
is announced as having occurred on
the 14th day Of December, 1922.
John Miller, Sr., was the editor and
proprietor of the Pendleton Messen-
ger in those days and years.
Charles Tucker is announced as a
candidate for Register Of Mesne Con-
Veyance.
E. B. Benson was sheriff Of Pendle-
ton District; J. V. Shanklin was the
Commissioner in Equity; John T..
Lewis was Clerk of the Court.
Ine lton. Thos. Bennett was Cover
nor Of South Carolina, and Beaufort
II. Watts was the Secretary Of State.
The terms of subscription to the
Messenger were $500 cash and SO. 20
on a credit a year. The pages are
small, and the Messenger had the run
of custom for many broad miles.
William Cape, with two OF his own
children, and Elizabeth A. King, a
child also, attempted to cross Chauga

his arms, and the little girl clung to
his back. In the endcavor to cross
all four fell into the raging Chauga.
The little boys were drowned. The

LANAHAN BOOKS REVELATIONS
In Barrel of Whisk.y Only Small
Amount of Pure Spirits.

Columbia, June 11.-Perhaps the
most startling revelation made yet
before the dispensary winding up
commission, occurred this afternoon
when Col. Fielder, for the State, pro-
duced certain statements obtained
from the Lanahan books which set
forth that in a barrel Of whiskey
there was only small amount of
pure whiskey and the rest was a COM
0ination of coloring matter and a
substance called "intensac."
This evidence was offered to en-
phasize the test offered on Wednes-
day afternoon.
When the various entries had been
read Col. Fielder announced that the
States case was closed. The evil
dence produced by Col. Fielder was
entirely unexpected and was obtain
ed entirely from the books brought
here by the Lanahan Company.
An interesting side issue was the
showing made from the books that
the South Carolina dispensary was
not the only loser by the transaction
indicated in the books. 1t was also
brought out that commissions were
paid to buyers Of Alabama and Geor-
gia dispensaries during the same
years that sales were made in this
State. There was no concealment of
the fact in the books that money was
paid to a buyer in Ozark, Ala.
Col. Fielder stated to the commits
ahan Company had not been produc-
ed, but that he would show by the
books that they did bring that the
State had been defrauded.

Hot Onions and Pneumonia,
(LOndOn Tit-BitS. }


Hot onions, according to a French
physician, are said to be sure cure
for pneumonia. The remedy IS as
follows: Take six or ten onions, ac-
cording to size, and chop fine; put
in large pan over fire; then add
the same quantity of rye meal and
vinegar enough to make thick
paste. In the meantime stir 1t thor
oughly, letting 1t simmer for five or
ten minutes. Then put in cotton
bag large enough to cover the lungs,
and apply to chest as hot as patient
can bear. In about ten minutes ap-
ply another, and thus continue by
reheating the poultices, and in a few
minutes the patient will be out of
danger. This simple remedy has
never failed to cure this too often
fatal malady. Usually three or four
applications will be sufficient.
