South Carolinians in the Con-
federate Service.

Instead of taking up the next
brigade of the series, / wish to
place here a slight tribute to the
man in the ranks, and feel sure it
will meet with the hearty approval
of our Chapter, as at our coming
Memorial exercises we will spread
our table, not alone for the officer,
but for his subordinate in lank, as
we'll.
The Man in the Ranks.
While we are learning of the
great Generals who have made the
South famous, it no less behooves
us to pause for a moment and look
with tender, tear-dlmmed eye upon
the man in the ranks, the man whose
duty it was to give unquestioning
obedience to orders, the man who
knew not to reason why, only to
do or die," in defense of his native
land.
The man who dug the trenches
and built the breastworks; the man
who rushed to the onset at the word
of command, who faltered not nor
failed in the discharge of his duty
to his God and his country.
Just after the war between the
states, William Abney, writing of
a beloved young soldier who had
given his life for his country spoke
thus: "The historian of the war,
perchance, will deem that he has
discharged his obligation to posteri-
ty, when his stylus has inscribed on
the historic scroll the name of each
Captain or colonel or Knight at
arms, who has figured in the event
full story, the successes he has
achieved and his WHAT'S of popular
applause. But it will be the legacy
of the faithful character to fill up
the chasm left by the more ambi-
tious historian, and set down with
gold on lasting pillars the names
and unhonored laurels ofthose war
rior heroes, who though holding
subordinate stations in the military
arena, nevertheless dealt doughty
blows and performed prodigies of
Yalour in delivering their country
from the CALLING yoke of servltude.
And here offer we up the need of q
fearful and grief urung tribute to

Importance of Healthy
Kidneys.
Edeefield Readers Should Learn
to Keep the Kidneys Well.

The kidneys have a big work to
do. All the blood in the body is
coursing through the kidneys con-
stantly to be freed of poisonous
matter. 1t is a heavy enough task
when the kidneys are we'll, but a
cold, chill, fever or some thought
less exposure is likely to irritate,
infame and congest the kidneys and
interrupt the purifying work.
Then the aching frequently be-
gins and is often accompanied by
some irregularity of the urine-too
frequent passages, sediment or re-
tention. Thousands testify to the
wonderful merit of Doan's kidney
pills, a remedy for the kidneys only,
that has been used in kidney troub-
les so years. You will make no
mistake in following this Edgefeld
citizens advice.
Mrs. ] T Pattison, Edgefeld, S.
c., says: Il have given Doan's kid
ney pills a thorough trial and L
know them to be a asplendid remedy.
On several occasions used them
and received lasting relief from kid
ney trouble. I do not hesitate to
recommend this remedy as the best
one 1 know of for kidney COM

the names of these devoted martyrs
who have thus poured out the rich
spilth of their hearts best blood as
a libation to the Goddess of Lib
erty."
Among the books of Joseph Alb
ney 1 found a pocket edition of
Moore's Poems carried with him
through the war in the back of
which were these words: Copied
from the back of an old letter found
on the body of an unidentified SOL
dier in the ranks" Then followed
this most beautiful poem that has
become household word through
out the entire south and will live to
be handed down through countless
ages and which will make the man
immortal:
'All quiet along the Potomac to-
night
Except now and then stray picket
is shot
As he walks on his beat to and fro
By a rifeman hid in the thicket,
&c. &c.
1t will never be,khown who pen
nedthese exquisitelines but the mem
ory of the man, the lone picket
along Potomac's banks, will live in
the hearts and minds of men long
after the names of our Generals are
lost.
Imagine him in the long quiet
watches of the night, pacing back
and forth, back and forth, keeping
ward over the thousands who slept
"alls quiet except now and then, u
the picket is shot by the riheman,
hid in the thicket. Then the pickets
off duty forever.
What chances the man in the
ranks took! What deeds of daring
he performed. At one time he saved
his country's flag, at another he
threw himself between his COM
mander and death.
Oh, the deathless courage, the
unfailing love, the unabating zeal of
the man in the ranks! Can we ever
cease to love him, to be proud of
him, to rejoice that he was ours?
When the last trump shall sound
in the resurrection morning, side
by side, we will see them. rank

LUMBER CONCERNS
DESPOIL INDIANS
Disclosures of Swindling to Be LaiS
Before Congress-Blame on
Federal Law.

Washington-As the result Of an
investigation which was conduct
ed by Representative Graham
of Illinois, chairman of the COM
mittee on expenditures in the in
terror department, disclosures OF the
neglect and despoliation OF the Chippe-
wa Indians in Minnesota are to be laid
before the house of representatives.
Under the provisions Of various acts
passed by congress in the last ten
years thousands of the Indians on this
reservation were given timber lands
of extraordinary value and then in
duced to sell the timber to powerful
lumber companies operating in Mime
sofa.
The lumber concerns were even
enabled to carry out their gigantic
acquisition of timber by federal
law multiplying a Minnesota statute
Chairman Graham and Congress-
man Henry George of New York re-
turned here from the reservation,
where they have been taking evidence
in the inquiry for nearly a month.
They reported the Indians to be in a
deplorable condition. The committee
will hear additional witnesses in
Washington and then make a report
to the house.

MANY ACTS ARE
RENDERED VOID
Decision of Illinois Supreme Court
Kills Measures.
EXTRA SESSION NEXT WEEK
Appropriation of sec, 1000 for State Uni
versty Knocked Out Because Bill
Was Not Printed Before Adop.
tion-Many Rushed Through.

Springfield. Ill.-Governor Deneen
viii call the Illinois legislature in
special session some time next week,
if present plans are not changed.
The calling Of special session OF
the legislature is made necessary be-
cause the legality OF many of the acts
passed during the last forty years Is
in question as a result of the opinion
handed down by the supreme court
knocking out the appropriation OF $780,
900 for the Illinois university medical
school.
The high court held the appropria-
ton void because in the passage OF
the omnibus bill in the last general
assembly it was submitted to both
houses as a conference report, which
conference report was not printed be-
fore being placed on it's passage.
Virtually all of the important laws
enacted since the new constitution
was adopted may be successfully as
sailed if the litigation Is instituted and
if proof can be sustaine that the con-
ference reports, by which route these
laws reached the final stage IN the
legislative hopper, were, not printed
before being placed on their passage.
At a cursory survey of the statutes
the following laws Of more recent en-
actment may be considered as coming
within the inhibition of the constitu-
ton as interpreted by the high court:
The municipal court act abolishing
the justice shops; the omnibus appro-
priation bill, carrying all of the ap-
preparations for the conduct Of state
Institutions; statewide civil service
bill: county civil service measure, put
ting all county employees under merit
rule; park civil service measure; com
mission form of government act, which
has been adopted at Springfield, ILL.,,
and is in operation: senatorial appor-
tiornent bfii, under which the pres
en1 members of the legislature are
divided into 81 districts in the state;
law providing for the payment into
the state treasury of all fees collected
by state officers; appropriation for
new building at the state fair grounds;
the Australian ballot act under which
present elections are held; the extor-
ton and unjust discrimination act;
part of the garnishment act; the po-
lice pension fund law; the act regulat-
ing corporations in the state; the act
regulating the juror system in Illinois.

There are three counts in the indict-
ments against the officials and employ

charges that nearly all competitors
concerned have been brought out or
driven out of business. 1t is charged
that restraint has been in operation
for the last twenty years, although the
specific charge is confined to the last
three years. 1t is said to have been
aHected by bribing employees of COM
petitors and transportation. telegraph
and telephone companies, and injuring
the credit of competitors in libeling
their machines. The second and third
counts charge the defendants with

PLANS WAR ON SMALLPOX
Epidemics in Wood and Kenosha
Counties Claim the Attention of

Madison.-The spread of SMALLPOX
in many parts of Wood county
prompted the state board of health
to call a meeting at Grand RAPIDS
of all the health officers in the coun-
ty, together with the physicians, par
ticularly from the infected districts,
to devise ways and means of con-
trolling the disease. The state board
desires to take measures to permit
the schools to continue. General vac
cination will be recommended. The
disease is prevalent in eleven towns,
villages and cities in Wood county.
Authorities of the city of Grand Rap
ids are complaining over their in
ability to combat the disease when
quarantine RULES are not enforced in
the country districts.
The board has also served an ulti-
matum upon the mayor of Kenosha
to cause a stricter enforcement of
the health laws, failing in which the
board will send a special offer to
Kenosha to take charge of the sit
uation at the city's expense. Scar

Will Consider Rehearing on Validity

Madison.-Answer to the petition
of Harry w. Bolens, plaintiff in the
suit brought against the income tax

was recently sustained by the Su-
preme court, has been filed by coun-
sci for the state. 1t is expected that

a rehearing of the action at the next
session on March IL.
Bolen's petition is based on three
principal allegations, as follows:
That the taxation of income from
municipal bonds will incur the OBJ
legation of contract; that the taxa
ton of income of business in and
out of the state taxes interstate COM
merce, and that the act discrimin-
ates against residents of the state.
1t is contended that these points
were not fully argued at the first
hearing.
