AS to Pensions.

Editor The Herald and News: The
writer walked through your city in
perilous times. He hailed from that
section of Carmel Hill, then Chester
district, where the famous fight was
held with the Scott negro MALTA.
Space forbids to mention much of in
terest to all. The writer claims to
be author of Carolina road laws, also
rural free delivery, which was first
tested in Newberry county. Space for
bids proof until records are disputed.
The writer, a former member of the
Spartanburg county pension board, is
now interested in the movement for
united action as outlined in congress,
but generally rejected by Southern
members, to accept Yankee aid, al
though increase of salaries, govern
ment buildings and presidential Of
fees are highly acceptable. IS"
Again the writer is self-appointed
agent in begging funds to aid helpless
and ill-treated veterans throughout the
State, and will expose scandal that
will arouse the interests of all citizens.
He has cause to thank many liberal
citizens for their aid in a small way
from all factions of the political fac
tons now existing. During the last
session of the legislature the writer
secured thousands of signatures, and
many from Newberry and Pomaria, at
which places he canvassed. Every
cent received has been accounted for
and much good has already been ac-
complished. The old beggar is among
the people and thanks many who are
responding to his call for a pittance
to help expose the frauds in pension
matters The poor we will always
have, but the Confederate veterans
will soon be all dead 1t seems that
the younger men and women love to
build monuments to look on before
pensions are provided, but remember
the Brooks duel in Washington was
concerning Revolutionary pensions
when South Carolinians could not
compete with Massachusetts because
Brooks said South Carolina was too
proud to accept pensions" and South
Carolina led in secession, but behind in
caring for men that fought the battles.
Nearly every leader that excited the
people to arms stayed at home when
the battles began in earnest. A serious
time confronts us. Watch the new
movement. The man at the head is
bold and will use weapons that will
cause Blease and Jones voters aston
ishment-a aint is suficient-"boast
not thyself of tomorrow for thou know
est not what day may bring forth. :"
Once more thank all good people for
helping the cid Confederates.
Respectfully,
Geo. W. Chalk,
ellis 3rd S. C. Battalion, Chester Dis
trict.

Conclusion,

Tn submitting these reports, with rec concentrations, 1 will state that in my opinion each of the foregoing recom- mendations, If acted on, will contribute largely to Increase efficiency. Direct ly and indirectly the changes proposed will result in the saving of many mil lions of dollars of public funds. This will leave the congress free to deter mine whether the amount thus saved shall be utilized to reduce taxation or to provide funds with which to extend activities already carried on and to enter on beneficial projects which oth- erwise could not be undertaken for lack of funds.
 Again I urge. upon tie congress the desirability of providing whatever funds cln be used effectively to carry forward with all possible vigor the work now well begun. The S20O,O00 required for the prosecution of the in- quiry during the ensuing year and the $5O.OO0 estimated for the publication of results are inconsiderable in com parison with the economies which can be realized.

THE EMERALD PROGRESSIVE

(New York Evcuing Sun.) AS I sauntered down iGEe, huinming > some old-fashionea strain, I perceived lady bovine lank and
 lean. And in wonder I. espied in the bucket
 at her side Milk whose color was a deep, decided
 green Now perhaps should confess that 'tis
 seldom I address Lonely females whom I do not
 chance to know, But the strangeness of the sight gave
 at least a show of right And I ventured near &nd doffed my
 derby low. . ''Honored madam" I began, 'I am
 no, a flirting man. And I trust my boldness doesn't
 cause you fear, But if hap.y you're inclined to relieve
 puzzled mind You'll explain a thing that's really
 far from clear. I have travelled far and wide and may
 say, with proper pride, That I've watched a million cows
 at closest range, But I never yet have seen milk of wonder greenish sheen, And I wish that you'd elucfdate the
 change" She regarded me a while with a con-
 descending smile, Then she answered me in fashion
 most polite, T can clearly see that you hold the
 old and hidebound view That the proper lacteal coloring is
 white. You are conscious, it appears. that for
 many weary years Milk has worn the pale and pasty
 hue of chalk; That is where the matter ends, and,
 like all your stand-pat friends, You would hold the wheels of pro-
 gress back with talk" "As you doubtless can perceive, am
 trying to retrieve, All my sisters from their cribbed and
 cabined ways. Why should ancient customs bind if
 eternally we find That to ceaseless toll we dedicate our days? Though our ancestry saw fit weakly,
 tamely to submit To a custom that required fluid
 white. Why should we. forsooth, be bound to
 the dull and changeless round? It is ancient, sir, I grant, but is 1t
 right?" why ShOuid we regard or reck. vain
 traditions stupid check On the green and verdant color of the grass? Twill be better far, I trow, all un-
 changed to let it go, And with all it's pristine greenenss let it pass. 'Tis the COW that gives the milk-not
 tradition and it's ilk- And the COW should be considered for
 a space, And in wonder well-filled pail you may
 recognize and hail The emerald progressives of the
 race!''

Eureka!

Hiero, king of Syracuse, consulted Archimedes in regard to a gold crown suspected of having silver alloy. The mathematician pondered long in en- deavoring to detect the fraud and still had the subject in his mind when he got into his bath. The bath was full and overflowed. Then the thought Oc- cured to him-exactly as much wa ter must overflow as was equal in vol tune to the size of his body. Then came another thought-if he put the crown into a vessel of water and weighed the overflow. then put into the water piece of pure gold weigh ing exactly as much as the crown, the overflow should weigh exactly as much in one case as in the other. provided the crown were pure. Electrified by the thought, he leaped from the bath and ran naked through the streets, shouting, Eureka. eureka!' It is added that his test proved that the smith had in fact cheated the king. The cry is now familiarly used as an exclamation of triumph at. a discovery or supposed discovery.

The Busy Bobcat.

The wildcat of the North woods. red lynx. bay lynx. bobcat, or whatever we may elect to call him. says writer in the Outing, has been discribed as a bundle of live wires actuateds by the spirit of Satan. Running up to more than forty pounds in weight. he is as big as his finer furred cousin. the tufted cared Canada lynx. far hand somer and much more savage. I have seen them fight dogs desperately. and a full grown wildcat will play havoc with a flock of sheep But no cat has ever been known to attack man except in the effort to get away when cor nered. Some time ago found a man in Maine willing to swear before mo- tary that bobcat had attacked him without provocation. but I decided to abide by the advice of Manly Hardy. gone from us now. who wrote me that a man who would swear to anything of the kind was born liar anyhow.

The recommendation for cen tralizing the distribution of documents from the departments, if acted on. will affect the appropriations of seven de- partments, five independent establish ments and the Washington postotfice.
 may say in connection with this report and recommendation that the house of representatives in passing the agricultural appropriation bill for the fiscal year 1913, instead of reduc- ing the cost of distributing govern ment publications in the department of agriculture by S137, ,OO0, has fncreas- ed to the extent of $13,2eO the amount appropriated for salaries for the divi- sion of publications over the appropri- alton for the current year.
 Outlines of Organization.
 The outlines of organization of the government. which were transmitted with the message of Jan. r. have been sent to each of the departments with a request that orders issue which will require that the outline be kept up to date (appendix No. 9l. This will not only make available at all times the in- formation needed by congress or the administration when called for and as- s:st materially in the rCeparation of es- inmates of appropriations, but will make unnecessary the publication of the official register. thereby saving ap- proximately $45,O0O for each issue.
