siOning Veterans Over 20 Years of
Age Under Conditions.

Columbia, Jan. 4.-Gen. u. r.
Brooks will endeavor 20 have passed
during the next session Of the legis-
lature a pension bill that will affect
many Confederate veterans through
out the State.
Gen. Brooks said that the Confed-
crate Soldiers home is inadequate to
accommodate all the old soldiers that
apply.
The bill. as contemplated, will pen

lers over 70 years Of age that are
renters and are unable to pay their
rent IL the bill Is passed. the sum
TO bo given each Of the veterans will
be s11 per month. which was the

From the Daily Item. Jan. 8.
At the meeting OF the board Of
health last night one Of the subjects
discussed was the sale of cold storage
eggs In this city as fresh eggs 1t
seems that several OF the people
about town. some Of them merchants
I'm small way have been having cold
storage eggs shipped into town in big
lots. when the eggs are packed in
baskets with cotton seed and sent out
on the streets where they are sold
by small colored boys.
The Practice 1t seems has been CO.
ing on for some time and has de-
veloped to a considerable extent. 1t
Is reported that a number of those
buying the eggs, which are represent
ed TO be fresh country eggs, have
been "stung" badly by the hucksters
practicing the unsavory. business.
There are various tales told OF the
peculiar circumstances surrounding
the sale of the eggs. One tale is that
one Of those selling the eggs told all
OF those sent out with them to say
that Mother sent me out with these
eggs and told me to sell them" One
old negro woman. probably in the six
ties. told this tale to a well known
citizen. who was on to the fact that
cold storage eggs were being sold
as fresh eggs. and he said some very
caustic things to her before he allow
ed her To go on her way with the ap-
parently ridiculous story that her
mother had sent her out To sell the
eggs.
Another story is that one OF those
selling the eggs told his wife to look
out for some good fresh country eggs
To put In her incubator. She went
ahead and purchased number Of
dozen eggs from the little boys who
were bringing them To the house
and then her husband found that hi,
wire was buying the eggs which ho
was sending out for sale.
| While the matter was discussed
/ fully hy the board Of health II was
decided that no steps could be taken
Just at present 90 prevent the sale Of
the eggs. as convincing evidence wa.
lacking, and the only thing To- do was

TIONS REACHING FAX.
Munitions of War Shipp...---L.ielit 1t
Carloads of Ammunition and Ex.
plOsives Sent South Within Short
Time-AuthOrities Alert.

New Orleans, Jan. 3.-Evidence in
dicating more widespread revolu-
tionary plot against Mexico than has
heretofore been attributed to the op-
ponents Of the Madero administration
has come to light in the discovery of
the shipment Of at least eight car
loads Of ammunition and explosives
from points in Pennsylvania and New
Jersey TO New Orleans within the past
so days.
The fact that these shipments were
'detoured at points north Of New Or
leans Is said to have been clearly es-
tablished, leading to the suspicion
that the real destination was one of
the gulf ports between this city and
Mobile. from which filibustering ex-
petitions have cleared unobserved in
the past.
In addition to these elght carloads,
with an estimated total of more than
100000 pounds of munitions of war,
agents Of the Mexican government as
sert that one firm in New Orleans has
shipped $50 rifles per week for the
past five weeks to points In Texas
near the Mexican border
Secret agents Of the Mexican gov
ernment are working with the agents
OF the United States, and for the past
few days have been keeping several
steamers. as we'll as gulf ports, under
close surveillance. Four Mexicans in
this city. who are said to have been
associated with Gen. Bernado Reyes
In his revolutionary plans, are being
shadowed, and it is not improbable
that arrests may be made within the
next few days.
While the government agents and
officials here decline to make a state
ment. railroad employees s'ate the first
Of the eight carloads left Philadel-
phia on November Is and the others
were sent forward at intervals of
about a week, with New Orleans CIV
en- as the destination on each of the
through way bills. The name of the
consignee is not given. but it is said
that not one Of the cars was check
ed into New Orleans.
It Is not denied in Mexican official
circles that Emilio Vasquez Gomez is
suspected OF connections with revo-
lutionary plot against the Mexican
goVernlnent.

UNION BROAKAGE DOES GOOD
BUSINESS.
Profits of II Per Cent Shown by Re-
ports of Board of Directors.

1t seems that the farmers of Sum-
ter and adjacent counties were sue
cessful in at least one Of their en-
terprises during the past year, il
their effort on their farms were not
as successful as usual during the past
sea:0r. Friday at the annual meet
ing OF the stockholders Of the Union
Brokerage Company, business insti-
tuition formed and operated by the
farmers Of this and adjacent counties,
it was shown by the report of the
general manager and board Of drec-
tors that the company had made
profit Of II per cent on its invest
merit during the past year.
The meeting was we'll attended and
much interest was manifested by the
stockholders in the work that the
establishment was doing. 1t was de-
cided that it was best not to declare
dividend. but to return the profit to
the business because Of the fact that
the capital stock Of the establishment
was so small. The annual election Of
directors took place during the meet
ing. the following persons being chO-
sen on the board; l.. I. Parrott, f.
T. Mimms G. w. Mahoney, S. j.
White, Of this county and j. p. Bud
den Of Tubeville, S. f. Durant Of
Durant. and f. n. Welch Of Wisacky.
After the meeting Of the stockholders
had adjourned the board Of directors
held a meeting and elected the fol-
lowing officers for the ensuing year:
l.. |. Parrott, president; S. j. White,
secretary. and j. NJ. Brogdon, general
manager and treasurer

general manager showed that the
