Old Soldiers Rapidly Passing.

One is often reminded that the ranks of
the Confederate soldiers are thinning rap
idly. How few there are in Edgefield and
in every other community of the county.
Not many years ago when one desired in
formation concerning this or that battle or
concerning some company or regiment it
was an easy matter to find an old soldier
who could supply the information from his
store OF personal knowledge. But it is
now difficult to find one who can give in
formation concerning the things of the
past.
An unmistakahle evidence that the old
soldiers are dropping out of sight rapidly
is found in the fact that there is not one in
either body Of the General Assembly.
Probably this is the first session since the
Civil War that the legislature of South
Carolina did not contain one or more vet
Grams. Of the few who remain most of
them are too oldto take active part in pub
lie life.
The younger generation should show the
old veterans who are yet with US every
possible consideration. They deserve all
we can do for them.--E'dgefed Advertiser.

levees Break.

The levee on the west bank of the Atchaf-
alya River, at point seven miles below
Melville, gave way at 6 O'Clock Sunday
morning, overlooking a section of country
fifteen to sixteen miles square, or from 225
to ESQ square miles in area. The whole of
the area that will be affected is almost de-
void of settlements of any kind. AS all
efforts to stop the crevasse will be futile, it
will be permitted to take its course.
Natchez, Miss, Feb. 15.-The levee on
Limerick plantation, twenty five miles
above st. Joseph and six miles from New
elton, in Tensas Parish, broke unexpect-
eddy at 80 Tuesday morning. Thousands
of acres will be inundated in Tensas and
Concordia parishes and Madison, Franklin
and Catahoula probably also will suffer.
NeWelton, nearest town to the break, has a
population of about 1000.
Natchez, Miss, Feb. 16.-Approximately
$4,000 acres of farm land are inundated,
three persons are known to have been
drowned and several thousand refugees
are n1arooned in the overlooked area to-
night as the result Of breaks yesterday in
the Mississippi Riyerleyee near Newellton,
La. All OF the dead are negroes. New
elton is flooded to depth of from six in
ches to six feet and water is hourly mount
ing to higher levels and spreading over a
wider area.

New Orleans States: The mistake that

Memphis Commercial Appeal: Chow

cry of the taxpayer.
Kershaw (S.C.) Era: Don't get excited

much Of either is not for the best.
Louisville Courier journal: Confederate
veterans on the Kentucky pension roll have
been dying at the rate of almost one day
during the past three months.
Assumption Pioneer: They say that
instead Of wasting all of this time on a
campaign which was settled on the 25th of
January, that the work of looking after our
levees and protecting the people from over
flow, would perhaps come nearer being
''real issues than anything else. We rise
to second the motion.

The report Of the British War Office that
in the twenty nine Zeppelin raids that the
Germans have made against England there
were in all 266 victims indicates that this
method of getting rid of their enemy is g
slow and expensive one. And of these 266,
over 100 were women and children. In all
only seventeen soldiers have been killed
through Zeppelin raids. In the recent raid,
the largest SO far made, the war office re-
ports that no damage was done that could
possibly have any military significance, or
that would in any significant way affect the
industrial life of the nation. The damage
done was chiefly to dwelling houses and
small shops. Remembering that the Yep
pelin raids have been great stimulus to
recruiting in England, it is very difficult
to see how they could be considered any
great success from the German point Of
view. The war Office announces that it
publishes these details to reassure the peo-
pie, but that in future, to prevent the enc
my getting any information, no details will
be given of Zeppelin raids.

our more or less willing ears rarely, if ever,
escapes working injury and to the extent
that we give it circulation must We be held
responsible. Indeed, we are in way re-
sponsible when we only listen, because by
doing so we afford others the opportunity
of repeating it to at least one other person.
Naturally we win big victory by refusing
to further circulate the wretched report, but
are we certain that we can live up to our
decisions? At first, of course, we adhere
to our resolution easily enough, but as time
goes on and we are thrown first with one
person and then with another who perhaps
may be in part possession of the facts it is
simple matter, and to many persons an
entirely natural one, to supply whatever
lack of knowledge exists, and in this
way to assist in spreading the report about
which they had determined to remain
silent. 1t is not always easy to be faithful
to our resolutions, but the rules which DR..
Van Dyke lays down are too good to be
cast aside and forgotten. They strike at
the root Of much of the wretchedness of
this world and if by any chance we can
engrave them upon our hearts in such a
way that they shall recur to US when the
occasion demands we shall not always for
get to be true to our better selves.
