FUNERAL OF IT. l.. B. POND.
Prominent Silver City Resident Laid
 at Rest This Afternoon

Meriden, March 7.--The funeral of
 Henry Lewis Burdette Pond was held this afternoon at the First Congrega-
 tional church. The services, which
 were largely attended, were conducted
 by Rev. T. B. Powell and Rev. A. J.
 Lord. The Masonic ritual was used and
 at the grave in Walnut Grove ceme-
 tery, Merriman post, G. A. R., was
 in charge of the funeral.
 In the death of MT. Pond the city

 citizens. For over 35 years he resided
 in the Silver City during which time
 he occupied a prominent place in the
 manufacturing circles of this city. His
 death, which occurred Monday after noon at the Meriden hospital, was the result of Q fall sustained on an icy sidewalk in Springfield Mass, Febru- ary s.
 Mr Pond was a native of Bristol born April IA, 1S40. At the outbreak of the Civil War he enlisted in the 23d Connecticut Volunteers. He was mustered out August 31, 1863. Most of the service the regiment saw was in Louisiana and it participated in the l battles of La Fourche Crossing, Bras ] hear City and Bayou Bouef. At the conclusion Of the war MT. ! Pond entered the employ of the New l Haven road. When the late Horace l Williams built the old Cromwell road ] in the early '80s, MT. Pond came to l Meriden as traffic manager. Later he | became superintendent of the Meriden, ] Waterbury and Connecticut railroad. l When these lines were absorbed by the l Consolidated road he entered the em- l ploy of the H. Wales Lines Co., He l rose rapidly with the concern and at
 the time of his death he was the pay l master for the Lines Co,
 l He was member of Merriman post and was for several years president of l the 23d Volunteer Veterans associa 1 ton. He Was also a member of Cen l ter lodge, A. r. & A. M

Shall the Door OF Hope Remain
Closed Against the Boys of
Edgefield County?

Annapolis trains boys for the
United States navy. This being a
government school, no one can en-
ter it even if he is millionaire's
son unless he gets an appointment.
1t has long been the custom in this
district, practiced by all or nearly
all of our congressman since re-
construction days, Hons. George D.
Tillman, G.. w. Croft, T. G. Croft
and J. D. Patterson, to fill these ap-
pointments by competitive examina-
IT, giving every boy in the dis
...lct a chance to try for these. places.
Our present congressman has de-
parted from this long custom and
has recently given out to a son OF
an influential family in Saluda coun-
ty a place and another to son OF a
very wealthy and influential family
in Aiken county. Is this another
piece of politics to gain votes?
There can not be one word said
against either of these young men.
But this certainly has violated a
Democratic principle that the peo-
pie of this district have long enjoy
ed and should never occur again.
This is not truly Jeffersonian De-
mocracy of equal rights to all and
special privileges to none.
Suppose that the places that the
boys and girls Of this state are en-
titled to in the Citadel, Winthrop,
University of South Carolina and
Clemson were filled in this way
without a competitive examination,
a just howl would 60 up all over
our State.
Senators TiIlman and Smith have
recently filled some scholarships at
West Point and Annapolis by COM
petitive examinations, which were
held in Columbia.
This is another very important
matter that can be we'll added to the
list of questions that was recently
submitted to Mr.. Byrnes by Mr..
Toole of Aiken. The public awaits
with interest an explanation of this
and other matters not yet explain

Two Edgefield Girls Making
Good at the Orphanage.

We are very proud of our twins
at the Orphanage. They came to
us as little girls and have made
their way to the tenth grade, and
prospect is that they will graduate
in June next. However, we would
not make them any definite and pos
sitive promise with regard to this
matter, for we want the dear girls
to study just as hard as their en-
ergy will allow from now until
June, and to work as if they were
fearful as to whether they will sue
cessfully make the trip"
The twins are Edgefeld county
girls and were born near Modoc.
Their names are JAMIE nellie Smith
and Julia Nette Smith. They have
made an enviable record at the Or
phanage for good conduct and for
high-minded bearing. We would be
glad for all our friends in the State
to become acquainted with such
girls as the ins.-Connie Max.

WOMAN'S FRIEND
So Says Florida Lady Long
Suffering With Poor
Health Who Quick
ly Receivers by
Its Use.
READ WHAT SHE SAYS.

'Oh, 1 think Acid Iron Mineral
is just wonderful for women trou-
bled like I was with poor health"
says Mrs. A. H. Gallagher, of Anti
och, Florida.
II was terribly poor in health. l
had nervous indigestion so bad l
could scarcely eat anything at all.
Gas would form on my stomach SO
bad would almost choke to death.
Kidney trouble, aches and pains in
my back, rheumatism and female
complaints, all combined managed
to make life miserable for me until
a friend told me about this Acid
Iron Mineral. 1t is everything they
claim for it to be. I gladly recon-
mend it to all my friends. 1t re-
lieved me of indigestion and gastri-
tis, and the female trouble has dis
appeared" says Mrs. Gallagher.
Acid Iron Mineral is, strange to
say, not an acid medicine. 1t has
no alcohol or dope to deaden pain
or senses. 1t is just the simple
highly concentrated compound made
from ore dug out of medicinal
iron ore mine, leeched, filtered, test
ed and bottled, very powerful for
home use and use in hospitals and
by doctors.
1t is so strong that just a tea
spoonful or less in a glass of water
makes a powerful dose. How quick
it acts even in the most stubborn
cases is easily proven. Get bottle

O. Sheppard, ESQ.,, Receives
High Commentator.

Many of our Trustees have not
been long in the service, but we re-
ioice to be able to count some i've
or six as veterans in the cause of
the Orpbanage. Bro. Orlando
Sheppard of Edge6eld was elected
at the Gaffney Convention in 1899
as a Trustee of the Orphanage for a
period of three years. AT Rock
Hill last December he was elected
for such a period for the seventh
time and will therefore have served
the Orphanage for a full period of
twenty.one years, if he should be
blessed to live to serve out his pres
ent term.
We are fortunate to have a few
good and worthy men who have had
continuous service on the Board.
Bro. Sheppard attended all the
meetings of the Orphanage Board
of Trustees and knows the institu-
tion in all the details of its work.
He has stirred his people locally to
support the Orphanage, and has
been a most active and energetic
spokesman in its interest in the
Edgefeld Association, over which
body he has for many years pres'-
ded as moderator. The value of
Bro. Sheppard's legal ability on the
Board will never be expressed by
any words that nan may be able to
use. 1t is not written in the records,
nor can it be written anywhere.
His experience as business man,
his ability as lawyer, and his phys
ical strength have all been contrl-
buted most abundantly to the cause
that he has been SO willing to assist.
He has served on many of the most
important committees of the Board
of Trustees, especially with regard
to the settlement of some of the es-
tates and has rendered aid that was
invaluable. We believe that Con-
ME Maxwell Orphanage is in Bro.
Sheppard's heart, and if we mis-
take not, it is very near its center.
