BuFoRD SEEKING
TO RIGHT WRONG
Works fer Refund Of illegal Tax.

P. H. MCGOWAN in Columbia State.
Washington, Feb. 9.-M. NJ. Buford
of Newberry, for 16 years sheriff OF
that county, and one Of the best
known and gallant Of Confederate SOL
diers, is in Washington working in
the interest of the passage of the war
time cotton tax, collected illegally
from the people of the South SO years
ago.
Specifically, Mr.. Buford believes that
congress should enact the bill offered
some time ago by Representative Till
man of Arkansas for an appropriation
of S100,000,000 for paymen, present
and future, to living Confederate vet
erans and the widows of deceased SOL
diers. This bill would pay either the
soldiers or their widows the sum of
$500 and $50 month as long as they
might live.
1t should be remembered that the
people of the South contributed to the
federal government during the War
Between the States the enormous
amount of $100,O0O,000 from captured
and abandoned property, from con-
fiscated property and from the collec-
tion of the cotton tax from 1863 to
1868.
It should also be remembered that
the South gave up 100000 slaves
worth s2,0O0,O00,O00 without word.
This is the summary of the bill
which Mr.. Buford believes congress
should quickly and speedily pass, and
he points out that the average age of
the Confederate soldier is 70 years and
that their wives are also well adyanc-
ed in life.i
Whether or not congress will ever
refund this money is unknown, but
efforts of Mr.. Buford and others should
have the solid backing of all right
minded people, no matter from where
they may come, that a gigantic in
justice may, even at this late date, be
corrected.

Hold Your Cotton.

The great slump in the price OF cot
ton is to frighten the farmer into a
panicky condition and get him to SELL
The mills are short on cotton and
have only enough to last them for
about 60 or 80 days, and all the farmer
must do is to sit steady in the boat
and hold fast and decide to reduce his
acreage the next year and all will come
out right. Don't get scared-NeW-
berry Herald and News.
Colored farmers can hold their cot
ton, we trust. If not all, part any
how. The white farmers are standing
firm and the negroes must stand by
them. Sacrifice and hold your cotton,
those who know say the price will go
up. Be game now, since you have
started and gamble to the end.-The
Light.
