DIG UP STATUTE

LAuNcHED-sTATuTE EN-
ACTED IN 1853
OTHER s0UTAERNERs HIT
Proposed Amendment to Edmonds Bill
to Prevent Ex-congressmen From
Prosecuting Claims Against
U. s. Would Affect Many.

Washington. Pursuit of former
President Woodrow Wilson by partisan
politicians is about to receive a new
impetus by regalvanizing long I'M
noticed federal statute which was en-
acted to keep former departmental Of
ficials in Washington from prosecuting
cases., or claims, against the govern
ment. The salute in question was
originally enacted back in 1858, but it
is not now recalled that it has ever
been even so much as indifferently ap-
piled.
Like many other statutes of similar
political nature of remote enactment.
1T fell into disuse and was forgotten
even by its sponsors. But when Wood
row Wilson and other democrats of
less renown and distinction established
themselves in Washington as practic-
ing attorneys some of the partisans
who had barked at his heels through
out the eight years of his two admins
trations as chief executive took up the
trail, which should have ended in the
White House March 4, 1921, and are
pursuing him into the peaceful ways
of private life.
The real animus Of the proposed
legislation may be glimpsed in the con-
sidered amendment to make the stat
ute applicable only to those officials
who left the service of the government
since 1918 This amendment would ap-
ply to those democrats who resigned
from the service two years before
Woodrow Wilson retired in 1921.
The proposed Edmonds bill has a
number of shining democrats as tar
gets. Topping the list of former Sec
rotary of State Colby, former Assist
ant Secretary of the Navy Brecken-
ridge Long, two former attorneys gen.
eral, Thomas Gregory and Mitchell
Palmer, two former commissioners OF
internal revenue, Daniel E. Roper and

tary Joseph P. Tumulty.

PENSION MONEY COMING.
Confederate Veterans Soon to Get
State Allotment.

ii. r. jackson, pension clerk in
the office of the comptroller gen
eral in Columbia. last Friday in
formed The Times that he was
working day and night on the
pension rolls in an effort TO get
the pension money out to the va
rlous counties for distribution
among the Confederate veterans
and the widows of Confederate
veterans at the earliest possible
moment. Il realize that the vet
Grams especially are anxious to
get their money said Mr.. Jack
son, land | am hurrying with all
possible speed. There has been
some delay iii sending out the
money because the pension com
missioners of four counties have
failed to send in promptly their
lists. Until all the lists are re
cclved by this office it is impOssi-
bic to prorate the money among
the various counties, but the miss
lEg lists are expected in few
days and the money will then be
forwarded to the county audi
tors.
Mr.. jackson said that many
new names had been added to the
pension lists by the county boards
and that instead of an increase in
the amount to be received this
year by the individual veteran
he feared there would be slight
decrease. Mr.. Jackson also fears
that the new pension law allowing
the county boards to designate
the amount of pension. each vctc-
ran shall receive will not work
with entire satisfaction.

BIG FIRE Anniversary.
Fort Mill Visited by Disastrous
Blaze 27 Years Ago.


B. Henry Massey day or two
ago reminded The Times that last
Saturday, April 8, was the 9th
anniversary, of fire which de-
stroyed five Main street stores
and the postoffice and cottage in
Fort Mill. The fire originated in
the second story of an unoccu-
pied building which stood on the
site OF the present postoffice build
ing. The flames quickly spr ,ad
to small store room to the east
and to the postoffice building in
the rear, facing on Confederate
street.
The next building to catch fire
was on the corner now occupied
by the Jones drug store. From
this building the flames were
communicated to large two
story building, a few feet away,
which was erected about 3S years
ago by the late w. S. Belk and
used by himself. Springs BIOS.
and others as a store room. An
old barroOm building, in which

was quickly consumed. Mean
while cottage on Confederate g
street likewise had gone up in
smoke.
There was no fire department
in Fort Mill in those days-just
as there is 40 fire department
mere at preSent-and i'm a short
time about half the business see
ton OF the then village of about
6o0 people was destroyed. A ne
gro named Hyder Wylie was sus-
pected of starting the fire and he
was arrested and held in Jail for
several days for investigation, but
no mcriminating evidence against
hlm was produced and he was
turned loose. Mr.. Massey. in
speaking of the fire. said his opin-
ION always had been that it was
due to the carelessness of a party
OF white men who had been gam
bling in the building in which it
originated.

VI N'ii' iSilpulicT.
That is a cOmmendable move
ON the part of the people of Fort
Mill to continue the concrete road
that runs from Winthrop college
to Catawba river, on to Fort Mill.
The road between the river ard
Fort Mills bad and it will prob
ably never be much better until
it is rebuilt in concrete. The con-
crete way is probably the most
expensive way sS far as first costs
are concerned. but it is the cheap
est in the long run and the build
ing of this road should not be de-
layed a moment longer than IL
necessary. The proposition of the
Fort Mill people, too, as offered
by Col. Spratt and others, is lib
eral enough.
