Other counties are getting ready to receive aud pay out pensions to their old veterans, and old Edge field, always first in the breach, is forced to wait out in the cold. Last year our pension board consisted of Capt. L. Charlton, Auditor Hal tiwanger, Dr. A. S. Dozier, Treas urer Caughman, and Capt. James Watson. Of these five Dr. Dozier is dead and two others are rest dents of Saluda county. As a con sequence Edgefield county i* with out a pension board. We respect fully call the attention of our members of the legislature to this status of affa;rs and also our Edgefield Confederate camps to the same matter. These camps might do some very ?ffeetiv? work if they will. Why don't they raise Cain? MAD, MADDER, MADEST. To Say That Capt. Jim is Mad Does Not Do the Sub ject Justice. I have been informed, Mr. Edi tor, that there are two old Confed erate soldiers in the Edgefield County Poor House. Can this be true? Is it a fact that our proud old State thus cares for those ',of her sons who are no longer able to care for themselves, but who in the days that tried men's souls battled, bled and did all but die for her? Is it thus that South Carolina re members the devotion of her bat tle scarred heroes? Shame, shame upon such a spectacle; Let the Confederate camps of Edgefield hold a mass meeting, pass resolutions in condemnation of such ingratitude on the part of the State, and appoint a commit tee to attend tue sittings of. the legislature day after day until ad journment or until this unholy spectacle ?B made to pass away. As for the members of the Gen eral AsRembly, "with their hands on their mouths and their mouths, in the dust, they should cry u'u clean, unclean, that we have per mitted this thing! JIM MINER. PRESIDENT'S ROUTINE. Gen. Harrison Writes of "A Day With the President at His Desk." ExPresident Harrison has written of "A Dr.y With the President at His Desk" for the March Ladies! Home Journal. The article is said to be singularly interesting in the detail with which it describes the wearisome routine of the president. It is said that Gen Harrison,in th is article, has delivered himself with great directness and vigor, relative to the annoyances that are visited upon a Chief Executive . by persistent office-seekers, and he suggests a unique plan, by which the President's burdens jn that direction could be greatly lighteued, and he be enabled to devote more attention to more important matters. A feature of the article that will ha>-e a timely interest to those ambitious to serve the countiy nnder the incoming administration, describes very fully how the President makes appointments to office. UA Day With the President at His Desk" is unique in being the first time that the daily life of the President has been described by one who has filled the exalted office. Articles upon the social and domestic life of the President by General Harrison will follow in successive issues of the Journal. Beautiful Sea Shells. Every one admires them. Since coming south I have received num ous inquiries from northern peo ple for sea shells, and now I am prepared to answer yes, I can send you shells, for I have made . quite a collection of lovely shells, both from our own coast, tho coral reefs and some lovely ones from the Weet India Islands: I will maila dozen or more different kinds, no two alike, to any one who sends a stamp for postage.

The police, however, wouldn't allow the man with the ax to come in. Baltimore American: In the criticism evoked by the great fancy ball lately given in New York, there yas no denial of the obvions fact that it put money in circula tion, and that, especially in times of the depression, if an excellent thing. New York Morning Advertiser: It is said the ball put $500,000 in circulation. That is better for the community than that the Bradley Martins should lock up au equal sum of money and draw in terest on it. In addition to this the Bradley Martins are, satisfied. Chicago Chronicle: The affair has been pronounced vulgar in its ostentation, especially by news payers that have themselves con tributed to the utmost of their power in pampering the vanity of which they complain, and thereby exhibited thoir own vulgarity.
