Type writers are getting so commo
now-a-days that few business letter
or legal documents are written wit
the pen. Limited to this use the typ
writer is a very good thing, but noth
ing could be more inelegant than t
use it to write letters of love or friend
ship, or in correspondence with per
sons whose age or exalted position de
mands the delicate flattery of letter
written in one's own handwriting
Qu<?cr? Victoria has never become re
Loneil ?d to the use of the type writei
even for official documents, and re
quires all papers tbat come to her fo
signature to be written with pen an

"JRemember thc [Scriptures," said th
dominie. "'Be not forgetful to enter

entertained angels unawares.' " "Yoi

the other; "no angel would come dowi

the good old man to the mercy of tin

Tb at Pension Business.
No pension board for Edgefield
county yet ; what is rhe matter?
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!

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. Yours,

"After The Ball.
Chigago Record: There were
fifty Marie Antoinettes at the
Bradley Martin ball. 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.
