Reader, if you are a simon-pure Demo crat, and have not registered, go and do so at once. Your vote will be needed this fall.- _ Utah's juries now consist of eight in stead of twelve men. This innovation is based on the theory that eight Utah men are equal te twelve citizens of any other State._ Don't put off registering. The time is running short now. Every man should value his citizenship and should get his certificate?a new one?for the old ones are no longer good. The Laurens County Convention last Monday elected an Irby, or anti-bolting, delegation to the State Convention. Sen : at or Irby headed the list of delegates, and of the other seven delegates three are antis. All of the delegates favor silver. Rev. Dr. J. B. Hawthorne, the gifted and eloquent pastor of the F./st Baptist Church in Atlanta, hms been called to the pastorate of the First: Baptist Church in Nashville, Tenn., and he has accepted it, having preached his farewell sermon in Atlanta last Sunday. Paving brick are now being made of paper. They do not weigh more than half as much as the ordinary article. There is a slight ring to them, but when ; laid on the streets carriages and wagons wj passing over them make almost no noise s at_all. At Topeka, San., considerable Ifpaving has been done with brick made of ^aper. _ <_1 Speaking of cotton manufacturing in the South, R. H. Edmonds, editor of the 12?d nufacturers' JSeeora\ says: "It would require In tne South an investment or over $1,000,000,000 of capital to build and R equip mills enougfc, to consume all the .. cotton the South new raises, and if the South could manufacture at home all the cotton fields turn out, the product would be worth to that section about ?1,200,000, 000 a year, instead of selling for an aver age of $300,000,000 a year, as it now does. Newspaper men are probably tough. They have to go through the rcugh-and tumble programme that falls to the lot of most of them. Bat cne of the tough est on record is that pencil shover in ^New York, who for twenty years has been carrying around in one of bis lungs an inch and a quarter screw, which be inadverently swallowed at that time. < Now he is going to turn the X rays on it and hunt it up. It isn't every newspaper man who could raise an X even for that purpose. _ The spectacle presented the other day in a civil court in New York was a mil lionaire landlord urging a justice to dis possess a poor family from one of his tenements because there was $1 due him for rent. The judge was indignant. He asked the millionaire what he meant by such crnelty, but the heartless landlord merely replied that he wanted his mon ey. The judge then paid the dollar doe for rent to the meanest millionaire on earth, while the spectators obipped in and gave the poor laborer enough to tide him over untU the clouds roll bv. Chief Moore, of the weather bureau, has made a special report to the secretary of agrloulture with regard to the actual money value of cold-wave warnings to the people of this country, with special reference to the cold wave of Jan. 2 to 5 of the present year. That was one of un usual severity, spreading over the entire country east of the Rooky Mountains, with the exception of the southern por tion of Florida. A.t every weather bu reau station throughout this region the cold-wave flag wait displayed, and the warnings were distributed at least twen ty-four hours before the cold wave ocur red. Reports received from 102 stations Indicate that these warnings were direct ly instrumental in stving property ex ceeding $3,500,000 in value, suitable for cultivation. COUNTY CONTENTION. The County Democratic Convention was held in the the Court House last Monday at noon and was called to order by. County Chairman W. T. McGill, who stated that the object of the Convention was to reorganise the Democratic party, and elect delegates to the State Conven tion, which is to convene in Columbia on Wednesday, 20th in at. The Chairman suggested that a tempo rary secretary be elected. On motion W. * E. Lee and W. H. Shearer were elected temporary Secretaries. Chairman McGill stated that some con fusion bad been caused by the basis of - representation in the Convention; some clubs bad elected on the basis of the olub list and others on the basis of the vote of j their respective clubs in the last primarv. He read See. Y of the Constitution and _.. said the matter was now before the Con vention, and should besettled before pro ceeding further. S. N. Pear m an moved that-all olubs be allowed representation on the vote cast in the last primary. J. A. Hall said he was opposed to the motion, which was not Democratic. He favored representation on the basis of the Club list At the last election his Club did not open their box, and the members went to other places to vote. . H. H. Watkins was opposed to Pear man's motion, and said the trouble was in the interpretation of the Section. W. A. Neal, as a substitute for Mr. Pearman's motion, moved that all the delegates who had been elected to the ? Convention be seated, as he did not want any contest over i;he matter. He Bald the Section of the Constitution could be " construed both ways. Mr. Pear m an ac cepted the substitute and Mr. Neal'e mo tion was adopted, after being discussed by a number of other delegates. A. T. Newell moved that the delegates from thoss Clubs which had not elected their delegates according to their Club list, be allowed to add the number of names entitled to, or vote their full strength. Adopted. The chairman called for list of dele gates, and the roll was completed as follows : AndoMOD.No 1?Joh:i K. Hood, Frank T. W? hlte, H. H. Watklns, C. C. Langston,W. A. Vandi ver, F. A.

Chairman McGill announced that the Convention was ready for permanent or ganization, and nominations were in or der. J, E. Breazeale was the only person nominated for President, and he was unanimously elected by aoclamatlon to the position.-The chair was at once yield ed to President Breazeale, who was greeted with applause. Mr. Breazeale made a short address, in which he thank ed the Convention for the honor confer red upon him. It was no slight honor to preside over a Democratic Convention, and especially such as are held in Ander son County, which are always true and loyal for Democratic principles, which is the guiding star of Democracy. The Democratic party had alwayB represented the masses and the Republican party the classes. From Jefferson's day down to the present the Democracy represented tho people. He said we had met to-day for the purpose of reorganizing the par ty for the campaign of 1896, which would be a lively one, but he thought the peo ple needed no prophet to foretell what the result would be. At the conclusion of the President's speech the election of officers proceeded as foliows: Vice-President?J. Belton Watson. Secretaries?W. E. Lee and W. H. Shearer. At this juncture J. W. Bowden, a dele gate from Sandy Springs Club, said he bad a series of resolutions adopted by his Club, which he had been instructed to read before the Convention for infor mation. After reading them, Mr. Bow den said he would, later on, introduce a series of resolutions which about cov ered the action or resolutions of his Club. On motion, the Convention proceeded to the election of a member of the State Executive committee. W. A. Neal and J. P. Glenn were nominated. Mr. Glenn declined, and on motion, the Secre tary was instructed to cast the vote of the Convention for Mr. Neal, which be did, The County Executive Committee was then eleotod, as follows: Anderson, No. 1?J.

Bowden, after a few remarks, in troduced the following resolutions: Whereas, the policy of the National Democratic party in recent years, es pecially since 1892, has been such as to prove that it is completely controlled by the Wall Street money power and is a determined enemy to the producing classes ; and whereas, passing events point to a straddle policy being again adopted on the money Issue which renders it extremely dangerous for the people of this State to assume obligations that will force them to support their enemies at the ballot box ; and whereas, It is of supreme importance to the interests of our State government that the unity ot the white people be maintained in the State Democratic primary; that being true Democracy in allowing every'man to express his choice in nominating con gressmen, State and county officers ; and whereas, the situation as it exists now in both National and State politics makes it imperative un us a party to preserve the rights and interests of our voters by di vorcing entirely our attitude toward the National and State parties by removing any apparent obligation that rests on the voter in the State Democratic primary to vot? the National Democratic ticket. Therefore be it Resolved, By the Anderson county Democrats, in convention assembled,? 1st. That in electing delegates to the National Democratic Convention at Chi cago, the Democratic voters of Anderson county, beincjthe foundation of party and the source of all power, reserve the right to themselves to review the action of the Chicago Convention and in no way at this time bind themselves to support its nominees. 2nd. That the rule requiring that Pres idential electors be voted for in the pri mary be repealed. 3rd. That any action contrary to these resolutions by the State convention will? not be considered binding by the votcrrs of this county. S. N. Pearman moved to lay the resolu tions on the table, but^at-The request of several delegates^jjjic?arew his motion in order tha^^?TSresolutions might be dl8cussec\^ Mr^PS?rraan said he waa in favor of frprailver, but was opposed to this Con tention taling any such action as propos ed in the resolutions. He favored Bend ing a delegation to the State Convention instructed to vote for a solid silver dele gation to the National Convention. Morgan Pack was in favor of the Bow-, den resolutions. He said the South Car olina Democrats ought to be able to stand alone, and separate State Democracy from the National Democracy in order to preserve white supremacy in this State. The national Democracy, be said, did not represent the South Carolina Democracy. J. Belton Watson was opposed to the resolutions. He said 99 out of every 100 Democrats in South Carolina favored free silver, and the resolutions were not ne cessary. He was in favor of making the tight inside the ranks of the Democracy, aud believed the National Convention would adopt a tree silver platform. In concluding his remarks, however, heeaid be was with Ben. Tiilman, and if a free silver plank was not put in the platform, he would favor a bolt. J. K. Hood was opposed to the resolu tions. This Convention had been called for a specific purpose, and the resolutions were out of order. He made this a point of order, and called for a decisir ? from the President. The latter d~ i that any resolutions could be entt _.ed by the Convention. Thereupon Mr. Hood introduced the following resolutions: Resolved, That any action looking to a bolt from the National Democratic Con vention by the delegates of this, or any other State, for any cause, is hereby de clared undemocratic, and of right should, and does, disqualify any body or set of men who entertain such views, or who would bolt the said convention, from membership in and fellowship with any Democratic organization, and they would thereby put themselves without the pale of the Democratic party. Resolved, 2nd, That we will support the party platform and party nominees made and selected by the National Demo cratic party in convention assembled in July next. Mr. Hood spoke in support of his reso lutions, but before he had yielded the door, several motions were made to table them, but were withdrawn to allow Mr. Hood to finish his remarks. Mr. Huod said that he was a r tau neb Democrat, aud that the State and National Democracy could not be separated. Such a position was not true Democracy. He proposed to support the nominees of true Democracy from Coroner to President. No delega tion sent from the State Convention to the National Convention, instructed to get "free eil ver or bust," would ever, in his judgment, be seated When Mr. Hood took his seat, his reso lutions, on motiou, were tabled by an overwhelming vote. D. H. Runaell offered the following resolutions as a substitute for Mr. Bow den'a resolutions: Whereas, the Democratic party , from the days of Thomas Jen'ereon to the present time, has stood for the interests of the masses and against special privi leges to the classes: and, whereas, bi motftliuaa has boon always favored by, said party : and, whereas, we view with alarm the attempt of the monied aristo cracy of onr country to contract the cur rency, by having only one metal of re demption money, whioh tends to enrich the favored classes and impoverish^the masses. Therefore, Resolved, That the administration of G rover Cleveland as President of the United States as administered by the Treasury Department in making gold only as redemption money, is contrary to the teachings and practice of Democra cy as we have always understood them, and detrimental to the best interests of the toiling masses of our people. Resolved, further, That we declare our selves in favor of bimetalism at the ratio of 16 to 1, and opposed to any discrimi nation against silver by legislation. Resolved, further, That our delegates to the State Convention are hereby in structed to vote for no man as t. delegate to the National Convention who does not favor both gold and silver as tbe basis of our currency and oppose the single gold standard. Mr. Bowden spoke against the substi tute, and, among other things, declared he wonld support the nominee of the Populist Convention at St. Louis. J. Bel ton Watson replied to Mr. Bow den and said the latter's resolutions were simply whether the State Convention would send delegates to the Chicago or St. Louis Convention. This Convention bad nothing to do with the St. Louis Convention. During Mr. Watson's remarks he was asked by a delegate, if the Chicago Con vention nominated a "gold bug" for President, would he support him ? Mr. Watson promptly and fiercely answered, "No!" P. K. McCully said this was a Demo cratic Convention and had rules to gov ern it. The St. Louis Convention was not to be considered by tins Convention. The Chicago Convention, he said, would not nominate Grover Cleveland or any other auch man. He was proud of the fact that South Carolina had a man in the United States Senate who had the man hood to denounce Cleveland and bis whole gang. He concluded his remarks by saying: "Vote for Ben. Tillman for Presiden t and we will get all wo want," Mr. Bowden replied to Mr. McCully, and said he was simply making fun of the whole matter. Mr. McCully replied that Mr. Bowden bad no right to impute his utterances, for he meant every word he had said. W. ?. Neal said he had a resolution that would cover ali tbe resolutions, and offered the following as a substitute for them : Resolved, That we endorse Ben. Till man, free silver 16 to 1 and the pitch fork. Mr. Bowden moved to lay Mr. Neal'B resolutions on the table, which was adopted by a vote of 56 to 40. Mr. Bowden movccJ to lay Mr. Rus sell's resolutions on tbe table, which was defeated by a vote of 80 to 35. Mr. Rus sell's resolutions were then adopted. The President read a' petition asking that the citizens of tbe Cedar Grove sec tiou be allowed the privilege of organiz ing a Club there, so that they would not have to go 7 or 8 miles to vote in tbe pri mary election. The request was grant ed. The Convention next proceeded to the nomination of delegates to the State Con vention, as follows: W. A. Neal, J. Bel ton Watson, J. W. Ashley, S. N. Pear man, J. P. Glenn, A. N. Richardson, D. H. Russell, D. K. Norris, C. H. Bailey, H. H. Gray, J. E. Breazeale, W. T. Dean, J. S. Cromer, B. C. Martin and P. K. McCully. The tallers retired to connt the votes, and the Convention took a recess until thev.wure ready to report When the Convention reconvened, the tellers reported that the first twelve named gentlemen above mentioned bad received tbe highest vote cast, and they were declared elected. On motion, J. S. Cromer, B. C. Martin and P. K McCully, the remaining three nominees, were appointed alternates. On motion, tbe convention adjourned. After the adjoulament of the Conven tion, the County Executive Committee met and organized bv electing J. E. Breazeale, Chairman, W. E. Lee, Secre tary, and adjourned, subject to the call of tbe Chairman. The Kaffir Corn. We regret that we are unable to give much information in reply to inquiries with regard to Kaffir corn, the new grain whose large and increasing cultivation in the Western States we noted a few days ago. Wo find in the Southern Planter, however, some facts stated by Mr. P. D. Coburn, secretary of tbe Kansas depart ment of agriculture, showing its yield as compared with Indian corn, which are of interest. For Eix years the Kansas experiment station at Manhattan has grown Indian corn acd "red" Kaffir corn side by side for the purpose of testing tbe compara tive yields of both fodder and grain. Tbe table ol' results compiled by Mr. P. C. Bertis, of the Station, shows that the av erage yield per acre of tbe Kaffir corn for five years was 55 bushels of grain and 4 3-4 tons of fodder, as against 89 bushels of grain and 3 1-2 tons of fodder for the Indian corn. In 1895 the yield in grain of the new corn doubled that of tbe old. Tbe average sbowB that tbe Kaffir corn yields 40 per cent more grain and nearly 95 pet cent more fodder than Indian corn. In 1894 the gram of both failed, the ex perimental crops having been planted "on a poor upland prairie soil underlaid with hard pan," and having missed rain from the middle of July to September 1 In these conditions the Kaffir corn yield ed two tons of fodder to the acre and the Indian corn one ton. Mr. Burtis reports that such dry weather kills the Iudian corn and it must then be cut, but the Kaffir corn lives* on; "although the growth may be checked before the crop matures." "Mr. Burtis presents the further con clusions from bis experience up to the present time : 'For the combined purpose of raisjjjg-the largest yield of grain and a fab^<juantlty of stover it is a fact beyond ^ubt that tbe red and white Kaffir corns are superior to any of the non-saccharine sorghums and the sugar (sorgbum) canes. The latter will produce more hay or fod der and of a little more palatable quality than the Kaffir corns, and are preferred by many on account of this fact when bay or fodder isthe sole object. Although there is a great deal said about which 1b tbe best, the red or the white, I believe when tbe proper comparison is made tbe conclusion will show but little difference, at least not as much as was firstsupposed. Aside from the color there is a much greater difference between the different strains of the same variety than there is between the red and white varieties. A few who have kept their seed pure and carefully selected can testify to this when they have been, for Borne reason, forced to buy seed outside and got hold of some poor stuff. These sorghums are very susceptible to cross fertilization and mod ification, and there will be a rapid im provement or deterioration, according to tbe care that, is exercised in selection of seed. Much of the Kaffir corn seed that is offered for sale is not the best. One may get as much difference in results from Kaffir corn Beed produced from two sources as between a very good variety of corn and a poor one.' " While the subject of "something better" than corn is under consideration it is in structive to note briefly the experience of a Virginin farmer with another crop which is little known In South Carolina, we believe. Mr. W. H. Wilson, of St. Bride's, Va,,writes lothe Southern Planter that be has five reasons for planting more "soja beans" than corn, as follows : "(1.) I can get more net money out of one bushel of soja beans than out of five bushels of corn. (2.) I think corn is five times as hard on the land us soja beans. (3.) Corn costs me five times as much to grow as Boja beans. (4.) I think soja beans are five times as rich in oily matter as corn. (5.) I think soja beans are five times better for producing milk and but ter than corn." Some of our farmers make but a poor success; growing corn on upland acres in dry seasons. They might try Kaffir corn or soja beans, or both. Now is the time to plaDt both.?News and Courier, ? It is estimated that there are 40,000 bicycles In use in the city of Washington. This estimate is based upon figures given by the dealers and by conservative ap proximations. At an average of $50 apiece this would mean an investment of $2,000, 000 ; but it is fair to presume that one-balf of tho total number of wheels cost the owners S100 each, which alone would make an investment of $2,000,000. If the other half cost an average of $50 that would make tbe total amount invested in bioyoles by citizens of Washington $3, 000,000. ? The Salvation Army has established a branch in tbe San Francisco Chinatown. Every evening meetings are held in the very centre of the quarter and two Mon golian converts labor zealously among their brethren. Tbn walls of the meeting room are covered with Bible texts done in Chinese. One woman convert is de tailed to hunt out the Chinese women and Christianize them, as they are not allowed to coma to the meetings, and are held as slaves at home. ? In the midst of a stormy discussion a gentleman rose to settle the mailer in 1 dispute. Waving his hand majestically bo began, "Gentlemen, all I waut is com mon flense." "Exactly," Interrupted another, ^That is oreolBely ^rhst you do Tim,'* I Piercetown Items. ? Sunday School has been organized at Boaverdam with Capt. A. M. Quyton as Superintendent. This is a step In the right direction. Many of our farmers are up with their work. There was a most enjoyable picnic at Liberty Springs last Saturday. The pa trons of the school speak in the highest terms of Miss Moore's work. Mr. W. Rogers was circulating in these dlgginB 8unday. Say, old boy, two in a H. M. F. is too much. A good rain visited us last night. One of our bachelors says he is run ning on the hog and hominy platform. Yob. old fellow, we heard about you tak ing an ear of corn in your pocket to toll Mrs. O'a shote home with you so you could drive it bask again. The Captain says if you monkey around you'll get his fiddle busted over your head. Last Saturday wo decided to take atrip. So in the afternoon we pulled out from Belton and made a bee line for our best girl's. When we arrived we found her at home with one of her small brothers. The rest of the family had gone to the picnic. So you see we were in the clover. We found her in the kitchen with her sleeves rolled up and a white spot on her nose like she bad been trying to root the bottom out of the flour barrel. She greet ed us cordially, and somo of that same white stuff was transferred to our sun burned naBal organ. Then she spread a delicious feast before us and we certainly did justice to her dainties. After we had satiated our appetite, she got a volume of "Sweet Auburn" and carried us down to the spring to soothe and comfort our troubled spirit. Our mind wandered back to the Bpriug in North Georgia where we have often sat listening to the musical voice of one who was all the world to us. And we could not restrain the tears that stole down our tanned fea tures. It was like some fairy dream to sit and listen to her as she read about "The Deserted Village." She glanced up and said, "Sam, what is the matter with you?" and then we told her "our little tale of woe," and she talked to us so gent ly and kindly that we are made stronger and are prepared to resist the many temp tations that surround us. We believe the girls could accomplish much for the cause of Christ If they would only let ub bad fellows know that they are a friend to us and get us in a corner once in a while and lecture us. We have a spot in our heart dedicated to that little fairy, and we shall always love her and remember her kind worclB wherever we may be. We returned by Union Grove and found a large crowd ai. Sunday School. We are so glad that it has revived, for now the boys can have some place to go to that will keep tbem out of mischief. The preaching day at Beaverdam has been changed from the second Saturday and Sundav to the third Saturday and Sunday. yttemember this and govern yonrself accordingly. We think there ought to be a Sunday School at Tackerville. Won't some one take this matter in band and go to work and get up a school ? We hope to see a flourishing school at this place ere long. Sam Dewbenry. Lowdesville. It has been isuggested that a newspaper be started in Lowndesville. Mr. Ellis Huckabne and mother visited the Promise Land Monday evening. One of the town boys, who hid flowers pinned all over his coat, went visiting all over town Monday night. It is said that be had been to tha Promise Land. Dr. A. J. Spper is painting bi-? house, Mr. Ellis Euckabee and sister, Miss Lillie, spent Ssturdav afternoon with the family of Mr. B, C Kay. Mr. and Mrs J. T. Latimer went to Ab beville Saturday. The third election for Town Council was held here Thursday. There was oniy one Warden to be elected, and it is now hoped that they will fx up the streets and side walks, and not take the abuse that the old one did The boys will have to walk a chalk line or it will take several doses of oothing syrup to right them. The LowndeJiville Democratic Club, No, 1, was reorganized Saturday. Dr. A. J, Speer was re elected president. Dr. A. J. Speer went to Abbeville Sun day. In the last is?ue of the Intelligencer we noticed that a writer replying to us for "Ellis," says we made three misstatements and attempts to correct them. In the Ar t misstatement tie says : "Swamp Fox nei ther wrote nor even Buggested one line or word of 'Ellis' reply to a rap given him in the Intelligencer of a week before." We never insinuated that "Swamp Fox" had anything whatever to do with the re ply, because he is hardly able to manage bis own affairs, but any one with common sense can see that "Ellis" is not the writer. In the second inisstatement he says : "He went over to one of his close neighbors (who had just returned from a visit to the young lady) to find out if she was com ing." That is positively untrue, and will refer "Ellis" to the Intelligences of the 22nd ult. for proof of the above assertion In the third misstatement he says, "That no such a thing as 'Ellis' being at work had ever baeu known before. We are glad to congratulate the writer on calling our attention to the matter, as we do re member seeing him?having on his collar, cravat and en fis? driving a horse hitched to a plow up the street last summer. Guess he was going to the parsonage. In conclu sion be says that his reply had been called forth more in defense of the young lady than himself, but we fail to seo any de fense whatever for the young lady, (the most beautifal and accomplished among bis acquaintances,) and very little for him. Hereatter we will not notice any reply from "Ellis," find if be attempts to do so ? ill take it for granted that it will be on account of ignorance. Touch-Me-Not. Lebanon News. The rain which the farmers have been wishing for so long has come at last, and every one feels grateful. The farmers have been resting awhile waiting on the rain, but I think they will have to make up lor lost time after it, or 'General Greene" will get the upper hand of them. Mrs. W. P.

Ms. Editob: I agr?e perfectly with roar suggestion to have a poultry show in Anderson this antumn. By all means let 38 have one. Our neighboring counties of Abbeville and Greenville hold them. Don't let us be behind. Fancy poultry breeding has reached large proportions in tbe South, in the last 4 or 5 years, and is Increasing rapidly. We have competed with Northern exhibitors and have carried diT a generous share of tbe blue and red ribbons. We have as good stock in South Carolina as there is in the world, and some of the finest of this fine stock is in Ander son and adjoining counties. Mr. E. C. Conner, of Cokesbury. is a notable breeder, having carried off first on Langshan Cock orel at the Boston poultry Bhow last win ter. South Carolina hau taken first prize at several Southern poultry shows. There is some fine stock in Anderson County, that we are sure would be a revplation to the lay people of the county. Why not bave a column in tbe Intelligencer de voted to poultry culture ? J. F. Killebbew. Btllon, S. C. Editors Intelligencer: I have had ray attention called to an article in last week's Intelligences advocating a poul try show, (aay next fall.) I write this to say that I am in sympathy with tbe move meat and wish it success. I have had some experience in the matter of poultry shows and can see no plausible reason why a very entertaining show cannot be held here. I kne w of enough fanciers in reach of Anderson to get up a very creditable dis play of thoroughbred poultry. I feel sure our sister counties of Abbe ville, Oconee, Greenville and Pickens will lend a helping hand A poultry show is a wonderful educator and stimulate-) the "boys" to greater dili gence in breeding fancy stock. . L?t'n have an expression from all who feel an interest in fancy poultry and pet stock. If tb s meets the approval of tbe fra ternity what say to having a meetiog some time in the near future, (say Salesday in July or Auftust.) and consult and consider tbe propriety of tbe thing. What say you geotlemen ? Fraternally, John L. Jolly. Denver, 8. C. Belton Items. Belton Democratic Club No. 2 met Sat urday afternoon and elected delegates to the County Convention.

The Democratic club of tbis place elected a fall silver delegation to the county Convention which met last Mon day. We have had glorious seasons in tbis section and every thing is growing and expanding and spreading?candidates as well us crops. Mr. Editor, you see how quick Gen. Weyler turned Rev.

The base ball team of Pendleton is now booming as usual.

The Lebanon boys had the honor to carry off the scores, while Pendleton boys had tbe honor to carry off the girls, flowers and complimenta. The Pendleton boys are surely in it with tbe girls down there, if not with the scorers, although we are more than anxious to meet the boys again, and and are expecting to bave a game with them on Saturday, May 9th, with tbe Leb anon boys and not with Trinity.

As has already been stated the increase of the amount appropriated for pensions from $50,000 to $100,000 has caused many thousands of people to make applications and hundreds of them are bound to be disappointed. There are hardly enough application blanks to supply the demand. The Comptroller General estimates that there wilf be at least 7,000 applications, whereas, under the old law, there were only about 2,000 who received pensions, Iustead of being increased, there is every probability that the number of pomilon ers will be decreased While the law doubled the appropriation, it divided pensioners and amounts they were to re ceive in certain classes, which, if paid, would soon dispose of the the appropria tion entirely even in one class. The law also provides that where a man htis n net income of ?100 yearly from any source he shall not have a pension, but the -e are a great many who have that income and more yearly, who are making applica tions. None such will receive pensions, but there seems to be a general idea that almost every Confederate soldier can come in, while, as a matter of fact, the number of pensioners will be increased very little, if at all. It it is increased cer tainly pensioners will not get what is provided for in the Act, because the board is allowed to scale it down which will have to be done it there is much of an increase in the numbers.?Columbia Register. mm ? m ?
