Tinge the Pension Rolls.
At a meeting of Catawba Camp, U.
C. V., held at council chamber on
Friday evening last, it was resolved.
"That to comply with Section 5, Arti
cle III, of the constitution and by
laws of the United Confederate Vet
erans, which reads, 'Every camp will
be required to exact of each applicant
for membership in its ranks satisfac
tory proofs of honorable service in
the army or navy of the Confederate
States, or honorable discharge or re
lease therefrom,' a committee of five
members, consisting of Comrades
Shcrfesee, Davis, White, Man-hall and
Jones be appointed to carry it into
eifeet by each member handing in a
written record of their services ; said
record to be passed on by the other
four members, and as soon as the com
mittee's records arc accepted that they
call a meeting of the camp and invite
applications for membership. No ap
plication to be consid?r?e, unless ac
companied by the applicant's military
or naval record on blank applications
furnished by the camp for that pur
pose, and if accepted application to
be written in triplicate?one copy in
record book, one copy to be placed by
the adjutant in some bank vault for
safe-keeping, and the third copy to be
retained by applicant for the use of
his family.
The reasons for this action arc ex
plained in the remarks of Comrade
Louis Sherfesec, who in offering the
resolution eaid : Our membership is
too large and scattering. The best
interests of the division and associa
tion will be served by having small
camps in each community or settle
ment. Large camps arc too expensive
to the fey w?o attend meetings and
have to bear all the expenses. Mem
bership of camps should not be scat
tered, but should be composed of
veterans living in the community in
which the camp is located, so that
meetings be more frequent and better
attended, and as a natural result there
will be more interoit in the associa
tion. Large camps prevent the for
mation of settlement or community
camps, which with our present regi
mental organization Bhould be encour
aged.
It is very important that each and
every veteran should be a member of
some camp in the County in which he
resides, and it is equally as important
for him to have his record on file with
his camp for the following reasons :
There is no doubt in my mind but
that there is now on the State pension
roll names of men, or object?; who call
themselves men, who deserted our
ranks in 18G1 and 18G5, and who arc
now drawing money that the State in
tended for her true sons, and I think
it is only a matter of time with our
present camp and regimental organi
zation when the State will turn over
the pension fund to be distributed by
a committee of veterans from each
County, and to prepare for that if :for
nothing else it is absolutely necessary'
for each and every veteran to fill out
and turn over to some camp his mili
tary or naval record. So that the pen
sion committee with that record and
his company-roll now on file at office
of Confederate historian at Columbia,
or the Capital of the State in which he
enlisted from, can get his true status.
To show the necessity for this, there
are to-day, I am sorry to say, not hun
dreds but thousands of sons and
daughters of veterans in our State who
RightRemedy
The disastrous effects of potash and
mercury, which the doctors always pre
Bcribe for Contagious Blood Poison,
should convince anyone that these are
not the proper remedies for this horrible
disease. Instead of forcing the poison
from the system, and getting rid of it
forever, potash and mercury only bottle
it up, and by driving in the outward
appearance of the disease, induce the
patient to think he is being cured. But
he sees his mistake before long, when
his joints become stiff and his bones
ache?often hi? hair will fall out by the
handful and ?l: he follows the doctor's
advice and continues to take his medi
cine, his finger nails will dropoff.
There is a cure for this destructive
disease, though no doctor has ever yet
cured it.llOf course they may pronounce
a patient^cured,' but the disease ha3
never failed to'return, with increased
severity.? S.S.S. (Swift's Specific) is a
jpermanent cure, and is the only remedy
free from harmful ingredients. It is
the only blood remedy which is guaran
teed purely vegetable,
and for twenty years
its proprietors have
offered one thousand
dollars reward ;.- for
proof that it contains
^_ a particle of potash,
"s mercury or other min
" eral ingredient. ? *\
, Mr.W.R.Newman,
\?\ J^7 a a well-known young
w '2 ? man residing at
W.R. KKWaiAN. Staunt0D| ya., tried
various other treat-ments, but found no
relief until betook S.S.S. He writes:
" X was afflicted with blood poieon
and ; the best doctors did me no
good, though I took their treatment
faithfully. In fact I Beemed to get
worse all the while. I took almost every
so-called blood remedy, but they did
not seem to reach the disease and had
no effect whatever. I was disheartened
for it seemed that I would never be
cured. At the advice of a friend I then
took S.S.S. and began to improve,
continued the medicine and it cured me
completely, building up my health and
increasing my appetite. Although this
was ten years ago, I have never yet had
a sign of the disease to return."
Mr. E. L. Hite,
also of Staunton, had
the same disease,ana
his experience was
eimilar to the above.
He says :
"S. S. S. is cer
tainly far ahead of
all other blood rem->
edies,. for it cures'
cases i-they cannot
touch.* I was treated
by several good doc- .*? **
tors and took various blood remedies,
but they did me no good. I then took
S. S. S. and was cured completely and
permanently, for I have never been
troubled with the disease since. I have
recommended S. S. S. to others simi
larly afflicted, and have never known it
to fail."
S. S. S. is the right remedy for Conta
gious Blood Poison, because it goes di
rect to the seat of the disease and forces
it from the system. It will cure any
case of Cancer, Scrofula, Rheumatism,
Eczema, Catarrh or other blood disease
of the most obstinate nature. Remem
ber it is guaranteed
Purely Vegetable
and is the only blood remedy containing
no mercury, potash or other mineral.
Valuable books on the disease and ils
treatment will be mailed free to all who
address the Swift Specific Company,

in ? Now let the fathers fill out their

The Alaska Purchase.
Spain may have soon regretted the
sale of Florida, and France the sale of
the splendid empiee known in history
as "Louisiana"; but Russia surely did
not expect to regret the sale to this
country of half-frozen Alaska. She
sold it for $7,200,000. _ At the time it
was thought that Russia had the best
end of the bargain, although she
claimed she parted with Alaska be
oause of her friendship for this country,
and her belief that we thould control
American territory. The land thus
sold was held by right of discovery.
It was first seen by Captain Bering
(without the h), a Dane, employed by
Peter the Great. This was in 1741,
and Russia held it until its transfer
to us in 18G7.
Ever since that time it has attracted
attention. It has been a rendezvous
of prospectors. Its seal herds became
a source of wealth. Coal was soon
found. Valuable timber, in the
southwestern districts, was located,
followed by discoveries of silver and
gold, and even of petroleum?the un
kindlicst cut of all, for Russia is very
proud of her gushing petroleum wells.
Alaska is indeed a land of mineral
deposits. True, the Klondyke district
is over the line ; but the prospecting
that Alaska will soon be subjected to.
will doubtless lead to the finding 01
rich additional placers within the
boundary meridian.
Next season it is not at all improb
able that a single vessel will bring to
Seattle or San Francisco as much gold
as Secretary Scward bargained to pay
for all Alaska. We bought wealth
locked in by frosts, and American
skill, endurance and courage?working
perhaps under a cabin that serves at
the same time as dining room and
bedroom?have broken natures' locks
and brought to the use of mankind
the wealth that has been accumulating
ever since Alaska became dry land.?

Died For his Blaster.
When a man gives up his life for
another, posterity erects a monument
to his memory; but when a dog dies
that his master may live, men stop
and think, and John Walker, of Ro
solie, . J., was doing a lot of think
ing on Saturday night. lie was face
to face with death, and his dog had
adverted the blow.
Walker left his house early in the
morning for a stroll. His dog follow
ed him. Pie tried to drive him back.
Then master and dog started to walk
along the Jersey Central railroad
track? to Elizabeth.
Midway between the stations Walk
er met a heavy freight running rapid
ly eastward, making enough noise to
deaden all other sounds. Walker
stepped to the west-bound track. His
dog, which had been running ahead
after birds or loitering behind to make
short and noisy excursions into the
bushes, closed in on his master when
the train ncared him.
Walker was careless. He never look
cd behind him, and did not hear nor
sec the Royal Blue express. Brake
men on the freight train shouted
warnings. The engineer of the ex
press train blew his whistle, with
avail. It was too late to stop, a
though the engineer was trying to d
so. Walker plodded on.
When the train was nearly on top
of Walker his dog sprang at him with
a growl. Walker turned, saw the train
and stepped aside in time to avoid tl
cars as they swept past him with
roar. Not so with the dog. The pi
lot of the engine struck the anim
and tossed him aside.
When Walker recovered his senses
he looked for Iiis dog. The faithful
ar.inial lay dying, with his back broken
Walker carried the dog to the sid
of the track. The brute licked h
hand, feebly wagged his tail and die
iu his master's arms.
Practical Test.
Dom Pedro, the last Emperor o
Brazil, was a man of practical turn of
mind, as the following story told of
him by a Spanish newspaper wcllillus
trates :
Ile once gave an audience to ayouri
en gineer, who came to show him a new
appliance for stopping railway cn
gines. The Emperor was pleased with
tho idea, but wished to put ii to
practical test.
"Day after to-morrow," said he
"have your engine ready. We will
have it coupled to my saloon car an
start. When going at full speed
will give the signal to stop, and then
we shall sec how. your invention
works."
At the appointed time all was in
readiness. The Emperor entered hi
carriage, the young inventor mounted
his engine, and on they sped for sev
eral miles as fast as they could go
There came no signal, and the engi
neer began to fear that the T:,-opcror
had fallen asleep. Suddenly the en
ginc came to a sharp curve around the
edge of a cliff, when, to his horror, on
the track directly ahead of them the
engineer saw a huge boulder.
lie had just sufficient presence of
mind to turn the crank of his brake
and pull the engine up within a cou
ple of yards of the fatal block.
Here the Emperor put his head out
of his car window and demanded to
know the cause of the sudden stop
page. The engineer pointed to the
rock, and much to his surprise, Doni
Pedro began to laugh.
"Push it on one side and go on,"
he isaid calmly.
The engineer obeyed, and kicking
the stone, was still further astonished
to see it crumble into dust before hin..

block of starch which the Emperor had

History records two instances in
which becs have been used in warfare
as weapons against besieging forces.
The first is related by Appian of the
siege of Thcmiscyra in I On tus by
Lucullus in his war against Mithri
datcs. Turrets were brought up,
mounds were built and huge mines
were made by the Romans. The peo
ple of Thcmiscyra dug open these
mines from above and through the
holes cast down upon the workmen
boars and other wild animals and
hives or swarms of bees.
The second instance is recorded in
an Irish manuscript in the Bibli
thcrjuc Royal, at Brussels, and tells
how the Danes and Norwegians at
tacked Chester, which was defended
by the Saxons nnd some Gaelic aux
iliaries. The Danes were arrested by
a stratagem, but the Norwegians,
sheltered by hurdles, tried to pierce
the walls of the town?when, "what
the Saxons and the Gaicdhil who were
among them did \vas to throw down
large rocks, by which they broke down
the hurdles over their heads." "What
the others did to check this was to
place large posts under the hurdles.
"What the Saxons did next was to
put all the beer and water of the town,
into the caldrons of tne town, to boil
them and spill them down upon those
who were under the hurdles, so that
their skins were peeled off. The rem
edy which the Lochians applied to this
was to place hides outside on the hur
dles. What the Saxons did next was
to throw down all the beehives in the
town upon the besiegers, which pre
vented them from moving their hands
or legs from the number of bees which
stung them. They afterward desisted
and left the city.
A Sweet Revenge.
It is claimed by a writer in the
Cleveland Plain Dealer that this story
originated in Cleveland, a claim which
may very well be true, because Cleve
land?and especially the East End?
has more precocious children to the acre
than Boston could boast of in her
palmiest days. This particular pre
cocious infant lives on a pretty cross
street in that favored locality. Not
long ago she was troubled with an
annoying and persistent toothache.
Finally her mamma took her to a den
tist, and the dentist interviewed the
troublesome tooth.
After examining it, he told her that
the best thing to do under the circum
stances was to have the tooth extracted,
as it contained a very large cavity,
and this was the scat of the trouble.
Bracing herself firmly in the chair,
she bade him go ahead and remove the
acher. After the operation was over,
she carefully wrapped the tooth in
paper, and declared she would take it
home.
Next day her mamma noticed that
she was an unusually good girl, and
upon looking around located her in a
window scat, industriously poking su
gar into the cavity of the extracted
tooth. Her mother demanded the
cause of this strange proceeding.
"Why," she said, "I'm pokingsugar

THE BOYS, at

Nurseries on Railroad Trains.
Now comes the travelling nursery to
ake its place alongside the barber
hop, bath room, etc, on our fast
rains. The traveling nursery is to
ake up about the same amount of
pace as the private staterooms of the
rdinary sleeping car. There will be
, saving of space of several feet, how
ver, as the wide seats on the sides of
he st&terooin below the berths are not
leeded in the nursery, being replaced
iy ottomans and tiny easy chairs scat
ered over tho floor. In this way any
[anger from sudden starts or sharp
urves is obviated. A further protec
ion against injury to the little ones
ho walls of the nursery are heavily
)addcd and the floor thickly carpeted,
;o that bumps and bruises will be
iltogethcr avoided. At each end of
he compartment and fiuily secured
iro two cosey cots on which the
imaller children lie and watch the
james of the older ones. Each car
lontaining the nursery attachment will
iarry a matron or nurse, who will be
(elected with a special reference to
iruusc and care for her little charges,
tnd she will have at hand supplies of
nilk, cookies and other edibles and
Irinkables dear to the infantile heart.
She will also have charge of a medicine
:hest containing a full assortment of
,he simpler remedies for childish ail
nents. A miniature toy shop is an
ther adjunctof the travelling nursery,
md it will contain everything from
}aby rattles to picture books and fairy
;ales. Nothing, in short, will be
nissing that would add to the comfort
)r amusement of the young travellers.
?Railway Review.
? A good old Presbyterian elder,
who was the possessor of a very long
nose, once got that prominent feature
scratched, whereupon he called to his
3on for a piece of court plaster, and
ae brought to him the paper stamp
from the end of a spool of cotton
thread. The next day being Sunday,
the old gentleman took his accustomed
place in front of the pulpit. The
minister arose, announced his text
ind, looking down, read on his elder's
Qose, "Warranted 200 yards," and it
was several moments before he could
proceed with his sermon.
? John Hatchett, of Brown Coun
ty, Ind., found a $1,000 pot of gold
join while ploughing. It is supposed
that his father, who was rich, buried
it.
? When a man is so mean and
cranky that nobody wants to have
anything to do with him, his wife
always says he has a peculiar dispo
sition.
Chinese Preventive of BablesJ
A French Missionary in China wit
nessed recently how two of his carriers
were bitten by a rabid dog, and was
very much worried about it. Several
Chinese who happened to be there told
him that his worry was absolutely un
called for, since they had an undoubt
edly safe preventive against the poison
of a rabid dog taking effect, and to
prove the assertion five Chinamen who
had been bitten in March of last year
by a mad dog were presented to the
missionary. He found that Chinamen
eat of the raw liver of a mad dog after
being bitten, and if they partake of
this within a given time after the ac
cident it is said they will not be sub
ject to hydrophobia. It is curious
that Plinius in his natural history
recommends eating the liver of a mad
dog, if bitten, as raw as- possible, and
they who would not swallow the liver
raw should have it cooked and drink
the broth therefrom. It is not posi
tively known whether this remedy is
efficacious, but it appears tobe worthy
of investigation, particularly since
this seems to be the actual beginning
of the isopathic treatment since per
fected by Pasteur and Koch.
? ? Judge down in Kentucky de
serves to go to the head of the class.
He charged a jury the other day as
follows: "If you believe what the
counsel for the plaintiff has told you,
your verdict will be for the plaintiff ;
but if, on the other hand, you believe
what the defendant's counsel has told
you, you will give your verdict for the
defendant. But if you are like me
and don't believe what either of them
said, I don't know what you will do."
It is needless to say that, having full
confidence in the Court, the jury dis
agreed.

PEERING IDEAL MOWERS
HAVE real Rollerand Ball B<.aring> hud ...?; u>f>rc urn'elidila ha&tily applied for
the purpose of claiming ''Roller Be .rhius.'' Tlitic arc- Movers on the market
claiming "Roller Bearings liko the Deerinp," but ?l:?ir cluini is ft?l.?a and misleading.
They have timply one set of rollers at er.cii end ..f tlin "main sbafi, .vnere they aro the
least service, because the sbaft turns slow .?, ruller? ?m the gear shaft where tbey
are most needed becau-.e of the speed with which ii revolves, mid no Ball Bearings at all
Compleio Deering Roller Bearing in detail. (Reduced by Photograph.)
Worse still, their rollers are held in behind ratcbetf hubs, which are forced onto
the shaft by hydraulic pressure, there to s'ay until nn equal or greater pressure is ex
erted to get them off. Such Bearings are sure to gum up, because she rollers fit into
holes drilled into end plates instead of lying loosrly in the case or frame as do the pat
ented Deering Rollers ; and when those Rollers do gum up it is good bye Mower, for
even if you do succeed in smashing tho ratched hubs off the axle the new hubs that
that Company will sell you at 500 per cent profit will have to bo ma'ie Ioofe nough to
slip over tho axle, where thev will be heb) alone b.y a tiny pin thut is sure to shear off
Remember, that the compe:ing Company that is now talking ho loud a^ont its ' R dler
Bearings" spent tens of thousands of dollars to fight the roller bearing idea ever since
1803, when Deering came out with them, and at last was forced against its will to
adopt hastily some construction which would permit the ine of tha magic words,
"Roller Bearings " Como to our Store and we will be glad to explain tho d fference.
