Juocal News* WEDNESDAY, JUNE '.'M. 1901. Gone to the Poor ??ouse. PENDLETON, S. C., June 24, 1001. MK. EDITOR: A Confederate soldier iu thc Anderson County Poor House ! Just think of it! Here we ure in one of the most prosperous und progressiv? Counties in tho proud and patriotic State of South Carolina, housing one of her noblest heroes under the roofs along with thc ordinary iudigent pau per white people and our semi-burburic negroes, tho close descendants of our imported barbarians from the darkest spot on Cod's green earth-Africa. There is a stigma attached to the name "Poor House*' that is very crude | and distasteful to some of our moro progressive and enlightened minds, and some of us want to dodge it arni lop it off by calling it " The County Herne " but it i:; the poor ?souse at last. This is progress too cheap even fora! demagogue, and ii is patriotism too shady to -land ttn* pressure of tho I morning breeze, lei alone the tempest ! ol indignation that is brewing ii: tin- I minds ol' our peoplo in behalf of the men who left their happy homes and ' went out lo lace the mighty storms ?1 j lire ?ind lead of war in defence of our beautiful Southland. Ves, it is too tnit' that W. li. ?{ow- I laud, a relic of the 22nd S. C. Regi ment, and a survivor that passed through that "blow np" at Petersburg -perhaps the greatest cn lash oj,he ot war that was i ver enacted-is now in tin* Anderson Poor House. Hut wo could not expect anything better from some of our Representa tives who have stood up in our legisla tive halls and maintained heated de bates in behalf of our yellow dogs, and on another occasion advocated sending our wornout Confederate sol diers to poor houses, ami yet another of our prosperous law-makers refused to contribute ono dime to help buy an old soldier a cont. Cord people of Anderson County, noble citizens of chivalrous and patri otic South Carolina, can't wo do better than send men to Columbia who will wage hot debates in behalf of the yel low dog and his friends and then insult tho dignity even of our enemies in war by advocating the generosity of send iug our unfortunate heroes ol' the greatest war the world has ever known to the poor house to die? We think we can hear a great chorus of voices rise up from every battlefield, from Mantissas to Appomattox, coming out from the resting places of tho no ble heroes who fell there (while thc thrilling rebel yell was ringing) saying: "My Cod and my country, can it bc thus, that some of the last of our great army-our comrades left behind-will die in the poor house at home muong our kinsmen and friends instead of a Confederate Home in honor of om ?tame? Wot not that they too, had water ed tho soil by our sides with theirlifo's blood and saved tho honor of our bo loved State untarnished with the mem ory of allowing her soldiers to dio in tho poor house.'' Cod bless our Confederate womon ! If they could man the halls of our leg islature but a day a comfortable and lovely home for tho wornout Confed erate soldier would loom up in a day, that would make the hearts of every old soldier on either side of our Civil War leap with joy. In proof of this we turn to the grand Monument to tho Confederate dead now going up in Anderson, and again we turn to that beautiful and impressive demonstra tion made nt Pendleton on the 4th of May last, when a feast was spread with all tho viands and substantials that carried the old soldiers* fond recollec tions back to tho sixties-forty years ago. "The Lost Causo" is no more-4th of May at Pendleton nnd the laying of the corner-stone of tho Monument to thc Confederate dead nt Anderson killed it. Where is the reasonable mind thnt could look upon lhat long line of lovely girls and young women, all dressed in pure white miment-a cohort of terrestrial nngols, with How ers and wreaths for tho graves of tho Confederate dead, and not be impress ed with the truth, that he who could command the respect of such a lovely army had not won a great victory whether ho gained territory or not? Wc, the survivors of that great Con federate Army, may fail to do our full duty toward one another, and our sons may pass by onr standard of patriotism unnoticed as they would a iuilo-post iu their mad rush nfter tho dollar, and a dark cloud may hang over tho whole earth like a pall and completely ob scure the brilliancy of a noonday sun, but the women of South Carolina will never fail to do honor to the name of Confederate soldiers.

The heavy and eontinned rains which liav<> fallen recently have added much to the fanners' burdens and laments. The grass grew finely while the cotton seemed to stand still. As a conse quence the cotton liclds, where not worked out, look like meadows that were sown for hay. Above the terraces where the water stood for days tho cotton died out badly. Many acres that have not been thinned to a stand will have to be thrown out, for two reasons. 11 will hardly pay to cultivate it when there is so much other work? needing doing and bauds are so scarce. Some we hear of have fields of wheat standing dead ripe and cannot get it cut and harvested, oven the men with reapers and binders refusing to stop their mules from ploughing to cut it. Wc bearii one fanner say that he ex pected to have to cut and bind his oats himself, as it would be impossible to get extra hands, and thc hoes must not stop for anything. Where cotton and corn have been cleaned they look very well, and the past few days of hot sun shine is making them grow rapidly. A few fa nu eis have their grain cut and we hear ?he whistle of th? thresher ns it frails nu! the golden grain. Soon they will he eating apple dumplings made out of new flour. ('.Miels Will Cari ison and Walter McWhurtcr, of Clemson, arc home for the holidays, looking well. Mr. Arthur Erwin, who has a posi tion at Pel/.er, is at home for a few days.

II. l?rowne, of Fair deal, with their little son, Sidi, were welcome guests of relatives in Denver Saturday and Sunday. Mr. John L. Jolly paul a flying visit home Sunday. He is b"ill busy in Wal halla erecting a fine residence for our polite mail clerk, Mr. Neb Fant. The young people are looking for ward to a pleasant picnic at Jolly Springs Wednesday. Enjoy tho fleet, happy days of youth while you n ay, oh ! ye lads and lassies. They will soon pass away. I NCO?NITA. mm . tm Corner Creek News. It seems that wo are going to have plenty of rain. There has not been a week of sunshine altogether since April. Some people aro badly swamped in tho grass, while others have their crops in very good condition. Wheat and oats have been harvested and a real good crop will bo realized by our farmers, who, without a doubt, feel somewhat proud of making a liv ing at home once in a while. A very heavy rain descended in these parts last Friday evening, the hardest rain of the season so far. It did severe (lainage to bottom corn, tho creek get ting nil over the bottoms, destroying some and washing a part down flat on tho ground. We hear numerous com plaints nbout thc land being washed. Several bridges on the larger streams woro washed away. Misses Helen Lat im er, Maude and Lillian Kay, thvee of Broadmouth's most channing and fascinating young ladies, spent Saturday night and Sun day very plenanntly in our midst, tho guests of their friends, Misses Lizzie and Olivia Gassaway. Wayne Elgin, from Friendship, spent Sunday evening hero with friends. A. T. Robinson mid his sister, Miss Othella, of near Calhoun, visited tho family of G. A. Bigby Sunday. J. B.
