Each side in the war in thc oast is accusing the other of violating thc laws of civilized warfare. Accusations in each instance arc doubtless true. A Missourian sued his wife for a divorce because she kept thc hens in thc house. With eggs at recent prices, the good woman was hardly to blame if she kent the hens in a safe. For presidential nominee .Judge Parker, of New York, seems to be in thc lead so far. Thc New York democ racy declares for Parker and in na tional politics, what New \ ork says, generally goes. Gen. Stephen 1?. Lee, commander, has issued orders for the reunion of of Confederate Veterans at Nash ville, Tenn., the 14th, 15th and 16th of June. As usual, Audersou Coun ty will bc well represented at the re union. The Panama canal will be built, and the sooner thc better for this country. It will cost an immense sum of money, and yet when thc ad vantages to commerce and defense are considered thc expenditure will seem insignificant. mM +~mm Last winter was so severe through out the northwest that thousands of thc farmers in that section itisreport ed are already making their prepara tions to move into tho Southern States. South Carolina would extend a cordial welcome to them, and we hopo some of them will como down here. Tho statistical atlas of the United States, recently issued, show that the average number of persons in a fam ily has declined during the last fifty years from 5.G to 4.7. When all tho changes in the factors that make up the population are considered, this does not seem to bc such an alarming decrease, after all. An American professor has just published tho results of his Btudy of 10,000 suicides during the last ten years. Among other interesting points he finds that the favorite agc for sui cide is between 35 and 40. The popu lar day is Sunday for women, and Monday for men. Thc favorite meth od is shooting. William H. Hearst does not think anything of establishing a big newspa per wherever ho thinks it would ac * complish something. Ho is said to be contemplating the establishment of a large newspaper in St. Louis to boom his presidential aspirations prier to tho assembling of tho national demooratic convention in that city in July. In planting your crop for 1904 bo nure to plant thc largest corn crop you ever raised. You will need it be fore the year is paso. Wars and ru mors of wars may come and go; and the price of cotton no man can fore know. But oom and meat and flour and lard and ?>eef and other things eatable will be wanted in increased quantities. It is being painted out that Japan is as muoh of a land grabber as Rus sia, and that if she wins in this war she will take possession of Manchuria. To tell the truth all the nations of the world in this day and time are land grabbers. Even tho United States, onoe thought to be the very opposite of land grabbers, have degen erated in that respect and are in the land grabbing business as thoroughly as any of them. . mm ? ? The Amerioan Bible Sooiety an nounces that the Bible is now circu lated in the languages spoken by sev en-tenths of the population of tho globe. A fact BO majestic and grati fying must be pondered a little before we can fully oomprchend it. The pop ulation of the earth is estimated by the best informed geographers to be about 1,486,000,000. Seven-tenths of this would be over one billion (1,011, ,000,000 ) The Bible Sooiety eays that one oentury ago only two-tenths of tho earth's inhabitants had the Bible in their own tongues, so that within 100 years the Bible has been translated into tho languages of one half of tho earth's inhabitants (744, 000,000), which is nearly ten times the ? population of the United Stales. / "We hear muoh about democracy ia these days," says the Hartford Times. "Will there over be any bet ter definition of demooracy than to say that its main object must be to evolve the best, human character, the highest human efficiency, tho greatest human happiness? Wo do not believe that the democraoy of the twenty-first century or the twenty-sec ond will be in any respect an improve ment on the democraoy of the declara tion of independence, the domooraoy of Thomas Jefferson." Ii is io this orig- ? i lal ideal thai the party is now rc-j timing, after having been deluded by the false got].- of free silver and popu- I - lisni. So long as this ideal is para mount io thc party it has scarcely ever ; failed of success. At other times it has failed signally. j Trying to Get Pay for Confederate Sid Arms. Washington, April il.-Much inter- ' cst i* felt among the Confederate sol- < iliers in the elim t of Representative < .Joll?n,un of .South Carolina, to secure i tor them pay for side arms, horses ? ami baggage taken from them hy thu * Union soldiers nf ter the surrender at N Appomattox, m violation ol tim Con federate soldiers1 paroles. An Act was I passed by the "?Tili congress to author- I i/e and direct tlx wai department to pay these claims. Mr. Johnson re- I? quested the newspapers ol thc Fourth ? J District to publish this law, in order that, every Cuni? derate moldier who) had a claim might present it. To as sisl thc old soldiers, he visited several portions ol'the district and contened with and advised them about the pre,- j ' parution of theil papers. In doini; this work Mr. Johnson dis- i \ covered that many Confederate sol- I diers never received any formal writ ten paroles. As the Act passed by the jiTlh congress applied only to .soldiers , who wens lormally paroled, thc war department construed it to apply to horses used in the anny service. Re cently Mr. Johnson introduced in tho OjSth congress a hill authorizing and directing the quarter-master general to pay Confederate soldiers ami citi zens of tim Confederate States for horses, provisions, and all other prop erty taken from them by union sol diers, alter the surrender at Appomat tox. In arguing in support of his bill be fore the wur claims committee, Mr. Johnson pointed out that if the gov ernment lelt under obligations to pay Confederate soldiers, who were tor umlly paroled, the obligation was equally us strong in favor ot' those w ho wer? never lormally paroled. Some soldier? were at homo on Bick leave, some were on detached service, etc. All these wero not formally paroled. Ho argued further that if tho govern ment, after thirty-seven yenrB, felt constrained by a high moral obligation to pay the soldier for the horse used in the anny service, the obligation was equally as strong to pay for the horse used in making a support for his wife and children. As for widows and non combatants, tho highest sense of moral ity and justice against thegovernmeut taking their property without compen sation. The war claims committee bas the bill under consideration. It is certainly meritorious and its passage would do justice to and help many poor people in the South. The introduction of tbiB bill and the crtort on tho part of Representative Johnson to secure its passage, show that he is alive to the interests of his people, and ia on the lookout tor op portunities to serve his constituents.
