THiE ~ANENG TIlE , WEDNiESDAY, FEBRUA;Y "c, 1$,R S. A. NETTLES, Editor. THE PENSION LAW INJUST. The pension law as passed by the last legislature, is entirely too unjust and too discYiminating in its nature to give satisfaction. Furthermore, it was rushed through with such a haste and a thorough disregard of its re sults, as should characterize none but the careless and headstrong. It is a law, to say the least of it, that adds little honor to the State of South Car olina. We believe in a pension law, and wish'the State was rich enough to give every man who served in the war (and there were few old enough who did not) a liberal pension, but the law as it now stands savors too much of supporting mendicancy. We could cite a number of cases of honest hard working men, who lost a limb in the war, but who, nothing daunted, return ed home and by hard and persistent labor have accumulated some little property. They had too much man hood to sit down idly and pose on a lost limb. They have acquired five hundred or a thousand dollars, or pos sibly even more, and they are yet working hard and constantly to sup port themselves and family. On the other hand, we know lazy, idle, shift less men, and some of them immoral in their character, who are unwilling to work, but loaf around the country; who have accumulated no property,' but go in debt whenever they can, and never pay a debt if they can avoid it; who are unworthy the confidence and esteem of their fellow men. Ac -cording to the law, the first class, who are really deserving of assistance, be cause they are willing to help them selves, must go without one cent of aid; while this second .class, the lazy, good-for-nothing fellows, are the ones to receive assistance. We do not be lieve it is right. If the pension is to be given, give to all alike; or else re strict to the few, very few, in each county, who are really unable to earn a support, and who ought to be assist ed, if not by the State, then by their neighbors. There are men, wounded Confederate, soldiers, who, we care not what sentimental gush may be uttered in their favor, are unworthy the support and sympathy of the commnnity. Because not a few are poor and do not support themselves is not because they served in the war and lost a limb, but because they are too intolerably lazy and worthless to work. They would never have been of any account, even if they had nev erheard of a war. The bill was rushed through in a great hurry, and $50,000 appropriated or paying theso pensions, but by the way the applications are pournng in, this amount will not be suflicient to pay one-fourth of those who would be entitled to receive its benefits. There will probably be a hundred clamants from this county alone. The Pension Commission see the dan ger ahead, and have issued instruc tions that no more applications are to be sent to them for the present. Bot the law is passed, and what is to be done about it ? The Commission will have to do some close thinking and inancenvenng. The February number of the .Ecectic is on our table replete with ejellent articles on a variety of subjects. The spirit of Darwin's work and life is presented with graphic force. It will be read with irstby those who are followers of t evolution doctrine. The Eelectic is published by E. R. Pelton, 25 - Bond Street, New York. Terms $5 per year; single numbers, 45 cents; trial subscription for 3 months, $1. Jef ID. Lawrence, of Sumter county, James Tozier, of Sumter, As bury H. Perkins chairman board of County Commissioners of Lar'caster county, and one Dr. Prior of Union county, have each recently been gaining considerable notoriety by at tempting to buy counterfeit money to pass off on their neighbors. The New York police, however, caught -up with each of them, and stopped their little game. We had intended giving particulars last week, but oth -er matter of more importance crowd ed it out last week and this. We will publish it next week. The saw mill of Mr. John T. Bryan, at Cleveland on the Georgetown and -Lane's Railroad, was burned on Jan u ary 29. Loss $800: no insurance. William and Vincent- Fulinore both colored are in jail at Kingstree charg ed with the burning. The six children of Lester Single lary, a colored man, living on Mrs. Margaret Lee's plantation, in Claren don County, near the Williamsburg line,were burned to death on the night of the 26th nit. Singletary and his wife locked the children in their house and went to church. During their absence the house was burned to the ground and the children perished in the flames. Their ages ranged from thirteen years to sixteen months. The next day the negroes gathered all the bones that remained - and buried them in one grave. It a lbe remembered that the old bell in the Episcopal Church, in Sum ter was taken down to make cannon for the Confederate Army. Last week Capt. T. B. Johnston, who fought against us as a Union .soldier, sent his check for $50 to aid in buying a new bell to supply its place. Truly the bitterness of war is passing away, and Capt. Johmston's gift is duly ap Treasurers Report of Disbursements of County and School Funds for the FiscaI Year Ending October :31, 188T. on Or ders of County Commission ers and County School Con Iissioner ' COUNTY TAX.
