The action of the Senate com- '
miltee in reporting favorably the
bill of Senator McComas granting
to Admiral Schley full pay instead
of two-thirds, or retired pay, of a
rear admiral, which hy no\y receives,
will meet with the general
approval of the country. In order
to get a favorable report on this
portion of the hill, Mr. McCoiuhh
was obliged to submit to the elimination
of that portion of hia
inenHiire which uks. rted that Sohlpy
was in, command at the battle of
{Santiago, apd in doing ho the Sen- j
ator remarked: "Well, it ia a fnet
and one that it require# no assertion
of C.'iigrofw to conyey to the
knowledge of the grateful people
pf the United States."
Recently we read in an pxchunge
a poem entitled "The Happy, i
Happy Farmer,"- in which the
writer undertook to create the inipresaiou
that farm life is one loi\g.
unbroken aeries of hardships and
drudgery, Such mny have been
the exporhspce of this ppfin writer, '

Ujerj employed rp^plnrly iu the

impdiinery the farmer is very much

severity of whose labor bus been
greatly reduced by labor-paving
an 1 labor-li^litenii|g machinery.
No ma i who ho largely depends
upon bis daily employment for hip
bread in so nun h hip owfi man as
the average farmer. ^\t the present
time (he diudgery of the farm
iH no greater than that of any other
employment.
A Northerner's Tribute to Lee.
Charles Frances Adnni->, of Jios- i
ton, in a speech delivered to col- ,
le^e students in Chicago a few |
days ngo, spoke of (Ion. K. E. Lee |
as follows:
"Lee represented, individualized,
all that was higlu st in the South
ern mind, nntl the Confederate
cause?loyalty to the State, keen
sens of honor and personal obli- j
nation, slightly include, the almost
patriarchal love of dependent fain- '
ily and home.
"I look forward with confidence '
to the t'.nje when the 1m>n?e etBgv j
of Hubert K. Lee mounted on his
charter, and with itj in igna pt
his Confederate rank, will, frpni
its predestal in the mil ion's capital,
look across the Potomac at his old
home at Arliugtpn.
'"When tl at time comes Lee's
monument will typify the histo.ieal
appreciation of all that goes to
make up the loftiest type of character,
military and civic, exemplified
in n opponent, onep dreaded,
but ever respected.
"Above all it will symholjze and
commemorate that loyal i ?:?: ptnnce
of the conse?pie|)ccp of d feat and
the patient upljuiliJing of a people
under new conditions by eonstitu.
tional means, which 1 lio'd to be
the greatest educational lesson
Americu has yet taught to a once
skeptical but now silenced world.''

The Amended Road Law.
The road law, as amended by |
the recent Legislature, is amended
in regard to the a^e specification,1
and henceforth those liable to road I
duly come within the range of
fiom eighteen to Hfty years, asI
heretofore, This amendment to
the law was opp >st?d, it is under- j
stood, l>y every member of the
Spartanburg county delegation in
the general assembly. The mem. j
bora of the house of represent a
tives from the lower portion of tin*
State voto.l solidly for this amend
ment on accouut of the fact that it
would render it possible to place
so many idle, loitering negro ;
youths at work in improving the
roads of the State. The law is;
uniform throughout the State, in
order to make it constitutional.

Amos Owen.
Says the Charlotte Observer:
"Whenever Amos Owen, the modest
proprietor of Cherry Mountain,
walks the streets of this city lie
immediately becomes the object
on which all eyes test. He is the
kind of a person who fought in the
Mexican war. 11c wears a short j
homespun coat, an open work
shirt, and a beaver with the furl
alwayH stroked the wrong way.
The heaver ott& on the corner of
his head, pointed bnc kward at an
angle of 45 degrees. The pattern
of tiic lint is more unique than
ninny oilier relies of the Inst, con- 1
tiny. Mr. Owen is never fins- '
trated. He is an quaint an nil old
spinning wheel a rare, simple old j
curio.
"'I nin tired of my own name,';

The Columbia Slain of Thursday
publishes the following synppyis
of the ep -eclieS made at Cain
den Wednesday by the different
Congressional candidate; mi this
d is'rid:
D. E. Finley was the first speaker.
H?h was a rock-ribbed Democratic
speech exploring I lie iuiqui
tous policy of the administration
now in power in the Philippines
aiill how expansion as represented
by the Louisiana Purchase differs
from tljp imperialistic policy of
the Iiepuhlicaus of today. His
record is public; the people of his
district know what lie has done
and therefore he asks re election,
feeling confident that with his experience
their interests will he better
ad van ceil in the future.
.1. W. Flqyd camp next. Born
and renn d in this county, lie therefore
is no stranger. lie deplores
ilie waste of the public money.
Slavery and taxes have always
been the (greatest ones!ion ever
before the public. The former
lias Ill-oil settled by the sword, the
latter is still the absorbing question
of the hour. He favored the
building and controlling of the
Isthmian canal by the United
States without the pirticipation of
aijy other nation. Promising that
if elected lie w ill brini* nq disgrace
upon the State which lias so often
honored him.
With T. .1 Strait it was through
out a ease of "1 told you so."
Poor ''Johnnie*' McLnuriu came
in for a full share of his abuse.
IJe was, and is. opposed to the J
whole Cuban bnsints-i. Cuba is
free today only in name?she is
controlled by the Piatt bill. The
Declaration of .Independence has
been torn into shreds and today
the government is in mid-ocenn
without a compass, llis hands
were tied when he was in Congress
ami therefore he could do nothing;
but now that ''the country has
come to its senses and McLaurin
has been relegated to tin* Republican
party where lie always belonged,"
be believes that he can
be of great service to his State,
which lie has always loved, lie
favors turning the islands over
to the Filipinos. We need men
in Congress who can listen as well
as speak. Those who listen well,
think a great deal, and vote right
always make the best congressmen.
He promises to make a warm cam.
paign.
\Y. B. Wilson came Inst. He
was at the d sad vantage of being
a stranger before a Kershaw audience.
lie only outlined how he
proposed to tight out this campaign
and that, too, to win. He
believes in practical politics and he
is in this campaign for results and
not recreation. He believes that
ho can do his State material service
in Congress, and stands on
his record, which h s always represented
all that is true, manly and
honorable, lie believes that it
will not be sound business policy
on the part of our government to
relinquish everything in the Philippines;
that a coal station should
at least be given us for all that we
have expended for them.
