The following interesting oircnInr had been received at the otficc of the adjutant general: "In 11102 congress made provision whereby payment might be He- i cured to artillery and cavalry offic- j era and private soldiers of the '\jnfoi|erate army for horses, sidefirms and hamrin/e taken from thorn by federal troops, at and after ; Ihe surrender, under orders, and in violation of the terms of sur- | render of the Confederate armies. In April, 1904. congress appropri- ! ated an additional $125,000 to pay | claims of this character, but required that all claims should be presented within two years, viz. by April. 1905, or be barred. "Claims must be proved to the ptdisfaction of the war department, pjider rules and regulations approved by the secretary, prescribing the eharacter of the proof required of the faets that have to be established. Naturally, in many instances, the witnesses nre scattered and time is required to get in toueh with them and secure their evidence.

"All claims should bo presented without de ny, because both the time for their presentation and the total amount appropriated for their payment, is limited. Should the total claims exceed $125,000, then claims, though go >d, and presented before I lie two years but not allowed before the appropriations became exhausted, could not either be allowed or paid without further action by congress.

It will dpubtlees prove of inter est to tlie render* of The ifewa to know that the largest till producing mine iu America is located almost within the corpoute limits of the thriving little city of Gatfney. South Carolina. Just n few months ago this mine w?s discovered, yet in that time 77,0<th pounds of tin ore has been taken out and shipped.

At pioront new machinery is bein? installed and the output will be materially increased hh soon as this is done, lint even now the superintendent states that they produce from six to ei^ht hundred pounds of ore per day. One oeculiar characteristic of this i ore in its high percentage of pure i ' tin, running over 72 per eent of : i pure metallic tin and ho fur 78 per j cent. The main shaft is at pres: ent bO feet deep tlie ore being j brought up in buckets of dirt, then ! nepernted by washing. Tt is black ' and very much resembles magnet it: iron, the moet striking difference | being that the tin is much heavier j than iron. In size the ore varies j i from tiny particles no larger than ] I grains of powder up to pieces i weighing JO and 12 pounds.

If you have fallen into a hahit of walking in a lindens. indolent way, turn right about face at once and make a change. You don't want to shuffle along like the failures. we often see Hitting around on park benches or lolling about the streets, with their hands in their pockets, or hunting intelligence offices and wondering why fate has been *0 hard with them.

Edit or Times: ^Ve hnvo noth- ' ine special to report.,. I tl ink our neighbors are generally well, ami ail seam to have "Christmas in d<? \ bones." The killing of hogs hup | been quite general of late in Gold , Hill ami v. e are just feasting on spare rilra, backbones, sausage, chiher lings, and last. but not least, is that grand old cracklin' bread. We have heard that rich folks i don't ent such as it. Well, we are sorry for the poor rich mortal*, or the rich poor mortals, an tin* ruse may he. They just don't know a i good thimr when they se it. Some are speaking of the bin dinners they are gojni; to liave ; next week, and this reminds us of a dinner we had- in 'f>4, 1 lie last yenr of the war, though ours wmr i not noted for its huge dimensions nor variety, in fact, it would take us much longer to tell all we didn't have than what we did have. So f we will 'tell you where -.we were I and what we were doing nud all about the dinner. Our corps, Dongstreet'a, wm in winter quarters, (i miles east of Richmond.

Longstreet pass our ! lines several days in suceession to an old house which stood about midway beeu ours and the enemy's I line, and there be was met by Gen. I Ord and some.'others.

We never knew what they were up to. It was not our business to know. But what about that dinner? Our daily rations at that time was one pint of corn tueal and five or nix ounces of meat. , S.ome two weeks before Christmas tne Examiner! and Dispatch, two of the principal dnilies published in Richmond,1 began to agitate the question of giving all of Lee's men around the city a dinner on Christmas day ! and all Seemed to * enter heartily into the project, committees were appointed, contributions called for and we heard of one man that gave twenty-five thousand dollars to ward making the dinner and others 4 11 J ? ? * im uiouBHiia, nve iiunarea, etc. | Money . whs more plentiful than I grub at tlifit time, but we were! doomed to disappointment, as we will show.

But w hat about that dinner? Well, being on the lookout, we noticed a wagon drive up to our colonel's j quarters and lenve a box. The captains of the regiment were notified to go and divide the pile, and on taking a view of it they decided there was about enough to feed one company and they drew straws for it arid we have forgotten which I was the lucky company, but ours got nothing. We were sadly die- j appointed, but had to endure it, for we couldn't cure it.

But we went nosing around seek- ! ing something for Christmas and j met with an old negro with a few ainall sweet potatoes, which he was selling at three for a dollar. We traded at onoe and Jim tried to borrow the potatoes next. Failing in that he tried to press them, but myself and two others who have long since passed away had thein potatoes, a couple of hard tacks 1 and a rasher of meat for di niter on Christmas day, 1864?40 years ago next Sunday.- This was our last Christmas day spent ntider that great and good man, Mais.
