rConfederates to be Pplf.
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. Also considerable {
detailed information is required to j
establish these claims, and getting j
them properly presented and acted
upon by tho department requites 1
tun..
"In caao the officer or soldier j
frpiM whom the p operty was taken j
baa died, hia wife, if living, has h j
claim. If Hhe ia dead, his children.
If there be neither wife nor child
living, then his parents, or either
of tliein, if one be dead.
"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.

Qaffney's Tin Mine Still Big Success.
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. While

in the United Slates, this iB the
richest bo far discovered.
The valuutile property is owned
by AI r. S. S. Ross, of Gaflfney.
Thro 11 uh his kindness the New*
man was shown over the mine. 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. The '
! tine particles be<ng secured by a ;
procesa of sifting, somewhat re- j

Heretofore in making out the
report^ of the minerals of the Uni'
ted StHtes the Department of the
Interior has always left tin as a
blank, as there whs not enough
produced to deserve mention. This
is no longer the ease as the present
mine has passed the experimental
stage and with flattering prospects
for future development.
While the vein here seems to be
richer than anywhere else, there
are well defined tin outeroppings

Keep up Your Energy.
Never allow y?>nr physical standard
to drop. Keep up your energy
Walk as if your were somebody
and were going to do something
worth while in the world, so that
even a strangor will note your
hearing and mark your superiority.
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. You
don't want to give people the impression
that jon are discouraged
or that you are already fallen to
the rear. Straighten up, then I
Stand erect! Be a man! You are
a child of the Infinite King. You
have royal blood in your veins
Emphasize it by your bearing. A
man who is conscious of hie kinship
with God and of his power
and who belioves thoroughly in
himeelf walks with a firm vigorous
step, with his head erect, his ohin
in, his shoulders thrown hack and
down, and his chest well projected
in order to give a large lung capac
ity. He in the man who does
things. ;
You cannot aspire or accomplish
ureal or noble things ro long
as you asnume the attitude and
bearing of a coward and weakling.
If you would be noble and do noble |
things you mtiBt look up. You
were made to look upward and to

A Christmas Dinner of *64.
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. We re- j
member we had beautiful Deoeni- |
ber weather and being idle \he ;
boys passed away the time in vn- |
rings ways, though mostly at ball
playing, I suppose it was the old- '
time bull-pen, town ball, etc. I
think 1 have seen two or three
thousand men (flaying at one time. |
During those pretty days we.
noticed Gen. 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. This ere-:
ated no little gab among the soldiers.

swapping lies with him. 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

Money . whs more plentiful than I
grub at tlifit time, but we were!
doomed to disappointment, as we
will show. The 25th of December
CMine around and our friends, (
the enemy over the way. seemed i
to be holding a general jollification
meeting. Such a tiring of cannon, '
tooting of horns and beating of:
diums. and .Tint Epps snid he believed
Grant hfjd paid off his men
in drums and every man was beating
on his drum with both hands.
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. Well, we j
remember we had only one dollar, j
and Jim F.hIM tri*>d tn liorrnur il 1

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

THE CAREER OF A CLOCK, j
An Address by James Hampton Lee
to the Fort MiJ| Baptist Sunday i
School,
Friondg of former years and friends of
today:
After toil venm r?f toll ??wl "*

success and failure, of battles lost and ,
won. it gives me groat pleasure to greet 1

truth
To a sadder, but wiser man;
A nd where'er he goes until life's close,
He'll proclaim it as best he can.
1 miss many old -tim* faces that used
to be here when I was working with
you, but I know you are all here for the
same purpose as they used to bo. It has !
been almost impossible for me to realize
that 1 am not still anions you as in
the dear old days gone by. Somehow
I have never* l>eon quite able to get rid
of rjje idea that I am still a boy, although
whenever I cyme homo they remind
me that my hair is tinged with
gray. And I hope that I cau always
feel that 1 am something of a boy.
It may interest yon to know that Imn
a member of the Young Men's Bible
Class of a big Baptist church in New
York City. The class is taught by the
son of the richest mau in America.
John P. Kockofeller, Jr-, and tho class
has about 500 members. Now, I think,
if this rich man feels the need of the
Bible, we jmor people ought to need it
and take time to study it, too.
As I don't, know when I will have
auotlicr chance to ttpeak to you,
I want to Jell you toduy tho story o*! u
clock. And (lie clock means me.
To be accorded a lienriug here, inclines
me to the opinion that those who ;
knew me as a boy still have some regard
for mo and some faith in ine as a man.
My dea-, good father always taught i
mo that. I should lie ashumcd to plow a
false, crooked furrow, and my couRcieuco
has always told me that I should
aiso bo ashamed to speak or writ^i a
false, crooked sentence.

limn long since, she still sweetly writes
me, or she still tenderly whispers, "Bo
it good boy."
Truly lift> wit h no mother to live for
Is not to a child lialf so grand;
Oh, what would each orphaned one
give for
One touch of her hand!
How often she tenderly kissed us
.lust utter we'd made some mistake;
Oh, should we not (Heaven utsistus!)
Be good for her sake?
There uro pages?stained, blotted
pageH from the book of my life?which
I might hold up here today forexplanu
tion or review; but uot everything that j
happens in this life rau be explained.
There are some things "which we eau
never hope to undorstrnd uutil we meet i
beyond tha-border.
Life ou earth's given up to wis-giv- !
??K?
Learning things we just can't understand,
And dying simply denotes living
In u different laud.
I|have only this to say at this time
in palliat ion "of my liiauy mistakes in
life: The In st clock ever madois liable
to got out of order. Wbeu and while it
is out of order nobody has any faith in
the clock, either, therefore, the cloclf
can be thrown away?utterly destroyed
?or else it can be repaired. After it is
repaired it must be tested. If it runs as
smoothly aud correctly as before it
broke down, then it is a olock of value
?a clock worth having. Call me a
clock, if you like?just an ordiuary, i
moderate-priced clock. Then admit?as j

"Ah." I hoar you say, "thore stands |

Elaiuly that it is onco more capable of

to ask that the clock repaired be eonsid- !

I thank your superintendent for giviug
me this opportunity of expressing
my sentiments, f can assure you all
that I huv? nlwnvg tried to be true to !

failed, it was unintentional. I have
been devoting myself to ohurch work ,
in New York, ns a private in tho rear j
ranks I urn to pay as much as I may of
my debtR to my country, my friends
and to my parents before I die. Parents
come first, but what I say regarding my
debts to them applies to my other moral
obligations.
Can I over pay hall' of the debt that I
owe 1
To the parents who gave inr my
being?
On the answer to that there is no disagreeing?
Tho answer is No!
Can a child e'er repoy what its pa/routs
