JOIN IN HONORING GRANT. Members of Congress Leave as Band Plays "Marching Through Ga." -Washington, April 27.?Southerners joined heartily today in the cele.bration of the 100th anniversary of the birth of General Grant. The gray uniform of Gen. Julius Carr, of North Carolina, commander! of the United Confederate veterans, was resplendent in the parade amidst the blue worn by more than a hundred veterans of the Grant Army of the Republic. The marine corps which headed the parade was commanded by Capt. ^ Thomas P. Cheatham, of South Carolina. The Sons of Confederate Vetewr.Mnh foil into line behind the 1 auo^ n<Mivu - ? ??? - --? veterans of the Union armies, was commanded by its adjutant, Frank E. Conway, Qf Alabama. During the unveiling southern con/ gressional delegations jomeo m tne ceremonies and the impression was that the representatives of the south were glad to honor the man whose army of 140,000 received the surrender of General Lee's^ 8,000 effective riflemen at Appomatox. It was generally said that Grant was magnanimous in dealing with the overpowered army of the south, and that it was fitting that southerners should on this - occasion do him honor. There was just one/ discordant note, j Towards the conclusion of the ceremonies one of the bands struck up "Marching Through Georgia." General Carr was noticed to fidget uneasily but he stood his ground. The South Carolina congressional delega- i tion, however, left the field' though unostentatiously. It is understood that the playing of this tune which extolls the burning of, a southern state was not according to programme. Designing children's clothes is the specialty of Mrs. Frederick D. Countiss, a society leader in Chicago. t- " ? . * ... w J * -H',t v FAIRFAX CHAMBER COMMERCE. W. M. Lightsey Chosen President and F. C.

Already plqms are on foot to bri*g about needed improvements and the.board will be busy along various other constructive lines. Fairfax has already become affiliated with the United States Touring Information bureau.

The camping ground will be shown on a big map to be printed by the above concern and will be distributed by various Fairfax business men. A glance at the interests represented by the board of directors, such as farming, merchandising, banking, manufacturing, health and sanitation, fraternal, educational, religious, good roads, contracting and home building, real estate, cooperative marketing, hog raising and poultry raising, postal service, advertising and civic betterment, will convince even the casual observer that everybody and everything around Fairfax will revive with such splaedid boosting.

Gilbert Pearson, pres dent of the Associated Audubon s< cieties who returned last week fro] South Carolina, where he organize a school campaign to arouse sent ment against Killing songDiras. "Heavy mortality among the 2 most numerous kinds of songbirc has nearly wiped out many' speci< in South Carolina," said Pearso: "While they feed on insects and d not specialize on the boll weevil, single song bird will destroy hui dreds of weevils. Robbing Killed for Eating. "The value of these birds in checl ing the multiplication of insects thoroughly understood all throug the north, where the laws protec ing birds are observed. In mo: sections of the north a farmer woul prosecute anyone killing songbin on hi? lands. But in many parts < the south, the farmer, his sons ar the hired men kill birds constan ly, eating the robbins and some < the other larger varieties ana snuo ing maiiy of the smaller ones f( what they consider "sport." "South Carolina has been heavi! hit by the boll weevil. The ruin < many farmers has carried dov; banks, the downfall of which in tui ruined hundreds of investors. At tl same time there was no sentiment j all on the subject of saving songbird which would be most useful allies < the cotton grower, if they were pe mitted to live in peace. "When I was in Texas for se V eral weeks last December, I notice the same thing. The threatened e: tinction of songbirds by constai shooting went hand in hand with tl growth of the boll weev into a scourge and va injury to crops by mar other types of insects which would 1 held * down if songbirds were 1< alone. Negro farmers are especial active in killing songbirds. Lectures on the usefulness < songbirds to the farmer will be he] in all the schools of North Caroli^ Organizations have been formed i several cities to promote bird club especially among children. The buili ing of bird houses and fountain common all over the north for tl protection and increase of birds vli able to the farmer, is almost uj known in the south." Pearson will go to Georgia ar Florida next week by request 1 start similar campaigns there, general crusade for the protection < songbirds will later be organized a through the south. . Tr? mnct annthom ctatps snnehirr are now nominally protected by lav imposing-heavy fines for killing, bi in most states the laws are totally ui enforced. In ?some sections gair wardens are unknown, Mr. Pearsc said. VISITORS TO PALESTINE. Americans Crowd in Large Numbei and Are Good Spenders. American tourists are literally o< cupying Palestine this season. Tw thousand of them have already visi ed the country and 3,000 more ai expected to arrive. * It is estimated that Palestiniar will as a result benefit financially t a.sum of not less than $500,000. Every employe in the governmei of Palestine from Sir Herbert San uel, the high commissioner, dow to the humblest railway porter i making it his special business t please the Americans.'Special trail are run for their convenience, pr vate homes are turned over for thei accommodation, because of tb scarcity of hotels and* even privat cars are placed at their disposal. Government agents are also d< tailed to see that no undue advani age is taken of these welcome vis tors, so that returning nome wi carry with. them only words c praise. The short stay of the AmericaD in the Holy Land is the only faui that the natives find with thei guests. They feel that five or si days is insufficient time in which t see all the historical places. To prove their point they cite a incident that occurred last yea while a company of tourists was vij iting in Nazareth. One America was heard to ask an accompanyin friend the name of the place the were in; the friend quickly looked a a schedule, he was carrying, then a his watch and replied: "It ig no^ ten o'olcck so it must be Nazareth. After lying exposed to the weathe in the mountains of British Colum bia for ten years, a gold watch wa found recently by a mountain climbe and restored to its owner, who de clares it to be running and keepin perfect time.

A rather unusual case came up ly before the recorder in Spartanburg Friday. Ed Tobias had been con.n victed in recorder's court and sent>n enced to pay $100 or to serve "30* ie days. Upon the defendant appeallt ing he was released upon $200 bond, c double the amount of the fine. The * time for the appeal expired Friday r_ morning and the case was called. When the case was called A. E. v_ Kill, counsel for the defendant, said that he did not have the man in x_ dourt, "but that two policemen might at_ be sentj for him. He said that it ie would be necessary to send two policemen for him. When he gave the st address it was the cemetery. The iy man had been dead two weeks. )e (Demand was made of J. H. Hill, chief of police, for a return of the ^ bond, but he refused to return it, claiming, that the man had not been brought to court as required by the bond. Tne question arises *whther the .' city can be made to return the bond, when the defendant dies, pending an appeal; or if the appeal was abandoned. Attorneys present at court ,' claimed that the supreme court had le ruled in a case of this kind that the a_ bond should be returned. Until he gets further orders Chief Hill will , not tarn over the boi/d. id ~ X) BANKS CLOSE MAY 1Q. ~ A { Notice is given that on Wednesday, May 10th, Southern Memorial 11 Day, the undersigned banks will be closed for the day. ls BAMBERG BANKING CO., FIRSTN ATI ON AL BANK, rs it MEETING OF TAXPAYERS.1 ' !
