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.

In loOKing tnrougn me oia court

light upon life in this country nearly
one hundred and fifty years ago. It
was found in the record of the proceedings

The Rev. Mr. Smith made a Motion
in the Court of Ordinary praying

Killing Birds
capsBoll Weevil Figl
New York.?The whole south h<
greatly handicapped itself in i
fight against the boll weevil by tl
wholesale slaughter of song birds, a
cording to T. 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.

Unusual Incident Occurred Last
Week in Spartanburg.
)r ?
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.

R. M. Kearse, of the puford\i ^

of his brother, G. E. Kearse, Sun- jten
day.
Mrs. Rosa Hightower, who has
been teaching the White Point | ?;
school, left yesterday for her homej^
in Denmark. SB
Mrs. M. E. Bush and Mr. and Mrs. H
Earl Bush, of Ellenton, were recent B
visitors in our section, also attend- B
ing the Rivers Bridge memorial. HI
Misses Elma Chitty and Cressi- B
da Breeland left Sunday night for B
Langley, after a pleasant visit to j M
their old home community. 8B
Annual memorial day was observed
at old Rivers Bridge on the 28th B
ult. While the crowd was not so B
large as on former occasions, still B
the programme was appropriate and ?
interesting. Special mention must A
be made of the remarks by J. H. H
Zeigler, affectionately known as "Un- B
cle Jimmy." His little talk carried B
our old "vets" back to the days of B
the 60's, and awakened memories IB
both sad and mirthful. H
Crops and gardens in our section B
are looking better owing to the re- B
cent rains. The recent cold, how B
ever, has made the cotton look a lit- B
tie sick. A great dead of tobacco B
and some potatoes have been put B
out, and farmers are feeling bright- B
er already, with the thought that """I
they are outwitting the boll weevil. A
Edgar Kearse ihas a fine crop of on- B
ions to put on the market, wihich B
will doubtless sweeten the temper B
as well as the breath of the consu- B
mer. G. E. Kearse also is prepar- B
ing a launch into the "goat indus- B
try," but we think it a bit unfortu- B
nate that these two should have ad- B
joining farms. ?
