I a TH E GAFFNEY A NEWSPAPER IN ALL THAT THC WORD IMPLIES, AND DEVOTED TO THE BEST INTEREST OP THE PEOPLE OF CHEROKEE COUNTY. ESTABLISHED FEB. 16. 1894. GAFFNEY, 8. C., FRIDAY, JANUARY 24, 1908. |1.50 A YEAR. SIM,903,325,58 THIS LARGE AMOUNT PAID TO UNCLE SAM’S VETERANS. J. Broadus Knight, Former Secretary t 0 Senator Tillman, Promoted. Other News from Capital. Washington, Jan. 2<).—A promotion based on the merit system, pure and simple, is as rare an incident as the newspaper correspondent runs across in Whshington, despite the fact that the great government departments gravely and solemnly announce that all promotions are so based. The pull, the influence, the body politic, the thousand and one things aStde form the real capability or value of the individual “cut all the ice,” as is well known, when a person gets a raise here. And this rule has but few exceptions. The friends of Mr. J. Broadus Knight, a Greenville county boy, former secretary to Congress- man Johnson well known throughout the Piedmont section, will learn with pleasure that he has just received an advancement in the service of Sena tor Tillman, for whom he has been engaged as private secretary for the past two years. Knight has "made good,’’ as the expression goes, and in recognition of his faithful and able performance of duty, Senator Tillman has chosen him clerk to the com mittee of the Five Civilized Tribes, one of the select senate committees of which Mr. Tillman is chairman. The position of messenger to this committee, formerly held by Mr. Knight, has been flilod by a young South Carolinian, formerly employed in the departments here, but now liv ing in his native state. Mr. Knight’s promotion carries with it a consider able advance in salary, and he is be ing congratulated on all sides by the colony of Carolinians at the national capital. He has well won hi* spurs by application to business, good be haviour and pleasing address, proving himself indispensable to his chief. Few if any members of the United States .fienate, or any man in public life for that matter, is kept as busy as Senator Tillman, and he’s a natur al born worker. He takes a pleasure in his duties and his Infinite ca pacity for taking up and pushing along all things that come within his line. A person whose work requires an occasional visit to the committee room of South Carolina’s senior sen ator. and who on each occasion sees the heaps and stacks of mail unans wered and being answered, can in a “way have an intelligent concepltion of the work of this busy statesman’s secretary. Knight is just the man for the job, and he’s always on the job, for the senator answers all letters, and there is an air of business about the committee room once occupied by John C. Calhoun that impresses itself on even the casual visitor. days. Also the last survivor of the war of 1812, was Hiram Cronk, of Ava, N. Y., who died May 13, 1905, aged 105 years and sixteen days. This causes one to admire the longevity, as well as the patriotism of these warriors of the pioneer days. The names of 558 widows of the war of 1812 are now on the roll. The num ber of pieces of mail received in the bureau during the year 1907, includ ing applications for pensions, was 1,- 749.332, an the outgoing mails aggre gated 1,838,642, making the total num ber of pieces handled 3,587,974, or about 12.000 for each working day. Final action was taken by the bureau during tl\e year on 298.822 claims, of which number 238,249 were approved or allowed and 60,573 for rejected The latter were mostly claims for in crease, in which no increase of dis ability was shown on medical exami nation. The number of rejections has largely decreased, being but a little over one-half of that of recent years, and nearly 25,000 less than during the fiscal yea r 1906. During the year there were received and recorded 140,517 new applicationa for pension and increase of pension, and a large number of service cards containing the postofflee addresses of surviving soldiers ard sailors had been added to the files of the army and navy sur vivors section. The number of cases for special examination on hand July 1, 1906. was 5,250, and the number de ferred for special examination during the year 8.001. a total of 13,251. Of these cases 9,775 were specially ex amined during the year, leaving 3,476 eases on hand June 30. 1907. The ap_- propriation act provides for 125 special examiners, hut this force has been from time to time augmented by details from the clerical force of the bureau, as authorized by existing law.

The total amount disbursed for pensions during the last fiscal year by the United States government was $146,003,322.58. and yet twenty-eight years ago, when Congress passed the law appropriating at that, time $28,- 000.000 for pensions, a Republican leader, who afterwards became presi dent of the United States, stated on the floor that his appropriation of $28,000,000 was the largest amount ever given by a government to its sol diers; that no nation in the civilized world had so handsomely provided for its soldiers, and concluded by as suring the national legislators that the high water mark had been reach ed in the matter of pension appro priation, but his assurance was all. Year afer year the pension roll has been crowded by surviving Union sol diers. and from $28,000,000 the colos sal array of figures now reaches over five, times that amount. And the cry is for more appropriations in every branch' of this great artery of the United States. In his annual report Just issued Commissioner of Pensions Warner gives some interesting facts. The number of pensioners on the roll June 3ft. 1906. was 985 971. The num ber at the close of the fiscal year June-30, 1907, was 967.371, the net loss for tfie fiscal year being 18,600. On January 31, 1905, 1,004,196 pen sioners were on the -roll, and this was the record brealser in the history of tbe bureau. During the fiscal year 1907, the additions to the roll amount ed to 29,904 new pensioners and 1,310 restorations and renewals. During the year the loss by death of surviv ors of the Civil war was 31,201, leav ing the names of 644,338 survivors of that war on the roll June 30, 1907. The annual value of the pension roll on June 30. 1907. was $4,613,131.60 greater than it was on June 30, 1906. deapite the decrease by death of sur vivor* of the war. This marked in crease i* due to pensions granted un der set of February 6, 1907. at the higher rates provided by that act. The disbursements for navy pensions during 1907 was $4,248,711.80. The total amount paid out by the govern ment for pensions from July 1, 1790, to June 30, 1865. was $96,445,444.23. and the total disbursements from the year 1866 to the present time figure up $3,611,621,793.19. The total amount paid annually on account of disabili ties Incurred in. or deaths resulting from, service In the war with Spain and insurrection in the Phllltpine Is lands was $18,909,912. 43. The report records that the last survivor of the war of the Revolution was Daniel F. Bakeman, who died in Freedom Cat- taraugua county, N. Y., April 5, 1869, aged 109 years, six months and eight President Roosevelt told a good story at a dinner a few evenings ago, which has been going the rounds. Your correspondent didn’t happen to be at the dinner, as every one of your readers is aware, but that doesn’t affect the quality of the tale. One of the very few weaknesses of this remarkable man, Theodore Roose velt, is his love for his old RoTigh Rider regiment, and when one of that bunch into trouble or want an of fice, they make a bee line for the president, either by mail, wire or in person. A rough rider living in Arizona took a shot with a real pistol at a woman, and somebody was killed —not the woman he aimed at, but another female, just an innocent by stander. The rough rider was sent up for a long term. He applied for a pardon to the president. It was strenuously urged in his behalf that the element of intent was absent— he didn’t intentionally shoot the woman who received the bullet, and there was no evidence to prove that he did. The Arizona man was shooting at his wife at the time, and another woman received the shot. In one way the case for pardon was a strong one, and the old comrade-in-arm racket was played over in the smoothest measures to the ears of Mr. Roose velt. The strenuous one couldn’t ex ercise executive clemency, however, and great as was the temptation, he passed it up. He said; “I felt sorry for him, but even if lie was not guilty of shooting the particular woman struck down by the bullet, still the penalty of law should be enforced to its extreme length against a man in those diggins who was so bad a shot.” Columbia, Jan. 20.—During the first !

Elinor Glyn, the English woman, whose book, “Three Weeks,” has stirred the mails and females of the United Kingdom and the United States, met Senator DePew at a din ner in Washington a few evenings ago, so the writers of the Four Hun dred periodicals state. In her con verse with “Peach” she opined that she was going to take a little vaca tion in Virginia. “How long do you expect to remain in Old Dominion?” "Peach” DePew is quoted as asking her. “About two weeks,’’ Elinor re plied. “Hem, hum-m-m,’’ rejoined the quintessence of wit in the upper house, “Cawn’t you make it three weeks?" Fike. Sensation at Galveston. 1 At his concert last winter at Gal veston, Texas, Mr. Perry played his Ballade of Uast Island, a composition ! which was suggested by the descrip tion of the destruction of I^ast Island, ' a famous watering place in the Gulf [of Mexico, written by Lafsadio Hearn j for Harper's Magazine, and entitled 1 ’Chita, or the Legend of Last Island.” { At the close of Mr. Perry’s perform ance, quite a sensation was created by a number of the audience rushing up onto the stage in great excitement and insisting upon showing Mr. Per ry a gold repeater, with the names of several victims of the disaster whom he had rescued engraved upon 4t. This person announced that he had been cruising in the Gulf, but was safe in harbor at the time of the cyclone, and went out with his yacht the morning after tbe catastrope, and picked up several unfortunates who bad been staying at the summer hotel on the island, and who had survived the night by clinging to floating doors, tables, and the like. In gratitude for their preservation, they presented him with the repeater. He was vaat- ly surprised and delighted that his own adventure had found a setting in literature and music, and the inci dent gave quite a realistic touch to that number of the program. Mr. Perry will play his Ballade of Last Island in his recital at Limestone Col lege on February fifth. —One 50c bottle Nature’s Cough Remedy will put an end to that cough; no cure, no pay.
