Woodmen of the World for $25,

identified tlie certificate given to
plaintiff in favor of his wife.
Mitchell again testified. He
said he is still a member of camp
and pays all dues, lie was roughly
handled at initiation; no one
held him on the goat; didn't know
how he got off. lie was told to
sit up, but said "How the devil
can I sit up here?" Said ho had
typhoid fever in 1884 and Dr.
Ward attended him. lie hauled
flour for Morehead on the afternoon
before his initiation. He
had asked Dr. Ward for a certificate
as to his injury for his lawyer,
but was refused. Said his
credit is good at Hickory Grove.
The goat, mounted on two
wheels with a handle at the back,
and the seat covered with something
like sheepskin, was brought
into the court by defendants,
who intended producing it before
being subpoenaed. The three
defendants were sworn and told

5x-Governor I). H. Chamberlain
Praises Hampton.
In a letter to the Springfield
iepuhliean ex-Governor 1). II.
chamberlain speaks very kindly
if General Wade Ilatnpton. lie
ays :
I venture to say that South
Carolina has never had a great
irator or statesman who could
lave done what Hampton did ;
:ould have led the state so wisely

n the circumstances under which
le did his most conspicuous and
iraluaide work.
1 am not saying that what
[lampion did was the wisest thing
,hat could have been done. I am
>nly expressing my conviction
hat as t'ne leader of his people
11 a gioat, vital political and
locial struggle he played a high
iart, a part which no other citizen
)t the state was probably equal
.0 ; a part which in my judgment
30 other citizen of the state at
iny period of her history could
probably have played so well.
His mastery of men, of self willed,
3ven reckless, men was absolute,
lis power of directing and conaollitig
the torces with which he
ltd to deal and to reach the remits
he aimed at, was truly wonJerful.
In the height of surrounding
excitement he could be
jpro n a u ti/l r?r?l 1 not a/1 i
vn v IWIU VWiiWV/VVU ^ 111 111U111CU10
when it was easy to be unrestrained
he could be moderate.
Whoever else lost his balance,
Hampton never did.
Hack of all this courage and
poise and self-control and supporting
them all, there was be
fond doubt a firm conviction that
lis cause was the cause of justice
if peace and of civilization. No
nan who knew Hampton or is
ami liar with his career can doubt
lis profound devotion to jmbiic
welfare. One may question the
wisdom of his policy, may think
mother and different policy might
lave brought better results, but
no one who well informed can
question Hampton's fidelity to
lis own best judgment. He
iteadil.) followed the right as he
irw it, and he was as sure to
follow it in days of defeat as in
lays of victory. lie telt the
dings and arrows of outrageous
ortune, as well as 'he applause
md cheers of his fellow citizens,
out through it al: he bore him
iell, so tar as 1 can see, without
nistake or fault, from the point
)1 view lie took.
Over his open rr ve nothing
;ould persuade me to utter dispraise
or blame, il I could see the
rravest mistake in his career, lor
I feel sure ho was true at all times
.o what he regarded as his duty.

While the law provide?- that

reports to the state board on the
first Monday of March, as required
by the rules of 1 he state
boards,the state board has been
unable to examine new applications
and dispose of them until

reports from some routine-; have
been received since the first of
April, and straggling applications
from counties hav< been
coming in up to the present,
some in fact were recieved by
the board to day.
The members composing the
state board are anxious to disbruse
this fund at the earliest
date possible, and any delay in
disbursing the same cannot
properly be charged to them.
It is a fact, that if the board
had held their meetings the oth day
of April, for instance, which
was beyond the date the last
regular list was recieved 0 nd

that were not in due form
several hundred deserving people,
who as it is will receive
pensions, would have been left

board having returned them
for corrections, the delay caused
