New Members of the Whis key Board. Clemson College Scholarships Under Discussion?The Shad Bill Has Passed?Other Doings. The General Assembly la still in ses sion end will accomplish something this week it is hoped. Last week it accomplished the elec tions of H. H. Evans as ohairman of the State dispensary directors and of J. B Towill, of Batesburg, and L. W. Boykln, of Kershaw, as members of the board. They succeed Wiley Jones and L. J. Williams. Mr. Tatum, of Orangeburg, was e'ected State dispensary commissioner in place of H. U. Crum who did not scok re-election. There was a lot of oanvasslng for these cilices. They are more sought for than any oftioes "in the gift of the people." Former State Senator McDermott, of 1 lorry, ran against B, H. Evans but was beaten badly. McDermott is said to bt> a reliable and successful man of spot'ess oharaoter, but B. B. Evans is now tbe hardest man to beat in the Sta'.e for any office with possibly one exception. Be began his political cue \- as mayor of Liurens. The whole Liurens delegation, senator and house members, voted for him. Representative Herbert has offered a bill to create 124 scholarships at Olennon of $100 each to be given to boys who will take tbe farming course in college, the money to oome out of Clemen's funds. It was developed in debate that only seven per cent of the Clemson students take the farming course at the farmers' college. Sen ator Tillman had Clemson established to fill "the demand for a purely agri cultural college." The Anti-Tillman ites opposed it. The position of the Antls is fully vindicated. Bowever, Clemson is a valuable and splendid college even if the farming course is not popular, and it should be well sup ported. Many farmer's sons are being educated there in other than farming Industries. The Borbert bill is a good bill, for something should be done to induce the boys to study farming. A lot of debating has taken place over the shad bill. The bill forbids the exporting of shad. The George town and Florence legislators have been babbling about shad for 20 years. No up-country man has ever been able to understand what they were driving at. Tbe bill was paesed. The Impression Is that two new Ju dicial circuits will be formed and two new Judges elect id in c msequence. At last accounts the Laurens senator and n embers were bthaving them selves very well. The member from another county who was lined in the police court for disorderly corduct has not been fined any more. The dispensary elections are till over. FOR ALDERMAN. T. B.

Many Nobt asKn FarniPr.H Are Discour aged by the Prevailing fondi* Hons. Lincoln, Neb , Jan. 10.?An unus ually largo numb: r of Nobraska farm ers are holding sales of their house bold goods and farm implements this winter, and the attention of business men and bankers has beeu attracted to the matter, says a dispatch to the Now York Sun, A fow of these sales are preparatory to removal toother States, but most of them are duo to the faot tbat the labor problem is becoming so serious on the farms that tome of the farmers are getting discouraged. It is estimated by the State Seore Ui \ of Agriculture that many thou sands dollars' worth of grain was lost last summer ibecause there were not enough men to harvest it. The States of Missouri, Kansas and Nobraska have taken the matter in hand, and an asso ciation of Stato labor bureaus was formed to systematize tho furnish ings of tnrvost bands next year. Many farmers are pes3imistlo about tho matter. They say that It is gct'.ing so now that there is littlo encourage ment to continue working a farm of medium eizo. H<red help in tho field means hired help iu the hous^. The wives have go' the taste of luxury from reoent years of prosperity and they obj 'ct to work ing hard in the kitchen. Tho farmers' daughters have taken to teaching school or have gone to tho cities to bo typewriters or clerks. Hired girls are scarce enough in the city, but in the country the demand is even greater. Much of th? city supply comes from farms, and tho 94 or $5 a weok offered In tho cltle3, with all the attractions the town itself presents, makes it difficult to got kitchen help in the country. Then, too, the farmhands' union is causing some trouble. Already it has forced prices $5 a month, and the eight hour day, although not yet actually on the farm, is not far distant. Farmers have tried to fight the union by cooperation among themselves, do ing one another's work, but it li the dally grind of chor.-s that makes the farmer weary. And now that ho has money he dcesn't like to work any more than less favored mortals. A good many farmers have therefore deter mined to give more attention to stock and to arrango their work so that they can got along with a minimum of holp. Praises Boystcrs Goods. LiAUKENS, S.

RULES THAT GOVERN BESTOW* EOF CROSSES Origin and Hlsto-y or a Beautiful Cus tom?All Vetoraus Entitled to iho lion >r. The Confederate cross of honor awarded by the Daughters of tho Con federacy, origin ?tod with Mrs. Mary Cobb Erwin of Athens, Ga.,aDd the de sign ?ffered by Mrs. S. E. Gabbett, of Atlanta, Ga.,was adopted at K'chmond, V?., in November, 1891), at the annual meeting of tho U. 0. D., says Col. J. A. Hoyt, in tho Greenville Mountaineer. The custodian of the crosses is Mra. Gabbett, who adheres strictly to the regulations prescribed for their pur chase and presentation. Only four years havo elapsed since the first crosses were given to Confederate vete rans, and there has arisen in this brief period a great do il of misconception and mlsundorstanding as to the object of making the presentation and upon whom It shsll he bestowed. A sum mary of tho points contained in the rules and regulations will enlighten many persons who aro Interested In this impressive and beautiful custom, which was observed In this city on tbe 19th lost., while honoring the birthday of Robert E. Lee. 1. OsrtlficateBof eligibility are filled out by tho applicants, who must be veterans, endorsed by two or more of ficers of the camp to which they be long. 2. These certificates are forwarded to the custodian in Atlanta by the presi dents of U. D. C. Chapters when re mitting money for the crosses, and are to be returned to tho chapter for pre servation. 3. Each chapter keops a rocord of the name and command of every soldier who receives the cros?, so that thero may be no possibility of bestowing a second orossupon the same person. 4. In case any veteran has tho mls fortuno to lose his cross he cannot re ceive another, at.d veterans are re quested to have their names engraved upon the tm bar, but In case the owner loses either tho tin bar or the cross neither part can bj restored. 5. A veteran d>ing without heirs may have tho cross buried with him, but otherwise it must be sont to the Buttle Abbey or a Confederate museum, and a Veteran my bequeath his cross to eny desoondant that he may soleor, 0. The cross cannot bo worn except by the veteran [upon whom bestowed ; no descendant or representative can wear It, and Legislatures are asked to make it a penal ofTsnoa if this rulo Is violatoJ. 7. Before a descendant can secure the cross in any county, three consecu tive monthly notices must be inserted in the newspapers of such county, ask ing veterans to sond In their applica tions, and at tho expiration of three months, if no other applications are sent In tho bestowal of crosses upon descendants may begin. Tho forogo'.ng are tho prominent and essential features of the rules ami reg ulations for conferring the orosiea ot honor, exempt the days designated for tho cero'nonlcs wh'oh aro tho birth days of Joffe-son Davis (Juno It) a d R. E I.eo (Jan. Ji)),and tho genera1 Memorial Day, which is usually the 10th of May, the anniversary of Stone wall Jacksm's death. The crosses arc being distributed among tho vetorans by the hundreds and tlnusandson the days designated, and It will not he many yoars until every veteran living will have received this honor at tho hands of tho women of the South, an honor and distinction that is highly appreciated by all the veterans. It has been said that tho crosses aro made from ci.nnon used in battle during the war botwoen the States, which would bs most appro- j pnate as theso weapons of warf iro as a general rule passed from the North I to the South, and hence the tribute is 1 from both eeotions of our common country, if the statement be true. GOSSIP ABOUT THE COMING CAMPAIGN. Some Men Whose Names Are Mentioned. THE STATE SENATE. Earle's Candidacy for Rail road Commissioner. Reasoning That Preveuts Homo Uood Men from Running for the Leg islative Officers. Another name mentioned for the State Senate is that of Hon. Jobn C. Davis, of Hunter Township. He was formerly a member of the House of Representatives. Hon. A. J. Smith of Mountville, for merly representative, is spoken of as a probable candidate for the senate. He was also a member of the constitu tional convention of 1895. Mr. J. W. Beeks and Mr. W. C. Deck who were in the second primary in 1902 for county commissioner were both in the city Monday. Both are good men. Neither of them have an nounced a9 yet any intention of enter ing the campaign this year. One of the ablest and host informed men in this county is Robert Aber cromble. Ho can hold his own in de bate with anybody. However, it seems that tho time has conn when opposi tion to whiskey is a source of political weakness. A negro paper in Columbia Is out in a severe criticism of Representative R. A. Cooper, based on his labor contract bill?which ought to have the elTect of strengthening Mr. Coopor among the people. Major John H, Earle, a prominent lawyer of Greenville, son of the late Senator Earle, Is a candidate for rail road commissioner. He is a man of forco and ability. He commandod a battalion in the First S. C. Regiment in the War with Spain. Mr. Garris, whose term expires this year, will seek reelection. Mr. J. P. Saxon of Huntington has been solicited by friends to run for the senate or house but he does not expect to enter politics,?at least not at pres ent. THE Advektiser would like to seo soven or eight of tho strongest men in the coun'y run for tho lower house. When a good man runs for the houso or senato, in which there is no money, the people aro not doing him any spe cial favor to vote for him. lit is doing them a favor to run As a rule, a man really fit to go to the legislature can not go without making a sacrifice. Sometimes an able, strong man, capa ble of doing good service, reasons Ibis way; "I can't leave my business for six weeks in winter without the loss of much more than the pittanco of a sal ary. I can't be elected except by beg glug for the ollico. I don't want the of iico and wouldn't have it except as a matter of duty to my peoplo. Yet to got the votes I would have to appear as though I wore asking a favor. Why should I go through this county with tho air of a man pleading for what will do mo no gold and what I would rath er not have? No, I we n't run." That is a reason why many good men stiy out of politics. Genornlly, our best men can mako moro money and count for more in the community out of ofliee than in it.

Bagby of Richmond: Tom, old fellow, I grieve to see That sleeve hanging loose at your siil The arm you lost was worth to me Every Yankee that ever died, i'.ii i you don't mind It, at all: You swear you've a beautiful stump, And laugh at the damnable ball? Tom, 1 knew you were always a trump. A right trood arm, a nervy hand, A wrist as strong as a sapling oak, Buried deep on the MaWern sand To laugh at that is a sorry joke. Never again your Iron grip Shall I feel on my .shrinking pain? Tom, Tom, I see your trembling lip!? How on earth oan I be calm? Well, the arm Is gone, it Is true, But the one that is nearest the heart Is left and that's as good as two. Tom, old fellow, what makes you start! Why. man, she thinks that empty s'eeve A badge of honor: so do I, And all of us. I do believe The old fellow Is going to cry." "She deserves a perfect man, you say, You were not worth her In your prime. Tom, that arm that has turned to clay Your whole body has made sublime, For you havo placed on Malvorn's earth Tho proof and pledge of a noble life, And the rcBt henceforward of higher worth Will bo dearer than all to your wife." "I seo the people io the street Look at your sleove with kindling oyes, And know you, Tom, there's naught so sweet As homage shown on mute surmise, Bravely your arm In battle strove; Truly for freedom's sake you gave It; It hr.8 perished, but a nation's love In proud remembrance will save It." "Go to your sweetheart then forthwith, You're a fool for staying so long. Woman's love you'll find no myth, But a truth tender, loving and strong, And whon around her slender belt, Your loft arm Is clasped In fond em brace, Your right will thrill, as if It felt, In Its grave the usurper's place." "As I look Lhro tgh the opening years I see a one-arm^d married man, A lltt'e woman, with smiles and tears, Is helping as hard as she can To put on his coat and pin his sleeve, Tio Uisrcravat and cut his food, Ancfl say as those fancies weave, That is Tom and the woman he wooed." "The years roll on and then I see A wedding picture, bright and fair; 1 look closer, and It's plain to me That is Tom with the sliver hair, He gives away the lovely bride, And the guests linger, loth to leave Tho house of him in whom they pride, Brave old Tom with empty sleeve."
