E. H. AULL. DrroxT. BUILD THE UXILKO)AD. The Rev. Sam P. Joues as recently returned from a trip to Colorado, and wbile there made a visit to Cripple Creek and other rich miaing towns of that famous section. Ile says he saw more gold than ever before in his life and speaks in pleasant terms of the towns and the people. Wages are good, money plentiful and everybody appar ently happy. There seems to be no end 'to gold. It extends, hesays, from grass roots down in the ground twelve hun dred feet and still on down. No one knows how far. Mr. Jones is a philoso pher. With all these riches in sight he says: "The viens grow.richer and broader as they go down, and yet in spite of all I have said there are but two classes of men who can afford to monkey with gold mining property. One is the fellow who has millions and can make or losemruillions more a..d not. feel it much. The other is a poor devil who has nothing to lose. These two classes of men can afford to monkey with gold mines." We do not quote this to discourage any of our friends in Newberry who are monkeying with gold mines. We saw stated somewhere that an expert's opinion was that the recent gold find in Saluda was superior to Cripple Creek. We hope this may prove true and that very soon all of these gentle men may be wealthy. But these gentlemen who are inter ested in Saluda gold should go to work and build a railroad from Newberry to Augusta via the gold fields. 1. is greatly needed. There may be one or two little towns spring up slong the road, but we hope no one will be fool ish enough to oppose a railroad on that account. Some such foolish notion as this forced the Seaboard around - us which we all regret, but that does not secure the road. Let us all go to work noW iad build the road to Augusta. This will tiring the gold fields much closer and nearer to Newberry. PEN.%WN. The house has passed a bill appropri ating $200 000 for Con fedierite p)ensionis. This bill passed the house with only five votes against it--Messes. Moses, Freeman, Dominick, Dorrob and Logan. A bill of similar import was passed last year appro'priating $150,000 but the regular appropriation bill carried only $100,000 and ;the Supreme couti held only that amount could be drawn from the treasu,ry. When the Sta&e first started to grant pensions to Confed-rate soldiers only $50,000 was appropriated. It seems to increase gradually, and after a while it will become more than the State can stand. We would not for a moment be understood as intimating that the State should withhold her hand from any needy Confederate for we are on 'record as advocating a liberal provision for those who are deserving and needy, but if the State should undertake to pension all who are deserving she could include every boy who shouldered a musket and marched to the front from '81 to '65. They all did their duty, but the question now is that the State is only able to take care of those who are in want and really need her help. Be ware of the politician who is always harping on the old soldier. II any of them are in need and should have the help of the State that help should be fully and willingly given, and we do not desire that any old soldier shall suffer for the necessaries of life, but that there are some on the pension rolls who should not be no one will deny. As to a soldiers' home, there has beeni a great; deal said about it, and the Confederate veterans have asked for it If it is really desired now is the time to build it. We have never been an advocate of a home, because we have always believed that the Confederate soldier would rather have what help the State can give him and remain at home with his relatives and among the associates of his youth, and that if a home were built there would be very few occupants, but if it is e ver intended to build a home the plau now proposed should be adopted and the home built. The appropriation that has hereto fore been made for pensions has not been sufficient ty pay the per capita provided by law. It is $S per month for one class; $4 per month for an other class; and $3 per month for an other class. According to the comp troller general's report thbe majority of the pensioners have been recei ving oo~ y $13.20 per year which is almost nothing. They should have more than that. THE LIEN L:-iW. The bill proposing to repeal tue lien law has been killed. The is~ should be repealed, but at lea;t one year should be given so that every body could adjust his affairs to the ne'v conditions. But nothing will be done by this Legis lature and those who desire tQ give liens can proceed with their arrange ments as heretofore. The bill providing salaries for county officers as it passed the Senate fixes salaries in Newberry as follows: Audi tor- $1,000; Treasurer $1 ,000; Ciountv Supervisor, $730. These are the sala ries now in force. The SherifTs salary is fixed at $1,l00, and he is allowed 20 cents per day for dieting prisoners. This may all be changed, however, be fore the bill is finally passed. MAJ. D. R. DUNCAN. The death of Maj. Duncan at his home in Spartanburg en Tuesday morn iu, removes from the State one of her foremost citizens. Maj. Duncan was a native of Virginia, but had spent his life almost entirely ini Spartan)urghav ing moved there before the war. He was a brave s.Mier. an upright cit'zen, and a Christian gentlemrn. For eight years he was solicitor of the seventh circuit, and in that way became ac quaintLd with many of our people, and had a great ma,y friends in this county who will hear of his death with regret. He was faithful and fearless in the dis charge of his duty. The proposition for biennial sessions has passed the house. We do not see much benefit to be derived from this change. About the only argument in its favor is economy. We doubt if there would be any saving. It is pro posed to limit the biennial session to fifty days. This would save thirty days in two years, but there is no telling how many days would be spent in extra sessions and they would be without limit. The only advantage we can see is that we would then only have elec tions every four years. That might help some, but we doubt it. Better not be changing the constitution too much. The states which have biennial ses sions usually have extra sessions. CAROLINA DAYS. February 7Lh and 8th, at the CharlesZon ExpositIon-Very Keduced Rates via the 'Southeru Raiway, February 7th and 8th (Friday and Saturday) have been selected as Caro lina Days at the South Carolina Inter State and West Indian Exposition.

A REVISED LIST OF THOSE WHO ARE ENTITLED TO PENSION IN THIS CoUNTY. The Work of the County Pension Board which Closed It's Work on Monday -145 Entitled to Pensions Three Less Than Last Year. The Connty Pension Board held it's last meeting on Monday and closed up the work before it, and through the kind ness of Mr. W. G. Peterson, clerk of the Board, we are enabled to publish the re sult of their work. As will be seen the pensioners are di vided off into classes, which last year re ceived pensions as follows: Class A, $72; Class B, $16.4o; Class C, No. I, $19-30; Class C, No. 2, $12.30; Class C, No. 3, $12 30; Class C, No. 4, $12.30. The ioi Act provides in regard to these classes as follows: "(a) All soldiers and sailors who lost both arms or both legs, or sight, or who are physically help less, the sum of eight dollars per month. (b) All soldiers or sailors who lost one arm or leg in the said service, the sum of four dollars per month. (c) All other persons entitled to pensions under the provisions of this chapter, the sum of three dollars per month." The law further provides: "The sum of at least one hundred thousand dollars shall be appropriated to paythe pensioners provided for in this chapter, and in case the same, or such amount as shall be ap propriated, shall be insufficient, then the amount so appropriated shall be dis tributed proportionately among those le gally entitled to receive the same: Pro vided, That these pensioners described in subdivision (a) shall have been first paid in full." As will be seen from the list Newberry has no pensioners in class A, and the above provision accounts for the pension ers not receiving the anounts designated in the law. The following is a complete list of those who will receive pensions this year in this county: CLASS B. Name. Postoffice. i Bass, J.

Great consternotion was left by the friends of M. A. Hogarty of Lexington, Ky., when they saw he was turniug yellow. His skin slowly changed color, slso his eyes, and he suflered terribly. His malady was Yellow Jaundice. He was treated by the best dyctors, but without benefit. Then he was advised to try Electric Bitters, the wonderful Stomach and Liver remedy, and be writes: "After taking two bottles I was whooly cured." A trial proves its matchless merit for all Stomach, Liver and Kidney troubles. Only 25c. Sold by all druggists. HOME AND CHILD Does your horse "feel his oats"? What a difference be tween the grain-fed and the grass-fed horse! The first stong and full of ginger, thc second flabby, weak and tired out before he begins. The feeding makes the difference. Children are not alike either. One is rosy, bright-eyed, full of life and laughter, another is pale, weak and dull. The feed ing again is responsible. Sickly children need special feeding. They don't "feel their oats". Scott's Emulsion adds just the right richness to their diet. It is like grain to the horse. The child gets new apetite and strong digestion. Scott's Emulsion is more than food. It is a strong medicine. It rouses up dull children, puts new flesh on thin ones and red blood into pale ones. It makes children grow. Scott's Emulsion makes ordi nary food do its aduty. This picture represents the Trade Mark of Scott's Emulsion and is on the wrapper of every bottle. ~iSend for free sample.
