Senator McLaurin has declined the much talked of judgeship which it is said was offered him by President Roosevelt. BACHMAN CHAPEL LETTEK. All the Newa Around Rachnan Chapel and Union Academy Interestingly Told by T. J. W. Here goes for the conclusion of our Tuesday's letter. I wanted to say something about o-ir trip to Long Lane. You have often heard that "it's a long lane that has no turn." But that Long Lane, the same as all other lanes, has a turn, and we struck that turn last Saturday at the home of our friend and cousin, Calvin K. Baker. Mrs. W. and our oldest daughter and son-in-law, W. W. Ki nard, were in company with us. We divided at Mr. Baker's, Mr. and Mrs. Kinard going to Mr. S. A. Rikard's, while we stopped over with Mr. Baker and kind family. We enjoyed their hospitality for a few hours. Mr. Baker is a hustling farmer and is making good money out of his farm. From here we went over to Mr. Thomas W. McCul lough's and spent the night, which we most heartily enjoyed. This is another kind family who lives and boards at the same place, and their hospitality is far beyond the ordinary. But our time was limited and we had several birds to kill with the same stone, so we had to keep rolling. About nine o'clock we went back to Mr. S. A. Rikard's and J. H. Kibler's and took dinner. It is need less for us to say we enjoyed a few hours here, for these are not only our friends and kinfolks, but have been our neighbors for a number of years. We met Mr. R. E. Hunter who lives here and who has also been our neighbor. In short the trip was a very pleasant one to us, and we were sorry that our stay could not have been longer. This is a progressive section of country. The land is level and also very fertile. The crops throughout this section show that there has been no lack on the part of cultivation, and the prospect for a good yield is quite promising. Alto gether Long Lane is not only a good section of country, but is populated with a good people. OTHER MATTERS. We are needing rain at this writing. Crops are on the eve of going back. It may be seen since our people have finished laying by that they are on the go, and possibly I may not be able to keep up with them; if I skip any one of them I hope they won't feel slighted. "Polly Tics'' are getting pretty warm and the boys are busy now fixing up their tickets. Sidney Summers, better known while in this country as Jack, came out from Atlanta a few days ago and is spend ing a while with his uncle and family, Mr. L. I. Feagle. We were glad to have our teacher, Miss Cora Dominick and Miss Rosa Long with us last night. Come again, young ladies, we are-glad to have you with us. Mrs. Thos. L. B. Epps and children spent a part of last week with her pa rents, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Kibler, of Long Lane. Messrs. Walter Sheeley and Abney Walters, of Longshore's, made a flying visit to Mr. J. K. Epps' last Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Jno. Taylor of Stoney Battery spent last Saturday with their son and family, Mr. R. N. Taylor. Little Curtis and sisters, Maybell and Estell Rikard, of Long Lane section, are spending the week with us. Mr. J. R. Perdue, of Utopia, spent Tuesday night with us. Mr. Perdue's company is always very interesting and we are glad to have him with us. Our daughter and son, Miss Carrie and Joseph, will go over in the Long Lane section this evening. Miss Carrie will stay over a week with relatives, while Joseph will return in the morr. ing. Quite a crowd of young folks met at our house last night and gave us some very fine music which we always enjoy very much. Thank you, young friends, come again. We enjoyed a fine 'possom dinner with the family of Mr. J. K. Epps yes terday. We intend visiting our old friend, Push, tomorrow, and partake of those fine melons and grapes. Messrs. Nolan Epps and George I. Kinard are visiting over in Saluda County. There will be a meeting of the pat rons of Union Academy on Saturday morning next at seven o'clock, for the purpose of taking into consideration the question of an exhibition of the school. Wehope the patrons will all turn out. I should have stated that Miss Docia Epps is in company with Miss Ckrrie Wilson on her visit in the Long Lane section. We hope the reading public- will bear with us for having so much to say in this letter. We have about unloaded, and will promise not to be so lengthy in our next communications. Very respectfully, T.

GILDER 6 PatiElrWhamaiss 18 Ir A PIEMIUM ON LACK OF THRIFr ? The Newberry Herald says: "In the matter of the artificial arm fund which was intended only for the maimed Confederates who are unable to purchase the limbs, we notice com plaint that several who are amply able to buy artificial limbs have accepted the small allowance. That is the trou ble with the pensions. Only those who really need the help was the intention of the law." In our opinion the artificial limbs should be given to every Confederate soldier who lost a limb. The State should not offer a premium for thrift lessness, which the Herald seems to in dicate. Viewing the matter from our stand point, the whole pension law would re quire a brave and gallant old soldier to eat a lot of dirt before giving him a pension. But when it comes to artificial limbs every unfortunate should fare alike, whether he has a dime or a dollar to his credit.-Abbeville Press and Banner. According -to our cotemporary the proper course for the State to pursue would be to give a pension to every Confederate soldier regardless of his circumstances. To this we would sub scribe if the State were able. But we are not, and the next best thing we can do is to give help to those who are in need of our help. And when this is done there is no desire or intention to cause any one to "eat dirt." Neither is it meant to be a "premium on thrift lessness." We are not all blessed with riches, and some who are not may be just as industrious and deserving as those who are in better circumstances. The poor man made just as good sol dier in the cause as the rich man, and sometimes a better one. Honest pov erty is no disgrace. It frequently hap pens that as brave a heart beats be neath a homespun shirt as beneath fine linen. In fact true patriotism is more frequently found in the humble cottage of the poor than in the mansions of the rich. The appropriations of this State to Confederate soldiers were meant to help those who really needed it rather than to help those who were able to help themselves, and in this it was not intended to say or to intimate that the more thrifty were not just as true and as brave as the needy, and no true sol dier will object to helping his less fa vored brother who needs his help, and in doing this he would not for a moment say anything to humiliate. It no doubt happens that sometimes pensions are drawn from the State by those who do not really need the help of the State, but better this than that some brave Confederate soldier should be forced to take up his abode in the county home, as has~ been the case in some of our counties. The same rule should apply to the limb fund that applies to the pensiofn fund. A people who do not have a reverence as it were for the past, and a desire to honor and care for those who helped to make the history can never achieve greatness. As long as there is a Confederate soldier who needs the help of the State let it be given, and nio brave man who took part in that struggle will raise his voice against helping his needy brother be cause he has been more favored and does not need that help. O4luY & ,UGGESTI4N, We would like to make a sugges tion to the superintendent and the comminssieners of public works that there are a great many people who believe that the water hydrants' should be flushed occasionally. The superintendent told us the other day when we mentioned the matter to him that it would do no good, that even if the water in the dydrants was stag nant and impure, it could not possibly effect the water in the mains. That may be true in theory, but it would be difficult to convince most people that it would be safe to use water from the mains if the hydrants had poison in them. Stagnant water is impure and in many sections we are told the water even gets to smelling bad. It would not take a great deal of water to flush the hydrants occasionally, and if it would contribute to the health of the city the time and the water would be well spent. Another suggestion which if carried out would contribute largely to the comfort, if not to the health of the community, is to have the streets which have been recently torn up foa the sewers, sprinkled with water. The flushing of the hydrants and the water ing of the streets could both be done at the same time. In many places the streets are several inches deep with a fine dust which to inhale must be un healthy. If not it is at least very dis agreeable. These are only suggestions, but there are many suffering human beings in the city who would be glad to see the proper authorities act upon them and act promptly. Certain1y neither one could do any harm. The water works belong to the people and certainly the people are due some little consideration. The State newspaper is evidently not pleased with the candidates for the Legislature from Newberry county. It is a great pity these unfortuanates for got or overlooked the importance of consulting this newspaper before daring to offer themselves to the people. The editor of The Hferaid and News does not expect the State newspaper to look with favor upon anything he does or says and to tell the plain truth we do not care wl-ether it does or not. The editor of the State newspaper was nver known to be fair or just or to see any good in anything which was not his way, nor in anybody who dared not to agre with him. No. 6102.
