I'he first object of the Daughters of the American Revolution is to perpetuate the memory of the spirit of the brave men and women who achieved American independence. Also to preserve all the history of this period. Therefore, the Fair Forest chapter is endeavoring to compile a correct list of the soldiers of the Revolutionary war and the War of 1812, in this county, and place markers on all graves now without monuments. The United States government gives the chapter these markers, but proof of the soldiers' services must be established. Practically all these pioneers fought to defend their homes and, no doubt, were m the battles of Blackstock, Fish Dam, Cedar Springs, Cowpens, Ninety-Six, King's Mountain, Brandon Carp and other skirmishes with the British, Tories and Indians. Some of these volunteers asked for no pensions and were not recorded as to their military service, like the State militia, and the South Carolina Continental Line soldiers. Union county has given to the service of the State three (3) governors, four (4) congressmen, six (6) judges and a long list of gallant soldiers for the wars of 1776, 1812, 1836, 1846, 1860, 1398. Also Dr. James Davis, first physician, and one of the first commissioners of the State hospital at Columbia. Revolutionary Soldiers. Buried in Union Cemetery: Col. Thomas Brandon, Maj.

Much data has already been collected but any information will be gladly received. We particularly ask for the names and records of the soldiers of the Revolution and War of 1812. In the Union courthouse are wills of many of these soldiers. Also in the old books?some moved from Pinckney ?are records and deeds signed by these men, mute testimony of our heroic dead. Mrs. L. J.

New York, June 5.?Shoes that j have Rone up $1 a pair since the first I jl- mi % - - - ! ui tut- year win advance another dollar this fall. Sol Wile, secretary of the executive committee of the National Boot and Shoe Manufacturers' association, said so yesterday at the Hotel Astor. The association will meet today in Philadelphia to discuss the most solous situation that has arisen in the trade sin -n 1896, when what is called "the leather crisis" arose. The executive committee met here yesterday to consider a proposal that an embargo be laid on the exportation of all finished leather until the belligerents of Europe shall have raised their embargo on the exportation of raw materials to the United States. Thirty-five manufacturers present at the conference voted to lay the embargo proposal before the con-, vention. President John S. Kent told the executive committee that before the war the United States produced barely 50 per cent of the leather it needed for its own use. The rest was imported from Russia, Germany, Austria, France, Italy and Scandinavia. Not only have these markets been shut off, but the demands for finished material from the United States have enormously increased. The report adopted by the committee declares: "In this period of stress and problem it is the duty of the American government to insist that, if the alIjpQ fnvn f a no ? 1 * ....... I.V uti tui men supplies OI finished material, it would be only right for them to permit raw material from which this leather could be made to come to this country." "Why not meet embargo with embargo?" HEARD WILSON SPEAK As I attended the celebration of the declaration of independence in Charlotte, N. C., on May 20th, 1 want o give you some of the incidents and scenes pertaining thereto. I left Spartanburg at 6 o'clock and arrived at Charlotte at 9. I soon learned that the President and his party would come in at 10 and his arrival would be announced by the firing t)f a cannon. The streets and thoroughfares were packed with an immense crowd and I soon saw that if I saw or heard the President I must make for the grand stand, but when I got in sight of the grand stand the crowd was packed as long as one could be there with men, women and children, all trying to get to the best point to see and hear the President. After standing in that packed place for nearly an hour the cannon fired the signal and a complete rush of people came. The President and his party arrived in about half an hour and the eagerness to see him and his party. You could hear, "That's him!" "There he is!" "Thats Wilson; I know him by his picture, though it does not do him justice." Right here I must say he is a good judge of beauty, for his wife is a beautiful woman and very gracious and charm ing. After the introductions to the governors of North and South Carolina and the party with them, the great parade began. It was two miles long and it seemed like thousands of soldiers in the parade. It will take too much space to attempt to describe the different vehicles but the President gave each one his close attention. Gov. Craig introduced the . President. He only spoke 20 minutes. I was disappointed for I wanted a much longer one. He touched on the celebration and the great patriotism of the forefather but said, in looking back, we must not forget to look forward to what America should do and be. He did not say mujh about the war in Europe, only saying that when i't closed this country would be crown; ed with a prosperity the like of which . had never been seen. They left that - night for Washington. I J. O. Harris.

In the face of the official figure from the recorder's court docket o Augusta, as publi'sed in yesterday' Chronicle, who can deny the benefi cent effects of prohibition? In May, 1915, there were 170 at rests in Augusta for drunkenness am disorderly conduct, and for May, 101 ?the first month of real prohibitioi in this city?there were only thirty four arrests on the same charges. There we have it?just one-fifth a many cases for the recorder's cour as the result of intoxication. And tlr chances are, that as the reins an tightened, from mouth to mouth, num ber of such arrests will grow grad ually smaller; until, maybe, in time fthe sight of a drunken man on tin ' streets of this city will be rare in deed. But even this is not all. The mone; that has heretofore been spent fo whiskey is now going into the chan nels of legitimate trade, or is beinj saved. From every aspect, therefore prohibition has brought an improve ment in local conditions?and it ha; been tried only one month as yet What other law ever placed on th< statute books of Georgia has ever ac complished so much in so. short i time ? Does prohibition prohibit? Ask th< police. Ask the recorder. Is prohibition a success? Ask th< merchant. Ask the banker.

TILLMAN PROVOKES PRAISE FROM UNEXPECTED QUARTER The remarkable spectacle was pre sented this week of leading New Yorl papers lauding to the skies Senato Benjamin R. Tillman, of South Caro lina, the man against whom, not s< many years ago, nothing was toi harsh for them to say. The Chronicle reproduces toda; three editorial extracts, from Tb rp;? o i IT i i n p i- * x mica, oun unu neiani, an ot wnici warmly praise the South Carolim statesman for his great speech agains the $'42,000,000 rivers and harbors bill delivered in the senate on Saturda; last, and they are one in declaring it r.o* only one of the ablest, but om of the most effective speeches hear< in the senate in many years. Just as The Chronicle remarked ' few days ago, they say the aged Soutl Carolinian is still full of force an< fire?"back in his old form," as oni of them puts it?and that he rose t< a high degree of patriotism on thi: occasion. The New York Herald goes so fai as to say that "Occasionally from thi Democratic representation in con press from the South comes a pa triotic broadside which fairly pulver izes and paralyzes the pacificists am the 'pork* plunderers," and that oni of these was delivered by Senate Tillman on the occasion above re ferred to. "Seldom," it says, "has i statesman of any party in congres: in recent years reached the loft; height to which this experienced leg isiator has ascended." Undoubtedly, the people of Soutl Carolina, and of the entire South a for that matter, will feel proud o the record made by Senator Tillmai on this occasion, and many who neve approved of his public course in ih old days, will find it easy to applaui him now. All of which goes to show how time have changed; either the times, o Tillman?or some of us, iricludini those New York newspapers.?Aii gusta Chronicle. ? ?
