County Boards Should Have Reports Before the First Day of March But Only Two Have Done So. The State says up to this time re ports as to pensions have been sent to the comptroller ge. ral's office from only two counties?Chester and Wil liamsburg. This is unfortunate as the apportionment will be delayed materi ally. The law provides that the fund should be distributed April 1st.' The process of making pension re ports is practically simple. In eacb county on the Saturdays in January the pension commissioner is in his of fice in the court house to receive ap plications, etc. He prepares these pa pers and submits them to tbe county pension board which passes upon them on the first Monday in February and again on the first Monday in March. The complete list is then sent to the State pension board. On the report are placed the names of all new pension ers, all old pensioners, transfers from county to county, the various classes and years, etc. The reports are made out on regular forms which are furnished by, tbe State pension board. The ones' pre pared under the latest laws are de signed "Applications under Code and Acts 1902," and these should include: Class A. Those who as a result of wounds received in the war are phys ically helpless, or who while in such service lost both arms, or both legs, or are totally blind, whether the re sult of service or not, or who are dis abled by paralysis and are unable to make a living, and whose income or his wife's d?es.not exceed $150. This does not include soldiers whose dis abilities arise from diseases and caus es arising since the war, except those totally blind. Class B.Those who have lost one arm or one leg and whose income or his wife's does not exceed $150. Class C, No. I. Those soldiers and sailors disabled by wounds received during the war, whose income or his wife's does not exceed 875. Class C, No. 2. Those soldiers whose income does not exceed $75, irrespec tive of age. Class C, No. 3. Widows of those who lost their lives while in the service of tbe State or Confederate States, and whose income does not exceed $100. Where a widow of a Confederate sol dier marries after the death of her second husband, she is entitled to ap ply and draw a pension on account of the services of her first husband, pro vided she is entitled under the other provisions of tbe pension law. Such widow must apply in her own proper name, but at the same time state that she is asking for a pension as the* widow of her dead hur-band, giving hi name, company and regiment, etc. Class C, No. 4. Widows above the age of 60 years whose income does not exceed $100, or if not 60 years of age, can receive a pension if married at close of war. The pensions are: Class A. $8 per month; Class B, $6 per month: Class C, No. 1, $4 per month; Class C, No. 2, $3 per month; Class C, No. 3, $4 per month; Class C, No. 4, $3 per month. Tbe pension board consisting of A. W. Jones, comptroller general, chair man; W. D. Starling, W. IT. Hardin, Dr. B. M. Lebby, Dr. E. P. Griffin, surgeon, says: '"County boards cannot be too care ful in these matters of 'income' or 'physical condition.' "He is a very poor man whose gross income from labor, rent and other sources does not exceed $75, or poor lands, if any, that will not produce this amount gross. "Property sutlieient to produce $75 in applicant's or his wife's name de bars him. "Where soldiers or widows dispose of their?property bv giving or selling to their children, they are debarred. "Pensioners who move to another State are not entitled to a pension. The pension law provides that this fund shall be distributed April 1st: therefore, it is very important that: you mail the pension lists, with the approved applications of your county, j promptly on the lirst Monday inj March. "Let county boards act promptly and fairly, giving the State board full information, with complete reports | for each county, writing the names alphabetically, full and clear, begin ning with Class A, and giving their reasons for approving. "In making reports to the State board the reports should be signed by each member of the county pension board."

The Aiken correspondent of The News and Courier says when Benjamin Buford, the white man found guilty of manslaughter in killing the negro, Larry Blackmore, was presented be fore Judge Purdy for sentence, he was asked by his honor if he had anything to say why sentence of the court should not be passed upon him. Buford replied: ''Nothing your honor," and held up the lapel of his coat, on which was pinned the emblem of the Masonic Fraternity. He had previously given a sign, which Judge Purdy, being a Mason, did not fail to recognize. The man's object was evident and Judge Purdy strenly said: "That badge can do you no good here. You are not fit to wear it. Throw it away. You have violated all that is good and noble that emblem represents, and you are no brother of mine. The sentence of the court is that you shall serve twelve years in the state penitentiary at hard labor. You can thank your counsel for saving your neck. Cancer Cured by Blood Balm.

A dispatch from Ilartsville to The State says Lawrence Scott, a white man living nearby, and running a farm for Mr. O. D. Lee, was arrested Wed nesday for the burning of Mr. Dwight Harrington's barn some ten days be fore Christmas. It will be remembered that Mr. Harrington's barn, stock and supplies were burned and he was left severely crippled under this great loss. A negro was arrested at the time and it was reported that he had confessed to the deed. Subse quently the negro escaped from jail at Darlington and has not been recap tured. But there must have been something wrong about his alleged confession, for Scott was arrested Wednesday and taken to Darlington for a preliminary hearing Thursday. Fearful Odds Against Him.

Relief from the aches and pains of a bad back is always welcome to every backache sufferer, but to cure a lame, weak or aching back is what is wanted. Cure it so it will stay cured. 11 can be done. ? Here's the strongest evidence to prove it: ? lt. C. Wright, proprietor of Wright's Hotel, Columbia, S. C. says: "It is with pleasure that I add my name to the long list of endorsers of Doan's Kidney Pills. I used them and was bcnelitted very much and can recom mend them highly. I had suffered for several years and my back bad been very weak across the loins and I suf fered from a steady aching or pain. The kidney secret ions were very dark, full of sediment and irregular some times very scant and at other times so free as to be troublesome, compelling me to get up often in the night. I consulted a physician about it but got very little satisfaction and I used sev eral proprietary remedies and tried plasters as> well but I remained about the same until I saw Doan's Kidney Pills advertised. Dr. Thomas spoke so highly cf them that I concluded to try*them and was much surprised at the results. The secretions have been cleared up. My back has become stronger and I have not had backache since usingi them. You can use my name if you choose and I hope it will be the means of. relieving some other sufferers."
