Brown of Yorkville, I learned that
the health Of all the South Caroline
prisoners was excellent, excepting one,
who was in the hospital with pneu-

prison will permit, :and are all treat
ed with kindness by those who have
the charge Of them. Their food is
ample and of a good quality; their
cells ar, comfortable, and their work,
which is the manufacturing of shoes,
is easy and pleasant. Captain Pills

Palmetto Orphan Home.


DEAR FRIENDS AND CouNfRYMRN,-
Having been entrusted with the benevo-
lent work of providing home for the
orphans, and other equally unfortunate
children in South Carolina, we thus make
an earnest appeal tor help in this great
work.
The Palmetto Orphan Home was or
ganized last April, and is now progress
ing with encouraging prospects.
The Board of Trustees have adopted a
Constitution and Bylaws which define
the nature, design and mode Of opera
ton Of this institution. Its direct man.
agement is to De by Local Board, CON-
sisting OF nine persons, in The city OF co..
'lumbia, which Board is to be sutJect to
the direction OF the General Board, con-
sisting OF two persons from each county
in the STATE, which is called to meet an
nually in Columbia, at such time as the
Local Board may appoint.
In the choice OF persons to act on these
Boards, and Of the officers OF the institu-
ton, no partiaiity is to be allowed on
account Of. the religious sect to which
persons belong; but all appointments
are to be made Oh the broad principles OF
humanity and charity.
The constitution does not limit the
ages at which the children shall be re-
ceived, but leaves that at the discretion
of the Roard, who are 70 decide from the
nature Of each case as described in the
application.
The Board are desirous of purchasing
suitable ana valuable property now 10,
sale at low figures, for the location of the
Home. We are, therefore, confident
that our appeal to the generous people OF
South Carolina, will at once bring many
liberal donations and pledges, to effect
the permanent establishment Of the.
I" Palmetto Orphan Home" which vii,
be the best monument to the memory OF
our dead we could possibly rear in our
tate.
The Board have appointed Tilman R.
Gaines general agent, to organize aid
committees, and to raise funds for the
Home. And the Board will take pleas
ure in acknowledging all amounts paid
to him or sent directly to US at Columbia.
Donations may be made in money, pro-
visions, clothing and anything that can
be made useful.
All applications for entering children
must be made to the Board.
Address, DR.. J. w. PARKER,
Chairman, Columbia, S. C.
By order Of the Board of Trustees.
