Il seams that the papers Of our town would

are some who do not care 10 understand.
We quote from the official letter of the CON-
ni,tee, as follows: We thought 1t perhaps
would be better TO ha the officers e1pend the
fund, believing that more good could De ac'
complished in tha, way. For this reason zee
authorized telegram to you to use your d'sere'
tion in the matter We are very sorry tsas
the plans proposed by the of1cers were oos
approved by tn, men and onr efforts ana
yours apparently uoappreciated .
In the letter to Sergt. Miller, we quote as
follows: We hope that yeu understand that
the commissioned officers acted w'th au-
Meri.y from, as by Telegram to uss e
money as Aey thought best for the Interest
of the men, out as the men OF your CON-
pany did oot seem to approve of the plan
suggested ty the officers. we deem it best that
it be distributed as originally Intended "
We hope the above is plain enough to any
one. We apologies to the committee for ha7-
ing occasion to quote portions of their official
communicauoss TO the con miss'oued officers
aud to Sergr. Miller We hoB thss those
who think We nsgnl6ed ourselves officially,
ETC., are but few. We feel assured that the
good people of Sumter know end believe that
we acted With authority, and for The best To-
terest of our men.
There are many situations that We, who are
