Col. William B. Brinton, president
of the Peru PlUw WORK has been
frequently quoted as being opposed
to the agitation of the trust question
and a. saying that these institutions
are a natural outgrowth of business
conditions. and that they have come
to stay.
If Mr.. Brinton ever occupied the
position with which he was credited.
he has left il, for ne is now one of
the warmest antitrust advo .ates in
the country. Hi, present position is
due to events as related BY him self
as follows: We work nearly four
hundred men and are very busy.
Our plant is fitted up with oil furnaces
which were put in at a cost of so. 900.
This was done at a time when oil was
selling at Up cents per gallon. As
soon as We were we'll under way, the
Standard Oil trust began to put up
the price, and the last lot cost Us 6.5S
cents per gallon. We can't help our
selves, for the trust controls the oil
supply, and we cannot purchase else
where. We cannot use coal for fuel
without changing our furnaces at
cost of $4,000, and besides, to do
that would compel us to suspend
work for 90 days, when we are full of
orders. 1t is an outrage from which,
under existing laws. there is no es-
cape. l suppose Rockefeller is get
ting ready to give another million to
some university. OF course this in
crease in the price of oil prevents us
from advancing the wages of our en-
ployes. besides cutting into our pro-
hts, and while the sons and daughters
Of well-to-dO people are reaping the
advantage of Rockefeller's generosity
to the university, the children of
working men cannot get clothes in
which to attend the public schools
decently on account of the oil kings
hoggishness. This trust business is
hurting those who are the least able
to stand it

PENSIONS FOR PATRIOTS
The Amount to be Received by tho
Different Classes.

Twelve dollars and thirty cents is the
allowance of seven thousand and fifty
one pensioners of the State of South
Carolina. This is the allowance not
Tor month, but for twelve months.
1t is what the State allows it's pen
sioners, soldiers OF the Lost Cause. who
are more than 60 years of age and who
come, or widows of old soldiers who
may be similarly circumstanced. Old
soldiers who were wounded and who
have an income not in excess of $3.50 n
year are in the same class. Then there
is another class known as Glass b,
which numbers 362 and these are each
TO get sl6.40 for the year. Glass A,
which is made up of those totally help
less, receive S72 year and 1t numbers
forty-eight.
This is how the $4,000 appropriat-
ed by the State of South Carolina for
its INDECENT Confederate pensioners is
distributed. 1t is q great deal for the
State to do for its soldiers, according
TO the views of he economic members OF
the General Assembly. but it shows how
little there is in the pensions for each
feel constrained to apply to the State
for which they fought. 1t is a charity
which is not asked for by all who de-
serve 1t. For many years the old SOL
diers felt Il delicacy about asking for
the pension the State offered Now that
delicacy is passing away to certain
extent and the pension lists this year
are six hundred larger than they were
last year. The increases and the
strength of the lists are largely notice
able in the border counties on the
North Carolina line.
1t is hard matter to confine the
lists to those who are striitly entitled
TO the benefits of he pension appropria-
ton. The county boards. made up OF
old soldiers, have to be relied upon to
large extent, in fact practically en-
tirely. Ii frauds creep in 1t cannot be
the fault of the State board, as the
greatest publicity is given to the lists
that arc approved and circumstances
show that most of the counties are ex-
tremely rigid in their regulations and
examinations.
The checks for the pension money
were made out Friday. The rolls for
Chesterfield and Florence Coonty are
not exactly Strengthened out and in
formation has been solicited on them
and no roll or return has even yet been
received from Charleston. The State
board estimated the Charleston list to
be about the same as il was last year
but, of course, can send no money Ia
the pensioners in Charleston until the
approvaed list is received here and
checked up. The cause of the delay in
Charleston is not explained.
