The Old Soldiers Home.

MIR. EDITOR: The action of Camp
Stephen D: Lee, U. G. w., in regard to
the Old Soldiers Home was q mosh re-
markable thing, and can only be ex-
planned upon the hypothesis that those
who voted against a Home for INDECENT
soldiers were misled by the specious ar
g1ment that those in favor Of the es-
tablisliment of snch q refuge were like
wise IN favor of cutting down the pen
sions of old soldiers. No such idea has
ever been entertained by any one who
advocates the establishment of the
Confederate Home. On the contrary,
the friends of the measure are ,the
friends of all the old soldiers, and want
TO see their pensions increased rather
than diminished. Somehow ithe idea
seems to prevail that if the plan is
carried out the old soldiers who now
haye pensions would be cCmpelled to
relinquish them and accept O. place in
the Home Those who have promul-
gated th. idea must know that it is
without ground and foundation. The
purpose Of those who are working to
procure this building is to provide re-
fuge for these old soldiers who, by ren-
son OF intirmities, wounds. diseases or
any other cause. are wholly unable to
provide for themselves aid who have
no one upon whom they can lean in the
last years Of their lives for support. 1t
otAaChC SAOhtly VI ASttTtlobS boIuHllucSS
on the part of those who, having homes
OF their own, are receiving pensions,
and yet oppose the establishment of q
place of refuge for those who have no
home nor kindred nor friends to sup
port them. I for one do not believe
that the vote of Stephen d. Lee Camp
Is an expression OF the opinion of the
majority OF the people in this County
on this subject. It is idle to say that
there are no old soldiers in such indi-
gent circumstances as to be without
some means OF support, or. some kim
dred or some friends upon whom they
can rely. have never heard it denied
that there are some such in ts.o Door
house OF this County, and have seen
1T stated In the papers that there are
such in the poor houses Of other Coun-
ties. The County poor house of An
dersOn County is splendidly kept, and
is indeed home; nevertheless,
those who inhabit it are regarded as
paupers, dependent uponithe public for
| support. Now, do not want cny old
soldier to be placed in such position;
l want him to have home built Iex-
clusively for him by HE State as an ex-
preston Of its gratitude to him for his
gallant and patriotic servicesin her be-
half-a home in which he will feel that
he has an absolute right to be, and in
which he vii, feel that heis an honored
| guest OF the state of South Carolina.
Yours very truly,

direct a slap which the Secretary thinks
would not be warran ted, considering

the kind is admitted, but there is little
doubt that he is removed by direct
orders of President Roosevelt, who, as
Assistant Secretary Of War, has good
the responsible duties devolviDg upon
him. Naturally. his perversion OF
facts in the Schley case has something
to do with it, but the principe, cause is
