The Old Soldiers Home.

MIR. EDITon: notice that al the
meetings of the old soldiers they are
discussing the question of building II
soldiers home. | want to say that
am heartily in favor of doing some
thing for them, as don't consider
what we are doing anything worthy of
the Name OF pensiOns. but | have my
satisfactory. | believe that the State
OF South Carolina ought to give to the
old soldiers ut Ioast sixty dollars
year. whether his income is one or two
hundred dollars, or whatever it may
be. think we should give them n
support and let them stay at their
homes with their families. dare say
that it you build a soldiers home there
will be scores OF old soldiers who would
prefer their log cabins with their fami-
lies to u mansion away from them.
According to nature, Mr.. Editor, it
will not be long until the last Confed-
crate soldier will have passed over the
river, and think it is high time the
State should take care of them. 1t
will be too late when the last one has
gone. IT would be better to give a
to build Il monument to his grave.
believe that South Carolina is able
to support every old soldier in comfort
If she will cut off the cxtravagant ex-
penditure to the State institutions
where the rich mans sons are educated
at the expense of the common nennle.
Since ! have been trying to serve my
County in the Legislature have tried
to save the taxpayers all could, but
when it comes to the appropriation for
the charitable institutions and for the
old Conf"derate soldiers, am always
ready to give them all they ask for. !
sincerely hope that something may be
said that will cause every old soldier
to rise in his might and demand from
those who represent them their rights.
Very respectfully,
JOSHUA w. ASHLEY.
