VETERANS, SONS, DAUGHTERS.
They Ali Ask That the Work be Hone
Before II is Too Late. The
Present Rolls in Bad
Shape.

! daughters and s0rS have determined
upon will neccSSitate some expenses
and the legislature is asked to apprO-
pirate the money necessary. Again
| the present rolls are in constant use
| and are in danger Of being absolutely
worn out from daily lingering. The
attention Of the general assembly has
| been called to this by the custodian
who has made the suggestion that
they be printed in book form and adds
| that the sale Of the books will proba-
bly, pay for the expense incurred. The
printing of these rolls in this way will
Of course greatly facilitate the work
! that the veterans organization wishes
to undertake. The memorial on the
subject was presented to the general
assembly Thursday and reads as fol-
lows:
| To the General Assembly Of South
Carolina:
Your mem0rialstS. constituting Il
! joint committee Of the South Carolina
division OF United Confederate Neter-
ans and Sons OF Veterans. respectfully
| represent:
! The text Of the resolution is quot

tionS adopted by the sons

holding that there has never been a
worthier human cause better incarnat-
ed than in the Confederate soldier.
deem it unnecessary to say more than
to emphasize the absolute necessity
for legislative action, in order that the
men who fought for their country
shall live in their country's history.
The plan proposed by the Veterans,
endorsed by the Sons Of Veterans, en-
bodied in the foregoing resolutions,
seems to be the most practicable yet
suggested for the complete enrolment
of the soldiers Of the Confederacy en-
listed from this State.
The Hon. John P. Thomas and his
worthy predecessors (all honor to them)
undertook this work. but for want Of
financial aid were Of necessity COM
PEELED 20 abandon it. The Confeder-
ale Veterans and Sons Of Veterans
have succeeded to their laborS.
The proposed plan, briefly stated, is
to secure the name Of every COnfeder-
ate soldier, by means Of committee
in each county Of the State. operating
through a committee Of committees in
each township of every county: so that
there shall not be omitted from the
official confederate rolls Of the State
the name of a single man who respond
ed to the call to arms The work
will be considered a privilege. as well
as a sacred duty by those to whom it
shall be entrusted.
It is believed that this method of
enrolment will also be an important
aid to the proper officials in the deter
mination OF claims for pensions, as it
is now sometimes difficult for meritor-
iouS, but needy veterans, to obtain
the requisite certificates to entitle
their claims to the favorable consider
alton of the pension boards.
