VETERANS MEMORIAL
To the General Assembly for Modifica
tion of Pension Law.

Camp PreSSley, Onlteu Con
federate veterans, at a meeting
held on the second Monday ir
September, 1901, having under
consideration the pension law,
and desiring to have the said
law so amended that the pay of
all widows of Confederate sol,
diers and sailors may be made
equal, adopted the following
resolutions:
That committee of five mem,
bers of the Camp be appointed
to memorialize the General AS
sembly, through the Williams
burg delegation, in regard to the
changes desired in the pension
law.
The committee met on Decem-
Der 5, 1904, in pursuance of the
above resolution and prepared
the following memorial to be
presented to the General AS
lsembly by the county delegation,
to wit:
Whereas, we believe that
great injustice has been done by
the pension law to those widows
of Confederate soldiers and
sailors who have died since the
war, inaSmuch as they receive
the small allowance of SIG per
year, while those widows OF sol
diers and sailors whose hus-
bands died from sickness and
disease during the war receive
S48 annually; and,
Whereas, We find that those SOL
diers and sailors who died during
the war were neither Drawer
nor more patriotic than those
who died since the war;
Therefore, we do most res
pectfully petition the General
Assembly, Q) that at its next
session, to be held some time in
January, 1905, in it's wisdom ii
may see fit to amend the said
provision of the pension law so
as to carry into effect the
changes suggested and request
ed in the above resolution; and,
" hereas, We witness with
regret the growing decrepitude
OF those old soldiers and sailors
in class G. 2, many of whom are
physically unable to, perform
any laborlous work, we do also
respectfully petition the Gener-
al Assembly (2) to amend the
said pension law so that the
pay OF the soldiers and Sailors
belonging to class c. =: may be
increased.
In order to attain the ends
sought for in this memorial it is
the request of the committee
that Representative Stoll pre-
sent it to the General Assembly
and use his best efforts along
with the other members of the
county delegation to have the
necessary changes made in the
pension law; and we do hereby
appeal to every patriotic mem,
Der of the assembly to aid in
furthering the laudable ends OF
this petition.

We wonder how many people
in our county know that the first
cotton factory in this State was
in Williamsburg. Maj Harry
Hammond, in an article pre-
pared for the Encyclopedia
Americana, which article is be-
ing sent out by the commits
sioner Watson, in giving the
history of manufactures in
South Carolina, says: "a cot.
ton factory was established in
t874 at Murray's Ferry. Will
liamsburg, and one at States
burg a few years later" AS
this is the first mention and ear
liest date of cotton factory in
this State, the statement is
equivalent to a positive delara-
ton that the Murray's Ferry
mill was the pioneer in that in
dustry, in which South Carolina
now leads the entire South and
is excelled by only one State in
the Union.
