PLEA FOR OLD VETS
GEN. BROOKS URGES THAT THEY
BE GIVEN PENSIONS.
The State Should See to 1t That None
Of Her Old Heroes Wont the Nee
eSSarieS Of Life.

The following plea for the old SOL
diers OF South Carolina is made by
Gen. U. R. Brooks throughout the
columns Of The State:
10 the Editor Of The State:
There is class of soldiers now
70 years old and upwards who can
not go to the Soldiers home, be-
cause their wives are living, and, as
the law does not provide a place for
these noble women, their husbands.
no matter how feeble they are, can
not and will not desert them. l know
some who are renting land that have
lived three score and ten, and vet
they plow; and their wives, who
were tried and true during the war,
and by this time, SO years after that
terrible struggle, tired and worn bv
the fatigues of the farm. What can
be more pathetic? 1t is reasonable
that these old soldiers have at least
Sll month, and that their widows
lecelVe the same amount.
Old soldiers, the State owes it to
you for service rendered. You stood
by the constitution of the United
States as it was during the bloody
days OF the war. The Northern SOL
dlers rebelled against it. You did not.
You fought, and have received no re-
ward. You carried on points of your
paynoets Ylstory over many bloody
helds, winning the plaudits of your
enemies at the time. You represen,
the true type of the American SOL
d1er. You are now unable to work.
You need rest; you need comfort in
your derlining years.
Our great State, the greatest old
commonwealth in the Union, is able
and willing to give every Confeder-
ate soldier what was paid to him
during the war, $11 per month. Sure
ly, the noble men of our general as
sembly will not refuse S11 to those
OF us who have reached three score
and ten, especially the ones who
live by manual labor. They stood the
cold, the heat, and frequently fought
as long as three days without food.
In their nakedness they won battles
and ate the food that was prepared
for the Northern soldiers, after driv-
ing them from their luxurious camps
The world has never produced bet
ter soldiers than the men who fol-
lowed the great Robert e. Lee.
Our Confederacy died aid battle,
It's life crushed out by tread of over
Whelming numbers Its memories are
It's own. Soon all who fought for the
Stars and Bars will be beneath the
sod. Our dead are imperishable mem
ories of what is left to us Of the
dead nation.
Comrades, your valor has been
told in song and stor,. The principles
for which you fought will never die.
Eternal right, though all things foil,
can never be made wrong.
"Ah, Muse, you dare not claim.
A nobler man than he,
Nor nobler man hath less of blame,
Nor blamless man hath purer
name,
Nor purer name hath grander fame,
Nor fan!e--another Lee"

flushed Is the roll of the Confeder-
ate drum,
The sabre's sheathed, and the can
non are dumb;
And Fate with pitiless hand has furl-
ed
The flag that once challenged the
gaze of the World"
