SAYS THERE IS GRAFT
COL. D1CKERT RESIGNS AS MEM
BER OF BOARD.
Will Keep On "Fighting Until This
Thing of Grating at the Confed-
crate Home is Stopped.


II resigned this afternoon and the
governor refused to accept my resig-
nation. I intend to keep on fighting
until this thing Of grating at the
Confederate home is stopped" says
Col. D. A. Dickert of Newberry, men,
Der of the commission charged with
the administration of the affairs Of
the home, Tuesday, following what is
reported to have been stormy ses-
sion Of the board.
The members of the commission
are D. A. Dickert, Newberry; J. T.
Crews, Laurens; J. G. Long, Sr., Un-
ion; A. T. Todd, Charleston, and NJ.
c. Welch of Columbia, an inmate of
the home.
Col. Dickert told the story Of the
meeting Tuesday afternoon. He said
that the board decided to continue
H. W. Richardson as superintendent
and DR.. F. W. P. Butler as physician,
at least until the April meeting.
1--WE met out at the Confederate
home in executive session for the
purpose of reorganizing. I nominal
ed J. G. Long ST., as chairman and j.
r. Crews as secretary Of the board.
They were elected. It was then that
A. W. Todd took the floor and in a
smooth voice began to nominate H.
W. Richardson and DR.. F. W. P.
Butler. Mr.. Todd wanted to retain
all Of the present officers. Todd said
something in reply to one Of my Ques-
tions. 7 protested against the action
of Todd. He invited me out of the
room. l told him that it was not ne
cessary to leave the room, that we
would settle the entire matter then
and there When I entered that
room I knew that Richardson and
Butler had things fixed up sa as 20 be
reelected. I kicked on their plan"
Col. Dickert said that following the
executive meeting he returned to the
room TO find Mrs. Mixson saying
some very hard things about him. 90
asked her who made the statement
that I had tried to reflect on her man
agement. She told me that it was

language denouneing Maj. Richard

"Following the meeting I went tc

he did not intend to stand for the
same proceedings at the home. HI
said that he would call them all VI
and stop the abuses of the rules,

'In the first place Richardson ant

places without my knowledge. wa:

It was stated Tuesday by Col
Dickert that the next meeting of the
commission will be held in April ant
that a majority of the members de
cided to retain all Of the present EN-
ployees Of the home until that date.

Made a Large Haul.

Burglars in New York made a big
haul Sunday. Martin Simons & Sons,
pawn brokers in Hester street, were
the victims, and the property stolen
includes 100000 worth of jewelry,
diamonds and other precious stones,
and $4,000 worth of negotiable Sc
curities.

Oregon made famous in the Spanish
American war, is obsolete and ready

eff I take the committee on ap-
propriations, I can help reduce ex-
penses; if I take the committee on
interstate commerce, I can assist in
'unscrambling the eggs; if I take
the committee on naval affairs. I can
resist as best I may may the clamor
which has been nursed by the money
of the steel manufacturers and ar
mor-plate people for an ever-increas-
ing navy. My strength is limited as
you know; my will is equal to any
task. I realize every day more and
more that for the purposes OF this

So fruitful has been the work OF
the Boys Corn clubs in the South
that the Federal Department of Agri-

can accomplish for her rural inter-
ests throughout the country.

Tillman and Smith favor the appoint

I used the word "Progressives" in
that interview. The reporter chang

hastily revised the interview, did
not note the change in the language.

brought about Bacon's defeat were
