Columbia, March 29-In the reor-
ganization of the Confederate home,
Superintendent H. W. Richardson, of
Columbia, mas been succeeded by Capt.
]. L. Wardlaw, of Columbia, Wtcose
wife was chosen matron, and DR.. F. w.
P. Butler has been succeeded by DR..
E. P. Derrick. THE reorganization was
effected by the new board recently ap-
pointed by the governor, under the
i act passed by the last legislature.
The superintendent and matron will
be required to live at the infirmary.
Col. D. A. Dickert, of Newberry, was
formerly member of the board, but
/ rendered his resignation before the
new appointments were made
In tie course OF nature this institu-
tion will in few years be useless. As
matter of fact, it is contended by
many who honor and love the old SOL
.diers and c3erish the memory for
which they fought, the home 81 as never
met the need which it was urged by
| the advocates for its establishment
/ that it would meet. 1t would be fine
thing if the State could furnish nome
for all the needy veterans, but the
number in the present institution is
necessarily limited to a very meager
proportion.
AN article by John Blackburn sphysi-
cal director of the University of South
Carolina, published in TIE co1umbia
State, sets forth the remarkably fine
record made by the CHAMPION basket
ball team of Newberry college the past
season, characterizing the Newberry
team as ''the best college team ever
developed in this State He places
the order of the teams as follows:
! Newberry, Wofford, Citadel, Glenn
son, Carolina, Furman, Erskine, Clin-
ton and Charleston college,
"Newberry," he says, has an undis-
puted claim to the first place. Their
decisive defeat of lWiofford in the play
off for the championship left no doubt
as to this The only game lost by then
was to Wofford in Spartanburg. With
most of their last years team back
and the addition of some new expert
enced material they turned out wort
may be considered as the best college
team ever developed in this State"
He places three of Newberry's play
ers on the all-South Carolina team,
and one on a second team the selec-
tions being as follows:
All South Carolina team:
Ashbaug1, (Newberry), center.
Earle (Wofford), forward.
Baker (Newberry), forward.
Danner (Carolina), guard.
MacLean (Newberry), guard, cap
tain.
A second team, whic:. is the cnoice
of Mr.. Blackburn, reads as follows:
Folger (Citadel), center, captain.
Bowen Carolina), forward
! Patrick (CitadeD, forward
}, Paschal (Newberry), guard.
Gee (Clemson), guard
This is fine showing for NeWberry
in this clean sport, and is a source
of qualification to the many Columbia
i alumni and former students of the in
stitution.
/ Mr.. A. H. Hawkins, OF Prosperity,
and DR.. Geo. B. iCromer, of Newberry.

DR.. James P. Kinard, formerly OF
Newberry, later professor in Winthrop
college, then in tie Citadel, and now
president of Anderson college, was in
Columbia this week. In a statement
given to the press he says that Ander-

tion than it is today. An actiIe can
vass will soon begin for the purpose
of raising 100000 for the institution.

will certainly get the remainder from
the rest Of the State
