Later it was increased to $100,000. Yesterday Col. J. H. Brooks' bill to increare the fund .t150,000 was taken up, but instead of passing it at that amount, the bonse, on motion of Mr. Rucker, decided io increase the pension appropriation to $200,000. In years past Confederate veterans who were miembers of the house have Shad to plead for the pension appropria tion. Yesterday, however, the gallant old "Rebs" were called upon mereily to thank the sons of veterans for pass *ing the bill. Tue bill passed second reading wi hout serious trouble. Capt. J.' Hampdent Broo~ks called for the special order for the day, bis bill to increase the pension fand from $100,000 t o $150,000. Gen. W E. James of Darlington, for the committee, flly explaine'd the~ bill and in a business-like manner went over the whole situation.

Gen. James paid a high tribute t.. the gallant old sodiers and how the .lists were now increasing. Mr. Racker of Andersen wan'ed the :appropriationl raised It o $200,000. He -did net believe any county would ob ject to the increase and it w as needled. in Georgia the pension fund has been $494,000 and recently it was raised t. $894,000. He urged eloquently that the bon-e adopt the amendment which he presented. Mr. McMaster made an eloquent speech. Trhe people I f South Garo hina never hesitated at the cost wt b' the State seceded. Now lin the pros pet ity of the Srite, should the old sol diera be neglected for cost? He re ferred bean, i:nly to the author of the bill. Mr. Brooks, who whenu wounded and dying on the bat'lefield begged that bi. bod y be placed upon the ramn parts to prot.ect his comrades. Mr. Efird said that the taxable prop erty in the State is $179,000 000 The' levy of 5 mills Wil bring atbout $895. 000. The house has altes-; given $50, 000 to tbe Uharle-ton ex t o.ition It the increase he rraraed the qgustion will be wh-ther or tot t i a'-.se th. levy. He moved to adj urn debxte until th- apropriati' n bifl id act.-d upon in or der tha- the h')u e might se how much it cou d appropt i .te to th needy old soldiers Tbiq was voted down.

'OBEA] word against the sol jers of the Con . deracy, and he would cheerfully vote for the appropriation If it would not increase the levy. Mr. Wilson said that he had intended to sneak at length upon the bill, but as the young men of the house are-going to favor the bill he would stand on the at-r ant RAP ths and old train go by. And why sbould not the voung en of the house pass the bill? Nearly every one of them represents a noble father, dead or living, who followed the destiny of the Southern Conteder scy. This is a tribute to the needy though not all the deserving Centeder ate-for all were deservmng. Mr. Galluchat of Clarendon was glad that Mr. Efi'd bad called attention to hbe figures. for ic had brought nut the fire iin the old Confederate (Mr. Detan). He spoke of the need of cont ederate urvivors as a more pressing dematnd than to keep the tax levy within its recent n-cepe Mr. S rom said he would be nn northn, of a Confederate sire if be did to favor t13 bill. He would favor the jicrease tax levy for any .one of three purposes-public schools, good roads or pensions. Mr. Nicholas wanted the house to give the appropriation with one voice rn order the~t the outaide world might see what the sons of veterans think of the cause of their gallant sires. Mr. Beawgaard as a son of a Con federt'r solaier wanted to see the old ..diers eased down to their graves. e tavored the bill. Mr. R. B A. Robinson said that durir~g the past year six of his old compaav had died. The time will o .n 1)e'here when we can do nothing for the Confederate soldier. as they will all be gone. Capt. Brooks, author of thbe bill, de lined to make a speech, but he thanked the members of the house. especially he young men wno had r-llied to the upport of the bill, lHe thanked God for the young manhood of the Stat". Capt.
