TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND
Tbe House has Voted 8200,000 for t a -'d
Veteras of south Carolna
The house of representatives yester
v morning decided to double the
fund appropriated for the assistance
'of id ' af erste soldiers aind their
t. e ppropria i n whe
Art made waik$50.000. 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. The
general classes of pensioners have
gotten the following amounts: 1889.
$33.40; 1890. $24.26; 2891. $23.00;
1892.$23 013; 1893 $22.00; 1895, $21.75;
1896. cla's 0, 419.40; 1897, cluss c,
$16.3; 1900, cla-s, C, $12 30.
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.
Mr. Dean of Spartanrg, a gallat
Confederate sddier, spoke tcelngh~ of
the serv'ce' of the Conuf-der-. te sold er.

. 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

Mr. S rom said he would be nn
northn, of a Confederate sire if be did
to favor t13 bill. He would favor the

purposes-public schools, good roads
or pensions.
Mr. Nicholas wanted the house to
give the appropriation with one voice

Mr. Beawgaard as a son of a Con
federt'r solaier wanted to see the old

compaav had died. The time will

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. Bank., a Confederate soldier
who had shed blood hitmself and had
