Editors of TiiK Cot 101.11 : I soc in The Statu an oller by sumo one to donato (ive. hundred dollars for thc establishment of a (20,000 Cou fedora to homo. While this is a very worthy and commendable purpose, 1 think tho following a much belter plait : 1st. Let each county raise, say $10,000, and with this sum buy one ar two good farms in the counties raising the money, and dot these farms over wit h neat col tages, and allow ouch one a house and say fifteen or twenty acres of good land as a home fret; of rent for life, ami Iel tho qualification for a homo be: That the applicant must bc a maimed Confederate soldier or widow; that he owns no land, and that he or she is not able to buy a homo. A nice home ol' this kin.I and the small pension they receive and what they could make Oil this place each county ought to provide in this way to make al least forty ol' the most worthy and disa bled spend their remaining days ill com parative ease. Say each county would provide for forty and forty times forty would be about sixteen hundred ol them could bo taken oil of rented land ami placed into homes of their own for life, and the State would he no poorer hy such a charitable course. i mean for every dollar to bc raised by private sub scription, and winni the last,one of these noble old veterans shall have crossed over the river and are resting under the shade, then let these homes be sold and the. money returned lo tin- heirs of the donors, and in this way it will only bc a loan for lifo without interest. Let us start a home, if ou a small scale, in Oconcc, and some big hearted physician will do tho practice gratis, ami some big hearted merchant will sell them goods at cost. An old crippled Confederate sol (lier, without money or home is almost sure to be without friends, and seem to bo looked on as simply unfortunate, without a ray of hope for a brighter day. 2d. The writer ol' lids will give >>0<i lo start a $10,000 home in < Icoiico, or thc same in proportion l'or a smaller home. Como, Iel us rally around the men who carried the Hag, although that Hag bo no more. Ol.li COM 1:0. Colonel Hoyt Will Not bc Harrell. The Slate of Thursday says: When UlO pledge of Col. .lames A.
