Is it possiblo that this is another caso of tho wolf story, a?d that after fooling tho pooplo timo and again, tho promotora will build tho road when everybody has lost faith in thoir cries? Tho following is taken from a dispatch from Toledo, Ohio, in tho finan cial department of tho Now York Sun of Soptombor 20: "It comes from an absolutely roliablo source that tho ontiro scheme for financ ing tho Black Diamond systom of rail roads will bo consummated in a fow days. This comprisos a lino of road from Toledo to Chicago, through Cincinnati and Columbus to Port Royal, S. C.

Bell, STATE CONFEDERATE PENSIONS. \nnual Report ot the Chairman of tho State Pension Board-6,603 Pensioners. Columbia, September 23.-Tho outlook now is that a homo for Confederate sol diers will bo established iu this State. Tho Coufcdornto votoraus at thoir last annual gathering adopted resolutions looking to that oud and it now sooms ns if tho sohomo is takiug. For years tho old sold lore thought a groat deal moro good could bo accompliBliod by distribut ing all tho fund and lotting tho ponBion ors holp thoniBolvos at homo. It is doubt ful if ovou now tho soldiors' homo idoa is tho best. It will necessarily moan giving au u ii dun nh mo of tho pousion fund to tho fow who go to tho homo, or that so many will go to tho homo as t J mako tho cost vory much moro than is anticipated. Tho nor oapita for support at a homo omi hardly bo a cont, loss than $150 por an num, and this docs not include tho initial invostmont for tho building and furni ture. Tho votornns scorn to want tho homo, and that alono may assuro it. for tho State has unfortunately dono but little for its old soldiers and heroes, but tho offoct it will havo upon thoso pensioners who remain at homo and who got what Stato aid thoy oan nt homo, havo homo help for tho balance, ought to bo sacredly guarded. Tho ligaros for thiB year show that out of tho 0,503 pensioners ill the Stato, 0,201 aro in tho most numerous class, "C," and rocoivo $14.70, aud ah) reduction in this amount to go to sup port a soldiors' homo would moko it so* moagro as to bo niggardly. Tho soldiors' homo appropriation ought to bo mado entirely separate and distinct from tho general pension appropriation. Tho Stato Pousion Board has dono caref ul and oiVcotivo work this year and has saved at ovory possiplo point. Comp troller Gonoral Dornam and tho clerk of tho board, Miss Kate F. Maher, havo dono hard work. Miss Maher is deoply int crested in lior work, knows hoi* pen sioners thoroughly, and after months of work has proparod a moBt olaborato re port giving tho name, address, company and regiment of ovory pousionor, or tho votoran upon whoso record tho pousion is granted. Those lists ought to bo care fully scrutinized to detect possiblo fraud, as ncithor tho Stato Board nor tho County Hoards can know tho history of ovory CUBO. Mr. Dcrhani has framed tho prelimi nary to his annual report and it makes a must i ot cres! i ng showing. It is ns fol lows: To tho Honorablo Gonoral Assombly: I submit horowith tho annual pension re port of this olllco for tho year 1001 : Undor Act of tho Gonoral Assembly, 11)00, tho Stato Board proparod blank applications for tho applicants and rules for tho guidance of tho Comity POUS?OO Boards. For tho information of mem bers of tho County Boards in tho Stato and others to whom this report will bo sent, I havo included tho pousion law and rules. Tho board, under tho terms of tho Act, ruled that a Coufcdornto soldior or sai lor, totally disabled by paralysis, was entitled to a Class A pension, notwith standing tho fact that ho receives no wound or bodily injuries in tho sorvico and tho causo of paralysis could not bo traced to such service. They also con strued tho law that a soldior who lost a limb in tho servico of tho Stato or Con federate States, and is now a wreck physically, could not bo placed in Class A, but was entitled to Class B, tboro being nothing to show that his physical condition was tho result of injuries re ceived in sorvico. In some instances applicants were blind; but. where tboro was nothing to show that their loss of sight was tho ro sult of wounds or injuries rocoived in servico, they woro not placed in Class A. It seems that under this law tho unfor tunate Confederate soldior who is totally paralyzed is favored above another un fortunate soldier who is totally disabled and yet unablo to show that his disability arises from injuries received in tho sor vico of tho Stato. Whatever was tho individual opinion of tho members composing tho Stato Pousion Boan!, they endeavored in every instance to bo governed by tho law and evidence boforo them. lu this connection 1 desi roto call atten tion to thc condition liablo to exist in this Stato at an early dato. Tho establish ment of a soldier's homo by tho Stato may require for each inmate of this home an annual expenditure of $200. Tho in muto may bo a worthy decrepit soldier who did not receive bodily injuries iu the servico of his Stato. On tho othor hand, tho Stato will oxpond $1U.<>0 for tho sol dier who- lost bis leg and lins boon for thirty-six or moro years a cripple and to day is practically bcd-liddon, who ro mains at homo to bo cared for by an aged and devoted wife or friends. I believe that the soldier in bis home county, with equal disabilities, is entitled to tho same consideration as thc soldier who in au oc cupant of tho home at tho Capital of tho Stato. I have no objection to mako to tho sol diers' homo. I merely call attention to these facts, with tho hopo that whon an Act is passed creating a soldiers' homo it will bo so safe-guarded that the small sum that tho Stato of South Carolina is able to spend for her war-scarred vete rans will not bo taken froth tho needy pensioners and spent whore at best only few Omi enjoy it. At this time some very old and decrepit soldiers in this Stato, who received no in juries in the army, got only $11.70, and from tho standpoint of oquity and justice to take one of these men, place him in a soldiers' homo and spend $200 annually on bim, and leave another at his homo md give him only $11.70, savors of ine quality to say thc least of it. A l'l'UOI'IJI AXIONS V'OH I'KNSIONS. There was doubt as to wbetbor $100, OOO or $150,000 was appropriated at tho last session of the General Assembly for pensions. After consultation with tho other members of thc State pension board lad dressed a letter to tho Attorney General, setting forth tho facts and asking that bo give an opinion as to tho amount of tho appropriation. Before ho answered this communication the Stale Treasurer expressed himself as unwilling to honor my warrants for tho $150,000 on account of pensions, even if the Attorney General was of opinion that I should draw war rants for that amount. Tho Attorney Gonoral under these circumstances de clined to give tho opinion, and suggested mandamus proceedings so settle tho question. It was argued before Ibo Su premo (Join t, which doeidod that $100. 000 was tho amount appropriated for 1001. 1 proceeded to disburse tho pension fund in accordance with that decision and is sued warrants on the basis of $100,000.

When you consider thal every name in Ibis rc pi , t, is tho name of a pensioner whose application was examined and ap proved by the Pousion Hoard of his county, it is not surprising that a mistake Ol' error that may escape them should hot be dotootod by tho State board.
