JAMES CHESNUT," Chairman Executive Committee. Camden, S. 0., Angnat 24, 1874. An Appeal is behalf of the destitute orphans of south carolina. Notwithstanding the applaoBe of the many and seaming appreciation of thut noble charity, the Palmetto Ophans' Home, so much needed and so well conducted, located in Columbia?with the good it has already accomplished in rescuing from want, ignorance and, in many cases, from haunts of vice, destitute orphans?we are sorry to ad? mit that each an institution has been crippled in its sphere of usefulness and allowed to languish for want of aid ne? cessary to its successful career; and that the snpportand instruction of the present happy family of orphans shel? tered within its walls should be allowed to depend on but few contributions. However willing those few may be to devote their energy and means in aid of the enterprise, they nre, unable themselves to carry tho entire burden, consequently forced to appeal to the people at large to assist in the good work of establishing the Palmetto Or? phans' Homo on a permunent basis. The Home is not sectarian or deno? minational. Tho Trustees consist of members from the different branches of the chureb. The children aro reli? giously trained at home and in tho several Sunday schools; during tho week they aro instructed by a compe? tent teacher, with special reference to future usefulness. It is now a ques? tion whether or not such an institution in our midst, based entirely upon cha? rity and love, with do paid oiliciul, be supported, or shall it, for want of means, be abandoned? uud the or? phans now supported uud educated therein ho thrown npou the world destitute and Irieudlcs. Reader, if you fuvor the former pro? position, come nt once to the rescue. Donations of money, provisions uud clothing will ho acknowledged iu the "Orphans' Appeal," n neut family paper, published in the interest of the Home, at 81 per annum.
