r ? * College of Charleston vs. >~ewberry. The College of Charleston again "went down in defeat before the strong Newberry aggregation in a well played game of ball last Thursday afternoon by the score of 7 to 3. The weather was anything but good for baseball, the- ground being wet, ^ which readily accounts for the occasional wildness of the pitchers, 12 men in all being given free tickets to first. Taking the weather into con * Bideration the game was well played, and several sensational plays were pulled off. "Nig" Epting had everything with him, and pitched a pretty game throughout, holding the heavy kitting Charlestonians at his mercy at all stages of the game. Mayes * "caught a steady game behind the bat, besides being the star of the afterw\ I noon, rapping out a double and two singles out of four trips to the pan, while four of Newberry's seven runs ?- J - v?

For the visitors ?a pretty catch by Lebby in right, and Pott's triple in the ninth were features.

DICKERT REVIEWS AFFAIRS OF THE HOME Member of the Board of Control of the Confederate Home Discusses Conditions There. To the Editor of The State: As was to be expected the new board of the old soldier's home found the books all 0. K., and the old management is kept in the service. If after all that has been done and said, the taxpayers and old soldiers are satisfied, no one else has a right to complain. However, it is a known fact that men have been known to be stealing and grafting for a life time, yet their books showed up all j right. Not meaning that such was the case with the books at the home, but mere!v as a possibility. We will appeal from one of the board "drunk" as the majority claim to that same | member "sober" and let the public judge. I always contended that the books if any were kept, would be found straight Nothing was ever thought or said about the system of bookkeeping; it is a solid, -.incontroverted fact.! The people want an itemized accounting of the disbursement of that $25,000 appropriation. They would like to know, too, why the vast differences ! nnr/wn taoHmnnv nf thnSfi in! | ill WK s n ui u wj. ( I charge. It would be rather far fetched to contend that because an old soldier is an inmate of the home he would not tell the truth. Neither! would it be just to say because Maj.,! Richardson was an officer in the army: all his assertions should go unchal-j iCi-wrv>? rif liic otatAmpnts ha.ve ! ICUgCU. UUlUt U1 U1U been very careless, t6 say the least. The tax payers are entitled to the whole truth and let the blame fall where it may. Let us look at some! of the discrepancy in the statement made by the two men in control. You will find them in a pamphlet in which the legislative - investigating committee published their proceedings. On page 31 Maj. Richardson stated that the home had 30 hogs and they killed half. Capt Caldwell cays three. Maj. j Richardson said before he took charge j there were complaints as to fefeding. Now, the old soldiers get three substantial meals and a lunch every day. Capt Caldwell and the inmates deny this. On page 55 Maj. Richardson says: "I went before the board of regents of the asyhrnfand got 12 more acres (the home is on the asylum land) making 17 acres in all. I fenced that with new cedar post, etc., etc. Capt. Caldwell, who superintended all work on the place says "no such a fence was ever built." If Maj. Richardson included that fence in his contract, and paid for it out of the appropriation, the State simply didn't get it, for it is not there. He claims to have done many other things, such as "re niiT-ino +Vi.o. whnU rnof" flant Cald pan u-15 iuv ??- ? ^?x? . well says it was only patched is a few places. Many other of Maj. Richardson's enumerations Capt. Caldwell seems to know nothing of Maj. Richardson claims to have fed 70 inmates daily and sometimes 80 or 90. Capt. Caldwell, who kiept an account, says there were only 59 as an average. If provisions were bought for 70 and 80, when only 59 ate, why was there a complaint of not enough to eat or "plates for eight, [with food for four." On oath Maj. Richardson told the investigating committee that since March, 1912, h-e had not been absent from the home for 24 hours. Capt. Caldwell and the inmates, on the other hand, stated that he was absent two-thirds of the time, and when he did come to the home it was only for a few hours. Upon that hypothesis can these discrepancies in the testimony he accounted for, allowing, of course, it is possible for the commandant and the inmates to tell the truth occasionally. nrvv eVi/vnr that \Tai "Richardson's statement should not tie taken too seriously, I refer the curious to page 27 of the testimony. Now listen to the major: "I worked there (in the hoi" O four years, without any comI pensation at all." As a matter of fact | Maj. Richardson has not been con| nected with the board or home only for a little more than two years. During those two years he had resigned and gone to Barnwell for several months. With the exception of Maj. Mixon's encumbency (six or seven months) there never was a time that he was not issuing to himself payrolls for $100 per month. The record will show it. Now was this one of those simple things that George Washington never told, a 6llp up, or a typographical error? If the latter, he has had ample time to corrct it, but so far as I know he has failed to do so. "I worked there four years for nothing at all." This is perhaps what the court had in view, when it said in effect: "Boys you played against the old soldiers, with the cards stacked: you held a loo loo hand and won, ^fcut remember, a loo loo hand Is not ! good twice in the same sitting." As to the $3,000 appropriated for repairs, has there ever been an itemized account rendered? That would | be interesting reading. The only items of any consequence are four rooms aDd a stable. Any carpenter would l>e 'glad' to build such size rooms for $250 apiece and *he stable should not i I have exceeded $400 or $500. This j | would only be $1,500. How is the: other $1,500 accounted for? I - . If any concractor got more maui $2,000 or $2,f,00 for the work in sight I can only say: he got the better of the major in a trade or he had not studied his figures, or his calculations were at fault when the major stated he fed the old soldiers for 25 cents per day. Well, perhaps that is so, but it leaYes too big a balance to be accounted for in the way of clothes: and help hired. Allowing the 70 inmates, as he claims he fed daily, there . i would yet be between ?n,uuu ana | $12,000 to be accounted for. Give us an itemized statement, please. Tell us, too, about how the appropriation is managed. Twenty thousand deposited in a bank, should draw 4 or 5 per cent. There would be at least $8,500 lying idle for six months and more; does the bank allow no rake-off? if not, why not? One-half of the $17,000 allowed last year was not all used till the end of the year. One-half remains untouched for six months; then who gets the rake-off, if there is any? When all these matters are explain- j ed. let ue hope the old home will run smoothly. With Todd ruling the board, j Richardson ruling Todd, all will be lovely and the goose hangs high. D. A. Dickert.
