’ Samael F. Mmmt. who, » short

Tho Buts referring to sa incident a
the Confederate Home in which he
stated that H. W. Richardson had
forbidden the nse of his name in
the columns of a newspaper, , has
been suspended for 30 days. The
charges preferred against Mr. Mas
sey are insurbordination, breach of
l*sles, drunkenness and insulting a
member of the board of commis
sioners. Mr. Massey says that he
yraa not cited to sppear before any
members of the board and that on
ly the jnembers of the boe-rd were
Riwsent, Mr. Richardson and Dr.
F. W. P. Butler. f
He received the following com
munication:
“Columbies 8. C„ Aug., 7. 1913.
"J, P. Caldwell, Superintendent Con
federate Infirmary.
•>8ir: You ara hereby ordered to
suspend Samuel F. Masses an ln-
mate of the Confederate Icdirmary

and insulting a member of the boar

“To Samuel F. Massey. Ip obe
dience to the above order you are
hereby suspended from the Confed
erate Infirmary for the space of

“Signed J. P. Caldwell.
“Commandant.”
When the VrrwMe Hejsu.
The trouble ending in the sus
pension of Massey had its begin
ning when Major Richardson, chair
man of the board of commissioners
and a salaried officer, appointee of
Gov. Blease. told Edward J. Jones,
a Confederate vetefen, but not an
inmate of the Soldiers’ Home, that
he could rot hold his Job as hospit.-l
steward at the home if he did not
bestir himself in behalf of 'Blease.
Massey heard of the threat, and
understood that It applied to all
employees whether .inmates of the
home or not and so reported it.
Lat'f, Maj. Richardson, in a talk
at the home, denied that he referred
to all employees.
Mr. Massey was not then allow
ed a hearing rod made a statement
In the newspapers. He did not re
gard MaJ."Rlchardson*i admonition
not to use his name, and his sus
pension is the final result.

tag thence out to Solders, some
fifteen gstiM Tit to attend sa an
nual farmers* plcaie. This was
our first visit to this section. Col
leton county is down cTnse to the
Atlantic coast and d level, sandy sec
tion. / Though an old county, they
are Just now getting through with
turpentining ard saw milling and
commencing to farm right. The
county Is largely settled with white
farmers who own their own homes.
They have the best crops in this
county that we have seen this p?ar
We didn’t see a grassy crop or a
poor one in the county. It was
like comir-z upon an oasis in the
desert, to Me their fine,corn and
cotton after seeing so many poor
crops In other aectloce. Still these
f;.-mers have their troubles. They
have the wire worms in Colleton
and they are doing a great deal
of damage in certain fields. This
wire-worm is r. small white worm
that ftever gets larger than a knit
ting needle. They multiply by the
thousands, and getting or* the roots
cf the corn nr cotton suck them to
death.’ In June they develop into
a small grub or Jr-rva and thence
into a brownish beetle. They do
not do anp damage much after June
so the farmers can grow a lets crop
of corn or cotton or they can grow
a fair crop of oats on the land.
Wire-worms are a serious pest
for the sandy sections where they
begin to propagate.
There were over a thousand peo
ple out to the picnic and we certain
ly er*’oyed meeting with these peQr
pie. They hc-ve a good county down
in Colleton, and Walterboro, the
county site. Is a beautiful old town,
with large lots and fine trees. In
fact, we hr.ve n?ver seen finer trees
than we saw in Colleton county,
which shows that their sandy soil
has the strength In it.—The South
