men of the lullitl./.of four States ut
Home point in this'State during the
summer. In view of the fuet that the

much disorganized, this Is uu inter
esting announcement. Tin- uuploss

milltiu can not be blamed entirely
upou the udjutant gpneral of this
State, ulthougli had. ho shown more
diplomat >. or politics, , or j whatever
the word tuny li<\ some of the trouble
might have been avoided. That he is
held lu high esteem by the-1 national
government is shown by Lhe coniplb
munt to this Stale. (\
The wur department at Washington,
which put up u large sum of money
for the maintenance of the militia of
this Slate, last yeur^informed the ad
jutant genera) that numerous militia
companies of the State were not up
to the standard und could not share
lu tho distribution of the fund. Tho
adjutant generul u)j?{aingly recom
mended that such companies be mus
tered out by tile Kovejflnr. This was
impolitic, to say thclfcttat. Hut Gen.
Moore was. merely performing un un
pleasant duty. A large controversy|
ensued. The service was hurt. Some
txeellunt officers in?VI ltlt the service,|
'more or'less in disgust.
At tho national guurd meeting In
Columbia last week it Is,said that Gen.
Wv. W. Moore, the1 adjutant general,
was assailed by numerous candidates
for his place and also by the governor
of1 the State, mid that tf?n. Moore
tgood bis^urouaA'K\/'ll. li? is no
showy, flashy, boldtur.,lxut he is a care
ful, painstaking anir'conscientious of
ficer, who has the handling of a lot of |
money, supplies an^f other business.
In view of tho-fa** that It would
mean a great deal to the State to have
this great encampment here, we trust
thut the militia ottlcera of the State
will become reconciled and that ull
will pull togotbes-Vor' the good of the
State.
If the nationaf guurd of this State]
will pull together, this big encamp
ment might bo secured. Otherwise wel
fear It might be taken to some other |

W. IL Ldwurds in The State.
While in Columbia a few days agu
i heard some talk of the proposition
te abolish the Confederat?- infirmary
and give to the old soldiers who are
Inmates of the institution an annual
pension of $100 each. Quite a number
of these o'd men have do place In tbl?

homeless old men out of the county
poor home* nil over South Carolina, J
If there are graft and mismanagement
of the affairs of the institution the
blame lies at the door of the general
assembly. The mistake the legisla
ture made was in giving the governor
oi the state control of of the instl
tulion. The gencrul assembly should*
have assumed the authority and the
responsibility of electing the dlrec*
tors or the institution and held those,
directors responsible for its conduct.
If this had been done the institution
would have been contacted decently
and economically and all the cry of
graft and scandal would have never
been heard. It would be sad and pa
thetic to punish these homeless old
men because the general assembly
made this mistake and send them bock
to the county poorhouscs. for there
is where many of them will end. Giv
ing the governor the appointing powe
to turn out "my enemies." and reward
"my friends" is what caused all the
trouble in the soldiers' , home and
brought it into bad odor with the
(copie. Given the same character of
government mid every state institu
tion in South Carolina, well God only
knows -what there condition would
be. A one-man power is a dangerous
power. Especially is this true when
it is the publicly declared policy of
the man to "reward my friends". In
stead of ubollshinrw/the soldiers' home,
the general assembly ought to reor
ganize and control it. Suppose each
one of these old men were given $100
a year. Could he live on It? If so,
how? Give an old mun 75 or SO yearH
old $200 with no home aud he could
not live on it. Private families do
not want them and public boarding
houses would demand extravagant
prices to take care of them. An old
man with no wife, no home, no enti
re n to care for him, thre is no place
except the county poor house for him,
if the soldiers' home is abolished. The
general asppmhig cars, if they v/il!,
reorganize the institution and control
It. and they owe it to the people of
South Carolina to do it aud do without
further, delay.
