Mr. Stewart was here to soo that everything was all right. The tree reached here only Monday. It was made by the Amen foundry of Chioopco, Mass., and Mr. Stewart is jua?,y proud of the fine pteoo of wor1-. iNone havo found fault. It was nearly 4 o'clock Monday evening when tho South Carolina Provisional regiment marohing in fino style, making a most oroditablo appearance, headed by Col. Wilio Jones on a handsome black horse, made tho ascent to Snodgrass Hill and thero stood at proBcnt arms as tho contingent of veterans passod followed by ie members of the commission, tho governor and staff and distinguished guests, the sponsors aod tho young ladies who were to do tho unveiling. Thero was quite a gathering wailing near tho stand. The monument itself was veiled with the Confederate colors, rod and white, and between the folds peered the bronze faeo of the statue of tho Confcdcrato soldiers on the sides as if soouting. On tho extreme rear of tho stand was draped a very largo United States flag. On the stand, to bo borne by men who had fought under them, were the tattored and torn flags of tho Tenth, Twenty fourth and Seventh South Carolina regiments As the party wont upon tho stand, tt o regiment was dismissed and tho mon listenod to tho spoeohes. Gov. >lo Sweoney presided as chairman of the oommissisn. Near him upon tho stand sat Gen Walker, Gon. Capers, Gen. Boynton, Jol. J. D. B.anding, of Mcxioan war fame, Gen. Carwilo, Gen. Floyd, tho llev. J no. Kershaw, voter ans from many poitions of South Carolina, tho adjutant general of Goorgia, members of the staff of ths governors nf S til t h ('ir.tlinfl and ( lr.nn.in (Ka ?tn vcilcrs, the sponsors, and others. The banner of Cauip Hampton of Columbia, borne by Mr. L. C. Levin, was decorated with a magnificent wreath of palmetto which was afterwards p.aced on iho monument. At 4.1T> (iov. McSwecncy opened the proceedings by introducing as the sou of ibat distinguished South Carolina soldier, Gen Kershaw, the Kcv. John Kershaw of Cnarleston, who made the opening prayer. TilK GOVERNOR, ti iv McSwceney then spoke aa follows, being cheered to the coh j when the names of various heroes were mentioned: Fellow Countrymeir More than a generation has passed since the day of carnage which made this spot historic, when feeinaij 1 met foreman worthy of his steel in this bloody contest It was not a contliet between hired soldiers but of men equal in I courage and of the same great race who were oouteudiiig for principles they believed to be right. The heroism and the fortitude dis played by ihe southern soldier in this con ilict has never been surpass* d in Ihe history of the world. He considered that he was contending for the principle upon which our , government was founded and no Went into the conflict as a patriotic duty, and duly was his watchword front Manassas to Appamutton. On no other hypothesis can you explain the privation aud the still'ering which he ho cheerfully ami readily endured. This epirit of patriotism prevailed not only * among the men of the south, hut the woman, like the Spartan mothers of old, sent their sons an^l ioved ones to the front with a oheert fulness horn of a patriotism that will make any people great. From the find gun at Fort j Sumter until arms were stacked at Appomattox they endured hardships And privations with a fortitude rarely equalled and never 1 excelled. And when the Confederate soldier stacked his arms and furled forever the (lag which he had followed through viototy and defeat and turned bis faco homeward, shattered and worn, then' were no vain regrets for the . part he had played in the great drama of war, hut with a cheerfulness unpsrrelled and a spirt undaunted ho began anew the battle of life and the work of rebuilding his lost fortunes and today there is no one more ready or more willing to respond to the defense of our common country than the Con federate soldier. This was demonstrated in our last war with Hpain when Joe Wheeler saved the day at tiantiago and young Dagley ^ W" i After the unveiling the govornor roc and adresssing God.

Bill Arp Writes of Andersonvllle an Iffl ?I llll laid his life upon the altar of his country. It is moot and right that we should perpetuate his memory in bronto inJ stone, but bettor still that it should be ombalmed in th* hearts and lives cf those who are to oorne after us. This we can do and at the h une time acoopt the result of the oombat and still be true to the flag. This is a proud day for South Carolina. This beautiful park has been purchased by the gvreral government, and each Stato having troops engaged in this great battle has been asked to mark the position of its troops. Many of tho States have already acted, and nearly a half million dollars h?ve been expended by sixteen State* for this purpose. Though tardy we have at last done our duty and todav we come to dedicate this monument to the memory of the brave South Carolinians who fought and fell on this historic spot. lu 1893 the general assembly of 8outh Carolina appointed a oommitslon to looato the position of her troops and in 18Jia oom mission to select suitable monuments, but it was not until 1900 that tho means wore provided to complete the work At that session of tho legi"laturo an appropriation of $10,000 was made to ereot suitable monuments, and tho govornor was authorized to appoint a commission of three members, and they, with the govornoi and the adjutant general, were to have charge of the ereotion of the markers and tho monument. By ^Ihoritv of that act I appointed as the other m7Zhiira t^us oommission Ueu. C. 1. VValker, ofcbk!?^?> . Bragg was concerned, for the Uui 11. Thomas, and todislarge that force Gen. Bragg ordered every elfort to be made, but ihouuas held his ground too firmly to ) ield the field there. The old war horse Lougstreet pressed the Yankee right and centre with bis troops and somo of tho Yankees under Gordon Granger and Wood, uad by the use of twclvo or twenty pieces of artillery at an angle the left wing of the Vaukee army under Thomas gars way. l'hia left the entire held in the posseisiou of the Confederates. It is a glorious reflection that the valor of South Carolina troops under Kerahaw on the left and Mauigault on the right contributed ac largely to this magnificent victory, and it is a matter of history that the South Carolina troops through Iverenaw'a brigade, mide the farthest advance on SnougrasB Hill. There was not a bloodier fight in the whole war, when you take into consideration the number of troops engaged and the time of actuat combat. Otticial reports show that killed, wounded and missing were over thirty-three per cent of all the troops actually eugaged. On toe union side the loss in this battle of a number of regiments wai fifty per ceut. of the men engaged aud the same loss was sustained by lac troops ou the other sido and Uen. Longstreet in his history says that his command lost in two hours uearly forty-four per cent, of iid sireugth. "The charge of tne light brigade at Uaiak'ava has beeu made famous in soug aud history, yet there were thirty union regi nieinia'thai eaoh lost It) per cent, more men at Uhickamauga aud uiauy Confederate regi' nieu. d. Ileadursou, Col. jd Capers then ordered tho young ladies t< unveil, in tho naino of thoir fathers an< mothers, this monument that Houil Carolina had crcotod to tho honor an< glory of tho Confodorato soldiers. 1 was exactly 5.26 o'olook as tho veils fol from tho monumout and tho bant struck up "Amcrioa" as tho pooph ohecred. the Liea Now Repeated. * As the poet Browning said: " thought tbo lio was dead and damned, b*:t it sceme not.

It is ewy to understand _ why McLaurin may desire to hear front the *"r people, lie has undertaken to reorganize lite Democracy of He nth Carolina on iineral lines and Tillman plaints with some show of reason that Mol.aurin is simply a Kepublican wolf in the sheep's clot hint; of Democracy. Senator McLaurin may be pardoned for hav ing curiosity to know how the people regard his revolutionary ideas, but why sbottldn I Tillman Htand pal? L"1 The Hslumoro Ilorald, Republic in, fays: McLaurin ia comparatively a new figure in politics. Indeed, he is entire y uew in the held which he occupies', in thai he it blazing the w y through the forest of prejudice a'id tradition to I e open ground of commercial expansion for the south. The contest in South Carolina is not between Tillman and &f McLaurin personally, but beweeu them a* representatives of the prejudices of the past 1,8 and the possibilities of the present. Mc R< l.aurin may not win?not in South Caroltna?but the progressive ideas for which he 4 is fighting will, in a few years control the w< situation in the south, as certainly as that uc section's development will continue. ^ The Birmingham Njwb, whioh has ^ twioo bo.ted tho national Democratic m ticket, observes: 0( Senator Tillman is a bitter partisan and a tyranical political boss. lint the fact can- . uot be denied that he is a stronger leader among tho rural masses. McLaurin is a prog essive man and in his views no doubt O < repiesents the mauufiictiiriiig, couimercial ga and progrcaiive elements of his tftate. It pi would be decidedly best for South Carolina ftC for him to wit his tight, but it is to he feared a that he is ahead of the times and that the Qj crack of the party lasn in Tillman s hands and the cry of treachery will prove strouger than tho Nnnnii roosani Kn?h vlnl ounn ^ gives for hia course. K1 Tnc Mobile Kegistor, which bolted ,4< the national Democratic ticket in lbl)6, ! a says: The chances seem to be in Tillmtn's favor. 8t Not only is .Mcbaurin "forcing the season," a for his cause it not yet fully ripe in South o] Carolina, but he is ia poor hvalta and may w givo way under the (train of a_violcntj^tu m paign suoh at the one rropo?^fTTT^fJ^!y^Bp t>e We admire his ournjL.r. than we lr do his wisdom.
