_6 TWO MISTAKES. + By Savoyard. Published by Kequest. In some remarks of mine upon the recent adjudication of the supreme court touching the 15th amendment, I expressed chagrin because of the fact that th Southern people had reared no shaft to commemorate the noble loyalty to master and mistress displayed i>y tne old black mummy and uncle (luring the war ot* 1801G5 that culminated in the emancipatino of the bondsman and tlie abolition of African slavery. It appears that I was wrong in my statement. A gentleman from South Carolina, a Mr. inches, reminds the readers of The Columbia State that at Fort Mill. S. C.. there is a monument erected in Confederate park to the former negro slaves of the South, and on one of its sides is the follow ing inscription: "1800-1865. "The faithful slaves who. loyal to a sacred trust, toiled for the s tpport of the armj with matchless devotion and with sterling fidelity guarded our defenseless homes, wotucti and children during the struggle for the principles of our Confederate States ol America." ? Capt. S. E. White reared this shaft to the honor of the negro slaves who were so devoted to the whites of the South in the terrible conflict of 1861-65. Captain White does himself as much honor as his tribute pays to the slave. Such a man must nave a noble heart and a lofty mind ?all honor to him. 1 thank Mr. Dyches for calling my attention to this patriotic deed of a son of South Carolina. But 1 want something more than that. 1 want a monument reared to the loyal old slave by the entire Southern people. 1 want to have the pleasure of contributing my little mite to the shaft. 1 want money enough collected to enlist the greatest living artist and challenge him to make of it a masterpiece. I want it to be a grand affair to express the love and the gratitude of as noble a people, as proud a race, as the wor'd ever saw to their old servitors. It can be done and our people will never miss the money. All thai is required is for some capable, energetic women to take it in hand #n<t push it to success. * It seems that recently I fell int.* another error, as the following leter indicates: "Dear Savoyard: You do North Carolina an irreparable injustice to claim Ty Cobb as the son of Georgia. As you are a Southern man yourself, you ought to knowbetter. Those of us who read your rilliant editorials?and have read them so long as to hesitate to recall the first ones ?are disappointed to see a man who has been correct for half a century erring In the vital statistics affecting the reputation and civic crown of a whole commonwealth like North Carolina.

Farm horses were also four shillings a nead, pigs were a shilling, and aheep " stood at sixpence.
