Colombia, December 12.-Almost within a stone's throw of the place where he fell mortally wounded on January 15, 1003, within the shadow of South Carolina's capitol, and on the widest thoroughfare of the oity he loved so well, a beautiful monu ment was to-day unveiled to the memory of the late N. G. Gonzales, the late editor of The State, who, nearly three years ago, fell a martyr to free speech and the liberty of the press. There had been ereoted a tempo rary stand around the monument for the accommodation of specially in vited guests. About this stood a large crowd of citizens, who had gathered to pay tribute to tho de ceased journalist, soldier and citizen. Seated upon the stand were mem bers of tho Gonzales Monument As sociation, members of the Ladies1 Auxiliary Association, members o? the family of the deceased, local and visiting editors and the clergy of the city. Members of tho Columbia Cham ber of Commerce, Knights of Pyth ias, organizations of which he was n member, the Typographical Union employees of the newspapers of thc city attended in a body. Tho exercises were opened wit!; prayer by Bishop Ellison Capers, Episcopal Bishop of the diocese ol South Carolina, followed by thc hymn, "My Country, 'Tis of Theo,' rendered by a selected choir. Aftei an address by VV. A.Clark, president of thc Gonzales Monument Associa tion, the monument was formally unveiled. Rev. Samuel M. Smith, pastor ol the First Presbyterian church of thii city, delivered an oration appropri?t? to tho occasion. Then came tho formal delivery o tho monument by Mr. Clark to Mayoi T. II. Gibbes, who received it in be half of the city with a speech of ac ceptanco. The ceremonies were closed with J benediction by Kev. W. C. Lindsay pastor of the First Baptist church ol Columbia.

I see in the Charleston News and Courier that somebody says that be f cause Billy Powers was an old sol r tiier and because of his good behav . ior, he ought to have a pardon. Billy Powers about five years ago killed John Richey near Fair Play, i in Oconee county. I was on the , jury that convicted him and heard f all the testimony against him. It was as cold-blooded a murder as has ever I been committed in Oconee county. ) I Io killed Richey because Richey had whipped him two years before on ac count of one of Billy's tricks. They (Powers and Richey) had bought I some whiskey and came through Fair Play. Powers left Richey and took the whiskey. Richey followed him and found that the whiskey had all 1 been poured ont but a little, so Richey fell in on him. Two years afterwards Powers went to Richey's I house, called him out and shot him down. Before this they had made friends. Richey asked him to come in and take supper with him, but he turned and killed Richey. It is now claimed that Powers killed him on account of his wife. This was not thought of in the trial. The Supreme Court sustained the decision of the lower court. Now, I, as one of the jurors, will never sign a petition to liberate him. If we, as citizens, must try our fel low man and he is pardoned after being convicted, why shall wc try for murder at all? I think it is high time that the people of our good old South Carolina be fair in their trials and then let them stand.-B. F. Moore, in Anderson Mail. Elegantly Entertained by Gen. John S. Verncr.1 Pickcns, 3. C.| December 8, 1005.-Dear Courier: lt was my good fortuno to bo ente; taint d at the elegant and hospitable home Of a foi mer OconeoitO dining tho meeting of the Baptist State Convention in Columbia last week. Gen. .lohn S. Veiner and his family did everything that heart could desire to make my stay with them pleasant, and they certainly succeeded. N'o wolds of minc can ever thank them enough for their kindness. It was a genuino treat to boar the General talk of tho up-country people and ot the politics of tho past. Ho is ono of the best informed men with whom I havo ever talked. Ho certainly under stands tho ins and outs of politics and politicians in the State. South Carolina would do horself credit to call on Gou. Vei ner to servo her again in some official capacity. It is perhaps known by most of our people that he has served tho State as Comptroller General with dis tinguished ability, (ion. Vernor is now Master of Richland county and has been for twolvo years.

Another chapter in the Duncan textile taugle history was revealed h? re yesterday morning, when it be ?'.n?! known that at a meeting of the directors of the Seneca Colton Mills, Col. Thou. C. Duncan, of tho Uuiou and Buffalo mills, had resigued the presidency tn favor of Malcolm Campbell, of Woonsocket, lthods Island. Mr. Campbell is one of the leading Eastern manufacturers of cotton mill machinery and a very wealthy mau. Frank Hammond, president of the People's Bank of this city, who was madu treasurer with entire control of the tiunnces some time ago, was also elected general manager. Frank M. Jordan remains secretary. G. II. Bayne, of New York, one of tho directors, died about two weeks ago. Mayor Frank M. Cary, of Seneca, was elected a member of the board in bis place. The latest resignation leaves Col. Duncan only one mill, the Pine Creek Mills of Camden. Mr. Ham mond, who is treasurer of this prop erty also, said yesterday that the Pine Creek Mills were unaffected by the troubles involving the other Dun can mills, and that, so far as he knew, Col. Duncan would remain at their head. While Mr. Hammond manages the financial end, the actual operation is in Col. Duncan's hands. -Greenville News, December 10. Failed.

There are twouty eight appointments and tlreroforo that many pastors; seventy li ve churches with a membership of 10,000 souls. Many re vivals have blessed the dist riet and one thousand accessions havo resulted. "The congregations havo raised some $.1,300 for missions and $2,000 for other claims assessed by tho geueral boards, and over $18,000 for pastoral support. Sixty-four young mon and young women attend the Methodist schools and col legos. The money raised for Suuday schools, building and repairing and fur nishing churches and parsonages counts thousands of dollars more. Tho number of conversions tho Lord only knows. When wo think of a largo part of this district being yet missionary ground, with forty-eight mill communities to bo served, this is a great showing and a good year's work.

Mabel Rogers was banged at the Ver mont State prison at Wiudsor at 1.18 o'clock tbis afternoon for the murder of her husband, Marcus Rogers. M ra. Rogers was prououueed dead by the prison officials at 1 27 p. m.

She killed ber young husband while kissing and caressing bim, after having secured his consent for her to tie his hands "just in fun." lier case has beeu in court three years, during which time she bad twi- been face to face with the gallows, each time beiug reprieved. It is estimated that iu all her p ititious moro than a half million women of t.bn United States have attached their signa tures. A now petition containing 43,000 uauios was presented just beforo her exe cution. Io declining to stop tho execution Fri day, Gov. Roll said: "I know of no law that is not as much for a woman as it is for a mau. For me to meddle in this case would placo mo as oxecutivo and the Stato of Vermont in a ridiculous position." Mrs. Rogers cunningly planned tho death of her husband and fiendishly nud treacherously executed it. Sho sent for him to come to see her. They bad been separated. She promised to romain with him, and while she kissed him, she tied his hands, chloroformed him and rolled his body into tho river, forging his namo to a noto in which it was stated that ho had killed himself. It was the handwriting that led to tho wife's arrest and conviction. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children.
