An Interesting Letter From Dr. J. |, W. Wolling Telling Something j, of His Stay in Washington. ;i i 11 Washington, i>. 0. t| AI all times of the year that I have ni been in Washington the city has al- ai wavs been full visitors. Ii is so now. | f, and the main object in view seems f, ti> be to s,.(> ||?, |?,|,ii(. buildings and j t, monuments. Last night 1 was in that j w wonder of art. the congressional f, library, and it was alive with sight- ?v seers. This morning T went to visit ? the lowering monument of white mar- u ble rising on the mall of the Potomac d and found nearly fifty people al- 1, ready there waiting to take their f. place in the elevator that takes you b to the top of the shaft. And about o this monument 1 would write. The monument is a very conspic- cl nous object because of its brightness u and great height, being seen from any a point ot the city and for many miles around. Like many government works it was for quite a while works it was for quiate a while "V stopped in its construction at the height of about 200 feet, for the want ol funds. Kit her because of that de- 1 lay or because material a little dif- S lercni was used the line is distinctly 1 marked and the lower is much dark- tl i'r than the upper part of the shaft. 1 The dimensions are easily rentem- f' bered as all 11n- measurements arc g in the ligurc five. The height from fl?"?r to the tip is feet, the o base measures 7yt feet square, and the ii apex, or pyramid-shaped section ar the top, rises also feet. So that Ii the main shall rises .">00 feet, and to mis platform I ascended this morn- ti ing by the elevator and viewed t! through the eight windows at this n high point I lie city spread out below h and the far away Uilis in Maryland and \ irginia. From thai point a starua\ oL ODD steps leads you to the cut i ance and down these 1 determined I h to walk. My visit was to see the tablets inscribed with the names of a States and cities and societies to be h put in the monument. The block sent L by South Carolina is a beautiful piece h of marble bearing the shield and es- h cutcheon of our State carved in re- t lief, and with the inscription: "From 1 the State of South Carolina. "T found '< that several churches had sent tablets ami even a Sunday school from e New Hampshire hmLsent a beautifully v engraved piece of red sandstone. In an authority before me 1 learn that DO stones were cont ributed from var-j ions sources to the memory of Wash-I ^ ington, and many of them arc notable for their beauty and elaborate carving. Soiitn ( arolina s offering is inserted in the interior western wall 70 'I feet above the floor. Ii The const ruction was begun in s 1812, hut ilie finished monument was ?' not dedicated until Feb. 23, 1885. ? And thus loan American general and I statesman, grown from a country boy, f now stands the tallest monument and u the "highest work of masonry in the 1 | world. Mm even so it does but < j''adequately bespeak the gratitude of I the American people to the illus- s Irious lather of his country. "So n | spoke Winlhrop at the laving of this s ; corner slone. To me this is all very interesting, 1 i and I offer these lines |o vour mahv ( readers of Newberry county and beI yond. "UNDER SOUTHERN SKIES" 'opular Southern Play to Be Present- C ed at Newberry Opera House On August 24. One of tlu1 most successful plays to 10 presented in Newberry fliis sea- | 1,11 is "I nder Southern Skies" ( 'hiclt will appear at the opera house > n Mom.lay, August 24. "Under t outhern Skies" is one of the lar- i est and most expensive dramatic i ompanics now traveling, as the com- i '"iny numbers twenty-three people, t nd every piece of scenery used in the ( roduetion is carried with the com- * any.

"I nder Southern Skies" is from lie pen of Lottie Blair Parker, who ( lso wrote "Way Down East," and i is as true and interesting: a pic- I ire of the South as that now fanrms lay is of New England. The story of the play is a very tronir and interesting one, and is one r at is peculiarly Southern. Tts char- t ( tors are distinct types of Southern eoplc, many of them being highly t iverting:. A Hallowe'en celebra- on and pumpkin dance are among: le most attractive features of the ei'formanee. Matinee. j On Monday afternoon at 3.30 a , latinee will bo given for the ladies nd children.
