Explanation of Inscriptions. Following Ia the formal inscriptio: prepared by the commission: To The South Carolina Women of the Confederacy. 1861-65. Reared By the Men of Their State. Tha legislature's part will be con -veyed in a line, "Enacted by thc Gen eral Assembly of the State of -Sout] Oarolina," legible on a scroll bein, held up to the woman by a bronz Cunid. Capt. Gonzales was asked for an in terpretation of the inscriptions from i the viewpoint of their author. "In the first sentence of the inscription from the south side," he replied, "the monu ment is conceived as a living thing, 3 the spokesman for all time for those I who were the witnesses of the deeds, i trials and sufferings of the women of - the Confederacy. "That their heroism and courage f had -high, pure source, differing wide - ly from the bravery of Amazons and - the sacrifices of fanatics or heathen, - the sentence beginning 'Reverence for -'God' is intended to imply. , "The final sentence of that inscrip - tion is a claim that the fruits of the - 'noble service' will, through the im press upon character of uplifting sen - timent, enrich the South even after a the tragedy of the 'Lost Cause' is to - the South, no longer a tragedy. - "The soul of the second inscription is in the lines: "'Splendid in Fortitude, They strove while they wept.' "In defeat and amid want, mourning and with threatened chaos, they were steadfast and unafraid. "The concluding sentence of the in scription pays tribute to the services of the women of the Confederacy af ter the war. "'In the Building after the Desola tion' It was around the women that the forces of civilization developed strength and won the victory of the South today." Honorable Mention. The four inscriptions given below were submitted in the order named by Dr. George A. Wauchope, Dr. E. S. fJoynes, the Rev. A. M. Fraser, of I Staunton, Va., and W. Banks Dove: Exhibit A.

Exhibit B. To The Women of the Confederate South I Whose Constancy Sustained the Courage of the Confederate Soldier in Camp and Field, Whose virtue protected his Home, Whose service ministered to his needs Whose tender care nursed his suffer ings Whose affection cheered his dying I hour . And brightened the Poverty of his Desolate Home. Exhibit C. They knew their cause was just. They put their trust in God. They~ gave their men to the war, and cheer ed t3hem on to immortal deeds and en durance and to death. They minis tered- to the sick, the wounded and the dying.

They have adorned the whole Iland with monuments to their fallen heroes. Exhibit D. Erected in memory of those who in tthe sorrow of their silence and separa tion endured the agony of a conflict they might not share, whose courage ssustained the Southern Soldier amid' the carnage of the battlefield, whose . love and fidelity soothed the suffering of his sickness, whose gentle hand Ibrushed from 'his pale face the gath ering dews of death, whose faith and fortitude faltered not in the darkest hour, whose inspiration transformed the gloom of defeat into the hope of the future, and whose memory shall Inot be forgotten even in the hour of peace.
