The Monument's Inscriptions.
'The following are the inscription:
to be placed on the monument:
(South Side.)
In this Monument
generations unborn shall heart th:
Voice of a grateful People
testifying to the sublime Devotion
of the Women of South Carolina
in their Country's need.
Their unconquerable spirit
strengthened the thin lines of grey
Their tender care was solice to th<
stricken.
Reverence for God
and unfaltering Faith in a righteou:
Cause
inspired Heroism that withstood
the immolat.ion of sons.
A.nd Courage that bore the agony o
suspense
and the shock of disaster.
The tragedy of the Confederacy ma:
be forgotten,
but the fruits of the noble Service
of the Daughters of the South
are our perpetual heritage.
(North Side.)
When reverses followed victories
when want displa.ced plenty'
~when mourning for the flower c
Southern Manhood
darkened countless homes
when Government tottered and Chao
threatened
the Women were steadfast and un
afraid.
They were
unchanged in their Devotion
unshaken in their Patriotism
unwearied in Ministrations
'ncomplaining in Sacrifices
Splendid in Fortitude
they strove while they wept
Etn the Rebuilding after the Desolatio:
thir Virtues stood
the supreme Citadel
'with strong towers of Faith and Hop
around which Civilization rallied.
and triumphed.
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."

Sacrifices of the Women of the
Confederacy

spiring sympathy with the men at
the front, by their tender Minis
t trations to the sick and
wounded
and by their material aid and unwa'v
a ering fidelity to the Common Cause
Shave won the Undying Love and
Gratitude of the People of the
- andhave South
- an aeBequeathed to their Children
-from Generation to Generation the
Priceless Heritage of their
Memory.
Exhibit B.

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 braved unspeakable
dangers in their defenceless homes.

States. 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. L. M. Green.

I used Doan's Kidney Pills with such
good results that I publicly recoin- Su~
mended them. Today I hold just asp
high an opinion of this remedy and Isc
hope that other sufferers from kidney te4
trouble will give it a trial. For some
time my kidneys were disordered and L
I suffered a great deal from pains Lv
across the small of my back. The
kidney secretions contained sediment, L
were unnatural and so frequent in L
passage as to oblige me to arise sev- L
eral times at night I tried many L
remedies but obtained no benefit until L
I used Doan's Kidney Pills, procured
at W. E. Pelham & Son's drug store.
In a short time my back regained its A

I was once more able to control the Ar
kidney secretions."
