New Orleans Pays Tribute to (be President
of Coafederacy
HON. JEFFERSON DAVIS
Monument Unveiled With Impressive
Ceremonies?Slinft is of Crnnite
With Bronze Statuo?Living i'liig
by School Children One of the
Features of the Celebration.
On the birthday of Cleorge Washington
New Orleans Wednesday paid
tribute to the only President of the
Confederacy by unveiling a monument
to Jefferson Davis in the Parkway,
recently honored with his name.
The ceremony began at 2 o'cIock
with a parade of Confederate veterans,
national guards and Confederate
societies. A beautiful and picturesque
feature of the unveiling
was the formation of a living Confederate
flag by the school children.
The honor of drawing the cords
which bared the shaft to the view of
the thousands who had gathered for
the ceremony was given to Mrs. J. F.
Spearing, treasurer of the Jefferson
Davis Monument association which Is
responsible for tho tribute to the
Confederate leader.
The monument is of granite with
a bronze statue of Jefferson Davis
and represents one of the !u??t ??r.
forts of Edward Virginlus Valentine.
It stands at the corner of Hagan avenue
and Canal street. The principal
address was delivered hy C?n. Bennett
II. Young, of Louisville, who
said:
In addition to the popular subscriptions
collected in New Orleans, a
small surplus of the general Southern
fund raised for the Jefferson
Davis monument in Richmond which
was unveiled in 1907, was turned
over to the local monument association.
The statue is of heroic size, the
President of the Confederacy being
1 represented in a standing posture as
though he were addressing an audience.
The pedestal is made of selected
South Carolina granite and
measures IS feet 9 lnrhee square at
the base and has a height of 14 feet
2 inches. The statue cast of bronze
stands eight feet 8 inches high.
The large base under the die shows
the seal of the Confederacy made of
bronze, surrounded by a laureai
wreath. Directly underneath are two
elaborately carved palm branches
with oak leaves, emblematic ot
strength and peace and the upper
end of the die shows a row of 13
stars, the number of state represented
in the Confederacy.
"Jefferson Davis, misjudged in
hip. and disfranchised until death, is
finding his true place in history," declared
Gen. Young. "As the voice
of reason speaks to the public heart
there are discovered many sad events
in the career of Jefferson Davis
which the nation regrets. The cruelties
inflicted upon him at Fortress
Monroe, the indignities heaped upon
him when his emaciated limits were
manacled by force, the hardships visited
upon him in his long confinement,
all well thinking American citizens
would (dot out if they could.
The impartial judgment of mankind
will tlx the wrong of these thing*
where it belongs.
"These words were not spoken to
nwaken a single question of prejudice
of ill will; they nre only given
utterance to emphasize the duties of
the South to the memory of Mr.
Da\is. In every Southern state there
should be erected a monument to his
memory. Mr. Davis suffered as 110
other Confederate. His life was pure
and his career upright. His integrity
beyond suspicion and his patriotism
immeasurable. He became the
leader of his people over his personal
protest of unworthiness. He
assumed a task at which any human
being might hesitate. No responsibility
more stupendous wae ever laid
on human heart; no burden so great
ever placed upon human shoulders.
Moved only by a sense of duty, mistakes
were inevitable.
"Twenty-two years have passed
since he died and the limelight of his
history has only brightened every
spot in his pure, unsullied life, lie
stood suffering, humiliation and imprisonment
for tho South and he
bore in his heart and soul the deepest
anguish for his people. Now that
he is gone and men may review the
past and weigh and judge his life,
hla conduct and his motive, slowl>
but surely and irresistibly Jefferson
Davis is coming into his own. As he
stood for the South, the South will
stand for him and all that his life
and suffering implied, and the South
will see that he shall be understood
and appreciated and that no shadow
shall darken his fame and that no
misrepresentation shall dim the
splendor of his character."
Happy Reunion.

WITH THE fUNNY MAN ,
Her Patriotic Pretest.
The force of natural and instinctive
pride In one's country has been endlessly
expressed in literutures of all 1
times and climes, but rarely more dra- 1
matically than in the following little I
incident: 1
Grieg, as every one knows, is the 1
musical idol of all Norwetgians, although
it has been the fashion of less
talented outsiders to underrate him. 1
One of the most indefatigable of these i
detractors was the German compost! '

oub nature.
One day one of his pupils, a Nor- i
wegian girl, brought for her lesson t
concerto of Grieg's. Burgiei *ook it I
from her with a smile of most superior !
disdain.
"But I told you to bring your music, 1
and Grieg is no music," he said, scornfully.
I
"What! Grieg no music!" was the j
indignant reply. "Adieu, Herr Profes- <
sor!" and she swept out of the studio
never to return. \

A Fhrewd old Vermont farmer came I
into a lawyer's office the other day and 1
proceeded to relate the circumstances I
in a matter about which he thought it i
would be profitable to "go to law."
"You think I hev a good case?" he
finally asked.
"Very good, indeed!" the lawyer assured
him. " You should certainly
bring suit."
"What would your fee be for the
whole thing?" the old farmer said.
"Fifty dollars," was the prompt re 1
sponse.
The client pulled out an old wallet
extracted a roll of bills and counted
out $'>0.
"Now," he said, "you hev got all you
would get out of this case anyhow; so
s'pose you tell me honestly just what
you think my chunces of wiuuin* a

A little girl and her mother were
walking down the street, when they
came to a place where straw had been
spread over the pavement to deaden
the noise, because of the illness of a

"What's all that hay aoiug out In the

"That's because Mrs. E. has a f

Talked to Tliein Straight.
Senator Owen, of Oklahoma, gave
the Republicans in the Senate some
straight talk when the subsidy steal
was under discussion in that body.
In a forcible, biting speech against
the measure he advised the Senate
to adjourn and go home. "This congress
has been repudiated by the
\merican people," Baid Senator
Owen, in a clear ringing voice, "and
yet it continues in session in an
effort to put through discredited
legislation like the ship subsidy bill.
The people repudiated the party in
power because of its advocacy of ship

rhis speech grated on the sensibilities
of such eminent trust advocates
ind defenders as Vice-Presldt nt
Sherman, Senators Lorimer, Depew,
Aldrlch, Lodge and others of that
Ilk, but they could not say a word in
reply, as they knew Senator Owen
was telling the truth, and if they denied
It, he would prove it by reading
the returns of the last election, when
the Democrats carried everything,

In a struggle with a frenzied man
during which a girl braved a magazine
pistol and was beaten about the
face until she was all but unconscious,
she finally worsted her opponent
and by n remarkable display of
courage probably saved the lives of
four children.
The unequal fight occurred in the
parlor of the home of George Eichner,
on East Illinois street, in Chicago,
and Miss Emma Eichner, 18
years old. was the heroine. It began
the instant Robert Braun. who was
nursing fancied wrongs against Eichner,
knocked at the door early In
the evening and asked to be admitted, i
"No. you'd better some around tomorrow."
said the girl.
"I'm here now and I'm here to
stay," exclaimed Braun, pulling the J
magazine pistol from his pocket and
forcing his way into the hallway.
Miss Eichner seized his arms and
with all her strength tried to push
the intruder back. Together they
struggled until reaching the parlor
door Braun noticed the four children.
Then he leveled the pistol at the
children, who huddled under a Davenport
in a corner, and was about to
fire. But the girl released tier grip
on his other arm and with both
hands forced the muzzle of the weapon
toward the ceiling :;s Hraun began
firing.
Finally the gun clogged-and while
he was examinning it Miss ICiohner 1
leaped upon Hraun, pushed him out
of the front door and closed and
locked it.

In a decision handed down Thurs- 1
day at Washington by the Interstate-'
Commerce Commission, the freight '
rates on vegetables from the Char- '
leston, S. C.. district to HuCTalo. New |
York and Pittsburg, Pa., are found;'
to be unreasonable to the extent that 1
they exceed the combination of rates '
to Baltimore, Md. The decision was '
reached in the case of the National '
League of Commission Merchants of,1
the Fnited States against the At- '
lant ic Coast Line railroad and other
carriers.
The defendant lines are ordered
to establish before April 15 and |
j maintain in force for at least two
years, rates on vegetables from Charleston
to MufTalo and Pittsburg which
shall uot exceed the combination ,
rates on Baltimore, and it is ordered
that the rates on vegetables from the
below named points to Buffalo ami ,
Pittsburg shall not exceed the follow- !
ing differentials in cases per 100 '
pounds over contemporaneous rates
from Charleston to the same points, j'
From \l* -iS n? < l > ?? '

NO TUBERCULOSIS FUNDS. I
Fight on Disease Affected by Ijuk of
Appropriation.
No money to fight tuberculosis'
It is pointed out that one appropriation
that the Legislature may have
made to save the people of the State
from the ravaves of a dread disease
was not even mentioned in the General
Assembly.
"Certainly." writes Dr. C. Fred
Williams, secretary of the State
hoard of health, "we all must feel
a sense of humiliation when we con-1
trast what has been done in out
State in this regard with that of others."
In 1010 the following Legislatures
appropriated specifically to 11 Hit
tuberculosis j Kentucky, $1,000;
Maryland, $17~?,000; Massachusetts
$300,000; Mississippi. $1,000; New
Jersey, $00,000; New York. $100,000;
Porto Rico. $14,000; Rhode
Island, $f?0,000; Vermont, $3,000;
Virginia, $25,000.
In 1009, when forty-three Legislatures
were in session. $3.000,00a
of States' money were appropriated
for tulierculosis institutions and crusades
against the disease.
Ilr. Williams says: "South Carolina
did not figure in this sum, nor
did she have a penny to her credit
for the year just closing. Surely the
lives, health, happiness and prosperity
of our people are no less deserving
of consideration than those
in other States."

Although Gov. Hloase announced ^
his intention of vetoing the measures
pro iding for rural police in the
counties of Newberry, Cherokee and
Spartanburg, he has approved rural
I police measures for Marlboro, rickens.
Florence, Greenwood, Abbeville
and It: rnwell.
1 The governor of the state have as
his reasons for vetoing the acts that
I the appointive power was placed with
the sheriffs and not with the governor
of the state or C. L. Illease.
Gov. Hlense has approved many
acts since the adjournment of the
general assembly. Several hundred
have received his signature and there
are few left to be acted upon,
i Hi' sounded a note of warning
| against factory inspection and said
that the inspectors must go. However.
he approved the amendment
to the child labor law and also the
measure to regulate the working ot
women in the stores.
I Gov. Hlense has taken the power of
enforcing the law out of the hands
of Commissioner Watson with reference
to factory inspection. Yet the
law is still on the stautc books. The
manufacturers of the state have always
cooperated in ev< ry manner for
the enforcement of the factory in
spection laws and favored th anteteltncnl
this year of eliminating till
children under III years of go from
the mills after next year.
The fa-dory inspection law Is on
the statute hooks and any citie ti of
tin' state who finds that the law is
being violated lias the right to bring
proceedings against the violators
over the head of Gov. Illeasc. lie
does not think that the law should
be enforced, however, he can not
raise his hand if a violation is found
and proceeding instituted.
A majority of the acts that have
been approved by Gov. Dlease are of
a local nature.
AmonR the acta approved by Gov.
Hlease are that providing for an
election in the county of Greenville

Senator Tillman's Condition.
The renorts s<*nt out from Washington
to the effect that Senator Tillman
had suffered a collap.-e in the
senate, while attempting to deliver
a eulogy on 'he life of tie- late Senator
Clay of Georgia, have caused
considerable apprehension to he expressed
on the part of Senator Tillman's
friends.
While it is true that Son a I. r Till
nrin is not near t he s:uii" lie v. as
physically before he suffered his severe
illness last year, and does not
attempt to exert himself in debat s,
he is able to transact the ordinary
business in his office and to be on the
floor at the sessions of tie- senate.
He is still a believer in physical exercise
and takes his accustomed
walks front the capitol to his apartments.
at the Hotel Norniandie. every
afternoon when the weather is
good. This gives him a walk of
about a mile and a half.
His effort to deliver the eulogies
to Senator Clay were perhaps more
than Senator Tillman could stand at
the time, hence his statement that ho
would not talk farther, after having
uttered a few words. Recreation during
the coming recess of congress
will put him in hotter condition for
the next session. We make this
statement in answer to enquiries
about the Senator's health, and we
join his hosts of friends in wishing
him complete restoration to health.
He is taking care of himself and will
be with us many, many years yet.
He could not be spared.
Raise It at Home.
The Sumter Herald says. "A
.Himiri int-i i n.iiii recently nougni a
oar load of corn from a western
point. The corn cost him $500; the
freight on it was within a lltil" of
$150. To make a selling price he
had of course to include the freight
with the first cost. The corn sold
for seventy-five cents a bush?; If
the corn had been raised at home,
thnt is had cost only for the grain
and not for the freight, the pr'ce to ^
the consumer would have been about VI
sixty rents a bushel. The point to
this is that South Carolina should
raise its own corn.
