Dr. Popo moved \to quaeh tho indict

Issued by <ien. ,C. I. \Valkcr|J(^?'?ll|"'
" of tho Coilfederaoy.
All tho old Confederate soldiers of
South Carolina know that it litis born
proposed to erect a building wherein
there shall bo collected ?ucl preserved
tho rooords pertaining to the late war.
In regard to this great undertaking
Gotr. C. I. Walker has addressed tho
following oiroular letter to the men of
tho South Carolina Division :
Headquarters S. C. Division, ^
United Confederate Veterans,
Charleston, 8. ('., Dec. '27, IK!if?. S
Circular Letter A'". ] :
Tho attention of tho camps of this
disvisiou is called to tho very practical
aud feasible plan which has beeu^j
adopted"' to ?4Qoure the necessary
amount for tbo "ereelion of the Buttle-'
Abbey of the Southern Confederacy.
Its succors is near thj hearts of all of
our comrados. It is our desiro to see
soon erected this substantial memorial
building, in which will be gathcrod tho
precious mementoes, truthful docu
ments and tho many relics of our
memorable struggle. This collection
will be the evidoneo and of inestimable
value to auy historian who will do
justico to tho^great causc f^r which wc
gavo our all and many of our loved
comrades yialded their lives. It is duo
to them, it I ib duo to ourselves, it is
duo to our descendants, t hat a true and
correct history of tho war shall bo
writtey. Such a history will. show that
tho Confederacy was rigjjt, legally and
morally, aud defended with a heroism
uuequalod in tho history of the world.
This collection of relics, documents,
etc., must bo made now, bjit thoy will
only bo surrendered by their owners
when they are assured Hhat- they ?*411
bo placed beyond tho" reach of harm iu
a substantial fireproof building and be
pAtaerved with trustworthy care. This
can only bo accomplished by tho ex
penditure of the 'money- which is
sought to }>o gathcrod.
If this 'is not teason enough, then
that tho U. C. V. have committed
themselves to raiso tho amount neces
sary slioultt-mcito every camp to tho
most earnest exertions. ?
An appeal to South Carolina for any
noble cause is sur j to find a glorious
response. An appeal to them for an
object which wil' do honor nhd credit
to thyir loved Confederate soldiers
touches them oven more deeply. Such
an appeal to you, my comrades of the
South Carolina Division, and to you
for It cause whose gr?y?P object is t??
preserve for all tii.lo tho evidences of
your hcroic. actions and that of ouc
dead comrades, will mcot* with a most
liberal response. HewyH4id with but
ouc-hundrcth part of tho aTacrity with
which you sprung to arms at. the crill
of our Stato' in 18f?l and you will do
more than full duty as South Caroli
nians and U. C. V's.

fc'lie Poll Tax.

There will l>e a material chango in tho j
matter of poll taxo* an?l tho following
circular letter of Comptroller Onoihpl <
Norton on the irabjeet wilt ho intefest- j
ing: ' '
- "Tho new Constitution, which goes ;
iuto full operation aftet the 81st of ?

tax upon all nalo citizen* of tbis 8tato?!
under 60 years of age of $1, except ing j
C-on federate aoMiere above the age of '

taking (etarna for thp fiscal year 1896
to hare regard to this constitutional I
provision and take returns for pblls j
accordingly and possibly save yonr
office and poll taxpayers trouble and
a&noyanee." <

^?out in Hcarch for him. After an in
effectual Jnuit, with their worst fears
for his safety being exited, tli^y re
paired to the ccmotory, wjiero the re
