With the War between the State* a memory, the second and third gen eration* of the direst conflict In American history are doing honor to the women of the South. In the forefront of recognition, coining publicly more than half a century after the war" Is Houili C*r oiina. The men of that state have builded a monument to the women. , The memorial will be unveiled at Columbia, the capital, April 11. Whatever may have been the anl mositlea engendered by civil tit rife, ail the United States may well pause for the moment to approve and ap , plaud the sentiment that survives to tbift day. The monument on which, the elo- J quent tributes are incribed repre hend the glorification by South Car olina and her children of the women of the Confederacy. With the Is? y sues of the wur settled, and the country united, blotting out the rancor and the animosities of that unhappy era, the people of the New Houth foretold by Grady beck to im mortalize the lofty Hpirlt of the brave days of old. It 1h a worthy step-? one which the country, which no longer* ban a Mason and Dixon's line, may view "with complacency. ? Heattle (Wash.) Timet*.

A matter, of great Importance that <lwi not seem to b? aerlouvly con "ildeired '"by rtr? public li ? the poor water pressure lit fir*#. Cannot you recall the thousand* of dollars of damage that hu been t-auaed by fire, which perhaps could have been checked, If there $n$d been proper water pressure. It >U tin fortunate and the citizens should not ignore the fact that presents Itself at al most every fire. Do you not recall the poor pressure at the fire that destroyed a number of stores on Malu street a few years ago? The fire wan hot and the hard fighting firemen could not get clone to the burning building, and together with the poor procure, made the fighting all the more difficult, and whereas good prefeuure might have saved ma ny thousands of - dollar#. And then the burning of the Ancrum house on Fair street, when it wan impossible to get water on top of the kitchen, and by the time the fir had complete control of everything, the pressure came on, but too late to do any good. Perhaps you n member the burning of Mr*. A. II Clarke's house on Fair street. It was disheartening to see the fire men working hard, and doing abso lutely no good, whereas if there had been proper pressure, the frame of the house could have been saved at least. Then too in the same neighborhood I)r. B. F. liraslngtoua handsome house was practically de stroyed. The firemen had to get a ladder and go on the shed to play water on the fire and overcome the poor pressure. Then the handsome vonTresckow house on llobkirk Hill. It is true the fire was burning on the roof when theflremen arrived, but the lower part of the house could have been saved, provided the water could - have reached the flames. You can recall how the McDowall house near the Presby terian church w,as saved after the house seemed doomed, due to the water having force enough to reach the flames. There are other In stances similar to the ones that could be recalled but turn to the recent fires when the three barn? were burned. The pressure was poor. Then last Sunday when Mr. W. C. 'Moore's house was on fire, there was fairly good pressure and as a result the house was saved. ~+f there had been poor pressure brick chimneys and a heap of ashes might have told a different tale. Almost everyday you hear some one com plaining of their insurance falling due, and of the Inconven ience that they will be put to in paying lt;?ot the high rate they are compelled to p ay; and of the fact that they are practically forced to carry Insurance and plenty of it- ? judging from the destructive fires of the past. A town without proper fire pro tection will have to pay a higher insurance rate. Camden lias two splendid fire departments, a mod I ern fire alarm system, and some of the best firemen, but we ar.e all jeopardized as matters now stand I on account of the low water pres l sure. Can't this evil be remedied? KEMBIOKTS NEWS ITEMS Rembort, S. C., April 17.? Tho rains tills week have thrown back plowing for aoine days. Fine prog ress has been* made during the last two weeks. Corn i? planted and a good deal of cotton is in the ground Some of both are up. , Oats are fine, but less are are planted than wo have ever seen. This is owing to the wet weather last fall and the effort to gather the cotton. From Indications we will have a fine fruit year. Our sick folks, we are glad to say, are all better. Our public high-ways are getting so we can travel 9 so we guess Camden will see the people from hore /quite often. A negro died yesterday morning on Mr. Bradley's place, and the col ored people say he had a "hand" on him ? meaning he was conjured. r Magistrate Olllis arrested a negro Sunday, for cruelty to his horse, and gave him ten days. He irled a good many from Hagood and vi cinity yesterday for gambling. Ev ery Sunday they meet in secret places and gamble and at nights too. The fines for yesterday's crowd was about $55.00 Rev. J. W. Kenney preached at Bethany church, Lee county, Hun day. He has accepted the call of the church for the balance of tho year. The writer attended the unveil ing ceremonies in Columbia last week and enjoyed the occasion. The great crowd showed the feelings of the people for what will ever be most sacred in their eyes and hearts The exercises were orderly and fine. Mr. Barnwell did honor in his line address. There was nothing to mar the occasion. Politics was laid aside and all met on one common ground. It looks as if Roosevelt will be tho Republican nominee for presi? dent. The future is fullof chances from the custom of the fathers. A real estate transfer of much Interest is the purchase of the handsome residence of Mr. W. R. Eve, Jr., on Lyttleton street near Rectory Square, by Mr. R. B. Pitts, president of the Hermitage Cotton Mill. This is one of the most mod ern and complete homes In this city and Mr. Pitts is to be congratulat ed upon securing it. It is under stood that Mr. Eve will build ft* soon as he can secure a site.
