Oct. 30,?The monument on the slate house grounds, hi (tie ahupe of u marble likeness on a suitable granite pedeutral, to the late Senator Benjamin Kyan Tillman of Kdgefleld, Is soon to be placed on 'he. State House grounds. Ily soon Is meant before many months have passed. Credit for securing the funds for this monument Is due Governor John G; Richards of Liberty Hill, now a member of the state tax commission, who was a consplcious leader under Tillman In the Reform Movement back In the late eighties and the early nineties. As a member of 'he house of representatives for a good many years, Major Richards was floor leader of the "Reform" forces. As matter of fact, he was floor leader for, the dispensary forces for a while, expensing the cause of the dispensary f as a step toward prohibition. As soon t as he felt the time had como when prohibition for the state might bo socured, he championed that cause to the exclusion of all others so far as ( the liquor question was concerned; and he is still an ardent prohibition | <loader. He fought In the same forces ^ along with Senator I^aney, for a dry j BtattrftTRT a dry nation; and~ under j that banner both are fighting yet. | Major Richards suggested and ? worked for a Joint resolution, which 5 was passed by the general assembly c while he wus governor (Introduced by c his brothel1 Norman S. Richards, then L a member of the house), for the appropriation pf $10,000 for the Tillman monument, to be made available upon the raising of a like amount by ^ popular subscription. As chairman of a committee, ho took charge of the r raising of the money to supplement c> the appropriation. Some money wus ( raised, then the depression came on; but when It had lifted to some extent. the efforts were renewed and the ^ final success came this year. Now the sculptor has been chosen and the j contract let. y Now suggestion has been made ^ that, before It Is too late on account of the passing of time and the dim- f mlng of memories, and In order to j perpetuate' those memories as far as j may be done in bronze and stone, . movements should bo got under way j for the erection of monuments on the f State House grounds to the valor and achievements and leadership of General Martin Witherspoon Gary and General Matthew Clabraith Butler. , The equestrian statue of Wade Homp- ] ton has long been placed there. With'] him. on the same grounds, should be j ] Gary and Butler. ( ] Mrs. Watkins Dies at Lucknow Lucknuw. Nov. 12.?Mrs. Bessie , K el lev Watkins, tiT. died suddenly at < 1 ' her hime todav.
