Tillman Monument j
To Be Erected
* _
8 pec la) to The Newberry Observer:
Columbia. 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. (
