WE
desire to inform our patrons and friends
that we have moved into our New Store,
next door to our old stand.
This store we have built with a view to meeting the
demands of our large and increasing business, and it will
be found complete and up-to-date in every particular.
* We are therefore, prepared to give better service
than ever, before, and we respectfully solicit a continu
ance of the patronage given us in the past.
Come to see us when in town and let us show you
our new store.
REMEMBER, LADIES! o ur Rest Room is
for your use. Come in and make yourselves at home.

THECONFEDERATE MONU
MENT.
I should not like to be that person,
whether man or woman, whose
heart was not stirred and exhilarated
by the very idea of erecting a Con
federate monument here in our
town. It seems, to one of any
patriotic sensibility, clearly demand
ed that, in every way possible, we
should try to express and perpetuate
our senSe of abiding obiigatian to
those heroic ones who gave their
lives for their, and our home-land;
and as we have never, in the worst
of times, been accused of lack of
patriotism, what hinders it, we may
ask, to make the dream true, and to
place in our midst a stately shaft
which shall help to keep the memo
ry of the Confederate soldier green?
Of course there arc obstacles in
the way (when was ever any under
taking perfectly clear of impedi
ment ?) but surely in this building
era, when prosperity seems to be
finding expression in many w'ays,
poverty can hardly be one. Nor, it
would seem, do we lack those who
might be inspired, in such a cause,
with a generous enthusiasm (akin to
the self-forgetful spirit of the Con
federate soldier himself), and who
would be fully capable of carrying'
the movement forward to success.
Some may say that such a monu
ment lis not Jamong the necssitics
|of the community; but have they
; considered how little of all that we
do is absolutely necessary ? Our

were atwnrbed in bare necessities of

the Confederate soldier. I confess,!
should very much like to see a Chap
ter of the ‘-‘United Daughters of the
Confederacy” organized here; and if
any lady of some leisure (it would
would not require much) would in
augurate such a Chapter, I feel
sure that we have at least as good
material as in the average town,
both to build the society out of, in
the matter of Confederate ancestry;
and to assist in maintaining it, in
the matter of resource and talent.
Mrs. J. W. Dear, of Georgetown,
has charge, as organizer, of the dis
trict in which Walterboro hes; and
it is rather surprising that so ener
getic a worker as she is reputed to
be. has, so far, made no effort to es
tablish a Chapter here. Mrs. Har
riet P. Lynch, of Cheraw, is State
historian—one of the most impor
tant departments of the work—
which, as may be supposed, makes
its greatest effort along the line of
the preservation of true history.
Each aspirant far membership is re
quired to give as full an account as
possible of the Confederate soldiery
who compose her ancestors—the
more of them the better—and happy
is she who “hath a whole quiverful”
of them, for they constitute a kind
of credentials of aristocracy in the
organization. Lastly I might
mention Miss Mary B. Poppenheim,
of Charleston, talented editor of
Keystone, the official organ of
women’s clubs for four or five states.
Any, or all of these could give valu

shrink from so ambitious an under
taking as the erection of a suitable
monument by our own unaided ef
forts, at least it Ynight be incur
power to create an interest and an
influence which should greatly pro
mote the plan. In this connection,
one inevitably thinks of that organi
zation of Southern women, which
has its society in almost every town
of importance in the State—except
Walterboro; and which has done so
much, along various lines, to pre

They never knew, as we who mourn
them know.

Returns them all she has to give—a
