Confederate Monument at Marion.
MR. EDITOR-I have been asked by a
brave veterau of Marlboro to writo you a
short article descriptivo of our Confede
rate monument, which was unveiled hore
on Wednesday Ootober 21, so that tho
patriotic women of your county may feel
encouraged when they hear of oar strug
gle lo take fresh hold of the matter and
redouble their efforts to build a fitting
memorial to thc soldier* of Marlboro.
Surely thoy deserve it-surely thor?
were no braver, truer men from any part
of tho State than from old Marlboro, and
the women should fool proud to do them
honor.
The idea of a monument to tho soldiers
of Marion county first originated in the
brain and heart of Mrs. J. D. MoLuoas,
who, as Miss Elvira Sherwood, had nur*
sed thc sick and wounded soldiers in tho
hospitals during the war. Sho was ably
seconded by Mrs Duncan Molntyro, who
had gono to tho front with hor husband
and learned thc full meaning of war.
In spite of thc greatest efforts, the fund
grew very slowly, 60 slowly as to bo dis>>
coura^ing, but thoy never gave up, and
as the younger generation carno en they
weic impressed with tho importance of
tito cause, and thc interest in it at once
augmented.
About sjx years ago. tho Marion Chap
ter U. D. C., was formed here. Tho first
officers wore Mrs M. E, Durham, prest.,
Mrs A. M. Blu>j, vico prest., Mrs Dun
can McIntyre treasurer, Kato Lilly Blue
sec'y Their chief object was to raise the
money necessary to build tho monument,
but aa they were pledged to aid all other
worthy causes, they could not make the
money soon enough. So, in Mardi 1901
thc Ladies Monument Association was
organized for thc sole purpose of building
thc monument as soon as possible.
The officers of this society wero Mrs C.
A; Durham, mest., Mrs. O- A; Wood?
vine prent,, Kute lally L'luc ,-eo'y, arid
thoy want to work iii earnest.
A sub??oriptioh list was JIIV.". .tired and
ai B j iud, A lari y in each t?wush?p
'nt. flV'piunu'.d lu tate Bubs?ripilbosraou
jj.* pater! imueni o?uiuiittee jv..s r.p
pointed whoso business it was to devise
uovol and attractive entertainments which
would draw crowds and bring in dollars.
By the summer of 1902 tho whole
amount decided on, $2300, was in hand,
aud plans und specifications received from
different sources.
Thc plan selected was a bronze statue
of a Confederate soldier willi his gun
resting upon his arm, upon a pedestal of
granite. Thc figure H 8 ft, thc pedestal
1 (> ft, um: as it stands in the centre of our
beautiful elm shaded sq uar o at the inter
section of Main and Godbold ats., it
makes quite an imposing spectacle.
lt was unveiled on the 21st, Bishop
ISilisbn Capers delivering tho oration and
Judge J. H. Hudson addressing tho as
sembled veterans. It was a great day for
Marion. There was a crowd numbering
?,00() present, muong them being at least
350 veterans. The writer had lue boner
and pleasure of pinning the badges givon
by thc Ladies Monument Association and
the U. DT C-, and sho was thankful to sec
E0 many survivors sf ill left.
The town was gayly docoratcd in pa?
triotic colors, and the parade was from
Railroad Avenue down Main to^ Square.
There were two military companion and a
brass baud, then carriages containing the
speakers, carriages containing officers of
the Ladies Monument Association and
officers of the U D. C.. then floats con
taining members of tho two societies, then
thc children from the Graded School and
lastly 272 battle-scarred, timo woin vcto
rans. It was an affecting sight.
Thc cords were pulled by four lillie
girls, thc descendants of Confederate vet
erans, and as the unveiling fluttered down
the band played "Dixie" and the veterans
gave the rebel yell, lod by that grand old
rebel, Capt A. T. Harllco of Dillon.
It was a day long to bo rc me inhered in
Marion, and wo who have given our timo
and our labors to this cause feel amply re*
paid for all.

RESOLUTIONS
By (ho Sunday school of The Thomas
Memorial Baptist church of Bennetts
ville, S.C.
In that Cod has taken to her heavenly
home one of our little members, EVELYN
CROSLAND, we bow to the will of Him
who docth all things well. Surely a s~?cot
littlechild has been taken from us. A
little flower has beco plucked from the
garden to wither and die, but God hath a
blighter purpose for her in heaven
"Death loves a shining mark," and by
thc plucking of this blossom from the
garden wc arc painfully reminded of the
uncortainty of life and thc certainty of
death. Therefore be it resolved,
1st That wo tender tho bereaved fam
ily our heartfelt sympathy and commend
them to Him who hath said, "I havo
loved thee with an everlasting lavo."
2-i, That thc Secretary bu instructed
jo spread a copy of those resolutions upon
thc records of* this Sunday school, that a
copy be sent to thc Baptist Courier, a
copy furnished thc local paper.i and a copy
prose ? tod to tho f'umily.

For putting in prime condition
any horse or mule the best of all
remedies is Ashcraft's Condition
Powders. These Powders are Won
derfully effective because they cre
ate appetite, the digestion is made
perfect, worms and parasites de
stroyed, and the system cleansed
of all gross humors. The Pow
ders fatten but never bloat.
Ashcraft's Condition Powders
are wrapped in doses. In fact, in
their preparation the same care is
used that a druggist would exer
cise in the filling of. a physician's
prescription. High grade and real
merit is the first consideration.
Ashcraft's Powders consist of
small doses, prepared from the
purest and highly concentrated in
gredients, that have been found
beneficial to horses and mules.
Ashcraft's Condition Powders
always high grade-are not to be
classed with the many bulky, good
for-everything powders now on the
market.
Ask for Ashcraft's, the kind put
up in doses, and good for horses
and mules only.
' Having tried many kinda of Condition Pow
dors, I confider Ashcraft's the best on thc
market. I mite pleasure In recommending
them to my friends aud customers.-H. CAMP
