The unveiling of tlie monument to
Major Henry Wirz, C. S. A., at An*
u : 4 i.
w* i . ..v, va'uiK><ti ?iiini iuhiv
|)la*. > < s erday, was an event that
wiil attract attention all over the
country. The monument was tin- i
veiled with appropriate ceremonies.
It was erected through the efforts |
of the Georgia division, United i
Daughters of the Confederacy, and j
largely through the suggestion of i
Mrs. A. H. Hull when she was at the |
head of that organization.
At one time the Daughters decided
to place the monument at Rich- j
mond hut this idea was abandoned
this spring at a meeting held in At- j
lanta and it was decided then to put
it at Andersonvillo, where Major 1
Wirz saw his most active duty as
commandant of the prison during
the civil war.
The inscription on the monument '
was selected with great care so as
not to give offense to any section of!
the country and at the same time
to show the sympathy and love the
Southern women held for one looked j
upon in the South as a martyr. The
Inscriptions are given up largely to i
a recital of historical facts.
The exercises of the unveiling
took place at ten o'clock yesterday. |
Rev. 1*. 11. Mc.Mahon, a Catholic
priest, delivered the invocation and
pronounced the benediction. Addresses
were delivered by l)r. (Charleston
Ol instead, of Atlanta, and
Pleasant A. Stovall, editor of the
Savannah Press. A feature of the
exercises was the unveiling of the j
monument by Mrs. Perln, of
Natchez, Mississippi, a daughter of
Major Wirz.
The singing of "Maryland, My
Maryland," and "Dixie," by a large
chorus, the firing of a military salute
by the Americus military and the
sounding of taps concluded the ceremony,
which was attended by a
large number of people from different
sections of Georgia.
The monument is a tall shaft of
grey and white, thirty-five feet in
height, in design simple, slender and
systematical, the general design being
that of a monolith. The long
shaft stands on a base formed by
four square slabs of stone, which are
superimposed in the form of a pyramid.
Just above this base the
otherwise unbroken outline of the
shaft is intersected by two heavy
blocks of stone, below which on the
four sides of the monument are carved
the foPov'ng inscription:
(North Side)
"When time shall have softened
passion and prejudice, when reason i
shall have stripped the mask from
misrepresentation, then justice, holding
evenly her scales, will require
much of past censures and praise to
change places."
"Jefferson Davis, December,
1888."
(South Side)
"Discharging his duty with such
humanity as the harsh circumstances
of the times, and the policy of the
foe permitted, Captain Wirz become
at last the victim of a misdirected i
popular clamor. He was arrested in
the time of peace, while under the
protection of a parole, tried by a |
military commission of a service to i
which ho did not belong, and condemned
to ignominous death on
charges of excessive cruelty to Federal
prisoners. Ho indignantly
spurned a pardon proffered on condition
that ho would incriminate
President Davis and thus exonerate
himself from charges of which both
were innocent."
(East Side)
Tn memory of Captain Henry
Wirz, C. S. A. Horn Zurich, Switzerland,
1822, sentenced to death and
executed at Washington, I). C., November
10, 18G5. To rescue his
name from the stigma attached to it ,
by embittered prejudice this shaft is J
erected by the Georgia Division, i
United Daughters of the Confederacy."
(West Side)
"It is hard on our men held in
Southern prison not to exchange
them, but it is humanity to those
in Mir* runl/u t r* fitrii I )tu t t Imj

At this particular time to release all

Horrowcd n Knife l-'rom a I'asNcngor
on the Train and Tried to Kill 1
Himself.
Obtaining a knife from one of the
passengers on the Augusta train,
within two mihs of Columbia, at
Congaree river crossing, Emanuel
llolen, who was being carried to the
Insane Asylum, slashed his own
throat and, after an operation that
lasted forty-live minutes, now 1 i s
dangerously ill at the hospital. Helen
is from North Augusta and was
under guard of a special deputy at
the time of the attempted suicide.

aiaicii i niii everyimng j
went well with him and the prisoner,
who was manacled, until the train
was crossing the Congaree Bridge.
At tins point, just outside of Columbia,
Helen spoke to one of the
passengers, who did not notice that
the man was a prisoner. A knife
was handed Helen and the next thing
the guard knew Helen had made a
vicious attempt to end his own life.
The jugular vein was touched and
Helen was just saved from death.
After being taken to the ifospital
the wound was stitched and the
chances are that Helen will recover
unless blood poisoning should sot in
The doctors state that the knife may
have been rusty, and in that event
Ihe wound might prove fatal. Hol>n
is a middleaged white man.
From those on the train a graphic
dory is told of the struggle between
he guard and the insane man. The
l>assengers thought the man was trying
to cut the guard and several of
them attempted to leave the coach.
Having heen called on by the guard,
K. K. Mitchel, a vonng college man,
who was on the train, assisted in
diking the knife from Holen. It is
<aid that Holen borrowed the knlf"
ibout. twenty miles from Columbia
tnd waited until within two miles
?f Columbia to cut himself. When
he knife was taken from him Holen
Mild, "Let me finish it; 1 want to

LUMBER LOBBY
[Al) DIG SI M OF MONEY TO
SPEND TO CAKKY TIIEIK
clieinc of Protecting I,umber in the
Tariff Dill Through Congress in 1
Washington.
Zach McGee, the wide awake
Washington correspondent of the
olumbia State, says it develops now
hut the lumber lobby, which has
eon operating with considerable
nergy during the present tarilf-niaklg
session of congress, has been suported
most lavishly by tlie lumber
1a nu fact urers.
An assessment was made on each
iwiuin in the various associations
f for each.$1,000 feet of daily
in.. i no jumocr manufacturers of
fie oiaiu ol Oregon and Washington
oiiging to one particular associa-'
on were assessed $2 8,000, but so
ir they have paid only $12,000, and
uy are being vigorously pressed to
ay the rest.
Some of the advocates of free 1 timer
here are declaring that the failre
to pay the assessment is evience
that the real pressure for promotion
on lumber is not so much
oin the sawmill people its from the
mix r syndicates, who own most of
le stumpagc.
There is plenty of money, howi'er,
for the lobby. It is estimated
lat $100,000 was raised to maintin
the special lobby here to try to
iM p the present rates of $2 a tbouind
on rough lumber and the cormsponding
high rates on other
rades.
This does not include the oxpons;
of special delegations sent here
r lumber organizations in various
ates and the expenses of individulumbennen
who have come here
?r the purpose of influencing con essnien
from their own State. A
umber of lobbyists have been in and
>out the capital ever since last
ill.
Some weeks ago, while the bill
as before the house, the lobbyists
ive a series of expensive dinners
, the Wiliard hotel, to which they
vited members of congress and oth s
whom they thought would be
tluential.
