I ^ I HONOR OUR WOMEN ???^. 1 MONUMENT TO THE HEROINES OF THE CONFEDERACY ? , UNVEILED IN COLUMBIA + ? -* ' ? m.,11 x ? Men of Houtii Carolina i-ay -xrivuie to Women of the Confederacy When Beautiful Monument 011 State House Grounds is Unveiled in Presence of Mighty Multitude. The memorial to the Confederate Women of South Carolina erected by the State, was unveiled at Columbia At noon Thursday with appropriate Ceremonies and before a crowd rep?-?, resenting every section of the State. The monument, erected on tlie State house grounds, is a beautiful work of 1 lie sculptor's art, and represents the first memorial ever erected independently by a State, to women. Gen. C. Irvine Walker, commander-in-chief of the United Confederate Veteran, turned the monument over to the custody of the Daughters of the Confederacy and then introduced the orator of the occasion, Major Joseph W. Barnwell, of Charleston. The ceremonies opened with a prayer by Kev. .1. G. lticha'rds chap* ? J 1 - mit. l B noroHuo rn cr _ jam 01 iiiu i t'liui ouuiu vaiuiinu i v.?iment, C. S. A. Then followed the opening address by Gen. Walker, chairman of the monument commission. lie was in turn followed by tho orator, Major Barnwell. , The monument was unveiled at an appropriate time during the address of Major Barnwell. The unveiling was followed by the firing of an artillery salute by the German Artillery of Charleston. A (musical program then came and finally the benediction by Jtev. F. O. S. Curtis. A picked company of cadets from Clemson College camped 011 the grounds near tho location of the monument and took part in the exercises. Conspicuous among the attendants at tho exercises were many of the women who lived during the Civil war and had borne the burdens of the strife, the monument commemorated. They occupied seats of honor and wore badges supplied by the local chapter U. D. C. It was a noble remnant of the grand women of the Confederacy. Thursday afternoon a reception to the State president, Daughters of the Confederacy, the officers of tho South Carolina chapters, U. D. C., and the regents of tlie State chapters D. A. H., was given by the two Columbia chapters. Daughters of the Confederacy, in the Metropolitan Club from 4:30 to 6:30 o'clock. The State house corridor had been elaborately iionnrnipri nnd n luncheon was served to the guosts of honor. The monument was designed by F. Wellinger ltuckstuhl, of New York. The central figure depicts a Southern woman, dignified and beautiful, waiting to be crowned with laurel by a figure in the rear. On either side are other figures representing the South, bearing laurel to lay at the heroine's feet. The most important inscription on the monument says, "in this monument generations unborn shal\ hear the voice of a great people testifying to the sublime devotion of the women of I South Carolina in their country's II need." | Gen. Walker briefly sketched the history of the movement for the erec\ tion or the monument and said: "The results of the grand movement are before you and will soon be unveiled for your admiration and your I; veneration. "The commission selected as the artist Mr. F. W. ltuckstuhl, whose design gave them entire satisfaction, embodying the sentiment which should bo expressed. They feel that the artist has done his work well and believe that the people of South Carolina, who entrusted us with its direction will likewise most fully and heartily approve. "Before you stands tno proof mai South Carolina in her hours of woe and distress had grand Daughters Just on the opposite side of the State house, raising its head to high heav' en is the evidence that sho alse had valiant Sons, who willingly "dice1 for their country." Between these two memorials towers the State house, the seat of South Carolina's sovereignty, the home of her great ness. It is an impressive picture telling why South Carolina has se brilliant a past. It pictures that ii life and io death her Sons and hoi Daughters, amidst all danger and ?1 trouble have gathered around her j ready to do and to dio that she maj ft . "So long as that stately bulldinf I stands, so long as these memorials o) I the patriotic loyalty of her children I endure, may South Carolina have doI voted Daughters and valiant Sons, tc I support and defend her as did your I , ancestors, whose sacred memories she b bids you forever preserve and whose It splendid example sho urges you to emulate. "It gives mo great pleasure to preWk sent to you the orator of thp day? I 'one whose life has been one of long and valued service to his State; pne t SENT HER TO JAIL MISS BELLE YOE IS HEED IN CONTEMPT OF COURT. ' ? Slio Refuses to Vucate Lands, and Judge Sense Imposes Prison Sen- 1 tence of Thirty Days. A most unusual event in South Carolina court happenings was the commitment to jail at Greenwood Wednesday morning of Miss Rello Yoo by order of Judge Sease for contempt of %court. She was adjudged in contempt of court because she had refused to vacate certain lands condemned by the town of Greenwood, such condemnation being recently af- : firmed by the supreme court. < Judge Sease issued a rule Tuesday | for Miss Yoe to show cause why she ] should not be adjudged in contempt , Tr? duRwor tn the rule Miss i /I VA/lll l,t XJI .. w Yoe appeared in court Wednesday morning and when questioned by liis onor stated that she had not been , contemptuous but' always very re- ' spectful to tlio court. Judge Sease then recited the case to her and the aflirmation of the verdict of the ciruit court by the State supreme court and asked why she did not obey the order of the court and move off the condemned lands. '.Miss Yoe answered that it was her home, left her by her parents. Judge Sease ordered V> sheriff to take charge of her and J commit her to jail for a period of 3 0 "lays for contempt of court, but added hat if she decided to obey the court's order to vacate that she would he liberated Miss Yoe readily accompanied the deputy sheriff, D. T. Major, to the jail, where she now is. Coming into court she brought with her a large bouquet of flowers. She laid these down on the outside before going in, but when she came out she picked hem up and carried them on to jail with her. On the way over she asked what would bo the outcome at the end of 30 days. Whether that is an indication that she means to remain the 3 0 days is not known. To insist upon occupying the promises on her release would doubtless mean constant arrest and imprisonment, since the court has adjudged her in contempt. The land in question is about 70 acres and adjoins the present tract owned by the town of Greenwood and used by the water and light plant. The land was con. . i- _ /~vf tiin water to protect tue waicioiiou v.. ^..v. demned under statuory proceedings supply of the town. ROBBER BANDS FIGHT. ?. . Crafty Chinese Make Them Wipe Out Each Other. A desperate battle between two robber Chinese bands, resulting in the extermination of both, saved the town of Pao Chow from pillage, according to news just received. Two bands of robbers of about 500 each advanced oil the town from different directions. The townspeople negotiated with the first band that arrived to drive out the other band and receive two-thirds of the loot of the city. The citizens went out to assist the first band. The robber allies of the citizens bore the brunt of the battle and the second robber band was exterminated. But there were 150 of the first band left when the fighting was over, and the townspeople fell upon these, killed part of them in battle and captured and executed the re1 mainder. who, as a boy bared his breast to but tie's storm and carries to his grave the marks of the enemies' wounds; one, who is proud to own South Carolina as his mother; and 0110 whom 1 South Carolina is ever and will be 1 proud to own as her distinguished > Son?the Honorable Joseph W. Barn1 well." Mr. Barnwell's able narrative of 1 (ho events leading up to the war, his 1 description of the gallant soldiers of 1 the South, and his stirring tribute to ' tho uncomplaining, dauntless selfsacrificing Women of the Confederacy ; received tho closest, attention from > tho vast audience and tho frequent . applause attested tho appreciation of i (he listeners. Master Benjamin Wilson Walker, ) Miss Margarette Richards, Master I Thomas Moore Craig, and Miss Alida } Gonzales at 1:22 P. M., pulled the i cords which lifted tho Confederate J (lags enveloping tho monument and - disclosed tho superb monument of % n- i ^ , bronze and South Carolina granite to ) tlio South Carolina Women of the 1 Confederacy, the State's memorial to r their heroic devotion and solf-sacri1 (ice. A mighty cheer went up from , the great audience when the coverr ings were lifted. A salute of twenty-one guns was r fired by the Gorman Artillery, of f Charleston, commanded by Capt. F. i W. Wagoner, himself one of the most . gallant of tho South's heroes. ? While the hand played "Dixie" ' and other patriotic Southern airs the i weaths and garlands were placed on i J tlio monument. They wore beauti1 fnl and as profuso a floral offering .?6 was over seen. The Winthrop students were among tho first to place a wreaths and garlands were placed on learge wreath narcissus at tho foot of, i the monument. 1 t ) BEACH IS WANTED CHARGED WITH SLASHING WIFE'S THROAT IN AIKEN. WARRANT FOR ACCUSED Sensational Development In the Case Involving Recent Mysterious Attack 011 a Prominent New York Society Woman Wintering In South Carolina City. The Aiken correspondent of The State says a warrant charging Frederick O. Beach, New York society man and member of the Aiken millionaire colony, with assault and battery with intent to kill his wife, Mrs. Camilla Beach, was sworn out there Monday. This action grows out of tho assault made upon Mrs. Beach on the night of February 2G, when she was felled with a fence paling and her throat was slashed, in the yard of her winter home, which has been the season's sensation at this resort. It was claimed by the Beaches that Mrs. Beach had been called out to the gate hy a negro man, who said he had a note for her; that she went to get it and that the negro then slashed her throat and made his escape in the darkness. A gold-plated, diamond-studded pocket knife, the property of Beach, given by him to Mayor Gyles about three weeks ago, is held as mute evidence against him. Upon microscopic examination made by experts, first*.in Aiken, then in Augusta and lastly in Columbia, quantity of human blood was found on the larger blade. This is one of the prosecution's main points. It is also said that a conversation between Mr. and Mrs. Beach, overheard while the two were left in a room by a man concealed behind a bookcase for the purpose will be relied upon to some extent. A warrant accusing Beach has been expected for more than a week past by those who have been in the secret that the detective employed by the city authorities was continuing his investigations. This detective, M. S. Baughan, who came here about three weeks ago, was one of the sleuths who succeeded in landing Abe Ruef behind the bars. The warrant was sworn out by S. E. Ilolley, one of the rural police ? ^ ik a i. m a ? m ?? f /-* >? AT n nrlofro f n 111(311 U1 Lllclt CUUUl^ uciui c; iuagiona.ic Smoak, and Solicitor Gunter took ste])s at once to have the governor of South Carolina issue a requisition ui)on the governor of New York for Beach. Beach left there two weeks ago with his wife for New York, giving it out before his departure that he intended to sail for Europe April 20 with W. K. Vanderbilt, whose guests he and Mrs. Beach were to be on their European trip. It was learned, however, after Solicitor Gunter had [left the city, that the Beaches sailed from New York for a European port last Wednesday. Pearl Ilamjiton, the negro woman who was also struck with the same fence paling of February 2G, a few minutes before Mrs. Beach was struck down and who has stoutly refused to give the police any information of the events of that night, was also taken into custody, together with two maids from the home of Joseph Ilarriman, the valet of C. W. Dolan of PViflnrlolnhtn nnit twn maids emnlnv cd at (ho Lyons home, adjoining that of the Beaches. All of these are held as witnesses and gave bond for their appearance at the June term of court of general sessions, which convenes a* that place on June Z. It was through -Mr. Dolan's valet, Charlie Woodridge, whoso wife is Mrs. Beach's maid, that it was learned that the Beaches had sailed for Europe. Woodridge stated, after his arrest, that he had received a wire from his wife Tuesday night that she would sail the next morning with Mr. and Mrs. Beach for Europe. The complaint is sworn out on information and belief and alleges that: "On the night of the 2 6th day ot February F. O. Beach did commit an assault and battery with Intent to kill in that he did wilfully, unlawfully and maliciously and with malice aforethought, with a knife or some sharp instrument, cut and wound one Mrs. Camilla Beach with intent her, the said Mrs, Camilla Beach, to kill and murder." Rapidly spread the news that a warrant had been issued charging Beach with the crime that the Beaches had persistently charged tc an unknown negro, out of the gossir of which grew tho wrath of C. Olivet tunitn who wrote a letter to Mayor Byles, in which ho stated: "It would give me much pleasure to participate in the lynching of the person or persons who are responsible for these slanderous accusations." Mrs. .Joseph ITarriman denounced the warrant as an outrage. It became known that before the Beaches left Aiken they were put through a severe examination by the detective who has worked up the evidence against them and that Beach was aware that suspicion pointed strongly to him was evident from statements matjo by him to the detective and the mayor. . I . / MAKES FINE SHOWING SOUTH CAROLINA SHOW'S BIO , CAINS IN MANY WAYS, 5 She Ranks Third in Agriculture, Sec- ? J ond iu Cotton Manufactures and is Rapidly-Crowing. J Statistics comparing the yield of factory and field in the South in 18GO and 1910 were presented by the sec- j retaries of agriculture of various southern states at the closing of sessions of the Southern Commercial Congress, which recently met in J Nashville, Tenn. Reports showed Lhat nearly all the states now double and treble the output of the ante bel- j lum clays. With the department of agriculture of South Carolina created only nine . years ago, the industry of the Palmetto state already has shown an amazing increase, outranKlng all save one state of the older common- j wealths in the percentage of increase between 1,0 0 0 and 19 00 and 1910. When the department was created . ho annual agricultural production was $51,3 24,000. In 1910 the production of chief crops only was $140,000,000 an increase in a decade of j 173 per cent. The 190 9-10 census total of all agricultural products, omitting the trucking Industry and . live stock, was $144,397,319. This is from a state of less than 31,000 square miles. In textile manufacture it occupies second place in ] the union. In the percentage increase of production between 1909 I and 1910 the state led the union with , tho exception of Wyoming and Nev- 1 ad a, rank far down in tho list, of actual volume. In actual production South Carolina, with its small territory, has jumped from twenty-first o thirteenth in the list. The 1910 census showed 17G.1S0 farms in the state, an increase of 13 per cent.; values increased 1G2 per cent., and values of implements and machinery 112 per cent. Commissioner E. J. Watson says the rush to tho city has been checked and that particular energy is being concentrat? m It- , od on economic improvement 01 uie rural districts, where 82.2 per cent, of the population lives. Anions the ranking agricultural states of the union South Carolina stands third In value per square mile. Illinois leads with $5,122 and Indiana stands next with $4,73 G. No other southern state except Georgia reaches the $3,000 mark. One has a valuation as low as $25 7. ? MANY MILOH COWS PERISH. When Lexington Stables Are Destroyed by Fire. Eighteen head of cattle, among them being some of the most valuable milch cows in that section, perished in a fire which destroyed the large barn and stables of Mrs. S. P. Wingard on the edge of Lexington, at five o'clock Wednesday morning. In ad3 it ion to the cattle burned, a large amount of food, including several hundred bushels of corn, two wagons, nil of the harness, bridles and farming implements on the place were also consumed. The horses and other stock, however, were saved by heroic work of the family. How the fire originated will probably never bo known, although many theories have been advanced, ji i.ie family has an enemy in the world it is not known, although it is thought that the fire was the work of an incendiary. When first discovered it was in the lower floor. The loss is estimated at $2,.r>00 with no insurance. It is a strange coincidence that that eighteen years ago a fire destroyed the barn and stables on the same place. YOUXG TRAMP IS KILLED. Was Making Tour of the World in Side Door Pullman. A special to the Savannah Press from Millen says Reckley Price, aged seventeen, who has been traveling over the United States with Howard Vendevoner, another boy about his ago, was killed by a train there last night.
