THE DAVIS STATUTE UNVAILED MONDAY. VAST CROWDS WITNESS THE CEREMONIES. General CJement 0. Evans, 0 f Geor- Gia, the principal Speaker—Gra phic Description of Monument. Richmond. Va., June 3.—The capi tal of Virginia today resumed the glory of the time when it was the capital of a nation 1 with an ambition that was world-wide. As the monu ment of Jefferson *Davis, the presi dent of the Confederate States of America, was unveiled men who had fought for that nation's lost cause stood with hair grayer than their old unifortns to hear the eulogy of their dead president and the princi ples he represented. “Not in hostility to others, not to Injure any section of the country, not even for our own pecuniary bene fit, but from the high and solemn motive of protecting the rights we Inherited and which it is our duty to transmit unshorn to our children.” In these, the words of Jefferson Davis spoken before the United States Senate on Juno 21, 18G1, was the cause of the Confederacy pre sented before the ex-soldiers of gray, the nmn who had sacrificed for that cause. These words of President Davis were inscribed on the monu ment that wa s unveiled, they were reproduced in the speech of the day, and found echoes in the breast of veterans who fought for States rights which they believed i n as a matter of right and failed to sustain in might* Children of Richmond, three thousand strong, had drawn the monument to its place through two miles of spectators, just as children of that city had drawn to its place In capitol square the monument of George Washington, the first pre sident of the United States of America, whom Virginia gave to her country. More happy still was the scene to day in which the Confederate vet erans were the spectators, the guests of honor at a reunion that was larger than many held in recent years. While their ranks have been thin ning, the veterans and their families have been growing richer, more pros perous than they had believed that they would ever be when the dark cloud of reconstructions had settled like a storm upon the fair Southland. And so they were able to return to this unveiling, which will go down In history as the memorial even In the story of the Confederacy as it lives i n the hearts of Dixie. Genera] Clement A. Evans, of Georgia, mad*, the principal address of the day. When the veil was drawn from the monument, eyes were lifted upward from the statute of Jefferson Davis to the figure that crowned the pillar in the center of the collonade. This i 8 the allegorical figure of a ma n known as “Vindlca- trix,” representing the spirit of the South. At the base of this pillar and on a pedestal five feet high is the bronze figure of Mr. Davis, eight feet In height. The inscription on the pedestal is “Jefferson Davis, Exponent of Con stitutional Principels. Defender of State Rights.” On each side of the pedestal are inscriptions, the one on the left reading: “As citizen, sol dier, statesman, he enhanced the glory, the fame of the United States. When his allegiance to that govern ment was terminated by his sorerign State, a 8 president of the Confed eracy, he exaulted his country before the nations.” On the right side of the pedstal is inscribed “With constancy and cour age unsurpassed he sustained the heavy burden laid upon him by the people. When their cause was lost, with dignity he met defeat, with for titude he met improsonment and suffering, with entire devotion he kept the faith." The sentiment of Jefferson Davis .expressed in the United States Sen ate that is quoted al>ove, will be in scribed on the arebitrade at the top of the collonade. A deep aid solemn hush prevailed over the great assembly as the beau ty of the gniup came upon them. The red and blue of flags, the music, the crodwd, th e galty, the Joy of meeting comrades hand prevailed In the encampment of old veterans un til this time but in the presence of this message of grief and preserved In stone and bronze under the imagi nation of as master hand, the old soldiers remembered the old South, the comrades who fell before the guns in that mad brav e contest for what they believed the right. There were many things that had reminded the old soldiers of the early days of their enlistment that seem ed barely forty-seven years in the past. On the wall 8 of the Jefferson Hotel, Jn the hulls of the Confeder ates, a calendar which reproduced the flag of every State in ttu Con federacy was hung. At the top of this emblem was th e flag of G-orgla of blue with the s^al of the State upon it in white. The state Mutual Life Insurance Compapy of Rc|nie, Ga , issued the s -ries and gave this conspicuous position In the wreath of patriotic emblems to its own State. The central flag was the Confed erate flag officially endorsed by the government of the Confederate States of America. Many of the flags were not in existence to bo copied from when this Southern company, which ha 8 for its field the Southern Suites, begun the search for flags to reproduce from. But from descrip tions the entire list was made out and the sheet of flags is large enough for every soldier to find on it the one under which he enlisted—the palm tree of South Carolina upon blue, surmounted by the crescent; North Carolina’s flag giving dates of May 20, 1775 and April 12, 177G, the dates upon which the State declared its independence of England, while there waved at the end two bars, one white, the other blue, and the field held a single whit e star; Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, Louisiana, Ten nessee, Kentucky, Arkansas, Texas, Missouri and Virginia—the beautiful flags were presented l n the beauty of color such as they carried before the soil of battle sanctified them. The reunion has been one of the most notable ever held and upon its last notes being sounded the soldiers will spread over the battlefields they left i n the 60’s, will visit the graves of old comrades and resume the pleasures of camp life In reminis cence. “I want to show you the tree be hind which I was Introduced to mus ketry,” a gray-haired wit told another upon asking his company to a nearby region. The scenes have changed. On cross roads where the soldiers saw graves and desolated cottages, there have sprung un happy villages. The fields of uncultivated land over which they tramped wearily now hear the promise of early fruitage of grain and cotton. The little towns that were so gray and desolate at the close of the war between the States ar*» now happy little cities with the buzz of a lifo that has left the cloud of war far behind, though in every Virginia hamlet, at. every cross roads, l n the heart of every son and daughter of the Old Dominion, is carried the sacre,] memories of the struggle that the old soldiers might think, superficially, was told of only by the scars and wounds they bear upon theip bodies. The soldiers will separate, happier for the reunion, and march over old fields in boyish fashion for all their feeling of age. They have been given In Virginia the weloo no of their lives, and go home feeling again that, they played an Important part in the world’s history, letter for the honor that has been paid them, and with a happy memory for vears to come. An Audacious Fool. The function of the king’s fool in mediaeval times was in a measure an important one, and he who filled the post had often very great, influence with his sovereign. Perhaps the brightest and most astute of fools was Triboulet, the favorite jester of Francis I. It was reported that his majesty, who was of a very generous nature, had acceded to a request of Charles V., emperor of Germany, that he might not pass through France on his way to the Netherlands. Putting aside all recollection of what he had suffered a t the emperor’s hands while a captive In Spain, Francis was pre paring to receive Charles with much ceremony and splendor. Observing on e morning that Triboulet was scribbling industriously upon a bit of paper, Francis inquired what he was loing. ' *T have just added the name of Emperor Charles of Germany to my list of fools,” Answered the jester, “a sovereign who is committing th* incredible folly of instrustlng him self to you by passing through your kingdom.” '‘FY»Hr? How If I should let him pass safely?” ‘Then I shall substitute your name for his,” was the audacious retort of the fool. The Cast-Off Baby. (Chicago Tribune.) • The stork had been a recent visit or to the home of Mrs. Smith, who already was the mother of a year- old baby boy. A chance meeting In the comer market was the opportu nity for Mrs. Smith’s neighbor, Mts. Jones to break the news to her friend Mrs. Brown. Dorothy Jones, five years old. paused In her task of arranging the covers about her new doll. She had experienced difficulty recently in finding in the person of a less for tunate neighbor girl a mother for a doll with a broken nose and one arm that had been her former favor ite and for which there was no room In he r diminutive establishment when the new doll came. She pulled at her mother’s skirts inquiringly. ‘ M'amma,” she asked, “did you say Mrs. Smith had a new bkby?” “Yes dearie, a brand new baby,” answered the mother. “Well mamma,” came the unsatis fied query, “what's she going to do with her old one?" A NEWSY LETTER FROM WILKINSVILLE. MOVEMENTS OF THE PEOPLE OF LOWER CHEROKEE. Argo Red Salmon' readily adapts itself to the requirements of break- luncheon, dinner, o r supper, and givi s seasonable variety to every meal. June 4-7. —Bargains In mattings, rugs and cp.rpets, June 7th and 8th at Carroll & Byers’. Personal Paragraphs Concerning Pop ular People and Short Items of that Section. WMblnsville, June 1.—Now that The Ledge has tried the experiment and been so absolutely successful in getting out a daily paper, it ought to continue such publication. Com ing as it does upon the heels of a destructive fire, and not missing a single issue shows the energy, pluck and activity of its management. When the report first reached us that The Ledger was so badly dam aged by the fl re that it would neces sarily have to suspend - publication until such damage was repaired, we replied that unless the “get up,” pluck and enegry of Ed. H. DeCamp has been completely destroyed, we should look for the regular appar- ance of his paper. We admit, how ever. it was somewhat of a dlsap- IKdntment. in that, Instead of a semi weekly as before. Lo and behold It comes out a daily paper. Gaffney and Cherokee county can well afford to keep up a dally paper, and It ought to have it. We thank the several correspond ents of the paper for their kindly re ference to our communications to the paper. Would that we could only think ourself and views deserv ing the same. However, we appre ciate it none the less. The only danger is it may give us “the big head.” During our recent visit to York countv we were sorry to find the lit tle orphan boy of Mr. and Mrs. Dag- nall sick. He is suffering with a severe bronchial trouble wlileh Is giving his god-parents great uneasi ness. They aro doing and have done all in their power for him and through the mercy of an overruling Providence, the skillful treatment, of Dr. W. A. Hood and their careful nursing, he has entirely recovered from the burn he received several weeks ago which was thought at one time would put an end to Ms life. With the exception of the little finger on his left hand there Is no trace of the injury now to be seen. In the carefully prepared list of the dead soldiers burled at. TTnlty church, which appeared in The Led ger this week, we can make no cor rections unless it be that of Wyatt Neal who wo are satisfied was buried at Providence church in this county. It may he. however, that the name of Younger W. Neai has been omit ted and Wyatt substituted In its place. If we are not again mistaken the name of Tom Arrowood belongs to the Ust, and .las. Jackson should have been Joe Jackson. We have known the place from our earliest recollection and the only ghost we ever saw (or heard, rather) was at old Unity graveyard onp night about. IP o’clock while coming home from Whitesides’ mill on Clark’s fork with a string of fish which with Bill Hardin, the mlllej;, we had caught that evening. Fop a long time Unity graveyard was considered the rendezvous of ghosts, haunts and hobgoblins and many are the grewsum tales told by advertising. During this relgme of superstition Chess McKinney, on a wager of $5 with Tom Berry, went one night and stuck a sword by the headston* of Mr. Abram Smith. It was a test of great physical courage, hut Chess was equal to the occasion. Next morning Tom Berry forked over the cash. A great terror, among the super- stitiously Inclined, was “Jack the Sailor," whose right name was John Gibson. “Jack" had been a sailor. He knew every Important nort along the Atlantic coast as well as Eng land, and had miraculously escaped f’om many wrecks on the high sea. He followed well digging In this country. Hp belonged t 0 that class of Roman Catholic Irish which en tertained ridiculous Ideas as to the state of mankind after death. He died at Mr. Billy c. Brown’s in this county (then Union) and was burled at Unity and his grav<» was always a terror to the weakminded and nervous. These reminiscences of places, times and people may ho of some Interest to those who live In this section or to those more or less acquainted with them. The people of Unity have changed in many respects from those of whom we have been speaking and a better order of things exist. Your worthy townsman, Rey. \y. T. Thomp son, is pastor of the church. He has large congregations and Is much I'ked by his people. i n ye olden ^mes we hav fl seen some rousing times at old TTnlty. When “Blue Water” and “The Nation” would turn out In masses at big meetings they would make things lively m their way. It equalled any thin^ ever witnessed by Major Jones In his Georgia scenes: At one time It was said that one of the preachers pray* d that a cer tain young la*ly in the neighborhood might he made to shed tears as big as “hois Hupleg.’’ Notwithstanding the scarcity of labor fanners are well up wjth their work and were r-ady or rain. Most of the cotton has been chopped out and corn thinned to a stand. Mr. James G. Garner is busy grinding at the Thomson mills. These mills are in good running order and he makes a fine specimen of meal. The people of Salem have about made up the necessary amount to Ret a preacher for the rest of this year. Rev. ,T. Lee Oates, of the Hickory Grove a. R. Presbyterian church will preach at Salem at 3:20 o’clock p. m. on the second Sabbath in June. The public is accorded a welcomp to attend the services The graveyard fence at Salem is badly in need of a coat of paint just now and we hone those who feel an interest in it will not, suffer it to he neglected much longer. It’s being badly damaged. The Thomson mill bridge is also needing some repair on the banisters as well a 8 a now cover, all of which we hope our worthy county super visor will look after soon. Our public roads are much im proved by the late working given them by the chaingang. A new flat, will soon be needed at Howell’s ferry. The present one Is not long enough or strotgi enough for the Immense travel going that way. Mr. James G. Gamer Is planting a late watermellon patch. He and Mr. Morgan Millwood head the list In this Industry. Mr. Sam Strain, who was off mail duty Thursday, tried bis buggy horse to the plow and she did splendidly. Mr. T. J. Estes, one of our pro gressive farmers, Is trying the Wil liamson plan raising corti. Mr. Charley Foster I 8 not in favor of the plan—especially the stunting process. He thinks when once stunted it will stay stunted. Messrs, t. Jeff Hughes and Joe Este s attended the unveiling of the Confederate monument nt Union last Saturday. Joe reports what a fine time they had and we know they did. When Mr. Hughes can’t enjoy himself on such occasions it's not very enjoyable. The North Pacolct Interdenomina tional Sunday School Convention will meet. at. Draytonville church on the fourth Sabbath in June—the 23rd at 10:2d o’clock, a. m. This morning we held an election to determine which of the young ladies—students at Limestone Col lege—whose pictures appeared in Tuesday’s issue of The Ledger, was the prettiest. Twelve votes were cast of which Miss Wilma Gaffney received four, Miss Mario Boylston two, Miss Jessie Lipscomb two, Miss Mis s Mjacie McCarley two, Miss Al ma G. Free two. But it was unanimously decided that they were all pretty girls—not an ugly one in the entire group of twenty-seven. J. L. S. THE COTTON CROPS DISCOURAGING. PRESIDENT SMITH GIVES OUT INTERESTING SYNOPSIS. State Presidents Very Discouraging in Thei r Reports prom All Sections of the Great Cotton Belt. Columbia, June 2.—President E. D. Smith, of the cotton association to day gave out nn interesting synopsis of reports of State presidents. The Texas report is delightfully dis couraging. .Mr. Smith's statement follows: Having written to the State presi dents a 8 to the condition of the crop and the outlook, I want to give to the public a few replied that have com e to me from men whose stand- in«- in their community attests their integrity; therefore, what they say may be relied upon. Sorry Outlook in Texas. “From Henderson, Texas, J. G. Hickey, president of the First Na- tioniti Hank, writes under date of Mlay 27th. as follows; ‘The outlook in Texas is sorry indeed for cotton. East Texas has reduced her acreage fully forty per cent, and many farm ers are still plowing up cotton and planting pea s and corn; many have planted three times and still have a sorry stand. The boll weevil is here in great numbers, and many farmers have no hopes of making any cotton at all. So you can see why they are oreranization along the line of organ ization including every business in terest, because every business inter est is to be benefitted by our success and adversely affected by our fail ure.” WILSON-DAVIS. Marriage 0 f On e 0 f Gaffney's Most Charminq Young Ladies. Miss Lucy Wilson and Mr. Shelby L. Davis, of Manning, were married at the home of the bride’s parents yesterday morning by Rev. S. B. Harper. It was a quiet home mar riage. Mr. Davis is a promising young business man of Manning. The bride is on e of the most popu lar and attractive young ladies of this city. She numbers her friends bv the score in both the higher social circles and the more humble walks of life. She i s th e daughter of Rev. and Mrs. j. B. Wilson, and lias won many admirers by her ami able disposition and her deeds of love and charity. She will be miss ed by the people of the entire com munity. The newly wedded couple left on No. 39 for a short bridal trip. A little later they will go to the James town exposition. The • Ledger begs permission to add its felicitations to those of the many friends of the happy young couple. Tillman’s Cold Cure. (Charlotte Observer) Senator Tillman, of South Carolina, has what he claims to he a sur e cure for colds, which Is thus given: Get plenty of hot water, just as hot as you can stand It, and soak your feet. See that you get into bed immediate ly after soaking your feet and cover up well, Idst you become chilled. The other Ingredients you can have served in bed. Hav e some real hot re-planting in something else. Mid-1 water and cup up three lemons and die Texas—the black land district—; put them into the water. Next yotf has nearly all been re-plautod, and get a good tumbler of rye whiskey the crop will be necessarily late, I and place your hat On the bed post. Editor Moore Visits Cherokee. Editor Moore, of the Greer Oliserv- er, was in the city last week and on his return home writes as follows concerning Cherokee; We were over in Cherokee this week and had the pleasure of talk ing with some of hep leading citizens about the benefits of smaller coun ties. Every one we interviewed spoke In highest praise of smaller counties. They ar e proud of Chero kee’s record, who some ten years ago seceded from Spartanburg, Union and Yorb, and set up a county gov ernment of Its own. Cherokee Is flourishing as she never could have done under the old counties. Taxes are no higher than the old counties, lands have Increased In value, roads and schools are being Improved, and Cherokee county under the wise, economic, and progressive adminis tration of her county officials, might ily aided by the sympathy and co operation of her stalwart yeomanry Is marching grandly forward. Cher okee citizens are thoroughly satis fied that they made no wrong step when they separated from old coun ties. Not one citizen in Cherokee would vote to go back into th« old counties again. Cherokee has suc ceeded, splendidly succeeded. What Cherokee has done Highland can do. A Negp 0 Burglar Killed. Charleston, June 2.—A dispatch from Clinton says: John MIcMorrls, colored, was shot and billed in the house of Rhett Crawford this morning. The negro entered the place with a key, prob ably having seen Crawford and family start out for church. Two m<* n on watch confronted him and he opened fire, hut was killed by John Boyd.

Jun e 4-7. —Try Dr. Pierce's wheat celery food at Bramlett's. flake talked with some farmers from Ellis county last Thursday and they told me they had to plant the. second time, and are not done planting yet. Fur ther west, in Mitchell, Coleman, Tay lor and Tom Green, and that whole section, have had no rai n since De cember, and consequently could not plant corn nor cotton. If they make any in that section it is yet to be planted. South Texas was forced to replant, and, as a consequence, the crop Is late with much complaint of boll weevil. In my section they— the boll weevil—are puncturing the squares on all early cotton. Farmers told me Saturday that on early plant ing they find three or four to the stalk. So the general outlook in Texas Is really bad.’ May Rais e Half Croos. “T. C. Long, from Jackson, Ten nessee, unde r date of May 28th writeg in part as follows: The out look for a cotton crop in Texas is extremely bad. The entire crop was planted over, and it is not yet up. Under very favorable conditions, we may raise a half crop. This morning mercury down to 40 degrees, and frost idsible. You can draw your own conclusion.’ “These two letters are In keeping with those from Mississippi, Arkan sas. Louisiana and Alabama. South Carolina, North Carolina and a por tion of Georgia seem to be the best off, while the outlook in these States is certainly below anythin^ like an average crop. The public will bear in mind that this is th e l*t of June. And since the writing of these let ters quoted, torrential rains have covered the entire cotton belt. We have been struggling for three years to get the situation in our hands. It seems as If Providence has given ua the opportunity to realize our hope. From the present outlook and from the principles involved, It does seem as if the farmers and merchants would refrain from selling cotton for fall delivery at a price which neither the outlook of a crop nor the present pric e of the manufactured goods war rants. So far as the Southern Cot ton Aassociation in it* relation to the cotton of the world Is concerned the majority of us do not propose to take advantage of a cotton famine and he disastrous scarcity of cotton to force the price to unwarranted heights; no more than we propose when seasons are propitious and the supply overboundant to allow the price to be disastrously depressed. As I have often said before, I want this to be a square deal, i want our share of the profits that we are en titled to in being the source of sup ply for the world’s fibre. Orangeburg |n Lina. “Yesterday I was at St. Matthews, and found that their warehouse is practically comepleted, and Orange burg county is still in line, doing her duty. On August 6th, they will have a meeting of all the counties to go into the question of preparing for the coming crop In detail. I shall be present at this meeting, and hope every farmer in Orangeburg county and every business ma n that can pos sibly be present will be there so that we can start unitedly in our co operation as to the progress of our work. “We have on hand a number of boobs of membership certificates, hearing the seal of the association, and gotten up in attractive form, which I hope the presilents of the different coutnleg will simply them selves with, so as to furnish each member paying his dues a certificate, and keeping a list of their names. “I hope every county in the State will continue an active compaign of Then drink until you can see two hats. You may get, a little sweat, but when you wake up in the morn ing, you will fee] like a two-year-old. The Montgomery Advertiser sayi U|at if it. might he permitted to add a line to this it would be to pay that when you have reached the two-hat condition you won’t know’ or care whether you have a cold or anything else. And if The Observer might b« permitted to add a few lines it would be to say that if you go to sleep with you feet blistered, with all that hot w-ater in you. and loaded to the hack teeth, you will throw the cover off jn fifteen minutes, sleep all night without any bed clothes on you, and wake next morning not able to speak above a whisper and with a head on you that f^els like a flour barrel. Is Senator Tillman wrong about everything? No Excuse. The judge had his patience sorely tried by lawyers who wished to talk and by men who tried to evade jury service. So when the puzzled little German, who had been accepted by both sides, jumped tip the judge was exasperated. “Shude!” cried the German. “Wlhat is it?” demanded the judge. “I think I like to go home to my wife.” said the German. “You can’t,” retorted the Judge. "Sit down.” "But, shudge,” persisted the Ger man. “I don’t think I make a good shnrer.” “Your’re the best in the box.” said the Judge. “Sit down.” “But, shudge.”, persisted the little Hkh^* 11, 1 d0n t speak good Bn ** “Yon don’t have to speak any at all.” said the judge. “Sit down.” The little German pointed to the lawyers to make his last desperate plea. “Shudge,” he said, "I can’t make noddlngs of what these fellow* say.” It web the Judge’s chance to get ere n for many annoyances. “Neither cgn any one else,” he said. »sit down.” With a Bigh the little German sat down.
