The Hamton Monument.
The fund for the Hampton monoj
mrnt is but slowly increasing and
many counties have made a deplorable
showing, as i3 seen by the accompanyJ
ing list. The $20,000 appropriated br
the legislature has now become available
for use and according to the testimony
of sculptors a very handsom*
| design can be obtained for the sum it
is proposed to pay. Mr. Charles Frederick
Niehaus and Mr. F. Wellington:
Ruekstuhl, both sculptors of widest
renown, who have done many statues
of Southern men. have shown to th?
commission models of their work now:
standing. No one has yet been selected
to make the Hampton statue.
The statue will take three years to
complete when once begun.
It is said that one reason why the
collection of funds for the Hampton
monument has not been carried on
more successfuly is because there is
not somebody to push it in every other
county as there was in Darlington:
and in Sumter, where the required
amount was raised in a day. In a
great many counties funds are being
raised for the erection of Confederate
monuments locally and the people
of those counties would contribute
with the same liberality to the Hampton
monument if there was an organizer
in such county to present the subscription
list. It is not a question of
indifference, but a matter of a lack of
leadership.?Columbia State. J ''

uestoryed by fire Sunday morning
about 2:30 o'clock. The fire department
responded, but could be of no effective ^ .

when the flames were discovered. The
cause is unknown. Mr. Fincher estimates
his loss at $1,500, on which there
was no insurance. The building was *
owned by Mr. A. S. Hand and was insured
for $400.

reward of $100 has been offered for
Wakefield's arrest by the friends of

t
cently constructed at Glendale waa
wrecked Tuesday night by the walls

in it, none of which, however,
was damaged. It will necessitate, perhaps.
rebuilding of the entire stnuv
ture and the loss will be heavy.
