A Letter from Congressman Stokes in Reference to the Matter. H oe s s OF REPR?SENTATIVES, U. S. WASBIKGTOX, D. C., March 6, 1896. Mr. Editor : Dear Sir: I send you to-day under sep? arate cover a copy of the Bill introduced to provide a monument to General Sumter. I delayed somewhat in hope of action on my suggestion that some local action be takeu. It is not too late yet, however. If I could have some resolution? by a public meeting, a local committee to co-operate, and the tender of a site, the case could be much more strongly presented to the committee. I won ld have preferred a local committee to co-operate with ibe Secretary of War. It action is taken in this direction with promptness, *I j can so amend the bill before it leaves the committee, makiog the local committee and the Secretary of War a commission for the purpose of the bill. This is the customary practice in such cases, and it will enhance our chances of success to make our efforts conform to the practice. Unless some local interest is manifested in a tangible form, the omission may be con? strued to iodieate indifference With earnest co-operation and active effort there is no reason why the memory of this dis? tinguished South Carolinian may not be honored in a substantial and adequate man? ner. Very truly, J. W. STOKES. A Bill io Provide for the Erection of a Monti ment io General Thomas Sumter. Be it enacted by the Seor.te and House of Representatives of the Uoited States of America in Congress assembled, That the Secretary of War be, and he is hereby, authorized to contract for and secure the erection of a monument in the city of Sumter, South Carolina, to the memory of General Thomas Sumter, a general in the Colonial Army from the State aforesaid du? ring the Revolutionary war; and for this purpose the sum of ten thousand dollars is hereby appropriated out of any moreys in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated. -^?fr". ? ? . -??to Not to be Trifi?d "With.
