Ex Mayor Fickeo paid eloquent trib? ute to the memory of the eider Tim rods, ?he grandfather and father cf the poet Bishop Capers pronounced the ben edie iou Tbe memorial is a haodsome but unpretentious monument The sim , plicity of the memorial accords with tbe quiet, retiriog and modest life of Tim rod. Tbe base and pedestal are cf Winnsboro granite Tbe base is five feet fquare, and the pedestal and (be , base measure six feet in height, The top of the pedestal is twenty inches square, on which rests the heroic siza breeze bust of Timrod The bust is three feet high and weighs about 150 pounds. It is a striking likeness cf the poet The bust was designed by Sculptor Edward V. Valentine, of Rich? mond, Va., from a painting owned by Capt. Courtenay. The bust was cast by the Henry Bonnard Bronza Co, of New York. The stooe work was done at the Charleston yards of Mr. Thomas H Reynolds, who also set the bust The memorial is a worthy sod fitting mark to tbe memory of the South Car? olina poet, and too much credit cannot be given to the memorial association for its devoted labors in the erection of the memorial association for its devoted labors io the erection of the monument. The Timrod Memorial association was organized io November, 1898, the ob? ject beiog the restoration of general oiroulatioo throughout the Uoited States of the charming poems of the South Carolina poet aod the erection of a worthy public memorial from the reali zatico of the sale of this authorized edition Ic was determined to issue 4,000 copies and to retail these books at ?1 50 a copy. Almost the entire issue was subscribed for and a sum of money was realized sufficient to pay for the monument which was unveiled this afternoon and the necessary expenses attending the uoveiiiDg exercises A balaooe has beeo left which the asso? ciation will put to use io caring for the burial lot of the Timrod family in Trinity church yard at Columbia Io this lot lie the remains cf the poet, bis mother and sister. Tbe lot bas not been properly cared for a?d the needed attention wili now be provided by the Memorial associatioo, and probably a tablet of some kind may be erected on the lot.

State Geologist Appointed. Columbia, April 30 -Gov Mc Sweeney bas appointed Mr Earle Sloan of Charleston to the position of State geologist The State baa been very fortunate in securing tbe services of one so well equipped as Mr Sloan at the reasonable palary that the State felt able to provide. Mr Sloan has been commissioner of minr;s in Colorado, and twice served on the government geological survey, and was offered the position of chief of the southernly division of the western survey. Ile has served as engineer for several successful companies and recently as chief en? gineer of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company Since 1893 he bas operated as a consulting geologist and mining engineer, and in that capacity has had a great deal of experience The new State geol? ogist is veiy warmly endorsed A great many letters from professors and former employes, have been re ceived by Gov Mcsweeney urging his appointment, but among the most important, and those to which, per haps, most weight ia to be attached, are from government geologists.

Washington, May 1 -One of the most fascinating occupations of today in this city is the study of the vary ing reports on th* conditions obtain ing in Porto Rico, as they follow each other in bewildering iteration One day comes a story that the island ie on the verge of starvation, that the people are emigrating by tens of thousands, and that thiDgs generally are about as bad as they can be ; the next day comes the reverse picture, declaring that the island is prosper? ous everybody is contented except a few land owners who object to be ing taxed, there is no starvation, and the people are not emigrating Unfortunately, these latter 3tories come only from the officers of the car? pet bag government, while the re ports of distress come from all classes of people About a month ago. for instance, the American Missionary Association sent a deputation to Porto Rico tc investigate the condition thus far established there by Americans, and the opportunities for its future development This deputation con si8ted of Rev. Dr Beard, senior secretary of the association, and Rev E S. Tead, a member of the execn tive committee Their report of the trip which has been published paints the situation in very black colors Promptly on its publication, how? ever, comes a statement emanating from the War Department, stating that there bas been "a wonderful im? provement in the condition of labor in Porto Rico since the island came under American control, to which the efforts of the insular government have contributed ia a large degree by removing all personal taxes from the laborers, and abolishing the op pres8ive consumers' taxes on food and articles of necessity " "The change of the money stand? ard/' continues Secretary Root's young mao, "which took place last August, has benefited labor.' Io many instances laborers are now re? ceiving in gold what they formerly had in silver Thousands of laborers in the coffee districts have been given employment on the public roads now in process of construction indirect? ly labor bas been benefited by the re moval of export taxes OD sugar, coffee, and tobacco, and by the re peal of the law levying royal dues and taxes on agricultural implements imported. The better condition is shown more by the personal appear ance of the laborers tban by improve? ment in their homes and surround ings " All this is very beautiful and might supply balm to the hearts of the an-x ions bad not a delegation of repre sentative Porto Ricans broken in upon the mellow dream and declared the pictures were to an extent imaginative The pangs of hunger are still acute, the desolation remains very much in evidence, and the idle are not so much io demand as would be inferred from the pictures The facts in the matter "no feHow seems abie to find out " But ia in 8tructive to note that Governor Ailen first accepted office "antil order ahull have beeu restored.'' and as be has recalled his resignation, his conduct seems to lend weight to those who assert that order and prosperity are still a iong way off in the pretty little isle. * * * The history of North America pro? perly began on May IS. 160?, when Captain John Smith's party of adven? turers landed at Jamestown Island, near the mouth of James River, Virginia, and there established the first permanent English settlement in. America The 300th anniversary of that event will occur six years heuce, and President Tyler of William and Mary College and other citizens have secured the passage of a resolution by the general assembly of Virginia asking the President and Congress of the United States to make arrange? ments for celebrating it Pension Fund Tied Up.

T&e Indian Knew What He- Wiratefi and Where-to Get lt. Some Indians from Buffalo- Bili's Wild West, arrayed in. bright colored blankets and an exceptional amount of face paint, were taking, in the sights of the city one afternoon. They stroll? ed down "Walnut street, single file, and, headed by a buck who now and- then gave a grunt of satisfaction when, some- j thing that pleased him caught his eye, they-halted in front of a drugstore and gazed at the window display f>or 8 moment. Then the band filed into-the establishment and began to- loot around. The clerk thought the pince wa** go? ing to be besieged and that he was like? ly to-lose his scaip, but when the-"big chief,"" who acted as spokesman; ad? dressed him with the customary Indian greeting of "How!" the clerk, regained his composure enough to ask the- indi? an what be wanted. "Heap smell," was the reply. Directed by the Indian's finger io a showcase, the clerk produced a baa: of soap; The brave took it gingerly, re? moved the wrapper, smelled it and bit into the- toothsome looking- ariiele. With a deep grunt of displeasure he handed rt back to the drug clerk. With a disgusted look he remarked. "Heap smelir The clerk began to tremble,- and7 the Indian pointed to a perfume bottle in the showcase. The bottle of peirfume was handed to him. The Indian* held it in both bands for a moment, closely scrutinizing it. He slowly removed the stopper, closely watching it as if he expected it to explode, and took a long sniff at the bottle, gave a grunt of satisfaction, handed the clerk- some money and led his band of braves out of the store, to the delight of.the fright? ened clerk, who had not been in the practice of waiting on real Indians. Kansas City Journal. ANECDOTES OF FORREST. Why the Confederate Lea?er Declin? ed to Correct His Spellings "General Forrest of the Confederate army," said an ex-Confederate officer, "was a military genius of the first rank. Without previous-training or any developed taste in that direetton he went into the army from a place as overseer and attained, commanding rank absolutely by merit Rough and uncouth at first, he became in later life a courtly gentleman, whom it was a pleasure to meet and- to knew. I re? member on one occasion some time aft? er the war coming, up the Potomac with him I wanted to- introduce a young woman who was under my es? cort He said he was flattered by the request, but that he could not meet her unless she kisew perfectly well who he was and that he WAS not held in high esteem by the northern people chiefly on account of the Fort Pillow affair. I assured him that she was ful? ly apprised of his record, anti then he went with rae to meet her. and she told me later she had never met a more at? tractive m-sn. "Earlier in his career -that ls. be? fore he bad learned to spell-he was asked by a young lady to put his auto? graph in her album. Ile wrote his name as requested and under lt his title, 'ma? jor general of calvary.' as he spelled it The lady cnlled his attention to it in a j very delicate way. and he looked at it a moment, and with a full conscious? ness that he was lacking in that regard and with a beautiful and scarcely to be expected humility he said. 'Let it stand to show how ignorant General Forrest ls.' There are not many men who would have done that. I imagine, and it was the little things that showed the man's true greatness."-New York Sun. Rogues are always found out in some way. Whoever is a wolf will act as a woif; that ls the most certain of all things.-Fontaine.
