Bishop Capers pronounced the ben
edie iou

unpretentious monument The sim

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

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.

: Conditions in Pwto Rice,
Carpet Baggers Say it is Pros?
perous-Natives Say Starva?
tion Prevails.
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.

! 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

establishment and began to- loot
around.

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

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

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.
