If this be done by the legislature at this session it will be in addition to what has already been asked by the county commissioners in their estimate of county expenses upon which the legisla| ture bases the levy for each county embraced in the supply and appropriation bill.

Desire to PlaGe one in Statunry Hail, Washington, D. C. T? the Editor of Union Times: . My Dear Sir:?Wc, the undersigned, representing the Kings Mountain Chapter D. A. It., Yorkville, S. C., wish to call your attention and that of your readers to i work which we beg your cordial help and cooperation. It lias long been a source of regret and mortification that South Carolina has no ep resen tation in the National Statuary Ilall of the capitol at Washington. This statuary room vas the old hall of representatives, t was the scene of the debates of Webster and Clay, Adams, Calloun and others whose names are ndelibly associated with the history )f congress. In 1801, at the suggestion of Senator Morrill, of Vermont, the room was set apart as a National Statuary Hall, to which <nr>l> Sitr.*.. 1 ll? ??v/i? ?.wvtvy o*;iivi uir i-uigirs >f two of her chosen sons in marble )r bronze to be placed permanently lere. No South Carolinian ever dews those stately statues erected >y practically all the states of the inion in memory of their "chosen >ons" without wondering why our nvn place has been so long empty, ind wishing that we too could point ivith pride to a representative occupying the space allotted to South Carolina. The Kings Mountain jhnpter is, desirous of starting a novemcnt to remedy this long standing neglect. We have vritten to every woman's organization in the State, askng them to join us in petitioning :he Legislature to appropriate at he present session the sum of wenty five thousand dollars (S'25,XK)) for the purpose of erecting a statue of John C. Calhoun in the National Statuary Hall in Washingson. We regard Calhoun as South Carolina's most representative man; ic was for forty years the most conspicuous and influential figure in lational politics; he was Represcnativc, Senator, Secretary of War, secretary of State and Vice-l'resilent. We do hope that you will jive us your support and help in his work. We wish through your paper to appeal to every South Car)linian, man and woman, to honor .his draft" upon your patriotism, iiid bog them to respond to the effort we are making to have our booved State take her rightful place n the Halls of the Nation. We shall ho exceedingly obliged if you kvill give this letter a place in the xilumns of your paper. Very respectfully yours, Mrs. Virginia Mason Bratton, Miss Maggie A. Gist, Miss Leslie I). Witherspoon, Mrs. G. H. O'Leary, Mrs. Walter B. Moore, Regent. [A bust of marble, bronze or day would be a sufficient statue of Dalhoun and fill the niche allotted ;o South Carolina in the statuary mil. We fear the ladies have their rights too high, and would suggest v more modest demand upon the patriotism and generosity of our representatives in the general assembly just at this time.?En.l PRESENTMENT OF GRAND JURY. ro His Honor, R.
