The Board Of Direetors Of the South
Carolina Monument Association desire
again to bring before.he people of the
State tins W55ifk in which they arc
engaged They have bought and paid
for most eligible site in Columbia for
the erection of the monument-that
commanding eminence 80 we'll known
as ''Taylor's Hiil." and have entered
into contract with an artist in Louis
vile. Kentucky, for the construction OF
the monument;4 the granite to be fur
nished from our own State. quarry, and
the marble from the famous quarries of
Oarrara. Italy, where the marble part of
the work will be executed. In April,
1874, the cornerstone of the monu-
ment will be laid, and then the Board
will feel that o large part Of their labor
OF love has been accomplished. There
remains, however, $4,000 more to be
raised before the work can be completed,
and it is earnestly hoped that this sum
will soon be made up, and this last
tribute paid 10 our honored dead and
the principles for which they died. The
women Of South Carolina, who have
assumed this sacred task, do not feel
that this work conflicts in any way with
the duty they owe to the widows and
orphans OF our fallen heroes; indeed,
the Monument Association is, in great
measure, composed of these bereaved
ones, and there is scarcely one member
to whom the Southern cause is not
doubly sacred from its having cost her
the life blood OF her dearest and best.
While, therefore, they feel it proud
privilege to assist the widow and orphan
OF the Confederate soldier, they know
that this ia privilege, in it's very nature
transitory, and they would, in the endur-
ing granite and marble, place on record,
before coming generations, their undy-
ing fidelity to the principles of South
Carolina in her best days. and their
gratitude to the men who died to main
tain them. Confidently, then, the Board
OF Directors appeal to the women of the
State to rally once more 10 their aid.
$500 from each District will give them
the required sum. Surely, for this
small sum, they will not appeal in vain.
The ladies Of Columbia will again
open bazaar, during the fair, in that
portion of the fair building allotted to
them by the courtesy of the officers Of
the South Carolina Agricultural and
Mechanical Association. Contributions
of any kind will be gratefully received,
and may be sent to either of the follow
ing Board of Directors: Mrs. William
Wallace. Mrs. John T. Darby, Mrs.
William Martin. Mrs. W. H. Gibbes,
Mrs. J. l.. Reynolds, Mrs. Geo. Howe,

Within the last four days several OF
the most prominent and useful citizens
OF Shreveport have fallen victims to The
epidemic. The population has beon
fearfully thinned ont by sickness and
death. They no longer have funerals.
The hearses, followed by one Or two
carriages. dash through the streets like
a section OF artillery in battle seeking
a position. Then a few more hearses
are driven up, the collins pushed into
the hearses and drawn xapidly to the
cemetery. This is the case even with
the most prominent citizens. 60

in the wagon, stained with blood, and
the clothing which Owens had worn as
the wagon first passed the house, was
found spattcred with blood in Mr..
Cheeks trunk, it having evidently been
exchanged for some Of the murdered
mans apparel. This confirmed sus-

AN ALTOONA LADY SEEKS HER DArGH.
The Pittsburgh ECeHinJ Telegraph, of Sat

story of young girls shame: Yesterday
an elderly lady, thoroughly respectable in
her appearance, and evidently in great
atfiiction, came to this city in search of her
daughter. She was conducted to !hc May
or's office and there stated that she lived in
Altoona. Some two or three weeks ago her
daughter, young girl of about eighteen
years, left home with the deliberate inten-
ton, it would appear, of entering upon n
life of disgrace. The mother found, at
length, that the girl had come to Pitts
burgh, and came here to find her, as stated
The police took the matter in hand, ard
stopping at a house of i'll repute on the hill,
and had been there almost ever since she
left home. The mother procured n carriage
and, accompanied by detective Wilmot,
proceeded to the place TO seek an interview
with the daughter. She found her child,
but had no interview with her. The girl

The broken hearted mother decided at

Help was summoned, and, as if she We're a

the carriage, and, with her mother weeping
beside her, was driven to the depot. There

RIGHT OK THE RECOID.-Now and then
rumor reaches the public ear that some
body, generally a resident of the rural dis
triCts, has been ''taken in and done for on
sewing machine, or some other labor-sa
ing inv ion In q few instances these di
honest lodges have been ventilatedthrough
the newspapers, one or two cases having re-
Gently been reported wherein a sewing ma
chine agent is said to have been granted the
privilege OF leaving machines at certain
houses until he would call for them, receiv-
ing in return what purpOrted TO be an ac-
acknowledgement of such fact, duly signed by
the prOprietors of such houses but what
afterward proved to be exemption notes,
payable within specified time. We say
stories of this kind have been told time and
again, but whether true or false it is not our
purpose now to inquire. We merely wish
to say that, if true, Mr.. NJ. l.. Brown, of this
place, agent for the renowned and unsur
paSSable Singer Sewing Machine, is not the
man who did the swindling. He has ma
chine that can and does recommend itself,
and he has come among us to make an hon
est living in an honest way, and would not
resort 20 any disreputablc lodges if a for
tune could be made in the operation. We
know these statements to be facts, and while
we can truthfully say, after an experience
OF several years in our own family, that the
Singer machine is without a superior, we ca n
just emphatically declare that Mr.. Brown
Is above and beyond mean or mercenary act
of any kind. He believes as we believe,
that no family should do without sewing
machine, and thus believing he offers. on the
most liberal TERMS Il machine that never has
and never will fail to give entire satisfac-
tion in every instance, and ii the parties
whom he sOliCitS do not see fit to purchase
that is the end of the transaction. He deals
fairly and sQUarely, and deserves to be dealt
with in like manner. Let him be encouraged.
