trouble, DIR. j. w. Parker, President Of
the Board of Directors of Elmwood Gem
etery, kindly came forward and offered
them the crest of the hill which crowns
the entrance to the cemetery. Moving
the foundation and laying it on this lat
ter spot cost them the sum of 1886.
The marble portion of the monument
was made at Carrara, Italy. and it was
brought 10 Columbia in September, 1875.
BY the terms Of the contract, Mcssrs.
Mudoon, Walton g. Co. were to be paid
$1,000 when the base was put up, and the
whole price, 0,000, was to be paid when
the monument reached Columbia. But
the Association not having raised that
sum- the merely received the boxes, in
surcd the monument for its full value,
and had it carefully stored away without
opening it even for inspection till they
could honestly claim it free from debt
though the contractors generously de-
Quoted 81 200 from the original price and
offered to put up the monument and wait
till the Association could raise the money.
The monument was stored in the prem
iscs of Mr.. lIowie, 10 whom they had to
pay $l3j for storage. The insurance cos.
them $20l. When the change from Radi-
cal to Democratic rule occurred in the
State government, the Association began
to hope that they might erect the m0nu-
ment in the State House grounds, and at
the session Of the Legislature for 1878,
they sent petition to that body asking
permission to do 80. This was not only
unanimously and cordially granted, but
they passed an act directing the Secretary
of State to advance in every way the in
tcrests Of the Association. a large num-
Der of the members moreover contributed
one days pay to aid them. In 1878 the
Legislature passed nn act approprinting
5000 to help pay for the renova! Of the
monument to the State House grounds.
Again many Of the members contributed
one days pay. Since that time the work
has gone on rapidly and unintcrruptedly
until now this beautiful memorial stands
complete and consecrated to its holy pur-
pose. 1t is n source of great qualification
that there has never been ii drop of in
toxicating liquor to aid in paving for it,
nor has there even been rattle for that
purpose by the sanction Of the Board Of
Directors. No means has ever been used
TO raise money for it that tho most scru-
pulous church man or religious person
could object to. The ladies will shortly
publish correct statement showing from
whom the money was received and how
every cent was expended. The follow
ing summary shows the gross amount re.
