General Meigs SAID: "One afternoon, In

which has the highest arch in the country,

and the tablet bearing the name OF Jefferson

that such distinction was too great ia

DAVIS AND THE CAPITOL DOME.
jefferson Davis had the cap on the pres
ent statue Of freedom on the dome OF the
Capitol changed from the original design
rs created by the sculptor, Crawford. me
original design was the liberty cap. but Mr..
Davis. who was then Secretary OF war. IN
fsJ6. when the design was submitted by the
SCULPTOR made objections 10 the cap. as 1T
was the symbol Of the freed slaves OF
tbe Greeks. He sent letter TO Cap
tain NJ. {. Meigs. the officer who al
the time was in charge of the capiiol
extension Mr. Davis preferred helmet
and the design was changed IN accordanc,
with his wish. This fact at the time created
much talk. and many said Mr.. Davis was
opposed TO the Liberty Cap bein. placed on
the Capitol. The. following letter explains
Mr.. Davis position in the matter. IL =

We Want Money !!

Those indebted to US are again
urged to make an effort to pay us.
We are sadly in need of money to
pay our debts, to carry on our bust
ness and to provide for our family.
About 800 persons in this county are
indebted to us in sums ranging from
81. to $500, and number of them
have become entirely indifferent as
to our needs or their obligation. All
we ask of you is to do unto US as you
would have US do unto you. Attend
to this matter at once. DON'T put it
off and say that what little you owe
won't amount to much, but send
what you owe, or at least part of it.
We are not making this appeal be-
cause it is customary about this time
of year, bat because we need what is
coming to us, and there is no good
reason that we should not have what
is ours.
R@~ Very likely some of our pa
irons are getting tired of seeing the
above notice, but we feel certain
quite large number have failed to
see it at all, or if they have read it
they have failed to give it personal
application. We do not wish to con-
tinue the publication, and only do 1t
because, from all the evidence at
hand, we feel certain that large
number of our subscribers have failed
to ''take in" its full import.
