1t is not worth while to criticise

right and awake this applause of

OF those with whom he has been
associated in the various relations

How shall his place be filled?
First, by q man Of character
not merely the character of the
model gentleman, with its weak
nesses concealed by the adorn-
ments of drawing room culture,
nor yet the character whose integ-'

ence and mould the lives of young
men; upon which they may graft
themselves and grow in moral vi
tality; and whose walk in life will
open a path which they will un-
consciously follow.
Second, a man with a mind,--not
q man of attachments merely, how
ever are in their nature or wide
in range they be; but a man Of
mental powers that will give a
tone of intellectually to the instl-
-
bright minds seeking an inspiration
and a guide.

The Davis Monument.

Never was the death Of a great
man felt more keenly as a personal
bereavement by all his country
men than was that of Jefferson
Davis. Respected for his virtues,
admired for his actions, loved as
the chosen leader, Mr.. Davis sank
to his grave adored as the martyr
against whom the concentrated
malice of a c%onquering foe had
been directed.
A committee of the Southern
Press Association has appointed
the 18th of June as q day when an
effort Is to be made all over the
South to raise funds to build q
monument to his memory. In
every neighborhood, town, and city
it should be observed. Every home
beneath the Southern sky should
gladly pay its tribute to the lost
Southern cause, for, as a people we
must preserve the respect Of ma
tions by loyalty honoring the mem
cries of the Confederacy. Hardly
is there q Southern man who has
rot been stung by the indignities
offered Davis In his HE; now that
lie is dead will there be found one
who will fail to do him reverence?
The duty Of giving must not be
forgotten In Laurens.

and all who cherish affection for
che noble Davis Gee TO it that the

Honor to Whom Honor Is Due,

The Woman's Memorial Fund
association, Of New York, has de-
cided that the typical woman phil
anthropist Of this country is Mrs.
Mary Hamilton Schuyler, of New
York, of course. She is the
founder of the first school of design
for women I'm the United States,
and it is claimed by the association
that she was the organizer of the
Mount Vernon association. AR
rangements have been made with
Sculptor Hartley for the execution
of a statue In her honor to cost $780,
900, and beexhibited at the Worlds
Fair In Chicago. Mrs. Schuyler
was a descendant of Alexander
Hamilton, and died about ten
years ago.
We have no desire that her
memory shall not he hOnOred, and
from all we know Of her career, she
is very deserving Of n high place
in the affections Of her country
women. But, while hOnoring Mrs.
Schuyler, we should not attribute
to her q distinction which she did
not perform.
The credit Of organizing tho
Mount Vernon association belongs
TO a South Carolina woman-Miss
Ann Pamela Cunningham-and, if
any monument il to be erected in
recognition of this service, 1t should
be erected to Miss Cunningham,
and not to Mrs. Schuyler. Indeed,
it is true, az the records OF the as
ISOLATION will show, that Miss Cum
ningham appointed Miss Mary
Hamilton, who afterward became
Mrs Schuyler, as vice regent for
New York of the Mount Vernon
association, thus empowering her
to organize that State. But to Miss
Cunningham belongs the distinc-
tion of having been the organizer
and the first regent OF the Mount
Vernon association. Monuments
too often contain inscriptions
which falsify history. Let the
statue which is to he built to Mrs.
Schuyler contain no record which
lis not true.-NeUs e Courier.

time to call the attention of medi-
cal profession to the cases that
might be collected from the mass
that have accumulated during
the thirty eight (38) years of
constant s of the waters of your
Lithia Spring. The waters of
the Lithia Spring are odorless and
colorless, free from salinary taste,
rather palatable. When taken in
a considerable quantity they do
not n%auseate, purge or produce
any feeling of discomfort. I find
from an analysis of the waters they
contain cloride sodium, carbonate
potash, carbonate soda, carbonate
lithia, carbonate iron and sulphatc
magnesia. The waters act directly
upon the mucous coates of the
stomach and alimentary canals
they are powerfully Alternative

They react upon the blood, chang.
