Then let us be UP and doing; let us be

SOUTHERN WoMEN's MONUMENT.
Anotker Lady Who Thinks It Should Not
Be Erected.


To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
Seeing that the movement to erect a
monument to the women OF the South
is really taking shape. / cannot refrain
from speaking a word now before 1t goes
further. First, let ME say. was not one
OF these heroines. being too young to
render any service. yet my heart and
soul were devoted to the cause, and my
spirit often burned within me on hearing
of the deeds that were done; but l have
heard several of the very women who
were among the most active In the city
both then and now express themselves
as opposed to such a movement, IL being
entirely contrary to the spirit which ac-
tuated them that their deeds should be
blazoned forth to the world The glory
of southern women has ever been IN
their modesty and retirement. The very
reason they were capable Of such self
sacrifice and heroism when put 10 the
test was that no spasmodic feeling called
forth by circumstances. bit simply the ma
tural outcome OF their home-training found
expression In their efforts. The wife and
mother was indeed queen of her own
little court" but she gained, or rather
was accorded, that position mainly be-
cause she uiu UOl SltiFt ioi IT, I'LL pN"Nh
was the might of gentleness" and un-
selfshness.
IL does seem (and as / said, l am
by no means alone In the opinion) en-
tirely unsuitable TO erect a monument or
stone In commemoration Of southern wo-
men; and / believe II the desire OF each
one was expressed the majority or our
countrywomen would far rather have any
money contributed for such purpose de-
voted to alleyiatIng the suffering existing
all around them, the want of means to
relieve which causes them much pain.
fear this Is too long already. but my de-
sire Is great to perpetuate the real spirit
and character of our southern women
and discourage that which obtains too
much now OF glorifying every noble ac-
ton as II II was something unexpected.
I hope others will take up the subject.

Always mail flowers In the evening.
They get a fine start before the rush In

flowers are best picked in the dark, when
the sunshine and the warmth OF day are
not drawing the sap to the surface. Cut
the stems as long as possible, and, then,
before the moisture has had time TO es'

In melted wax--that from a lighted taper
will do. Wet some cotton wadding and
wrap 1t in a big vet mass around the
stems. letting only a thin layer cover
the flowers themselves.
Around the cotton wrap big piece OK

The Question of the Removal of the Court
House Cause of the Confusion.

House Cause of the Confusion.
MARLINTON, w. VA, June 2.-(Spe-
ial)-Tuesday was the first day for the
Circuit Court for Pocahontas county, but
instead OF holding court, Judge Camp
bell resigned the courthouse to the Demo-
cratic Convention, which was called for
to-day. 1t was expected that the conven-
ton would be interesting and exciting.
Delegates were to be sent TO the Con-
gressional Convention and to the State
Senatorial Convention, a nominee for the
House of Delegates provided, School
Commissioner and a County Commissioners
named. But the people were scarcely
prepared for the result. After
whole days work the convention
adjourned in confusion, having ac-
compllshed practically nothing. The
local question Of the removal OF the
courthouse from Huntersyille to Marlin
ton was the central point OF dispute,
and for this reason. and this alone, the
convention failed.
II is true that delegates were named
for the two conventions, and that Dr.
Moomow developed most strength Tor
the House of Delegates, but the forced
adjournment leaves IL exceedingly doubt
lul WntlEtT lllcSt NtltbdA'o va NC 49,
mitted to the conventions, and whether
the defeated candidate for the House or
Delegates will retire from the field in
favor of Dr. Moomow.
The issue is of more than local inter-
est. A prominent gentleman OF this
State. and one well versed on its politics,
told the writer that upon careful esti-
mate the coming Legislature would have
only three majority on joint ballot. That
Legislature elects senator to succeed
United States Senator Camden.
INTERESTING QUESTION.
The courthouse question is an inter-
esting and important one. The county
has a very fair courthouse at Hunters
yille-six miles from here-and a new
iail recently erected at a heavy cost
Upon inducements held out by the Marlin
ton Improvement Company, and with the
expectation that the West Virginia Cen
trail would at once effect a junction with
the Chesapeake and Ohio railway at this
point and thus furnish much additional
taxable values, the citizens voted to re-
move the courthouse to this point and
10 erect costly building. These two
railroads are still unbuilt within this
county: Marlnton is still largely a paper
city, and the Taxpayers are dissatisfied
and will at this court make vigorous
efforts 10 enjoin the removal OF the court
house.
