Col. Walter II. Hunt, commander of
South Carolina division, U. s. G. ",
desires every camp to have full repre-
sell. alton at the State reunion, u. G.
w to be held at Columbia on May g..
The constitution of the Sons of Veter-
ans provides for full delegations from
every camp in South Carolina to attend
the reunion in this year. Columbia is
delightful place for such gathering,
it's central location IS convenient for all
and in addition to these considerations,
Commander Hunt begs the SONS Of
veterans not to forget the great re-
sp0nsibilities that devolve upon them
in this matter.
The South Carolina monument on
the Chickamauga battlefield will be
unveiled on May 81 and the grand re-
union of the U. C. v. of the entire old
Southland begins the next day at Mem
phis. Gen. c. 1. Walker, commanding
the South Carolina division, U.C. ",
extends cordial invitation to the sons
OF veterans for this great and interest
ing occasion. Gen. Walker especially
desires the socs Of veterans to accom-
pany their honored and heroic fathers
on this journey and to take part in the
exercises and ceremonies of the day.
Commander Hunt is glad to extend
this invitation to every member of his
division and to urge rs many as possi-
BILE to be with him and his STAFF at CO.
lunbia, Chickamauga and Memphis.
Col. Hunt will much appreciate such
publicity as the State PISS can con-
veniently give this matter.
He urges the commanders of every
camp in the State to begin work now,
ON these several matters. Any COM
munication addressed 10 Commander
Walter 81. Hunt, Spartanburg, S. c.,
or TO his adjntant and chief of staff,
Col. j. E .Norment, Darlington, s. c.,
will receive immediate attention.

Costly MO..alnent.

CHATTANOOGA, Jan. 20.-Col. Gar
nett Andrews of this city, prominent
as member of the United Confederate
Veterans and well known throughout
tho South as one of the foremost law
yers Of this section. is Mt work on the
details of IL plan, which he will present
to tho next encampmcnt Of the United
Confederate Veterans, looking toward
the erection Of the most costly monu-
mcnt in the United States to commcm-
crate tho valor and fidelity of tho Con-
fcderate women.
The agitation among Confederate
Veterans to build great monument
to the Confederate women had it's be-
ginning here on decoration day, two
years ago, when Colonel Andrews, the
orator or the occasion, made it the
theme of his address. Afterward N.
B. Forrest camp (locaD and The general
convention ut Louisville of United
Confederate Veterans approved the
undertaking, but no plan Of action was
adopted.
An Associated Press reporter called
on Colonel Andrews and requested his
views as to tho progress Of the work,
the necessity for it, plans of organiza-
ton and style Of monument.
"My idea of what should be done
can be told in a few words. Collect
at least $5OO,OcO or more; believe it
can be had; no man would refuse for
an object 30 sacred and popular. With
it build one monument-not several
inferior Ones-but one, &c grand in
size, rich in material, artistic in design
and execution and faultiess in location,
that the world would applaud and
Thousands would como to revere the
memory Of go great womankind,
II believe in single working ma.
chinery with few officers, for expedi-
tious accomplishment.
"An executive head of one to three,
the fewer the better, should be pro-
vided, with power to appoint sub b-offi-
GERS and caDvassers. Allow them rea-
sonable compensation, otherwise they
cannot afford to devote themselves to
the work. Get speakers here and
there, canvass every county in the
South. and, in my judgment, the $780,
600 would be in the bank within O
year."
Colonel Andrews stated that he
would prefer to leave tho matter of
location of the monument to the United
Confederate Veterans, and that he
had no suggestion to mako in that re-
spect.

The Tide Turning.

The tide that has recently turned
from the cities and is carrying the pco-
pie back to the farms, a tendency in
the thought Of action of to-day which
has been commented OH before in these
columns, seems to be approaching it's
flood.
Everywhere in congested ccnters tho
cry is going up, "Bnck to the soil"
The leaders of thought, quick to catch
the drift. arc already cndeavoring to
account for the change that is coming
over the people. 1t is pointed out that
the native born Londnner becomes ex-
tinct in the third generation. Com
mcnting on this significant fact, III.
Rider Haggard says that elf the race is
to thrive and Britain remain mighty III
years to como, say good-b to towns
and get back to tho land which bred
your fathers"
Henry o. Lloyd, the author of Wealth
va. Commonwealth. now makes the
prediction that cities will entirely dis
appear and the people "bc educated
back to the soil again." Such extreme
statements, though absurd, emphasize
the turning OF tho tide and show the
drift OF opinion.

Death Of George D. TiIIman.

COLUMBIA, February 2.-George d.
TilLman died this morning at his home
in Edgefeld. Funeral tomorrow at
Clark's Hill.
George D. Tillman was born on the
2lst OF August, 1926, at Curryton.
EE33sonnoiG County. lie was the son Of
Benjamin Ryan Tillman, for whom his
brother, Senator Tillman, was named.
His mothers name was Sophia Han
cock. He received his first education
at home, but when quite young he was
sent to an agri cultural cc!.oso at Pen
field. Georgia. Afterwards he went to
Greenw ood, S. c., where he was pre-
pared by q private tutor for Harvard
College, where he remained only for
one session. He then read law, and
was admitted to the Bar in 1847, and
the next year opened his law Office at
Edge6eld Court House, and continued
the practice of his profession until
1860. In 1860 and 1861 he planted and
in 1869 he entered the service as pri-
vate and a member of the 4th regiment
of State troops, and afterwards of the
I'd South Carolina artillery, which did
splendid service on Johns Island. He
teok part in the battle Of Averysboro
and number of other of the later bat
ties of the war and several artillery
duels, surrendering under Gen. John
ston to Gen. Sherman.
In 1854 and 1856 he had represented
his county ia the Legislature, and he
said at that time he was considered q
French anMc chist because of his fight
to abolish the parish system, his ad-
vocacy Of smaller counties and the
election Of Presidential electors and
State officers by the people. The prln-
ciples he advocated then he continued
to fight for and, to a considerable ex-
tent, has seen his views carried out.
In 1854 he was reelected to the Legis-
lature while he was in the army, and
in 1855 was elected Senator from Edge
field County. In this year he was
largely instrumental in overthrowing
the parish system, winning the fight
by only one vote. He was elected to
the Constitutional Convention Of 1855,
whose acts were annulled by Federal
bayonets. which also elected him from
his seat in the State Senate.
In 1875 he was sent to Congress from
his district, and at each succeeding
election, until 1893, he was elected to
succeed himself. In that year he was
defeated " small vote by the incum-
bent, the Hon. j. w. Talbert.
In 1899 he made an unsuccessful cam
paign for GOyernor.-Ne,rsa and Coureir.

RAISING OF ENGLISH WALNUTs.
In Sumter is Proving Quite a Big
Success,

Several days ago the Times Recorder
told how Mr.. Faust, residing near
Americus, raised successfully both
oranges and pecans, having a number
of fine trees of each variety growing
upon his farm. Numbers of people in
Sumter county, many of them right
here in Americas, have beautiful Pc
can trees which yield abundant crops
of the finest nuts. Among them is
Mr.. @. s. S. Horne, who in addition
to fine pecan grove raises English
walnuts as well. He has dozen trees
in bearing, one of them covering an
area of thirty feet, and the nuts are as
large and rich in flavor as any ever
brought here. A good grove of pecan
or English walnut trees is as fine in
vestment as a life insurance policy.

THE FEELING IS LESS BULL1sH
Drop of a Dozen Points In Market
Yesterday.

While the contract cotton market
still ranges well above the eight cent
mark, the feeling yesterday was de-
cidedIy less bullish than at any time
since the Bureau estimate sent it bal
looming skyward. January dropped
from it's perch in the twenties and was
barely steady at S.07 at.the close. No
doubt the big rush to sell cotton on
the recent rise is responsible for this
temporary slump of a dozen or more
points, and a reaction will follow. The
Americus market was quiet, with ware
house receipts of 101 bales and Y cents
offered for fine cotton.
