THE DAVIS MONUMENT FUND.
The Schoo! Children or this state To
Help Get IL Up.

Some time ago state Superintendent
OF Education McMahan received let
ter from Mrs. Alice \. Gaillard Pal.
mcr or Charleston on the part Of the
committee for South Carolina to rep
resent the Southern Memorial associa-
tlOn In an effort. along with the
United Daughters OF the Confcdcracy
to further the collection OF funds for
the erection OF Il monument to Jctrer-
son Davis. Mrs. Palmer suggests
that the school children be given the
opportunity to contribute to the
monument. This would be most ap-
propriate, especially in the State OF
South Carolina, the leader in the or
Yanization OF the COnfederacy, which
will forever be SymbOlizcd by the name
OF Jefferson Davis. The chief reason
for the contribution is the sentiment
rather than the money. Mrs. Palmer
says:
we feel confident that every man,
woman and child will consider it an
honor and privilege to contribute to
this fund. | write to ask il it would
be possible for you to appoint some
day and have Il collection taken ND in
all the schools for this fund? II each
child gave five cents. | am sure it
would amount to goOdly sum. There
is rule in our city schools that no
collection shall be taken up. but am
going TO make 4 special appeal to the
board, and have the sanction OF the
4. A ir ,,,
the women OF the south that the
monument shall he unveiled on June
3, 1903, and each State is earnestly re-
questcd to act promptly in adding 20
the funds now on hand"
superintendent McMahan thinks
that in connection with the taking up
OF the contributions. there should be
exercises commemorative OF Jefferson
Davis. and OF the ConfeGeracy These
would serve not only tD -irrerISt, but
to instruct the children Of the schools
and the people OF the community. In
order TO assist the teachers in devils
ing an attractive and significant pro-
grammc, he will issue a pamphlet.
which Miss WithcrS is now preparing
with the assistance of several teachers
OF Inc state. Oh course, Jefferson
DaviS'S birthday would he the best
time for such an exercise, except that
it comes after most Of the schools will
have closed. Memorial day, the 10th
of May, will therefore, be designated.
AS many country schools, however,
will close much earlier, they are asked
to fix each a day for itself in connec-
tion with its closing exercises, and
give the children Of the school and
the people of the neighborhood the
opportunity to contribute something
towards this monument to the southS
great leader i'm the Lost Cause.

position should be set apart as South
Carolina Day. For this exposition is a
a state enterprise, conceived and car
ricd to a completion In the metropolis
OF the State, and this day has been
fixed when the people Of South Caro-

their exposition and to the city which
made II success to see here dis
played the resources and advantages
and possibilities OF their own State,
and OF nearly every other State In the
union. and other parts OF the world.
And it is most appropriate that

pride invite her brethren OF every sec

noted with the keencSt interest and
delight the kind and eloquent words

prise was undertaken has been accom-

ma Day has been great success, while
the crowd in attendance should have
numbered not less than $4,000 yet
there were indeed 10, 900 people in the

cause several Columbians who had
thought OF the exposition as fail

and these converts declared that
they were going home and urge others
to come.
1t is strange that home people must
be persuaded to believe that this ex-
position is
GRAND SUCCESS.
from an aesthetic and artistic stand
point. The exposition has had many
things against which to contend and
the one which has, perhaps, influenced
the people OF South Carolina to dis
trust the exposition is the fact that
the exposition was opened before it
was ready. Had they been admitted
free they might have had no kick to
make, but rs they paid their way to
see an unfinished show many of them
went away with feeling akin to re-
sentiment. 1t is u great pity, and it
is ditlicult to overcome whatever i'm
prcSSionS were made at that time.
However, the visitors who are coming
here now declare their qualification at
seeing the exposition not only com
pleted but complete. There is moth
ing lacking to make it a success If not
successful. The crop year has been u
bad one, but there are people who are
able to come here for few days OF
recreation and for enjoyment.
