ern trip was Of greater value to him

on the subject and the Massachusetts
senator declares that the whole nation
should be grateful to the State of
South Carolina for inviting the prSi-
dent TO 20 to Charleston. so that the
whole world might sec the love, respect

Of the republican and demotratic
parties here in Washington agree that
President ROpSevclt'S visit to South
Carolina was Il benefit to the whole
nation. and it will go down in history
rs an undying example of what the

age to the handsome South Carolina
monument at Chickamauga park.
The monument erected to the South
CarolinianS who participated in the
battle of Chickamauga consists of a
huge bronze palmetto tree on Il mar
bic base. The winds and storms have
stripped the bronze leaves and broken
off three limbs of the tree. Part of
the bronze is lying on the ground by
the monument, while the rest of ii has
evidently been carried away. The
marble cSplanade around the monu-

and seriously damaged. Unless re-
