THE HAMPTON MONUMENT.

The General Assembly has passed a
Bill providing an appropriation of
twenty thousand dollars to be used with
ten thousand dollars to be raised by
voluntary contribution, for the purpose
of erecting in the State House grounds
Wade Hampton.
In the Senate an effort was made to
amend the Bill so that the money would
be used to establish scholarships in
South Carolina and Winthrop Colleges,
one scholarship in each to be given to
each of the congressional districts ol
the State. We are glad to note that
by Il very decisive vote the effort fail
ed. The founding of colleges and of
scholarships in order to perpetuate the
memory of heroes is all very well and
appropriate. But in all ages and among
all peoples it has been the custom to
tell in brass and marble the story of
glorious deeds and of the men who
wrought them. We have been taught
that when Il State erects a monument
to the memory of one of her sons, that
mans example is worthy the reverence
and the emulation of posterity. There
IS no more fitting way to keep fresh
the memory Of Hampton than by erect
ing on the capitol grounds of his State n
monument which shall depict the great
leader us he is remembered by those
who followed his lead on many field
of carnage in the troublous days of
war and who with him faced greater
dangers in the yet more troubous days

tremendous importance to the

The up-to-date farmer knows
what to feed his COWS to get

get the most eggs. Science.
But how about the children ?
