THE MAN AND THE MONUMENT.
Dr.. Grier HOnored at ErSkine- Dedication
Ceremonies Conducted BY Dr..
McClintOck.
News and Courier.

News and Courier
"The" feature of the commence
ment in Erskine College this year
was the dedication Of the monument
to the Rev. William Moffatt Grier,
u. d., LII. D, whose untimely death
in September, 1899, caused profound
regret in educational circles through.
out the South The monument stands
in the College campus, directly in
front of the main College building
and i'll clear Wow of all the passers
by. 1t WAS built by popular sub.
scription The Senators aud Repre-.
sentatives from this State, all the
Judges Of the Supreme Court of
South Carolina and number of
Circuit Judges, the presidents of
the other colleges in the State, men
and women and children wac had
listened to his matchless eloquence
in tie pulpit; men who were taught
by him in the class rooms; old sol
diers, who served with him in the
Army of Northern Virginia, and all
his neighbors contributed towards the
building Of the monument. 1t rep
resents DR. Grier in the act of speak
ing to his Glasses. The pose is life
like and very familiar to those who
knew him, but the monument itself
cannot be considered very artistic
work. 1t will serve its purpose, how
ever, in perpetuating the memory OF
one Of the most remarkable men the
State has ever produced.
The dedication ceremonies on Wed.
nesday were under the direction of
the Rev e. p. McClintock, d. d.,
president of the board of trustees of
Erski'ie College, who spoke with
much foeling about the mau and his
monument, exlolllng his name and
telling the atory in eloquent and
pathetic words Of how the monument
had been built and what it signihed.
The Rev DR. Henry Quigg, ofConyers,
Georgia, made a particularly appro
pirate address. He knew DR. Grier
we'll, longer and probably better than
any other person present, and he
knew him only to love him. That
was the way with all others who knew
him, whatever their relation to him.
On Tuesday night, for example,
james Patterson Pressly, a bright
young man, who has just finished his
college course with distinction, made
DIR Grier the subject of his gradual
ing essay, "The Charm About Him."

KILLED KING AND QUEEN.
serVla'S Royal Palace Turned into Slaugh-
ter Pen-Due Primarily to Disaf-
fectiOn In the Army.

Dote,I Iauf, 'otrVlH, JuDa "A mil
ltary revolution broke out here last
night. The troops who revolted,
under the leadership Of Major Angi-
kovls, surrounded the palace, as

brother, Nikodem; Premier Marko-
s,vitoh, Minister Petrovitch and Tu.

Karageorgevitch was proclaimed
King.
A new Government was formed.
Tue streets were thronged with
people, whose actions seemed to ap-
prove the coup d'etat NJ Protice,
the new minister Of the interior, was
loudly cheered as he drove to the
ministry.
According to the best available in.
formation obtainable from the mass
of contradictions, the crime was car.
ried out by members of the the 9th
Infantry, under the command of Coils.
Mischief and Machin The latter is
brother in law of the Queen Draga
and ls minister of public works in
the new Cabinet. The soldiers ap-
pear to have fought their way into
the palace, shooting down the aide
dc camp on duty, Col. Naumovics,
although according to another ver-
sion the King shot Nsumovics be-
cause he opened the gate to his as
sailants, thereby creating a suspicion
of his connivance. Some of the
other persons killed were surprised
in their houses simultaneously with
the attack on the palace.
A dispatch from Berlin says:
The immediate cause of the revolu
ton was the return to belgrade of
Lieut. Lungievitza, brother of the
Queen, and supposed candidate for
the throne. The surviving minister's

COCHRAN SEES DAWN
OF A NEW IRISH ERA
"Cities and Gardens 10 Replace
Boys and Poverty"

NEW YORK. Aug. 15-W. Bourke
Cochran. who recently returned from
Ireland, in an interview today. declared
his belief that Ireland will soon have
home rule. He is most optimistic re-
garding the future of ireland ana be-
lieves the land bill will be the salvation
of the country. Mr. Cochran said:
THE passage of the Irish land act in
sures the settlement of the Irish ques-
ton. which has disturbed millions of
people for scores of years. 1t removes
all reason for refusing to let the native
people settle the conditions of their own
government-and this means that Ire
land viii forge rapidly to the front as
a nation, even as her people have come
forward through their own inherent
qualities.
Il predict a wonderful future for Ire
land. 1t will become a nation of cities
and gardens. instead of bogs and
poverty. Emigration to America will be
stopped.
The future of Ireland is in her own
hands. The politicians. united under The
able leadership of John Redmond. have
one aim and irresistible power. all
toward freedom. Ireland will be free"

att is impossible for any Government
official connected with land company
dealing in Indian lands to be entirely
impartial in his decisions when he is
deciding questions which may affect his
own welfare. I do not think that any
of the officials whose names appear as
stockholders or directors in the Indian
Territory land companies had any in
tention of acting dishonesty, but must
say that I think it was extremely bad
taste for them to allow themselves to
be connected with companies.
az believe that the Indian Office
should at once undertake a thorough
investigation of the conditions in the
Indian Territory and prepare a report,
ana then if Congress considers a further
investigation desirable, there will be
material upon which to work. The in
vestigation viii be long and tedious,
and will have most extensive ramifca-
tiOns, but it should be begun immedi-
ately by force of competent men, and
should continue until we have reached
the very bottom. Twenty million acres
of land are involved, and millions of
dollars in money, to say nothing of the
interests of some four hundred thou
sand Indians"
