The attention of our 'city fathers"

The attention of our "city fathers
is respectfully called to the terrible
condition of our streets, the side
streets particularly, and especially DE-
we call their attention to our side
walks. On many long stretches WE
have plank walks; this is expensive
little common sense would suggest
thatin many places this could be dis
pensed with, the walks smoothed
down, and sand or gravel substituted.
Unless plank side walk is strictly
maintained and kept always in good
fix, it becomes dangerous and may
bring damage suits upon the town.
Do away with them where it is pos
sible, and substitute gravel or sand.
1t makes better walk at half the
cost.
Just west of Senator McLaurin 8
residence on the street going to DR.
Kersh's, the street is threatened by
a gulley which if let alone will soon
involve the street; now few hours
work will stop it's ravages. This
street going east is abandoned. Why
is this; it is very important street
and should be reclaimed.
The fact is the town spends too
much money on plank side walks to
the detriment of the streets. The
mayor and aldermen should go over
the. streets and see for themselves
Unless some timely, sensible work is
done on the street below r. E. Gay
denis residence it will have to be
abandoned. Other streets are in the
same fix. Taxes are collected every
year and spent on plank sidewalks
in many places where they are not
needed, if little practical Judgment
could be brought to bear. Our hon.
orable board should get move on
them. We all know labor is scarce
and hard to get, but the board can
arrange to get the county convicts, or
with the money paid in now used for
planking the sidewalks put the streets
in better order. The board of mayor
and aldermen should look into this
We are entitled to better streets. We
make no reflection on the street com
missioners, but depreeate the practice
into which we have fallen. There
should be change. The interest of
the town demands it.

To his oldest child we present this
cross of honor. Let her keep it in
remembrance of his fidelity to lost
cause.
1t is with no disrespect to our stars
and stripes that we grow wild with
enthusiasm over the Bonnie Bue flag,
or that the tears will flow when we
see the battered relics of our once
proud banners, or the faded uniforms
of grey; it is from tenderness, sac
red passion. natural emotion over
dead love. We can never cease to
give to this first love of our hearts,
the sweetest flower of remembrance.
| Dear veterans, wear this cross in
memory of our heroic past, in memory
of all the dead who sacrificed their
lives upon the altar of our country, in
memory of our manned and battered
armies Wear it with more devoted
love and constancy than you would
wear crown. Whenever you look
upon it let your heart throb with
pride for the stainless honor of the
] confederate soldier Remember that
his heroism will 60 down the ages in
song sand story as pure and noble,
without blemish and without re-
proach.
When again you look upon it.
remember that the United Daughters
of the Confederacy have sought to
! honor you with tender admiration,
for your heroism and as symbol
of their fealty and your loyalty,
they present you with this cross of
honor! Whenever and wherever you

Friends -We, the daughters of con-
federate heroes, living and dead, are
come to present to this band of dearly
loved veterans, the cross of honor.
Behold how simple it is, how quiet
and unassuming in workmanship, yet
it is freighted with the love of all the
women Of the southland It is the
maltese cross; it is the fac smile of
the Victoria cross, which is worn by
Englands best and bravest, but no
warrior ever wore it who had bet
ter title to bravery, whether on the
blue shores of the Mediterranean, or
in any one Of Brltain's vast domains,
than the soldier of the southern con-
federaoy.
The private who served through the
storm and stress of four years of hard
ship and poverty and unprecedented
privations is entitled to wear it with
as much pride as the officer who led
him to victory or defeat.
We are daughters of fathers who
sacrificed everything for the Lost
Cause. OF mothers who cast aside
luxury and wore @home-spun through

knightly gallantry towards women,
for the sublime courage which you
showed under defeat and through the
long, CALLING years of the reconstruc-

the manly grace with which you en- !
dured the reverses of fortune, after
having lived in princely fashion, in
lordly state.
We feel honored to be the daught-

STEEL TRUST REPORT
A DEPRESSING FACTOR
Market Also Declines Under Influence
of Weakness on Foreign
Exchanges.

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-The stock mar
ket was depressed this morning by the
influence of weaker foreign markets and
unfavorable effect of the statement Of
United States Steel Corporation. The
opening was at a fractional loss and
prices further declined. with only occa-
sional rallies Of small fractions.
Amalgamated Copper was an active
issue, but after opening down I per
cent, the price rallied 1ss per cent, then
held steady at a fractional recession.
In the railway list there were gradual
declines OF a point or more in St. Paul.
Union Pacific. Atchison and Canadian
Pacific. Louisville and Nashville opened
off IL per cent, but subsequently showed
more strength. Delaware and Hudson
opened down IL per cent and Della =
ware. Lackawanns and Western de-
clined the same extent Realizing sales
caused a decline of per cent in the
Chicago and Alton stocks.
In local fractions there were losses of
a point in Manhattan. and la in Metro
politan Street Railway and Brooklyn
Rapid Transit hefA comparatively
steady AS the morning advanced the
selling pressure showed an increase. and
stiu further declines were recorded
through the list.
The speculative sentiment was consid-
erably unsettled and gossip was resum-
ed suggestive Of apprehension that the
market might be discounting the decis-
ION in the Northern Securities suit. as
likely to be unfavorable to the company.
London sold from 10000 to $1,000 shares.
The foreign selling movement originated
in Paris where the markets were dis
furbed BY a 2 per cent decline in Rus

COTTON MARKET WEAK
UNDER BEAR PRESSURE

NEW YORK. Jan. 6.-There was con-
siderable selling pressure at the opening
of the cotton market today, and prices
gave way as though the support had
been altogether withdrawn. Later the
market went still lower on offerings
from persons who did not like the news
regarding the situation in the Far East
or the cables from Liverpool. Prices
from that market coming much lower
than expected.
After 1890 o'clock. the market devel-
oped a good deal of irregularity, and
soon became unsettled under renewed
war talk. with Lloyds reported to have
increased the war premium. Room trad
ers were very bearish. and went short
freely. with 1870 o'clock. finding the
market at a net loss Of "a 10 40 points
and stif weak under realizing and bear
