A STATUE OF CALHOUN.
Kings Mountain Chapter D. A. R. Desire
to Place one In Statunry Hall,
Washington, D. c.
To the Editor of UNION TIMES:

To the Editor of UNION TIMES:
My Dear Sir:-Wc, the under
signed, representing the Kings
Mountain Chapter D. A. R., York
vile, S. c., wish to call your at
tention and that of your readers to
a work which we beg your cordial
help and cooperation. 1t has long
been a source of regret and morti-
fication that South Carolina has no
representation in the National
Statuary Hall of the capitol at
Washington. This statuary room
was the old hall of representatives,
it was the scene of the debates of
Webster and Clay, Adams, CAL
houn and others whose names are
indelibly associated with the history
of congress. In 1861, at the sug-
gcstion of Senator Morrill,, of Yer
mont, the room was set apart as
National Statuary Hall, to which
each State might send the cfligics
of two of her chosen sons in marble
or bronze to be placed permanently
here. No South Carolnian ever
views those stately statues erected
by practically all the states of the
union in memory of their chosen
sons" without wondering why our
own place has been so long empty,
and wishing that we too could point
with pride to representative occu-
pying the space allotted to South
Carolina. The Kings Mountain
chapter is dcsirous of starting
movement to remedy this long
standing neglect. We have
written to every woman's or
ganization in the State, ask
ing them to join us in petitioning
the Legislature to appropriate at
the present session the sum of
twenty five thousand dollars $685.
OOO) for the purpose of erecting a
statue of John G. Calhoun in the
National Statuary Hall in Washing
ton. We regard Calhoun as South
Carolina's most representative man;
he was for forty years the most con-
spicuous and influential figure in
national politics; he was Represen-
tative, Senator, Secretary of War,
Secretary of State and Vice-Presi-
dent. We do hope that you will
give us your support and help in
this work. We wish through your
paper to appeal to every South Car
Gilman, man and woman, to honor
this draft upon your patriotism,
and beg them to respond to the cf-
fort we are making to have our be-
loved State take her rightful place
in the Halls of the Nation. We
shall be exceedingly obliged if you
will give this letter place in the
columns of your paper.
Very respectfully yours,
Mrs. Virginia Mason Bratton,
Miss Maggie A. Gist,
Miss Leslie D. Witherspoon,
Mrs. G. H. O'Leary,
Mrs. Walter B. Moore, Regent.

to South Carolina in the statuary
hall. We fear the ladies have their
rights too high, and would suggest

patriotism and generosity of our
representatives in the general as
sembly just at this time. ED.

The entire days session OF the
superior court Monday was occupied
: in the trial of Frank L. Hodgdon. Of
Winthrop. who was indicted for forg-
F.; cry at the September 1905 term Of the
grand jury for forgery. County At
torney Leigh appeared as prosecutor
for the State, and the defense was
| conducted by George w. Heselton Of
Gardiner, F. L. Dutton Of Augusta, and
II. E. Foster Of Winthrop. At the
forenoon and afternoon sessions Of the
court, the witnesses for the State and
the defense were examined and all the
testimony was not put in on each side
until O'Clock, when the court ad-
journed until $50 o'clock Tuesday
: morning.
The witnesses who gave important
, testimony in yesterdays proceedings
were H. w. Fisher Of Augusta. James
O. Putnam of ReadfieId. Mrs. Hem
rietta S. Hodgdon of Readfield. Charles
French of Boston and the accused al
SO took the stand in his own behalf
According to the testimony, the
State will seek to prove that in 1903.
Hodgdon forged a deed for a certain
pierce Of farm property located in
Readfield, and said to be worth at
that time about 5000. The name forged
was that Of Mrs. Henrietta S. Hodg-
don, an aunt Of the defendant. In
! support Of its claims. the State pro-
duced Charles French, a handwriting
! % Of ROStOn Mr. E>rpnch faSfi-
fled that he acted in his professional
capacity at the murder trials of
Charles L. Tucker Albert T. Patrick
and Wilfred Blondin. all Of whom were
convicted and sentenced to death, and
: in each case the value of expert testi-
mony on handwriting furnished an
important link in the chain Of evidence
woven about the accused. Mr.. French
was on the stand for over an hour and
he testified that. in his opinion. the
signature of Mrs. Hodgdon on the deed
was a forgery. and that while he was
satisfied in his own mind that the
handwriting of Frank l.. Hodgdon, the
accused. was the same as that on the
forged deed. me would not swear posi-
lively to that as a fact. Mrs. Hodg
don, who is an invalid, gave consider
able testimony to show that she had
not signed the deed. The defendant
went on the stand in his own behalf
and entered a general denial, swear
ing that Mrs. HodgdOn signed the deed
of her own volition and gave it to
him.
The trial will be continued Tuesday
morning.
County Attorney Leigh stated to a
representative of the Journal last
night that several more criminal cases
remained to be disposed of at this
term. although it is not anticipated
that any more trials will be held.
There are no further cases on the civil
docket for trial at this term. and it is
possible that court will finally adjourn

ISSUED NEW ORDERS.
The American Express Co. Will Ac
cept No More Liquor Orders.

Stringent orders have recently been
issued to all local agents of the AM
erican Express Co. regarding the
handling Of consignments Of liquor.
Z. NJ. Mower, the local agent of the
company. stated to a Journal reporter
Monday afternoon that in compliance
with this new ruling of the company
officials. the commission department,
which has long been a source of con-
venience, will no longer be placed at
the disposal OF Augusta patrons who
desire to send an order. with money
order, to Boston or elsewhere for the
purchase of liquors. Daniel Webster.
Jr of Bangor, the State superinten-
dent of the company, is quoted as
follows regarding this new order:
What we wish to avoid. said Mr..
Webster, lis to connive in any way
with liquor dealers or the liquor traffic
in it's broad sense. We have to carry
liquor. as we would anything else. but
we have limited actions of agents to
such an extent that we simply fulfill
our legitimate duty as carriers.
"Prohibitive rules have been issued
to all offices to prevent acceptance Of
department. We will buy man a
pair of shoes or a hat in Boston. but
we will not buy liquor.
mo more c. 0. D. parcels will be
received.
mo delivery will be made to any
body except the bona fide consignee;
no delivery will be made to a minor.
''Strict orders have been sent out
not to secretc liquor or to carry it in
misleading form. Any agent or mes
senger who tries any trick Of this sort
is running a big risk.
THE express: company will do it's
duty as a common carrier, but that is
ALL"

In an item from one of the Maine
weeklies that was copied in the Jour
nal last week. it was mentioned that
fire engine 100 years old was in ex-
istence. In conversation with one of
the chief officers of the Augusta Fire
Department. yesterday. a Journal re-
porter learned that in this city there
is an old hand tub. that is older than
the one mentioned last week
The tub now rests in peace
full solitude in the Cushnoc en-
gine house. that was built in 1902 by
f. Thayer of Boston. who in his day,
built nearly all of the fire apparatus
used in the New England states. The
tub has not been on public view for a
great many years, although it has ap-
peared in one or two parades during
the past generation. 1t was originally
used in active fire service here soon
after its manufacture in 1902, and for
nearly half century it perforned
faithful service. The machine. as the
tubs used to be called, had no suction
on the pump. but large leather buckets
were used to transfer the water from
the fountains to the reservoir. The
tub is not very substantial now but
it will be treasured as relic Of the
old days. The tub is not owned by
the city. but was purchased wears 400
by private parties.
