REAGAN STATUE IS
PLEASING TO FAMILY

Members of the John H. Reagan
monument committee and many dis
tinguished officials arrived in San An.
tonic yesterday to view the completed
statue of THE Grand Old Man OF
Texas" which is on display at the
studio of Rompeo Coppini, the creator
of the memorial. The local chapter
of the Daughters of the Confederacy
will give a reception to the visitors
and the members of the Reagan fam
lily at the studio this afternoon.
Yesterday Mrs. Reagan, the widow
of the great Texan; Jeff Reagan and
!, wife of Dallas and her daughter. Mrs
Mobley of Austin and the monument
committee visited the studio and
viewed the completed statue. Visit
ors and delegations from other chap.
tiers of the Daughters of the Confed
eracy are expected TO arrive today
and attend the reception.
Following are the members of the
monument committee: Miss Coral OF.
ment, president of the Palestine Chap.
ter, Daughters of the Confederacy:
Mrs. w. ]. Crawford, Palestine; Mrs.
Charles Horn, Palestine, chairman Of
monument committee; Mrs. T. NJ.
Campbell, wife of Governor Campbell;
Mrs. Rosine Ryan of Houston; Judge
]. L. Storey o. B. Colquitt; Judge P.
w. Brown, Palestine, secretary monu
ment committee
The monument will be erected at
Palestine, the home city of Mr.. Rea-
gan. 1t is the design of Mr.. Coppini,
the famous sculptor of San Antonio.
and was selected as the best design
among many which were submitted to
the monument committee. Mr.. Coppi-
nj has been at work on the model for
nearly a year and he considers the
memorial the best of his works. He
will leave for Italy in a few weeks,
and the plaster caste of the great
monument will be taken to Rome and
cast in bronze.
The memorial consists of two life
size figures. Judge Reagan is repre-
scented as arising from chair, and
stands in the attitude of addressing
the Confederate senate. His left hand
is raised in gesture and in his right
he carries a roll of papers. This fig
ure is mounted on a pedestal of Tex
as granite twelve feet in height
An allegorical figure of a nude man,
draped with a Confederate flag sits at
the base of the pedestal. The figure
represents the Lost Cause" to which
Judge Reagan gave the best of his life
and thought. A helmet rests on the
head of the figure representing the
clash of arms in which the cause was
born.
Next week the monument will be
shipped to Galveston and then trans
ferred by steamer to Rome, Italy.
Mrs. Mollie Reagan Mobley, daugh-
ter OF the great IeXan, was enthuslas-
tic in her praise of the memorial.
1T is wonderful how the sculptor
has caught the likeness Of my father"
she said. 1T is perfect portrait, and
even the details of form and dress
are correct"
The efforts of the Palestine chapter
to raise funds for the erection of the
memorial has met with great success,
and the entire amount, $4,000, has
been subscribed. It is probable that
an additional fund will be subscribed
TO beautify the grounds surrounding
the monument-San Antonio Daily
Light, Nov. 10.

Caused Him to Faint.

1t is getting quite common to con
Wet white men Of murder in South
Carolina these days. Last week Jas.
w. Gallman was convicted of MUIR
dcring Sims Gilmore at Union and
sentenced to fifteen years in the pen
itcntiary. The result of the trial was
a great surprise to the lawyers of
Gallman as well as to himself.
His attorneys requested that the
sentence be made as light as possible.
Judge Prince ordered Mr.. Gallman to
stand up and receive sentence. Be-
fore naming what the punishment
should be, he gave him quite a talk
in which he recounted the principal
facts of the case, and said that he
would not have been surprised if the
verdict had been murder, or muir
der with recommendation to mercy,
and that he did not feel that he
would be doing his duty to impose
as light a sentence as Gallman's at
torneys evidently wished, but that
he must give him the maximum of
thirty years.
On hearing these words cold per
spiration broke out on Gallman's
brow, and as he wiped it off he grew
faint, tottered, and fell and was
thought to be dying. This caused
considerable excitement among the
female members of the family. He
was then taken to the judges room
and given medical attention. After
he revived he was sentenced.

Make Home Happy.

We often read how the wife is to
make home the brightest spot on
earth. She is always to wear a cheer,
full countenance, as we'll as the clean
est of dresses and collars; to have
becomingly arranged hair, and ever
to meet her other half at the door
with a kiss. The house must be al
ways smiling in its orderly way:
children ditto; baby no exception to
the general rule.
Now the great wonder is, has the
husband nothing to do in this mat
ter. of making home happy? To be
sure he may do a great deal towards
making q home. He may build the
house and furnish it in princely style.
He may furnish an abundance of food
for the table---buy any amount of
fine clothing for the family need. Yet
he is cross and surly as a swapping
turtle, or %unsocial, or careless in his
habits, or unsympathizing with his
wife and little ones.
All that the wife can do will not
moke the home an agreeable one.
Neither "a a wife be happy with a
husband who is addicted to finding
fault with his Observation-Disclosures. She
may try ever 50 hard to please him,
yet when he sits down to meals, she
lives in constant fear that some por-
ton of the food will not suit his fas-
tidiOuS taste.

The Labor Question.

1t has been frequently asserted
that the two great issues now before
the people of South Carolina are the
tax and the labor questions. Each Of
these questions deserves most seri-
Gus and careful consideration on the
part of the leaders of the people.
Heretofore too much attention has
been given by the politicians to ques-
tons that aro purely political and
frequently to questions that were al
together the %outgrowth Of fractional
differences. The time for a change
has come and the very first thing
that should be arranged is an equit-
able labor law. that will protect the
employer and the employee.
The most careful and conservative
business men of the state should be
called on at this juncture to suggest
reforms which should be made in the
tax laws and in the labor laws of the
commonwealth. The opportunity is
presented, since the whiskey question
is not now an issue, for the present
legislature to place upon the statute
books the legislation which is need
ed, and if it is not done within the
nav JSoi CIiio> llIlCCck ollOulu NC anu
doubtless will be made the paramount
issue in the next election or the next
two elections. The chance is going
to be presented to some man to blaze
the way in this trail. 1t will be a
great pity if these questions are not
considered purely from a business
standpoint.
The only remedy for the present
condition is the enforcement of the
statute prohibiting the enticing of
labor under contract. If this can't
be done by law, it must be done by
moral suasion. The difficulty in the
present labor situation is chiefly the
tendency of the negroes to move
from n farm to another and this
disposition is fostered and encourage
ed by the less scrupulous employers
who do not regard the golden rule in
business. They pick up and go on
the least preteXt. This must be stop
ped by all farmers meeting on a com
mon ground and resolving not tc
employ n another's hands. This is
the only way to meet the present
emergency until the Legislature can
meet and enact a new labor law.
