uATE THE VIRTUES OF HER
MODEST SON.
STRONG COMMITTEE IS NAMED
Work Of Obtaining Funds For The
Memorial viii Begin With
out Delay.

day afternoon was the appointment
of a Memorial Commute embracin,
more tnan one hundred of the leadins
citizens of Maury county, who will
have in charge the work of raising
\ funds and erecting a bonument to the
memory of Senator Carmack in the
public square in Columbia.
This movement is backed by almost
an unanimous demand from the peo
pie of the great county of Maury and
from those citizens who have gone
out to other counties and other states.
From all parts of Maury the word has
come, I'VE loved and honored him;
we want to erect a monument to his
name and memory, one that will hon
or his own county and his own peo-
ple," and this same word has come
by word and by letter from scores
and hundreds of men who knew him
personally or who loved the great
cause for which he was the chosen
leader.
That the work of raising funds will
be an easy matter goes without saying
for hundreds stand ready and anxious
to contribute in greater or less de-
gree according to their means. They
say "In honoring him we honor our
selves. We saw the beginning of his
public career and watch his course
with pride. Supported him in his am
billions, and the county that holds his
dust today never had a more brilliant
or more courageous son or a truer
friend. Let the county of his adop-
ton, rich in every natural resource
raise slab to his memory fitting to
his work and his character"
After the appointment of the COM
mittee of more than one hundred to
take this work in hand, by motion the
special committee in charge of this
special feature was added to the com
mittee of the whole Chairman G. t.
Hughes will call this committee to-
gether at an early date and will out
line the work and appoint an execu-
tive committee to look after the de-
ails.

he following resolutions, which we're
