A Confederate Monument.
Ed!;o. TIC Manning Times

Ed!;o. TIC Manning Tines:
lam addressing this call 70 the people
OF Clarendon county, bu, especially 20
the sons and daughters OF Confederate
Veterans. | noted with pleasure few
weeks ago the suggestion Of Hon. D. l..
Green, endorsed By Col. Brailsford. and
also endorsed by Mr.. David s. Jones, q
Clarendon boy now living in Baltimore,
in regard 20 erecting monument on the
court house square iu honor Of our Con
federate dead.
This is Z subject that has been OF my
mind Tor many years. About twenty-one
years ago, l think in 1888, there was
some Slight effor. made in this direc-
ton. An organization was formed. but
outside OF two or three patriotic women
very little interest was manifested.
About $50 was raised, S25 OF it being
contributed by some whiskey house
through Mr.. S!smond Wolkoviskie. The
whole plan failed for wan, OF interest.
and the funds were donated TO. think,
the monument fund in Richland county.
II seems 10 me now. from what l cao
see, that now Is the time 70 commence
the performance OF Z patriotic duty. and
one which should have been performed
years ago. There we're 100 many brave
men who gave their lives and their SER
vices 10 the cause OF their country for
their memories 20 go unmarked. Some
OF US, Us souS OF veterans, have re!ictS
and rewards telling OF the deeds OF our
fathers in that great struggle, but with
the rapid passing OF the veterans them
selves these memories are rapidly pass
ing.
This should not be so. The bravery
and the memory Of our fathers should
be put 10 marble as permanent record
70 show 70 coming generations what they
did for their country. We should build
q monument, It should be built with
voluntary contributions. II should aot
be a tax Ipon anybody. Contributions
should ee IS liberal as we can spare,
bu; they should be made cheerFuily and
with feeling OF patriotism.
About seven years ago when we Or
ganlZed 4 county camp OF Sons OF Con-
tederate Veterans they did me the hon
or o; making .ue conmandant. Blu. z
still! higher honor, and one which ap-
preciated more, was when they named
it IN honor OF my late father. Under
these circumstances this question OF =
public monument has been OF my mind
long time, and now that the time
seems 10 be ripe, feel il somewhat my
patriotic duty 70 start the monument in
definite form.
In order TO start the fund am hand
ing my check 20 the Manning Times for
sic. will do more have talked with
the editor of The Times. and be will
help the cause and receive and acknow-
ledge il his paper all contributions.
Further arrangements will be made ior
carrying out the plan from time 70 time,
as the fund grows. We do not know how
much we will want, ou, should think
somewhere from 81 800 70 $1,000 lie, US
build the monument. What do the peo-
pie OF the county, and especially the
sons and daughters OF the Consederacy
say about il: J. II. LESEsNE.

a PROPER

Senator McIntire has introduced a
bill ii The Legislature to correct a
foolish practice which has been OBJ
served In this state for two years.
Senator McIntire's bill is TO restore
the old practice Of having the judge
deliver his charge to the jury after
the lawyers Of both siles have finish
ed their pleas.
The legislature two years ago en-
acted a law which reversed this pro-
ceeding. having the judge deliver his
Instructions first and then allowing
the attorneys to make their addresses,
confusing the jury with their biased
arguments.
The old course. of the charge last,
is the proper one. After the jury
have heard the pleas Of counsel,
the judge restores the case to its
proper basis by telling them the
exact law concerning the case and
removes all doubt or consusions from
their minds.
1t is to be hoped the legislature
will pass Senator McIntire's bill and
restore a practice which should not
have been changed in the first place.

PRAISES THE PRESIDENT.

The New York Evening Post which
has many times made bitter attacks
on President Roosevelt highly com
mends his action in vetoing the cen
sus bill In the following editorial:
President Roosevelt has ~spleniidly
met the hopes pinned to his staunch-
ness as a civil service reformer. In
vetoing the spoils tainted census bin
he uses few words, but few are need
ed to expose and rebuke so obvious a
fraud on the people. With great di-
rectness ana entire frankness the
president shows that the provisions
Of the bill respecting the appointment
Of clerks in the census bureau are
merely a blind for a division of the
spoils among congressman. This is
favoritism, not the open door for
merit. II means the possibility that a
horde Of incompetent men may be
forced upon the director of the census
with the result of bringing the whole
work under suspicion. To prevent
such an endangering of a great pub
lie under aking and to uphold the prin
ciple OF safeguarding the whole civil
service from the attack of politicians
the President interposes his veto. II
is conceived in the spirit of the
Roosevelt of the old ideals-strong on
the side of good administration and
ready to put the brand upon those
who would cheat the people while pre-
tending 10 serve them. SO doing the
President deserves. and win receive,
the support of intelligent and upright
men. If he has alienated many of
them by what he has said ana done,
they will rot for that Withhold their
thanks and applause for this fine and
needed action"

o STATE AID.

For some time past II has been felt
that this section of the state is in
need d a suitable hospital where the
injured, without home or means Of OBJ
tain.ng necessary treatment. could be
taken in emergency. The Kings
Daughters hospital is open. but there
is no provision for the care Of mis-
cellaneous cases. Every thing that is
done there Is by charity and II is felt
that this Institution should get some
substantial aid from the state 50 that
care may be taken of the injured.
There are upwards Of Ave thousand
nen employed in the quarries. sand
mines and other industries, to say
nothing OF the hundreds OF foreigners
that are constantly being Drought to
this section to work on Improvements.
Amy OF these are liable to injury, and
there is no state institution in this
section to which they may be taken
to receive proper care.
Effort has been made heretofore
10 get some appropriation from the
state for the hospital here, but with
out success. Recent instances have
shown that there is need of such an
institution, and 1t would be well If
the matter would be brought to the
attention of our representatives in
the legislature, 90 that the state can
be asked for some substantial aid
during this session Of the legislature.
II is not too late to taka the matter
up, and If 1t Is presented in the prop
er light we believe that q reasonable
request will not be refused.
With a Greater Martinsburg," u
need along this line will be much
greater. and it is not too soon to make
the effort. We will need united eff
fort to build up the city and why not
begin now with a united effort to get
an appropriation which we so greatly
need Yx@G

LOOK OUT FOR THE sTlNel

Freak advertising propositions
according to Whites Sayings, are
like bees-you won't get stung as
long as you let them alone" 1t is
probably true that once in awhile a
freak advertising stunt pans out, in
the sense that it may occasionally
yield in profits as much as it costs
but it is invariably q fact that that
same amount of money and the same
quantity Of gray matter expended
on a scheme OF that character would,
if put into legitimate advertising in
a frst-class, wide-awake home news
paper, give greater immediate re
turns and lay a hrmer foundation for
the future. The freak lad" that

DON'T LIKE CHARLES BROOKS.

Evidently there is one newspaper
man in Charleston who does not have
any great love for Charles Brooks
Smith. whose name figures conspicu-
eusly at the head of so many columns
of political correspondence from this
state. The Wheeling Register prints
under a Charleston date line:
Charles Brooks Smith, beg pardon,
Judge Charles Brooks Smith, has a
fashion of stalking up the aisle of the
house in the midst of the session or
of a speech with a carnation in his
buttonhole and wearing a broad and
patronizing smile, as If to say it all
amused him so much. and really gave
him a pain. One legislator has threat
ened to throw An ink we'll at him the

AN ABLE REPRESENTATIVE.

Senator Gray Silver, of Berkeley
county, is recognized as n OF the
strong, influential men of the senate.
He rarely takes the floor. but when
he does. he has something to say and
says it well. He is an indefatigable
worker and a c~lear-heaied. reliable
legislator. On the large farming,
manu- acturing and mercantile bust
ness of the state he is especially well
posted, and his opinion and Judgment
are always of value, because they are
unprejudiced. He is a conscientious
true democrat. who never forgets the
tenets of jefferson nor denies the
Interpretation of Jackson. To the
great democratic heart of the state
now watching his manly course here,
the barkings. of the few critics who
seek to discredit him at home ar in
deed amusing-Charleston Gazette.

OUR WEEDS.

The effort to have an appropriation
granted the hospital here is receiving
"a great deal a consideration. There
is no reason why this section of the
state shoulf be compelled to take
care of it's unfortunates when other
sections Of the state which do not
pay as much taxes get hundreds Of
thousands of dollars TO care for their
injured. It can hardly be called a
