Few Days.
TOBE THIRTYFEET HIGH
Date For Unyciling Exercises Has Not
Been Decided UpOn-PrOb-
ably the 22nd.

In few more days the handsome
monument to the memory of those
who struggled for the South in the
War between the States will be COM
pleted. The work of placing the diff
ferent pieces in position is being done
upder the supervision of Mr.. Moon.
who is representing the builders of
the monument, the National Marble
and Granite Co., of Marietta Ga. Mr.

with care as well as with rapidity.
The various sections of the monument
have arrived and the whole thing is
expected TO be completed within a
week.
The memorial from the base to the
top will measure about thirty feet.
The crown of the main shaft will be
a deliCately carved figure of typical
Southern soldier. Beneath this figure
OF marble will be several sections of
granite bearing appropriate inscrip-
tions and increasing in size to the base,
which will be about eight feet square.
The monument as a whole presents
a very handsome appearance and is
we'll worthy its position on the main
square of the town that did its share
Of aiding III the great struggle for
Southern rights.
The work of raising the funds neces-
sary fer the purchase of the monument
was done by the Laurens chapter of
the Daughters of the Confederacy. The
entire amount has not yet been raised
and those who wish to contribute can
do so. The committee in charge of
preparing a fitting program for the
unveiling exercises have not completed

Curtailmeut of Pig Iron Production

Seventeen stacks were blown out in
April. reducing the number in oper-
alton on May l to 29s. This move
nent will have a good effect on the
market 1t will put a stop to the ac-
emulation of iron and prices are al
ready becoming firmer, especially for
late deliveries in the year.
The production of April was 2.454,-
25s tons as against 2,5ss,736 tons in
March. The blowing out of stacks did
not begin in earnest until the month
of April was we'll spent, and it is
believed the returns for May will show
heavier decrease in production.
The production of this district in
April was 172, sS5 tons, as against $780,
0Ss tons in March. This district still
outranks New York, but the difference
is small. Two New York furnaces were
blown out in April, and it is expect
ed that the curtailment movement will
be extended in May until the demand
for iron becomes strong again.

Mine Explosions In America

No doubt a federal bureau of mines
would be helpful even if it has no power
in state beyond being advisory. Its
chief duty will consist in the study Of
mine explosions with view to preventing
them as far as is possible The differ
ences of the TWO houses over the bill are
not irreconcilable, and the bill is now in
conference. A report from the conferees
is daily expected, and the bill will soon
become, it is thought, a. law.
The new bureau will no doubt study the
methods in use in other countries. In the
Durham district there Is a system OF
watering the mineg as a means of pre-
venting coal dust explosions. No cNs
will come out of the Inflated Palos mine
perhaps to explain the nature of the dis
aster. but 1t is wholly safe to assume
that gas or dust or both were at the bot
tom of it, If so, the English plan O.
