TIE COLUMBIA MONUMENT

Six thousand people from all parts
of South Carolina attended the dcdl-
cation exercises of the Ruckstuhl
statuary group in honor of the South
Carolina women of the Confederacy
in Columbia yesterday. The day was
made state holiday, and people
from every town of Importance were
represented at the ceremonies.
The Grafton was delivered by JOS
eph W. Barnwcll, Of Charleston, S. c.,
who served in the army of the Con-
fcdcracy as d boy. Mr.. Barnwc!l
paid high tribute to women OF the
south, saying in part:
"Whcn rcvcrScs followed victories;
when want displaced plenty, and
when the government tottcrcd and
chaos threatened, they were unchang-
cd in their devotion, mistaken in their
patriotism, unwearied in sacrifices,
and splendid in fortitudc.
The group, d gift from the men OF
state, is composed Of Il seated wom-
an, symbolic of the women of the
Confcdcracy, while close behind her is
a winged angel about to crown her
with laurcls Inscribed on the monu-
mcnt is the following:
an this monument, generations un-
horn shall hear the voice Of Il great
people tcstifying to the sublime dc
yotion of the women Of South Caro-
lima. in their country'S need"
AT reunions of Confederate veterans

uarx each year under the auspices OF

rams, tho toast, "'rhc Women of tho
South" has often brought forth out
bursts of applause when speakers
have manifested pathos in describing
tho noble part played by the womcr
of the Confcderacy.

Our friend. Mr.. Toomer, the lamp
who holds-out-to-burn candidate for
congressman at large. is undoubtedly
talented lawyer, but he is mighty
shy on geogra Apply. That Is, unless
some of his friends misrepresent him.
Said friends say that he intends to
have the Florida ship canal dug at
once to furnish a short cut to the Pan
anna canal. Now, the Florida ship
canal whenever it is cut, will be a
mighty fine thing for local and coast
traffic, but the Star can't see how any
person with an atlas In reach ever
manages to delude himself into the
idea that ships will ever go out of
their way to pass thru it on their way

felt and looked like a new woman. I
think the remedy is wonderful. I
recommend it to my friends, for have

Cardui acts specifically on the weak
ened womanly organs, strengthening
the muscles and nerves, and building
them up to health.
It helps to refresh the WORKOUT ner-
vous system and relieves the effects OF
overwork, both mental and physical.
Fifty years successful use fully
prove the merit of this purely vege-

In every community, there live some
who have been benefited by Cardui.
The beneficial effects Of this time

themselves in many different ways.
