N DESCRIPTION of the first Me
A mortal day was found among
the "reminiscences of the
founder of the day, Mrs.
Mary Cotton Redpath, who died in
1914 at her home in Maiden, Mass, at
the age Of ninety. Mrs. Redpath was
in Charleston, s. c., at the time with
her husband, who was on General
Sherman's staff. She was troubled by
the lack of attention given to the de-
cent burial Of Union soldiers.
Our men," she wrote, had been
buried as they died from exposure or
disease in The very troughs they had
burrOwed for themselves in the ground
as protection against the weather. The
majority of these graves were unmark-
ed and the field was uninclOsed. My
husband and myself and our friends
formed q committee for consideration
of the matter, and memorial address
ed to the loyal people of South Carroll
ma was issued, calling upon every one
in the state to aid in the erection of a
monument and a suitable fence to pro-
tect it and to surround the place for
burial. Response was promptly and
generously made by freedmen and 9th
ers, and in May, 1865, a great memo
rial service was held in lions church.
''At it's close, escorted by a detach-
ment of the regiment which under Gen
eral Hatch occupied the citadel of
Charleston and accompanied by a
handful of whites and large host of
negroes, we proceeded to the race
course. On the previous day the col
ored people had gathered great guam
titles of spring flowers, which they
carried to decorate the graves. Mr..
Redpath and l rode in an open car
rage with General Hatch and another
member of the committee. The en-
thuSiaSm was intense. When the pro-
cesSion formed freedmen removed the
horses from the carriage and dragged
it out to the cemetery. The people
surged around us, waving their flow
ers and chanting the weird, stirring
songs of their race. When we reached
the burial ground the graves of the
soldiers were heaped with myrtle the
small yellow rose called cloth of gold
and other southern blossoms. Our re-
turn was made at night, by moonlight,
under avenues of cypress trees hung
with gray moss, the negroes as they
marched still singing their poignantly
sad or strangely eXulting hymns
Mrs Redpath was closely connected
with the civil war, and her home in
Maiden was one of the northern sta
tiOns of the underground railway" by
which slaves were sent to Canada and
freedom.

The Monticellonian., 1915-02-11

After seventeen months the state of New York has again in its custody the insane murderer whose money has enabled him to run the races with the law. How easily the public forgets every thing but excitment of the mo- ment and the man is instanced by Newhampshire and Boston crowds who cheered Thaw as an interesting victims of porsecu- tion.
 New York wants no such non- sense. Here is a dangerous criminal who all but escaped, staked his money against justice and lost. The highest court in the land intervened and started him back to where he belongs. It is now up to this state to take care that no needless delay, no new beclouding of the law, ob- scures plain facts or justifies belief that millions can free a murderer.
 The Evening World has pre- sented the facts forcefully if bluntly. Disregard of the law will cease if the law is enforced. Misdirected sympathy is largely responsibly for the nonenforce- ment of the law in the South. Sympathy is good, but some of it should be shown to the innocent ones who suffer by reason of the violation of our laws.-Arkansas Gazette.
 Both the Gazette and Evening World are in error in their premises. Under the law ,Thaw is not a murderer. He was not convicted of murder, but was de- clared insane by jury, at the time he killed Stanford White. Therefore, instead of the law be- ing enforced in the Thaw case 1t is being violated, by the New York authorities. According to law Thaw has been declared in noeent of the crime of murder, for lack of mind to form the in- tent to kill, and if he is still in- sane he ought to be humanely treated as an unfortunate should be, and if not now insane he should be released from prison.

SYMPATHY FOR CRIMINALS.

The newspapers of the country have poked fun at New York city in connection with the out rages by gunmen and the corrup- tion of politicians, but the fact remains that New York has a way of enforcing criminal laws that might be followed with benefit in many otherstates, and especially in the Southern states. It is generally conceded that there are enough laws for the handling of criminals on our statute books and are not enforc- ed. Mere laws are not crime deterrents, but swift and ri gid enforcement of the law is crime deterrent and the best.
 During the recent past several Southern newspapers have taken the view that Thaw, who mur- dered Stanford White, had been sufficiently punished. The New York Eevening Worlds view of the Thaw case is interesting. It says:

The Drew Circuit Court for the February Term, 1915, opened here last Monday, with Judge Turner Butler on the Bench. Hon. k. L. Compere, Prosecuting Attor- ney, and Court Stenographer, Mr. Will Etheridge are on hand

State Wide Prohibition.

Leaving out the 1st section, which prohibits the issuing of License in this state. the full text of the State Wide Prohibition Bill is as follows:
 "Sec. 2.-After January 1, 1916. it shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation to manufacture, sell or give away or be interested, directly or indirectly in the manufacture, sale or giving away of any alcoholic, vinous, malt, spirituous or fermented liquors or any compound or preparation thereof commonly called tonies, bitters, or medicated liquors within the State of Arkansas.
 "Sec. 3. Any person, firm or corpora tion who shall violate any of the pro visions of this act shall be guilty of a felony and upon conviction shall be imprisoned in the state penitentiary for period of one year. No court shall suspend sentence or permit plea guilty to be entered and continue the cause for second offense of the pro- vision of this act"
 This act has been signed by the Governor, and is now the law of Arkansas.
 From reading of the Bill it will be observed that it is radical and drastic in it's provisions.
 The house. wife who makes a bottle of grape or black berry wine, for home consumption, Is just as guilty, under the law, as is the distiller of whiskey, and the person who gives a drink oi stimulants to the sick is just as guilty and amenable to the law as is the Boot.legger who runs a Blind-tiger, for not a word Is said in the Bill about selling or giving away as beverage.
 Following the strict letter of the law, the physician who pre- scribes intoxicants in any case in his practice and supplies the remedy will be guilty of a felony, and subject to one year in the penitentiary.
 You have no more right to give friend drink of any of the prescribed stimulants in your own home than you have to go upon the highway and sell to all corners.
 Arkansas now has a prohibit tion Law that will, If strctly en- forced, fill the penitentiary, from cellar to dome, or cause such drouth in the State as was never before dreamed of.

Senator Clarke Criticised.

Sometime ago when Senator Clarke wanted the Government to come to the rescue of the Southern cotton farmer and ad. vance money and hold the cot ton until there was demand forit, at remunerative figures, the administration was cold to the measure; and now, when the administration is pressing a bill for the Government to pur- chase ships to carry the food stuffs of this country to Europe,

Must Have Help.

Uncle Sam says he must have help. He wants stenograhers for his office in Washington, and throughout many of the South ern States, at entrance salari es of from $S40 to $12OO per annum. He has some vacancies in his Phillipine offices and in the Pan anna, for which he pays an en- trance salary of $120O to $500 per year. He advances on merit, if you are competent you will soon draw good salary and 0 nly work from 9 a. m. to 4 :30 D. m., with thirty days vacation dur ing the year with pay. Five different examinations were held here in our City during the past year by the Civil Service De partment, to secure help for the Government. Special letters were received by our school, urg ing that our graduates take these examinations. We prepare students to pass examinations for several departments of Cove rnment work.
 Owing to America being the great department store of the world during the European war, Uncle Sam will need far more help this year than ever before. Young men and women, ambi- tious to succeed should give this Civil Service work prompt and serious consideration. The posi- tion is certain, the salary good and the pay sure.
 Business men desiring efficient office help, bookkeepers, steno. gragyhers, secretaries or opera, tors, at salaries in keeping with the quality of service rendered, should phone or write us just the kind of help they want and we will take particular pains in SC. lecting it, either from students just graduating or from former graduates who are desiring ad vancement. We have an expert in charge of our Emp oyment Department who will take spec ial interest in serving you with out charge.

ton, he is criticised for so doing.
 When we realize that thous- ands upon thousands of bushels of wheat are stored in the Ele- vators. at prohibitive figures, waiting for the passage of this Senator Clarke raises an objec- bill, and four, in the South, on account of 1t, is beyond the reach of ordinary mortals, and other things we have to buy are in the same category, and the rural credit bill and the appropriation bills for our rivers are made to sleep the sleep that knows no waking, for the sake of this ship purchase bill, 1t will be seen tha t Senator Clarke's actions is in behalf of his people instead of a. gainst them.
 Fortunately for the South there has been no lack of trans portation facilities for all the cotton it could get foreign coun- tries to buy, so 1t has not been hurt for want of carrying bot toms; and had 1t not been for the prospect of this Government go ing into the wholesale carrying business to Europe, where prices for foodstuffs are unreasonably high, on account of war, our own people would be able to buy what they need to live on at one third less than they now have to pay, and the growers of these comodities would at the sametime be mak- ing most handsome profit over the cost of production.
 
 It is true that d majority ot the Democrats of the Senate arc lined up for the ship purchase bill; but 1t is by no means q Democratic measure, but on the contrary is against all past tenets of Democracy, since that party has never been an advo cate of Government ownership and has universally opposed centralization and paternalism The Republicans, in this in. stance, are against the shipping bill, not because 1t is Democratic but simply because 1t IS their uniform custom to oppose any measure that the majority o them think Democrats want and now they are in a position to help the South without in tending to do so or realizing that they are doing it.
 When Senator Clarke made his move in the Senate to side track the ship-purchase bill, 1T order that the Senate nigh consider matters of deeper con cern to his continents, he found the Republicans in that body supporting his contention, ant that was one time, at least, they favored the South, whether st intended or not. Voting for thi motion was 3 Democrats, al except two from the Southern States, and a majority of the Re publicans. And because of thi fact we hear some people sa, that Clarke is Republican ant votes with the Republicans.
 But a true analysis of the sit uation is that instead of Clark
 voting with the Republicans, tn
 Republicans voted with Clarke and as a result il this Bill is de feated thereby, the Southerl people will soon be enabled tt buy their foodstuffs at a reason able price.
