The Daughters of thp Confederacy
are li&vlng some difficulty In decid
ing upon a location fbr the con
federate monument and they would
be very glad to have suggestions
from the citizens and others in re
gard to a olaco for It.
It was thought for a while that
the mouu.nen’ would be located on
ono corner of the court hojso
square, but It is understood that tho
county commissioners have not yet
given their consent for It to be locat
ed there, as the matter has never
been brought to their attention. The
Daughters are somewhat divided lu
regard to the location. Many of
them would like to see It at the In
tersectlon of two of the loading
streets, and Central Avenue and
Ashley street has been suggested.
Another suggestion Is to place it in
tho triangular park Jn the eastern
part of the city, while others have
suggested the open space in front of
the old school building.
The Daughters have heard from
the contractors recently and they
want to find out about the Ideation,
so the matter must be settled very
soon. As tho citizens have contri
buted liberally to the monument fund
the Daughters are anxious to hear
from them In regard to Its location,
