SHAFT TO MEN WHO
WOREJH£GRAY.
Dedicatory Address Delivered by
Judge William T. Gary, of Au
gusta—Description of and
Inscriptions on the
Monument.
Greenwood. S. C., October 22 —A monu
ment. dedicated to the confederate sol
diers from the state of South Carolina
uho fill in the war between the stales,
was unveiled here this afternoon at 3
o’clock.
The dedicatory address was delivered
by Judge William T. Gary, of Augusta.
Ga. lie said in part;
"History will erect a monument to the
patriotism, the heroism, the chivalry end
bravery of the confederate soldier, Wit
how can gratitude sufficiently honor th«
noble women of the south who made that
unequal war possible.
“No nation can be truly great which
Is not a nation of noble mothers.
''There was but one mother of the
Gracchi; but In the south every mother
was the mother of a confederate soldier.
Tell it to your children, and to your chil
dren's children, that not one of the noble
women who shared their privations and
their sorrows, wiio nerved their brave
hearts and bathed their levered brows,
who bore uncomplainingly not only the
burdens of war, but also those, more
grievous, of defeat, ever refused to wel
come the worn-out confederate soldiers
back to desolated hemes and loyal hearts.
“OJr monuments are not reared to com
memorate our triumphs, not to recount
dom« Stic calamities, not to feed tlie hos
tility s of hat", not to perpetuate civic
discard. Our monuments are reared to
our convictions, and are consecrated to
the memory of our dead.
“This monumen we unveil today is not
an enforced charity, Im L a voluntary of
fering of love to the living, a testimonial
to the cause which confederate soldiers
and confederate women made immortal,
a monument to the noble dead who have
made it sacred, a silent epitaph of the
members of this association, vvh. h fut'a'e
generations will gaze upon with pride and
with gratitude.’'
Description of the Monument.
The monument is 35 feet in height, the
die on which the Inscriptions are cut be
ing from granite quarries of Vermont.
The remainder of the granite Is from
South Carolina. On the east side of the
monument is the following inscription:
“Our Confederate Soldiers ” On the
north side: “1861 1865 I'atriots who,
animated by the same faith, actuated by
the same love of country; beset by the
same trials and dangers; endowed with
the same fortitude, and who fought as
heroically to maintain st If-governnt. nt a.t
did the colonial fathers to attain the
same, and who with them are immor
talized in the same halo of glory.”
On the west and south sides of the mon
ument are inscriptions commemorating
rhe valor of deeds 'if those who sacri
ficed their lives to the cause of the con
federacy.

MR, BRYAN IN HANDS
OF UMS.
Judge Stoddard, Attorney for the
Widow, Forces Mr. Bryan To
Go Into Details About
That Bequest of
$50,000.
New Haven, Conn , October 21.—As a
climax of today’s hearing on the applica
tion for the probating of the will of the
late Philo S. Bennett, accompanying
■ which was a sealed letter, which William
' J. Bryan today testified was a request
I that he accept $50,000. Judge Stod
. dard, who represents Mrs Bennett, de
i dared that if Mr. Bryan insisted upon
; receiving the fund, she would contest the
will. Mr. Bryan In reply said that not
one cent of tl.' money would he allow
either his wife or his children to receive
unless Mrs. Bennett were willing. He,
however,' did intend to ask the court to
decide the validity of the l.equest, so that,
in ca_se It was declared legal, he could
distribute the money among educational
and charitable institutions.
During the hearing. Mr Bryan intro
duced a np.ss of <-..rr'sp-'tiden 1 between
i himsetf and Mr. Bennett fr.'in the year
1 1896 to 1900. He read a number of the
i letters aloud in order to show that Mr.
I Bennett repeatedly made olers of Qnau-
■ cial assistto him. On four occa
sions, according to the will, Mr. Bennett
I sent him money to aid hi.* tin amount
:in all aggregating *3,500. He re.ated uiat
. In May, I Sou, Air. Bennett came to Lin
coln, Nebr., (,o discuss the provisions of
i his will, ami toid Air. Hrvan mat he
wish's, him to accept a beqtmst of $50.-
000, believing tiiat he wcu.d med it later.
■ A suggestion mane py *ir. Bryan at taa:
' tun., was to me eitect that it ifi. Bennett
so desired, ne couid emuody it in a re
' quest to Mrs. Bennett in a letter to be
ieit with tne win. He further suggest
ed that the money lie It it m trust to
I himself to distribute among educational
land phiiaui nropic institutions. After
i Mr. Bennett n turned ...st. In executed h.s
! will and sent a e-py to Mr. Bryan of
: what lie said was tii< letter he left wl'.h
his will 1"I Mrs. Bennett.
I When Mr. Bryan's statement had been
I concluded. Judge Stoddard said that the
i will would be eonte-jt'.-d by Mrs. Beii
i nett if Mr. Bryan sought to secure the
j money, believing that Sir. Bryan had no
j equitable right to it.
Bryan Sharply Questioned.
I New Haven. Conn., October 22.—Wil

i witness ii, u- today wb n tl bearing
I on th- application for probating the will

Mr. Bryan was subjected by Judge Hen

i was that in the letter which was left
' for Mrs Bennett by her husband, di-
I reeling her to give Mr. Bryan $50,000
j for himself :<ud family. it was not stated
: that a certain part of the fund was to
; be given to Mrs Bryan and part to the
I children.
Mr. Bryan replied tluit he did n it know
but tint it was understood beiw-cn him
self and Mr. Bennett and that after Mr.
' Bennett’s death be told Mrs. Bennett
about the arrangements.
Judge Stoddard then asked Mr Bryan
■ if any one else was present besides him
self and Mr Bennett when they discuss
ed tiiat letter in which the. bequest had
been made to Mrs. Bennett. Witness
answered that bo did riot rem mber. but
. thought that Mrs. Bryan was not
! 'nt. although he afterwards wiote the
two letters on a typewriter, one to Mrs.
Bennett and the other to himsilf, relating
, i ' these point: . Judge Stoddard also
i Inquired why it was not .teed In the
i letter to Mrs. Binuett that Mrs. Hrvan
; knew ihe l ontetils ■ f this sealed letter.

j ferreu to have no one know it but Mrs.
' Bennett and himself.
Mr. Bryan replied that he had told
I Mrs. Bennett the details of the. agree-
by Miss Gannon, Sec’y Detroit B

young women what to do to
avoid pain and su Hering caused
by female troubles.

very elements of a practical i ducation.

this decrease of efllciency in the scnools
that give the average boy all the educa

lieved in the multiplicity oi subjects

they can do. The former Is unable to :
give his individual .attention to each of ■

ruck of ologles which prevent a thorough I
training and recur with constant em- |
phasis to the three Rs. Reading, writing |
and arithmetic, taught with old-fashioned ;
attention to spelling, would satisfy the j
educational requirements of the great
majority of boys vastly better than the I
present chaotic curricula. Away must j
be provided for bright boys who want
more, but the needs of the average boy
who “goes Into business” should be the
first concern of our school authorities.
