The funds for a memorial to be erect ed or. the capitol grounds have been raised. Sculptor F. Wellington Ruckstuhl Is now designing the monu ment and the design has been declared one of the most artistic ever prepared. On the monument just In front of the State house, erected by the women of South Carolina to the soldiers who died for the "Lost Cause." are two beautiful inscriptions. These recite the valor and heorism of those "who. true to the Instincts of their birth have glorified a fallen cause by the simple manhood of their lives and their patient suffering," "and in the dark hours of Imprisonment, in the hope lessness of the hospital, in the short, Sharp agony of the field, found hope in the belief that at home they would not be forgotten." These were some of the words In scribed by the women of South Caro lina <-n the monument to the soldiers. Jt is now necessary for the men of the state to send to the commission in charge of the work of greeting a monument to the women of the Con federacy suitable inscriptions for the tribute to their self-sacrifice and de votion.

Estati of the Lute Joel W. Anderson of Waterloo Involved. Mr. /laude A.

Jr., against I Mr. I), c. smith of Waterloo for an accounting and final settlement of the estate of the late Joel W. Anderson. Mr. Anderson died in December of 1875 leaving a considerable estate of which he disposed of under his will, appoint ing .Mr. D. C. Smith as executor. The complaint alleges In part as follows: "7. That since the qualification of the defendant. David Casper Smith as i executor as aforesaid, he has retained control and management of the said estate, and has rented mit the real estate, collected large sums of money through the estate, and paid off cer tain debts alleged to he due by it. as I to Hie exact nature and amount of said items the plaintiff has not deli nite information. "S. That the said defendant. David Casper Smith, has never made a full and final settlement of said estate, or received his discharge as execu tor thereof; that he has on hand, or should have a large balance distribut | able among said legatees. ? i. That on or about Oct. 10, 18S7, a proceeding was instituted in the Pro hate court of Laurens county by David Casper Smith as executor of the will of Joel W. Anderson, plaintiff against Jane Maria Smith and others, defend ants, for the sale of the real estate of Joel W. Anderson in aid of personalty to pay alleged debts, ami an order was made by Court of Probate of I.aurens county for the sale of the said real ! estate, and that under the said order of sab" all of the real estate of said Joel \V. Anderson consisting of over I.eon acres of land was sold by Judge of Probate of Laurens county in No vember. ISS7, for a large sum of mon ey, the exact amount the plaintiff la, not Informed; that the defendant Da vid Casper Smith, executor has made no accounting, and has failed to charge himself with the sums received from the proceedings of said sale, and 1 that he is largely indebted to the plaint ill and other legatees on account thereof, the said real estate having been devised to the said legatees to be divided upon the same terms as the personal property. "10. That defendant has not faith fully returned the income which he i has received on accounts of the said estate, and has failed to charge him self with sums of money received on I account of land belonging to the said ! estate im the State of Florida; and has I fulled tu make returns of collections made by him of notes and other cIiosch In action as to the exact amount of which the plaintiff is not informed." Mr. Smith is represented by Messrs. Ferguson & Peatherstone and Messrs. ' Richey & Richey. The case will not likely be called for trial before the November term of court. NOTICE OF ELECTION.
