STATU? TO PARTI/,AN GENERALS.
F. Wellington RuekHtulil hua Submit
ted Outline of the Monument to Ma
rlon, Snniter and Pieken?.
Columbia. Oct. 10.?F. W. Huck
stuhl, whose genius created the mas
sive equestrian statue of Hampton
standing on the east side of the state
capitol and the beautiful replica to
the Women of the Confederacy that
greets the eye on the south of the
state house, has in charge the D. A.
R. monument to the three partisan
generals of the Revolution?Marion,
Sumter and Pickens.
The monument to the partizan gen
erals will be a Doris column of red
granite, Roman in its simplicity, *as
were the lives of the greut Revolu
tionary chieftains. Its height will ap
proximate about 2C feet, although Mr.
Ruckstuhl has not definitely decided
its exact height. The .cap of Its base
will be of white granite. The top cap
will also be of white granite, with 13
stars, symbolizing the III original
states. The column will rest on a bot
tom base of Winnsboro granite, and
will support a bronze statue of Vic
tory, whose anus are outstretuhed to
the world. In her right hand she
grasps a palm, the symbol of victory;
in her left she holds aloft a laurel
wreath of Immortality.
The face of the monument will be
toward Trinity church and will con
tain the Inscription to the three par
tisan generals. The other three sides
will represent tlx? photographs of the
three partlzan generals.
Around the hasc of the column will
be a border II feet square of white
pebbles sunk in cement, edied with
black pebbles. On the sides of the
monument there will be three small
benches, also half circling it will be
a hedge.
Mr. Ruckstuhl says that there arc
only a few columns of this character
in the United States, and that this
one will be the finest in qaullty in
the nation.
The new design has been accepted,
and wil Ibe unveiled november of
next year.
This stately column is to be erect
ed on the eastern side of the stat*
capitol, facing Trinity church, and
will add beauty and historic interest
to the grounds.

DOING A GREAT YVOHK.
Dr. L. M. Roper, a Natii e of this Coun
ty, Winning Many Souls In Virginia.
The following letter, taken from the
Religious Herald, Richmond, Va.. will
be of great interest to the many friends
and relatives of Dr. Roper In this coun
ty.
Dear Herald: You are always glad
to hear the news. It is now our privi
lege to report one of the best meetings
this church and community has ever
had. Brother L. M. Roper, of Peters
burg?, came to us the first week In
September, for eight days and nights
preached the gospel with unwonted
tenderness and power. He captured aM
our hearts from the very start. Ev
erybody was Just simply charmed, and
I have n>>t heard one single adverse
criticism either of his preaching or his
manner.
The pastor counted himself specially
happy to have him as a guest in our
home. His unaffected courtesy, ('brist
ly bearing and happy blend of dignity
and good humor make him a welcome
guest in any Christian home. My chil
dren were particularly fond of him.
and it would not surprise me if he
makes missionaries out of more than
one of them.
Results of the meeting: Twenty-five
additions, backsliders reclaimed, the
church greatly revived, and the whole
community deeply stirred.
I predict that as Dr. Roper's evange
listic gifts become known in Virginia
he will soon have more work than he
can do.
My people do so many nice things
for me that It is hard for me to give
an account of each separate kindness
As an illustration, they made up a
nice purse for my expenses to Virginia
Beach.
Fraternally yours.
J. M. Pearcy.

RINGUNG CIRCUS.
At Greenville, Oct. 23rd. Gre*t Spec,
taele of "Jonn or Arc" Added to
Their Show.
RingUng Brothers' Circus and new
ly added $".00,000 apectable of "Joan
of Arc," will exhibit In Greenville on
Wednesday, October ?3rd. The spec
tacle In Itself is an attraction that
should bring thousands of visitors
from the surrounding country. It is
beyond question the greatest produc
tion of its kind ever seen in America.
The world's most skillful scenic ar
tists, d:>stumers, property-makers,
chorus directors and stage managers
were engaged to mount the produc
tion. A stuge bigger than a hundred
ordinary theatres was built and made
portable so that It can be conveyed
from town to town and erected each
morning In the main tent. Thus the
circus proprietors have made It pos
sible for those who live In contribu
tory towns as well as in the large cit
ies to see this magnificent wordless
piny with Its cast of 1,200 characters,
a ballet of 1100 dancing girls, a grand
opera chorus of 400 voices, G00 horses
and a train load of special scenery,
costumes, properties and mechanical
devices for producing such stage ef
fects as thunder, lightning, storms,
fires and the< sound of battle.
In the old market place of Roen.
Franc e .there now stands a monument i
by which the French of today have
sought to redeem their part in the
execution of Joan of Arc. who on
May HO, 14111, was burned to death on
the false charge of heresy after hav
ing delivered her country from the
English and having restored the crown
to Charles VII. History records but
(he meager facts of this strange hero
ine of eighteen years, who led the
mules of France victorious through
English invasion, and then, deserted
by all, even the indolent monarch
whom she preserved, died by the cruel
cst torture known with the name of j
the master upon her lips. Unsung in
poetry the name of this simple peas
ant girl has come down through the
ages to be revered as that of a saint,
nnd whose wonderful powers and
whose bravery are verily believed to
have been of divine inspiration.
On the triumphant Incident? the
victorius engagements, the final de
feat of the English armies, and the
coronation of Charles VII, all achiev
ed by the frail Maid of Orleans, has
been founded the inspiring spectacle
which gives RingUng Brothers' circus
a new significance and makes an
attraction such as the world in search
ing for amusement has never before
found.
The regular circus program Is more
than ever attractive. Its company of
'M~> fornten artists, its double menag
erie aiiu its new street parade will
prove a great surprise to those who
attend from this city. The event is
one that should not be missed. 1l-2t
