Representa tive Webb has written Secretary Taft asking for a date when It will suit htm to go over th detail for the erection of the monument authorlxed by th last Congress at King' Moun tain.

The descendants of many of the men who took part In the bat tle of King's Mountain are still living aiound Shelby and Spartanburg. In the latter place are John B. and Jess Cleveland, both prominent cltlxena. Mr. Webb was here a few days ago. but on account of the absence of Secretary Taft from the city at that time, nothing could be done toward arranging the detail for the erection of the monument. It Is the Intention of Mr. Webb to take the matter up with Secretary Taft at once and push the work of construction with all possible haste. It Is understood that th monument association, which haa been vlgi'ant In th movement, I anxious m the work of erection begin. It is nlo understood that the assocj'.tlon ha acquired the lajid aroun-i the spot where It Is proposed to ect the mon ument, as this waai n of the re quirements of the act. Mr. Webb .believes that, as soon a he has mi opportunity to go over th mattsr with Secretary Taft, the work vf erecting tfta. monument will beglu. PIT OUT TICKET.
