GEORGIA TO HONOR MEMORY OF OGLETHORPE
Savannah.—Savannah is making ex
tensive arrangements to entertain a
vast number of people on the occa
sion of the unveiling of a bronze
Uatue to the memory of Gen. James
Edward Oglethorpe, the founder of
the colony, on November 23. Three
days have been set aside for the event
which will be a great military pa
geant in recognition of the genius of
Oglethorpe as a soldier. A vast num
ber of state and Federal troops will
be present, while gunboats and bat
tleships representing the navies of
the United States and England, Og
lethorpe’s native country, will rendez
vous in the harbor.
The monument is the work of Dan
iel Chester French, the noted New
York sculptor. The bronze figure rep
resents Oglethorpe in the uniform of
a British general of the period in
which he lived. The figure stands
ten feet in height, and faces to the
South —over the city which Oglethorpe
founded and towards the Spanish set
tlements to the South, which troubled
and harassed the young colony for
many years. The base of the monu
ment and its shaft reach a total
height of sixteen feet. The shaft and
base are of Georgia marble. Upon

the four corners of the second base
are four crouched lions, supporting,
with their bodies, shields on which
are inscribed the coat-of-arms of Og
lethorpe, a wild boar's head carrying
in his mouth a sprig of oak containing
acorns; the coat-of-arms of the col
ony, and the great seals of Georgia
and of the city of Savannah.
The unveiling ceremonies will take
place on the morning of Wednesday,
November 23. It will be preceded by
a street parade in which all the mil
itary of the city, both state and Fed
eral, and the blue jackets in the har
bor, will participate. The parade will
be followed by a great military re
view in Forsyth park extension, where
the assembled troops will salute the
governor of the state, the non. Joseph

Jhe afternoon and an exhibition drill

On the morning of Thursday, which

The exact spot on which Tomo-Chi-

The inscription upon the southern
facing of the pedestal of the Ogle
thorpe monument sets forth that it
was erected by the state of Georgia,
the city of Savannah and the patriot
ic societies of the state, in honor of
the great soldier, statesman and phi
lanthropist, James Edward Ogle
thorpe, who founded upon the Georgia
.-.bores a refuge for the honest debt
ors of England, who were languishing
In prisons because of their inability
to pay their debts. Georgia has al
ways remained a refuge for the perse
cuted and a haven for those who are
iespitefully used.
Oglethorpe was chairman of a com
mission in England, which investigat
ed the condition of prisons and their
systems. It was this investigation
which brought to the front the con
dition of hundreds of debtors who had
been thrown into prison, not through
any criminal negligence, but merely
because of unfortunate circumstances
which debarred them from the pay
ment of their dbets. Being in jail
there was, of course, no way open to
them for the recoupment of their
fallen fortunes. They were destined
to languish there indefinitely. Ogle
thorpe secured permission from the
crown to colonize these people upon
the English possessions in Georgia,
where they might obtain a fresh start
in life. Thus the colony of Georgia
came into existence.
Oglethorpse remained in Georgia
about thirty years. He paid a visit
to England the second year after the
founding of the colony, taking Tomo-
Chi-Chi and his queen and several of
his chieftains with him, in order to
impress them with the strength of the
English people and the futility of
their undertaking to drive them away
from their holdings in the new world.
Upon his return he brought back with
him tiie tw*o Wesleys, John and
Charles, and thus gave chance for
birth upon these shores of a new re
ligious cult.
Oglethorpe lies buried in the old
churchyard at Cranham Hall, Essex,
England. A picture of the old church
and of the gates leading to the gar
deu of Oglethorpe's estate, were re
cently presented to the Georgia His
torical society by the Rev. C. Brax
ton Bryan of Petersburg, Va. The
hedge leading to this gate is 12 feet
thick and 12 feet high.
The monument stands in Chippewa
square, near enough to the northern
extremity of the city to be within
the zone laid ouf by Oglethorpe him
self. This square is one of several
arranged by the founders as a place
of refuge for the inhabitants in case
of trouble with the Indians. It is
within sight of the place of the first
landing on one side arid within a
stone s throw of the grave of Tomo-
Chi-Chi on the other.

Increased Capacity for
Since Leaving Off Coffee.
Many former coffee drinkers who,
have mental work to perform, day
after day. have found a better capact
ty and greater endurance by using
Postum instead of ordinary coffee. An
Illinois woman writes:
“I had drank eoffee for about twen
ty years, and finally had what the
doctor called ‘coffee heart.’ 1 was/
nervous and extremely despondent;!
had little mental or physical strength,!
left, had kidney trouble and constipa-1
tlon. *
“The first noticeable benefit derived
from the change from coffee to Post am
was the natural action of the kidnsyn l
and bowels. In two 'weeks my heart
action was greatly improved and my
nerves steady.
“Then I became less despondent,
and the desire to be active agalni
showed proof of renewed physical and
mental strength.
“I am steadily gaining in physical
strength and brain power. I formerly
did mental work and had to give it up
on account of coffee, but since using
Postum I am doing hard mental labori
with less fatigue than ever before.”
