801 l Weevil Molasses
After having been solicited by the business men of
Jefferson and a large number of the farmers in this
section to handle Blackstrap Molasses for use in boll
weevil poisoning, and having one sixteen thousand
gallon storage tank not in service, I have decided to
handle the molasses in tank car lots, keeping on hand
a large supply at all times, giving the public the bene
fit of tank car prices, which is much cheaper than bar
rel prices.
The stock has been carefully selected for use of
boll weevil poisoning, and guaranteed to contain
over fifty per cent combined sugar.
First shipment will be made about February 25th,
and from that time on throughout the season I can
supply your requirements from five gallons to five
thousand gallons. For further information, see me at
the Texas Cos. Warehouse, Jefferson, Ga.; or Mr.
T. S. Johnson, at Farmers Unifln Warehouse, Jeffer
son, Ga.

‘Unnumbered Ages Look
Down on Work’—
Durham
Supreme Monument of Mankind To
Inspire Future To Greatness,
He Declares
Following is the address in part of
Dr. Plato Durham at the unveiling
Saturday of the first completed ’work
in the Stone Mountain Confederate
Memorial:
• * *
We gather today in the presence of
many sumlimities. Here is this moun
tain, lone sentinel along the path of
cosmic cycles, bringing our lips al
most to silence in the presence of its
grandeur. It receives anew immor-!
tality today. Again there transpires
invisibly at this moment another
thing of interest. A sculptor rises
to take his place among the world’s
illustrious dreamers. The dullest
imagination among us can easily dis
cern that this mountain takes upon
its tongue the name of him who
dreamed this mighty dream, who,
with much of Grecian gift for beauty
and more than Roman genius of
construction, discloses today his dar
ing vision in stone—the name of
Borglum.
Unnumbered Age*
Again, the dullest imagination can
also discern that we stand in the
presence of unnumbered ages. We
can easily see the long, long genera
tions take up their march by this
mountain memorial. You have only
to gather your soul into silence, to
close your eyes and ears of flesh, and
upon your ears of spirit will fall the
rhythmic tramp of the feet of the
generations that are to come march
ing down, upon your eyes of spirit
will fall the vision of the great and
unending procession, until that vision
stops at time’s ultimate horizon; and
unto each of the passing generations
will this mountain speak its word.
Another presence here! It is Amer
ica, within her heart the ancient
wound of war, upon her face the
wistful love of her children, in her
eyes the light of the world, waiting
to hear what we shall say and, if we
be worthy, to give the blessed bene
diction of her soul.
Let us think of Lee the American,
Of Lee, of Virginia, one would de
light to speak. But on that theme the
song and story of an age has spoken,
Of Lee, the captain, history long ago
has written a final word.
Daring Experiment
In the beginning our fathers had
adventured upon a daring and glo
rious experiment in government that
was, thank God, to find at last its
high realization. Sovereign natrons
were to form another sovereignty,
the one for local liberty, the other
for greater unity. From the begin
ning this ideal grew, finding progres
sive definition and was finding itself
Lee lived. In his heart indubitably
were these two great fealties.
But in the process of self-realiza
tion these great loves oppose. Let
us cease for the moment to constitu
tionalize, to turn the pages of pon
derous volumes, of law. Let us turn
to this absorbing human drama. The
muse of tragedy has all her stage
arranged. Great heart, great love,
hopeless conflict. The playing out
of that drama shook civilization and
its denouement is written on the
page of time’s overmastering sorrow.
Lee the Virginian, and Lee the
American were seeking in bitter tears
to find a unity in the heart of Lee
the man. Who does not thank God
that Lee the American was permit
ted to emerge at last, to Lee of Vir
ginia, the sconscience of mankind
having said, “Nobly done,’’ his
sword sheathed in honor and with
an immortal light lying upon its
blade, the crashing of the terrible
music of the tragedy’s finale reced
ing into hi3tcry and his suffering
heart at rest. *
Larger Drama
When we see the larger drama all
things lie plain and simple as actp
in its historic outplaying. Night is
upon the world. On the portico of
prindtly Arlington a great and mar
shal figure stalks to and fro. Far
across the waters of the Potomac
the lights of the nation’s capital flash
through the night. Silence and peace
seem to wrap the world. But that
historic figure paces on a sentinel
beat that \va3 to become a part of
the history of the human spirit. Un
der his feet Virginia’s soil, iir his
heart a candle burning before her
name, in his eye the lights of his
nation’s capital, in his hand the of
fer of the command of her armies.
In mere justice, in sympathetic sor
row, let the world be silent ao the
eagle loves clash in the high altitudes
of this man’s souh As under tho
stars of night, surely pale ar.d breath
less to see, he makes his choice. Who
can gi/c tongue tc bitterness in th"
presence of so great an onset of all
the grinds of tragedy? History is tc
I be praised, America is to be praised
that they stand here uncovered.
Final Moment
But the drama hastens to its final
1 moment. The denouement waits for
the word in the wings of history's
stage. It is the Gay of Appomattox.
Lee is looking far across the fields
with eyes that seem to see some in
visible presence. What vision is
opening to those eyes? We can eas
ily imagine. All is lost. Defeat is
inevitable. He knows the story of
war. Around that word defeat that
history is writing opposite his name
it is possible to draw a final glory. A
phrase is ringing in his ear: “The old
guard dies but never surrenders.”
His worshipping soldiers are weep- '
ing and calling to him to let the word
go forth and in one last leap of valor
they will fling the pallid glory of I
their death over all the darkness of
history’s story of defeat.
Now look upon this splendor. Lee
mounts his battle charger. Through
the line of his weeping men he rides
upon one of history’s greatest quests.
He is seeking a gate through which
his men and his people may pass into
life, not death, a gate into the tomor :
row, into a greater America. And:
he rode to lay down his sword. As he (
makes his progress into the presence
of the magnanimous Grant the shad
ows of his defeat are being ilium-'
ined by a light. It is the light from
the face of man wrapping him in his
tory’s benediction.
Glory To Lee
i Let this be said now and forever
more; if today we Americans are one;
if not in government alone but in
heart, as well, we are united, if bit
terness is gone, if the red line of war
is effaced, if in mutual sympathy and
understanding we look to the great
beacons of liberty and justice, if we
face all one way, much of the fine
glory of this achievement must at
tach forever to the name of Lee. So
great and wonderful was his leader
ship back into the house of America
that today in no section of this land
can you find a more deathless devo
tion to the flag than among the sons
of Lee. That devotion has been at
tested in every crisis when America’s
life was in danger of her flag has led
on to battle. '
To the answer of the call of the
President of the United States in
the war with Spain we came to the
flag in sufficient numbers to fill all
the ranks of America’s Army. On
the 29th of September, 1918, two
American divisions faced the Hin
denberg line. Who were they? Per
shing, in a great moment, had selec
ted for that world rocking and final
blow the Twenty-Seventh, the sons of
Grant, and the Thirtieth, the sons of
Lee.
Bitter Travail
What, then, is the verdict of our
hearts? What is the verdict of his
tory? What is the verdict of man
kind? Into that verdict must go the
knowledge that the bitter travail
through which America came to her
greater birth was reproduced in the
soul of Lee, and that he takes his
place, therefore, not alone with the
great commanders and great charac
ters, but also with history’s vicarious
suffers. It is also that in the
heartrending test he was found not
wanting, but bared to the ultimate
pain a heart worthy of so high if
tragic destiny. It is that he must
stand forevermore among the com
pany of great Americans.
The story of this achievement by
the great commander and the people
whom he led is not to die. Today
we give a tongue that will not cease
to tell it so long as the generations
pass. If it should be handed on, if
we owe it to all yet unborn, to keep
evermore for their inspiration this
high heritage, it must not be left
merely to the written word of his
tory. That word is great but, not
sufficiently great.
Higher Valuei
The printed page is often without
perspective and can carry so little of
the invisible, imponderable, higher
values that no phrases of dull prose
were ever yet able to express. To
the artist’s hand alone, to the sin
ger’s tongue, is given the fine art of
catching and fixing in noble form
those emphases, those ineffable mean
ings, those overtones of emotion and
of dream, which are the real beauty
ard immortality of the epic of man’s
soul. This we do today.
Today the soul of a really great
artist gathers the meanings, the over
tones, the invisible splendors into a
sculpture that is given the immor
tality of beauty. That deathless
beauty bears in its heart another
undying value, the story of a tragic
and valorous fealty in one of his
tory’s high and fateful moments; and
this beauty and this epic theme are
lifted on the breast of grandeur. The
soul of Lee, the vision beautiful of
the artist, the lofty and even awful
üblimity of this mountain’s heart! In
this trinity of undying values this
memorial becomes the overshadow
ing monument of man.
Outlives Pyramids
Far outlifting and outliving Egyp
tian pyramids, outsoaring Thorward
son’s Lion as an eagle rises above
the brood of weaker wing, earth's
geatest temples disappearing as &
speck in the vast proportions of its
reach and altitude, this single stone
lifts to our eyes today probably the
supreme monument of mankind. N®
generation of youths shall ever pass
this way and be the same again. hi
their hearts will burn the light of the
inspiration of this ineffable syznboL
No ignoble sentiments may live ilk
the presence of the beacon of ideal
ism which we light today. A mighty
dream receives a fitting form, ami
history a worthy tongue. We trans
fer this monument to the American
people, wet with our tears, shining
with our devotion.
Oh, mountain, speak your mesaaga
well! When the rain of heaven beate
upon your majestic face, let all men
say: Lee is weeping from the sor
rows of a people. When the sun ot
morning strikes along your
let mankind behold a newer Sol In
victus and exclaim: “The Invincibla
Light!” Let no winds ever hit
through your lips of stone, but, mov
ing, make the music of an undying
benediction. And when at last
through cosmic cycles grain by grain
you become a brother to the lonfy
dust your message will still live In
mortal as the valor and the worth af
the soul of Lee!

that the recent cold spells have not
killed the pesky boll weevil. They
are finding the m daily where they
have hibernated for the winter and
the cold hasn’t touched them. .
This discovery will no doubt hlp
cut the cotton acreage ; n Hancock

gram which has been adopted Ih
for a few acres of cotton, corn, pea
nuts, beans, peas and potatoes. While
possibly a few acres of tobacco xnE
be planted.
