In the Health Swim.
Two plunges daily in a swimming
tank keeps the doctor away, Is the be
lief of Fred L. Eaton, assistant United
States district attorney, who says that
he practices ids preaching by a morn
ing and evening swim in a tank at a
hotel where lie resides, the Detroit
News reports. Mr. Eaton says that
real comradeship is found among
those who frequent the swimming tank
—a comradeship more fraternal and
lasting than that of golf enthusiasts.

“Sorter quaint things happened
whilst I was in town," related Gap
Johnson of Rumpus Ridge, who had
just returned from the county seat. “I
was mixed up In a swap with a feller
when a good sized bunch of ladies,
armed with clubs, hatchets, soap pad
dles and so forth, tore past. Somebody
said they was on their way to run the
mayor and council out of town."
“What in tlie name of goodness had
them officials been doing?” eagerly in
quired Mrs. Johnson.
“How do I know? Didn’t you hear
me say I was mixed up in a swap?”—

Jefferson Is the first American who

THOMAS JEFFER
> SON Memorial Foundn
tion is raising a million
■». dollars l»y popular sub
►; scrlption to acquire Mon
ticello and maintain it as
vwyShfo a national memorial to
P<SY~ tlie man whose hand put
m i Ml ie Declaration of Inde
yftf ftu/l pendence on paper. Tlie
difficulties that have
heretofore prevented the
acquisition of Jefferson’s
Virginia home as a per
manent memorial have been overcome.
Jefferson M. Levy, present owner of
Monticello, whose family has held title
to the property since his uncle. Com
modore Uriah P. Levy of the United
States navy, bought it in 1833, seven
years after Jefferson’s death, has al
ways been an ardent admirer of the
author of the Declaration of Independ
ence and was loath to part with Mon
ticello. Patriotic motives finally in
fluenced him to enter into an agree
ment with the Memorial Foundation.
Monticello was Jefferson’s home
from 1770 till his death, July 4, 1820,
and therefore famous. But with Its
passage out of the possession of the
Jefferson family a little more than a
century ago, it was all but forgotten
by tlie public; not completely, how
ever, because in 1805 tlie legality of
the will of Commodore Uriah Phillips
Levy, leaving the estate to the federal
or to the state government for use as
an agricultural college, or to Hebrew
charity organizations, was contested
in the courts by his family. In 1912 a
bill was introduced in congress by
Representative Martin W. Littleton
providing for the purchase of Monti
cello by the nation. Although tlie
time was propitious because the Dem
ocratic party had just returned to
power, the bill wns not passed, nor
was it In 1917 when it was revived.
Jefferson, as every good American
knows or should know, was third Pres
ident of the United States, 1801-09.
He was born in Virginia April 18, 1743.
He was graduated from William and
Mary college in 17G2 and admitted to
the bar in 1707. He wns member of
the Continental congress, 1775-1776;
member of the committee —Jefferson,
Adams, Slierman, Franklin and Liv
ingston—to draft the Declaration of
Independence; one of the signers; a
leading member of tlie Virginia legis
lature, 1770; governor of Virginia,
1779; member of congress, 1783; min
ister to France, 1781-1789; secretary
of state, 1790-1794, under Washington;
vice president, 1797-ISOI in the ad
ministration of John Adams; founder
of tlie University of Virginia; mar
ried, 1772, Martha Wales Skelton;
died July 4, IS2O, at Monticello; left
one son and five daughters.
While President. Jefferson pursued a
vigorous policy of hence
the phrase "Jeffersonian simplicity.”
He made many political removals from
oflice, the beginning of the “spoils
system” of Jackson’s time. The prin
cipal events of nis administration
were these: The war against Tripoli,
because of piracy against American
vessels; the Louisiana purchase from
France; the passage of the twelfth
amendment to the Constitution; the
duel between Hamilton and Burr and
Burr’s trial for treason; the Lewis
and Clark expedition; Pike's expedi
tion to the Rocky mountains; Eng
land’s assertion of the right to search
American vessels for British desert
ers ; the embargo act; Fulton's Cler
mont In regular service between New
York and Albany; an act prohibiting
the slave trade
HENRY COUNTY WEEKLY, McDONOUGH. GEORGIA.
Montleello Is peculiarly fitted to be
a Jefferson shrine because he himself
planned and built the mansion. Its
location Is about three miles from
Charlotte, the seat of the University
of Virginia, which Jefferson founded.
On every side from the spot which
Jefferson selected as the site of his
home stretch great reaches of some
of the most beautiful country in the
United States.
The site of Jefferson’s birthplace,
Shadwell, Is only a short distance
away. He himself selected the site
for his mountain home, drew the de
signs and plans for the house, select
ed the stone and timber used in the
structure, looked after the construc
tion of the brick and 'he nails made
by his own servants, devised advanced
and ingenious contrivances for com
fort and convenience, designed the
decoration of the interior and per
sonally selected the fumirhings and
ornaments, and not only planned but
gave personal supervision to the lay
ing out of the various buildings on
the estate, the gardens, the walks and
the roadways. Work was begun on
the house in 17G4.
When Shadwell was destroyed by
fire in 1770. Montleello was far enough
completed for the family to move in.
Two years later he brought his bride,
Martha Wayles Skelton, there, al
though a greater part of the house
was still unfinished. Indeed, through
out his life, Montleello continued in
minor ways, as his biographer Raynor
puts it, to be in a state of almost
constant edification and re edification.
In ISO 3, there were still rooms to be
plastered, in ISOS the main house it
self might be said to be completed,
but long after that he experimented
with garden temples and other small
er buildings.
Though architecture was only a
hobby with Jefferson, today he Is ac
claimed a great architect. Anyway
Montleello is not the only example of
his work; he is responsible for the
structure of several other plantation
houses in the neighborhood and took
great delight during his last years in
planning the buildings of the Univer
sity of Virginia and overseeing their
construction.
The exterior of Montleello —“Little
Mountain” —is in the Doric order of
architecture. The interior is in the
lonic style. A portico, the full height
of the house, with stone pillars and
steps projects 25 feet. It is a brick
mansion 100 by 100 feet, with white
pillars, cornices and balustrades sur
mounted by a dome, standing in the
midst of a lawn overlooking river,
woodlands and fertile valley, with s
view of mountains to the west and c:

long extending coastal plains to the
east. The appearance is of one story
and entering the hall one is still de
ceived, for Jefferson disliked stair
cases to such an extent that he shut
them all up In closets. The hall
shows only a gallery on which the
bedrooms open. In the dome Itself
Jefferson planned a billiard room, but
a law was passed by the state before
it was completed, forbidding the game
and so it was left in an unfinished
state. The wings of the house end in
octagonal projections; the northern
one containing the dining room, tea
room and two guest rooms, the south
ern forming Jefferson’s private suite,
sitting room, library and bedroom.
Under the dome on the west is the
great drawing room, famous for its
parquette flooring of native woods and
its pillared portico. There were 552
acres in the estate.
More notable of the architectural
featuresl of the house is the hiding
away of t all signs of kitchen, laundry,
stable and the many workshops nec
essary on a plantation of that period
when almost every article in daily
use was manufactured on the estate
by servants and slaves. The sharp
declivity of the mountain made it pos
sible to have these offices all at a
lower level than the house. A tunnel
from the basement leads right and
left to one-story pavilions, used by
the slaves. By this contrivance dish
washers, cooks, butlers, maids, troops
of slaves with wood for fires, cans of
ashes, pails of hot or cold water did
their work without disturbing the
tranquillity of the family and their
guests. An oddity contrived by Jeffer
son is a dumb-waiter for hoisting
wine from the cellar, with a capacity
of but one bottle.
Montleello, undoubtedly the finest
mansion in that section of Virginia,
cost Its owner, according to his ac
count books, about $7,200. The orna
mental stone was brought from Phil
adelphia to Richmond by water and
hauled from Richmond in carts.
When Jefferson in ISO 9 eompletet
his second term as President, he has
tened to Montleello; there he hoped
to find privacy, freedom and leisure.
In a measure, perhaps, he realized
them. He enjoyed society, but he did
not relish the intrusion of Idle, curi
ous fellow countrymen who came to
stare and finger.
Capt. Edmund Baker, for 20 years
Jeffersrn’s overseer and man of busi
ness, said that Jefferson’s visitors “ate
him out of house and home.” Any
way. on Jefferson’s death the estate
was so impoverished that his heirs
were compelled to part with Monti
cello.
