To Place Memorial
For Boone Here
Tablet To Be Placed In Court House
Square With Exercises By Fitz-,
gerald School Children
(By M, C, Thomas)
The Boone Trail Highway Asso-.
ciation's Special Representative, Mr.
J. H. Rich has been kind enough to
explain to the writer the aims and
purposes of the Association that is
commemorating in such a tangible
way the memory of one of the most
famous pioneers of American history,
Daniel Boone
One of the mos pressing nceds of
the United States today is more and
better roads, and the Association was
organized with the .intention of build
ing highways from coas to coast with
connecting legs tapping the richest
sections of the United States and the
‘World,
The Boone Trail starts at the Yad
kin River where Daniel Boone is bur
ied and the Georgia-Florida Division
starts in the mountains of North Car
olina where Boone lived in 1765 and
comes south following the trail of he
and his companions on a special mis
sion for the British government. This
mission was in connection with the re
capture of Pensacola from the Spanish
and the details of the trip is told in
Thwait's “Life of Daniel Boone” pub
lished by D, Appleton, :
This trail is now being marked with
bronze tablets that are - presented by
the Association to the school children
of the different cities along the route,
and these tablets are dedicated with ap
propriate ceremonies by the children,
At these ceremonies the stirliig qual
ities of this pionecer are strerssed,
Three weeks ago a memorial tablet
was dedicated by the school children
of Jacksonville, ‘and the road north
from this city through Waycross fol
lows a much traveled road to Fitz
gerald. From Fitzgerald on north it
goes through Rochelle, Macon and
Atlanta,
Later an alternate route will be
available marking the route of Boone's
going as well as his return.
Mr, Rich on Thursday arranged
with the County authorities, for the
placing of the local Memorial Tablet,
The exact location has not vet been
decided but it will be somewhere in
the Court House square.
A local unit of the Association is
being formed here to cooperate with
other units in Asheville, Atlanta, Jack
sonville, Waycross and elsewhere, to
ward the securing of State and Fed
eral aid, making available large ap
propriations for the furthering - the
building of roads,
Seventy-nine memorial tablets have
already been placed and dedicated, ev
en as far as Kansas City, Missouri
Recently thirty-two miles of ex
cellent road on the Boone trail, lit
erally dug out of the mountains was
dedicated, The formal opening of
the road taking place on September
7th
According to Mr. Rich the Boone
Trail 3410ws closely the proposed
Parcel Post -Truck Roads that are
contemplated by the Post Office De
partment,
Every school child is more or less
familiar with the life and exploits of
Daniel Boone. There is hardly a
school boy who has not wished him
self posessed of a coon-skin cap, a buck
skin suit and a long barreled muzzle
loading rifle and an environment that
would enable him to sl:»ot Indians
from early in the morning util late
at night without any one offering any
objection, except the Indian, and he
would ignore these to be sure, Some
times he would like to build a fire and
roast a Red Skin—and in playing In
dian you will always find any number
of the voungsters who crave to be
cast in the part of Daniel, but the
Red. Skin parts are passed up just as
long as there is any chance,
WATERS TRANSFER TRUCKS

ors moved the Underseller's entire

Planned Suicide
For Week Ahead
NEW YORK, Nov. 30—Belief that
Col. Charles W, Wahittlesey, medal
of-honor man and commander of the
famous ‘“lost battalion” of the Arg
onne woods, planned at least cight
days in advance for his self-destruc
tion at sea on Sunday, gained ground
Tuesday as new details of recent ac
tions came ‘to light.
On November 18 one weck after
the ‘unknown soldier’ services in
Washington, which is thought to have
added the last fatal burden to a mind
already overburdened with melancho
lia recollections of the horrors of war,
he engaged passage to Havana on the
Toloa, from which he disappeared 24
hours out from New York,
At the time of booking the passage
employees of the ticket office said
he inquired as to ships leaving about
a week later, selected the Toloa at ran
dom and indicated that its first stop
Havana would serve as well as anoth
er for his destination

“Mysterious Woman
With A Band Box”
A mysterious woman with a band
box arrived yesterday and is stopping
'at the Lee-Grant hotel. She is crea
}ting quite a sensation on acount of
‘the contents of her box,
Yesterday morning when the train
pulled in from Atlanta, a most charm
ing little French widow stepped off
the train carrying a mysterious band
box, The madam is enroute to Palm
Beach and has been called to Fitz
gerald by a certain secret organiza
tion, the name of which she refuses
to disclose, but will be announced la
ter. Her dashing appearance at the
station caused such a sensation among
the men that one of our prominent old
bachelors immediately called a meect
ing of his pals at the drug store to
inform them not even to take a second
look at her, However, a local news
paper reporter calied at the hotel for
an interview and found that the mad
ams box not only containéd paint,
powder and other things, but also a
basket of bugs, The bugs are of a
dangerous variety. all kinds and colors
and about the size of a boll-weevil.
But if bitten by any varicty the vic
tim immediately succumbs, So. bach
clors, heware! Your freedom is just
about at an end, for these bugs have
been %known to throw hard-hearted
bachelors into a fever and after the
fever has cooled the bachelor would
propose to the first pretty browneyed
girl he met.
The spinsters of the town are so
elated over the madam’s visit that
they have rented the Grand Theatre
for Friday, December 9th, at wihch
time the madam will give a public
demonstration of what these bugs can
do, All marriageable men of any age
are urged to be present and watch the
exhibition_

China Of All Troops
Resolutions Looking to the Abandon
ment of Extraterritoriality Also
Are Adopted
WASHINGTON, Nov. 29—With
drawal of the foreign troops in Ch'ua!
was agreed upon in principle by the
committee on aFr Eastern policies of
the armament conference Tuesday,
Although it was generally agreed by
all of the delegates that the foreign
troops should be withdrawn from Chi
na, no date was set for such action
nor was a definite agreement drawn,
At the next meeting of the commit
tee it is understood that Japan will set
forth her reasons for keeping troops
in China and will announce her plans
for the future withdrawal of these
|troops,
Resolutions looking to the eventual
abandonment of extra territoriality in
China also were adopted Tuesday.
~ The resolution, it is understood, pro
vides for the appointment of 3 com
mission to study the question of extra
territoriality in China with a view to
gradual abolition of this practice,
The United States takes the view
foreign troops in China have ceased
to perform a useful function, merely
serve to hamper the Chinese govern
ment in the exercise of its own opw
ers, and therefore should bhe with
drawn at an early date, it was learned
on high authority Tuesday,
Withdrawal of foreign guards in
China, officials believe, would not
only bring about a considerable
financial saving to all of the nations
concerned but would obviate the
necessity of maintaining the young
men forming these detachments in
an environment which is harmful to
the maintenance of their morale hoth
as military units and as citizens.
From the point of view of China,
such laction would probably hasten
the development by the Chinese gov
renment of adequate means of protect
ing the lives and property of foreign
ers and would constitute, officials he
lieve an important step in the general
direction of China’s restoration to the
independent status which marked her
existence before the cessfon of certain
sovereign rights to the various treaty
powers.
Foreign troops are used in China for
the following purposes:
1. Protection of foreign life and
property in the open ports.
2., Protection of the diplomatic
body in Pekin,
3. Maintenance of communication
between Pekin and the sea.
4. Protection of the foreign rail
wayvs in general in China,
The function of the foreien guards
of the size at present maintained in
China is principally to prevent mob
