C.—Jack Landingham, a veteran of the World war and a col lege man, convicted in Buncombe coun ty of forgery and false pretense, and sentenced to serve a total from ten to twelve years, is an artist cf merit, with a leaning toward sculpture. The youth’s first work was a model of Amelia Earhart made from a news paper photograph. The figure was carved out of concrete. The_ young sculptor contracted a bone felon on his hand from working so hard a surface, but he created a striking like ness of the young aviatrix. Officials saw the statue of the girl. It Is the policy of the Institution to en courage the prisoners to learn useful trades. Superintendent George Ross Pou made Landingham a present of a few sacks of plaster of parls, and gave his permission to continue his artistic pursuits outside his working hours. A newspaper likeness of “The Hap py Warrior,” Alfred E. Smith, on his tour through the South, caught the eye of the young sculptor. He caught the Democratic candidate in a charac teristic pose. It is one of the most striking figures that the young man has accomplished to date. Works in CeM. When Landingham lays down his pipe wrench at the end of a day of hard work, he carefully lifts a wet tow sack, beneath which is a mass of moistened plaster of parts and a hunk of modeling clay. This material the youth carries to his cell. In his cell after supper he takes a picture and, using it as a model, adds the finishing touches to his clay out line. He places the model above the lump of plaster and starts on his mas terpiece. His tools are a blunt pocket knife, a five-inch piece of steel spring, a whet stone and a small sponge. Landingham’s most recent product Is a lion. At times he sat far into the night perfecting it. He has the permission of the prison authorities to keep late hours. Landingham has carved a very good likeness of Edwin Pou, eldest son of the prison superintendent. He has al so perfected busts of the other Pou children, and one of the youngest son of Dr. J. H. Norman. Another strik ing example of his work is a copy of the “Dying Gladiator.” Jack Landingham was born in Knox ville, Tenn., thirty-two years ago. He spent some time as an art student at the Rice Institute in Texas. Then the war started, and young Landingham was sent overseas. He carries seven nest. His companions on that adven ture are dead. He came back to this country job less and penniless. He accepted a po sition with an advertising outfit — smart fellows who sold their scheme to a community and then went their way. Landingham later began busi ness for himself. Overlooked Formality. He worked various cities in the West before entering North Carolina. He Invaded Asheville, where there is in operation an ordinance that requires each advertising agency to pay a fee of SBO. Landingham started business Without attending to this formality. The Merchants’ association got be hind him. He bad by this time in vested all his money in the proposi tion and had none left with which to pay his license. An automobile dealer backed out of his contract and took his license off the car. Half the merchants declined to pay their part, while the other half insisted that he carry out his contract. The merchants threatened to have him arrested on a charge of fraud. Landingham became frightened and Jumped the town. The merchants who had hit on the scheme swore out warrants for his arrest. He thought the fact he ran away would convict him, so he pleaded guilty. Behind it all is an unrequited love tiffair of his college days—a romance which resulted in the other man win ning the girl while Jack fought the Huns. Then came wandering over the world to forget memories of brown eyes and laughing lips; to keep his hands from modeling figures of her who first inspired him; to forget the blood-covered fields of France—wan dering that landed him finally behind prison walls. 19 Skeletons Dug Up in Old Berlin Church Berlin.—ln the course of renovat ing the Klosterkirche, the oldest church of Berlin, the workmen under their ecclesiastical expert, Doctor Steinberger, discovered a subterranean tomb filled with 18 skeletons of wom en that were identified as remains of the Eighteenth century. The skele tons were exhumed and buried else where. Within the last two centuries the Klosterkirche, built during the latter part of the Thirteenth century, has repeatedly proved a treasure trove for historical relics. Only last year a two-hundred-year-old sepulcher was unearthed, though neither in that nor in the present burial place were any objects of art value found. - Gently Tapping Rochester, N. Y.—There was an in sistent tapping, as of some one gently rapping, at Mrs. George Ranker’s win dow. It was not a black raven, but a white carrier pigeon, friendly and an utter stranger. THE BULLETIN, IRWINTON, GEORGIA. GEORGIANS ENACT < OLD GOLD RUSH See Conquest for Yellow Metal in Hills. Dahlonega, Ga.—They are digging for gold again in the hills around Dahlonega, scene of a famous rush early in the Nineteenth century. Mes are swinging picks and shovels, searching for the metal that lured 5,000 fortune seekers, frenzied miners,- over rugged mountain paths to this town, sixteen miles from a railroad, when news of the big strike in 1829 went around the world. Gold mining around Dahlonega has been lagging since the World war, when ipcreased wages and operating costs cut into the profits. The Civil war resulted In the shut ting down here of a branch of the United States mint in 1861, after it had coined 1,381,784 pieces, valued at $6,115,569, in its twenty-Aur years of operation. D. S. W. McCallie, state geologist, says while the coinage of the mint was only slightly above $6,- 000,000, that the mountains around Dahlonega have produced at least $lO,- 000,000 in gold. The mint was not established here until 1838, about ten years after the first gold was found. Two companies, operating ten or more mines, have started operations here on a modest scale. There is nothing of a frenzy about Dahlonega’s gold digging this time. Doctor Mc- Callie says he believes the mines can be made to pay if the work is carried on by trained geologists and mining engineers. He calls attention to the fact that the profits from the Dah lonega gold mines had greatly dwin dled when the first gold was found In California in 1848. Dahlonega residents do not antici pate a new gold rush. William Ben jamin Franklin Townsend, quaint old editor of the town’s weekly newspaper, The Nugget, says he believes there is gold in the mountains “if you know where and how to find it.” When the government abandoned the Dahlonega mint the buildings and grounds were given to the state for the North Georgia Agricultural col lege. A number of buildings, reminis cent of gold-mining boom days, still stand. Table Salt Substitute for Ailing Is Discovered Atlantic City, N. J. —Dr. John C. Krantz, Jr., chemist and lecturer at Johns Hopkins hospital, announced at a joint meeting of the state boards of pharmacy and delegates from the fac ulties of colleges of pharmacy of the East, the discovery of Eka salt, a sub- Eka salt is a sodium salt of malic acid. Malic acid is obtained from ap ples. It satisfies the craving for salt, according to Doctor Krantz, and its reaction in the body is quite different from that of common salt. “The ordinary table salt,” he said, "tends to create water in the body. The new sodium salt of the acid is burned up or metabolized in the body and serves as an alkali-producing food and tends to counteract acidosis. Be cause it is burned up or metabolized, it does not tax the kidneys.” Old Yankee Clipper Anchors in Thames London.—Ancient galleons and Amer ican clippers vie for honors in an ex hibition of old ships models now draw ing crowds of children —and grown ups, too—to the Friend Ship, a beauti ful old three-masted vessel which, un der American auspices, has been an chored in the Thames as a clubhouse. Among the most interesting exhibits is a model, made in 1730, of an Ameri can clipper of the 16-gun corvette type. An Elizabethan galleon nearby makes a striking contrast. Other favorite models are an Italian felucca such as used to fight the Moorish pirates, a two-decker fighting ship of the Nelson type and a fine model of a Norwegian fruit carrier. Folding Cello New York.—Livingston Welch, lit terateur and musician, has invented a folding cello that can be put in a suit case. Indian Factions in Row Over Necklace Poncha City, Okla.—Charles H. Burke, Indian commissioner, has been asked to referee the controversy between two promi nent Otoe Indian families over the ownership of a bear claw necklace. The necklace has been an adornment of the head chief for several generations. It was originally the property of Chief Two Strike in Nebraska and later adorned Two Killer, Medi cine Horse and others. After the tribe had been moved to its reservation near here the necklace came mto the possession of Medicine Horse, the tribal chief but not a lineal descendants of Chief Two Strike. Members of the Green family. Chief Two Strike’s descendants, contend the necklace belongs to them. The Medicine Horse fac tion insist the necklace is the property of the chief and serves in lieu of a crown. BELGIAN ORPHAN TO GET U. S. CITIZENSHIP Wins Out in Long Struggle to Become Yankee. Nashville, Tenn. —This is another story about a man without a country —but this one will end uappily. Back in 1914, when the German armies struck at France through Bel gium, a Belgian soldier was killed by the invaders and his family scattered. The soldier’s son, Albert, then aged nine, found himself suddenly an orphan, fleeing with other refugees into France. Through the first three years of the war, Albert lived as a waif behind the allied lines, picking up food where lie could, and sleeping any place where a shell was not likely to strike. Then in 1918 came the Americans to aid the French and English and Albert’s stricken countrymen. The boy liked the’new soldiers, par ticularly the Fifth regiment of ma rines. So he followed the Fifth through the final victorious days of the war, as mascot. Befriended by Sergeant. With the marines was Sergeant Ted Vaughan of Nashville, who befriend ed the waif, and soon became the boy’s idol. Albert's objectives in life narrowed down to three: To lick the Germans, to be near Vaughan, and to become an American, like the soldiers of the Fifth. Then came the armistice, and the first of Albert’s desires was attained. But after the armistice it was time for Vaughan to embark with the ma rines for America. Albert —by this time known as Al bert Vaughan—clamored to be taken to America with his protector. But army regulations forbade taking the boy on "board the transport ship, so Vaughan paid a French woman in Brest to keep the lad until money could be sent to bring him to Amer ica. One day Albert disappeared. A week later Vaughan, in Nashville, re ceived a wire from a sailor on Ln American freighter saying that Albert had stowed away aboard the ship, and had landed at Norfolk, Va. Albert was brought to the Vaughan home here and became to all outward appearances Vaughan's adopted son. He attended American schools, and learned to speak the American tongue with but.a trace of accent. But, for reasons inexplicable to him, the American government would not allow him to become a citizen. It also refused to let Sergeant Vaughan adopt tike boy. Lave. , secure citizenship for him. The boy grew to be a young man. with his status still in doubt, and no legal means of making him an American available. Then the inevitable happened. Al bert, now twenty-one years old, fell in love —with an American girl. They were married. Albert went again to the American government. He had everything now that goes to make an American, he told the officials, excepting citizenship papers. The government pondered. Well, it finally agreed, if Albert were to leave the country, and his American wife were to ask the government to make her husband an American too —then maybe . . . And so it is to be done. Albert will go outside the boundaries of the United States. His wife will peti tion the government, and after ten years of waiting and hoping, the Bel gian war orphan will become a citi zen of the United States.
