LEE’S STATUE IN NATIONAL MILITARY PARK First Monument to Hero of “The Lost Cause” to be Erected There. Will he Dedicated on June 11. BOSTON. —A clay model of the first statue of a Confederate officer to he erected at the National Military Park, Vicksburg, has just been finished at the studio of Henry Hudson Kitson, at Quincy, a suburb of this city. It represents Lieutenant General Steph en Dill Lee, C. S. A„ as he stood at a critical moment of the siege of Vicks burg, in the eventful summer of 1863. The figure is of colossal size, stand ing nine feet high. The attitude is one of expectancy —of momentary rest before decisive action. The left leg is raised and thrown forward, and the unsheathed sword, held in both hands, rests upon it, the scabbard hanging naturally by the side. IN Full Uniform. The accoutrements are the familiar ones of the wearers of the grey. The insignia of rank appears on the cbl lar. The buttons, in high relief, hear the eagle and 11 stars. The sculptor has been especially attentive to the textures, showing unmistakably the quality of felt in the hat, the smooth ness of the leather on the sides of the boots where they rub against sad dle or horse, the character of broad cloth of the military coat, and of the hea y leather gauntlets beneath which the strongly modeled hands are felt. * These and other details have been executed carefully, but with an evi dent intent not to detract from the main purpose of the work, which aims to create a faithful likeness of one of the best beloved of generals on either side of the late unpleasantness. Thq modeling Is distinguished by a great deal of “color;" advantage is taken of deep masses of shadow to empha size important forms in the light and half light. Sculptor Worked Hard. In his preliminary studies for this work, which will be of exceptional interest to the whole South, Mr. Kit son has not only had access to various documents and relics of greatest value but he has been helped by Impres sions formed during a personal friend ship with General ljce, extending over several years before his death in 1908. He had charge of the erection of the Massachusetts state monument for Vicksburg, one of the earliest, to be consigned to the new national park. Mr. Kitson practically took charge of the preliminary dedication ar rangements which brought the Mas sachusetts governor and other offi cials down to the Mississippi city, gave them the time of their lives, and did perhaps as much as any one event in many years to promote a feeling of amity between the states. A close intimacy was formed at that time between General Lee, who waa a member of . the park commission, and the energetic northern sculptor. Made Small Models. Besides the large statue which lias just been completed Mr. Kitson lias practically finished at. his studio in Quincy a model of a bust of General Lee of which two copies are to be cast in bronze, one for the Agricul tural and Mechanical College of Mis sissippi, of which the ex-Confeder ate leader was president for many years; the other for the city of Co lumbus, Mississippi, which was his home town. This work represents the general as thousands of Amer icans have known and admired him in his later career. The larger model Is just about to be sent to a bronze founder’s in New York, where it will be cast in accord ance with the best present day prac tice. It will be ready, barring acci dents which are unlikely, in time for the dedication on June 11, one of the days when the United Confederate Veterans will be In session at Mem phis, Tenn., making a special excur sion to Vicksburg. Its location will be on Confederate avenue, near the railroad redoubt and opposite the lowa State Memorial, an appropri ate placing since it was the boys from lowa who assaulted the fort which General Lee defended with great, skill and bravery during the •lege.

The first monument of a leader of >ke Lost Cause to be installed at the National Military Park represents contributions from many sources, north and south. It was made pos sible largely through the devoted en ergy and initiative of Captain Wil liam T. Rigby, rhairman of the na tional military park commission, who as an lowa soldier fought against General in ’63, and who as an associate in the work of the commis sion becaipe one of his warmest friends and admirers. No man in 1 fie whole south will be happier than Cap tain Rigby when the memorial is ip place. This is the third important com mission which Mr. Kitson has done for Vlciosburg, the preceding ones having been monuments for the states of Massachusetts and lowa. He has also recently finished for dedication at Paducah, Ky., on May 15, a full length statue of General Lloyd Tllgh man, who was killed by a cannon ball at Champion’s Hill during the Vicks burg campaign. The sculptor is an Englishman by birth, who came to this country when twelve years old and who, after the usual difficulties and privations of the art student, became one of tie foro niost of American sculptors. He hold 3 the decoration of the Royal Order of Bene Merentl from the King of Rou mania, medals from the expositions at Paris, 1889; Chicago, 1893; Paris, 1900 and numerous other honors. His wife, who was Miss Theo Alice Ruggles, Is one of the world’s best known wo men sculptors. Mr. Kitson expects ,to be at Vick&burg at the dedication of the Leb memorial in June. VANCE SOCIAL NEWS.

EGG INDUSTRY OF VITAL IMPORTANCE Much Money is Lost in Spoiling of Eggs. Evil May Be Avoided if Studied Properly. WASHINGTON, I). C.—Millions of dollars are carried down the sewers of the country- In the shape of “had" eggs, according to Milo M. Hastings, scientific assistant of the bureau of animal industry of the department of agriculture. He has just completed some interesting results of a study made during the past year of the con ditions surrounding the production and marketing of eggs, with a view to determining causes of deterioration in quality and consequent loss. Mr. Hastings’ observations aro presented in a bulletin entitled, “The egg trade of the United States.” In this publi cation he calls attention toi the enor mous lobb due to the spoiling of eggs, which it is pointed out could largely be prevented by improved methods Educate Egg Producers. Briefly, Mr. Hastings points out the necessity first for a campaign of education among egg producers that will show every farmer’s wife that when eggs are allowed to remain in damp nests, under broody hens, or In hot kitchens there Is a loss In quality which means an actual loss of money to herself and to her neighbors; and, secondly, a system of buying eggs ex actly in accordance with wtiat those eggs are worth. “Although an individual farmer may appear to make a few cents by holding or picking his eggs," says Mr. IlatlngH i “the gain is apparent only, for the de struction of wealth involved in the in jury to the quality of the egg must be borne by the farmer himself. Above all else, the infallible rule concerning the marketing of eggs is for the farm er to sell his eggs bh soon as possible after they are laid.” Poultry Induatry Growing. The great, bulk of the poultry wealth of the country Is produced by the general farms of the Mississippi Valley, and it Is also in this region that the most rapid incresase In pro duction is shown. Some idea of the rapid growth of this industry In this region may be gained from the figures for Kansas, the value of poultry and eggs sold In that stale increasing from *6,498,856 in 1903 to *10,300,082 in 1907. Demand Exceed* Supply. In spite of the rapid increase in the production of poultry products, the supply has not kept pace with the demand. The price of eggs for the last ten or twelve years has shown not only an absolute rise, but also a relative rise when compared with the general average of values of either farm crops or food products. Attention is called to the fact that the quality of American eggs In the FINANCIAL THE NATIONAL BANK OF AUGUSTA 707 BROAD STREET. IN OPERATION 43 YEARB.

In pointing out that freslhness is not the only vital point of quality .in eggs, Mr. Hastings states that he ac tual age of nn egg is only one of the factors which affect the quality. An egg 48 hours old that has lain in a wheat shock during a warm July rain would probably be swarming with bac teria and be absolutely unfit for food, while another egg stored eight months in a first classs cold storage room would bo of much better quality. The two changes which cause the greatest objection to eggs are due to the de velopment of the embryo chick or smelling hydrogen-sulphide gas. Detrimental Chanqos. Concerning the detrimental changes In eggs and the consequent financial losses it is shown that the amount of such losses \lo the trade caused by needless deterioration runs Into very largo figures. The absolute preven tion of loss cannot he attained, Mr Hastings points out, but the osttina tion and classification ofthe cost of deterioration should serve to call at tention to its extent and to show where the remedy Is most neoded. Summarizing, It is found that, the lohb from each class as compared with the total value of the nation’s egg crop is about as follows: Dirty eggs 2 per cent; breakage 2 per cent ; chicks de velopment 5 per cent; shrunken or held eggs, 5 per cent; rotten eggs 2 1-2 per cent; moldy and had flavored eggs 1-2 per cent, making a total of 17 per cent loss sustained by deteriora tion in the egg crop of the United (Matos. Mr. Hastings declares that while the loss from curtailed consumption, due to deterioration in eggs cannot be estimated, it is apparent that if high quality in eggs were tho rule rather than the exception. It would result no only in a gain by decreasing the losses due to deterioration, but in an even greater gain from an Increase in the general price level. Good Egqo Valuable. "Tho eggs of the United States are wortli much more laid than they are wnen they reach the consumer,’’ says Mr. Hastings. "If they reached the consumer in good condition ho would pay a greater price and would re ceive better eggs and more of them. In summarizing his conclusions, Mr. Hastings states: "The loss iu this country duo to the actual spoiling of eggs constitutes an enormous waste, which could in a large measure be saved were eggs given reasonable care from the time of laying until they reach the con sumer. Egg Crop Important. “There are two main reasons why such care is not being given: “I.ack of realization of the Import ance of the egg crop and ignorance of the correct method of caring for the product; because with our present system the Individual farmer, and In the west the Individual storekeeper as well are not financially rewarded for their greater pains nor held account able for gross carelessness which may amount to actual dishonesty. Ideal %gg Trade. "The Ideal condition of the egg trade Is to bring the Intelligent dealer who wants quality and will pay for It into close touch with- the producer. Fvery factor In the egg trade that pre vents tills is detrimental to the pro gress of this important branch of In tensive agriculture. Handicap to Trade. "The greatest handicap to the egg trade is the genera! store with Its cus tom of bartering merchandise for eggs. The storekeeper reckons his profits on goods as more than his loss on eggs. He does not try to enforce im- PAGE NINE FINANCIAL provoments upon his patrons by buy ing on a quality basis, and by the advantage his peculiar position gives hirn ho keeps other egg buyers from doing so. "The cure for this evil consists In teaching the farmer utid the merchant tlial the present method of trading Is upon a falHo luihls, which Is of no real advantage to either, but Is in reality a great disadvantage to both In that it causoH an actual loss of wealth which must he borne by the community. When such an under standing is established the commun ity Is ready for some plan buying eggs lhat will pay tho producer In ac cordance with the actual worth of the product. This done and a market found where the Improved goods will be recognized and paid for, the future of the egg and poultry Industry in that community is simply a matter of pa tience and perseverance.” WEST END PERSONALS Ilov.
