Stone Mountain
Memorial.
The memorial to be carved on Stone
Mountain by Gutzon Borglum as con
ceived by him six years ago is the big
gest undertaking of its kind the world
has ever known. Not only will the
immense smooth surface of the perpen
dicular side of the mountain bear the
carved images of mounted Confederate
heroes, but in its side a huge vault will
be chisled for the display of war relics.
At the base of the mountain is a bowl
like enclosure to be converted into an
umphi-theatre, the like of which has
never been equaled. Facing this the
rising height of great rock is suid to
form natural acconstics that are un-
equaledin any architect!. ’ construction.
It all seems so foreign, so wonderful
to us, that it has not yet fully dawned
upon Georgians as a whole that this
great memorial is to be right here in
our very doors.
It is a special dispensation of Provi
dence that this, the biggest stone in
the world, locuted in Georgia, the em
pire state of the south, should be an
everlasting monument to the Southern
Confederacy.
The memorial is to be financed by
public contributions und no town or
hamlet will be denied a part in the fi
nancing of the great plan.
The Daughters of the Confederacy
naturally will take un initiative purt in
raising the funds. The first sum to be
raised by the Thomson chapter will be
the proceeds from oyster suppers sold
at the masquerade valentine party to
beat the home of Mr and Mrs. B. F.
Johnson Tuesday evening. They ex
pect liberal patronage from the town
and community.
Masquerade Valentine
Party.
The United Daughters of Confeder
acy will give a Musquerade Valentine
purty at the lion of Mr. and Mrs. 1J.
F. Johnson Tuesday evening, Feb. 13,
from 7 to 11 o’clock. A large number
of invitations have been issued to come
in mask and enjoy the evening of fun
and frolic.
Oysters will be served at all times
during the entertainment und quick
service to rush orders will be given.
The affair is the first effort of the
local chapter to raise funds for the
Stone Mountain memorial and the plan
is being filtered into most enthusiastic
ally by the entire membership. It
promises to be t.he largest social event
of the season, the very nature of which
spells success from the beginning.
Remember the time and the place
and to be able to enter into the real
spirit of fun, go in mask.
Spend The Day Party.
Mrs. J. E. Wiley and Mrs. Susie
Lewis entertained last Thursday with a
most delightful spemi-the-day party
assembling a number of congenial
friends. Those included were, Mrs. B,
F. Johnson, Mrs. W. A. Watson, Mrs.
Annie Boyd, Miss Francis Boyd, Miss
Dana Brnith, Mrs. Carrie Mathews,
Mrs. S. F. Morris, Mrs. C. P. Watson,
Mrs. W. E. Hobbs, Mrs. R. L. Huda-
wuy, and Mrs. Jim Wall.
Power of the Sun’s Rays.
Tin un's radiant energy has been
estimated as being equal to that which
would be required to pump from the
ocean enough water to supply a Nia
gara 75,000 miles wide. To equal the
energy which the earth receives from
the sun would call for a row of Nia
garas encircling the earth three times,
with every foot-pound of energy util
ized In electric horse power.
Teachers’ Institute.
The McDuffie county teachers’ insti
tute will be held at the school house
Saturday. It will be attended by a
large number of the county teachers,
and by Mr. Smith, supervisor of the
rural schools and by Miss Caro Lane,
physical education director forG. N. &
I. C, at Milledgeville.
Dinner will be proviped by Mr. M.
W. Dunn, the Woman’s Club and the
Country Life Association and will be
served by the high school girls.
Mountainec.-ing Comparatively New.
Mountaineering for its own sake Is
comparatively recent; eveh since the
invention of photography few people
who have not made an ascent can com
prehend the thrilling uplift of spirit
that comes at the top of a high moun
tain after a long and difficult climb.
Mont Blanc, 15.7S1 feet high, was first
ascended in 1780, and at that time
writers had only expressions of hor
ror for the attempt.—Youth's Com
panion.
Indians in Confederate Army.
In the latter part of 1861 the Chero
kee nation entered into a treaty of al
liance with the Confederate states and
agreed to furnish a regiment of troops
for the Confederate military service.
Tin regiment became demoralized and
practically ceased to exist soon after
the battle of Pea Ridge, Ark., In 1802.

Author’s Sound Advice.
It is a familiar custom for an author
of some merit but little fame lo get a
more celebt ted colleague (o introduce
h.s book. The custom is sometimes run
into the ground. Such an author ap
plied to Mr. Bernard Shaw for a
preface. Shaw replied : “Swim on your
own ; don't trust corks."
Right-Sightedni-as.
The assertion comes from France
that tlie majority of people are not
only right-handed but also right-
sighted. By this is meant that most
persons see better with the right eye
than with the left and habitually,
though unconsciously, employ it more.
Some persons, however, make greater
use of the left eye than of the right,
and accordingly are said to be “left*
eyed.”
New Light on Biblical Lore.
A ludicrous distortion of scripture
occurred not long ago in an English
school when a small pupil wrote of
the Pharisees: “The Fareses were a
mean, measly lot. One day one of
j them gave our Lord a penny and our
Lord held it out in his hand and
looked at it with scorn and said,
‘Whose subscription is- this?’ ’’—Bos

Gigantic Codfish.
The largest single cod of which
Wilfred T. Grenfell has a recojd, he
tells In “Labrador,” weighed 102
pounds. The record on the Newfound

by a fish weighing 160 pounds.
I Bow That Will Stay Fastened.
When you are tying the final bow

once, and the trick is done. This

Space Required for Trees’ Growth.
A spruce tree in a forest at twenty
years requires about four square feet
j of space; at forty years, 34 square
feet; at sixty years, 70, and at one
hundred years, 150 square feet. Pine
trees demand at least 15 per cent more
light space than spruce and nearly 40
per cent more than fir trees.
