THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT.

The long expected completion Of the
Washington monument was accomplished
last Saturday afternoon by setting in place
the marble capstone and its pyramidal apex
of aluminium. The ceremonies were few
and simple, an elaborate celebration of the
event being reserved for Washington's
birthday. Shortly after . o'clock Colonel
Thomas l.. Casey, the Government engineer
in charge, and his assistants, Captain Davis,
L. S. A., and Bernard p. Green, civil en-
gneer, together with Master Mechanic Nc
Iaughlin and several workmen, standing
on a narrow platform built around the slop-
ing marble roof near the summit, proceed
ed to set the capstOne (weighing $500
pounds) which was suspended from quad
rupled of heavy joists supported by the
platform and towering forty feet above
them. AS soon as the capStone was set the
American flag was unfurled overhead and
a salute of 81 guns was promptly fired by
Major Hannerman's militia battery in the
White House grounds far below. The
sound of cheers also came up family from
the crowd of spectators gathered around the
base of the monument, while numbers of in
vited guests on 800 foot platform and in
the interior of the monument at that level,
spontaneously struck up the Star Spangled
Banner and other patriotic songs. ~ steady
down-pour of rain had given place a little
while previously to Il brisk gale of wind (at
this elevation blowing about So miles an
hour and very few of the invited guests
cared to avail themselves Of the privilege
of climbing the nearly perpendicular lad
der from the 800 foot platform to the dizzy
height of 53 feet above, from which three
or four journalists and half Il dozen other
adventurous climbers witnessed the setting
of the capstone and assembled the pinnacle; ;

THE COTTON CROP.

The cotton crop report for the Memphis
district, which embraces West Tennessee,
North Arkansas, North Mississippi and
North Alabama, issued last Saturday, says:
"a review of the season will enable inter
ested persons to better comprehend the sltu-
alton. AS is we'll known, planting, owing
to unfavorablc weather, was delayed fully
three weeks, and that this fact. compared
with the drought which prevailed during
the latter part Of July, and extending
through August, cut down the prospective
Weld, which was so promising, and the re-
suit is now evident that the decrease III
this district will be about II per cent. as
compared with last year. The frost OF oc-
tober "A was ravaging in its effect to worse
degree than was at first reported, Ihe re-
suit Of the correspondence from al! sections
of the South, including the Atlantic States,
Louisiana and Texas, reduces the cotton
crop in the Southern States, from this frost
alone fully bale; a,hso The picking kin hssn sea
nhcnomcnally favorable, and the present
rrop has been gathered earlier than was

Society, represented by DIR. Joseph M. Jones,
Hon. Horatio Bing, General VIM. Mckee
Dunn, DIR. Daniel B. Clark, and j. Il. Har-
vey, Secretary, held a meeting on the ele-
waited platform at the height of 500 feet, and
when artillery firing announced the setting
of the capstone, adopted resolution offered
by General Dunn, (congratulating the Amer
during monument of our nations gratitude
to the Father of his Country.'O Among
those present last Saturday at the compile
ton of the structure was one of the master
mechanics who laid the corner stone of the
more than 3G years ago, and an
old watchman of the monument who has
been continuously employed in that capaci
ty during nearly the whole of the interven-
ing period. The flag over the monument
f1Oated to-day (and will remain for several
days until the timbers are all removed) from
the flagstaff, the top Of which is exactly GOO
feet from the ground, thus displaying the
American colors at the greatest height OF
ever yet known in the world.
The monument itself, with its total height
of $50 feet far OVertOps every other struct-
ure of human hands. The aluminium apex
of the monument is engraved with inscrlp-
tions as follows: On one face "Chief En-
giner and architect, Thomas Lincoln Casey,
Colonel Corps of Engineers; assistants,
George w. Davis, Fourteenth United
States Infantry; Bernard p. Green, CIVIL
Engineer; Master Mechanic, p. Fl. Nc
Laughlin." On another: "Corner stone
laid on the bed of foundation July 4th, 1913.
First stone OF height of 1872 feet, laid August
7th, 1880. Capstone set December 9th 1854"
On the third: "Joint Commission at the
setting of the capstone, Chester A. Arthur,
w. w. Corcoran, Chairman; NJ. E. Bell,
Edward Clark, John Newton. Act of Au-
gust 3D. 1876" And on the fourth face the
words, Claus Deo."

ouestion, "license or no license' have not
vet been ended.
1t seems that on making re-canvass of
the votes given at Spartanburg in the recent
election on the question of prohibition in
that town. the result reverses the election as
at first decided, and gives majority to the
Observation-Disclosures. a correspondent OF
the Greenville Ne1rs, writing from Spartan
burg last Saturday, says: Our city council,
after laborious and exciting contest OF the
last three days, adjourned on last evening.
They were convened in response to a petl-
ton signed by Lewis p. Walker and some
dozen others praying for re-canvass OF the
votes given at the recent municipal elec.
ton of the 10Th ultimo, on the ground OF
ilegality. The license party were repre-
sented by David johnson, Esq. OF Onion'
and Ralph X. Carson, Esq, of this city.
The "no license" employed no counsel.
Thirteen dry votes, on the ground that they
were illegal, were thrown out, reversing the
recent decision and leaving the policy OF the
city virtually "wet" No doubt the question
will be tested in the coming court.
