PROVIDENCE SPRING" STORY
Legend Easily Explained Away
by the Facts.

The hundreds of northern visitors
who are coming down to Andersonyille
national cemetery on May 30 will find
magnificent marble arch and foun-
tain, costing s., 900, erected above what
is known as providence Spring."
famed in story for the fairy legend con-
nected Herewith. This. in effect, is
that while 10000 federal prisoners were
confined at Andersonville, suffering
from thirst, providence Spring" su l.
denly burst forth as when Moses smote
the rock in the Wilderness, affordlng a
bounteous supply of pure water for the
prisoners.
The truth is that when the bitches
for setting up the sJOckade posts were
dug the slaves who did the work care
lesslv threw the dirt aside in such a
manner that the spring, a we'll known
landmark since 1910, was covered up
for several weeks. A hard rain later
washed away the dirt and providence
Spring" burst forth. 1t was even
known to the Indians and pioneer
hunters many years before the. civil
war as famous deer stand. In digging
for the stone foundations recently,
when the marble temple was erected.
the workmen found old wooden boxes
and curbing about the spring that were
put there long before the civil war.
The federal prison was located at
Andersonville on account of the health
fulness of that section and its abundant
water supply, spring creek of pure
water running through the stockade.
Every old citizen in that section knows
the providence Spring" legend to be
fake. pure and simple, though long a
cherished story connected with the
"horrors" of AndersonYille, or told in
the north after the war.

life his pension will be reduced by the
court, and should the wife demean her

1t is not yet two years, SAYS the New

to multiply by ten its then alleged
capital investment Oh S10,000,000 and
make it 500. 100000. And within these
two years it has already paid Sll3,0OO,-
00J as profits on the S100000,000 OF
capital Investment thus created by the
process of diluuion.
If the original capitalization of &c.
100000 had not been thus deluged
with water, remarks The World, the
dividends actually declared upon it in
the past two years would have been
1913 per cent in 1899, 480 in 1900 and for
l90l-wth nearly seven months OF it
to cOme--320 per cent.
Yes, says The World, there are peo-
pie who hug the delusion that Stand

cheapened the price of oil. How much
cheaper would it be if the Standard
Oil dividends were instead of 480 per
