A Monument to Mark President
Folks Birthplace.

Statesville Landmark.
A monument or tablet OF stone to
mark the birthplace OF James K. Polk
the eleventh President of the United
States, was unveiled Monday about a
fourth of mile from the village OF
Pineville, Mecklenburg county, and
nine miles from Charlotte. The mon
ument was erected under the auspices
of the Daughters Of the Revolution
and is said to be erected on the iderti-
cal site of Folks birthplace.
Dr.. B. Alexander, of Mecklenburg
delivered an address reviewing Polk S
life. Students of history will recall
that Folks father moved from Neck
lenburg to Tennessee when the then
future President was but IL years old,
and it was in Tennessee that Polk at
tanned national fame. He graduated
at the University of North Carolina,
tsudied law and was elected to the Ter
nessee Legislature in 1928. He served
in Congress from 1925 to 1889 and was
twice Speaker. He was elected Coy.
ernor OF Tennessee in 1889 and in 1914
was elected President of the United
States

Baptist orphanage to Have Sewer
age.

Statesvile Landmark.
The Baptist orphanage at Thomas
Vile Is being sorely tried with an
epidemic OF typhoid fever. 10
remedy what is believed to be the
trouble and prevent a possible recur-
renee, the executive board has decided
to equip the institution with COM
plete system OF sewerage. This nee
cessary work will cost considerable
money and the expenses OF the lnstl-
tuition have already been much in
creased by this epidemic of fever. The
Baptist brethren are not asking the
public for help; they are only appeal
ing to their own people. But we take
the liberty of saying that this worthy
institution, in this hour OF sore distress
deserves not only the sympathy and
help of its own people but OF the puo'
lie generally. We trust that there are
those among The Landmarks reaoers
who will feel able and willing to give
aid to this cause. Contributions may
be sent direct to the orphanage al
brownsville, or handed to some pap
fist pastor or layman to be forwaroeo'
