BOY SLIDES DOWN SIDE
OF MOUNTAIN AND LANDS
1925 FEET ON SMALL LEDGE

where he started the ledge OF rock pro-
jected out far enough to give him foot
hold and there he stopped with his back
to a solid wall of stone. Below him in a
field was a negro boy blowing. He heard
the calls of Earl for help and looking up
saw his plight. The negro signaled for
him to remain still and then sent for aid.
In q few minutes a telephone message
had been sent into the town by Mrs.
Venable, mother OF Samuel Venable. prin-
cipal owner of the mountain, that a child
was standing on a little shelf OF rock
In danger of being dashed to death.
Quickly a rescue party was formed. IL
was composed of w. P. Humphrey, @.

Harry Goldsmith, j. L. Hendrix, ]. A.
McCurdy, j. D. McCurdy, all of Stone
Mountain, and s. A. Gaddy, of Charleston.
STOOD THERE TWO HOURS.
They went TO the precipice and Mr..
Humphreys volunteered to go after the
10y. Ropes were brought and tied to-
gether so as to reach to the ledge. 1t
took time to do all these things and the
work of reaching the boy was slow. Two
hours after he had fallen Earl was
brought to safety and clasped in the arms
of his almost frantic mother.
But while all these things were taking
place and while he was literally in the
shadow of death. Earl kept his nerve and
never once showed the faintest sign OF
fright. When asked how wide was the
ledge on which he stood, the little fellow
made a loop of his arms, holding them
close to his breast and said:
About so wide
Then he was asked IL the place looked
any wider to him than 1t really was, and
he smiling, said no.
1t was hard to tell which gave his fa-
Their the greatest joy-his restoration or
the nerve he exhibited.

When H Earl Plowden. 10 years OF age,
Stone Mountain Saturday morning on
Sunday school picnic with his parents he
had no idea that he would break all rec
ords for high jumps and have the entire
town out to his rescue soon after his ar
rival at the resort. But he did all OF
those things and more besides, for he
showed a nerve that would have done
credit to the sturdiest Of warriors as he
stood for more than two hours on a
ledge of rock hardly a foot wide with
nothing nearer to him than the ground.
1,275 feet below.
Early Saturday morning little Earl
started for Stone Mountain with the
brightest prospects for a joyous day. He
wore a baseball uniform and could hardly
keep his feet still as the train on which
he Travelled made Its way over the tracks.
AS soon as the mountain was reached
Earl asked his father, who Is travelling
salesman for the Carolina Portland Ce-
ment company, what he must do.
You come for a good time, so go and
enjoy yourself my son." said his father.
Earl scampered away with a number of
his little friends.
The next time his father saw him the
child was standing on the ledge Of rock
staring at death that yearned at him from
the land below.
BRAVE MAN SAVED HIM.
But for the bravery of w. P. Hum
phreys, of Stone Mountain, the boy
would now be a corpse, for his strength
was fast falling under the strain when
he was rescued. When Earl left his pa
rents he started up the mountain with
his friends but seeing a number of wild
goats became interested in them and
strayed away from his companions. When
he looked for them they were gone. Then
he started to retrace his footsteps. but
he had lost his way and the next thing
he knew was sliding down the mountain
