South Mountain Memorial.
Mr.. Lewis Efforts TO Restore
Monument To Washington.
[FrOm the NeiU York San

When David John Lewis was elect
ed to the Sixty-third Congress from
the Sixth district of Maryland, his
interesting story attracted attention
all over the country. Born in this
country, the child of Welsh immi-
grants, he went to work aS a miner
when nine. He EARNED to read in
Sunday School, studied law and Lat
in between shifts, and finally was adj
mitted to the bar. 1t is gratifying to
find his name row attached to a bill
proposing an expenditure of Govern
ment money for patriotic and SEN
sible purpose.
representative Lewis district in
cludes Washington county, in which
lies the South Mountain, the site of
an interesting and valuable memorial
to George Washington. who, had he
been so disposed, might have discov-
cred an overwhelming public demand
among his fellow citizens for him to
become President the third time.
This memorial was erected on hide
pendence Day of 1927, near the town
OF Boonsboro, by volunteer labor,
each resident of the community who
was able to be present contributing
his share. Locally it is believed that
this was the first monument built in
honor of Washington, who died in
1899. Mr.. Lewis holds this opinion.
Whether other memorials antdating
this exist is not material question.
1t is a structure of unusual history,
testifying in an unusual manner to
the affection and respect in which
George Washington was held.
With the passage Of years, the mon
ument has fallen into disrepair, and
it is now in danger of destruction.
Mr.. Lewis proposes that the Federal
Government shall buy the land on
which the pile stands, restore it on
the original design. using as far as
possible the original materials, and
that hereafter it be maintained ut ma.
tional expense. The appropriation
asked for is ~, 500 and the annual
expenditure to keep it in good condi-
ton would be practically nothing.
While it would unquestionably be in
better accord with the spirit in which
the monument was raised to have its
restoration effected by unpaid volun-
teer labor from the neighborhOod, if
this is not forthcoming the Govern
ment may undertake the task with
perfect propriety.
There is something particularly ap.
pealing III the advocacy of this enter
prise by Mr.. Lewis, but the project
would enlist support on it's merits
were his career not brought to mind
by it. Certainly there are not, and
cannot be, too many memorials to
George Washington in this country,
and that any of them should be OBJ
liberated through neglect is unthink-
able.

Sudden Death.

A very sudden death occurred near
this place Tuesday morning. Mr.. VIM.
Willhide, son of the late Taylor Willhide,
had employed Messrs Peter Cline and
VIM. Reed to cut locust on his property
at the foot of the mountain.
The three men were working near each
other, Cline having about finished cut
ting tree looked up to see how it was
going to fall, and while in that position,
reeled and fell dead.
Mr.. Cline, or Baker as he is known to
many, had been unwell and was caution
ed by his physician not to 60 to work, as
his heart was in very bad condition. He
was taken to his home at Catoctin Mines
by Mr.. Willhide and his body prepared
for burial by M. l.. Creager. Mr.. Cline
was 81 years of age.
