.SUGGESTSGREAT MEMORIAL
STATUE OF CONFEDERATE SOL
DER on STONE MOUNTAIN
delegates to Convention Elect Off
GERS and Enjoy Oyster Roast in
Afternoon.

Savannah. Ga, Nov. 12.-The
United Daughters of the Confederacy
today reelected Mrs. Daisy McLaurin
Stevens, of Mississippi, as president
general.
Col. John Temple Graves address
ed the convention, making the sug-
geston of a memorial to the Con-
federate soldier, to be erected on the
side of Stone Mountain, near Allan
ia. He said in part:
"On the steep side of Stone Noun
tain, facing northward, there is a
sheer declivity that rises or falls
from 900 to 1000 feet. Here. then,
is natures matchless plan for me-
mortal On this steep side let those
who love Southern dead combine to
have the engineers cut projection
80 feet wide and 100 feet deep. In
to this projection, and as high as it
may be made, let us ask Lorado Taft,
the republics greatest sculptor, to
chisel a heroic statue, seventy feet
high, of the Confederate soldier, in
the nearest possible resemblance to
Robert E. Lee. Let him chisel also
the insignia of the Confederate uni
form, of which they gray stone is
the natural base. There will be no
monument in all the world like this,
our monument to the Confederate
dead. None so majestic, none so mag
nifcently framed and none that will
more powerfully attract the interest
and the admiration of those who
have soul. Will Sam Venable per-
nit this chiselling of his mighty
granite hill? l do not know, for /
am speaking upon one of the i'm
pulses that have been behind every
good thing 1 ever did, from the Gra-
dy memorial speech to the defence
of the South at Chicago. But l do
know Sam Venable, and make bold
to say that the brave and loyal spirit
of this gallant Georgian will not re-
fuse the consent, which will make OF
his Georgia home more than Par
nassus."
Col. Graves was vigorously ap-
plauded by the convention and a res
olution was passed approving the
suggestion, but no tangible action
was taken.
This afternoon the delegates at
tended an oyster roast as guests OF
the Savannah board Of trade and the
local daughters.

TRADING GONG SOUNDS
NEW ORLEANS AND NEW YORK
EXCHANGES OPERATING.
Business Il Little Complicated at
First Owing to New and Old
Style Contracts.

New York, Nov. 16.-The New
York cotton exchange re-opened for
unrestricted trading at 10 o'clock
this morning. 1t had been closed
since July 81 when the market went
into convulsions and three firms fail
ed through the decentralization Great
ed by impending war in Europe.
The floor of the exchange was
thronged with brokers when the
gong sounded today. During the first
few minutes trading was exceedingly
brisk and somewhat nervous. There
was a little confusion because of un-
familiarity with the new style con-
tracts and the new rules imposed on
the market by the operation of the
socalled cotton future law.
The Opening.
Early trading was confined almost
entirely to December cotton, sold on
old sty'e contract. The market open
ed at 7.45 cents and dropped quick
" to 7.4O. A low level of 7.39 was
reached in the first half hour. The
market then grew steady and the
nervous tone departed. At the end
of the first hour trading appeared
to be normal and the number of
brokers on the floor had dwindled to
the usual size. Prices were approxi-
mately three cents below what they
we're when the exchange closed on
July 31st. January sold at 7.73 to
7.S5; March at 1855 to 7.SS; May at
$40 and SIP, and October at $40
to $50, all on new style contracts.
Interested Spectators.
Wall street brokers inactive be-
cause of the darkened stock exchange
we're interested spectators at the
opening. A sprinkling of other spec
tators, friends and families Of cotton
brokers were in the galleries.
A general laugh greeted the read
ing of a letter of congratulations
from members of the Liverpool Cot
ton association. The letter was read
from the rostrum shortly after the
opening gong sounded.

Lack of a Comma Did 1t.

1t is the custom of minister in a
certain seaboard town to read in
church the requests for the prayers
of the congregation.
Not long ago the minister was abb
sent and city clergyman, who did
not know the custom, officiated III
his place.
At the usual time the deacon hand
ed the notices to the minister, eX-
planning what was to be done with
them. In few minutes the congre-
cation was startled to hear:
"A man going to see his wife de-
sires the prayer OF the congregation
for his safe return
The notice really read: "A man
going to sea, his wife desires the
PRAYERS of the congregation for MS
safe return"

The city authorities of Columbia
have inaugurated, at the instance OF
the citizens of that place, a cam
paign against blind tigers, gambling
joints and other forms of vice. AS
the people are behind the movement,
it is probable that the campaign may
result in making Columbia a cleaner
and better place. Although, from
appearances, the authorities are not
in entire acor;i with the movement,
as they are trying to enforce every
blue law that has been enacted for
the past fifty years. This. apparent
ly, is being done to disgust the peo-
pie with the campaign.

sion on which he had started, the
pilot returned toward Antwerp, but
ran out of petrol about ten miles
away, and had to roam about till he dis
covered one of the Belgian armored
motor cars which had worked around
the north of the German lines to pick
up the aviators in case they came to
grief. Of course, the good little scout
had to be abandoned and presumably
it was burned to prevent it falling
into the hands of the Germans.
Fog Blocked Grey's Plan.
Meantime Squadron Commander
Grey had gone off to Cologne, but
owing to thick fog over that part of
the country he was unable to locate
the aviation ground outside the city.
However. in circling over the city it
self, he managed to perceive the big
general station, and deposited a few
bombs on it, staying long enough to
notice that a considerable amount Of
damage was done to various appur-
tenances thereof. Finding it was still
impossible to see the aviation ground.
he started back for Antwerp and ar
rived safely at the flying ground.
There the naval people waited the
return of the missing pilot, who
finally arrived late at night. Thanks
to the house in which they were
sheltered being German property, 1t
was not damaged, but they could
not go outside it before dark owing
to the danger of being sniped by Ger
man riflemen. Consequently at the
first sign of dawn they left the house
and cleared out into a wood on the
far side of the ground, where they
lay and watched the German artillery
smash up their previous aeroplanes
and the Belgian's sheds.
Escaped From Antwerp.
When they found all question Of
getting the machines out was hope
less, they trooped off to Antwerp,
only to find that the order for the
evacuation of the city had been Civ
en-, and that both troops and lnhabl-
tants were then busy clearing out.
With some difficulty they got hold
of cars and made off for the coast,
and am told that the worst part OF
their journey was crossing the bridge
over the canal, which was then
blazing river of burning oil, with the
flames licking over the parapets OF
the bridge. So fierce was the heat
that they had to shield their faces
with their hands as they crossed.
Eventually, after travelling miles
over roads crowded with refugees,
they got safely back to the naval air
service base.

A WARNING TO MANY
Some Interesting Facts About
Kidney Troubles

Few PEOPLE realize to what extent
their health depends upon the con-
dition of the kidneys. -..
The physician in nearly all cases
of serious illness, makes chemical
analysis of the patients urine. He
knows that unless the kidneys are
doing their work properly, the other
organs cannot readily be brought
back to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected
or abused in any way, serious results
are sure to follow. According to
health statistics, Bright's disease
which is really an advanced form Of
kidney trouble, caused nearly ten
thousand deaths in 1918, in the State
of New York alone. Therefore, It
behooves us to pay more attention
to the health of these most important
organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has
had remarkable success as a kidney
remedy is Dr. Kilmers Swamp-Root,
the great Kidney, Liver and Bladder
Remedy
The mild and healing influence Of
this preparation, in most cases, Is
soon realized, according to sworn
statements and verified testimony Of
those who have used the remedy.
If you feel that your kidneys re-
quire attention, and wish sample
bottle, write to DR.. Kilmer & Co.,
Binghamton, N. Y. Mention this pa
per, enclose ten cents and they. will
gladly forward it to you by Parcel
Post.
Swamp-Root is sold by every drug

Augusta is to have a live-at-home
week. This is a good movement.
The people should do their trading
at home, buy home products, patron
ize home industries. No concern, no
matter haw large, can have a more
serious handicap than not having a
liberal home patronage.
