BOpGLUN HAS BEGUN
WORK ON MEMORIAL
is EXPECTED THAT 1T WILL
TAKE TWO YEARS TO CON-
PLETE UNDERTAKING.

Mr.. Gutzon Borglum, the noted
sculptor, who has charge of the work
on Stone Mountain concentrating
the Southern Confederacy, was una
BILE to fill his engagement to speak
in Dawson Wednesday night under
the auspices of the Daughters of the
Confederacy. He promises to come
at later date.
Preliminary work has already be-
gun on this immense memorial. An
engine has been imbedded in the rock
at the top of the mountain with a
large winding drum containing many
yards Of heavy iron wire. This wire
runs from the top down the steep
side, on which figures of leaders and
soldiers of Confederacy will be carv-
ed, and carries with it several pull
lies. Interlacing wires have been
firmly fastened to the rock by steel
posts for a considerable distance
down the side. They also carry pull
leys to be used for the hanging plat
forms from which the sculptor will
work.
The whole affair thus far has the
appearance of number of miniature
telephone poles reaching toward the
sky from the top and the side of the
huge granite mountain. The pulleys
and the wires have not been carried
all the way from the side yet. but
have been extended for some dis
lance. Great masses Of the granite
have ben dislodged from the top by
the workmen in firmly placing their
posts on whose strength will depend
the lives of the men doing the sculp-
tural work.
The little wooden house in which
the huge metal drum with its winding
of heavy iron wire is encased has at
tracted a great deal of attention dur
ing the past few days from persons
visiting the countain.
Mr.. Borglum is one of the coun-
try's greatest sculptors and his work
in connection with this permanent
monument to the Confederate cause
will make it one of the show places Of
the country when completed. 1t iS
expected that the work will take
about two years for completion, as It
contemplates the cutting of large
room in the face of the solid rock
near the foot of the mountain to be
used for the storing of Confederate
records.

Why does a girl close her eyes
when a fellow kisses her?
This seemingly unimportant ques-
ton asked by an eminent psychology
scholar, suddenly has become the top
ic of the day in the East, and all
because reporter interviewed some
suffragists, young wives and promi-
nent girls known to be in love.
Such difference of opinion was
expressed that the subject captured
first page in New York newspapers,
and interest in the topic is spreading
as rapidly as a prairie fire across the
country.
What the Women Say.
Here are the interviews that start
ed the debate.
A suffragist was the first to express
her opinion.

idea," she said, "uless the girl is

NEGROES MURDER
BAKER FARMER
John Bailey Was Killed and Robbed
While on Way to Give Negro
Place to Sleep.

NEWTON, Ga.-John Bailey, a
farmer of Baker county, was killed
and robbed of about $500 near his
home, supposedly by negro with
whom he had left his house for the
purpose of giving him place to sleep
in his barn.
The negro, it is said called at the
Bailey home and asked Co be allowed
to spend the night in the barn. Mr..
Bailey, taking a blanket from the
house, went with him to the barn, but
when he failed to return a search was
instituted. His body was found near
by, his head having been crushed with
an ak. Later the money was recov-
cred by officers from the home of a
relative of the negro, where he is al
legged to have left it.
Two Suspects Arrested.
Nose Booker is in jail at Albany
and Glover Jones is in Jail at New
ton. Both negroes are suspected of
being implicated in the murder of
Bailey. The two were seen with Sol
ONION Booker at Bailey's place Tues
day afternoon. Bailey was killed
Tuesday night.
Bailey was a bachelor and lived
alone in a small cabin. He was found
Tuesday night by party of hunters
who were passing that way and heard
his means. He was in dying cOndi-
ton, but managed to tell the hunters
that Solomon Booker had killed him.

Girls, Why Shut Your Eyes
When You're Being Kissed?

From a young wife came this:
''She is thinking, oh, Lord, how |
have been cheated
A young unmarried woman said
this:
eff you have ever seen male
mug at close range-Or ever looked
in mirror-you ought to understand
why a girl shuts her eyes when man
kisses her."
Another said this:
perhaps for the same reason that
men like to be blindfolded before
they are shot, or have to face any
other terrible ordeal"
Ali She Is intoxicated.
But one sweet young thing, made
up of loneliness alone, answered the
question with melting eye and rapt
expression:
"Ah, it is because she is drugged,
intoxicated by the sweetness and joy
of it. She closes her eyes involun-
tarily to let the mystic thrills pene-
trate, dream-like, through her soul"
Well, girls, who is right?

SOLDIERS GET RID
OF THEIR PAY QUICK
Prices High in FL Paso. Some Wash
Clothes, and Others Shine Shoes
For Extra Coin.

Ell PASO, Tex.-More than ever
before the fact is impressed on Mr..
Soldier when he reaches the border
that Fifteen per" doesn't go long
way.
Not only does everything cost more
than back in the east, but there are
manv more ways to get rid of the
said fifteen per. So Mr.. Soldier IS
generally on the alert for ways and
means to add to his monthly govern
mental stipend.
And many and varied are the ways
in which militiamen on the border get
the extra money together. Perhaps
the most popular of all these IS wash
ING clothes. The average enlisted
man finds laundry work most lrksome
and is more than willing to pry HIM
self loose from one of his hard-earn-
ed fifteen if he can get some one else
to do it for him. On the contrary,
there are in every outfit at least two
or three fellows who are willing to
"do" all the laundry they can get.
These fellows always have as much
work as they can handle, and as a
result Of their industry their monthly
income generally exceeds that of the
highest paid non-com in their OUTFIT.
In other words, their washing. nets
them anywhere from fifteen to forty
five dollars per month
Another avenue to wealth in the
army is the shoe shining route. Num-
bers of the men have constructed
bootblack stands, and it IS surprising;
TO learn the number of men who VIII
kick in with a jitney for having their
shoes shined rather than do the work
themselves.

The firm representatives stated that
it had only shipped two tons of this
fertilizer into the State and thus far
out Of the two tons had only sold four
bags. 1t was agreed that all future
sales would be made for exactly the
weight contained in the bags The rea-
son assigned for the short weight was
that the fertilizer lost weight in drying
