A COLOSSAL MONUMENT.

The most colossal sculpural under
atking in he history Of the world is
that proposed by the United Daugh-
tiers of the Confederacy IN commemo-
ration of the heroic achievements of
the men Of the Civil War, and for the
purpose of idealizing the patriotism
of the south's forefathers BY perpet-
uating in stone their deeds of valor.
The extraordinary sculptural work
was conceived by Gutzon Borglum,
famous sculptor. The grandeur of
the sculptor's conception and the inter-
esting circumstances Of these achieve
ments of southern heroism are to be
carved on a mammoth natural mono
18th, consisting Of the entire side of a
mountain near Atlanta, Ca. The idea
is unique in the history of monument
tai art.
Upon the upper portion Of the all
most precipitous face of the mountain
will be cut the great groups of horses
and men, infantry and cavalry. Ac-
cording to the sculptor he will carve
the grand characters Of the stormy
days of the Civil War in colossal pro-
portion in high and full relief, repre-
senting them in motion, mounted and
on foot, moving across theFace of the
mountain in two wings Of an army
following the mountain contour, NOV
ing naturally to the east. This will be
done in sections, beginning with the
principal figures of Lee, jackson and
johnson. The chief leaders of the
south will appear on the Shoulder of
the mountain some 400 feet from the
base. The figures win be visible for
several miles. The mountain itself is
two miles long, and 700 feet in height.
Borglum proposes to cut into the
base of the mountain, and directly
under the central group Of Lee and
Jackson, but hidden in the forest and
invisible at a distance, huge colon
made of thirteen columns, one for each
of the thirteen states. The granite
will be evacuated round and back of
them. Behind these columns room
will be carved out reaching sixty feet
into the mountain and running the
entire length of the colonnade, dedi-
Gated to the United Daughters of the
Confederacy, and to be used by them
as a gathering place, where they may
also deposit their archives. The hall,
it is proposed, will be reached through
a beautiful park, which viii be part
and the property of the reservation.
A broad fight of granite steps lead
ing to the entrance would complete
the memorial. 1t is estimated that it
will take several years to complete
this work. The donors of the proper
ty are Samuel Venable, his brothers
and their heirs. Work may be begun
in Observation-Disclosures.

THE SPIRIT WE, DESIRE TO DE-
VEL0P WITHIN OUR SCHOOLS

Paper read before Haywood Coun-
ty teachers at their February meeting
by Mrs, r. P. Caldwell.)
So marked have been the changes
in our educational world, even in re-
cent years-it is now taken for grant
ed that all teachers worthy Of the
name consider textbook knowledge of
minor Importance when compared with
the other broader and deeper things
we wish to impart to, and instill in
our pupils. As we know growth, men
tai, moral and physical is our key
note. But would it not be better to
give morality the first place and let
it include not only a clean life, but
one of lofty ideals-patriotism and
honesty? Strive to create within
them the spirit to do something and
be something. Let your own life be
an inspiration to them. Point them to
the great men of all times, men whose
lives have been blessing to humani-
ty, not so much on account Of the
deeds they did, but of the lives they
lived.
Keep in mind the fact that when the
children now under our care have pas
sed into manhood and womanhood, and
on out into the broad field of life. il
will not be the questions answered on
examination day that will count, but
what manner Of man is he.n This
will be the test of your work and Of
mine, and taking this view, anew sort
OF interest seems to gather about it.
The songs we sing, the stories we
tell, and even the little copies we
write, take on new meaning, and
many Of them, if rightly used, will
help us in sowing the seed thoughts
we wish to implant.
Perhaps had more attention been
given this in the past our prisons and
reformatories would not now be so
full.
Children are like plants in many
respects. AS they are bent, so they
will grow. The school, next to the
home, deals with them during the
most impressive stage, and if they are
here turned into paths of truthfulness,
honesty and patriotism, they will de-
yelop into citizens of the highest type.
The time has been when this would
have been much more difficult than
now, for now, as never before the
home is cooperating with the school
and the school is reaching out into
the homes, teaching the people thro'
the children, the things they most need
to know.
Everywhere the spirit is abroad to
make our boys and girls men and wo-
men ready to march out into the great
school of life, prepared for its beauti-
full science, and ready and happy to
give what service they can, to their
fellowman, their community and their
country.

uHy NOT PULL FAIR.


Ever since the time Of Adam
When that duffer got his fame. Z
We've been always knocking women
For our wrongs she gets the blame
She's the one that causes treble.
What q great place this would be
II this world was for men only,
And form woman we'd be free.
Every time that man gets loaded,
twas some woman made him so,
With their nagging and their seolding
OF on drunk they made us 90.
II we steal, twas they that made US,
To get clothes for them to wear,
Really this is something awful,
All the ills men have to bear.
And the loafer on the corner,
He must knock the women, too,
How they smoke and drink and gamble
At their clubs what things they do:
They neglect their homes and children,
Run around both day and night;
Just think how the poor men suffer,
o, my word, it is fright
Let me tell you, my Gear brother,
Even if these things were true,
Yet woman is a bad one,
II she's not as good as you.
Show me where there is a woman,
Who, perchance, has gone astray,
And I'll show you close beside her
Some fool man who led the way.
If she smokes, twas he who taught her
If she drinks, you showed her how,
If she is as you have made her,
Is it right to knock her now?
God made man and God made woman,
Both upon a different plan,
There never was real bad woman
Who was not made so by man.

London was sent up from Upton
county on a charge Of grand larceny
to serve a three year term, and after
few months was made a trusty at
the prison. He had but six months
and two days more to serve when he
made his getaway, and nothing had
been heard of him since. London
turned up in Springfield few days
ago, where he was arrested on a
charge of forgery. However, after
he got into the trouble, he happened to
pass a church where a revival meet
ing was in progress. Attracted by
the music he entered the place. The
revival was being conducted by Evan
gelists Chapman and Alexander in
Springfield, and the ex-convict was
among number of converts who were
touched by the speakers.
1t was then that London resolved to
take the upper road, and he went to
and told him that he was an ex-con-
Wet. Il am through with being wor-
ried to death with the thought that l
should be back in the Tennessee peni-
tertiary" said London. The ex-con-
Wet said his number was 6540. Sher-
if Wheeler wired Warden Shaw that
he had London in custody, and Warden
Shaw Immediately notified the Illinois
officer that the Tennessee prison would
send man for Londo-, if requisition
papers would be honored. However,
it is thought that London will have to
serve his time in Illinois On far
gerry charge before he can be returned
to Tennessee.
