IMagery-SuppOrted by charming
metaphysical analysis and prompted
oy an apt sagacity, almost peculiar
TO himself, on the floor, where he ex-
hib1ts.' This pen portrait by one
OF the leading newspapers OF that
day was prophetic to the end.
Ancestors Of Revolutionary fame
are found in the graveyard of Old
Stone Church, which is not far dis
tant from the quaint little cemetery
or Pendleton. These same names
are found on the tOmbstones, here
the Calhouns, the Pinckneys, the
sloans, the Trescots, the Stevens, the
Bees, the Sfttons, the Warleys, and
many others, with brief record of
their service In the War Between the
States Many Of them were Con-
federate officers of high rank, show
Ing that the spirit Of their fore
fathers has been handed down to
sons, and grandsons-all sharing
sacred ground alike, after having
given of their best-and their lives
for their country.
Just walk a.. bit further on and
there is grave that holds one of
the best loved generals OF the Con-
federacy-Gen. Barnard e. Bee, and
this inscription on his tomb gives a
full conception Of the manner of
man he was:
IF thou noble soldier art
That pausest by this grave, man,
There moulders here gallant heart,
For this man was brave man.
III thou art staunch, without a stain,
Like the unchanging blue, man,
This was kinsman O. thine own,
For this man was a true man."
1t was Gen. Barnard e. Bee who
gave the sobriquet Of "Stonewall" to
the great Jackson. In the First Bat
tie OF Manassas, when, with the
first volley, the men wavered, Gen.
Bee said: "Rally, boys! Rally!-Go
forWard!-Look at Jackson stand
ing like a stone wall"
1t has been said that there is
strange world worship Of the dead.
Creeds may change, and religions
fail, but humanity kneels at the
shrine Of the dead.
An interesting visit was paid to
the old hall Of the Oldest farmers
organization in the United States.
Statistics show that it was organized
in 1895, and that John G. Calhoun
was member. This is their motto
which has been handed down to the
present generation: ON things es-
sential, unity; in all things, charity"
The name under which the charter
was granted is "The Farmers Edu-
cational and Cooperative Union Of
America" Another frame held the
charter of the Coach Horse Associa-
ton, showing that these farmers
were even then interested in register
ell stock. Col. J. G. Stribling has
long been the president Of this or
ganization.
Reunion at Due West Next Year.
The Attn annual reunion of Orr's
regiment Of rifles was concluded at
Sandy Springs on Friday afternoon.
The first days proceedings were held
at Pendlcton on Thursday, at which
the veterans were royalty greeted
and entertained. On Friday the vet
Grams accepted the invitation to go
to Sandy Springs, where the COM
mand WIS organized and sworn into
the service Of the Confederacy, ana
where they secured their first
months training. For many years
the "egular reunions were held there,
and he veterans greatly enjoyed re-
assembling in spot so hallowed by
the associations Of the past.
After deciding to meet at Due
West on the second Tuesday in Au-
gust, 1920, the reunion adjourned.

Jimmy Harris to
Meet Everett in a
Ten Round Battle

1t is announced that negotiations
have been completed for a match
between Jimmy Harris of this city
and Stanley Everett of Peoria, the
battle to take place at that city
March 5.
Harris and Everett have met be-
fore, fighting as a preliminary to
the Bob Moha-Harry Greb battle at
the Three-Eye park last summer. 1t
was good scrap and Everett DEM
onstrated that he is a great little
boxer. Both boys are exceedingly
clever. Jimmy is training daily at
Dams gym and says he is in fine
shape.
There is some talk of a bout be-
ing arranged between Harris and
Young Izzo of New York for the
flyweight championship of America,
Cincinnati being mentioned as a
probable site for the battle Whether
there is ought but rumor in this an
nouncement remains to be seen. It
is probable that Harris will be used
on one of the Rock Island Athletic
club cards in the near future.

HOPE TO CLAIM
DISTRICT TITLE
Rock Island High School Basket
ball Ladies' Play First Game
Of Series Tonight
TWO TEAMS START ON TRIP
Kewanee Quintet Expected to Be
Initial Victim Of Locals
Play Depue Tomorrow.
BY FRY

Tonight at Galesburg the Rock
Island high school basketball team
will play the first game of the
Northwestern district tournament
with Kewanee. The first and sec
ond teams left this afternoon full
of pep and confidence in winning
the championship.
The Islanders have better
chance Of winning the tournament
this year, than they have had for
many moons. After defeating al
most every strong contender for
first place they ought to come home
Sunday with the championship.
This year. too, Rock Island has a
strong second team to play the
minor games and leave the first
team fresh for the finals. Rock Is
land lost the tournament last year
because tho first team was exhaust
ed from playing three games in one
day. In Forest Dizotell, William
Zimmerman, Deward Henke, Ern-
est Blankenburg and William OIL
weller the Islanders have an array
Of basket shooters that ought to
ruin any of the rural schools fine
records.
Tomorrow afternoon the Island
ers will play their second game
with Depue. Although nothing spe-
cial is known OF the Depue team
the locals aren't worrying over the
result.
The Islanders play no more
games until Saturday morning
when they probably will meet Mo-
line. AS Rock Island has already
defeated Moline it will In ali prob
ability repeat the performance.
Sure OF Win.
With Moline out of the way the
next game probably will be played
Saturday afternoon with either
Abingdon or Altoona. II 1t is Abing-
don no fear Is expressed over the
result as Rock Island has already
defeated Abingdon twice. and IL 1t
is Altoona the result probably will
be the same, as most OF the smaller
schools are IN the same class IN
Eiaying basketball.
AS to the finals to be played Sat
Urday afternoon not much can
be predicted. Eimwood meets
Galesburg Saturday afternoon and
the winner OF this fray will
10 doubt meet the Islanders
in the final game. There is
much discussion over the rela-
tive merits Of Elmwood and Gales
burg and although Galesburg de-
feated Elmwood by a small score
many say that Galesburg was COM
pIetely outplayed and predict that
Elmwood will play the final with
Rock Island. Bat whether Elm
wood or Galesburg the result prob
ably will be the same. Dope gives
the Islanders tho slight edge over
both of these schools so that they
ought to cop the championship no
matter which team plays in the
finals.

Decision to Put Team in Field
Reached at Meeting of College
Athletes johnson Coach.
ONLY ONE VETERAN BACH
Wealth Of Green Material Available
However-Wnl Compete at
SLittle 1917 Meet.
By EsHAM.o

Augustana college will put out
a track team this spring. This was
decided at a meeting of candidates
called by Nels Pearson, director OF
gymnastics at the college. Seven
men responded to the call. Julius
Johnson, former star track man,
captain of the 1915 varsity team,
was chosen to act as coach.
Only one veteran track man was
included on the roster of the can
didates; Roul Redstrom. distance
man. He opened his track record
st Augustana three years ago and
IS an experienced distance runner.
Around him should be built feet
running aggregation. Three years
ago Redstrom took second place in
the two-mile runs with both Mon
mouth and Northwestern and show
ed up well in other events. The
great bulk of Augie points will be
expected through him as he will, in
all likelihood. be elected captain.
The other men who reported were !:
Anselm, Forsberg, Martinson, Col
Inns, Wickstrom and Rauer.
First Meets for Two Years.
The track meets this year will
be the first to be held for over two
years. At the beginning of the war
this sport was suspended because
Of the depletion in the ranks of the
athletes. The Little Nineteen
track meet is scheduled to take
place at Bradley institute in Peoria
early in May. Strong contenders
in past meets have been Millikin,
Bradley, Wesleyan and Monmouth.
Augustana stands an even chance
with other schools of the confer
ence as none of them have had
track activity and will be forced to
work up entirely new teams this
spring.
