SAME OLD WORLD.

When you tire of a humdrum existence you might
turn to the pages of some OF our sensational daily
papers and read the stories OF high life among
people of millions The Bible contains some rather
naughty stories Of rottenness in ancient times but
it is difficult to find anything to compare with the
moral filth Of today There is trite saying that
fertilization is only skin Deep, but even that small
veneer seems to have utterly vanished from the
carcasses Of some of these butterfly vamps and
ogres Of gold. &'

COMPENSATION.

Have you ever taken note Of the smile of
homely girl? Did it occur to you that there was
something in that smile which reduced her homeli-
ness to insigniicance? It was character. God
seldom gives all to and nothing to Others
There is normally fair distribution of His favors,
though we may not be able to see the wisdom OF
His ways. The homey girl is invariably endowed
with character of gold, and beauty of soul is far
greater than that of all outward forms combined.

MEANT TO SERVE AS BEACON
Statue Of Liberty at New York 10 Not
Fulfilling original Purpose
Of Designer.

The statute Of Liberty, In New York
harbor, Is electrically Illuminated
that Is, so flooded with light as to be
rendered brightly visible at night.
Originally, however, the idea was
to make It serve as beacon, and for
this purpose the flame" OF the lady's
torch was cut at the sides, the open
ings fitted with glass. and nine duplex
arc lamps placed inside.
Thus was obtained a light which,
upheld at a height of 805 feet above
the water, was visible twenty-four
miles out at sea, or ten miles beyond
the anchorage OF the outside light
ship. Its maintenance was assigned
to the government lighthouse board.
But the lighthouse board declared
that II had little or no usefulness az
an aid to navigation, Its value being
purely sentimental, and In 1902 the
light was extinguished, the business

STONE MOUNTAIN
By DIR. James |. Vance

IT is fifteen miles from Atlanta, or
rather Atlanta is fifteen miles
from it, for it was there before At
lanta was dreamed of, and it will be
there after that ambitious city has
been forgotten.
1t is solid nugget of granite a
mile long and eight hundred feet
high, rising sheer from the plain and
looking down upon you in sullen and
sublime grandeur as you stand at its
base. There be these who call it
the eighth wonder of the world.
What stone is Stone Mountain
Not a pile of stone, not successive
layers of stratifed rock, but just
one solid block of granite.
What story this great stone could
tell! The tears of all the centuries
have trickled down its cheeks, and
there are burrows to show when
the rock has wept. The storms of all
the ages have broken on Stone Noun
tain, and there are scars to show
where Heaven has hurled its thun-
derbolts.
Forests have growp up around its
base and died, and other forests have
grown and died, and so through
ceaseless cycles, but Stone Mountain
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1920-07-19

has treated the trees as tn ugh they
were the leaves of autumn.
Successive races of men have made
their wonder in strange tongues,
gazed up at the big rock and spoken
their wonder in strange in tongues,
but the mountain has not changed
with the changing civilizations that
have beat about its base. The light
of far stars has made it's salute as it
passed out of measureless space on
its way to distant worlds, and the big
granite rock has received the salute
in silent grandeur. 1t has never told
its age, and no arithmetic can COM
pute how long it will live.
A great sculptor has dreamed that
he might carve the memorials of hu-
man war on its cheek, and blast a
hall of fame in it's side; but the
greatest of all sculptors, the AL
mighty, has already carved the men,
orial of eternity on Stone Mountain,
and it is one of Gods temples of
fame.
And yet Stone Mountain, the
eighth wonder of the world, is just
tiny pebble of planet earth, and
earth a tiny atom in the sweep of
endless worlds.

and the interest rate on new bond
issues.
The capitalist, like the wage
Garner, has been hit by the high
cost of living. His 6 per cent doesn't
buy him the same luxuries and COM
forts it formerly did. One hundred
thousand dollars at 6 per cent only
brings in a beggarly $4,000 interest
which, with gas at 80 cents, hard
ly keeps his automobile running. He
can only increase his in, ONE from a
given amount of capital by getting
higher interest for it. Therefore, he
won't invest it except where the
higher interest is assured Instead
of 6 per cent, he says he must have
8 or 10 if he is to continue living
on his normal scale.
The issuance of 8 per cent mort
gage bonds by established and con-
sentative corporations is the first
step in meeting this strike by capt.
tai. The next will be to make the
dividend rate on stock issues on a
similar basis.
Before this strike by capital is
settled, we MY expect to see con-
certed and hard-fcught campaign to
put the stocks of Americas railroads
on this new dividend basis and, with
it, general increase in rates on bor-
rowed capital for any and all pur-
poses.
