o,s such who has come to the foreS
,.n;ily the last month is a tall, slimly
.ors.ructed youth, who halls from the
s,..uy Hollow club. ]. T. Mcmahon is
lis name, and he gave much promise
Yesterday Of developing into a star.
Recently he defeated young Willis
Joses in the Westchester junior
tourney, Jones having been favored to
tsts the title.
Yesterday Mcmahon won the medal
II impressive manner with a score Of
3T-.0-77, and then began his parade

fsa.ing c. Bell, of the Scottish Amer
csn Club. in the first round by score

An Even Money Bet
AcMahon acts like a golfer. looks
Hike one, and in playing uses his head
as we'll as his arms and hands. Just
q. present he looks like an even money
or better proposition to win this
tournament In driving he manages to
re, his shoulders we'll into the swing
snd generally smashes a long, straight
ball.
His putting is uniformly good, but
sts forte is his short game His ap-
prosehes yesterday to all of the greens
we're made in mastery manner, with
sound and true judgment, and in a
war that showed he did Considerable
thinking before playing the shot Above
81. Mcmahon possesses the proper
spirit to become a good player. He is
8. all times cool and composed, and
in match play or when pressed hardest
iss. his best.
Ii the qualifying round in the morn
ing the home player made few mis-
taxes and came in with the good score
Of II, which is good on any course,
whether one knows it or not

The startling surprise of the day
vas the failure of the short and stubby
Willis Jones TO qualify for the cham
vioaship. Before the start he was fig
ured as likely contender and
pialsiblo fnalist. But he failed badly
IN the morning, coming home with the
larsided score, for him, OF 50. which
lMdsd him in the fourth division.
Jones would be a wonderful little
player if he took more time and fig
ursi his shots more. The former play
ss.s OF Bobby Jones has not as yet
attained the proper mental poise need
aio become a too-notch player. How
sEsr, there is no cause for discourage
sas. He is only fifteen and few
as,e years experience will give him
:ss mental as we'll as the physical
szrina to make the best of the breaks
shsa they occur.

THINK THIS OVER FOR
A LITTLE WHILE

II the newspapers should announce
some morning Lumber industry
closes in the west" about half the
people in the states west OF the Rock
les would be directly affected and
hundreds OF thousands would be with
out jobs.
There is no danger OF the lumber
industry closin gentirely but var
ious conditions can severely cripple
and curtail its development. Saw
mills and logging camps are among
our greatest employers of labor at
good wages and yet In the very COM
inunities that live and exist by the
lumber industry we will find agita-
| tors of various kinds who would not
hesitate to wreck the industry b!
various methods such as labor radi
calism, legislative radicalism and
various taxation laws to confiscate
property. And the worst feature OF
the whole business Is that very often
thoughtless public which makes its
living from an industry such as lum-
Der will side in with the agitators to
cut off its own bread and butter not
realizing what 1t is doing.
Lumber manufacturers have di :.
cult problems to solve today in or
der to keep the industry going. The
new freight rate schedules have
created problems which must be
solved in order to allow western
lumber to compete with south pine
which has shorter haul to eastern
markets. Lumber today Is the cheap
est building material. Instead Of
bowling about the price of lumber,
which has necessarily increased the
same as other materials, IL western
people would go ahead with heir
building programs which are being
delayed. they would be benefitting
themselves by helping keep in full
operation a great employing indus
try. The Southern Pacific has an
nounced that 1t expects to spend
$25, 900, 900 for new freight cars de-
signed to use a minimum amount of
steel and maximum amount of lum-
Ell in their construction.
We all set back on our launches
and howl about the shortage of hous-
es and the high cost of building when
we are all of us making more money
Ia proportion tnan we maze Wnen
building costs were down to the 1914
figure. A little less.talk and lit
tie more action on the construction
end of the game would solve the
housing problem. While the lumber
industry is adjusting itself to the
changed conditions 1t is good time
for us to get busy with our construc-
ton programs which will prevent

THE MINING SITUATION

Phelps, Dodge corporation will proba-
bly, increase it's output of copper some
what during the next ewmonths instead
of decreasing it. This is because Burro
Mountain group Of mines is Just starting
up again, as remodeling of the mill has
been completed. On the other hand, Cal
umet and Hecla Mining company has just
shut down four of it's smaller, high cost
mines, diminishing its output about per
cent. 1t is also to be noted Anaconda's
July output was at only as per cent of
the 1918 rate. and it would not be sur
prising to see it remain about at the pre-
sent figures of II, 100000 pounds month

STONE CASTLE CHAPTER
OBSERVED FLAG DAY

cises at the Home of Mrs. Susie
Mercer Much Enjoyed.

National flag day was appropriate
ly and beautifully observed by Stone
Castle Chapter D. A. R. on Wednes-
day afternoon at the home CT Mrs.

national colors were most effectively
carried out with flowers and flags.
Baskets of blue hydrangeas with
vases of red carnations and daisies
frightened all the rooms of the pref
ty home. A most enjoyable program
was arranged by the regent, Mrs. D.
M. Dismuke. An interesting selection,
"Our Flag" was read by Mrs. j. E.
Morris. Two very pleasing vocal So
los by Miss Nellie Laing, "An Indian
Love Song" and my Daddy's My
Sweetheart" were enthusiastically
encored. "Hats Off, the Flag Is Pass
ing By was an inspiring reading by
Miss Lille Cheatham.
At the conclusion of the program

WEDDINGS OF THE WEEK

The marriage of Miss Dewey Mel
ton and Mr. Dudley johnson Mize
was beautiful event of Wednesday
evening, taking place at the hand
some home of the brides mother, Mrs
Benjamin Franklin Melton, which was
Iexquisitely decorated. White and
green was the color motif in the par
lor where the nuptial vows were TAX
en-. The large mantel was banked
almost to the ceiling with ferns, white
Ihydrangeas and myriad lighted tapers
adding to the charming effect. The
altar formed of palms and
ferns was topped with succession of
white arches supporting burning
white tapers. White hydrangeas out
lined the altar rail, fringe of palm
leaves giving a finishing touch. In the
living room and dining rooms quanti-
ties of Shasta daisies were used in
French baskets and wall pockets. The
punch bowl on the veEanda was bank
ed in Ferns and hydrangeas and was
presided over by Mesdames Carver
Fox and W. B. Grimes. The brides
book was in charge of Mrs. j. w.
Cannon, Jr., where the guests regis
tered. Receiving at the door were
Mesdames J. E. Wilkes and H. A.
Wilkinson. In the rear of the spa
cious hall was a screen of smilaX with
center arch from which the bridal
party entered From this arch ex-
tended white satin ribbons held in
place by pedestals of white topped
with punches of pink geraniums,
ferns and satin bows marking the
path of the bridal party.
Just before the bridal party enter
ed Mr.. Floyd Jennings sang II Love
You Truly" accompanied by Mrs. j.
H. Collier on the piano and Miss Vir-
ginia Hollingsworth and Mamie Cal
laway on violins. The junior maids
in white organdie carrying garlands
of white and green entered in pairs
and took their places, forming an
aisle through which the other attend
ants passed. They were Misses Es-
telle Dekle, Dorothy Dozier, Frances
Dekle, Catherine Wilkinson, Evelyn
HILL, Martha Bell, Rebecca Hill and
Emily Wilkes. The bridesmaids were
lovely gowned in pink taffeta. They
carried arms full of Radiance roses.
They were Miss Olive Jackson of Tai
lapoosa, Ga, Miss Eleanor Crouch,
Miss Annie Florrie Williams Of Ham
ilton, Ga, Miss Dorothy Fiddler of
Townsville, Ga. The matron of hon.
or, the Oldest sister of the bride, Mrs.
E. E. Dekle of Valdosta, wore flesh
colored georgette and preceded the
maid of honor, Miss Estelle Melton,
who was gowned in beautiful ere
alton of tulle and silver over satin.
The tiny ring bearer, Laura Vivian
Melton, niece of the bride, carried the
ring hidden in the heart of rose:
She was a picture of innocence and
beauty in white tulle. The bride en-
tered on the arm of her brother, Mr..
Carl Melton, and was met at the altar
by the groom and his best man, Mr..
William Pace. The ring ceremony
was most impressively performed by
the brides brother, Rev. Henry M.

this dress by edging the bottom of
the skirt with narrow black Valen-
ciennes lace and finishing the bodice
in like manner.
Still another frock of this charac-
ter is worked out in black taffeta and
a square mesh white lace. A plain
straight bodice with short set-in
sleeves has collar of lace falling in
the effect of bib to slightly above
the waistline. AS in the other dresses,
the drapery of the skirt forms the
hustle. The lace is used to make a
large apron. At the bottom
of the bodice is a double peplum of
the taffeta, which continues to form
the hustle at the back. This is ac-
centuated by bow sash of the silk.
An attractive use of lace appears
in an evening frock with ruffles of
fan-pleated lace cascading down the
entire side from the top of the bod
ice to the hem of the skirt. Drajeries
of taffeta and lace are not confined
to frocks. They take quite as impor-
tant a place in midsummer millinery.
The taffeta is usually wound around
the hat to give a draped effect and
the lace forms a brim or falls as an
eye veil.
