THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL
BY TT. MAXEY

IT. HOSE who have visited foreign
L lands say that no other similar

size, beauty or location, with the great,
simple and admlrably-sltuated monu-
ment erce'ed by the people Of Amer
lea, In the capital Of the nation, as
fitting tribute to the memory Of the
kindness and the greatness Of our
lincoln
Near the White House and the
Washington Monument, and between
the Capitol building and the National
cemetery, this memorial is destined
to become one of the mOst-vSited Of
all the public buildings of the world.
The building is POP feet long, 49,
feet wide and surrounded by row
Of marble columns, several feet in d.
ameter at the base and A feet high.
In the center Of the interior is a
colossal statue of Lincoln, In seated
position. Including the base, IL Is 30
feet high. 1t weighs 175 tons. 1t took
twenty marble cutters eighteen
months to carve this statue
In each of the side walls are set
monumental bronze tablets-one of
Lincolns famous Gettysburg address,
the other of his masterful second in
augural address, while between these
and the statue Is a row Of 80 columns,

HOME OF WASHlN GTON
an THE peaceful and picturesque
" shore of the River Potomac, some
sixteen miles south Of our national
capital, stands Mount Vernon-the
home of The Father of His Country.
1t was so named in honor of Ad-
miral Vernon of the British navy and
1t Is to the efforts Of the Mount YER
non Ladies' association Of the Union
that the citizens Of America are In
debted for the preservation Of this
national shrine.
Occupying a site Of great charm,
commanding sweeping view of broad
river and pleasing landscape, Is this
grand old mansion-to which the young
officer came to live shortly after his
marriage and to which he retired from
the presidency, to spend his days in
a manner befitting one Of his rank,
means and time, and where he died
In 1799.
The structure was built In 1743
and contains many of the original
furnishings and relics of the family.
Clustered about 1t are the barn, coach
house, spinning house, meat house, Ice
house, wash house, kitchen and other
outbuildings. Nearby is remarkable,
old-fashioned garden, with quaint,
oddly-deslgned spaces set off by box
hedges, said to be $50 years old. In
this garden is coffee tree said to
have been planted in 1924 by General
Lafayette and cuttings from willow
tree which 1t is claimed were brought
from the grave of the great Napoleon
at st. Helena.
Enclosed In two marble sarcophagi,
In small and simple structure within
the grounds, rest the remains Of Gen

The Oceans
(For the GaZette)

(For the GaZette)
The Pacific is fully mile deeper
than any other ocean.
Four-fifths Of the worlds halibut
supply comes from the waters of the
United States Pacific Coast.
The route from England to India
is strewn with treasures of lost YES
sells, the estimated value of which
reaches S400;O00,000.
In the polar regions the seas con-
tain a much less proportion of salt
than at the equator.
In "a ton of water from the At
lantic there is 81 pounds of salt; a
tor of water from the Dead Sea con-
tains 1877 pounds of salt.
The blue of the ocean is not, as
generally supposed, due to the ret7ec-
tic nof the sky, but to the salt con-
tanned in ocean water.
According to the Geodctic Survey
the waters Of the oceans gradually
grow colder until depth Of four
miles is reached, where the tempcra-
ture is 35 degrees. Because of the in
terror heat of the earth, the water at
this depth again becomes warmer.

TODAY'S
THOUGHT
THE SOUTH'S DEVELOPMENT


We said ina recent editor
ial that the South had stag
gered under a burden, laid
upon her by the War be-
tween the States, greater
than that left by the World
War upon the Germans and
their allies. That her re-
cuneration had been little
short of amazing, and that
the next fifty years would
see her foremost in the
United States, in not one but
many things. Poverty
stricken in 1880, handicap
ped by a bestial government
of carpet-baggers, it took
years before she could get
even a fair start.
We desire to make one
change in our statement: in
stead of fifty years, the time
required for her pre-emin-
ence will be less than ten
years.
The statistician Of the
Manufacturers Record has
been analysing the figures Of
the 1920 census, and the re-
suits are startling. For in
stance, the capital invested
in the South, in manufacture
ing in 1880, was $50 millions
of dollars, with products
valued at 623 millions. In
1920, the capital amounted
to nearly seven billions, with
a value of about ten billions.
The amount of capital in
vested in 1920 was equal to
over SO per cent Of the total
amount invested in the rest
of the country in 1900; and
the products of southern
factories for the census year
of 1920 was nearly equal to
the total value of the manu-
featured products of the
rest Of the United States in
1900. Between 1910 and
1920 the capital invested in
Southern manufacturing in
creased about four billions
of dollars. In the same per-
iod the value of the manu-
! featured products increased
about seven billions.
The South is now produc-
ing the same total value Of
manufactures as the entire
country outside of the South
less than twenty years ago.
This marvellous increase has
challenged the attention Of
the world and makes it al
n st certain that the in
G strial development Of the
sane section during the next
decade will be unequalled by
any other area of equal size
anywhere on the globe.
The interesting question
!arises:: is Virginia advanc-
ing pari passu with the
other states of the South?
We regret to say that APP
parently she is not. North
and South Carolina and
Georgia, for instance, have
had untold millions Of for F.
eign Capital poured into
their manufactures during |

NEW OIL WELL
 PROGRESSING
Drillers of Jarret-Hoskins Syndicate Working Night and Day in Southern
 Part of County

The most interesting development in Nevada's oil game is the operations of the Jarrette- Hoskins Oil Syndicate, from Wichita Falls, Texas who are drilling in 9-15-21. in the extreme southern part of the county. This hustling company has already set the ten inch casing at something over 200 feet and drilling has begun in earnest and will be pushed day and night to completion. The company has com potent day and night drillers and it so happens that both men are some of the promoters of the company. The test is just seven miles due west of the Lyke Watkins we'll which is creat- ing much excitement now It is hoped that the Watkins we'll which is one half mile from Nevada county line. and in Columbia county, is just on the edge of structure. and that the real oil field lies north in Nevada county In the minds of many people this is the best chance Nevada has of getting an oil field.
 It was through the untiring efforts of Mr. NJ. W. Greeson that this acre age was blocked and drilling contract let to responsible promoters.

The Kanark Oil Company. drilling Luck No. I. in 16-13-21 iS at q depth of 3O4O feet in formation hard rock. They are making about one foot per day. and the drilling k very difficult. The company expects to finish the con tract at depth of 3100 feet. They are expecting an expert from Okolo- homa daily now, to try and determine where the salt water was coming from, If this can be figured out and il is de cided that they have a chance to shut off the salt water then still another test will be made of the now famous hole On the other hand, if if is de cided the salt water can not be con auered all casing will be pulled and the hole abandoned. IL is then thought the company will build another der rick near the present test and drill new hole in an effort to find oil.
 Considerable advantage will be had inasmuch as the driller has q log of the present we'll and knows the strnc- ture. However, many think the salt water iS coming out of the sand found at 292O feet and further efforts to gel oil in the vicinity of Rosston will prove futile. It is also the opinion of many that the company does not plan to drill another well near the present test. and if they drill at all, it will be mile or more from it.

PROJECT THE MAILS.

Robbery of the United States mails
is to become little more hazardous
than it has been in the past.
The postmaster general has in
structed that men who handle valu-
able mail shall go armed and ready
to perforate any bandit who appears.
He also offers a reward of $4,000 to
any mail man who brings in a rob
her,
Citizens of small towns and rural
communities have not been so vitality
interested in the reign of crime as
are people in the large centers of
population, where the bulk of the
banditry flourishes. But when it
comes to looting the mails the blow
strikes home to every citizen, no mat
ter how isolated his residece may be.
The only good robber is dead
one. We hope the mail men shoot
often and straight.
The reward should be paid for a
dead head as freely as for live car
cass.
