Who Remembers Danville, Site of
First Brick Building in County
and Rivers First Steamboat?

This story Of DanvilIe brought out
other qquestions of old land marks
me one wished to know where the
first brick building was erected il
Americas.
Right where the Americas Drug
company now stands, Is the sight OF
the first brick building in Ameri
GUS" said this old citizen. There
was a double store on this corner
facing Jackson street. For a mum
Der of years it was the only brick
building and IS now the only one OF
the first buildings remaining"
That reminds q e. the old citizen
went on. when I came to this sec.
ton in the year 1870 old citizens US.
ed to tell of the wonderful deer hunt:
in the valley to the south of the city
Deer would stray out from the creek
swamp and feed up the valley about
where the S. A. L. depot now stands
An immense boulderN stood where
Hightower's store IS located and this
boulder was used as a lookout by
the hunters Of course this was long
before Americas was started.
At one time in the history of Amer.
icus," continued the speaker, "the
leading hotel stood where the court
house now stands I recall that at
one time Sunset Cox, who was E
citizen of Ohio, later marrying a
rich lady in New York and elected
to the U. S. senate, came to Ameri-
Gus to see Gen. Phil Cook who board
ed at this hotel I went to Genera
Cooks room one day and had the
pleasure of meeting Sunset, Cox. In
those days nearly everybody of any
prominence in the South, was called
major, or colonel or general. Sun
set was commenting on this and said
to General Cook that when he reach
ed Augusta they called him major
and before he arrived in Americas
he was called colonel, and that be.

sure that he would. be promoted tc

STATE ASSEMBLY
HONORS A POET

LICOLN, Nebr., June 4. - Of
fetal recognition of an American
poet by a law-making body came
during the present se.llon Of the Ne
braSka legislature when the senate
and house of representatives passed
a joint and concurrent resolution
naming John G. Neihardt poet laure-
ate of Nebraska.
This official action on the part Of
the state was taken by way Of recog-
nizing the significance of the Amerl-
can Epic Cycle upon which Neihardt
has been working steadily for seven
years, and which William Stanley
Braithwsite, literary critic of the
Boston Transcript" has characteriz-
ed as zone of the profoundly notable
and one of the few original things
in the development of American
poetry"
Two pieces of the Epic, "The Song
of Hugh Glass" and "The Song Of
the Three Friends" have already ap-
peared, the latter having won the
prize of the Poetry Society for the
best volume of verse published by
an American in 1919. The author is
INV "OlhAiS upOtA VIC ClL-I - SSNtISt-
of the Epic, "The Song of the In
dian Wars" which will be completed
in 1928.
The entire collection when due will
consist of five pieces and the compile
ton of the task will require more
than decade of the life of the poet.
The epic deals wholly with the ma
terials of western history during
the first four decades of the nine
teenth century, and all the scenes
lie in the region between the Mis-
souri, river and the Rocky Mountains.
Neihardt holds that this material
is as truly epic in its nature as were
the wars of the Greeks over Troy
or the adventures of Ulysses, and
they are infinitely more interesting
to Americans.

ed to feel that he had been walked
on by the cabinet member. Loud
language. Somebody swore. Some
BODY called somebody else strong
names. The story was printed and
later Daugherty was asked about it.
''Frelinghuysen and | are good
friends Daugherty answered. eve

True, strong names are sometimes
used as token of affection between
bosom pals. Maybe that was how it
happened.

THE INSIDE
NEWS OF
WASHINGTON
BY 3. 3. HUNT.

WASHINGTON, Juns 4.-Pres-
sure from the folks back home" to
cut down taxes, expressed through
thousands of letters received daily
by senators and congressemen-some
pleading, some threatening caus-
ing congress mere worry and per
plexity than did the problems of war.
In the face of fixed charges on
national debt and the expense OF
maintaining an adequate army and
navy through the period of readjust-
ment following the war, it seems I'M
possible to make reduction in taxes
sufficient to satisfy public clamor.
Pressure for relief from heavy
tax burdens caused the senate to cut
out Of the navy appropriation bill
money for the proposed navy base at
Alameda, Calf.
It was the same pressure that
lined UP the senate in favor of Sen
ator Borah's proposal that the pres
ident be requested to open negotia-
tions with Great Britain and Japa2
for an agreement to limit laval con
struction.
The same pressure is causing the
administration to view tavoraDly the
proposal to fund the government
floating debt through a new bond Is,
sue so it will not have 10 be met out
of current taxes within the next three
years.
:
Next to reducing taxation, Con-
gress is interested in Disgusting tax,
alton. Any plan that will raise mon
ey with the least irritation to the
man who pays it finds strong sup
port.
