PICTURES APPEAR
UPON TOMBSTONES
FEATURES ARE NATURAL AS
IN PHOTO. ATTRACTING
MUCH ATTENTION.

FAIR BLUFF, N. C.-Quite a bit
of interest has been created in town
and the nearby country by freakish
pictures that have recently made their
appearance on tombstones in the Fair
Bluff cemetery.
The tombstones in question are OF
snow white marble. On one of them,
erected in 1911 over the grave of a
well known woman, there are the dis
tinct outlines of a woman's head and
body on the side fronting over the
grave. The most conspicuous feature
is the hair. The facial features are
dim, but the hair is as perfect and nat
ural as in any photograph. 1t is done
up in colonial style, and with the 9TH
er features it appears to be mbedded
in the stone with a thin veil of stone
covering it and partly hiding it from
the onlooker.
In the same family plot over grave
of a brother of the woman, who died
in 1908, there is a perfect reproduc-
ton of Texas saddle, deep-seated and
with the high horn and fanks. Even
the heavy straps and heavy leather
stirrups are there. Coincident with the
presence of the saddle on the stone it
is interesting to note that the young
man buried in that particular grave
was a bit wild and that he spent some
time in the west on the rnage.

DIGGING OUT BIBLE CITY

lonianS and Egyptians IN the more re-
mote past had held it for longer pc
riods. When the Asyrian came down
like a wolf on the fold" Beth-shan
was taken and retaken several times
in few centuries by the great war
riors of the near east Then there was
Greek domination, Roman occupation
through centuries, and, finally, Arab
control, which was interrupted for al
most a century when the crusaders set
up the kingdom of Jerusalem.
1t can be seen that here appears to
be an opportunity to learn much OF
unknown history not only through
digging down through residuary strata
of seven or more cities, where abun-
dant relics are certain to be found, but
in the hope of finding inscribed stelae,
bronze tablets and those written on
clay in cuneiform character. Much IL
Elimination of biblical records should
result.
Beth-shan was the site of the last
appearance of King Saul, great fig
ure in the early history of Israel as a
kingdom. 1t was near Beth-shan that
the witch of Endor lived, she whom
Saul consulted as to his fate.
At present the greater part OF the
city lies buried beneath the plain, with
a few of the monuments still visible
The citadel, which will be excavated
stands about sixty feet above the
plain, and that work will be compara-
lively easy. 1t looks almost like an
immense rock, but this is due to the
fact that walls have been continually
extended upward. Whenever a city
was destroyed in ancient times it was
the practice to level off the debris and
use it as a new foundation,
The site is on railroad running
from Haifa to Damascus; it is we'll
watered, and lies in the center of a
rich agricultural district. There is an
abundant supply of native labor among
the Arabs who live near there, and the
digging itself can be done with pick
and shovel alone, SO work can proceed
under advantageous conditions.-New
York Times.

The holy land has been the battle
ground of many civilizations, and has
been prime object of study and ex-
ploration by historians and archaeolo-
gists. Now it is planned to uncover
one OF Palestine's most important
cities of the past, a spot over which
no less than nine separate civilizations
have lived and struggled.
The museum OF the University OF
PENNSYLVANIA has received official per-
mission from the Palestine govern
ment to excavate Beisan, the Beth
shan of the bible, situated in the val
ley of Jezreel, the narrowest point IN
the great strategical center between
Mesopotamia and Egypt.
Within sight of this CITY more great
battles have been waged than on any
other spot known to tie world, &C
cording to some authorities. From the
time of Abraham, Rameses, Saul and
David, down through the ages, such
names as Josiah, Alexander. Pompey,
Napoleon and Allenby have been con-
nected with the struggles over what is
known to Christians and Jews as the
holy land.
Clarence S. Fisher, whose work for
the last five years in Egypt, uncov-
ering the palace of the pharoah OF the
exodus, has brought him into prom
inent notice, will be in charge of the
work This will be the first Ameri-
can expedition to the near east since
the armistice.
Beth-shan is within a few miles of
the Mount of TRANSPORTATION. Why
this city on an eligible site became
depopulated is not known, but prob
ably it was due to the destructive
policies of the Osmanli Turks, who
left blight wherever their feet have
trodden. Beth-shan has been recon-
mended by the great biblical scholars

to the whole history of that section of
the world. Present knowledge indi-
Gates that after the primitive settle
ments in Beth-shan came the so-called
Amorites. Apparently David took the
city, and Solomon later held it. Baby

FIRST LEGAL SNAG
OF RAILROAD BOARD
ENCOUNTERED IN CASE OF
GEORGIA AND FLORIDA. OR
DER BY STATE COURT.

CHICAGO.-The first legal snag
which the railroad labor board has en-
countered came to light today when
counsel for the Georgia and Florida
railway under a receivership establish
ed by state superior court, cited an
order saying it was mot only the pow
er but the duty of the court to deter
mine what wages should be paid in
the preservation of the property in
charge of the court"
The court assumed entire responsi-
bility for wage reductions, which en-
p1oyes contended before the board
were without agreement with en-
p1oyes. The order, dated April IA,
1921, came from Judge Henry c.
Hammond of the superior court of
Richmond county, Georgia, ratifying a
wage reduction Jan. l. 1921, and re-
serving the right, though it is hoped
that it may not be necessary to exer-
else the same, to further reduce said
wage scale should it be necessary to
protect said property"
Answering charges of E. P. Curtis,
speaking for the employees, that the
receiver had reduced wages without
the formalities required by the trans
portation act Ben Cain, representing
the carrier, read lengthy statement
setting forth the condition of the road.
Unless operating expenses were reduc-
ed, he said, the road would have been
forced to close down and, upon appeal
to court, the lreceiver was advised
that the court assumed full authority
for putting a lower wage scale into
effect

AMERICAN MARINES
FLAYED BY HAITI
CITES LONG SERIES OF AL
LEGED ATROCITIES. CALLS
INQUIRY A Joke"

Charging a long series OF atrocities
by American marines and the native
gendarmes in Haiti and demanding
the withdrawal of the United States
military forces, three Haitian dele
gates have arrived in Washington to
present a memorial to President Hard
ing and congress- The memorial calls
the five years of military occupation
"the most terrible regime of military
autocracy which has ever been carried
on in the name of the great American
democracy"
The American naval investigation
conducted last year by board under
Rear Admiral Mayo, following first
series of charges, is characterized as
a "ioke," and Rear Admiral Knapp is
accused of having done nothing at all
when he visited Haiti to make person
al inquiry.
Many Charges Preferred.
The memorial charges the marines
with using the water cure" and other
tortures on prisoners. The Americans
are accused of removing $50O,0O0 OF
Haitian bonds, which, it is said, were
deposited in a New York bank ito
force the Haitian government to ac-
cept control of the customs house,
Systematically depriving it of financial
resources" 1t is charged that more
than 1000 prisoners died 1918, 1919
and 1920 in the prisons at Camp Hal
tian.
For these wrongs and injuries" the
Haitian people ask reparation, and re-
quest immediate abolition of martial
law and court martial. They also re-
quest the immediate withdrawal OF the
American military forces.
Characterizing as rot" the charges
made by the Haitian delegates, Sec
retary OF the Navy DENLY declared
that the navy department will well
come any investigation that congress
might care to make of conditions in
that republic Secretary DENLY said
the conduct of the marines has been
above reproach and a credit to the
corps.
