Kings Mountain Battlefield

Messrs. l.. B. Robson, OF Atlanta,
and w. r. Walker, of Union, made a
trip to Kings Mountain battlefield last
Wednesday, returning to Gaffney that
evening. Both Of these gentlemen had
great-grandfathers in this memorable
contest, and they went over just to
view the landscape DER. They came
back, however, full of enthusiasm and
ideas concerning this historic spot.
They agree that it is shameful the
way our people-the people of North
and South Carolina-have neglected
the historic battlefelds of Revolu-
tionary times-especially King
Mountain and Cowpens.
After much walking these gentle
men found the spot where Furgerson
fell. 1t is marked by an inscription
on boulder, but this is rapidly dis
appearing. They also found, about a
hundred yards distant, where Furger-
son was buried in ravine. This is
also marked. Vandals have mutilated
the monuments and the whole place
has been neglected until the paths and
roadways have become almost oblit-
Grated by underground. There are
no signs to direct the visitor, or any
indication that anyone has the least
interest in the place.
at is shameful" said Mr.. Robson.
ut is about time that the descend
ants Of the brave men who blazed the
pathway for American liberty were
taking some interest in these historic
spots. If the battle Of Kings Noun
tain and the battle of Cowpens had
taken place in the North they would
have been revered and honored by the
People of the North, while we of the
South sit supinely by and permit bat
tlefields that are entitled to greater
distinction that Yorktown or Bunker
Hill to be neglected and forgotten. I
would suggest that the D. A. RS.
take up this matter and attempt to
revive interest therein. A good road
should be built from the town of
Kings Mountain to the battlefield
and thence on to Grover, signs put
up and tourists invited to go via the
battlefield and become acquainted
with the part the South played in the
Revolutionary war. The United States
government should build these roads,
but there should be filing station
located at the monument and a re-
freshment stand where tourists could
get sold drink and lunch and post
cards and pamphlets containing short
sketches Of the important event. This
could be done for few hundred dol

Realize "a Bushels of
Corn on 100 to be Grown

Washington, Oct. 21.-Of every 1OC
bushels of corn that farmers set out
to grow, only Cd bushels are realized
according to figures compiled by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture over period of thirteen
years. The difference between the
potential crop and the quantity har-
vested is due TO weather conditions,
defective seed, plant diseased and in
sect ard animal pests. For every
bushel of corn harvested somewhat
over one-half bushel fails to reach
harvest.
Were 1t not for the elements that
tend to reduce the size of the crop,
the average crop for the thirteen
year period would have been about
4,374 900 900 bushels instead of the
2,SO5, 100000 bushels actually har-
vested, provided the same acreage had
been planted.
The department points out, how
ever, that if these elements did not
exist and corn growers were certain
of 100 per cent results, the corn
acreage probably owuld have been
greatly reduced, so that the final out
turn might not have been a larger
crop than that actually harvested. It
void mean that the farmer could get
from two acres the crop he now har-
vests from about three. i

State to Depict
Growth of Chatauous

Columbus, o., Oct. 2l.-Commem-
Grating the fiftieth anniversary Of the
founding Of the Chautauqua Institu-
tion in New York Larado Taft, Chi
caga sculptor, has been authorized by
the International Lyecum and Chau-
tauqua Association to prepare a suit
able statue depicting the origin
growth and purpose Of the arganiza-
tion.
Suprlementing this recognition Of
the movement founded in 1873 by
Bishop John H. Vincent of the Meth
odist Church, and Lewis Miller, an
Ohio manufacturer, chautauqua lee
turers next season will unite in devot-
ing attention to observance of the
;em centennial
Chautauqua Institution, of which
Arthur Fl. Bestor is president, has
initiated three movements in the edu-
cationaI world, it is pointed out-the
summer assembly, the summer school
and the home reading circle. From
the summer assembly has come more
than 10000 circuit chautauquas.
At the end of the first fifteen
years. the reading circle enrolment
was 100000 students, among them be-
ing the late Ebert Hubbard and
Thomas A. Edison. The latter, while
studying at Lake Chautauqua, met
and married Mr.. Miller's daughter.
The modern circuit chautauqua was
originated by Keith Vawter, Cedar
Rapids, Ia, in 1904.

Mr.. Robson makes a just criticism
concerning our neglect of Kings
Mountain, and we also think his sug-
gestions as to how to improve cond-
tions should be given due considera-

Flood Threatens to Sweep Over City
Hoover Resurrects Super Power Project" to Minimize
 Effects of Future Strikes

WASHINGTON. Apr. 7.-(By the Associated Press)--The proposed "super-power project" for the Atlantic seaboard, between Boston and Wash ington, was taken up by President Harding and his cabinet today during Q general discussion of the coal strike as a means of minimizing the effect of similar strikes in the future on the economic fabric of the country. The discussion was said to have been most thorough, although no definite were reached.
 The discussion was based on the re- port of a commission of engineers. for such project was submitted to congress nearly two years ago, and has since lain dormant. Secretary Hoover, who was member of the. en- gineers' commission, submitting the proposition for discussion today it was said that the cabinet intends to con tinue it's study of the subject with it's
