A telephone message was received
last Tuesday, by Mrs. j. ". Holt, a
hte-long trend OF the deceased, an
nounclng the death of Mrs. 5. l..

June 2nd at her home in Tuscaloosa.
Mrs. Wilkerson who was the daugh-

was born on the old Bryson estate in
Macon, in lS43 where she grew up
amid the luxurious surroundings that
existed on the splendid old anti bel
lum plantation that she called home.
The han6lome old homestead that
for so many years was a land mark
Of true old southern prosperity and
expansive comfort, until few years
back, when it was destroyed by fire,
was picturesque sight. crOwning the
rise known as "Bryson's Hill" east
of Macon, and just across from the
Odd Fellows cemetery.
Here she spent her early life and here
she was married to Capt. S. c. Wilk-
erson, in April, 1868. She was unusu-
ally bright and gifted and as a woman
Of intellectually, she stood far above
the average, besides possessing a keen
sense of wit and humor and a charm
ing personality that made her pre-
eminent as a social leader.
After the war, she removed, with
her husband to Tuscaloosa, where she
made her home up to the time of her
death, though she early became a
widow. After her husbands death,
she managed the large estate that
was hers, with deXterity, and made a
phenominal success Of the manage
ment of her affairs. During her lat
ter years, she was practically alone
as to family correction, niece, Mrs.
Givin Campbell, daughter Of the late
Dr.. John Bryson, one of the most
noted surgeons Of the east, being her
only living relative.
Mrs. Wilkerson came Of long line
Of distinguished ancestors-Coonel
Archie Butt, who lost his life at the
sinking of the Titanic was a
cousin. She was related to
Frank Moody and Mrs Ingram
Purser, and cannected with the
Foster family, all Of whom are promi-
nent families of Tuscaloosa.
In Difference to her lifelong de-
sire, that her body be cremated after
death, her remains, accompanied by
DR. Campbell we're carried 20 =.
Louis for cremation, after which the
ashes viii be shipped to Macon and
inferred on the Bryson lot, between her
father and mother.
Mrs Wilkerson, on her occasional
visits to Macon, was always the guest
Of Mrs. J. w. Holt, whose friendship,
she declared, was inherited from a
former generation.

THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL
By Emile A. Ward

IL stands above the crowd as once he stood,
A temple whose design We owe TO Greece ;
Well chosen is the spot, for hill and wood
Each lends its charm of beauty and Of peace.
The quiet stream with banks green and fair
Reflects, at sunset. violet, rose and geld;
And later. purple shadows fiji the air,
And like a veil. the pure white stones snfold
noble figure rests within the shrine. ----
Wrought by the artist hand with Phidisn
skill,
The fire Of genius burned-a spark divine
And cold. hard stone was nodded TO his viii
In awe We stand. for in that face there lies
Serenity. and courage unsfrsid;
A great and patient sadness in the eyes
Bears witness TO the tragic part he played.
What draws today all classes of mankind
Has naught to do with pomp and vanity :
1t is the strength and kindness which We find
In this great lover Of humanity. --
The above poem by Miss Emile
Ward, written on the occasion Of the
dedication of the Lincoln Memorial,
in Washington, will be read with in
terest by her many friends here. Miss
Ward, in the perfection of her poetic
expression. is proving herself a true
daughter of her poetic father, VIII
, liam Ward, who as a writer OF verse,
left some poems that were truly greL
both as to thought and expression.
To those who remember the beauty
Of his verse, and his fluent ease of
production, there will be TO cause for
wonder at the entirely perfected pro-
duction that won renown for Miss
Ward on this momentous occasion.

Lelt-handed pitchers worthwhile
are much sought after by every
major league club.
No pitching staff is really COM
plete unless it boasts one good eft
handler. Four sterling right hand
ers, and one equally left handler, is
the ideal pitching staff.
Every season about twelve right
handed pitching recruits to one
southpaw report in the spring for a
major league trial.
Since the southpaws are greatly
in the minority. their chances of
sticking are correspondingly les
sened. If a major league club hap
pens to pick up one worthwhile

Copper Metal stock. smaller.

Important as was the steel report,
however. it Is likely that another per-
tanning to copper stocks was of greater
monert. This report indicates that the
total stocks on hand at present In this
country aggregate but 279, 100000 pounds
of copper. which compares with about
ASS. 100000 pounds at the beginning Of
the year. 1t is understood that there
are. still 1S0.00O.OO0 rounds of the cop
per marked for export under the pro-
visions of the $40.000.000 note issue Of
the Copper Export Association still to be
disposed Of abroad, so that there remains
available for domestic consumption less
than 100, 100000 pounds. Domestic con-
sumption during the first six months ag-
gregated about 410,000,000 pounds, or
at the monthly rate OF little less than
100000. 900 pounds. which means that
the present surplus stocks of copper

Market Turn. Dum Again.

The entire stock market turned dull
again yesterday and after the sharp
spurts Of Friday and Saturday the ses-
sion appeared very tame. There were
no particular news developments which
would be apt to give the market impetus
either one way or the other and II was
news that was expected more than news
that developed that played any part In
yesterdays trading in stocks. The steel
merger stocks. except Midvale. were un-
der pretty persistent accumulation most
of the day In anticipation Of a favorable
statement from Washington concerning
the consolidation. Midvale. on the other
hand. was notably weak. Market ex-
perts were somewhat at a loss to account
for the extreme strength Of Republic on
these expected developments. with Mid
vale following a downward course. II
was recalled. however. that even when
the merger terms we're first announced
the Republic issues responded with a
great deal more buoyancy than did
Midvale.
