800 Mound Sites Located.
Archaeological work also will be
pushed actively in the neighborhood
of Muscle Shoals and Wheeler Dam.
In this country more than 300 mounds
sites have been located. They were
erected as burial places or elevations
for temples by people of the Musko-
gean race, probably near relatives OF
the present-day Greeks or their in
mediate ancestors. The excavations
may furnish new light on the trail
followed by fernando de Soto through
the South on his memorable expedi-
ton to the Mississippi.
But the biggest archaeological job OF
the Tennessee Valley Authority deals
with the graves OF the pioneer set
tiers in East Tennessee people al
most as much covered with the mists
of tradition as the Indians whom they
displaced. More than 1000 graves al
ready have been found In the area
which will be flooded by the waters
OF Norris Lake. Some of them were
burial places of the long hunters, "
the contemporaries of Daniel Boone,
who used to venture alone into the
great wilderness" from the Virginia
and North Carolina settlements and
remain for months completely cut of
from civilization. Others are graves
OF Revolutionary soldiers, members Of
the buckskin-shirted militia who
fought the battle of Kings Noun
tain.
In the old days it was customary
for each family to bury its dead near
its own cabin. There was a marked
aversion to burial in public grave
yard Even in death the pioneer did
not want close neighbors. The graves
were marked with stones from the
nearby hillsides. No names were
carved on them. The identity of the
dead was preserved, for the most part,
cnly in local tradition and memory.
The difficult job facing the Tennessee
Valley Authority is to piece together
these bits of tradition. There are also
several churchyard cemeteries.
1t is planned to lay out, close to the
reservoir, national pioneer cemetery
to which these dead will be moved,
with the consent Of surviving relatives,
if there are any. Plans still are quite
indefinite and are being worked out
in close cooperation with the Ten
nessee Valley churches

The guilty conscience Of woman
who violated a Christmas parole three
years ago yesterday drove her back
to the State Penitentiary here to COM
plete a 20-year sentence for second
degree murder.
Mrs Edna Naro of Birmingham VOL
unfairly surrendered to officials yes

able" over breaking her promise to
return after her Christmas parole in
1880.
She and her husband were con-

the price Roberts was to pay for liquor
he had purchased at their home.
Both escaped while on Christmas
parole in 1880. Naro Is still listed as

(Copyrisht. 1884, by The Evening Starr
- PADES of archeologists are prob
ing the mystery of the great
wilderness"
~ What human history lay be-
hind the almost impenetrable
forest which confronted the flrst
white men to make their way over
the Blue Ridge into the valley OF
East Tennessee? Little enough is
known of the prehistory of the region.
Written records do not go back of the
occupation of the region by the mill
tant Cherokee hunters, yet there Is
every reason to believe that these
aboriginal inhabitants themselves
came there as lat conquerors or
inheritors of the abandoned land.
Back of them lay probably 1000
years of intermittent human habita-
ton by a people of whom practically
nothing is known and whose scanty
remains could be obliterated forever
by a few scoops of the hill-leveling
steam ShovelS. Perhaps they were
ancestors of the Cherokees. Perhaps
they were of an entirely different In
dian race-remotely akin to the nnys-
terious mound builders of the Ohio
Valley-which vanished without leav-
ing any known descendants.
Cherokees Built Mounds.
The Cherokees themselves were-and
still are-mound builders of differ
ent sort. Thus far they were respon-
sible for the only actual remains
found in the mounds eXcavated in the
region to be flooded by the new Lake
Morris. These Indians buried their
dead in way still practiced to some
extent by their descendants. A house
of logs was built around the corpse.
The structure was then covered with
earth, in the form of small mound.
In few years the tomb would be COW
cred with vegetation. Sometimes
various objects were placed in the
grave with the corpse, which, when
they can be located, throw much light
on the religious and domestic prac-
tices of their old culture.
This is the sort of burial which Prof
II A. Webb of the University of Ken
lucky, in charge of the T. v. A.
archaeological work. is uncovering
around the dam area. In one case, it
is reported. such a tomb was found
when the rotten logs collapsed under
a farmers team. There is always the
possibility that some faint traces of
the more ancient people will turn up.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Heading
j South, Feb. 26.-On this train
as it rumbles through the bleak
pine forests of the Carolinas, a
group of Philadelphians are talking
fight. They are on their way to
Miami to see Tommy Loughran bat
tie Primo Carnera for the heavy
weight championship Wednesday
night.
They like Loughran; they more
than like him. They come close to
idolizing him. Loughran is native
of Philadelphia. He has made good
as a fighter and a citizen. He is
the biggest hero Philadelphia has
had since Home-Run Baker.
Whenever Loughran steps into the
ring, Philadelphia is behind him

spiritual esteem by his fellow-towns-
men as Bobby Jones was by Geor-
gians when he was playing COM

Philadelphians there is only one
fighter in the world-and I am not
so sure they are right.

it an hour and a half, delaying
the game that long. Finally they
