Hie ladies of the Oconee Monument Associai ion, held last Saturday afternoon, il was de cided lo go ahead willi the work of erecting a shaft lo the memory of Oconec's dead heroes of tho Confed eracy. This work lias lagged regrettably iv'- years; yet the holies who have had in charge ihe Hinds raised for I he pm |n?se of mtitabb perpetuating the memory of Oconec's Confederate dead have never lost hean, and to day thc tumis, including accrued Interest on Ihe amounts loaned out, aggregate $700. This is no' sn til - clent to accomplish Ihe end desired. Some lime ago a handsome design was submitted al the request of the ladies of Ibis Association not an expensive, elaborate or pretentious affair, hut a l|andso*.ie, substantial mid enduring memorial to those whose lives were given in defense of their country and its principles, Tiiis monument will cost about ? 1,000, and it isl be intent iou of the Monument Association to go ahead ul an early date, giving thc contract for Its completion and erection. They have not in baud the funds necessary to pay for it in full, but the designers have kindly consented <o credit on the purchase price what funds art? raised, and Willi on the ladies of i ho Association for the bal ance. The mon union I is going to he .cted. Now the Question arises, are the men and women of Oconee going to let tin se ladles continue lo give lawn parties, dinners, etc., to make up the balance required to accomplish the end, or will WC cont rlbule,' each a small part, and save them this work and mort ideation of having to serve dinners and give parlies to raise funds willi which to comm?m or?t?' the memory of those who gave tledr lives for tho country whose liberties and blessings we enjoy? We believe that the pei pie of Oco nee will answer the question satis factorily. Why should these ladies be com pelled to labor longer to 10 A UN money for this purpose, when by al most no effort at all we can QI Vii, each luit a small amount, and raise the needed balance? 'To this end The Courier volun teers ti) collect and receive from any source any amounts that our people feel disposed to contribute. We will receive contributions, publish tho names o! contributors and remit weekly to the ladies of the Assoela ! lon. Who will he the li rs I to answer this last call .' Let us not stand hack and wait for others to do OTU duty. This monument ir; designed to commemorate the Confederate dead of Oconee county, and every citizen of the county should feel an inter est iii it, in getting it as early a possible, and in having the best pos sible memorial to our honored dead. Let us gel to work ' Within the dav s of ihe coming week we hop,, our people will take it upon themselves to solicit sub scriptions. We will receive, publish and remit all contributions collected by others and sent us. as well as all sent to us direct This ls a won liv cause, and we commend it t ? the kindly considera tion of over) citizen of Oconee lt takes hut a stamp to send remit tance, and In .onie Instances only tho stopping io give a coin. Let us have contributions the larger the lu tter, of course - but remember that xvc "despise not the dav of small things." Strange, isn't it.' With all this hullabaloo about the North Pole, no body has set thought' to inquire of Peary or Cook about the Pole Cat. ? * . . . lt looks like it ls up to the busi ness men of Walhalla to "turn on the light" so far as the town is con cerned. The ? ll si noss Men's League has continued Its committee to look Info the matter of lights, and there ls no question in oi.r minds that a satisfactory and ample plant can be launched and operated to great ad vantage to the town. Let us keep hammering at lt tm we get lt. Wal halla is too big a town to place Itself longer where lt can have lights only nt the pleasure of one man or com pany of men. The town ought to own Hs own lighting system. i MISKIN ANDERSON'S IMMFNSi: Premium Sal?' - Large Stork of doods t?' Boloct From.

Kitty years ago, when Cobden was fighting in England for the overthrow Of the protective system and Hie re peal of the corn laws, he predicted that after the establishment of the policy of free trade British working men would enjoy the luxury of hav ing wheat bread on their tallies. This prophecy was soon verified, and to-day the cost of living is >ry much less in Great Krltain than in the United States. Men who are old enough to recall the condition of British workmen before the days of Cobden's great reform are not among ( hose In longland who favor a ret turn to protective tariffs. One of them in a recent letter to the Lon don Dally News recalls the "grace before meat," which his fat lier fre quently used when everybody ate protected bread. It ran as follows: O Heavenly Father, bless us And keep us all alive; There are ten of us to dinner, And food for only five. Found Guilty of Murder. Mobile. Ala..

OOO Miles Away. The planet Mars lias been attract ing the interest of astronomers for the past two months and will be one of our nearest neighbors on Septem ber 2 I. lt w ill be only 35.000,000 miles from the earth. This is the nearest distance the planet ever ionics to the earth. Such a distance may seem consid ?rai)!.- to an unastronomical mind, lint to star students it is merely a little stroll around the block. The sun is '.MI,.".un,non miles away, and there an- other bodies so remote that a trillion or so years are required tor one of their winks to reach us. Sometimes even Mars wanders off to a point on the eclipse which is 231, 000.000 miles away. Numbers of telescopes are already being turned upon the planet and everybody is caner to see just how it will look on the night ol' Septem ber 24. Students expec t then to set the Nert li and South Pole of Mars and a very Interesting sight that will lu- in view of what has recently hap pened on the earth. It is easy enough to see these poles through a good lense, and presumably they look pretty much like the earth's. About once every 1", years Mars gets as close to us as lt v'll lie on Sep tember 24. Advices received from San Fran cisco state that Prof. Campbell and a party of astronomers who have returned from Mount Whitney,where they spent some time watching the planet, have secured a picture of lt? surface, which proves beyond ques tion that Mars ls habitable by senti ent creatures; that ls to say. lt will sustain life. The picture shows, they say, that water vapor exists there. CANAL ZONK SHA KV. Seismic Disturbances Revealed Thcro During ili?> Month of August.
