Not that ho mount to do it; hut ho was scuttling across the roof of tho color od <?!>?/ rn house about 12 o'clock Sat urday night trying to escape tho dutches of Chief of Police J. II. Moore and Officer Kasterling and he didn't sec tho chimney opening: at all until he was half wajf down it, and then it was too late. When he had descended Home 60 or 00 foot and was almost to the boiler room in the base ment, he came to a sudden stop. Try ing to move he found that he was jammed and could move neither up* nor down, while soot, which he had hiushed from the chimney, on bin. de scent, , showered down, almost sufFo cat ing him. tie began to yell frantically, Chief Moore hcardilhim, but it was some time before, he could locate the aoundii. When he did locate him the problem was to pet him out. They pot a rope from the tire department, and, after many trials, got it fasten ed to him. With tho help of four ne groes on the roof they hauled him out. lOither from suffocation or paral ysis from fright, lie "could not speak a word when he reached the top. Hearing such expressions as "Here you, sebm; come on, lebm, baby needs a now pair <>' shoes," the officers hivtl gone into the boiler room of the opera house to investigate and found six devotees of the galloping cubes. The six dispersed upon seeing 4 he officers, some of them running to the roof. One of them, Lane Jessie, jumped ofF the roof to the ground and escaped, which is considered quite a feat as the opera house is about f>() feet high. Kdmond Johnson, Herbert Malachi, Hartley McLeod, Gilbert Dudley and Tillman Prince were released under bond for their appearance at mayor's court Monday morning. They were fined $35 each. It is very little that the Yorkville Ktiquirer knows about that man Rog ers who was denounced by Judge Meminger at Sumter the other day. Following the denunciation Governor McLeod said that Rogers had come down to him highly recommended from Governors Cooper and Harvey, and this statement appeared in the Columbia correspondence of the News and Courier, dated Thursday: "Va rious messages of confidence in the state constable, were received by Gov ernor McLeo'rt yesterday .from solici tors, lawyers and others who had known Mr. Rogers as an officer. Some came from Sumter." Mr. Scar borough. superintendent of tin* state penitentiary. Who had been quoted in the Columbia correspondence of the News and Courier as intimating that Judge Meminger had been actuated by personal feeling, said in open court in Sumter on Thursday that the correspondent had misunderstood him. Rogers's wife had been represented as hurrying to the office of the gov ernor immediately after the publica tion of what Judge Meminger had .said, and denying between sobs that the father of her children was of "the scum of the earth." Then Judge Mem inger is quoted as having referred to" this again on Friday, saving that the woman had been to him at ajl hums of the night for protection against t he hrutaftty of her husband, and the reporters who ran to the wo- I man about that, quote her a> saying that -he had never talked to Judge! Meminger. "only knowing him ns s h. ? ? 1 saw him on the strict."

Magnificent Monument in Honor Con federate Heroes. * ? mm ? America has begun the creation of permanent work. "As temporary as un American building" is a catch-, ph rase in various parts of the world. We have been concerned with the shaping of enduring thoughts, of last , in^; ideals. Now we have entered upon a new era in art. Few Ameri cans relive the bigness of art devel opment in this country during the last twenty -five years. There is a monument now under construction on Stone Mountain, down in Georgia, which future races thou sands of years from now may visit and study as does this present civili zation the Sphinx on the Nile. Stone Mountain, bound about as it is with Civil War traditions, seems like a great rock placed in the be ginning of the world "for" the coming of a master a r Cist Who would see its use. Rising nine hundred feet from a comparatively level country, it has a front almost as smooth as the wall of a house. At this poii^t Confederate history was made. A few years ago the Daughters of the Confederacy decid ed to put a small monument or tablet of some sort on the mountain to com memorate the valiant stand made for the Lost Cause. Ciutzon Borglum, one of the world's great sculptors, was asked to surest an appropriate tablet. Borglum spent days down in flat fields facing the mountain and then he visioned its possibilities. A, tablet on that vast smooth space would, lie Said, be like a postage stamp on the side of a house. It needed gigantic treatment. Lee and his army should be ? carved in bold relief against that immense area of smooth, uncracked granite. IJorglum said he. wanted not only the side of the mountain but the top of it as well. No smokestacks or other works of man should break the line between the marching army and the far-reaching heaven. A practical objection of time and cost was raised. The great sculptor said that he would willingly dedicate the rest of his life to such a project, and, when the work has once been started, other artists would come for ward to complete it. This monunrent will take years of labor and will cost live millions of dollars. When it is finished it will be one of the world's greatest works of art. Borglum took a year to develop a method by which the monument might be successfully produced. With the use of a lantern slide four by five inches, on which is outlined tlu' figure to be carved on the mountain, and with a five thousand candle power light behind it, the magnified picture is shown on the smooth granitfe sur face. Men are dropped by cables three hundred and fifty feet and they paint on the rocks the lines of the gi gantic figures. Later, stonecutters are lowered to do their work under the supervision of Borglum. Th? group is two hundred feet high; the horse on which General Lee rides is one hundred and thirty-seven feet from hoofs to top of his bridle. The wh?>le design is moving and full of action. It contains a!l the branches of an American army. The central figure is that splendid Christian, Hob cause in which he believed, and sur rendered without bitterness or hatred. Stone Mountain is not merely a Southern monument ; it is a great national treasure, whuh i.s being dis ruvsed in the art circles of Europe e> en more than j t is here. The artist who created it is essentially Ameri can b? rn and educated here. He has done h.s great life work not only in A mc . a but around American history ar.d iiaditioiis. breams that live in the souls of - Mi e : e men c.?me true. ? From the ><? | te m Iht be lineator.
