Stone Mountain The proposal to make Stone Moun tain *a memorial to the Southern Con federacy appeals with peculiar forcu to the poetic imagination. That rock itself fr>bed in Confederate gray And lifted into starland's golden " mist, Where, let me ask, in all the circling hills, Could worthier stone be found on which to carve The story of a Conquer'd Banner's face, To hold in keeping Stonewall Jack son's name, Or lift to the eternal ages, Lee! Muse of the mountain set thy imusic free! Stone Mountain is distinctly one of the wonders of the world. A moun tain of solid granite one mile from its summit to its base, and nature's matchless plan for a memorial. It is enriched with memories of the Sixties and the tender romance of the old South. There will be no monument in all the World like this, or monu ment to the Confederate dead. None so majestic, none so magnificently ^framed. The heroic statue to Robert E. Lee, the flower and incarnation of the Southern soldier, and all for which he stood, will be chiseled into ?this mountain of solid granite, and hence forth be an object of romantic, ?nd sentimental interest, unique among the wonders of the world. But it is the design of this monument,1 tfhfle commemorating deeds of hero ism, also to promote the ends of peace. It will stand for national unity; it will be a monument of reconciliation; it wilt typify the spirit of brotherhood. But it will also be an ideal exponent of those undying principles upon which the Confed eracy was established. So far we, as a town and county, have done verjr little toward making this won derful monument possible, and it is time for Kershaw with its storied past to be up and doing. Realizing this we have appointed twelve high school girls to go out tomorrow, Sat urday, in interest of the sale of Con federate Memorial coins, and bespeak a liberal response to their appeal. Buy these fifty-cent coins at one dollar each and show your love for the South and her glorious past. A solid boulder of Confederate tint Thou art indeed the Southland's sacred mount, Meet to enshrine her holy principles, And to thy keeping, till the last Great Day, Dixie commits her memories of the firr?y. Kigth to ten thousand earthquakes ?re recorded every year in various part# of the world. Now With Newu mwl Observer "The Technician," published by the jjtudonta of the State College at Raleigh, N. C., has the following to say of a Camden boy, now attending the State College: "Herman Baum, senior electrical student at State , College and manag ing editor of This Technician, has ac cepted a position as assistant city editor on the staff of the News and Observer and will probably take charge of the sport department of that paper next spring. M 'Radio/ as he is familiarlv known to his fellow students, has been ac tively connected with The Technician and other campus organizations since his first year at State College, and has a host of friends on the campus and in Raleigh. "Baum will contiuue his duties with The Technician until another man can be trained for the place. He will con tinue his studies at the college, work ing with the News and Observer only in the afternoon and night. ** (Radio* is a hard worker and we feel sure that he will make a success in his new position." Nobody's BuKinesM Henry' *'ord is getting to be mighty liberal m his old age. He has added 22 pounds tin to his new model lizzies and is charging no more for same. Don't know that .the new car is any better than the old one, but its rattling capacity has been greatly in creased. If I could get $428.55 per bale for my cotton this year I would not have to carry over much more than two-thirds of my guano debts. My cotton seed will probably fetch enough to pay for the ginning and an automobile license plate next year. I'm trying to economize this* month. Am getting along fairly well except the cook left the electric stove burning all night before last arid the baby broke two quarts of milk and my wife's second cousin is still with us and I tore the seat out of my best britches trying to keep from buying a cushion for my car and the butcher sent up 4 pounds of India rubber and charged us for a roast and the hot Water spigot ran all night last week through a large Ruud heater and interest on 4 notes fell due yes terday and college opened and my hair had to be cut and I loaned a friend 6 dollars till last week and-4*ad to pay the preacher a little on last year's pledge and I went to the den tist. Otherwise, I'm getting along all right with my program. I think the highway department ought to refer its fuss to the league of nations or have the Dawes plan installed. France wants to pay us entirely up in 200 years. That's on S dol lar-a-week basis. I'm going to try to make this same arrangement with my banker and ray grocer. I'm very fond of terms, and the longer they are the better they suit me. ? Gee McGee in Anderson Mail. Rum Runner Caught . Sunday wa? an unlucky day for one rum runner in this vicinity and Charlotte was alcoholically drier on Monday, circus day, by about 74 gallons of bootleg refreshments. It happened thus: The authorities have been watching a certain car that has been making trips through Lancastcr, and while Sheriff Hunter and other officers were in Heath Springs Sun day afternoon the same car, a Chrys ler roadster, passed through coming in the direction of Lancaster. The officers were traveling in a car that was unable to overtake the Chrysler, so they telephoned to Officers Joe Byrd and Jimmie Hunter in Lancas ter to intercept the car and' arrest the driver. The officers accordingly proceeded down the highway to a point just beyond the double trestle underpass and when the car came in sight, traveling at a furious rate down the long hill, the rum car was signalled to stop, which it did and ihe officers were rewarded by find ing seventy-four gallons of whiskey in one-half gallon fruit jars and one or two broken jars. The driver was arrested and lodged in jail where he is being held pending further investi gation. He gives his name as A. B. Williams but officers believe this is an assumed name. The car bore North Carolina license tag No. 75^458 and* is being held by the local author ities. Monday was circus day in Charlotte and it is supposed that the rum-runner was expecting to do ? big business with the circus crowd. The liquor was pobably made in the Wateree swamps or in sections of the Pee Dee where swamps afford abundant hiding places for illicit dis tilling. ? Lancaster News.

Hennett, super* intefldent .of school#, for Albemarta county, warns the members of his staff against having "dates" iHth high school pupils and sounds a pro test against rolled stockings, short skirts and bare knees. "A few teachers who have had dates with high school pupils have failed in their work," declares the superintendent. 4)May I also sound a word of warn ing concerning what I have seen much of in the summer school at the Uni versity of Virginia this season ? namely rolled stockings, short dresses and bare knees? You will find the people of Albemarle county less char itable in this respect than students at tho summer schools have been." Each female teacher is expected to pay her capitation tax. Corporal punishment is tabooed by the superintendent. "There is nothing In the school laws of Virginia or in the regulations of the county school board to absolutely forbid corporal punishment but you will go to this only as a last resort. Try every other punishment first. You will find it well, after a child has given trouble, to have the parent come to the school for n conference. You thus throw a part of the responsibility of the mis behavior of the child on the parent. The county school board has forbid den any child being kept in after school."

It was learned that thus far this year there have been forty-nine escapes, seven or eight of the men returning voluntarily and the rest being recap tured.
