Life
1$ it the lease of Life, and nothing
more,
When the years have come to the
triple score?
Is it only the close of a winter day,
Where the sunshine fades in the
, west away?
[s only the tip of the mountain
crestWhere
the hungering -rays of the
sunlight rest; '
And where through the mists of tho
Past are seen
The ghosts of joys that once have
been; *'
While down in the valley, far below
Lie the graves of the things of
Long Ago?
Nay, nay, not that, For he who holds
jBy the simple faith that the world
enfolds,
Finds, unto Life's last, feeblest
spark,
That the daylight far exceeds the
dark:
That the seasons bring as they glide
away,
More days of brightness than days
of gray:
That the spring gives place in its
varying moods,
To the mellowing tints of the
autumn woods;
'Arid stars come out in the evening
air,
Which we fail to see in the noonday
glare. -?Selected.

PRIZE ESSAY
Minn Stewart Write# en 'The South
in the Making of the Nation"
Mis# Kllen Stewart of the Camddn
High school submitted the winning
essay on "The South in the Making
of the Nation," and was awarded the
Stone Mountain Memorial coin offered
by Mis# Louise Nettle#. Miss
Stewart writes as follows:
What has the South done for the
nation? Has she fulfilled the great
and glorious mission prophesied by
our forefathers? As surely as this
question reaches the ears of a true
Southerner so sutely will he answer
unfalteringly, "She has."
Why does he say this? What proof j
has he? The South furnishes her i
own proof. The vast fields of cotton !
and waving grain so like the>manna
in the wilderness fall like showers of
blessing on the dependent multitude#.
The flowing rivers, sloping hillside#,
tall sentinel pines, and luxurious
climate make the South the playground
of the world: a boon-to travelers,
a gift to the heart-sore, a blessing
to the weary mind, and a home
for all.
Her gallant sons?George Washington,
the father of his country;
Robert E. Lee, the leader of the
South?are examples of the past glory
of the South. * Again from the Land
of Flowers came Woodrow Wilson,
the dove of peace in the deluge of
war; and DuBose Heyward, our master
mind in literature?an example of
present greatness.
The great hospitality handed down
from our forefathers makes the South
the hon>e of the nation. Truly is her
motto: "Duty is the sublimest word
in the English language." Every
man, woman and child of the South
has had a part in the making of the
nation, and by the common bond of
brotherly love they have forged together
the great wedge that makes
the nation a part of the world. She
has bridged the chasm of seas with
a friendship that neither war nor
cold treaties could have reached.
Through her efforts she has made
the nation a true "land of the free
and home of the brave."
A land of peace and prosperity, of
Christian religion" and Universal love
has grown from a land apparently
crushed and lifeless from the blows
of war. And now with all these
things in mind any Southerner or any
man can say:
Bear witness wtih me in my song of
praise
And tell the world that since the
world began,
No fairer land hath fired a poet'3
\ lays,
Or given a home to man.

"The Sea Beast"
Critics are Unanimous
FROM THE NEW YORK DAILY NEWSPAPERS:
The picture is greater than "Down to the Sea in
j Ships" and it is one of the finest seascrapes on record.
You can't afford to miss seeing John Harrymore.
?Frank Vreeland in The Telegram
Mr. Harrymore makes his one and only appearance
of the season in the film at Warners which is a pity,
for he gives us an entertaining, showing display of .
effective screen acting and the season being what it is,
another exhibition of his pictorial fireworks would
come as a welcome addition. .
?John S. Cohen, Jr., in The Evening Sun
If you like red-blooded adventure you'll enjoy "The'
Sea Beast." John Barry more has never seemed so
human before.
?Eileen Creelman in The American
A tense melodrama of the sea, affording John Barrymore
opportunity to revive and vary, his "Dr. Jekyll
and Mr. Hyde" in the more picturesque surroundings
of the whaling industry.
-?Palmer Smith in The Evening World
"The Sea Beast" is a magnificent production. It ia.'
so big.
?Harriette Underhill in Herald-Tribune
You will be thrilled by this photoplay.
?Dorothy Herzog in The Mirror
It should be seen by every serious follower of the
screen, and will undoubtedly crowd the theatre for
weeks to come.
* ?Norbert Lusk in The Morning Telegraph
You may spend all the praises at your command and
still feel that you haven't done the piece more than
half justice.
