Im . pressive in its simplicity, the memorial is the masterpiece of all public buildings in the United States. It stands in Potomac Park, facing the , Washington monument, and its construction was begun on Lincoln's birthday anniversary in 1914. The total cost has been approximately ^43,000,000. This monument to Lincoln is a large rectangular building of white Tnarble, designed by Henry Bacon, a New York architect. It has a beautiful setting on a direct east and west line with the Washington monument and the nation's capitol and rises 144 feet above the level of the park. It is composed of four principal features ?a statue of a man, a memorial of his Gettysburg address, a memorial of his second inaugural address and a symbol of the Union of the United States. The most important object in the Memorial is the statue of Lincoln in marble by Daniel Chester French, a New York sculptor, placed in the central hall, where, by virtue of its imposing position in the place of honor, it predominates all else. The statue is collossal in size and yet distinctly personal. It represents Lincoln, seated, in a 4.U 1 1 " " cnuu^iiu ui inuou, unci is me nrsi thing that catches the eye as one passes through the immense colonaded entrance. Smaller halls, one at either side-of the central hall, contain monumental tablets in which deeply incised letters reproduce word for word Lincoln's Gettysburg address on the left wall, and the address made by him at his second inauguration on the right wall. Above these are two large mural paintings by Jules Guerin, a New York artist, one typifying "Emancipation," and, the other tipifying "Reunion." Their reproduction occupied three years' time. Symbol of Union. Surrounding the exterior of the vails enclosing these memorials is a inagnificent colonnade forming a symbol of the Union, each column representing one of the thirty-six states existing at the time of Lincoln's .1 i u r\ - u i.. ? ucubii. wit tiie outer wans above the colonnade and supported at intervals by eagles, arc lorty-eight festoons, one for each state existing at the present time. At the end of the great axis, planned over a century ago. is the capitol of tho nation, which is the monument of the government, and a mile westward from the capitol is the 555-foot granite shaft which is the monument to George Washington, Now, on this same great axis, half ^ ^ 1 ^ i . /? il t a r i a mne wi'.si 01 me wasmngion monument stands the Lincoln memorial This completes an unparalleled composition, a triology which imparts tc each of its monuments a value in addition to that which each standing alone possesses. More than a dozen years ago Potomac Park, one of the most importa.nl units of Washington's great park system and which lies along the Potoma< river, was first suggested as the sit< for a memorial to Lincoln. The lat( John Hay, one of Lincoln's secreta ries and biographers and later secretary of state of the United States favored its selection. In expressing his approval he wrote: "As I understand it, the place o lionor is on the main axis of th< p .m. Lincoln, of ail Americans nex Washington, deserves this place o V honor. He was of the immortals. You must not approach too close to the immortals. His monument should stand alone, remote from the common habitation of man, apart from the business and turmoil of the city?isolated, distinguished and serene. Of all the sites, this one, near the Potomac is most suited to the purpose." IJy meansV>f terraces the ground.^ . rduad the site are raised until the uoo;' of the memorial itself is 45 feel higher than the grade of Potomac Park. A circular terrace 1,000 feet in diameter, first rises above the park. On its outer edge stand foui concentric rows of trees, leaving a plateau in the center 755 feet in dia* meter. In the center of this plateau surrounded by wide roadways and walks, rises an eminence supporting a rectangular stone terrace wall 14 feet ligh, 256 feet long and 186 feet wide. 3n this rectangular terrace rises the white marble memorial. All the foundation of the steps, terraces and nemorial are built on concrete piling vhich extends down to solid rock. Rising from this rectangular ter ace three steps, each eight feet high, 'orm a platform measuring* 204 feet n length and 124 feet in width. On columns, symbolizing the Union, vhich enclose the memorial hall wills md support the upper portion of the milding bearing the festoons reprelenting the existing 48 states. This olonnade is 188 feet long and 118 'eet wide, the columns being 44 feet ligh and 7 feet five inches in diameer at their base. Memorial Hall. Within iho colonnade stands the vhite memorial hall, measuring 156 eet in length and 84 feet in width, nside the building the central hall, vhere the statue of Lincoln stands, s (50 feet wide, 70 feet long and fiO 'eet high, while the halls where the memorials of the speeches are placed ire 50 feet long, 37 feet wido and 00 I eet high, four Ionic columns separating each of these halls from the central hall. The colonnaded entrance to the memorial hall is 45 feet wide and 44 feet high. To the eastward of the memorial, it the foot of the series of steps leading from the entrance, and extending toward the Washington monument, is a lagoon, or reflecting basin, 2,000 feet long and 480 feet wide. In its waters is reflected from one end the Lincoln memorial, and from the 3ther the Washington monument is pictured. It is from two to three feet deep and its floor is of dark material, making the water as reflective as a mirror. Splendid elm trees line both sides of the reflecting basin, The grounds surrounding the memorial slope up gently to the winding walk which encircles the entire structure. Rare specimens of box weed trees, nestling in the corner of the temple, are each nearly 100 years old, and cost about 1,000 apiece. Other trees planted about the memorial are selected specimens of great age. The movement for the construction of the memorial was begun in 1902 and in 1910* the late Senator Shelby M. Cullom, of Illinois, a friend of Lincoln, introduced in the senate the bill for the construction of the memorial Hill wne nnnrnvwl hv congress February 9, 1911. The law created a commission and named as its members William H. Taft, Shelby M. Collom, Joseph G. Cannon, George Peabody Whetmore, Samuel Walker McCall, Hernando D. Money and Champ Clark. Commission Authorized. The commission was authorized to procure and determine upon a location plan and design for the monument or memorial in Washington. The aid of the government commission of fine arts was involved in that selection of the site and plans of the memorial. On the 105th anniversary of Lincoln's birthday, February 12th, 1914, the late former Senator Josenh C. S. Blackburn, then resident commissioner of the memorial commission and who was a Southern officer during the civil war, broke ground for the memorial, saying as he did so: "This memorial will show that Lincoln is now regarded as the greatest of all Americans and that he is so held by the South as well as the North." The corner stone was laid on Lincoln's birthday in 1915, without ceremony. Among the articles placed within the cornerstone was a history of Lincoln, signed by his living son Robert T. Lincoln. The building o1 the memorial v/as somewhat delay.ec Htiriniv wrtHrl war and its con struction, which was expected to b< completed in three years' time, iia* taken almost six years. A memorial bridge across the Poto mac river from a point nearby th< Lincoln memorial and extending t< the Arlington National Cemetery, i; contemplated in the plans, as well a: a boat landing on the river db'ectl; east of the memorial. Temporary buildings erected in Po tomas park for war purposes and oc cupied by the navy department, hav encroached upon the memoria 1 grounds as planned by the commis sion of fine arts, which declares: ; "Until the buildings are remove the memorial will be dwarfted an made of small importance and the de velopment of the landscape feature upon which the memorial depends fc ' effectiveness will be made possible The continuation of the building : work sacrilege to the memory c Lincoln." .-o L ESTRAY NOTICE.

COW TOBACCO PUNTERS SHOULD CUT DOWN Making Reduction of at Least One-Third in Acreage This Year INTERESTING FACTS FROM NORTH CAROLINA Organization of Tobacco Growers is Recommended so as to Take Concerted Action For some time the opinion has been growing among the people that the acreage of tobacco this year should be reduced as well as thq acreage of cotton. The tobacco growers of South aCrolina sold their crops last year before the price of tobacco went down so low. They were fortunate in that respect. The growers of North Carolina, who always sell late in the year were unfortunate according to reports which have been coming across the line ever since the warehouses opened several weeks ago. The North Carolina tobacco growers did not realize the actual cost of production. Cotton planters may be blue but North Carolina tobacco grow GVs are still bluer if anything. Over there, the tobacco growers are organizing for the purpose of reducing the acreage planted this yea*. The Eastern North Carolina Tobacco Growers Association is an association of men of great number and thev arc so closely united that they can work wonders in the matter of concertoo action, they are not only binding: themselves to cut down the acreage hut they are endeavoring to interest the South Carolina growers in the same way and they believe that if the South Carolina growers can be made to understand the danger of over-production that the growers here will I promise and pledge themselves to cut the acrcage this year. The pledge they are making and will expect to make is that we will reduce our crop of tobacco in 1921 at least one-third and as much more as the State Executive Committee shall determine to be necessary to reduce the supply in 1921 to the estimated demand. A few days ago this paper received from Wilson, North Carolina, the following letter from S. H. Anderson, the of the Eastern North Carolina Tobacco Growers Asso tion: Wilson, N. C., Dec. 23, 1920. Dear Sir:? I enclose you herewith a copy of a resolution adopted by the Eastern Carolina Tobacco Warehouse Assoc in iion in session here today endorsing the campaign for a redaction of the tobacco acreage for 1921 and pledging the active support of this Association to the N. C. Tobacco Growers Association in their campaign for reduction. It is vitally necessary that you take steps at once to organize your section?appointing committee of your leading business men and warehousemen for the purpose of making a house-to-house casvass of every tobacco grower in your territory during the week beginning Jan. 3, 1921, in order to secure their pledge for reduction. These pledges?a copy of which is enclosed?may be had from the local farm demonstration agent or from E. G. Moss, Secretary, Raleigh, N. C. Please see that they are on hand before Jan. 3. It is earnestly requested that this office be furnished with a complete report of the campaign, and that the pledges be returned together with a complete list of all tobacco growers who refuse to sign the pledges. Kindly have your local papers publish the resolution that is enclosed. If you are a warehouseman have your auc Liuutid ciunuunce uL'iuit uucn saic the importance of 50% reduction in 1 the 11>21 crop. Eastern N. C. Tobacco Growers Association Bv S. H. Anderson, Pres. I * r The resolution follows: , Resolutions Passed by The Nortt f Carolina Tobacco Warehouse AsI Hociation, At Wilson, N. C., Uecember 23, 1920. ; WHEREAS, the normal supply o1 ^ bright tobacco is approximately thre< hundred million pounds annually an< _ whereas it is evident that there wil ? be carried over from the 1920 croj j fully 300,000,000 lbs?enough to sup s ply the needs of the world if not i s single pound is raised in 1921, and y WHEREAS, the interests of th< Warehousemen and the Farmers ar< - identical in respect to the amount o - tobacco to be planted, and we feel i e our duty to give the Growers th< II facts in our possession that they ma; i- be saved from bankruptcy which ma; follow the planting of even a norma d crop in 1921, d THEREFORE it is resolved by th North Carolina Tobacco Warehous is Association r 1. That the proposed reduction o ?. one-third in acreage as recommende ;s by the Tobacco Growers Associatio ?f is not in our opinion a sufficient rc diction?that the reduction shoul be at least .r)0?e and that any amour planted in excess of one-half of th ,L. normal crop will invite disaster, n. 2. That we feel it is the duty c id the Tobacco Warehousemen to reac r< the tobacco growers in person and t v urge them: \ I. The absolute necessity of cu j. ting their tobacco crops at least on< half?and that if they plant tobacc at all they should not plant "Mali 1". All," "Big Gem" and "Pinkncy Ai thur," but should confine themselvc v to the too'o vpritie* which ha\ given Kastern North Carolina ? IWAY, 8 .0., JAW. 6, 1M1. reputation in the past. II. That they abandon the west as their "Smoke House and Corn Crib" and pledge themselves honestly to make an effort to live at home in 1921. 3. That the Tobacco Warehousemen of North Carolina pledge themselves in co-operation with the Tobacco Growers Association to form committees of their strongest men who shall visit every grower and landlord in their respective territory and secure pledges to carry out the recommendations herein submitted. And that the week beginning Jan. 3, 1921 shall be set aside for this purpose. M. C. Tobacco Grower? Ass'n. S. H., Anderson, Pres. If. H. Cozart, Sec.

There has been an enormous crop fold up here this year, and very few of the farmers have gotten more than two thirds of the cost of production, and should another large crop follow this one in the two Carolinas, it is doubtful if the producers can get a bid on any except the best fliaii* T f K i ?\lr u'niiUI twi v ' J V A tv A k VI UV A VUIII A 4 V " V'UJVI UV to your best interest to plant little and look after that yourself very carefully. Yours Truly, E. V. WEBB & COMPANY. By J. F. LaRoque. Wilson, N. C., Dec. 14th, 1920. Mr. L. P. Roberta, Conway, S. C. Dear Sir: We have your letter of the 12th asking our advice in regard to the planting of next year's crop and in reply will say that we feel that the low prices which are now realized on cotton and tobacco is due greatly to the fact of the low price of Foreign Exchange and the unsettled conditions generally abroad but we think that the main reason of the low prices is due to the fact that there is too much tobacco and cotton raised and we are advising all of our farmer friends to cut their acreAge one-half the next season in both tobacco and cotton and if all the farmers will do this we feel that they will get more for a half crop than they would for another full crop as we now have. Will say that tobacco is selling much lower here than it sold for in i S. C., although it is graded and tied I up.
