Woodrow Wilson
Birthplace Memorial
As most readers of the Seoul know,
a iv.onuement has been underway for
some time, which has for its object
he sctt'ng up of a tilting memoial
of our great war president, at his
birth place, Staunton ,Va. Various
committees have been organized and
have been at work. Hon. A. T. Allen,
of Raleiph. is chairman, for North
Carolina, and the undersigned has
been requested to act for Cherokee
Coui ty.
It is contemplated that the Association
,of which every subscriber
becomes a member, shall acquire the
house in which Mr. Wilson was born,
repair it in such a way, as that it
will be permanent, furnish it in a
representative way, and place in it
books and periodicals bearing on
Mr. Wilson's life and itmes.
that it may become a shrine on the
order of Mt. Vernon, to which patriotic
pilgrims may journey and receive
inspiration.
It is also propesed to acquire the
chapel in which Mr. Wilson was baptised.
The whole current of the life
of this preat man was deeply religious
and it is entirely fittinp that this
place of his youth, should he caller!
to the attention of our American
yuui .
The first public address of President
Wilson, after his election, was
delivered at Staunton, the place of
his birth. His whole life was indentified
with education, and it thought
to be entirely appropriate that a publie
hall and auditorium should be set
up on the grounds of an educational
institution, where men may gather to
do honor to his memory.
It is believed that there are many
of the citizens of Cherokee County
who will welcome the opportunity of
contributing their mite to honor the
memory of this great man. It is requested
that all such will send ir
iheir contributions by the 8th ol
June, at the furthest. Please mak<
all checks payable to Hon A. M
Fraser, National Chairman. EacI
one who contributes as much as Fiv<
Dollars will have his name enrollee

in holy land
Jack Loyd Visits Pyramids ofI.gypt
and Other interesting
Points on Cruise Around
World
Jack Lloyd, Murphy boy with the
United States Navy and on a cruise
around the world, recently visited
Palestine, writing his father, T. J.
Llu>? f Wan. N. C., very interesting
of his "shore leave" there and
at other points. He also visited the
Pyramids in Egypt.
His letter, written from Haifa.
Palestine, April 8th, follows in part:
"Here I am in the Holy Land, having
the time of my life. I was ashore
last night and had a good time on
two dollars. There is nothing much
t?? spent money for like in the other
! places I have been.
"We are only here for three days
, in order us fellows may have a chance '
to go to Jerusalem and Bethlehem.
Four of our fellows were victims of
an auto accident yesterday morning.
No one killed, but very seriously injured.
One man is expected to die
with back broken. I have been lucky
so tar.
"I had a pood time in Alexandria.
Egypt. I went sight-seeing .and saw
I many places of interest while there,
such as the Pyramids, Sphinx, and
tombs of all the kings of olden times.
"We leave here for Madras Bay,
Lemnos Island, Greece. I have never
, been there before and don't know
what it will be like. From there we
go to Trieste, Austria, for 25 days;
from there to Venice, Italy, after
which we will be at sea for 12 days
for Grovesend, England. During the;
summer and fall we will be gonig1
! to some good ports.'
Jack concludes by saying that he
expects to take a thirty day leave
of absence while in Grovesend, England,
and that he wants the Scout
sent to him weekly.

GAINESVILLE TO
BE TAKEN OVER
BY SHRINERS
Special Train Bearing 1.000 to UnMorning
Gainesville will be the livest spot
in Georgia on April -'50th and that
day will be more brimful of "goings

day Gainesville will be given over to
the red fez and the bright uniform
of the Shrine.
Immediately uon their arrivel the
visiting' Shriners will form n parade
and march to the Public Square,
where the Patrol will put on a fancy
drill for the public-made twice as interesting
by their Orental costumes.
A hundred men or more will take
pj-.rt in the drill, which is to be immediately
followed by short conceits
from Yaarab Temple Million Delar
Band?a sixty juece musical organization
of the highest rank, and Oriental
Band of thirty pieces. I
It would be worth while coming to
Gainesville on April 30th just to
hear this Oriental Band. You have
never heard anything like the wierd.
Elister variety of music wh:ch this
hand has mastered and will play for
your entertainment. It is one of the
very few organizations of its kind in
