WILL HOUSE PRICELESS
RELICS OF WASHINGTON
Cornerstone to Be Laid at Alexan
dria, Virginia, Noverber 1,
Thousand Masons As
Spectators
The George Washington Masonic
National Memorial, now being erect
ed at Alexandria, Va., will house the
priceless relics of Washington-Ale
andria Blue Lodge, No. 22, of which
General Washington was the first
Worshipful Master. These relfcs in
clude the old cloek that was in the
bed chamber of the president on the
night of his death and which was
stopped at 10:20 p. m., the exact
hour of death, by one of the attend
ing 'physicians. They include also a
penknife given to the boy Washing
by his mother and carried by him 56
years; the general's apron, his wed
ding gloves, farm spurs, pruning
knife, pocket compass, cupping and
bleeding instruments, bootstraps and
garter and many other small
articles. The lodge also owns the
portrait painted by Williams, which
considered to be the truest like
ness of "the father of his country,"
and which is different from most por
traits of him. v .
The memorial to Washington, is
being erected in Alexandria, just
across the Potomac river from the
national capital, because General
Washingon's Masonic activities cen
tered about that city. Alexandria is
almost a part of the city of Washing
ton, D. C., and it is about half way
between the latter city and Mount
Vernon. The memorial will be the
greatest ever erected in honor of
any man. Together with the en
dowment, it will cost $4,000,000. It
will be on Shooters Hill, an emin
ence overlooking the country in
which General Washington lived
most of his life. It will be 2ft0 feet
in depth and 167 feet wide.
The cornerstone of the memorial
will be laid Thursday, Nov. 1, ^amid
most impressive ceremonies. It is
expected that the greatest number
of Masons ever assembled in any
city at any one time will be on h^,n<3
for the ceremonics. All railroads are
offering reduced rates to those who
journey to Washington, D. C., fof
the cornerstone laying.

MAYOR HOLDS MIDNIGHT
COURT FOR SPEEDERS]
It cost four erstwhile pleasure
seekers $27.50 to view Mayor W. S.
Green in his pajamas Monday night
and to learn that the streets of Try
on should be as safe for pedestrians
and other motor travel after' dark as
they are in daylight ? ,
At about 9:30 o'clock Monday night
an automobile containing four peo
ple opened up on Trade street, bound
for the mountains. A few moments
later a telephone messege was sent
to Saluda to head them off and re
turn them to Tryon. After waiting
lor a reasonable length of time
Mayor Green decided that they had
eluded the Saluda officials and pro
ceeded to retire for the night.
Midnight found the Mayor holding
court and imposing fines of$27.50 on
each of the offenders brought in by
Sheriff Thompson. Mayor Green
evidently did not think it worth
while to dress formally for the oc
casion and made his appearance at
the Mayor's office rather scantily
clad in pajamas. The night was
cool and the trial was short. v
The dejected four departed moun
taiwward sadder but wiser.

SPRINKLE GRASS SEED
ON THE LAWN THIS FALL
Raleigh, N. C. Sept. 27 It is al
ways wise to sow some good grass
seed in the lawn each fall even
though there is a fair stand of grass.
The reason for this is explained by
F. E. McCall, Garden Specialist for
the State College and Department of
Agriculture, who says, "Some of the
grasses are biennials, oi live only
two years, and if kept .closely cut,
they fail to reseed and die.
Most annual grasses are green on
ly in the summer. If lawn grass
seed containing good percentages of
Kentucky Blue grass and Italian rye
prass are sown now a good green
lawn may be had all winter and next
spring. These grasses may burn
out during the "hot summer, so if
Bermuda grass is also planted a
good lawn may be had the whole
year through. ? ;
"The very shady and wet places or
even the very dry spots in the lawn
may need some different varieties of
grass seeds to make these spots
green. Wood Meadow-Grass, Creep
ing Bent, Rhode Island Bent or Fall
Fescue all do well under consider
able shade: Dog Tail Grass, - Red
Fescue and Yellow Oat Grass do well
in the very dry situations and Can
ary Grass sho'uld be in use in the wet
places."
Mr. McCall states thai the new
lawn should be clipped often but
never closer than three inches and
that all grasses do best on a moder
ately heavy clay loan, heavily limed.

COOPS SHOW BIG GAIN
IN COTTON RECEIPTS
Raleigh, Septmber 27 Reports re
ceived from the warehousemen and
receiving agents show the deliveries
of cotton to the North Carolina Cot
ton Growers Cooperative Associa
tion are fifty percent in excess of the
receipts at this date last season.
Indications are that at least 200,000
bales will be handled in the Associa
tion this season.
According to reports received from
the twelve State cotton cooperative
marketing associations in the South,
the total balage signed up for this
season will run above 1,300,000.
This is an increase of nearly fifty
percent over last year's sign-up.
o
Nursery For Henderson County.
W. B. Sinclair, an experienced
nurseryman from Georgia, has
started an extensive nursery near
Hendersonville.
After two years establishment on
a small scale Mr. Sinclair discovered
that in the mountains of Western
North Carolina the finest fruit trees
can be grown and he has demon
started the general superority of the
trees as taken from the trench over
trees shipped from great distances
where the roots dry up and the tree
to a certain extent becomes shrivel
led. He states that this Is a great
shock to the young tree and when
this can be avoided it is much pre
ferable to get the trees nearer home.
Mr. ; Sinclair has some 30 to 40
thousand of the best varieties of
trees ready for shipment this fall
and spring and expects to double the
capacity of ,his nurseries each year.
He has fine peach trees, as well as
apple, ?nd i#also growing grapes
and shrubbery. He believes there Is
more money *in the right kind of i
fruit than any thing the farmer can
produce and is backing up his
judgement by establishing his
mirsery in this section.
