President Coolidge lias affixed the
signature of his approval to an act of
Ccngress which in .'•miy respects is ti'c
rncst remnrkablo t\ei' passed hf that
body.
It authorizes tlie issuance of fi^ e mil
lion fifty cent silver coins commem
orating the commencement of work on
the Stone Mountain Confederate Mf?m-
orial.
On the obverse side of this coin will
be a reproduction of the heads %nd
shoulders of Jefferson Davis, Robert E.
Lee and Stouewall Jackson as they
are now being carved on the precipice
of Stone Mountain. On the reverss
side will be a bust of the late President
Warren G. Harding.
The act authorizing the issuance of
these coins was favorably reported to
the Senate by a unanimous vote of the
finance committee, and was unanimous
ly passed by the Senate. It was fav
orably reported to the House by un
animous vote of the committee on bank
ing and currency, and was passed by
the unanimous vote of the House.
The act authorizes the largest issu
ance of special coins in the history of
the United States—the largest issue by
more than twenty to one.
The Stone Mountain Memorial Asso
ciation, with the co-operation of the
Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, will
handle the entire distribution of the
coins on the basis of one dollar each
which means that the issue of five mil
lions when placed in circulation will
bring to the Association treasury two
million five hundred thousand dollars.
The act of Congress authorizing these
coins, by unanimous vote of the House
and Senate, carried with it a profound
national significance.
It means that the nation’s reunion of
I spirit is to be signalized by the issuance
of a coin bearing the faces of the Con
federacy’s three chieftains linked with
the nation’s great-hearted president in
whose administration w'ork was com
menced on on§ of the noblest monu
ments of human history.
It is predicted that the demand for
tlie Stone Mountain Memorial coin will
be as nation-wide as the sentiment
which prompted Congress to authorize
it by unanimous vote. We rejoice that
the Memorial association is given this
means of placing in the hands of people
everywhere a beautiful souvenir of the
Memorial, and at the same time placing
in the Memorial treasury a sum of
money which will go far toward com
pleting the sculptor’s glorious plan.

The guy who said that the world was

girls in the same school.
“Papa,’’ said the small son, “what
do they mean by college bred? Is it
different from any other kind of
bread?”
“My son,’^ said the father, “college

The mail service is one of the most
important departments of the United
States government. Without the mails
we could not enjoy the unity and na
tional spirit which we now have.
As we all know from our study of
tlie history of the early colonies, mail
was a rarity with the colonists. The
Pony Express was the first means by
which mail was carried from one settle- >•>;
men! to ^notlier. These riders risked
their lives in carrying the mails
through the wilderness infested with
Indians.
With the present day system of send
ing the mails in steel postal cars speci
ally constructed for this work we are
practically sure our letters and j^ack-
agos will be delivered. In these cars
several men are at work sorting the
mails last taken on. These mails are
quickly boarded on at all stations at
which the train stops. If the train
does not stop the mail sack is grasped
by means of a steel work even when
the train is going its fastest.
About every year tliese men are
selected by means of the Civil Service
Examinations. Tliese examinations are
very thorough. There is no chance of
a man with bad health or below the
average intelligence, getting in the mail
service. These men make atrip once a
day for a week and then are allowed a
week off during which time he may go
where he likes providing the postal au
thorities know just where he is. in this
way their work does not grow monoto
nous and they feel like working earn
estly and energetically. At all times
they have a number of candidates wait
ing for an opportunity of service. Many
of these candidates are iised during the
ChristMias holiday rush.
The cars in which these postal clerks
travel are a little longer than the day
coach and built wholly of steel. Thia
car is always placed up nearest the en
gine of the train. There are four doors
one on each side, at each end about
twelve feet from extreme end. Inside
these cars between the doors are sta
tionary racks which hold open the pos
tal sack. At one end of these racks
are a number of “pigeon holes” label
led the different states and foreign
countries.
The number of men working in a car
is determined by the points through
which the mail train passes. There
may be one man to a car or there may
be a dozen. During the Christmas
holiday “rush” it is necessary to have
many cars for storage. The mail to be
put off at stations along the way are
kept in the “sorting” car, stored be
tween the side doors and the end of the
car. No space is wasted in a mail car.
The parcel post men open the sacks
taken on and quickly sort them out by
putting them in the bag labelled the
state to which the package is going.
Towns and cities along the wav' have
special sacks for their parcel post.
The letter men use the same system
but place all “Special Delivery” let
ters on top always. This is done so
that the “Special Delivery” letters can
be gathered quickly at point of destina
tion and delivered.
The “Register” clerks receive the
locked pouches and records all packages
and receives a receipt for their delivery.
At one end of the car there is a man
who puts off all mail at point of des
tination. At the other end another man
is stationed to use the big iron hooks
by which the mail is taken from non
stop stations.
When the train lias reached its desti
nation, all of the mail is taken out of
the car. Part of this mail is placcd on
the train continuing in the direction in
which the mail was headed forme
Part of it goes to the Postoffice to be
delivered by mail postmen throughout
the city.
It is a very great organization and
to keep it working smoothly requires a
great many men, a great deal of work
and much monev.
