FIRST AT STONE MOUNTAIN AS AT BETHEL The following from the News ;;ci Observer l-u* i:n<r the tY.i>federM*t Memorial c?> - timely, some of which are now t ing distributed hy ! the Watauga my Bank: It was heartening and chef :ng to ; every Southerner to hear the story by j Gut on !!' : .? the North Carolina Genera: Assembly about tf." r tertst show , > such men as IV dent Har<i;ng. President Coc'dgo.j Senator Sirou Senator Lodge and I ol.ht.T eminent Republicans in refer-erne to the memorial coin soon to he | offervd. li ^a- p: m t" of two things: First, that name of Lv ? -< l-evered as nig tributes from men of abiiif. f'-u ail pa?: > o4' the country, an-: - that th- - eminent Republic?.! of the north could not be influenced \ any behitcd f? <_i- j ing of sectionalism It is -v civ .-h-making o.vt that'S the Federal government has minted, corns h'-uoriirg th'- heroes of the V u-.-j feOevat- states of America. It is aJ-j most a- significant as the ivunb :np; of th partisan - f the War of riiej Rom s Ir foreshadows the day when Ame ricar. history will honor all brave; Americans of t r ties without ref-i erence to whether they fought in the Federal or the ? nforicrate umies. That day is materially hastened ! . t he order of the government to mini ! the coin for the beautiful design byj Gut'-or. Belgium. The whole- South deeply regretted the serious differences between Mr. Randolph and Mr. Borglum oveir the Stone Mountain Memorial. Each had, his partisans. This paper resetted the friction and the consequent result. It is believed a way should have' been found by which to enable Mr j Borglum to complete his masterly conception to which he had given s<? much time and so much heart interest But?-men and brethren-?tho controversy should not be permitted to stand in tho way jf the immediate carrying out of the poiey adopted with reference to the memorial coin. The bankers over the South, with a spirit beyond all praise, have undertaken to carry out the plan. Comit:?.es have been named The coin is ready for distribution. The opportunity for every person in America to possess one of the coins bearing the image of Les and Jackson is at hand Tho is not primarily .1 Southern movement. Men and wumei' in all sections of the country are interested j ar-l wili participate, but the Southerr: people have a peculiar interest! in the men whose deeds are commemorated ard in th<? completion of the monumental roemoi ial It, there- j fore, behooves the people of the I e v . .. i .. j kit-Lai; .1: .atit: tn? lean in uu: master. i The day will come when these fiftycent Lee and Jackson coins will be preserver! and handed down from jjen oration to generation a.? methingi rare and \?. antifui. The number is limited and no more will be minted. The coir minted in commemoration of the 'A -rld's Fair; at Chicago is now so highly prized | that the holders will : >< nail with them at any reasonable price. These memorials of Lee* and Jackson w ill have even a greater sen tin ema! interest to all Southerners and in a quarter of a century all will be sohighly prized that none will be in circulation. People of other sections w:li purchase these coins and pay one dollar and more for the fifty cent coin. Men avid wo->en of the south will do likewise and will also do more. J liey reel a peculiar obligation and responsibility for the success of the undertaking. It is the firsi~time such recognition has been given by the government to the lenders o the south in the sixties. If the south shouid fail to purchase the coin, and the enterprise should lag for any reason, it would be misunderstood ail over the country. Therefore, every Southerner should be proud of the privilege I of insuring the success of the proper! distribution of the coin. As far as North Carolina is con- ' corned, though many, perhaps most, of its people were partisans of Gut-| 7.on Borgium and regret the turn af-l fairs took, it should do wnat it has; always done?be fiTst in the support! of the distribution of there S'tonej .- >i ... / MOTOR OUTINGS FEATURE THE FOURTH LOCALLY The Fourth passed off most quietly in Boone. All the business houses, or practically all. were closed for the I day. and many of the inhabitants' were out for pleasure. Quite a crowd went to Grandfather Mountain, Co. Supt. Smith Hagamn and two of the j boys, Mr. E. G. Farthing and family and Rev. Roy Dotson and family com-! prising the party. The day was really i ''Glorious" and enjoy- d to the fullest by those who wtr fortunate en-1 ough to be present. Through the ccur. y f our friend and townsman Mi W.

On wo wetft until we came to a point on the Mvtiganton road where a sign announced Linvillfi Palls, and in '.he center f a road leading thereto was another bearing this inscription: "Oars Stop ! Here," \V?? stopped all right and down the nigged read we went, on foot for jvne and a half miles. In the distance v could hear the roar of the Linville River as it plunged over the i rugged precipice. The nearer the fads the rougher the road until, for this ! scribe, it became almost dangerous. However the Falls were reached and to see the great river plunging from the rock one htmdred feet above into a basin below, that seems to nave In-e^b fashion ed b\ tile Ai might \'s hand for :ha' particular purn<ose, is i beyond description.
