KING TUT S MUMMY
IN MOULDED COFFIN
Beads and Flowers About Head anil
Chest, Modeled in Pharoah’s Like
ness.
Cairo, Nov. 9. —The body of King
Tutank’aamen has been uncovered, a
communique issued in Arabic by the
Minister of Works announces.
Tutankhamen's toinb was re-opened
October 12th in the presence of Egyp
tian officials. The lid of the first
sarcophagus was lifted, showing an
other, on which lay linen coverings
and, boquets. These were removjcd*?»
'revealing a work of unexampled beau- 1
ty.
This second sarcophagus bore an
effigy of the god Osiris, embellished
with multicolored pieces of glass.
The sarcophagus was' covered with
a thin layer of gold on a marble
ground and adorned with the wings
of the serpent goddess Buto and the
vulture goddess Nechbet. After this
sarcophagus had been scientifically
examined, it was removed from the
first—an extremely delicate operation,
is the one fitted exactly inside the
ther, and the delicate ornamentation
might easily be injured.
By October 22nd it was possible to
remove the cover from the second sar
cophagus, disclosing a human-shaped
coffin, covered with a linen shroud.
Around the head and chest were a
string of beads and liowers. The face
was uncovered and is. believed to rep
resent young King Tutankhamen
himself.
After photographs were taken, the
shroud, beads and flowers 1 were re
moved, revealing a suberb coffin of
most artistic design, covered, with gold
ornaments. Unfortunately, a large
part of the coffin was marred by a
shining black deposit, apparently
some glutinous liquid poured over it
at the time of burial.
The most important problem nftw
: s removal of the human-shaped coffin
from the second sarcophagus, which,
in addition to fitting very closely,
lias adhered on account of this gluti
nous liquid?

for southern mills is extremely
bright, with the power situation
greatly relieved by a general rain
fall throughout the piedmont sec
tion, thus making possible six hours
more operating time per week.

of 32 men charged wit’i participating
in tlie mob attack on the Buncombe
county jail the night of Saturday,
September 19; h, were overruled by
| Judge A. M. , Stack at (he opening
of the cases in Superior Court this
morning]
The court ruled that all the cases
grew out of the same indictmont, that
the charge of conspiracy by its very
nature necessitates trying all the de
fendants at one time. Judge Stack
said if the men wore to be given in
dividual trials the court would be in
session “from now until Christmas/!
Lawrence Creasinan, local real es

PROPOSED DUKE MEMORIAL
POSTPONED TO NOV. 23rd
Duke--University Faculty and Trus
tees and Peoeple of Durham to Take
Part in Celebration.
> Durham, Nov. 1). —The proposed
memortal to the late James Buchan
nnn Duke, which was to have been
held at Duke university next Satur
day, and in which all of the students,
members of the faculty, board of trus
tees and others were to have taken
an active part, has beetn postponed
until Wednesday, November 23, ac
cording to announcement made by
Dr. W. P. Few, head of the college.
On the latter date the board of
trustees of the college is td
important meeting and it was thought
best to have the memorial at that
time. Then, too, the postpouiug of
the date gives opportunity to arrange
for a more complete and impressive
program than it would have been
possible to prepare otherwise.
James B. Duke was the college’s
greatest benefactor and students and
•faculty alike are anxious to pay trib
ute to his memory which will be most
fitting.
It is likely that the service will be
open to the public at large and, if
such is the case, hundreds are ex
pected to attend from all parts of the
state.
