QNE of the hardest jobs a movie
star has is finding some way
to kill the many tedious moments
of waiting around a studio before
appearing in a scene.
These rest periods are unavoid
able because it takes a great deal
of time changing sets, focusing
lights and rehearsing scenes of oth

Borglum and His New Project
Editorial Correspondence in Rocky
Mount Telegram.
Shelby, X. C., July 21.—While folks
around Rooky Mount are discussing
crops, the opening of the tobacco market
and the hetd-surfaciug of various and
sundry roads in adjacent communities,
the chief topic of conversation which we
have heard in the two days which we
have been here is Outzou Borglum.
The deposed Stone Mountain sculptor
nlso sprung into prominence here -be
cause of several recent visits and his au
inouneed intention of transferring his Con
ception of the Confederate Memorial, as
origiuall.r planned for the Georgia moun
tain, to the side of Chimney Hock
Mountain.
Report here had it that the late Col.
Beuehan Cameron first interested the
sculptor in undertaking a continuance of
his memorial project to.some North Car
olina mountain, providing a suitable
stone background. Several proposed sites
were visited and inspected, but none
seemed to meet Borghmi’s approval. Fi
nally Chimney Rock was given a charn-e.
Just how this natural rock was brought
to the sculptor's attention remains unex
plained. lh-obably his former suiierin
tendent. Captain John Tucker, who is
credited with having destroyed the origi
nal Stone Mountain models, tipped him
off to the possibilities, for Captain Tuck
er now holds a imsition with the state
highway commission and is engaged in
construction work 011 Route 20 in the up
per edge of Cleveland county ami almost
iu the shadow of the Rook itself.
Any way Rot-glum. Captain Tucker,
his studio assistant, and other interested
friends' have paid several visits to Chim
ney Rock. The last visit occurred last
week, and speculation as to their purpose
was settled when Captain Tucker “spill
ed tin- beans" and the newspapers did
the rest. Borglum and his friends, say
local residents who conversed with mem
bers of the jiarty during their br : ef stay
at. Cleveland Springs, two miles from
here, were enthusiastic over the possibil
ities offered by Chimney Rock. The rook
base, they say. is better ndnpted to the
panoramic view than was Stone Moun
tain. It is so situated as to be in full
view for u wide sweep down the valley.
Chimney Kook, it will be remembered, is
already a scene of tremendous develop
ments. These developments include the
construction of a dam across the valley
which will pen .up the waters of a rtunin
taiu stream and convert the natural bas
in into a lake of large proportion. The
rock Base on which Borglum proposes to
curve the memorial is located right
above this lake nud so situated that the
body of water will be a perfect reflec
tion pool for the memorial. Truly such
a view would strengthen Lake Lure as
rile proposed name for the body of water.
Citizens of this immediate section take
Borglum’s visits here and his announced
attentions with extreme seriousness. They
declare that lie is eager to convey his
dream into a reajity and that he almost
went, into ecstacies over the possibili
ties which Chimney Rock offers. He re
alizes that the Stone Mountain memoriul,
so far as he is concerned, is a thine 0 f
the, past and that his new project, must
have -I.) connection wirk that memorial or
its ramifications. Naturally he pvefers
North t arolina as the state in which to
crystallize iiis dreams. North Carolina
received him with open arms when he
was ejected from Georgia. Friends

THE CONCORD DAILY. TRIBUNE
sprang up in great numbers, and many
prominent North Carolinians volunteered
to join in his defense in event ‘Georgia
authorities pressed their charges against
him. Borglum may be termed tempera
meutal. say citizens here, but at the
same time he is Dot lacking in gratitude
to North Carolina, aud wished his gen
ius to be registered permanently in this
slate. Chimney Rock is his choice tor
the spot at'which to carry out his inten
tion.
While plans are more or less In a
forma rive state, there is some talk thill
the Chimney Rock memorial might be a
tribute to Sir Walter Raleigh or Wood
row- Wilson. Borglum however, has
been quoted as saying that he prefers to
go ahead with his Confederate Memorial
plaus as the site at Chimney Rock is de
clared to be especially suitable for the
panoramic view-mid the contour nnd tex
tme of the rock is'naturally adapted to
the plan so that the project might be put
through much less work than would be
necessary at Stone Mountain.
Financing the project is the one hazy
detail which overshadows everything else
in the way of obstacles. It is believed,
however, that this part of the problem
may be solved. The Chimney Rock de
velopment company would naturally be
a heavy contributor as the publicity in
cidental to the prqjei t nud tile project
itself would be of incalculable value to
the company and the work in which It is
now engaged.. Western North Carolina
as a whole, ever ready to grasp at n pub
licity chance as those familiar with the
“laind of the Sky” 11ml its forwardness,
may be ex|>ected to rally to the cause.
That Itorglum has legions of friends
throughout -the south and the nation
goes without saying as is attested by the
support which was accorded him follow
ing liis departure from Georgia and the
inertia which has characterized the Stone
Mountain memorial association since the
bleak with him. These friends, it is
pointed out, would be quick to rally to
tlie new project and would serve a,s the
leaven which would be calculated to
spread to the point where it would bring
iu adequate financial support. The de
tails for putting across the project, how
ever. remain to be worked out. The big
tiling here is that Borglum has giveu his
approval to the plan, selected Chimney
Rock himself as the suitable spot in the
state for rtit>> project atid is eager and
ready to begin work.
Proper management and financial hand
ling is tile major item for attention now.
The one bad spot which Borglum left
hereabouts is the ator.v which he spread
upon his return to Raleigh that he was
held up aud shot at by a motorcycle, of
ficer somewhere in this immediate sec
tion. Raleigh reports quote him as say
ing that he didn't know just where the
shooting occurred but lie thought it was
in some "sparsely settled section" be
tween Kings Mountain and Gastonia.
That particular sect 1011 is probably more
thickly settled than any other point be
tween Charlotte and Asheville as a row
of cotton mills continues almost unbrok
en between the tVm jHiints. The funny
part too is that the bullet hole was not
discovered until sculptor was having
his car washed lump his return to Ral
eigh. “More temperamental ism” is the
way the affair is characterized here, aud
local citizens are willing to let it go ut
that.
In the ineautimV Borglum has opened
up gossip aplenty here, and future visits
from the sculptor and members of his
party as well as additional developments
are being awaited with intense iuterest
and a high degree of expectancy by West
ern Carolina as a whole. The "Land of
the Sky” sees first of all another big
chance for publicity, and the chance is be
ing embraced with characteristic enthus
iasm.
DO SO YEARS
MEAN 010 AGE?
Some Say "Yes,” Some Say “No.”—Doe
tors and Scientists Claim Old Age
May Be Controlled.
During the past few years, most of us
have read a great deal about “old age”—
when and why it comes—and various
ways to control it.
Old Age comes to gome people in early
middle life. In other cases, it seems to
be a long way off even at 75—so you see,
a mere passing of 50, 60 or even 70
birthdays does not mean old age. Re
gardless of recorded years gone by—How
Yon Feel and How You Act—are the on
ly reliable “measuring Sticks’’ of Age!
And "How you feel and act" is largely
governed by your Nerve Force—that
"vital spark” that gives enduring energy,
youthful courage, confidence, ambition
I and power to do things in a Big and
worthwhile way.
Whether you are 40. 50 or 70* if your
nerves are on edge, frazzled and jaded—
if you lack the ambition and energy to
do things, or the power to carry them
through—if the work and pleasures that
used to be a joy beginning to be a
bore—you will soon know the full mean
jpg of "old age ’ nnlopN you build up your
nerve force now—at once!
For this particular purpose—for de
pleted nerve force, luck of’ strength and
energy, sleeplessness, worry, despondency,
and signs of premature old age— the
Ironux discovery of a well known Vir
ginia Chemist has brought joy and a
feeling of youthful strength and vigor to
many, many thousands. One well known
Norfolk man says, “Since taking Ironux,
I have felt better than anytime in 20
years.” A Richmond dentist says, “Ironux
changed me from a sickly part-time work
er to a strong, healthy, happy man — who
knows life is worth living!" Another
man says, “After taking two bottles of
Ironux, I have gained 12 pounds in
weight and feel like a boy again !”
and so it goes, hundreds of reports of a
similar nature all praialng the powers of
Ironux. This is -remarkable evidence!
Don’t grow old before yonr time—and
don't let lack of nerve force and vitality
“sap” your energy, steal your pleasures
and make you a weakling. For only
SI.OO and good druggist will supply you
with a big bottle of genuine Butcher’s
Ironux on a binding guarantee of money
promptly refunded if you are not won
derfully pleased, Tfcii is your oppor
tunity to quickly and surely prove the
value of Ironux without risk of a penny

Honest People
Pay Their Doctor
Promptly
When you go to your doctor you need him. When you send
a message to your doctor to come to you, you need him.
Your dfector’s time is yours. He is always at your call. He
is always ready to give you of his knowledge, experience and time.
You expect that of your doctor.
In return your doctor expects something of you. When he
sees you today and gives you his service, he expects a recompense.
,Ile comes to your help when you want him and expects you to
come to his just as promptly.
Honest and conscientious people realize this and pay their
doctors promptly.
If your doctor was as slow in coming to see you as you are
in paying him after he has answered your call, he wouldn’t be of
much use to you.
And that is the way he feels about a lot of his patients. They
are not of much use to him.
In times past your doctor has waited months for his pay.
Now he expects it every thirty days. The day of putting off
doctor bills is past.
, There are many who consider themselves honest and honor
able, who on their doctor’s books are classed as deadbeats. They
wear good clothes, their families’ fancies are catered to, their auto
mobiles are as good as any in the neighborhood, maybe better, yet
they owe doctors’ bills that are long past due.
You, who are reading this article, know if you are so classed.
If your conscience is dead, and you are deadbeat, you won’t heed
this warning. If there still remains within you a streak of honesty
you will see your doctor and pay, or make arrangements to pay.
Remember, Your Doctor Is Reading This Article, Too—
Will He Think You’re a “Deadbeat?” He Will, Unless You
Pay.
ROBBING THE ORPHANS
Statesville Daily.
The Messenger. (publication of the
Barium OrphanK’ Home, wants Home of
the scientists. the intellectualH, or higher
ti|*. by whatever name called, to explain
“what makes the human animal do like
he do” at times. The Messenger is
moved to remark because of the disposi
tion of a portion of the human animals
to prey on the orchards of the Barium
Orphanage. Some of them, not entirely
devoid of shame, go under cover of dark
ness. Others step bodly in oiten day
and take and carry away the fruit that
has been grown to feed the orphans. In
mates of the home. There are 360 of
these, and even with rather extensive or
chards, in a good fruit year, there is not
fruit to spare; may not be enough. But
there are people in plenty who will take
that fruit, take it even when they know
it is. not theirs, who know they would
be commixing a wrong, if they were tak
ing it without permission from a pri
vate family that had more than they
could use—these unspeakable people, who
could not be properly named in language
that would get through the mails, take
that fruit from dependent children, take
it out of their mouth,a so to' speak, and
let them go hungry. That is exactly
what they do. No amount of explana
tion can cover the blank, stark naked
ness of the infamy. Frankly we would
not believe this could happen if it was
pot told* published Abroad, by a man df
established reputation | for truth. i, ,
“Nice .people, good people,” goyig borne
from church and* Sunday school in good
cars, stop and take tie children’s fruit.
The Messenger says. Somebody has to
be on guard to prevent wholesale raiding.
Accuse these people of stealing and you
would have a fight on your hands, says
The Messenger. Legally it isn’t that,
in case of those who rob in open day and
make no concealment. But it is worse.
Those who take under cover of night are
legally thieves, but they are not really
so bad as the daylight marauders—mor
ally. that is. The former go under cover
of darkness because they are not lost to
all sense of shame, aa the latter teem to
be; and the night visitors expect pun
ishment if they are caught. Those who
braaenly rob in open day, the same as
taking candy from a baby, expect their
very braxenness to protect them, and it
does, r The Messenger write seems to
think it wouldnt do to prosecute these
people. There is where he mistakes.
There is hardly one, bra sen gs they are
in the perpetration of the deed, who
would not shrink from exposure, in the
courts. They arg not so Insensible of
their conduct aa they profess to be. They
know what the public would aay about
them if they were called to court, the
brand that would be put on them. Hence
the method of open robbery UDder pre
tence of ignorance of the depth of the
infamy.
The Barium superintendent should take
the name of every trespasser he sees and
knows, have warrants issued and try the
publicity of court records and wepspaper
publication. Whether they are legally
punished is immaterial. They would be
exposed as they should be exposed. That
will show them up for what they are.

Plato Wanted Huckleberry Pie.
Hickory Record.
Many years ago Dr. Plato Durham,
now famous theologian, lived in Morgan
tan and ever so often some important
personage would go from that aristocrat
ic town to the great metropolis of New
York, returning home after a brief stay
with remarkable stories of the socialise
in a pertain fashionable hotel. Yonng
Plato heard these wondrous stories and
there awoke in his boyish heart a deter
mination to visit New York and stop at
that grand hotel, and his greatest ambi
tion was to walk into the dining room,
get a table facing Fifth Avenue, and or-
Thursday, July 23, 1925
der a dinner worthy of all his childhood
imaginations.
Finally the time came when he could
go to New York and his first thought
was of the grand hotel about which he
had heard so much. His first night in
the city he dressed in his Sunday’s best,
according to the story told on him, and
walked into the glittering dining room.
Sparkling chandeliers hung from above
and a tfliiny waiter took him to the table
he wanted. He sat down with an air
iof importance, adjusted his sleeves with
excited pulls, gave a final pat to his
sleek hair, anil looked over the menu.
To his utter astonishment everything was
in French and he could not translate a
word. Again and again his eyes wan
dered down the long list of unknown
dishes and as the waiter stood by his side
witli oi>en pad Dr. Durham got nervous.
He tried again to find a familiar name
on the printed card and the waiter shift
ed his weight from one leg to the other.
In desperation Dr. Dtirhnm closed his
eyes, leaned back in his chair and said
in a loud voice:
‘•Waiter, bring me a huckleberry pie.”
Without meaning to comment on the
merit of our little stories we are forced
to say Dr. Durham displayed the beauty
of hia soul by the order he gave. Before
huckleberry pies came under the pie-bak
ing trust, which sad condition now ex
ists, it was food fit for the gods. When
it was placed- on the table the regular
rules of eating pie were done away with
in the interest of art. If the soft and
tasty crust hroke under the strain of
the thick huckleberry juice and a spoon
became necessary a spoon was furnished.
Poetry and the love of art were under
the present trust the pastry is thick
enough to hold the contents firmly. It
Is an imposition on the rights of free
men.

We have not heard any onA make the
charge that Morrison is responsible for
a’.l the State deficit.
We do not think that Governor Mc-
Lean has eyen intimated that Morrison
l* responsible f<jr all the State deficit.
As a mater of fact we believe the de
ficit began years gno.
The one redeeming feature of the
whole thing is that no one has been able
to make a truthful charge of graft buy
where.
We have a deficit and provisions have
been made to take care of It 8o why
not let it go at Mat?
