ORATION DELIVERED BY
HON. BINGER HERMANN
AT CORNERSTONE LAYING
Fellow citizens of Roaeburg:
We have assembled here on this
day to do honor and to give public
recognition to one of the greatest
events in our civic affairs.
We behold before us in the course
of construction a majestic edifice,
placed here in our midst by the Gov
ernment of the United States. It is
designed to accommodate and to pro
tect the various interests of the Gov
ernment which are now concentrated
in this city and have grown so im
portant as to require greater facili
ties in the ordinary and safe dis
patch bf the public business.
And now we are to assist in the
ceremonies of laying the corner
stone. Observance 1" l'nmer Ages.
History informs us that among all
civilized people and from time im
memorial great public structures,
distinguished for dignity and utility,
have received recognition in formal
observances appropriate to the pur
pose. We read of temples, cathedrals,
capital buildings, mosques, monu
ments, mausoleums, and other noted
structures receiving public evidence
of admiration and appreciation.
They are viewed for their beauty ana
use as well as for the lesson they art
to convey to after generations of tin
skill and perfectness, the civil and
religious knowledge of the age in
which they were built. We read in
biblical narrative of that august anc
sublime temple of David and Solo
mon of Israel, which Masonic tradi
tion informs us was so lnarvelouslj
and perfectly fitted that there wat
not heard a sound of axe, hammer 01
any tool of iron, As a test of that
supreme excellence, after almosi
three thousand years, amid all the
mutilations of time and ravages ol
war, portions of the temple walls
still remain.
Again we read of that gorgeous
ceremony attendant upon the dedica
tion of the Parthenon of Athens,
which erected of purest marble and
beautified by the sculpture of Phi
dias, five hundred years before
Christ, still exists in much of its
original form and solidity, a lesson
to architects and builders for all
time.
And so in Home we view the Pan
theon of the time of Augustus Cae
sar, and the best preserved, next to
the Pyramids, of all the works oi
man in existence. There were de
posited in its corner stone the me
morials of that age, with all the
splendor so akin to the then mis
tress of the world.
In Our Own Nation.
In our own Nation we refer to the
laying of the cornerstono or our own
National capital, when with trowel
in hand, the revered Washington
himself assisted in adjusting the
stone in its place. That, too, was a
moment of glad ncclalm in the early
days of the Republic.
Still later, in the youth of some
yet living, we recall the touching
scenes at Bunker Hill, when the
great Daniel Webster then spoke of
the towering monument upon that
spot, in the presence of the vener
able men who fought in the battles
or the American Revolution. 1 he
inspiration of that hour became a
part of our Natiaual life.
Of the Washington monument in
our own beautiful capital city, Its
cornerstone was laid in the presence
of one of our early presidents, and
in view of many of our army and
navy, followed by the booming of
Federal artillery. At a later period
it was formally received by Presi
dent Arthur, surrounded by the sur
viving generals of the Union and
Confederate armies, thousands of the
old soldiers, and by a vast concourse
of citizens, and the officers of the
grand. lodge of Masons of the state
of Virginia. That monument teaches
that though It is the loftiest of Its
kind in the world, it is yet in a
sense not so lofty as the immortal
Washington in whose memory it is
built.
The Vuture of Itoschui-fr.
To speak of this splendid public
building without a reference to the
city in which it is built, would be
subject to censure. This structure
will add another adornment to it. It
will inspire an esthetic taste among
all and attract Increased industrial
expansion, which in any community
rs the best Index of the public spirit
and character. RoseburR Is blessed
with unusual advantages; its scenic
location and beaut if til streets com
mend it to all. It is surrounded by
a rich fruit and agricultural region
which are the sheet anchors of a per
manent future. Our people are of a
moral and educationRl class and
lovers of their homes. With a genial,
healthful, and unsurpassed climate
and of boundless resources In the
country adjacent, it Invites an in
creasing population. It is people
that makes the state as people we
had. before we had a Nation. We
have room to spare upon many ex
pensive and unfilled farm lands.
Man must people them, for lands
without a people are a wilderness. A
vast area of most superior timber is;
all around us. It invites th- nianu-j
faeturer. Soon there will be pro-j
claimed for settlement Immense
region of forfeited railroad lands,

jeholds in the near future a great
central highway from north to
south, constructed of hard surfaced
laving, under scientific engineers.
The immense travel over it will pass
.hrough these streets.
With this, I see another of the
;ame enduring structure, from this
city to tidewater and thence to Asl
itic shipping at our near seaports.
The Federal Government will unite
vith the state and county in push
ng forward these and many other
lighways of our state.
Our own county faces partly upon
he Pacific Ocean that ocean upon
.vhich our Nation has more land
.'rontage than any other nation, and
ipon the currents of that ocean we
reach to the markets of the Orient,
.vhere are found more than one-half
t the people of the earth. By cheap
er and easier transportation to Ull
rich mineral deposits of this country
we shall quicken their development.
A promising future thus beckons
is onward. Let us then look for
ward and not backward, with a reso
lute purpose to persevere unto the
end.

14 acres 19 year old prunes, 11
acres 4 year old prunes, 75 acres

$3446.95 this year. At 7 per cent
interest on the investment, $805.00;
one man's wages at $50 per month,
$600 per year; additional help for
six months at $50 per mo., $300 per
year; the total interest and labor
would bo $1705 per year.
As the proceeds from the prunes
this year amounted to $3446.95, this
leaves a balance of $1741.95 clear
profit.
Remember that besides this there
are 11 acres more of prunes coming
Into bearing, nnd 75 acres good lund
which could be put into prunes,
aside from 58.9 acres timber and
pasture which we have not figured
as bringing in any revenue.

was passed by Congress March 1,
1913, and the contract was let for

ng the present year.
Honor to Whom Honor In Due.
This description should not be
closed without an expression of the
due need of praise for those who
aided in securing the appropriation
provided. Our Senators and Repre
sentatives In Congress should first be
remembered, and though many In
the home town did much, yet one
should ever be remembered among
(he many, and that one Hon. J. W.
Perkins. From first to last he was
at work with personal travel and in
terviews and with a score of stenog
raphers and typewriters, preparing
material for argument which wrnt to
chambers of commerce In every large
city in the Nation and to each Sena
tor and Representative. When

of these ceremonies. He was the
(irst most excellent tirand Master of
the craftsmen who erected the gor

Jerusalem, and his wise supervision
of that sublime structure has left
tradition which has gone down the
ages and is still observed as to many
public buildings, as it is here today
iu ours.

WEEK DOINGS
In spite of the heavy downpour today, business
opened up in great shape here.
All sorts of wet weather goods were in big de
mand all the way from umbrellas to raincoats. Luck
ily for us and the buying public we just unpacked a
big lot of much warned new goods this morning.
They are now all checked off and ready for inspec
tion. Among the most prominent worthy of special
mention are
Splendid qualities of underwear, both in the com
bination style and separate garments, at prices that
will make a big hit with everybody.
Good substantial shoes, particularly the high cut
kind. We bought these below present market prices,
and consequently have cut the regular price several
notches off what they would cost elsewhere.
Smoking and lounging robes, a dandy assortment
of right smart, tasty patterns. You will like them,
they are just fine.
Overcoats and raincoats of the better qualities
and in large sizes, of which we had run short on.
Then there are woolen hose, flannel overshirts,
neckwear, suspenders, and a variety of other things.
None of these goods are as yet shown in the windows,
so we would like you to come in and see what is what
