There are prohably few people in town who know that the monument at which the exercises will be held wes designed by N. A. Moore and was the first monument to be erccted in the United States in honor of the vet- erans_of the Civil war, N. A. Moorc was an uncle of Miss Marjorie Moor:, who is active in planning the exer- cises for this day. In studying past history, Miss Moore has le#rned -that the monument was dedicaked . on July 28, 1863. The shaft for the monument was sccured by the farmers of the town at the stone quarries in Portland. ‘The shaft was drawn to Kensington ‘rom Dort- land by oxen. History states that Rev. E. B. Hil- lard, at that time pastor of the Con- gregational church, inspired the build- ing of the- monument after he had heard of the reports of many bat- tles at which the lives of seven Ken- sington men had heen sacrificed. An amount equal to $350 wasruised by the minister in his effort to have the= monument erected. 7Th2 monu- ment is of Portland brown stone and stands 20 feet in height. While the men in those days were busy preparing the monument the women of Kensington made an Am- erican 'flag with 38 stars in it. This flag is still kept in the safe at the Kensington Congregational church and will be taken qut on Memorial Day. Because of its age the lag will not be taken out of doors bu* wiil be kept in the church where anyone may see it who desires. Children to Participate. B. R. Showalter stated the meeting last evening that the school children of the town will participate in the exercises and that they are being drilled by the teachers. Pianning Public Concert.

The lynching occurred at the scene of the murder and folowed an alleged confession from the youthful prisoner. He was tortured over a slow fire for fifteen minutes, and then, shrieking with pain, w questioned concerning his accomplices. * Atkins was said to have implicated another negro boy but to have ex- onerated his own brother whose name had been connected with the crime in a statement made soon after his ar- rest. Members of the mob, comprising nearly 2,000 persons, then raised the body again, fastened it to a pine tree with trace chains and relighted the fire. More than 200 shots were fired into the charred body. The mob then started on a search for the ' negro Atkins had named as his accomplice. Mrs. Kitchens who served as a rural mail carried, was robbed and murder- ed early yesterday near Davisboro. PINCHOT INCREAS| Additional Figures Today Put T'urther Ahead of Alicr.
