Model of Stone Mountain Made
By Sculptor and Plans Laid
For Huge D. of C. Memorial
The Stone Mountain Confederate
memorial which provides for sculp
ture on the mountain side on a scale
surpassing anything else in history,
beside which the pyramids and othei
ancient monuments will appear almost
insignificant, is getting into a definite
status. Actual developments are ex
pt cted after the first of the year.
Surveys have already been made of
tilemountain, and Gutzon Borglum, the
the sculptor ,has made a model of the
monument in scale. Lawyers are now
working on the papers which will con- i
vey from the Venable family to the '
monument association the perpetual
use of the mountain.
A subscription campaign will be
started early next year. This, it is ex- •
pected, will be national in scope. With-I
cut any solicitation at all, men in the
east have promised to give SIOO,OOO.
Mr. Borghum’s original estimate fig- ’
ured the cost of the work at S2,(J)O,- '
000.. After consultation with expert
quarryman, he has reduced that esti
mate by about $400,000.
Mr. Borglum has just returned to
New Yorkk from a visit to S. H. Vena
ble. He intends to make speeches be
fore various Southern societies in the '
» *
east, setting forth the plan. Later on
state campaigns will be started by the
various Confederate organizations. I
It is hoped to raise a large part of
t ie necessary amount in the South, al
though the whole nation will be in- j
terested. The sculpture will depict the ,
war from a Southern standpoint.
Mention has already been made of
the plan’s details. Figures forty or '
fifty feet high, representing the South- !
crn generals and marching regiments'
showing the Confederate and Union -
armies, will be carved out of the moun-j
tain granite. These will be visible for!
miles. j
In addition there will be thirtet\i
columns carved out of the mountain,
these representing the original states.
Behind them, enclosed in heavy plate
glass, will be rooms for each state,
hollowed from the granite.
The plans also provide for an exten
sive park around the mountain, in
which there will be additional statues
showing the military leaders of the
c vil war.
The work will be done a section at a
time, in three sections, its completion ’
requiring eight years.
Aside from its historic and artistic
value, the memorial would pay for it
self in making Atlanta and Georgia a
mecca for tourists.
Mr. Borglum says that nature, fn
providing a mountain of granite, has
done more for Georgia in a monumen
tal way than any other slate he knows i
about.

HENRY FORD IS
A CLOWN, SAYS
A. 0. PARKER
NEW YORK, Dec. 6.—Former Judge
Alton B. Parker issued a typewritten
statement here concerning the sail
ing of the Ford peace party. He said:
I “If we could only be sure that all
other nations would estimate him as
we do—as a clown strutting the stage
, for a little time—no harm would come
, of it.”
I The statement follows:
I "In common with many others, 1
have deemed it impossible that an un-
' informed man, exploited by those who
i would fatten on his millions, would
i venture abroad proclaiming the right
, to speak for our people in a critical
international situation. We are now
I confronted with the sailing of Mr. Ford
and his party and he still persists.
The time has come for the people to
. let him know that under our govern
ment the president is authorized by
. tie people to speak for them, or desig
, nate who shall.
I “Ford’s ignorance and conceit em
. boldened him to seek the honor and
power of such a designation, coupled
I with the president’s blessing, which,
• according to Ford, was denied him.
I “Still he persists, and at last has
1 secured the blessing of a former cab
: iaet member, which he has published
J broadcast.
> “If we could only be sure that all
i other nations would estimate him as
,w e do—as a clown strutting on the
• stage for a little while —no harm could
| come of it, but we have no such assur- I
ance. The chances are that his antics
will be taken seriously and that they
will tend to bring us into contempt, if
■ rot hatred.
“His program of summoning the
troops from the trenches by wireless
is leading to serious discussion abroad.
The possibilities of worse absurdities
in the near future is shown by the
antics and mouthings of the past two
weeks. The people and press of this
country should tell him to stay at
heme and the government should re
voke his passport and those of his
guests.”
HAD BRONCHIAL ASTHMA i
i
SO BADLY MAN COULD NOT LIE !
DOWN— CURED BY VINOL.
For years and years we have been !
telling the people of Americus that Vi
nol is a wonderful remedy for bron
chial troubles. Here is positive proof:
Tilden, 111. “For five years I suf
fered from bronchial asthma. In the
winter time I was obliged to sit in
a Morris chair all night, as I could
not lie down, owing to that dreadful
, choking sensation. I tried nearely |
i every known remedy, but nothing ■
| gave me any relief until one day I
i met the station agent at Willisville,
| 111., and he said he had been a suf
i serer for years, but had been cured
iby Vinol. I at once commenced to
take it, and the result is my cough
'is gone, my appetite has improved,
find I can lie down and sleep all night,
and my experience leads me to be
lieve that Vinol Is a certain remedy
for bronchial asthma.” John H. Con
dell, Tilden, 111.
The reason that cough syrups fail
iin such cases is because they are
I piliative only, while Vinol removes
j the cause, being a constitutional rem-;
edy In which are combined the heal
' iiig elements of fresh cod livers, to
gether with tonic iron and beef pep
(tone. It strengthens and revitalizes
th e entire system and assists nature
tc expel the disease. Hooks’ Phar
