AN OPPORTUNITY AND OBLIGATION
(From The Walton Tribune)
To Georgia comes the distinction of
furnishing the master monolith, the
eighth wonder of the world, Stone
Mountain, and on the rugged face of
this mountain is being carved the
greatest memorial of all time. The
nation applauds as the South pays
enduring tribute to its heroes, and
world-wide interest centers in the
completion of the task to which the
illustrious Lukeman has set his
A campaign is now in progress for
the sale of Stone Mountain Memorial
half dollars, the proceeds from which
go to carrying on this great work.
In some sections the sale has been
most gratifying and The Tribune is
sure that the state will finally ex
reed its quota and rally with its na¬
tive warmth and enthusiasm to the
consummation of this immortal idea,
the greatest of its kind ever con
ceived by man.
It is almost inconceivable that
ty years after the War Between the
States the Federal Government would
agree to mint a coin as “A Memorial
to the valor of the Soldier of the
South,” but in doing so it has remov
ed every trace of sectional bitterness,
acknowledged its admiration for the
Confederate soldier, and participated
jn an imperishable testimonial to the
Confederate cause.
The fact that the bill authorizing
the coinage was introduced in Con
gress by Northern members, during
■ Republican administration, was
passed without a word of objection
or a dissenting vote, and then approv
ed by a New England President,
marks a new epoch in American his
tory and is the most gracious tribute
that the people of the North could
pay the Scuth.
The Stone Mountain half dollar
the only coin ever minted by the
United States in honor of any Aineri
can army, and it was issued in honor
of the Confederate *trniy, which was
once at war with the United States.
From the standpoint of value it is
placed on a par with gold and is one
of the few coins issued to commemo-

Good yields of hay have been ob

on its face the majestic figures of
Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson

sentiment that should appeal to every
loyal son and daughter of the South.
i Do we of Georgia fully appreciate
the stupendous tribute paid the South

honor our heroic sons? Are we cog

We burst into applause when the
band plays “Dixie,” and we bare our

I To do less—to fail in support of
the Stone Mountain Memorial and the
