A BRAND NEW SWINDLE
Newlyweds! Every one on the train
knew they were, despite their efforts
to appear as though they were taking
an everyday journey. They had
boarded one of the fast New York
Central trains which carried passen
gers to Niagara Falls “and points
West” just before it left the Grand
Central Station.
The train had barely started to
gather speed after passing 125th
street when the bridegroom went into
the smoking room of their car with
a telegraph blank in his hand and a
distressed and embarrassed manner.
He finally confided to amused and
sympathetic listeners that they had
just been married and that in the
rush of getting off he had left his
wallet with his tickets in the auto
mobile. They were bound for Niaga
ra Falls on their honeymoon. Te
plained that he was telegraphing to
have money set to him at Albany but
in the meantime he wondered what
he would tell the conductor.
“You don't suppose he would put
us off the train?” he inquired. Then
another thought struck him. What
will we do about the dining car? We
have no money to eat.”
With the world-wide sympathy for
lovers in a plight several men offer¬
ed to lend money until the train got
to Albany and he could receive an
answer to his wire. De diffidently
accepted $35 and disappeared in the
direction of the diner.
The comedy has been played three
, .. . , p ,,
times now an< e ra] ria a

warning their conductors to be on
guard for the pair. They are never

LUKEMAN’S MEMORIAL MODEL
A WONDERFUL ACHIEVEMENT
—
We have seen Augustus Lukeman’s
model for the central group of the
Stone Mountain Memorial. For forty
minutes we stood basking in the glory
of his accomplishment, fascinated by
the harmony of its contours and mov
ed by its marvelous charm.
Graced by every evidence of ar
tistry, the model is acclaimed a mas
terpiece by art lovers, but holds an
equal challenge for the neophyte and
breathes universal appeal. The sculp
for has exceeded the expectations of
his champions and silenced all ques
tionists as to his skill. Transferred
to the face of Stone Mountain his
conception will remain an everlasting
tribute to his genius, the wonderment
and admiration of the world.
Robert E. Lee, Jefferson Davis and
Stonewall Jackson are the predomi
nant figures in the portraiture, with
the illustrious Southern chieftain
dominating the group. Immediately
following are two color bearers and
behjnd these four unnamed Confed
erate generals who will be modeled
into likeness after the various South
[ era historians have determined who
I they shall he.
j mrne< jj a tely you look upon the
model you are struck by the action
! so evident in every outline, but swift
ly your eyes travel to the central
figures and reaching their faces your
attention remains definite and fixed,
Astride and faithful Traveller, Lee
rides with all his characteristic grace
and elegance, erect, alert, resolute,
his stern face tempered by a knowl
edge of his people’s suffering, his
great heart stirred by a sympathy
such as only great souls can feel. And
in the great leader’s countenance
are blended all the qualities of no
bility, unselfishness, purity and stead
fastness that illuminated his knightly
life.
In Jefferson Davis’ face we catch
the shadows of the Confederacy, a

sadness born of conviction that the
Southern cause was lost. It is a face
portraying both power and pathos,
the reflection of a great intellect and
ehivalric heart.
Stonewall Jackson is commanding
in appearance, his face presenting a
spirit of triumph that is absent in
the likeness of Lee. Bold, brilliant
and indomitable, his expression is
that of the victorious commander who
has never suffered defeat.
Taken as a whole, the work is such
as to elicit the highest praise and
admiration. And walking out of the
Biltmore hotel we were inspired and
exalted, feeling almost as if we had
been in the living presence of these
heroes of another day.
-
The figure of General Lee on the
mountain will be 153 feet high from
the top of his head to his horse’s
hoofs, and the others in similar scale,
Mr. Lukeman designed the group in
conformity with the contour of the
mountain and arranged the figures of
Lee, Davis and Jackson to fit into
and utilize the work already done. He
estimates that the group can be carv
ed in two years; and upon its com
pletion work upon other features of
the stupendous undertaking will be
begun.
The work of carving the Memorial
is to be resumed on October 1st. In
the meantime the Harvest Campaign
for selling Memorial Half Dollars has
been launched in every Southern
state, each state organization being
headed by its Governor and having
the active sympathy and co-operation
of prominent men and women of af
fairs.—Ernest Camp, in The Walton
Tribune.

Wilson College Is
Great Opportunity
Opportunity, material and cultural,
seen by the press of Georgia in
the creation of a living Memorial to
Woodrow Wilson. The forward look
ing men who sieze upon all opportune
ties unselfishly to advance the info
est of their state and plate it among
the leaders in the nation, have given
expression to their views upon t e
project to establish Woodrow Wilson
College. They believe that Georgia io
the place to erect this living memoria
to a world leader, as Frank Lawson of
the Dublin Courier-Herald says.
“It is particularly fitting that, »toi
gia should be the first state to erect
a memorial to the martyrei i son
since it was in Geoigia that e spent
the formative years of his life am
grew to manhood.” In the Columbus
Ledger R. M. Page says. It is going
to prove one of the most notewoit y
undertakings in this state and Geor
gians ought to back it up 100 per cent
strong.” Col. W. R. Neal of the
vannah News adds: A great rnonu
ment is proposed to a great leader,
to be erected in Georgia where he
first began active life a memorial
college to remind the generations o
the work of Woodrow Wilson. What
more fitting monument coul e con
ceived than an institution of earn
ing as a memorial for such a ' e •
In the same vein the Atlanta Gons i
tution says: “It is fitting that such
an institution—an appealing memo
rial conception by reason of the long
association of Mr. Wilson with edu
cation work—should be established
in Georgia. It was in this state that
the War president began his career
as a lawyer which he subsequent y
abandoned for teaching. The first
Mrs. Wilson, the mother of his chil
dren, is buried at Rome, the home of
her girlhood.”
As to the nature of the college it
self, W. T. Anderson of the Macon
Telegraph says, “We have an oppor
tunity to have in Georgia a college
that will be known internationally

for the things it teaches rather than
for its size.” In the Millwood News I
W. L. Herrin quotes, “When people
criticise Georgia, let us turn in and
build the great Woodrow Wilson Col
lege at Valdosta honoring a Georgian
and a southerner and a president of
the United States> not on ] y a national
institution but an international one. ''
Along the same line are the com

Q u ; m k y Melton of the News-Sun at
Q r jffj n; “This million dollars can be
ra j sed an( j ra j se d easily if only the
peQp j e can de awa kened as to what
it is all about.” Appropos of which
j (din q Herring of the Tifton Ga
zette po j n f s ou t, “Georgia must do
^ par f first. Georgia’s generosity
toward this great educational institu
tion will be the measure of the liber¬
ality of the friends of Mr. Wilson out
side of the state. If As to the financial
plan itself, Jack Williams of the La-
m AT HOME
and Get Full Value
for Your Money
Grange- Reporter, says, “It wil! be
adequately financed before it is be- 1
gun. Valdosta has already raised
$500,000 toward the sum required. An
additional million dollars is soon to .
be sought in Georgia before the ap- j
peal is carried to Wilson’s friends
throughout the nation. This is as it
should be. Georgians, as ever before,
will do their part.”
An interesting side-light on the sit
uation is revealed by Editor J. J.
Howell of the Cuthbert Leader: “Far
be it from us to “knock” but it oc
curs to us that the propaganda agen¬
cies are wasting a considerable sum
that could be more judiciously appli¬
ed. Seldom a day passes unless we
receive two or three long-winded ar¬
ticles from them for free publication.”
The following reply is from W. T. Ba
con of the Madison Madisonian, “The j
Cuthbert Leader complains about the
flood of publicity matter received. It
doesn’t bother us at all, a convenient
waste basket is filled with it daily.”
Discussion of the location of the col¬
lege is settled by T. W. Khytle of
the Adel News: “Valdosta is entitled
to the Woodrow Wilson College. That
city started the movement and if is
too late now for another city to try
to get it.”
An expression of good will comes
from the pen of James B. Nevin of
the Atlanta Georgia, “The Atlanta
Georgian wishes all possible success
to the movement having in view the
establishment of this college and will
be only too glad to lend a hand in
every way possible in bringing it to

a successful consummation.” J. D.
Jones of the Progress-Argus says,
“The movement to establish the
Woodrow Wilson college at Valdosta
as a memorial to the great war pres
jdent is a most morthy one and peo
pie of the entire country are showing
much interest in the matter.”
A summing up is given by Ernest
Camp of the Monroe Walton Tribune:
“As we see it, our people shall have
an opportunity to do something that
shall be worthy of their love and pa
triotism, worthy of the profressioa
they have made to stand for every¬
thing that is laudable in—the Wood
row Wilson College.
