WORK ON STONE MOUNTAIN
CONFEDERATE MEMORIAL TO
BE RESUMED THIS WEEK
Monroe, Ga., Dec. 7. Much inter¬
est has been aroused by the recent
visit of the eminent sculptor, Mr.
Augustus Lukcman, to Atlanta, and
the announcement that work on the
massive Stone Mountain Memorial
will be resumed this week. Mr. I.uke
man officially advised the executive
committee that he was ready to be
gin work and he was instructed to
proceed.
While in Atlanta Mr. Lukeman
presented the Menforia) Association
a model for the great Memorial Hall
which is to be carved out of the
mountain below the central group. It
is a magnificent niece of work, com
plete and beautiful in every detail,
showing a section of the north side
of the mountain and all details of the
ha*! and approaches thereto, in minia
ture. It was presented by Mr, Luke
man as A gift to the Association, free
of charge, and was accepted with a
vote of thanks.
This model is now set up in the
jstudio at Stone Mountain for the iu
spection of the public and every one
who visits the mountain is invited
to go into the studio and see it, along
with the other models and photOi
graphs exhibited.
In the Atlanta Journal of recent
date there appeared an illuminating
comparison of the Horglum and Luke¬
man models for the central Group
of the Stone Mountain Memorial from
the pen of Harry Stillwell Edwards,
the distinguished Georgia author,
Lukeman’x work being pronounced far
superior. After saying that Bor
glum’s effort suggested "convention
and adaption,” Mr. Edwards pays the
following masterly tribute to the
Lukeman design:
"But in the Lukeman design
