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 is the lift and thrill peculiar to all the works of his I have seen, Lee Jackson are not posing for their ture, nor discussing Rome phase of campaign, Jefferson Davis is not civilian president visiting the out of Richmond.
