: STONE MOUNTAIN :
ITS MESSAGE AND ITS MEMORIES
(U. D. C. PRIZE ESSAY BY DOROTHY ALEXANDER)
“Thru untold ages did the vision wait
Undreamed of till God's chosen
servant came,
And in the Granite Wonder’s face
Saw fate flash forth a figured mir
acle to fame.”
Like Ernest in the “Great Stone
Face,” little have the people of to
day realized what a wonder Stone
Mountain is. It has lain at our very
doorsteps for centuries without any
one recognizing its great possibili
ties until a few far-sighted people
realized how the heroism of the Con
federacy could he immortalized by
that imperishable monument.
There are many reasons why it is
suited for this great memorial. Be
ing the largest mass of solid granite
in the world, Stone Mountain will
stand the test of time better than
anything else.
It is the eighth wonder of the
world, and will surpass the other sev
en when completed. The magnitude
of it will be all the more, since all
the other wonders have either been
n wonder of nature or man alone;
Stone Mountain will be a wonder
which combines both, making it a
cause for marvel through all fu
turity.
The historical background is ideal.
The surrounding country is where
the armies of the sixties trod while
engaging in the Battle of Atlanta.
Even the color seems to imply that
this mountain was created for this
great purpose. The mountain is a
mile around its base, a mile and one
half long, and eight hundred and
MXty-revcn feet high on the side to
l e carved.
This great undertaking was made
posible by Mr. Samuel Hoyt Venable,
who generously gave the mountain
for tne memorial. The idea of a
memorial was first conceived by Mr.
William Terrell; Mr. John Temple
Graves heartily endorsed it. The
idea was first put into action by
Mrs, Helen Plane. Mr. Gutzon Bor-

glum, the great kculptor appointed
for this task, changed the plans of 1
the memorial by enlarging it to a |
panorama in proportion to the size |
of the mountain .
The panorama will cover over an
acre of the mountain surface. The
figure of Lee alone from the brim i
of his hat to the hoof of his horse 1
will be as tall as a fifteen story -
office building. The figures of Lee,
Davis, and Jackson will hold the ■
j central position, with the armies i
i mobilizing about them.
Right under the panorama, Memor-
I ia] Hall will be quarried out of the '
| mountain. It will have thirteen open
ings, each representing a state of the I
’ Confederacy. Here all the records
and relics of the Confederacy, dear
i to the South, will be kept. By means
! of the Founders Roll, and the Child
i ren Founders Roll, not even the low- ;
est private will be forgotten.
This stupendous undertaking has
aroused the interest of the whole
world. Foreign nations consider it a
privilege to contribute to the Memo
rial.
I It has aroused the sleeping memor-i
: ies of the bitter-sweet past in the
hearts of all Southerners. As the
children of the future look upon the
| colossal figures of Lee on the moun
tain, memories of this great man will
surge forward. They will remember j
I what a great leader be was. not only I
' of an army but of men as well; how
he represented the ideals of the South
of the past, present, and of all man-
1 kind; that he was "a Caesar without
his ambition, Frederick without his
। tyranny, Napoleon without his self
-1 ishness, and Washington without his
reward. He was as obedient to author
ity as a true king. He was as gentle
, as a woman in life, pure and modest
as a virgin in thought, and watchful
as a Roman vestal in duty. He was
1 submissive to law as Socrates, and
grand in battle as Achilles.”
1 The men of the South, like Lee,
who fought, bled, and died for the
i future generations, deserve to have
their memory cherished and preserv
ed through al) eternity by something
indestructible like Stone Mountain.
The next hero memory will present
will be Jefferson Davis. Davis, the
I true American who loved the Union,
and served it as a congressman, sena
tor, and Secretary of State. He was
i in line for the presidency of the
I United States, but sacrificed his op
' portunities to lead the Southern Con
federacy. He underwent many hard-
I ships and much suffering because of
his important office, but he bore it
; with a patience that was sublime. He
was a victim of all the misfortune,
I and a martyr for the cause. There is
i not a Southerner who does not revere
the mime of "Jeff Davis.”
, “We loved him all the dearer for his
wounds.
Endured for us, and on an Em
pire’s throne,
i Built of Love’s pure gold,
| The outlawed king, tho' scoffed
and scorned by all the world
besides.
, Was diademed in every Southern
। heart."
They will see yet another figure.
I looming forward and will remember
Stonewall Jackson, the right-hand,
num of Lee. As n general, Jackson
is often compared to Napoleon. In
his skill and swiftness of action he
even surpassed Napoleon. He never
gave himself credit for a single vic
tory. but attributed it all to the Al
mighty. Jackson was a great man
because he lived up to his motto:,
"Do your duty and leave the rest to
God."
While looking at all the great lead-,
era, let us not forget the private sol
dier. Though modest and obscure he
loved the cause for which he fought'
as well as the greatest of leaders,
and he died the death of the brave.
Nor must we forget the Southern
woman—that unselfish soul who re-.
THE MONROE ADVERTISER
mained in the background urging the
men on to victory, who smiled when
all seemed lost and cheered many a
despondent heart when hers was al
most broken.
A great type of Southern woman
hood is “Winsome Winnie” Davis.
Death does not always mean to
die; the South remembers well how
the men and women of the sixties
sacrificed all for the future genera
tions. How they rebuilt their wasted
homes and healed their broken hearts
that we might grow once more into
a prosperous nation. The ones who
are defeated, and yet fight on when
all seems lost, deserve far more glo
ry and praise than the ones who pass
on having won the victory.
The New South is a manifestation
of our fathers’ valiant struggle
through the dark period of recon
struction. Their spirit of determina
tion to rebuild and be cheerful even
in their weakened state won admira
-1 tion from their bitterest foe.
A result of this spirit is seen in
the present generation. The sons of
the heroes who wore the Blue and the
Gray fought together for that same
imperishable principle of justice in
the World War. They proved that
I “the glory' of the father is the herit
age of the son, and the glory of the
son is the crown of the father.”
Because we have such memories as
these, the message of the mountain
will be an inspiring message, and ev
er a reminder of our ideal of honor
and justice. Its great influence over
us will be like the influence of the
“Great Stone Face” over the life of
Ernest.
The spirit of the mountain seems
to tell us that our cause was a just
cause. We fought for the rights of
the Constitution and not against
them. We loved the Constitution,
for was it not the South's Washing
ton, Jefferson, Madison and Monroe
who laid the foundation of our gov
ernment of today? The "Lone Sen
tinel” seems to tell us that our cause,
was not lost and the struggle for
nought, for out of the chaos of war
came the awakening of what a na
tion should be, and from it a new and
noble nation was born.
May the Gray’ Minstrel ever sing
their praises, and keep alive the fires
about the. sacred altar of memories!
“Lone singer of the Plain, 0 lift thy
lay,
And give thy harp’s mute music to
the Gray.”
