SIDE, MOVING INTO ACTION,
IF BORjGLUM'S PLAN IS CARRI-
ED OUT
One of the greatest artistic plans
in sculpture ever evolved through
which a Mountain of Granite will
be converted into heroic figures of
the leaders of the Confederacy and
their armies is presented by Gutzon
Borglum, the sculpture, in con
nection with the plan to nv’ke a Con
federate Memorial of Stone Moun
tain.
It is estimated that the great
scheme will require sixteen years
for its completion, and the cost will
undoubtedly run upwards of $2,000-,
000.00. As monuments, the pyra
mids will be insignificant In com
parison.
Mr. Borglum. however, opposed
the idea of carving the Mountain
into a monument, but proposes in
stead to reconstruct the g r eat char

War between the North and the
South.
forward with expectancy, represent
ed in all their fitness, would revive
all that was best in those heroic
days and i feel that the scheme
speaks for itself, and in it we give
to posterity, as we only can at this
hour, a true representation of those
Americans. None of the work here
planned will be placed upon the
mountain; all scruptural work here
contemplated of any kind whatso
ever relating to this monument, will
be cut in the living granite found
in place. As we find it, our com
position will adjust itself to meet
the natural conditions of the stone.

For years and years we have been
telling the people of Thomasville
that Vinol is a wonderful remedy
bronchial troubles. Here is
positive proof:—
Tilden, Ill. "For five years I suf
fered from bronchial asthma. In the
winter time, 1 was obliged to sit in
Morris chair all night, as I could
not li« down, owing to that dreadful
choking sensation. I tried nearly
every known remedy, hot nothing
gave me any relief until one day I
met the Station Agent at WillisviUe.
Ill., and he said he had been a suf
ferer for years, but had been cured
by Vinol. 1 at once commenced to
take it, and the result is my cough
is gone, my appetite has improved,
and I can lie down and sleep all
nigh?, and my experience leads me
to believe that Vinol is a certain
remedy for bronchial asthma." John
H. Condell, Tilden, Ill.
The reason that cough syrups fail
In such cases is because they are
paliatlve only, while Vinol removes
the cause, being a constitutional
remedy in which are combined the
healing elements of fresh cod livers,
together with tonic iron and beef
peptone. It strengthens and revi
talizes the entire system and assists
nature to expel the disease. (R.
