u PUT GORDON WHERE HF. BELONGS
f?ow that work has been commenced on the plans
of Ae Stone Mountain Memorial Association in plac
ing ihe groups of the Confederate officer* on the
moAtain, and since'it has been announced that Lee,
Daws and Jackson would lie in one group and promi
nent generals from this and other states would be
placed in other groups, would it be improper to in-
iui£: why Rot place our own and beloved Genera
B Gordon, one of the greatest generals and
Her»es the south produced along with Lee, Davis and
Jackson, tiiakirtg a quartette of four of the greatest
warriors of the Confederacy. ., . . l
Stone Mountain, the marvel of the woHd. ls.to be
dedicated to the "lost cause. It is a Georgia pio-
. ducKand the only' fountain in the world which has no
equal. This being true, would it not be wise and
proper to honor a son of this state along with the
other’three great generals when his record stands out
as prominent as any one who served the cause for
•vhicH our country paid the toll in the destruction of
property and with the lives of the truest and best red-
blooded citizens the nation has ever produced.
W& have no desire to interrupt any plans which
mnv have been entered into by the officers of the
assocf&tion, but we cannot help but feel that the only
reason for the name of General John B. Gordon be-
- lng omitted from the proposed group composed of
Lee. Davis and Jackson was purely nn oversight and
the attention of the committee need only to be called
to thejomisrlon in order tohavc the nameofC.eoijgias

THE SOUTH’S CONTRIBUTION TO THE NORTH
Reports from a visit made by Hon. Hollbts N,
" nlnli chairman of the Stone Mountain Memqrlal
tsoqiatibn, through several of the states north of the
Jasop .and Dixon line, shows a magnanmoUs sp rit
■ part of the people in that section of the coitn-
ivards the movement inaugurated by the people
y till south to build a permament memorial to the
•acred memory of the Confederate dead. These peo-
Dle readily responded to Mr. Randolph s appeal for
lund4 and he was assured by bankers, business men
and civic organizations that the people of the north
would co-operate with the people of the south by
rlbuting money to this wonderful memorial to
lerp^tuate the “lost cause” for all time to come. If
lie building of this memorial will help to restore a
irotlmrly feeling between the states, and especially
.ftween those who wore the blue and the Btey, then
; is worth the price regardluss of the amount The
rid-war was u blessing to our nation; it brought
iriu war was u wnwii , ,
r people together in a common cauye and for the
otcction of our Country arid homes irrespective of’
section*, and our boy* in solid phalanx, hand in hand,
forgetting all part differences which had occurred
between their father*, carried "Old Glory" to the
front and planted It on German toil and* won the
greatest victory-the world has ever known for the
safety of democracy and the protection of their
country and homes. ... , .
Our suggestion 1* that a great highway be built
from Stone Mountain to Atlanta, with a sixty foot
roadway on either ride and in the center a memorial
park be constructed in which to place monuments to
ttie heroes of the greatest struggle the world has ever
knoivn and, who have gone to the great beyond
■where no sectional strife can ever arise. Would it
not be appropriate to have a monument for Lee and
Graitt; Davis and Lincoln and so on down the line of
the great men who gave their lives for those things
they believed to be right, and now in this great re
union of sentiment in constructing a memorial for
the Confederate dead', let us go farther and build the
highway lined with memorials to both the blue and
the gray and show* by-our deeds our friendship and
the forgetting of all past differences, -and a ’desire
for L .reunited country and a reunited citizjepship
witli'no north—no south, but one great nation, the
“‘uperior to all others.
” Tfctf stock market having lost part of its reliability
as a weather-vane of general business conditions, you
turif to the next weather-vane—movement of freight ,
by the railroads. For three weeks in June, latest re
ported, the roads hauled over a million cars of freight
'll wjmk. It’s a record, for this time of year, never
before equaled. It seems logical that business is not
ordering the stuff moved by freight unless it is reas
onably sure of a market for it. If correct, the winter
outlook is good. Spring business, like spring weath
er, is too far away to predict.

Daily Poems
This See-Sawing Isn’t Helping Matters Much
BEVONI) THE PALE
By Berton Bra ley
I try to love my fellpwnian, I do
in all sincerity!*
And it is v»*ry seldom that I
fail.
f know that I have every need for
tolerance and charity,
And other folks are similarly
frail.
f can forgive a lot of things, from
forgery to homicide;
- ’Most every sin that history re
veals.
But there’s one sort of criminal
k’ho brushes all my calm
aside— , . .
The bird who wields if toMhpfck
after meals!
I can forgive some guys Avho, lir|l
a life of deep depr3vi»y.
But not the goof who probes i.i
ewry tooth;
Who tries to trace within his face
the locus of a cavity;
He drives me to insanity in
truth!
So I cannot be harsh upon a
sinner;
But nix upon the sort of man who
mixes meals with lunjbor-
ing!
The bird who wields a toothpick
after dinner!
