Pacts, Says Ernest Camp In Statement
MONROE, Ga.—Ernest Camp,
Director of Publicity for the Stone
Mountain Memorial Harvest Cam*
palgu, Thursday issued the follow,
ing statement to the press:
In view of certain statements
made by the retiring President of
the Georgia Division V. V. C. at
the recent state convention facts
are set fort hfor the benefit of
the public:
' The Stone Mountain Confeder
ate Monumental Association holds
a deed to a strip of ground on
Stone Mountain 1,000 feet wide
and extedning into the mountain
approximately 1,000 feet, the tract
comprising about twenty-eight
acres. From time to time state

abovo answered charges was en
dorsed at the recent state con
vention, although ft did not rep
resent the majority sentiment of
the Georgia U. D. C. Through
their peculiar manner of voting,
the Atlanta and Macon chapter
have several' times the voting
strength of the smaller chapters
and for this reason they were
able to dominate the convention,
although there were strong pro
tests from loyal delegates from
various sections of the state.
Following this action the deci
sion was made to mail copies of
the retiring president’s antagon
ists report to the 17. D. C. chap
ters In other states of the South.
Protests against this plan of de
formed persons that this deed i liberately going out of the state
was made to the Daughters of the ! to place obstacles In the path of
Confederacy, but this is not the fthe Memorial movement are com-

Books Are Audited.
Some of the uninformed have
said that the Association has
never kept accurate accounts of
Its affairs or audited its books.
This is far from correct. The
Audit company of the South was
engaged in the fall of 1923 to audit
the books of the Association every
two or three months. The Audit

most prominent and reliable firms

states that every penny was prop

j submarines.
Admiralty officials are still as
much in the dark as ever regard

ports from officials of the maneu
vering fleet who saw the M-l take
the fatal plunge are too indefinite
and speculative to furnish an ex
planation.
The absence of oil on the water
in the vicinity where tho M-l
submerged suggests to some of
.the admiralty officials that tho

she went down and this fact en
couraged* some hope that the crew
might be repairing an internal in
jury and tliat the submarine ulti
mately would come t«^ the surface.
The lapse of time since 'the M-l
went beneath the wnter, however,
now has removed any such hope.
The question whether the sub
marine, if it is found, can be
reached by divers, remains an
open one, but an attempt certain
ly will be made if the position of
the craft is located.
