CHILDREN’S FOUNDERS ROLL STONE MOUNTAIN MEMORIAL The Children’s Founders Roll was inaugurated by the Stone Mountain Conft-derate Monumental Association * n< vP^ er that children of the South might order a share in the carving of the greatest monument that the world has ever known. It provides for the enrollment of white children under eighteen years of age in the great Book of Memory, which will occupy the place of honor in Memorial Hall at Stone Mountain; and for the memorialization of Con federate soldiers whom they wish to honor. Each child who makes a contribu tion will receive a small bronze medal, designed by Gutzon Borglum, showing that he is one of the founders of the memorial, and later, when his name has been inscribed in the great volume of The Children’s Founders Roll, he will receive a certificate showing the number of the page and the line on which his name appears. One dollar was named as the child ren’s contribution because the Asso ciation feels that it is small enough to enable every child in the South to have a part in the memorial. It also makes it possible for all families to •enroll the names of their beloved Con federate kinsmen whether or not they feel that they can take one of the adult Founders Roll memberships of one thousand dollars. For each dollar contributed, a child can enroll any Confederate Soldier that he wishes to remember—his 'grandfather, great grandfather, cous in, uncle or friend. One child may enroll as many names as he likes, provided he sends in one dollar for each name enrolled. For ■each one dollar sent in the child will receive one line for himself and the person he wishes to memorialize. If he desires to memorialize six persons, his cotribution will be six dollars and he will be given six lines in the Book of Memory. When there are two or more child ren in a family, each child can me morialize the same Confederate sol dier or—as many children are doing —the Confederate kin in both branches of the family may be memorialized by dividing the names between the child ren, thus preserving the record of both paterna 1 and maternal ancestors and kin. Contributions will be received in the names of children who are dead—the same rules governing these applica tions as those of living children. Hundreds of children from all parts of the county have already enrolled their names and cards bearing their serial numbers have already been is sued to them pending the completion of the medal and the great book. Each child’s name will be enrolled in the order in which it is received at the office of the Association. Application blanks will be furnish ed to all persons who desire to enroll their children; and organisations, also, may secure as many of the blanks as they need to enroll the children. Names may be sent in through the mails without the application blank. If every child in the South con tributes his share to the memorial, it will mean, not only that the children will have the honor and glory of help ing to build the world’s greatest monument to the world’s greatest heroes, but that they will have con tributed substantially to the memor ial fund, thereby enabling the work to be finished much more quickly. Years ago, when the mothers of the present generation were children, they met each year in memory of the dead. With their own hands they gathered the blossoms from their gar dens, from the fields and woods, and brought them where the women of the South were gathered to weave garlands. As childish fingers bound those blossoms into fragrant circles of remembrance, their hearts stirred and leaped with a strange pride while tears fell upon their eager little hands among the flowers. From older lips, they learned the story of the sixties as they sat amidst memorial blossoms and next day as they marched among the serried ranks of the Confederate dead to lay their garlands down, they trod not by the dust of graves but by the tombs of Glory. The children of today no longer meet to weave memorial wreaths, though blossoms are laid each year upon the graves of the Confederacy. They have lost something of the heri tage that older years have given to the children of the South but now, because of the Stone Mountain Me morial, the South is being quickened again to love, to pride, to tears by the memories of those heroic days. May every child in the South have his and her share in the weaving of Memory’s wreath, so that when the great book at the mountain stands open for the world to see, not a name shall be missing from that Roll of Fame. Applications should be sent to Mrs. J. Rod Davis, chairman for Coffee County. | Broxton News Mrs. D. D. Newbern Rev. J. H. Stanford, of Adel, preach ed the commencement seimon Sun oay moriibig.
