Now I SEE that it can be done. There is nothing else like it in all the world. There never will be.” United States Senator Royal Cope land, of New York, had seen on Stone Mountain a picture of the cen tral group of figures to be carved there by Gutzon Borglum. He had seen a photographic reproduction of the stupendous group in exactly the location and exactly the dimensions it will be carved. And with keen insight into the sculptor’s problem of ‘‘planting” his figures on the precipice, he realized that the giant projection lantern had solved this riddle and opened the way to complete realization of the glorious dream. For one does not have to be a sculptor to know that a sculptor first traces an outline of his figure on the background of his carving, the same as a painter traces an outilne of his painting on the canvas. And one does not have to be a sculptor or an engineer to perceive the enormous difficulty, not to say impossibility, of tracing figures of this magnitude on an almost perpen dicular precipice hundreds of feet high. Problem* Solved And one does not have to be an expert in such matters to realize that the projection lantern solves the problem and turns the trick. There the tracing is, on the moun tain, as plain as the nose on John Tyler’s face. And when th? photo graph of Mr. Borglum’s clay model of the central group is thrown on the mountain, the figures fit into the tracing as the hand fits into a glove. From where one stands, on the ground by the studio, in which is located the projection lantern, the figures look large, but they do not look stupendous. You have to go to the mountain in, the daytime, when the men are work-: ing on top of General Lee’s hat, and observe what tiny specks they are, to get a full realization of the gigantic magnitude of the figures on the cen tral group. The figure of General Lee in the center of this group is approximately 185 feet in height. This is some what higher than the Candler Buil ding. It is greater in all dimensions than any other sculptured figure of ancient or modern times. It is so stupendous that the mind fails to ‘/rasp its magnitude. “The Lion of Lucerne is a toad in comparison with that group of fig ures,” was Senator Copeland’s terse statement of the contrast between that famous sculptured figure and the work of Mr. Borglum is doing on Stone Mountain.. Monument of Agej All other monuments of history rolled into one furnish no compari son with this supreme conument to the Southern Confederacy. No other monument or aggregation of monu ments can be compared with it in magnitude. No other can be com pared with it from the standpoint of imperishability. A million years of erosion have touched Stone Mountain as lightly as the clouds touch the sky. Geologists estimate that the total wearing away of the surface at the softest spot, if there is a soft spot, does not exceed six inches. The figures carved in full relief in the living granite will stand as long as the mountain stands. They will wear away no faster than the mountin wears away. And if the maximum wearing in a million years has not exceeded six inches at the deepest place, (where rain watei comes down in streams in certain slight depressions), it requires no violent stretch of the imagination to conceive that this “perpetuity in stone" will be standing forth vividly and triumphantly when all other vestiges of the present civilization may have crumbled into dust. Governor Trinkle, of Virginia expressed the thought of the utter imperishability of the Ston? Moun tain Confederate Memroial, in his memorable address on June 18, when the carving was started, in th ■ fol lowing beautiful words. ‘‘How many moons will wax and wane, how many stars sprinkle their silver upon these hilltops, how often will the trumpets of tempest and th? bugles of storm shatter the silence of this mountain of stone? Centuries will be born to die; ag? will follow age down the unending pathway of the years; cities, governments and people will change and p rish—while yet our heroes, carved in stone, will stand on guard, custodians of imper ishable glory, sentinels of tin? \ ‘ When the Pyramids of the Fha rz. hi shall have crumbled; when im perial Rome shall have faded into a mockery of memory; when the Lien of Lucerne shall sleep in dust; when eternity itself shall have snowed its ] years upon us.and the white winter of the world be come—still, cut in to the .face of this mountain will the immortal leaders of the South re main, enduring as the rock of ages.” World Interested So colossal is Gutzon Borglum’s conception of transfoming the face of a mountain into a sculptured bas relief, that his plan has become fam ous throughout the world. The magnitude of the monument has captured the imagination of peo ple everywhere, and the idea of im perishability has appealed very pow erfully to every one contrasting the perishability of all other monuments with the indestructible and perpetual qualities of this supreme monument. The art centers of Europe are dis cussing the memorial with interest and enthusiasm. Yet these aspects of the work at Stone Mountain do not occupy the mind of Mr. Borglum, except inci dentally. The thing that concerns him when he contemplates the plan is that the figures carved on the face of the mountain shall be artis tically correct. He summed up his thought in his recent address to the Georgia Legis lature, when he said: “The magnitude of this memorial means little. It merely means that so much more granite must be remov ed, so much more workmen must be employed, so demonstrating conclu sively the tremendous public interest and wililngness to contribute.” Men Now At Work Actual work was started on June 18 with appropriate ceremonies, in which Governor Trinkle, of Virginia, participated with Governor Hardwick, of Georgia, and other notables. Rob ert E. Lee, the central figure of the i central group, was selected as the, figure which should first be carved. | Since that day a force of men have | been daily at work on the vast pre-; cipice, drilling thousands of holes around the top of General Lee’s hat, and breaking out the granite to make a projection of the figure. It is obvious, of course, that r bas-relief can not be carved on a flat surface. Therefore, it is nec essary to mark out the figure which shall be carved; then to mark off this figure by means of drill holes; then to break out the granite and , keep going back into the mountain until the silhouette stands forth as a projection. This is the work now in progress on the mountain. Tor..-: and tons of granite must be removed around the head alone of this much more money must be expended. The thing that counts is whether we create some thing here which will rank artistical ly with the works of Greece and Italy. The bigness of this memor ial will not save us, alone. Unless the artistic standards of the work are on a par with the best works of Greece or Italy or any other country, we had better not start.” After seven years of waiting because of the World War and circumstan ces consequent thereupon, which made it inadvisable to start the fund, the time at last came when the Stone Mountain Confederate Monumental Assocation considered it opportune to make a beginning. In the past 60 days the associa tion has received voluntary contri butions averaging something more than $2,000 a day, thereby colossal figure of the South’s matchless chief tain. When the projection has been quarried back to the necessary depth, then the carving will begin. Mr. Borglum expects to have the head and shoulders of General Lee completed by the end of the summer. He expects to complete the entire figure within a year. Machinery, in the meantime, will have been placed on the side of the mountain, which will enoromusly ex pedite the progress of breaking out the granite around the figures. This machinery is now under construction in Cleveland, by the Brown Hoisting Machinery Company, and will b- do nated to the association, represent ing a cost of $250,000. Instead of three or four men sus pended by steel cables on the preci pice, drilling holes in the granite, the hoisting machinery will make it possible to place drilling stands of 20 men each against the cliff. And.the faster they do their work, of course, the faster will emerge the projec tions upon which the actual carving will be done. Mr. Borglum estimates that seven years should complete the whole plan, with the aid of the ma chinery, and assuming that the fund shall have been subscribed with suffi cient steadiness and rapdity to keep a full force going. At’present more than half of At lanta’s quota of $250,000 ha.s been subscribed, thus justifying a start. Ail indications point to the speedy raising of the balance of this quota. Then the association will go into other Southern States, including Georgia, to raise the money which they have pledged to give as soon as “Atlanta does her part.” OH, MR. GEORGIA DOLLAR (By W. T. Anderson, in Macon Telegraph) The peach growers around Macon state that the people of this vicinity responded nobly to the suggestion that they should eat peaches, and thus keep Georgia dollars in Geor gia, and at the same time help ta consume thousands of crates of delic ious fruSt that ripened in the or chards and could not be shipped to distant points. In addition to these two features, the Georgians who ate lots of" peaches this summer were building for themselves bodily health reserve upon which to run this win ter. Peaches were shown to contain all the necessary articles for health makng, and the fact that every per son apparently responded to the call to cat six peaches each day made the tremendous losses of ripe peaches heretofore endured by the growers appear almost nil. It was fine, and the helpfulness of the home people is tremendously appreciated. Now% that the peaches are gone, let’s hail the Georgia watermelon! The history of this delicious fruit is that it orginated in Africa—hence the keen relish of the negro for it,, and who can say we do not owe him a great deal for this one blessing? Watermelons are easily grown, and the market is now full of very fine specimens. The lrgest and best that have been seen weigh about 30 pounds each, and after reposing in ?n ice box for about 24 hours, they are so delicious there ought not to be any law against people stealing them, or robbing somebody’s patch or store or house, or even commit ting murder to get one. These melons are red meat right out to the rind, and every particle of the inside is cold, sweet and juicy. There are many growers and sellers of melons that have good specimens in town. People should eat Georgia water melons, especially Georgians, because they are the most delicious fruit to be obtained. Up in the East they sell a round slice of Georgia wate melon for sixty to eighty cents, or about $6 per melon. Surely we. at home, who have all of them we want at twenty-five cents to seventy-five cents for a whole melon should not let a day pass that we don't eat our share. Every cubic inch of space filled by watermelon in our stomachs leaves that much less room for food that is shipped into Georgia—and it is this shipping in that, bleeds us poor. I Now, let’s see what we get out of a watermelon that will build up our bodies and us strong for the coming winter: First and foremost, we need mineral salts. These are found in the body in many places. It is impossible for th? body to func tion without them. That is the rea ’ son so much argument has been made in these columns against taking the bran out of our wheat flour and corn meal—the brans have the mineral salts. Watermelon has mineral &lts. In the blood stream we find salts of iron, calcium, phosphorous, sodium, potassium, magnetism, manganese, sulphur chlorine, and many other compounds. Uncooked foods con tain these things. Calcium is necessary for the mak ing of teeth and bone, and is abso lutely necessary to the coagulation of blood, which is nature’s plan for preventing excessive bleeding in case of a wound. The amount of this cal cium in watermelons is higher than it is in apples, which latter fruit, raw, is one of the best that can be eaten by man. The amount of potassium and phosphorus content in water melons in high enough to be valua ble, and all the vitamines (the spark of life) are contained in the melon. The pulp of cellulose or roughage is valuable, and the large amount of water helps to flush the system. The sugar in the juice is in proper bulk, and, taken into the system in thi* form, satisfies the appetite for sug ar without doing the body the harm that follows eating concentrated sweets in excess. A melon a day will keep the doc tor away—maybe. An Alabama paper says that from now on snakes are dangerous. It is an old saying that snakes go blind in August; but the>y are more ill-tem pered and combative, are more liable to strike, and are fatter, stronger and more venomous then, and through fall, until time for winter hibernation, than at any other time. Look out for snakes! August and, September are both bad months for snak'-s and the early part of October while the hot weather lasts. Snakes are nuisances at all seasons and there is a general idea among conser vative people that “the good snake is the dead snake.”
