Atlanta. j EDITORIALS s The U. D. C. and i the Memorial— This week delegates will meet at Sanderville for the state con vention of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. At that con vention an effort will be made to pass a resolution declaring that the members of the U. D. C.. or the organization as a whole, will not support the sale of Stone! Mountain coins unless the direc-, tors of the Stone Mountain asso ciation reinstate Gutzon Borglum. I Our authority for the above I statement is Ernest Camp, editor of the Walton Tribune and pub-1 licity director of the Harvest cam-. paign to complete Georgia s quota < in the sale of coins In a personal letter to the editor of The Times-Reccrder Mr. Camp says in part: Information has come to me that ' an effort will be made tit the forthcoming convention of the Georgia division of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, to be held in a few days nt Sanders ville, to have the convention pass a resolution endorsing the position taken by Mrs. Grace, president of the Georgia division, in reference to the Stone Mountain Confederate Memorial and the Confederate Me morial half-dollar coinage. Mrs. Grace demanded the recall and reinstatement of the former sculptor, Mr. Borglum, virtually as 1 a condition necessary to obtain her support of the enterprise. H'er 1 views are set forth at length in the board of directors of the associa tion and she was voted down by a ' large majority. ‘ As a result of uiis, wirs. Grace ' instructed the Georgia division of ‘ the U. D. C. to stop the payment ( of their pledges to the Memorial association, (where chapters had made pledges), and instructed , them to have nothing to do with the sale of Confederate Memorial half-dollars. These are the in structions which an effort will be made to have the convention con firm and ratify at Sandersville, ac cording to my information. In 'bther words, the United Daughters of the Confederacy of Georgia will be asked to go on record as refusing to support the memorial and refusing to have any thing to do with the coinage unless and until the former sculptor is recalled and reinstated in charge of the work. They will be asked to declare that they are more interest ed in the personal fortunes of Borglum than they are in the suc cess of the monument. They will be asked to repudiate an act of Congress bestowing upon the sol diers of the Confederacy a decora tion of valor without a precedent in American history unless Borg lum is brought back and crowned with glory. It is inconceivable that the Geor gia U. D. C. wil adopt such an at titude. The affairs of the Memo rial are in charge of a board of directors composed of about seven ty-five Georgians in whom our peo ple, in my judment, have every confidence. Outside of Georgia, the board is composed of the gov ernor and one or more prominent citizens of every Southern State, and outside of the South the other sections of the country are repre sented by American of national prominence. The new sculptor se lected by the association, Mr. Luke man, has produced a wonderful de sign which has been received with enthusiastic praise on every hand, especially among the command ing generals of the United Confed erate Veterans. His design and general fitness as a sculptor are strongly endorsed by artists and coinnoisseurs of art of New York and Washington, where campaigns are in progress to sell upwards of 500,000 coins. The sale of the South’s allotment of 2,500,000 coins is in charge of the governors of the Southern States, under whose direction the Harvest campaign” is go'ng ahead in fine shape from Virginia to Texas. In all particulars the Me morial as an enterprise is on a solid foundation and is moving forward harmoniously and success fully towards a future which seems to me to be filled with the brightest promise. It would be extremely unfortu nate at this juncture to have dis harmony created by the U. D. C. of our States. As a Georgian, I am extremely anxious to see this project carried through to success. A THOUGHT Let the wicked forsake his way I and the unrighteous man his ; thoughts.— Isa. 55:7. * * * It is no sin to be tempted; the wickedness lies in being overcome. Blaze. 1 have every confidence in the 1 ability, integrity and patriotism I of the board of directors and the , officers, all of whom are serving | without pay or compensation of any sort. I believe the monu ment when completed will do more for our State than anything- else we can imagine, because it will I bring hen an endless procession i of humanity during the balance of time. , We cannot believe that Mr. I Camp has been correctly inform-, ied such a thing as declaring! ■ that Borglum or Mrs. Grace or! , any other man or woman, in ) Georgia or out of Georgia, is i I more important than this monu-! I ment is unthinkable. Os all the organizations in the world, the Daughters of the Confederacy would be the last to be so mis lead. We cannot believe such a. thing can be put over. Ihe I imes-Recorder strongly opposed the dsimissal of Borglum. It waged its fight to the last, but once ;hat question was settled— and it is a settled question—the 1 imes-Recorder joined the ranks of those who thought differently and has si<ce done its utmost to aid in the completion of this sub lime memorial to the bravest and finest and most devoted body of i men who ever shouldered a mus-' ket. Georgia and the Old Vets mean more to us than all the Borglums —or the Lukemans, for that matter on the gobe. Since 1865 the dark days,, the hungry days, the days of sorrow and hardships —the women of the South have fought and fought diligently in the restoration of the South and in perpetuating the memory of those who gave all on the altar of the Confederates States of America. 1 he lead was taken by the daugh ters and wives and sisters of the Confederacy. Our women start ed before an organization was formed, and after its organiza tion our mothers sisters and wives have worked for the Old Soldiers under the banner of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. The accomplishments of this or ganization marks it as the one oustanding body of women in the South. After these years of devo tion to their State and their South and the heroes of the Sixties, are our good women to be mislead? Is this unblemished record to be forgotten for the time being and personalities allowed to cloud their eyes? Frankly, we do not believe they will. Life is a battle of give andj take. We cannot always have our way. After a good fight, when' we should forget the past get , back into line. The Stone Mountain Memorial! will be built. It will be complet ed, with or without the aid of the U. D. C. No action they can take will stop the work nor will any resolution passed in a Georgia gia convention or a national con vention cause the dismissal of Lukemann. If Mr. Lukemann' were to resign or quit for any rea- 1 son he would not be succeeded j by Borglum. Right or wrong, the die has been cast and those of us' who thought differently from oth- 1 ers must get in and help or stay out and hinder. Which s the more important,; Borglum or the Memorial? Which would we rather honor, Borglum or our Sainted Dead sleeping in the fields of Dixie? That’s the question which each individual woman—and man—must answer for himself. Put feelings aside, good wom en, and let conscience guide you. This writer believes the U- D. C.’s will be found fighting for the memorial. «y * ¥ Movie star starts divorce suit be cause she threw an iron at him, which is a new way of pressing a suit.

I Another branch of the orzaniza- I tion is claimed to have passed a ■ resolution indorsing the Third In etrnationale, and that Internation- ' ale, in Moscow, is understood to have passed resolutions which, if ■ done in America, would be illegal) here. i So, under the “criminal syndical- I ism” law of California, Miss Whit ney was convicted of membership in an illegal organization and sentenced ■ to from one to 14 years in the peni , tentiary. A lot of friendless "bums” i were sentenced about the same time, and are now serving time in prison. Miss Whitney, having wealth and s influence, carried her case from • court to court, but now, by the re fusal of the supreme court to ac cept jurisdiction, her last resort is • gone, and she, too, is to go to prison, i for crimes which she did not commit nor advocate but which had been ad vocated by an organization related i to another organization, which, in ■ turn, had relations to an orfianiza tion to which she belonged, but in which she had opposed these doc- i trines. 1 The patty itself went out of exis- THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER Mr. Frank Marsh with the Sea s board Rail Way at Dawson, spent ! yesterday in Americus.

THIRTY YEARS AGO TODAY. i (From The Times Recorder, OCt. 26, 1895) Will Dudly, Americus’ champion wheelman, left yesterday for Albany, ! to enter the races there in the after ! noon. If he fails to capture the 1 prizes his admirers will be greatly ! surprised and disappointed. Mr and Mrs. E. D. Ansley return- I ed yesterday from Atlanta, where i they have been since Monday view- I ing the sights of the Exposition. Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Bagley have I returned from Atlanta wher e they were the guest of Mr. and Mrs. H. Clay Bagley at thei r home on Peachtree Street. Mrs. J. C.

Quite a number of them accompanied by friends left yester ' day afternoon. tence a few days later, but anybody who once enrolled in it is a criminal, and several of them are in prison. Miss Whitney, as the only conspic uous one, may succeed in making the injustice of it also conspicuous. SURVIVALS OF WAR PSYCHOLOGY There are such laws in a number of states. They are survivals of war psychology. Under them, men who neither committed, incited nor be lieved in violence are imprisoned for the beliefs or acts of others. Every one of these prisoners re gards himself, rightly or wrongly, as a martyr, and is so regarded by his fellows. The imprisonment does less than no good in discouraging the propa ganda of vicious doctrines, and it does give revolutionists a “talking point” in their argument that demo cratic institutions do not protect free speech. , LITTLE CHANCE FOR DAWES VICTORY Doubtless nothing will be done at the next session of the Senate to carry out Vice President Wawes’ plan for thereform of the Senate yules. Senators do not want to refirm them; still less to be driven to do so by a mere vice president. But the fact that Senator Underwood will in troduce a resolution for them guar antees at least a hearing and a dis cussion. And that, in the long run, is enough. Darkness does not have to be driven out by light. The mere pres ence of light negatives darkness. And the ways of Senate procedure are dark. One discussion may not cure them. But it will make their permanent retention impossible. Los Angeles man left SIO,OOO to a girl who refused to marry him.

Besides backache, which almost killed me at times, I had rheumatic pain and swelling in my hands and legs, my circulation was poor, feet always cold, nerves un done, my stomach didn’t feel right, I had regular headaches and I was a discouraged man. “I have never seen the equal of Tanlac in my life. It has more than doubled my appetite, my stom ach feels great and my general health is so improved that I can not praise Tanlac enough for what it has done and is still doing for me.” What Tanlac has done for others, it can do for you.
