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.

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.

REPAID THIS MAN
A DOZEN TIMES
“I have been repaid a dozen times
over in improved health for every
dollar I spent for Tanlac, and the
medicine is still building me up ev
ery day,” is the striking statement
of Joseph DeSarne.
“Tanlac has driven pains from
my body that had troubled me for
ten years. 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.
Tanlac is for sale by all good
druggists. Accept no substitute.
