FRIDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 6, 1925 Monroe Editor Replies to Critic* o? Memorial Asso.\ Books Audited Monthly, Says Ernest Camp, and No Ground for Chases of Extravagance MONROE, Ga., Nov. 6.—Ernest Camp, Director of Publicity for the ( Stone Mountain Memorial Harvest ! Campaign, and Monroe Editor issued the following statement to the press : today: j In view o£ certain statements ■ made by the retiring President of I the Georgia Division U. D. C., at the recent state convention in Sanders-1 ville, the following facts are set . forth for the benefit of the public:' The Stone Mountain Confederate! Monumental Association holds a I deed to a strip of ground on Stone Mountain 1000 feet wide and ex-1 tending into the mountain approxi mately 1000 feet, the tract compris ing about twenty-eight acres. From time to time statements have been made by uninformed persons that this deed was made to the Daughters of the Confederacy, but this is not the case, as evidenced by a copy of this instrument, now in my posses sion. At the August meeting of the Board of Directors of the Associa-: tion, Mr. Augustus Lukeman, the j sculptor, officially advised that the Association had sufficient space on| the mountain to finish the entire monument, and any statements to the contrary are therefore errone ous. 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 As sociation every two or three months. The Audit Co., of the South is one of the most prominent and reliable, firms of certified public in Atlanta. It has carefully audit j ed the books and accounts of the As- ( eociation every two or three months since 1923 and made its report to the business manager and executive com mittee. I have in my posession copy of a letter from Mr. Chas. J. Metts, pres ident of the Audit Co., of the South in which he says in part: “Since 1923 we have audited the books and accounts of the Stones Mountain Confederate Monumental Associa tion practically every month. We hereby certify that all income of tne Association has been properly ac? counted for and the proper vouchers were found for all disbursements.

In addition to this, in the spring of 1925 he executive committee of the Association employed the firm of Peat, Marwick, Mitcneu & Com pany to make a thorough and ex haustive audit of the Association’s affairs. This is one of the most celebrated auditing concerns in the country. A copy of their report is in my possession and states that ev ery penny of the Association’s funds was properly accounted for. Uninformed persons have also made the charge that the Board ot Directors, the executive committee and the officers have conducted the affairs of the Association in an ex travagant manner. Merwick, Mitch ell & Co., were especially instructed to make careful investigation and if they found any extravagance to report it. They reported that they found none whatever. Some have had the idea that the Daughters of the Confederacy un dertook in the beginning, to con- I struct this great monument to South ! ern valor, but such is not the case. Efforts were made upon several oc casions to get the organization to undertake the movement, but each time it was declined, not for any lack of patriotic zeal or interest, but because they were reluctant to as sume the great responsibility and expense. The report of the retiring presi dent, embodying some of the above answered charges, was endorsed at the recent state convention, although it did not represent the majority sentiment of the Georgia U. D. C. Through their peculiar manner of voting, the Atlanta and Macon chap ters 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 protests from loy ,al delegates from various sections of i the state. ( Following this action the decision ! was made to mail copies of the re- I tiring president’s antagonistic report to the U. D. C„ chapters in other states of the South. Protests against this plan of deliberately going out of the state to place obstacles in he path of the Memorial movement are coming in from every quarter of the I commonwealth, and it is earnestly (hoped that it may be avoided. | The' Fulton U. D. C. chapter, of 'Atlanta, the Henry D. McDaniel i chapter, of Monroe, and the Laura j Rutherford chapter, of Athens, have I met and passed resolutions dissent ing from the action taken at San- I dersville and expressing complete faith in the Association officials. Other chapters in the state are ex pected to take similar action.
