of our lives, not of our mak
ing, that we could just die
over! But don’t ever find your
self a quitter as long as God
sent bis Son to show you the
way, the truth and the life! We
can count many hurts within
our life which seem unsur
mountable. How do we take
them? We must never crawl
within our shell, and pine away
the life GOD has given us, to
live for HIM. Serve HIM every
day, in every possible way.
Work, service to others, and
letting Christ dwell within
our hearts and lives will lead
us to joy in service instead of
self pity, and crying on our
friends shoulders. They have
troubles also, and they sym
pathize with you, but they
would appreciate us more IF
we brought them happiness in
stead of our troubles. Yes, lets
face life as it comes . . take it
for better or worse, and make
of our lives what God would
have us . . we can if we but
reach out and clasp His hand
in ours to guide us, every day,
all the way.
We are afraid of storms and
tornados we watched for them
Monday night . . . the rains
came and bard rains . . . but
look around you today . . it
was not raining rain ... it was
raining daffodils! Our hearts
grieve for the people whose
homes were torn by tornados
in Alabama and elsewhere.
As a past National President
of the United Daughters of the
Confederacy, we pray they will
complete that Memorial to
our Confederate forefathers at
Stone Mountain! These Con
federate Soldiers gave gener
ously of their means to help
establish this great memorial,
as did their children and their
childrens children. Those Vet
erans died with the knowledge
that WE would complete that
। memorial.
And please, left us not call
that Memorial a “Civil War
I Memorial." That conflict was a
WAR BETWEEN THE
i STATES. The States had with
drawn from the Union. They
j formed their own Government,
The Confederate States of
I America. They had their own
, Capitol; their own President,
I own government etc. They
fought THEN for States Rights,
and friends, if we are not mis
taken, that is what we have
। fought for all these years. What
j do you think?
We appeal to our fine young
I Governor! Please see that no
| person sitting in on making
I this decision, as to the kind of
a memorial, is unqualified to
serve! Yes, when this great de
cision is made, we urge you,
to KNOW that each person
- having anything to do with de
, visions be qualified. That they
। be ARTISTS who can visualize
the finished Memorial NOW.
I Sculptors who can FEEL the
I Heart of the South, and the
! MEANING behind honoring the
Confederate Dead, and KNOW
j what the money was raised for
in the beginning. Let’s not for
i get that Confederate Soldier!
I This is the South's one great
memorial. Let it truly repre
sent the SPIRIT OF LOVE in
j which we began this project,
i We are not willing to work for
just a monument of "some
I kind" at Stone Mountain. It
! HAS TO BE a completion of
the Memorial we started! We
| have enough faith in our
Governor, and our State Otfi
cials, and your love and sym
| pathy for our Confederate
! Dead, who were brought to
lock arms with our Union,
when they knew they could
not win. But we do honor them
for standing for what they
thought was just and right, and
even giving their lives for it.
Instead of that great statue
with a broken sword, why not
a beautiful colored fountain at
the base of this great memorial
| with a monument standing
I there tn memory of the women
iof the South, the wives and
THE COVINGTON NEWS
sweethearts of those men. While
those men were fighting the
women were in the fields.
Perhaps a woman or so with
their little children, clutching
their skirts, and even a broken
hoe within their hands . . .
omitting the statue with a tall
man holding a broken sword
in his hands. The women of the
Confederacy fought even a
greater battle at home trying
to feed their children and keep
them alive, then the men at the
front. Many cnildren died,
babies in their arms, because
the cattle were driven away
and killed, and there was no
milk. Yet they wrote cheer
ful letters to the Soldier at the
battle front. We feel a memo
rial to the Women of the Con
federacy, at the base of the
mountain, underneath
the Confederate Memo
rial on the mountain would
be most appropriate. The only
monument to the Women of the
Confederacy is a beautiful
marble building with bronze
doors in Richmond, Virginia,
costing $347,000 dollars, for
which I had the pleasure of
signing the contract, and break
ing ground for, with my com
mittee when I was President-
General U.D.C. This building
today, they say, is valued at
something like $450,000. It
houses many fine articles of
furniture, antiques, relics, and
the finest library on Confeder
ate History in one place, in the
world. This was built by the
U.D.C.
Now is the time for others to
recognize the Women of the
Confederacy, in any addition
al work around Stone Moun
tain, other than the completion
of that Memorial on which the
work was stopped. We are not
willing to see some kind of, or
any other kind of Memorial go
up.
Speaking personally, we do
not believe you will have the
forty States with U.D.C. Chap
ters and Divisions behind this
project if this memorial is not
completed, for we have heard
expressions from them. They
gave ONCE to, and worked
hal'd to get that Memorial
started there and it was never
finished. They COULD fill our
museum with valuable relics.
This Park at Stone Mountain
will be, or can be, one of the
great wonders of the world!
Let us not fail to realize that
people all over the world have
come, and will come to see it,
for they have read “Gone
With The Wind”, and seen the
picture. When they come to the
U. S. they want to see this
place! Let’s not disappoint
them! Let’s finish that promise
to the Confederate Dead!
We heartily agree that this
should be completed as started,
or the part finished be used.
Sure it’s a tremendous under
taking, and it costs money, and
there are easier ways OUT.
But if you have to be commer
cial . . . then let’s not disap
point millions of people, when
they come to see OUR tribute
to the Confederate Dead! Costs
money, is hard job, and trying
one? Well so was the War these
men fought! And it was not to
abolish slavery, it was for
States Righto. The South is
still criticized for being back
ward in “this and that”. We
stand at the near top of the
ladder on far too many things
right now. We have come a
long way, after that war with
burned homes, so many wid
ow’s and helpless orphans . .
with no help then from the
Government, after they went
back into the Union. Slaves
free? Where did they expect
them to go? No homes, no food,
no jobs! They were FREE, and
left to starve. But thanks to
the South they did not starve,
they, worked together. What
did the U.S. Government give
them? Homes. Food, clothes,
jobs? Think that over and do
