They were placed In the Georgia state capitol and there Iny in state, covered with beautiful em blems of love and veneration, where they were viewed by hundreds of d* voted and sorrowing friend*. In the hall of the house of representatives there was assembled a large concourse of people, and eloquent tributes were paid to hla memory. In the after noon thoy were removed to the Central Presbyterian church, where solemn and Impressive funeral services were conducted by the Rev. Drs. Theron H. Rice and Richard Orroo Fllnn, .and, afterward, preceded by a splendid es cort of military organisations, both state and federal, and followed by his gtief-strleken family, old companions In arms, ladles' memorial associations, United Daughters of the Confederacy, Sons of Confederate Veterans, Children of the Confederacy, state, county and city officials, army officer*, and large numbers of devoted friends, were car ried to Oakland cemetery and there leld to rest, near tha Confederate monument, where they will repose until the resurrection.

Atlanta Chapter of United Daughters 'of the Confederacy, and other Confederate veterans and citi zens. nt the state capitol, to celebrate the birth-day of that great chieftain, Robert E. Lee, General Clement A. Evans, General Gordon’* distinguished companion In arms, after eloquent and beautiful words of tribute to him, sug gested that a movement to erect a suitable memorial should be at once Inaugurated. Whereupon, Captain Charles B. Arnall offered a resolution that a committee pf 100 citizens, nam ing them, be appointed to organ ize a Gordon Monument Association, and that an earliest Invitation Is ex tended to the people of Atlanta to meet with them, which was unani mously adopted. On the next day the committee of 100 met In the mayor* reception room and formed the John B. Gordon Monument Association, with W. L. Calhoun aa president. Joseph T. Derry as secretary and Eugene II. Thorton as treasurer. Subsequently, Robert E. Park was elected vice presi dent. An Equestrian Statue. It was unanimously decided that the memorial should be an equestrian statue, a* General Gordon was best re membered as he appeared, on horse, back. A committee ot thirty-five, with the president and other officers, aa ex- officio members, was named, as an executive committee, which should have full charge of the direction and carrying on the business of the asso ciation, with full power to appoint sub committee# which might be necessary to secure funds for tha accomplish ment of tbe purposes of the associa tion. Afterward, n charter was ob mined and on the 26th day of May, 1904, was accepted and the association formally ofganlzed by the appointment ot the some officers and a board of di rectors, jmd commenced work, met of ten, appointed general and special committees, Including many commit tees throughout the Southern states to canvass for subscriptions, and sue-' eroded In securing in cash and sub scriptions about 510,000. Contributions were made not bnly in the South, but some came from the North, and It can truthfully be said In honor of our Southern women that they manifested great Interest In the work.

Asked- For Designs. “Tho association, feeling that there could not possibly be a failure In their work, asked for designs, and In re< sponse to this call, In May, 1(05, six or seven models were furnished and exhibited at the state capitol. Tho committee on design, after careful In spection and consideration, determined to select Solon H. Borglum, of New York, as sculptor, and entered Into a written contract with him to furnish a more satisfactory design upon cer tain terms and conditions therein named. He' at once took up the work and furnished various designs for In spection; but no final actlpn upon them was had by the association and it, recognising the fact that It would take a long time to secure by popular sub scription a fund sufficient to assure a suitable memorial, and that the state of Georgia should aid In this sacred work, resolved to appeal to the legisla ture, which It did, and on the 20th day of August. 19Q6, the general assembly by an almost unanimous vote, passed a bill appropriating 516,000 for an eques trian statue of Gensral John B. Gordon, and providing that Governor Joseph M. Terrell, General Clement A. Evans, Judge Sampson IV. Harris, Captain Robert E. Park, Captain W. Lowndes Calhoun, Captain W. H.

Memories of Gordon. “I can not refrain from saying In con clusion on this occasion, that the mem ories of the great events of the life of John B. Gordon fill my mind. I picture him when at tho call for troops he came through this city, as captain of a com pany of untrained but brave moun taineers, and delivered a patriotic and Eloquent address, made in response'to th* calls of the large assemblage at tho depot; when, afterward, he had risen to higher rank, ho led some ot the bravest and bloodiest assaults made by the glorious army of Northern Vir ginia, and on tho historic May 12, 1864, at Spotsylvania, when General Lee, bo. Ing apprehensive, occasioned by the successful assault made by General Hancock th* night before, rode with uncovered head and face to the front, to the center of the line, evidently re solved to lead In person the desperate charge, General Gordon seized his bri dle and shouted to him; *General Leo, you must go to the rear,' and giving the command, ‘Forward,’ advanced with almost the fury of a cyclone, complete ly routing the enemy and saving the army; when he filled the high office of chief executive of Georgia, with marked ability, and left no stain behind him; when as a senator of the United States from Georgia he'stood like a great bul wark against every effort for the op pression of his people: when, after hie return to private life, he visited almost every portion of this great country as a peacemaker and did much to heal the wounds and assuage the bitterness en gendered by the war between tho states, and last but not least, when. In the midst of the dark horrors of a cruel war, as well ss In the time of the profoundest peace, his mind and heart wore filled with sweet Christian faith and love.
