TOR MUSI
REPLACE SHAFT
Grief in DeKalb County
Over Breaking of the
Monument.
"The monument's broken!"
Prom mouth to mouth this news
spread from one end of Dekalb county
to the other Tuesday, bringing genuine
sorrow and regret. The fall and de
struction of the 20-foot marble shaft,
just as It waa about to be lifted Into
place In the court house square. Is the
most sensational thing that has hap
pened In quiet Decatur since the sup
posed mob made a supposed attempt to
storm the jail over a year ago.
People who had helped to raise the
money for the monument to enmmemo-,
rate the valor of the Confederate dead
of DeKalb came from far and near to
lew the shaft, which was to have been
unveiled before a great crowd Snturday.
but now lies broken In half at the foot
of the base upon n hich It was to stand.
Several months must elapse before a
new shaft can be made.' The DeKalb
County Memorial Association, which
had the monument In’charge, will not
loee, as the contractors guaranteed to
deliver it erected. However, the delay
waa a great disappointment to the citi
zens of Decatur and DeKalb county,
who were preparing for a great occa
sion Saturday, when the monument was
to have been unveiled.
The exercises are postponed Indefi
nitely.
The snapping of a rope la said to have
been responsible for the accident. The
base and die had been put In place and
all that remained to be done was to set
up the slim shaft. By means of a der
rick thq piece of marble was being
raised, when there was a snap, a thud
that was heard for blocks around, and
the shaft lay In two pieces on the
ground.
