How the Mountain Monument Will |

lnvites comparison with colossal rock monu

pear that there Is good reason for clatm
ing that the Stone Mountain project is more
colossal, more artistic, more Impressive and
more Seautiful than any of them. It sur
passes in the colossal nature of the labor
involved such ancient mobuments as the
Sphinx, while it sat the same time a
modern realistic work of art, expressive of
the struggles of & democracy.
King Durius, the great Perstan monarch
who ended the wicked career of Belshazsar
of Babylon and permitted the Jows 1o re
build their temple, understood the majesty
of a picture sculptured on the mountaln side.
