GREAT MEMORIAL.
Stone Mountain to Be Transformed
Into Monument.

Atlanta, May 20.-The work of
presenting to the South memorial
of the War Between the States, prob
ably unique in design and scope, for
mally was begun at Stone Mountain
here today. The mountain is a solid
block of stone and on it's most
precipitous side will be carved fig
ures nearly forty feet in height and
scenes depicting the civil war. At
the base of the mountain directly un-
der the gigantic figures will be blast
ed out an assembly hall, in which the
reunions of the Daughters of the
Confederacy will be held.
Some years ago the United Daugh-
ters of the Confederacy conceived the
idea of such a monument and enlist
ed the aid of S. E. Venable, who
owns most of the mountain. Part OF
the ceremonies today was the presen-
tation to an officer of the Daughters
of the Confederacy by Mr.. Venable a
deed to that part of the mountain on
which the huge figures will be carv-
ed. 7
While practically all of the memo
rial will be cut out of solid rock, 1t
will be necessary to erect corner
posts. It was the laying of the first
block of one of these posts that oc-
casioned the celebration today. The
principal speakers announced were:
Federal Judge Emery Speer and John
Temple Graves. Jason Borglum, a
sculptor, will have charge of the
work.
The central group of the historical
carvings will be number of eques-
trian figures Of Lee,- Jackson, Forrest,
Johnson, Gordon, Davis and other
heroes of the Confederacy.
These figures will stand about
thirty seven feet, according to Mr..
Borglum. He stated that the horses
would stand twenty-seven feet at the
withers. The group will extend for
a distance of about 5000 feet around
the face of the mountain at height
of slightly less than four hundred
feet above the surrounding country.
The great hall cut at the base OF
the mountain will be one hundred
and eighty feet long and sixty feet
deep. It will have thirteen columns
cut from solid rock, representing
each of the thirteen Confederate
States. In it will be stored archives
and records of the War Between the
States.
It will take about eight years to
complete the work, according to the
sculptor.

The close neighbors were in con-

"Well," said the one, "you haven t
any call to be proud; my fathers
taller than yours!"
''Bet you shilling he ANTI" was
the retort.
'Bet you he u.s." said the first

"Mr. Kilkins, has not an effort
been made to induce you to tell a

"a different story from what I

Mistake in Name.

Mrs. Hill, who had just arrived in
Florida to spend the winter, hired
colored girl to clean the house.
Charity was the girls name.
Mrs. Hill kept Charity busy and in
her usual way told her how she want
ed everything done. She said:
"Now, when you get to the back
porch, you can use the soap and wa
ter freely"
The colored girl looked up very
quickly and said:

''That is my opinion. twenty-five

other lawyer and he charged me S."
"Um. You had no confidence in
him."
"No-no."
'*But you have in me?'
"Y-yes."
"Precisely. Our opinions are the
same but the difference in the cost is
$40, and to have confidence in your

Europe is terrible isn't it?'

WEATHER OF UNUSUAL VIo-
IlENCE LAST NIGHT DOES
GREAT DAMAGE IN ILLINOIS
AND INDIANA

Chicago, Ill,-Northeast gales,
bearing with them rain. sleet, hail
and snow, accompanied in many sec
tions by frequent lightning flashes,
last night swept over portions of In
diana, Illinois, southern Wisconsin
and northern Iowa The storm, which
was of unusual violence cost several
lives. caused many injuries and great
property damage.
In Logansport, Indiana, buildings
were unroofed and .c'ing wreckage
was the cause of one fatality and
many injuries.
Several Illinois cities, among them
kapkakee and Beaversville, suffered
severely while Chicago sustained all
the i'll effects of a blizzard. Not for
twenty years had the waters of Lake
Michigan piled so high against the
Chicago breakwater as today. Wave
after wave, driven by a northeast
gale surged into TIE harbor and up
the Chicago river mouth, against the
piers and shipping, rocking the big
craft like toys
Railroad transportation was delay
ed. street cars held up, wires torn
down and trees unrooted. The worst
of the storm seemed to have gone by
after o'clock this morning.
