Atlanta. Ga, May 20. 0.-The work of presenting to the South memorial of the war between the States, unique in design and scope, formally was begun today at Stone Mountain near here. The mountain is a solid block of stone, and on one of it's most precipitous peaks will be carved figures nearly 40 feet in height of the South's heroes and scenes depicting the great war. At the base of the mountain will be carved an assembly hall.
 Some years ago the United Daughters of the Confederacy conceived the idea of such a monument, and enlisted the aid of s. E. Venable, who owns the mountain. Part of the cere- mory today was the presentation of the officers of the United Daughters organization by MT. Venable of that part of the mountain on which the huge figures will be carved.
 Federal Judge Speer and John Temple Graves were among the speakers. Gutson Borglum, the sculptor, will have charge of the work.
 The central group of the his carvings will be equestrian figures Lee, Jackson, Forest, Johnston, Gordon, Davis and other heroes of the Confederacy. These figures will stand about 37 feet high, according to Mir. Borglum. The group will extend 1000 feet around the face of the mountain and 400 feet above the surrounding country. The hal cut at the base of the mountain will be 180 feet long and 50 fee, deep. It will have Is colums cut from solid rock, representing the 13 Confederate States.
 It will require about eight years to complete the work.
