    The public uttered the utmost confidence in the ability of the man who is to complete the carving of the Stone Mountain Memorial and the South especially is squarely behind this work. Mr. Lukeman, the sculptor, is a better man for the job than the deposed sculptor. The South is rallying to the sale of the Memorial Coin which depends on the final touches of this lasting memorial. Mr. C. D. Roundtree was appointed to handle coin sales in Johnson and all the County's ladies are fully committed to help in the sale of the coins. This work must be completed while the veterans of the sixties are still with us, at least some of them.
