Greensboro reports judge advocate Victor G. McAdoo says sculptor Gutzon Borglum will resume work on the Stone Mountain Confederate memorial near Greensboro. The note confirms plans for renewed carving activity at the site.
The article notes Borglum began the unfinished Stone Mountain memorial in 1916 and left nine years later after a dispute with the Stone Mountain Memorial Association. McAdoo, quoted by the Record, said funds for completion were practically assured, and Borglum had re employment support without financial obligation.
In Columbia South Carolina Judge A W Holman presided over a suit between B McMaster and W D Wilkinson over Colonel's Canal fishing rights. McMaster valued rock bass at 1 000 000 while Wilkinson claimed ownership only over half the stream. The judge posed a legal question about a fish leaping sides and the case settled. McMaster exchanged four acres for four acres along the canal bank.
The 69 year old craftsman died before completion and his son, also a sculptor, would finish the work. It would take 12 months to model before carving the large depictions of General Lee Stonewall Jackson and other Confederate leaders could begin. Funds would come from a WPA allocation and Stone Mountain Memorial coin sales. McAdoo estimated the total needed at 3 million dollars.
