WORK PROGRESSING NICBLT I Man* Under Way For Rapidly Pin ching Great Memorial i Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 5. ? Hollins N. Randolph, president of the Stone Mountain Memorial, on Saturday t|? nued the following progress report to the public; *Since December 10, wbeh work was resumed, twenty thousand cubic feet of granite has been removed from the precipice of Stone Moun tain. The granite removed was from the neck, .shoulder and flank ,of 'Old Traveler,' General Lee'a horse. This part v of the carving has therefore been advanced at a most gratifying rate. "This is an average of about four hundred cubic feet per day eince the work was resumed fifty days ago. The cost per foot has been substan tially less than it ever wa?j in the previous operations, according to the report of the Association's engineers. "Plana hive been perfected to en large the working force on the moun tain in the next thirty days or there about*, so that by March the carving operations should be going in full blast. The carving will be pushed forward with the utmost possible rapidity Until tho central group is finished. "Mr. Lukemun believes the central group can be carved inside of two years. He and Mr. Robert, chafyuan of the board of consulting engineers, h^ve worked out plana for movable platforms embracing practically the entire. carving area, so that operations can be conducted ort' a muximum scale. "As previously announced, the as sociation has raised in cash and fpod pledges an amount sufficient to carve tho'eentral group, thus definitely as suring the first unit of the project." | * Retiring Grand Master Mitchell of | tho Masonic Lodge says that a man ! who doesn't vote becomes h mnn with i out a country.

Dela ware National Guardsmen were forced to resort to tear gas bombs today to protect Harry Uutler, 8) year old negro from a crowd of threatening v-ituens who surged about the court house during his trial on charge* of crimiually assaulting a 12 year old girl. v Three guardsmen and a young woman were overcome by tjhe fumes as the bombs were hurled into the crowd of more than 2,000 persons by members of the Ninety-eighth anti aircraft artillery, who were stationed here untit tonight. After the crowd had been dispersed quiet settled down over the little town and tonight there was no indication of further trouble. Butler, whose trial was started shortly after 10 o'clock this morning, was Convicted by a jury of Sussex county farmers a few minutes after ?4 o'clock*, He was sentenced to be hanged in the yard <of the county jail here Friday, February 26, between 10 and 3 o'clock. Threats had been made against the negro and three companies of Nation al Guardsmen were sent here, to pre vent possible trouble during his trial, and barbed wiire barriers were erected about the court house. Kxpicssion of fear that th$ jury and the court might be influenced by the negro's youth and threats to break through the barriers to gain custody of the prisoner were heard as tho crpwd gathered about the court house. When the crowd surged and pushed against the barbed wire barriers most, of the 24 leaded machine guns erected to guard the court house were con centrated on them. Officers, includ ing tyaj. B. I. Duncan of .Wilmington; who was in direct command of the troops, attempted to persuade the throng to. -leave the vicinjty of the barriers. The more the officers talked the more infuriated the crowd became. Several of the men seized one of the guards and threw him to the ground. These men were arrested but were released tonight. . Immediately after this occurrence, orders were issued to the guardsmen to don gas masks and throw tear gas bohibs. From the roof of the court house the bombs immediately were released, sending the choking fumes up and down the street* Other guards on the ground threw their bombs and in a few minutes the vicinity of the court house with its barbed wired entanglements and breast works Of sand bags, behind which were machine guns, resembled a sector of No Man's Land. ?' The crowd broke, runriing in all directions. Men, women and boys were trampled and some were badly., bruised. A number were affected by ? the fumes. When the gas mists :h?d drifted away, one guardsman was found, lying on the ground and two others groping their way along the court house tern* porarily blinded. The man on the ground was Pri vate E^ugene Smallwood of. Wilming ton, a member of Battery B, who said he did not have a gas mask. After first aid treatment in the court House, officers said his lungs, eyes and heart had been seriously affected. He was taken to Wilmington tonight. The other two guard men were made ill for some time but were out of danger tonight. The young woman affected- by the fumes was Blanche Sirman of Bethel, .Del, a daughter of the Sussex c.ounty recorder of deeds, who was walking past the court house when the bomb ing. started. ' ? The tear gas did not dampen the spirit of the crowd, most of whom Teturned and threatened to dynamite the barriers if they were not per mitted tb enter the court house. ' Fif teen state highway police mingled among the throng, picked out the ring leaders iand ushered them out ? of town. Butler himself was the only defense witness called, lie was represented by two attorneys appointed by the court. With a smile he admitted as saulting the girl. He received the verdict and death sentence without show of emotion. The hanging will be the first in this county in 29 years. Butler's crime was committed Jan uary 21 last. He enticed the girl to take a walk with him and when near ing a woods he struck her on the head with a board. Then he carried her into the woods where he attacked her, stuffed the mouth of the unconscious girl with mud and left her lying in a ditch. The day was bitterly cold. /She was discovered unconscious sev eral hours later by her father. The girl is still in Milford Emer gency hospital with her skull frac tured in seven places. She has severe interna^ injuries and . has lost her ?peech,'%hhough it is said this may be regained. She may lose the sight < 11' -t -v M . ft\' FORD Reduces Prices On Closed Cars '* ... - *. ? . v , . v - - ? V ? ' ' ? ? ? ?' . . ? ? ' ?
