Monument Unveiled Great Throng Present Stone Mountain, Ga., April The adoration of the nation war lavished today before the urt-atc.it atone carving in h:story, immortalizing the Con- , federate chieftain, Gen. Robert K. Iam, ami those who followed the "loat 1 I'HUhc " Or. the 63rd anniversary of their ; defeat and under grey skies that symbolized the April day in 18<55 when I>e surrendered hi* sword to Gen (.rant and bade hi* scarred velcian* return to their homeu, a yast a**einbly watched the two Hag? drop ! from the mountain aide revealing the I feature* of Ix-e preserved in granite for ali time. After Mayor James J. Walker, of New York City, had accepted the memorial for the nation, little fiveyear old Robert E. U-e, IV, great 1 grandson of the commander, climbed to a railing before the crowd, re- j leased a cage of doves and delighted ly watched them flutter free, symbolizing the states that contributed to make the memorial possible, the doves whirred up alongside the mountain a> a signal for the dropping of the veils. Slowly in the breeze, the curtains, a Hag of the Confederacy, on one hand and the standard of the United States on the other, fell away leav! ing in white relief on the cliff the nearly completed bust of Lee and the outline of his equestrian figure. A mighty cheer rang out and reverberated against the granite walls when the army band began softlyplaying. First came the stirring notes of "Dixie" the war anthem of the Confederacy, and then with every hand at salute or over the heart, the Star Spangled Banner welled from the instruments. "I am proud that I am an American because he was one," Mayor alker had said as he waved his hanu to the monument during his address. Ix-e was the only man in whom God joined the warrior and the saint. I.org after the pyramids have crumbled, his figure, like his memory, will still be here." The mayor's theme was that of the reunited country and the "greatness and power of this nation," recreated following the Civil war. The formal presentation address was by Justice Marcus W. Beck, of the Georgia supreme court, in which Lee was pictured to citizens of both the north and south as "a military chieftain incomparable, the crowning glory '-f Cavalier Virginia, champion of a sacred cause and foremost of the south'^ heroic sons." Georgia Mayor Was Missing For 16 Years Tifton, Gn., April 5.?Samuel M. Hyatt, former mayor of Tifton, missing for 16 years, has returned home after his family had given him up for dead. ( lyatt, who disappeared October - >. 1911, while inspecting his naval stores properties near Valdosta, Ga., came home last night from Florida, but he declined to talk about where he had been since leaving. At first believed to have been a victim of foul play, Clyatt later was reported to have been seen in several towns, but no verification of the reports came to his family. They searched for his body for several months following discovery of some of his clothing near a horse and buggy that he had been using. Attempts to collect $25,000 in life insurance failed when the insurance company became suspicious and employed detectives to investigate the case. Two years before he dropp.-d out of sight, Hyatt - resigned as mayor here to move to Unadilla, Ga. Ho owned extensive properties here and had large naval stores holdings near Valdosta. ( lyatt is 60. He was welcomed here by his aged wife and only son, Jas. J. Clyatt. It was learned that he haj communicated with them recently ' from Florida, where he evidently had j lived for some time.
