...send him a 'possum to go with 'em. And that pleased him. He was tickled. He laughed." ¶President Hoover dotted his last "i's," crossed in his last "t's" in speeches he will deliver this week at Cleveland, Boston. Kings Mountain, N. C. Republican candidates throughout the land hoped hard that these Presidential addresses would help them in their campaigns. ¶Because the president cancelled both his press conferences last week without explanation, newsmen could not ask him what he thought of the fact that the New York G. O. P. had gone solidly...
...much watching as their other six will today but both of them will try out their plays out teams that should not be setups for them. Vermont, the first Stadium visitor, tackles one of the Little Three, Amherst, away from home, while the Springfield gymnasts, who follow the Green Mountain Staters on the Crimson schedule, journey down to the bowels of Pennsylvania to play the coal miners of East Stroudsberg. Army, the team that is the object of every move on the Harvard field those days, has arranged for Boston University to provide the opening opposition and give...
...years, five times as long as General Lee commanded his armies, the battle of Stone Mountain has been waged between Sculptor Borglum, committees, women's clubs, politicians. At the last attempt to obtain a financial accounting from the backers of the memorial, at least $800,000 had been collected from schoolchildren, sentimentalists, and spent.

Then Lukeman, too, washed his hands of Stone Mountain, went north. Three months ago one Will Tuggle, Atlanta Justice of the Peace, attracted attention to Stone Mountain by scaling the back of Traveller and pouring thereon a pail of "colored brick water." The "brickwater" trickled through Traveller, made a large and ugly stain beneath, thereby proving Will Tuggle's premise that a crevice existed which...
Came last week the triumph of Gutzon. In recent months the political fortunes of Boss Randolph have shrivelled. Mayor-elect of Atlanta, new president of the Stone Mountain Memorial Association, is James L. King, fervent Gutzonian. At the earnest request of the chastened members of the S. M. M. A. Borglum returned to Atlanta. Limping, leaning on two canes (result of a sprained ankle caused when a scaffolding on Mount Rushmore collapsed), he bubbled with new plans for Stone Mountain. The Lukeman Lee, Traveller the horse and his brick-water stains, all were to be blasted off. On the residue...
