Mrs. Howell
Reads EssayOn
Southern Music
Mrs. Andrew J. Howell’s read
ing of an essay on Southern npusic
highlighted Wednesday’s meeting
of the Cape Fear Chapter, No. 3,
United Daughters of the Confed
eracy, which was held in the
Ladies parlor of the First Presby
terian church.
Mrs. Howell, who was once a
student at Salem college in Win
ston Salem, said that she could
remember the Moravian ladies
who played on an old spinet—the
same, she added, that had been
used to entertain George Wash
ington. In a more humorous vein,
she added when the Moravian
ladies were not keeping General
Washington in church, they were
playing the spinet for him, using
the same songs that they use to
day.
As for the favorite music of the
south—“Dixie” and the songs of
Stephen Foster—they were written
by men from the North, Mrs.
Howell said.
During the Civil war, she added,
"Maryland My Maryland,” “Lo
rena,” and “Bonnie Blue Flag”
were very popular. For singing
the latter song in New Orleans
following the Civil War, General
Butler, the Northern general But
ler, ruling New Orleans, fined all
citizens $25.
Hymns, Mrs. Howell said, were
sung by both armies during the
Civil War. The Southern soldiers
would start singing around the
campfire, and the Yankees would
soon join in.
Mrs. Howell praised Sidney
Lanier, Georgia’s poet, as being
the most inspired flutist this coun
try has ever produced.
Following the program, dele
gates to the Warsaw conference
Tuesday gave their reports. Those
reporting included Mrs. Charles
Lee Bragg, Mrs. Charles A. St.
Amand. Mrs. J. S. Crowley, and
Mrs. Addison Hewlett.
Plans for Confederate Memorial
day, May 11 were completed.
Sunday Night
Dinner Planned

night dinner, held weekly at the
Cape Fear Country club, the Ladies
House committee has announced

be the only suppers served on
Sunday before the summer season,
