As President of the Joseph J.
Davis Chapter, 1 herewith enbrail
my report for the year 1905:
lne underlying purpose of Our
organization is to keep forever fresh
the memories of our glorious dead,
to teach posterity somethim? ot
those heroes of our cival war, who.
living, adorned life, and dying, ;
glorified death.
Therefore, the first important
cvmtof the new administration was
the observance on Januarv 19th.
with becoming ceremony, of the
birthday of our great Chieftains, Ias
and Jackson. The Legislature of
North Carolina has done, in recent
years no more seemly or appropri
ate deed, than its solemn enactment
that January 19 be forever a holiday
within its borders, to be observed
with memorial exercises in memory
of our exemplar of manly virtue.
Our Chapter celebrated the oo
casion by having an address from
one of the soldiers who followed
m
General Lee, and thus oould speak
as one who knew Rev. G. 31
Duke. Ilis speech waa the loving
tribute of soldier to his leader, and
gave to those who only knew of
Lee by history and tradition, a bet
ter conception of what he was and
is in the- iife-of the - nation.
Along this same line, and endeav
oring to 'carry out the chief pur
pose of our organization, we have
been bending our . enersjiea t the
task of eraotinc: a monument to
those brave men from Franklin
who gave their lives for their
country's cause.
Our entertainments and bazaar
have had for their ultimate aim thu
glorious purpose. The work is very
slow, as is ever a woman's work,
but the purpose to do this much
for the memory f our beloved
dead is unalterable, and before we
cease our labors, a granite shaft
will tell the world what manner
of man was the Franklin County
Confederate soldier.
In compliance with the requent
of our esteemed State President, I
have organized a Junior Chapter
with an eorollement of 1(5 mem
bers. They bear the name of the
Louisburg Chapter, and stand ready
to set forward as best they can,
the objects of the parent organiza
tion. I am proud to state that with
the exception of possibly a few,
who have not applied for, them, w
have given to every Confederate
veteran in the county whose record
entitled him thereto, a Cross of
Honor.
Oar zeal during the 'past year
has not manifeted itself in giving
generously to public causes, still we
have done something along this
line:
We have paid our state
taxes $ .'J.SO
We have paid our National
taxes 8.S0
To the erection of a Con
federate monument at
Pittsboro we contributed 1.00
To enclose the Qonfederate
Cemetery, at Alton III, -
with an iron railing we
contributed - 2.00
To place a stone in the
. Memorial Arch' to be
' erected at: the Cemetery
