Local Committees Were Busy Yesterdsy Receiving the Visitors Mrs. Stone, wall Jackson a Quest Gov. Aycock Arrived Here. Perhaps not before in a score of years has Wilmington had the pleas- are and the honor of entertaining so distinguished and cultured an or ganization in annual convention as that which will assemble this morning at 10 o'clock in the Y. M. C. A. audi- torium the United Daughters of the Confederacy. ' All trains that reached the city yes terday and last evening brought offi cers and delegates from almost every 8tatein the Southland and several from the North, among them being wives and daughters of distinguished heroes in the Civil War, all enthusi astic in the cause and cherishing pleasant anticipations of the forth coming sessions. The reception committee found the list of its duties on the "day before" quite voluminous but withal very pleasant, and other local committees were equally as busy in looking after their respective departments. The delegates have headquarters at The Orton and there each one is re quired to register with the Informa tion Bureau, which is capably man aged by Mrs. R. W. Hicks, with a corps of competent assistants. It is a bright augury for the success of the convention to say that yester day every officer of. the United Daugh ters and many prominent committee members were present upon the arri val of the early trains and at once en tered into active preparations for the sessions to-day. It was also pleasing for the Daughters to note the arrival of Mrs. Stonewall Jackson, of Char lotte,and Governor Charles B. Aycock, of Raleigh. Mrs. Jackson arrived on the noon train and is being enter tained by Mrs. Gabriel Holmes. She will be introduced to the convention after it is formally called to order this morning. Governor Aycock arrived, last evening and is being entertained at the home of Mr. George Rountree. He will make a short address during this morning's session. Mrs. Edwin Gardner Reed, president of the United Daughters, will call the convention to order. She is being enter tained at the home of Mr. T. D. Meares. Mrs. ;M. C. Goodlett, of Nashville, Tenn., honorsry president; Mrs. W.W. Read.of New York, first vice president; Mrs. S. T. McCul lough, of Staunton, Va., second vice president; Mrs. John P. Hickman, of Nashville, secretary, and Mrs. J. Jefferson Thomas, of At lanta, treasurer, are being entertained at The Orton. The morning session to-day will be of a social nature and one altogether pleasant Aside from the addresses of welcome by Mayor Waddell in behalf of the city. Governor Aycock in be half of the State and Mrs. Parsley in behalf of Cape Fear Chapter, Miss Adelia Dunovant, of Houston. Texas, and historian of the Texas Division, will sing "Our Southland," and there will be various other musical selec tions by local talent, including a solo by Miss Mattie Home, who will sing "The Bonnie Blue Flag." Of the musical features of the ses sion none perhaps will afford more pleasure to the convention than the solo by Mrs. E. K. Bryan, "A South ern Girl's Lament." Mrs. Bryan will sing the solo at the suggestion of a number who have a very pleasant remembrance of an incident, in con nection therewith. After the fall of Fort Fisher down the Cape Fear, when Wilmington had been taken possession of by Yankee troops, but before the surrender, and when officers of the different regi ments were quartered in different houses in the city, the hostess of one of them had been heard of as a singer of some note. She was frequently called upon by them to stng for their entertainment.' After repeatedly refus ing to contribute to their social enjoy ment, she finally consented to sing, remarking, however, that having onoe heard her, they would not likely ask her to sing again. She selected the "Jewish Maiden's Lament for her Country." by Eucken, a German com poser, and adapted the words to the condition of the South at that time. It is needless to say that the officers did not request her to sing again. It may be pleasant to recall that Mrs., Bryan is a grand daughter of Maj. John Reilly, officer in command of Fort Caswell, who willingly sur rendered to the Wilmington Light In fantry at the opening of the war and afterwards served gallantly the Con federacy at Fort Fisher. Other features of the morning session will be addresses by Mrs. Weed and Miss .Dunovant. At 3 P. M. the first regular business session will be held and at 9 P. M., the visit ing daughters will be guests of the local chapter at a reception at The Orton.
