Jefferson Davis Monument Association Deletates Continue to Arrive Re ception at the Orton General Notes of the Gathering. The United Daughters of the Con federacy, the most representative body of the South' womanhood that ever gathered in Wilmington, assem bled in its eighth annual convention in the Y. M. O. A. auditorium, this city, yesterday moraine at 10:40 o'clock, Mrs. Edwin Gardner Weed, of Jacksonville, Fla., presiding, and more than 200 delegates and visitors, representing every Southern State, and many of the North, being in at tendance. Two sessions were held during the day, one in the morning, at which the Daughters were formally welcomed as guests of Cape Fear Chapter, of this city, as guests of Wilmington and as guests of the State,' and another in the afternoon, which was principally taken up in the matter of arranging credentials. The convention was formally called to order by Mrs. Weed, who expressed pleasure at having the eighth annual meeting in Wilmington and at the very creditable number of representatives present. This was followed by the rendition of "Our Southland," a com position of Miss Dunnovant, of Texas, by the following, ladies of Wilming ton, Mrs. A. M. Waddell presiding at the organ: Mesdames Bryan, Watters, Smith. Waddell, Carmichael, Misses Hart, Foster, Adrian and Home. The entire convention joined in the chorus with splendid effect. Avery fervent " prayer was offered by the Rev. Dr. James Carmichael, rector of SL John's Episcopal church, of Wilmington, and then, followed one of the most pleasing incidents of the .session. Mrs. Cornelia B. Stone, of Galveston, presented to the United Daughters in behalf of Mrs. Mollie MacGill Rosenberg, president of the Jefferson Chapter, of Galveston, a beautiful silk flag designed from the first one adopted by the Confederacy, as . a memorial to her fatner ana mother. Dr. Charles MacGill and Mrs. Ragan MacGill, of Maryland. The staff of the banner was surmounted by a Maltese cross, the emblem of Maryland, the native State of Dr. and Mrs. MacGill. It was received by Mrs. Weed, the president, in words very appropriate and highly befitting the beautiful sentiment which prompt ed the gift Another very pleasing incident took place also at this juncture, when Mrs. Weed formally introduced to the con vention Mrs. Stonewall Jackson, of Charlotte, who is the guest of Mrs. Gabriel Holmes. Mrs. Jackson was received with the wildest demonstra tion of enthusiasm and applause, the convention rising' to its feet and a contingent of veterans in the room shouting with hearty good cheer the rebel yell, so famous in history and so discordant to their foe in battle. Mrs. Jackson gracefully acknowledged the honor and expressed pleasure at being present upon the occasion. This was followed by a very cordial welcome address by Mrs. W. M. Pars ley, president of Cape Fear Chapter of this city, who expressed great pleasure at having the Daughters to hold their convention in Wilmington. A male quartette, compossed of Messrs. Cooper, Banks, Williams and Holden. with Mr. EL H. Munson as accompanist, then sang "My Old Kentucky Home," which was re ceived with applause. CoL A. M. Waddell, mayor of Wil mington, then welcomed the daugh ters to the city in one of his charac teristic happy speeches, which is pub lished in another column. . Mrs. Weed made the response in be Jialf of the visiting daughters in most happy manner, and expressed great pleasure in being with the people of Wilmington for the convention. Her address was couched in pretty lan guage and was most fitting in reply to the words of welcome so elegantly expressed by Mrs. Parsley and Col. Waddell. Just prior to Mrs. Weed's address, Mrs. EL K. Bryan, of this city, was introduced as a grand daughter of the distinguished Confederate, Maj. James Reilly, and she sang with great effect and much sweetness, "A Southern -Girl's Lament" with piano accompani ment bv Mrs. Waddell. Th aHrAca was followed by a de lightful rendition of "Annie Laurie"by a double quartette consisting ol Mes dames BrjaD.Smith, Watters, Waddell, Carmichael; Misses Hart, Foster and Adrian. Upon the conclusion of this number, Miss Mary F. Meares. of Wilmington, corresponding secretary of the U. D. C, introduced North Carolina's dis tinguished Governor Chas. B. Aycock, who responded in a happy speech in which he said it was an unex wtnl dAliirh't for him to address the Daughters but he welcomed them to the "Old North State" and among a neoDle who were loyal to the Con federacy and the sentiment which actuated the distinguished body be fore him. Governor Aycock'g speech was in an exceedingly happy rein and was received with great attention and much Ttleasure by the convention. One of the most inspiring musical numbers on the excellently prepared the "Bonnie Blue Flag," which Was charmingly rend ered by Miss Horne, of Wilmington, who was in splendid voice and sung to great effect and with much spirit The last address of the morning was an excellent one, and by one of the most gifted and most active members of the U. D. C Miss Adelia A. Dunnovant, historian of the Texas Division. Her subject was "Princi ples in Their Relation to Human Ac tion," and her address as a whole was an able defence of the secession of the States from the Union. Is was well received by the conven tion and was concluded amid much applause. Just before the close of the session Mrs. W. H. Overman, president of the North Carolina Division, was present ed and made a few remarks which were received with applause and as a cordial greeting from the State she so ably represents. A number of announcements were then read by Miss Meares, among the number beingn invitaton from the Colonial Dames to visit their rooms in the Masonic Temple and from the Elks extending the courte sies of their Temple to the visitors. The Afternoon Business Session. It was expected that the convention would be organized for business at tbe afternoon session, which was called to order by the president at 8:30 o'clock, but such was not the case. A number of Divisions were tardy in pre senting their credentials to the com mittee and a controversy arose among several of the delegations as to the representation to which they were entitled by number of members in convention. A discussion as 10 the merits of the several controversies whiled away the entire afternoon and the convention at length adjourned to receive the full report of the Creden tials Committee this morning at 9:80 o'clock. Davis Monument Asssclation. One of the principal matters to en gage the sessions to-day is a report from the Jefferson Davis Monument Association, of which Mrs. Norman V. Randolph, of Richmond, is secretary. The Association has now legally be come an organization of the U. D.

At a meeting of the association yes terday afternoon the election of the officers was confirmed, and reports were heard from each State. They were all encouraging, and members promised faithful work during the en suing year. The amount already in hand is about $38,000, and the asso ciation' hopes to raise $75,000. The central committee, which has a large part of the immediate work to accom plish, is composed of Mrs. Randolph (chairman), Mrs. Taylor and Mrs. B. A. Blenner, all of Richmond. At the convention to-day each one of the States will be asked .to name an artist to make a design for the monu ment. Another meeting of the commit tee will be held at 9 o'clock this morn ing for the purpose of arranging pre liminaries prior to the meeting of the convention balfn hour later.

President of the General Convention, in Choice Diction, Replied to Greetings From the Cape Pesr Wilming ton and the South. Among the splendid addresses de livered yesterday upon the opening of the eighth annual convention of the United Daughters of the Confed eracy in this city, none wss received with more marked, attention or greet ed with warmer applause than that of Col. A. M. Waddell in welcoming the Daughters to Wilmington and that of Mrs. Edwin Gardner Weed, president of the U. D. C, in response. The addresses were as follows: "Madame President and Ladies I esteem it an honor and a privilege to welcome you, on behalf of the good people of Wilmington, to the hospi talities of this city. "xouareon ground as historic as any in - America, although, by a strange fate, the facts which make it so have been generally unknown to tbe people or the othr states. Among these facts, which have long been es tablished beyond the possibility of controversy, are these: " Sixteen miles below Wilmington on the West bank of the Cape Fear river where the ruins of St. Philip's Church 8 till stand on the site of the colonial town of Brunswick, the first armed resistance to British oppression on this continent occurred on the 28th November, 1765, when the Stamp Act was killed by men with 'guns in their hands This was more than ten years before the Revolution, and nine years before the Boston Tea Party. ' Eighteen miles above Wilmington the first victory of the American Rev olution, (and a most important one) was won at Moore's Ureek Bridge on the 27th February, 1776. And yet a year ago when an appropriation was asked from Congress to commemorate tbe event, so distinguished a New Eng lander as Senator Hoar of Massachu setts, declared that he had never so much as heard of Moore's Creek Bridge. "Twenty miles below Wilmington. on the opposite side of the river from Old Brunswick, and just one hundred years after the Stamp Act affair there, the most terrific bombardment since the invention of gunpowder occurred when Fort Fisher fell, and the last hope of the Confederacy perished. I myself heard an English naval officer, who was at the siege of eebastopol and also at Fort Fisher, say that the artil lery fire at 8ebastopol was the greatest in the history of the world up to that time, but that it was child's play com pared to Fort Fisher. "1 might continue tne recital oi nis torioal events which have occurred in this vicinity, but will not trespass upon your patience and upon the brief time allotted to us for the performance of this pleasant duty by doing so. Rather let us utter a few thoughts which your presence here and tbe name of your organization suggest "As one who bore an humble part in the military service of the Confed eracy I reverently salute you the wives, and sisters, and daughters of my comrades, the noblest army of heroines and patriots that ever trod the earth. As a North Carolinian I greet you with honest pride in the fact (which is sometimes forgotten) that North Carolina, although but one of eleven seceding States and by no means the largest of them, contributed about one-fifth of the soldiers of the Confederate army that she lost about one-fourth of those killed in battle, more than one fourth of those who died of wounds, and one-third of those who died of disease that one of her regiments bore the flag farthest into the enemy's territory; that one of her sons commanded the only ship that carried it around the world, and that when the end came, both at Appomat tox and at Greensboro, she stacked more rifles than any. other State of the Confederacy. We, therefore, have certainly as much interest in every thing pertaining to the Confederacy as others, and may claim it without injustice to them or to the truth of history. "Your organization is unique in human annals, as was the struggle whose memories you seek to preserve. The dreamer and sentimentalist may fold his hands, and, with a sigh ex claim that History will do justice be tween the parties to that struggle, but experience has shown that History, like Providence, helps those only who help themselves, and will honor only those who help her to record the truth. There is not one of you who will not readily admit that if the Southern people had remained silent And had used no printer's ink after the war, they would have been pilloried in history as rebels and traitors -who had, causelessly and without the shadow of excuse, drench ed the the land with the blood of un offending patriots. But the Southern people did not remain silent ; they pub lished in a thousand forms the truth, both as to the causes which impelled them to assert their rights, and as to the battles in which they maintain ed them, and have thus made a partial unjust and one-sided history imposs ible. In this work the Memorial As sociation first, and after them the United Daughters of the Confederay, have been most helpful and devoted. and they may justly claim a large share of the credit for successfully vin dicating before the world the cause in which their Southern countrymen en gaged, and in which thousands of them sacrificed their lives. "In pursuance of this work you have honored this city by your pres ence, and therefore you are doubly welcome to the hearts and homes of our people. You can find no coinmu nity in which the memories of the Confederacy are more tenderly cher ished, or in which the heroic achieve ments of the Confederate soldiers are more proudly remembered, than this; - and no community, therefore, where your labors will meet with more cor dial co operations or more sincere and heartfelt sympathy. Here and there in the South may be found one who will question the wisdom of preserving an organization like yours, but be will not be found to be one of those - who. followed the conquered banner or heard the ringing of the guns. Every true soldier is always ready to uncover 1 1 . , . Al . ueaa ana neart in tne presence oi such unswerving constancy and de votion as yours. Would that Ixould frame a fitting tribute to it but the attempt would be vain. It has been the theme of countless tongues more Star U, 1901. eloquent than mine, but still, like the heavenly realm from which it draws its inspiration, its true beauties are beyond the power of tongue or pen to tell. "I trust ladies, that your delibera tions may be entirely harmonious and may result in the advancement of the interests you have in charge, that you may find your stay in Wilmington in every way agreeable, and may carry away with you only pleasant recol lections of your visit to this little city by the sea. And now again in behalf of our people I bid you a hearty wel come and an earnest God speed in your pious work." Mrs. Weed said in reply : "We. the United Daughters of the Confederacy, delegates and visiting members, thank you for your cordial words of welcome. We are an over whelmingly large body to take posses sion of your beautiful city, but we come in love and well assured of the hospitality that never fails. In the homes of North Carolina, from time immemorial, the stranger within the gates has ever been the honored and fa vored guest It was that lovely home life in the history of the Old South, where kindness was tbe law of the household, and where lessons of love and tender ness and honesty and courage were the daily teachings that made our men the heroes and giants of the great four years' struggle. From these homes of North Carolina came the men who made for her this glorious record. . The first at Bethel, tbe last at Appomattox. You all know tbe story, but we glory in it and love to tell it. In the great charge at Balak- lava, at which Tennyson said 'all the world wondered,' England lost 37& per cent of her men ; in the charge of the North Carolina division at Gettys burg, 85 per cent, of her men were left upon the field of battle. It was the home life in the old North State that gave these men the courage to do and dare all for the principles they had learned at their mother's side. To tnese homes we have come thankfully, accepting your gracious invitation. The same law of loving kindness rules the home life, and so the past and present are graciously linked in charming hospi tality. We. the women of the ooutb, the United Daughters of tbe Confed eracy, with a grateful appreciation of tbat hospitality, and a realizing sense of the courtesy and cordiality extend ed to us, would thank each one of the charming entertainers to whom we are so indebted. To each one, your gallant Governor, and Mayor, your charming women and brave men. we would express tbe gratitude and ap preciation we feel for all you have done for us. Time can never-take from us the pleasant memories of Wilming ton and her people." "BLIND TOM" TO-NIGHT- Eminent Colored Plsnist Will Be Seen at the Opera House.
