2 DAUGHTERS OF CONFEDERACY Report of the North Carolina Division at the Richmond Convention. Report of Miss IJda Tunstall Rod* luao, president of the X. C. Division, I’. I>. (\, to the Richmond Convention, November 9th, 1800. Madam President mid United Dhukli ti'rs of the Cunfederacy: l bring you a cordial greeting from tile grand old State of North Carolina. Her record from Mil to ’OS was equalled by f&V r and surpassed by none of that glorious band forming the Confederacy. The hills and valleys of Virginia have been crimsoned with the blood of her sons, lavishly given to uphold the sa cred principles of Truth. Justice and Right; principles that Were so deeply ■written in the hearts of 'her men and avomen from the earliest Colonial days, ♦hat it was not surprising when the wives, mothers, sisters and sweethearts cheered and encouraged those brave fid lows through all Chat fearful time, un til North Caroiina sent more men than fin* had voters to light for the cause she loved, (hie hundred and twenty ihon-s --<i lid men is a record of which we do well to he proud. They bore on their shields the motto of the State, Esse Quam Yideri. to bo rather than to seem, and truly did they show themselves men of peerless deeds. The mother earth of old Virginia being n*» thickly sown with their blood and sacred dust as the ixuirls that bmider the garment of a Queen, as in a precious casket rest their tenderly loved forme, making Virginia a sacred sjxit to us, and it is with a feeling of deep rever ence as well as fraternity, that 1 ten der this report of the year's work ac complished by the North Carolina Daughters of the Confederacy. Capo Fear, the parent chapter of our Division, is enrolled as No. 3. of the Foiled Daughters, and was organized in 181)4. by our loved and esteemed first 1 resident, Mrs. Win, Parsley. During the recent meeting of our State Conven tion she and the revered Mrs. Stonewall Jackson were made honorary presidents for life, of this division. For the past year I bare enjoyed the distinguished honor of being the presi- i dent of the North Carolina Daughters of the Confederacy, and it is with grate ful emotions that I tell you how joyfully our people have responded to the rail of the United Daughters “to care for the living and preserve the memory of our dead Confederate soldiers.” North Carolina was one of the first to establish Memorial Days and Socie ties, and the U. D. C. work is but a continuation, of that, so nobly begun, J when hearts were breaking over the de- ! vastation of a fair land. We have eighteen enrolled chapters with a membership of nearly seven hun dred. this being an increase of eight chapters in the past twelve months, all report good work of which this is a slight resume. ~ Cape Fear Chapter of Wilmington has contributed fifty dollars, with clothing, to the Soldiers’ Home, has put stone markers to the graves of veterans who Lave died since 1898, contributed to the Winnie Davis Monument, also have a History and Relics room with a flue collection of nearly three hundred arti cles. open onee a week. General Lee’s birthday and Memorial Day are always appropriately and beautifully observed by this chapter. To avcM repetition I may say the same is true of each chap ter in North Carolina. Pamlico Chapter of Washington re ports all assessments promptly paid (This is also true of each chapter), twen ty-five dollars sent the .Soldiers* Homo in November last, and a fund of one hundred and fifty dollars In the bank to furnish a convalescents’ room at the Soldiers’ Home, contributed to Wiraile Davis Monument Fund, cared for an old soldier for the past year and paid 3 half of Ins burial expenses, also con tributed clothing to the widow of a ! Confederate veteran. The Washington Grays Chapter Chil ♦lren of the Confederacy, auxiliary to Pamlico, report through their leader, Mrs. Margaret Arthur Call, a member ship of one hundred and ten, the graves of thirty-two soldiers marked, sixty-five dollars in bank: have also bad painted a handsome portrait of the gallant Gen eral Bryan Grimes, which they will present to the North Carolina room in this city. This being the first appear ance of tiie Children of the Confederacy ujMin an occasion of this kind, we trust their tribute to the heroism of a bravi- Confoderate leader will tie warmly wel comed by the U. D. C. The Robert F. Hoke Chapter of Salisbury reports splendid work; supplies and money to the value of one hundred and five dollars were sent to the Sol diers’ Home: sixteen and one-half dol lars for marking graves at W inches ter: one hundred dollars for expenses of veterans to the Charleston Reunion, a J dinner beiniCals ► given them, eoutribu- 1 ted to Winnie Davis, Monument Fund. The Johnstoai - Pett igre W Chanter of Raleigh raised one hundred dollars by a Confederate Tea, the money being given to the Soldiers’ Home, also assisted iu the ]. O'R. Branch Camp in a Oonfed- ; crate Bazar from which was realized ' sixteen hundred dollars for work .among the veterans. The Newborn Chapter in which the Newborn Memorial Society was merged eonriiMies tin* work of marking the graves of soldiers with blocks of stone, gave a dinner July 4th. to over one hundred veterans, contributed to Win nie Davis Monument Fund, sent fifty dollars to Soldiers* Home, used twenty five dollars in charitable work among veterans. The Vance County Chapter of Hen derson entertained tine State Conven tion of C. D. (’.. with elegant hospital ity, ami have contributed both to the Soldiers' Horne and Wiunie Davis Mon- ; ument Fund, have also enclosed a I square in the cemetery for old soldiers j with a sixty -seven dollar granite curb ing. have helped to take care of one old soldier during the yuan. This i-- an energetic and devoted band of women. The .Tames B. Gordon Chapter or Winston-Salem sent ten dollars to tin* Soldiers’ Home. Their efforts arc be ing directed to erecting in that city a monument to the Confederate dead for which they have raised one hundred, ami sixt.v-one dollars. Stonewall Jackson. Chapter of Char- j lotto engaged iu the noble work of edu- i - . eating the worthy daughter of a vete , I ran, contributed eighty-six dollars to I a fund for sending Mecklenburg vete rans to Charleston, also aided the Chil dren of the Confederacy in raising mon ey to purchase a flag for the veterans. The Julia Jackson Chapter Children of the Confederacy, ail auxiliary to the above, led by Mrs. Margaret Branch Sexton, numbering thirty-five little girls, haw contributed ten dollars to the Winchester monument, also raised the money to purchase 'a handsome silk flag for tin* veterans. In tlieir meetings each responds to roll call with an incident of the war. The Winnie 'Davis Chapter at l’itts boro engaged in marking the graves or soldiers. The Statesville Chapter of States ville contributed to Winnie Davis Mon ument Fund, placed stones at the ! graves of twenty-eight soldiers axul are endeavoring to erect a monument to the soldiers of Iredell county. Asheville Chapter and Dodson Ram ! seur of Concord report very good work; Guilford Chapter of Greenslxm> num bering 113, Samuel McDowell Tate of I Morgamton, Singletary of Greenville, Robert IC. Lee of Lexington, Zebulon Baird Vance of Lenoir, and General Geo. Burgwyn. Anderson of Hillsboro have all been organized since May, are full of enthusiasm and promise much ! for the future. j The treasurer. 4;*crotaries, registrar and historian send excellent reports of work in their respective branches. I estimate that for purely memorial and charitable work more than one thousand dollars have been raised ini the past year, not including the sixteen hun dred dollars realized by the Confederate Bazar at Raleigh; but of greater value is the tender sympathy and the rever ence displayed for all that is noble and good in our past. With us. to speak t of the Confederacy is like ringing the j church bells drawing the people togeth | er ns nothing else will, to contemplate something that pus pure and holy, j In the words of .the poet, "A setting sun should leave a track of glory in the skies.” And it is thus that the fair hopes of our fathers which sank to rest on that fatal day at Appomattox have left the sweet premonition of the radiant day now dawning upon: the Southland. An Old Enemy of the South. To the Editor: The. old Confederate is ; not vindictive, die harbors no mere re sentment than sold-respect and patriot ism call for. But when fate overtakes one of his old revilers ami defainer.s— and of late she has lieeu kept pretty busy overtaking them—he hasn’t any less respect for fate. The worst, enemy that, the South ever had was the publishing house of Uan*‘>' and Bro. In tin* days of her sore need it stickled at motiving that could encom pass her destruction. Slanders, villifiea thms, revile incuts. lies as base as tihe devil ever prompted or tongue ever ut tered formed the staple of its discourse where the Smith was concerned. It bred and fostered a clique of authors that poisoned the ear of the world so com pletely against us that if yet largely re mains dead to the truth, | Never since Guttenburg gave the art to the world has printing been put to viler use than in Harper’s Weekly for IH*>! to 1805. That Southern men should have la-on struck at by fair means ami foul was to be expected. But Htuyxr venom stepped not at that. They knew that the flower of Southern civilization was held to he ihir womamihood. If this flower could be shown to be but a chalice for prison what must the branches and roots be. Casting truth and decency to the winds Southern women were held up to the world as beings to which Literc tiu Borgia ivvas a saint. Sober pictures showed them as furies striding over bat tle-fields with cork screws pulling out the eyes of dying Federal soldiers. The whole world shuddered at the thought of Southern women writing on desks invade of the skeletons of the patriotic North ern soldiers, the clmpless and grinning skulls by sonic “devilish ingenuity” being retained as an ornament thereto. Meanwhile they drank from goblets made from Yankee skulls, ate cake from bask ets made of their ribs, adorned them selves with necklaces of their teeth, kept themselves warm with lurs made from their 'beards and scalps, used tilieir flesh less hands for I**ll handles at their doors and in short eoarnnitted every horrible atrocity that the minds of Hnrjier's illus trators could conceive of—and tneir minds ‘were most damnably fertile in such con ceptions. But to give even An barest outline an account of Harper malevolence for what the true 'Southerner hold's as highest and holiest in our past would fill this paper. 1 have given only one illustration of it from which an idea of the rest may be formed. They are a venomous set of South hat ers, those old Harpers or their publica tions belied them. Time has disposed of them, and now grim old punisher that ,te is, lie is dealing hard with the younger gem ration now fonnting the present house of Harper & Bro. Creditors 'have taken possession and henceforward Har per & Bro. will in all probability he merely a name under which Rockefeller will idle up a few more millions. And the old Confederate wlhw is not inudli given to quarelkug with what befalls i won't growl at it. O. W. BLACKNALL. Kittrell, N.

D., Columbus, O.: • It is now seventeen years since I re ceived the first edition of your book entitled “The Ills of Life.” I received it in the -evening mail, and before I retired I read and pondered over every word in the book. I was greatly im pressed with your candor and sincerity. The book left no doubt in my mind as to the remarkable virtues of your Pe-ru-na. It was because of this impression that I resolved I would test your assertions, and test them in away that could leave no doubt. I began prescribing Pe-ru-na, as rec ommended iu your book, and prescribed It precisely as you directed. As you know, the prevailing diseases are in flammations or irritations of the inter nal organs of the body, either of the D. P. Niehart, M.

Since using Pe ru-na, I have never had a patient die from inflammation of the lungs, bladder, bowels,stomach or kidneys. Every case recovered in a very short time. In other 5 Per Cent Gold Bonds.
