2 WON 6Y MRS, WINDER The Daughters Kay Tribute to Her tloquence. Rous-.'d lo a Grea Display of Enthusiasm at the R union Held in N w Orleans. During the meeting of the Daughters of the Confederacy in New Orleans at their great annual reunion there occur red a scene of great enthusiam. whose central figure was a gifted North Caro lina woman, who though living now in a Northern State, is always proud to be known as a Southern woman, and a North Carolinian, one who wherever she is, is always foremost in praise of her native State. This is Mrs. Florence Tucker Winder, known and loved in Raleigh and the State. Now a resident with her hus band, Mr. J. H. Winder, in Columbus, Ohio, she has taken a leading part in work for the Daughters of the Confed eracy. and last year was president of the R. E. Dee Chapter at Columbus. One term is all that can be served, but Mrs. Winder has been promoted to the position of vice-president of the State Division, and in company with Mrs. Thomas Worcester, the president, and other delegates, attended the great meet ing, and added to the pride which this State has in her. Here Mrs. Winder made a most elo quent speech that aroused the convention to splendid enthusiasm. Mrs. Worcester, who is a charming woman, and who has done magnificent work for the Daugh ters in Ohio, after making her report, graciously presented Mrs. Winder to the convention. These two ladies were the central figures of the day and the New Orleans Picayune, in its account of the meeting, in big headlines, credits them with this, and beneath their pictures says that their “reports roused the Daughters to a remarkable display of enthusiasm.” When the report from Ohio was called for Mrs. Worcester first spoke, and then she and the President of the convention, Mrs. Rounsaville,presented Mrs. finder, who, in the words of the Picayune, “proved herself one of the most eloquent speakers who ever addressed a New Or leans audience.” It was a distinguished honor conferred on her, and continuing, the report says: “She was a daughter of the ‘Old North State,’ and said that ‘the tar, pitch and turpentine were still attached to her heels and when she touched anything she stuck to it. At the close of hei magnificent address that rang like the clear note of a silver bell through the hall, a scene dramatic in its intensity took place. Under the electric influence of her eloquence, Mrs. T. B. Pugh, presi dent of the Louisiana Division, advanced with the Louisiana flag, and Mrs. Wor cester seized the North Carolina flag, and both ladies took her by the hand and asked the privilege of waving the flags above her head. The entire audience rose in a burst of applause as the beau tiful and gifted woman caught the folds of the flags to her heart, knelt beneath them and touched them with her lips. Then rising and still acting under the impulse of the moment, she wound tne flag of her native North Carolina about her, and throwing back her head, sang in a sweet clear voice a verse of the old war song, , ‘‘Carolina, Carolina, k Heaven's blessings attend her, w’e live we will cherish, protect and defend her. Hurrah, the Old North State forever. Hurrah, Hurrah, for the good Old North State.” The audience went wild with enthus iasm, and there were rising votes of thanks, while the convention grew more and more enthusiastic. It had been swept off its feet by Mrs. Winder’s splendid eloquence. Mrs. Hudson, of Cincinati, daughter of the late Robert Patton, for whom a camp of Cincinnnati United Daughters of the Confederacy was named, added her greetings to those of Mrs. Winder. In the splendid scene fol lowing Mrs. Winder’s speech the North Carolina delegates and the State flag bore a conspicous part. The Picayune publishes the entire speech of Mrs. Winder, which is pro nounced the gem of the occasion, and which is as follows: "Madam President and Daughters of ihe Confederacy: “1 come before you as a convalescent child—for last year we drew our milk from the mother Chapter in Cincinnati and as that mother was sick, with a virulent case of fever—forming chapters we nursed with its milk of human kind ness those germs, and like a fever con valescent—l am hungry. Yesterday my bodily hunger was appeased by the gen erous hospitality of the Louisiana ladies; today my mental hunger by the sweet crumbs that fall tram the table presided over by our generohs and gracious presi dent. My appearing before you makes your loss twofold. First, this short re jx>rt which I am about to give you, would have been written by the presi dent of our Chapter. Mrs. Sells, had not her own sickness and that of several members of her family stayed her hands: secondly, it would have been read more gracefully by our division president, Mrs. Thomas W. Worcester. I did not know till yesterday that I would have the privilege of writing anything for your ears or coming before you to give a report of the glad tiding that this contains, but having always cordially responded to Mrs. Worcester’s call for aid. I present myself on this happy oc casion. as her hand-maiden, a living j»acriflce—for I admit I am frightened to death—but having yet some of those savory products—tar, pitch and turpen tine —of my native State, North Caro lina, still attached to my heel, I will stand and stick by her and duty, that whatsoever of pleasure you may And in this short report, I can take it back with comforting and encouraging words through those unsavory products—3oap, starch and blueing—to that far-a-way State, which is round on both sides'and high in the middle —Ohio, but be it never so round and never so high we have lifted over it these our glorious colors. ‘•When, in 1301, the time came for this humble representative to stop spank ing boys, I took up the tender care of Daughters. We assembled under the name of our peerless leader, Robert E. Lee. During the first year it was my privilege to unfurl this banner (holding high in the air the Confederate flag), that those generals (jx>inting to pictures of Lee and Jackson) loved so well over the heads of forty-five daughters, and with its sacred memories, then unfurling there floated over space to you their promises of true allegiance; Mrs. Sells reassures you of this at your ninth con vention, with cordial greetings of four more daughters, making our Chapter at Columbus, Ohio, an enthusiastic as semblage of forty-nine loyal women. Our duties are those of all loyal daughters —to gather and garner the histories of the men, aye, and women, who in the sixties, periled all save honor, and to furnish our part cf the money for the completion of the monument of our only Confederate President. Our hearts are gladdpned with love and enthusiasm for the opportunity to keep these sacred memories alive and to transmit them to our children. As we ‘scatter no flowers on a victor's path,' we can ‘water violets on the graves of honor and valor. And so it was that on June 14th last we placed as an organization of Daughters, our "first flowers of a perpetual tribute,’ on the graves of over 2,260 Conferedate pri vate soldiers, whose dust lies there at the South’s command, sleeping so soundly, that " ‘The bugle call—the battle ball Again shall —rouse them never, They fought and fell, They served us well. Their furloughs last forever.' "Those flowers placed there were yours and ours, for your hearty response to re quests for flowers, or money, with which to buy them, gave us this opportunity and with them we did literally cover that sacerd spot, Camp Chase Cemetery. For your hearty co-operation we thank you. We tried to do this in June, but fearing some letters may have gone astray we take pleasure in now repeat ing our grateful acknowledgements. We mailed to each Chapter that responded, papers containing notices of the cere monies of the unveiling with pictures of the cemetery, of the arch, of the gentle men who gave it, Mr. Harrison and of Col- Knauss. These pictures we now present, to the General Convention. We love to administer in every way to the sons of the Confederacy, who may come in our midst, and an occasion to do this was given to us a few weeks ago, when, in a railroad accident, Mr. Allen, the son of a veteran, was seriously injured. We were informed of the fact by the Wood stock, West Virginia, Chapter with the request that we visit him. We did so, the married ones of us, and here is where we made the unmarried ones envious, for he was a handsome, gallant young man, and we took into that sick room in a western city flowers tinted with our colors. And let me here say, should you ever hear of an accident to one of mine, I pTace him in the tender care of any daughter within my hearing. "Ladies of Louisiana, I have had the pleasure of visiting your city before, as sweetheart and wife. Madam President, I thank God my parents gave me the privilege of returning here today as Daughter, and this is my gain.” On Saturday the Daughters were taken down the river to have lunch on the his toric fields of Chalmette. As the return trip was being made from Chalmette, Colonel Chalaron requested the ladies to gather about Mrs. John H. Winder, a former North Carolinian, but now of Ohio, as she had something to say. Mrs. Winder, leaning upon a staff of sugar cane, stood upon a chair and spoke as follows: “When I return to Ohio my friends and my State must be assured that as long as J hold these commandments (holding up her ten fingers) the one bearing false witness against thy neighbor will never be broken. And now let me offer thanks to the ladies and gentlemen who have so royally entertained us. "Those brave men of Louisiana of 1812 have their heroic deeds a monument to their memory made of granite on which their names arc engraved: it will last for ages, but will remain at Chalmette. "These lovely women of Louisiana of 1902, for their gentle deeds, have al ready a mpnument to their memory in the letters which spell out her name, which are engraved upon our hearts, and will be carried with us to our graves. These letters are: “(L) Loveliness, (O) Obedience, (U) Unity, (I) Inspiration, (S) Sweetness. (T) Interest, (A) Adoration, (N) Nobil ity, (A) Admiration. The gentlemen we have found men indeed: (M) Manly, (E) Earnest, <N) Noble.” Mrs. Winder again captured the host. They all applauded as only Southern wo men can. It was after 8 o’clock when the boat reached Canal street. TEDDY BECOMES A FIBSM&N. The Brotherhood Present* Him With a Card oi Honorary Membership. (By the Associated ress.)

IG. 1902. NEW LINEJURVEYED From Sanford to Jonesboro, Then on South The Sanford Commercial Association Opening up a Road From Avcfh's Ferry to Sanford. (Special to the News and Observer.) Sanford, N. C., Dec. 13.—A survey has been made for a proposed railway from Sanford via Jonesboro in a south easterly direction. A prominent man here told your correspondent a few days ago that this was the beginning of good things for our town, as this new line will traverse and open up a very fine section of North Carolina. The line from here to Jonesboro will run parallel with the Atlantic Coast Lino and tnence south, leaving the Atlantic Coast Line to the left. The Sanford Commercial Association was organized about six months ago, and already the fruits of their labor are ’■» in evidence, as they are opening up a new road from Avent’s Ferry, on the Cape Fear River, to this place. This road will add greatly to the commerce of our town, as this new road will lessen the distance several miles, and the farmers will take advantage of this new road, as they will have access to a good cotton market and will have improved road to traverse. ITALY MAY MAKE DEMANDS. Castro Orders That Reprisal* Cease---Farlher Efforts Looking to Arbitration. (By tho Associated Press.) Caracas, Dec. 13. —A new complication has arisen. It is feared that Italy will deliver a memorandum asking for the same treatment as demanded by Great Britain and Germany. Up to the present moment, it is impossible to obtain definite information on tho matter, but the Italian legation denied the delivery of any ulti matum. The news of the arrival of the British commodore, Montgomery, at La Guaira, has created excitement at Caracas, but up to five o'clock tonight the authorities here have no knowledge of his designTtn government circles it is believed that a notification of the blockade of the Vene zuelan coasts will be transmitted. It is learned from a government source that on the advice of Minister Bowen a calm and cool attitude for 24 hours more has been advocated and that if the Angle-German forces disembark at La Guaira the troops at the fort and in the newly erected redoubts will not fire on them, the object being to obtain time for Washington to answer as to the pro posal for arbitration made to Berlin and London. President Castro has taken up a new attitude. Strong in Venezuela's rights, he ha 3 ordered that reprisals are to cease, and yesterday he gave instructions that all the property of the British and German railroads and British telephone companies should be returned. Tho gov ernment will retain still the control of the La Guaira railroad, but its adminis tration will be left independent. Patriotic demonstrations took placo again yesterday and today. The Vene zuelans have decided also to boycott all goods manufactured in Germany and Great Britain and in all stores notices are posted declaring that henceforth the owners will refuse to sell goods com ing from those countries. At one o’clock this afternoon, a special train left Caracas for La Guaira taking Alfred Bolhm, a leading German mer chant and a German banker of Caracas: The German consul accompanied them part of the journey. They are going on board the Vineta on a special mission to try and obtain Germany's acceptance of arbitration president Castro gave the passports, though tho intitiatlve in this mission was taken by Germans and not by the gov ernment. The Demand is Made. (By the Associated Press.) Caracas, Dec. 13. —It is now’ stated that Italy has handed to the Venezuelan government similar demands to those made by Germany and Great Britain for the payment of her claims- The immediate object of the German commission in coming to La Guaira is to try and induce the commodore to delay the blockade. Popular demonstrations continue here and the government is protecting the German legation, in which Madame von Pilgrim-Baltazzi is lying ill. It is im possble to remove her to the United States legation. Three thousand, two hundred Venezuelan troops are in the neighborhood of La Guaira. BBITISH STEAMERPILLAGftD. United States Gunboat Marietta Arrives---Ia Guaira’s Forts Evacuated. (By the Associated Press.) La Guaira, Dec, 13. —The British steamer Topaze, from Cardiff, was seized by the rabble at Puerto Cabello, Wednes day, and pillaged. The captain and crew were held as prisoners, but were releas ed today and the steamer will sail at noon tomorrow’ for Cienfuegos. The Ger man cruisers Falke and Panther have arrived here and thp German training ship Stosch is cruising around outside on the lookout. The steamer Prinz William IV., entered the port at 2 o'clock this afternoon and discharged. She is now about to sail again. Other ships which arrived off the port this morning will proceed without communications. A commission compos ed of leading merchants of Caracas has arrived here and has been on board the ' British cruiser Charybdis and the German cruiser Vineta. On the departure of the ! commission, the Vineta sailed for an un j known destination. The fortresses here have been evacuated and all the soldiers have left the town. The militia has been called out to maintain order. All the drinking saloons and booths have baen closed by order of the President. 1 The United States gunboat Marietta arrived today from Curacao, and has an chored outside the harbor. TO AID THEIR IMPLOTEBS TO FiOHT THE TOBACCO TRUST. Three Thousand Members of the Cigar Makers Union Will Wait a Year Before Asking for Increased Pay. (By the Associated Press.) Chicago, Dec. 13. —Three thousand mom- 1 bers of the Cigar-Makers Union will wait for another year before demanding j a wage increase, because they do not wish to increase the exDcnses of their employers, who are lighting the so-called Tobacco Trust. For several months, a large proportion of the membership of! the union has been agitating the intro duction of tho Spanish bill system of making cigars. This would increase the ! wage of the workmen from $4 to $6 a j thousand. So eager were the agitators to have the syste m introduced that they were willing to strike to gain it. Gporge J. Thompson then told of the struggle of the independent and union manufacturers to resist the inroads cf the so-called Trust. The Trust factories, he asserted, are, run by non-union and under paid women and children so that the combination can sell cigars at from $2 to $G a thousand less than the inde pendents. Strike talk was dropped first, and when (he vote was put the ‘proposition was defeated bv a vote of 2 to 1. TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY Take Laxative Broimo-Quirdne Tablets. This signature E. W.
