'CENTENARY OF MRS.
, JEFFERSON DAVIS
-; Patriotic Societies Throughout the
, South to Commemorate Her Birth.
't Richmond, Va., May (5. —Veterans’
■organizations and patriotic and other
(societies throughout the South will
icommcmoratc rhe one hundredth an-
Iniveisarv of the birth of Mrs. Varina
I | Howe 1 Davis, the wife of Jeffenson
Davis. President of the Confederate
| States of America. Handsome
wreathe* contributed by chapters of
j the United Daughters of the Con
! federaey of Richmond and other
cities will be deposite<l on the grave
,of Mrs. Davie. \Tfto is buried in Hol
jlywood Cemetery, where lie the re
jmaine of her husband and those of
(her daughter. Winnie, "the Ihi tighter
'of the Confederacy.”
Mrs. Davis wan born Varina
Howell, granddaughter of Gov. Rieli
,ard Howell of New Jersey, May 7.
! 1 N2t>. at Natchez, Mise.. and was
I educated in a private school and by
i tutors at home. She was married to
i Jefferson Davit* on February 25,
1*45, being hie; second wife. The
first Mrs. Davis was Sallie Knox
i Taylor, daughter of the then Colonel
land later President Zachary Taylor.
! Mrs. Ihi vis was with her husband
I during his second year’#; imprison
j ment at Fortress Monroe. taking
; with her their youngest child, the
i late Miss Winnie Davis.
| About IS7D, when the Davises had
j gone live at Beauvoir, a magni
} fi(3t*nt estate on the Mississippi j
j coast, given to Mr. Davis by a j
| Southern woman after the war. Mrs.
1 Davis acted as her husband's
amanuensis while he wrote the "De
cline and Fall of the Confederate
Gov ranient.”
After his death ;n 18S9. Mrs.
Davis lived' in the North, spending
her winters at a hotel in New York
j City, and supporting herself with,
I literary work, in which Miss Win- !
nie Davis was also engaged. Mrs. 1
Davis's residence in the North was j
due to considerations of busiiuvs and !
health and he lost her close touch
with the Southern people, to whom
her apartments in New York were a
Mecca.
In 1003 Mrs Davis sold Beauvoir
for SIO,OOO to the Mississippi Di
vision of the United Sons of
federate Veterans. The place h: s
since been used as a home for old
soldiers of the Coofedemey.
One of the imprewiive episodes of
Mrs. Davis's life- wan connected with
the release of her hrueband from his
confinement at Fortress Monroe.
When she went to New York ro con
sult Charles O'Connor, her husband's
counsel, about securing her hus
band's release from imprisonment,
that eminent lawyer told here that in
his opinion there was just one thing
to be done, and that was to get the
leading man of the Republican party
to sign his bond
" And who Is he? inquired Mrs.
Davis. "Horace Greeley,” replied Mr.
O’Conor.
Mrs. Davis was finally persuaded
to call on Air. Greeley and was
courteously received. She told her
story, how she had come to New
York to work for his release, and
had befcn told that the only way to
secure it was to get the signature of
Horace Greeley to the bond.
“Madame.” said Greeley, extend
ing his hand, "I will sign the bond.”
And ihe did-
But it was a costly performance
for Horace Greeley. He was a candi
date for the United States sena**\
but his action so angered the legisla
tors that he lost the election. He had
just written a history of the war,
for which large orders had been
taken, but the falling off in subscrip
tions was sa great that the estimated
loss to Greeley was over $30,000.
Airs. Davis lived until her eighteith
year and to the last preserved much
lof her youth both in appearance and
mind. Her death occurred in New
York, October 17, 1906.

Candler, of Atlanta, told the General
Conference of the M. E. Church,
South, at the opening of today’s ses
sionhere.
Greetings from the Bishops of the
Al. E. Church in session at Washing
ton were read and the bishops of the
Southern Church were asked by the
conference to make a suitable reply.
A sharp floor fight developed in the
session over a resolution introduced
iby Dr. R. G.. AVood, of AlcKinney,
Texas# to give mission members of the
General Conference committees the
right to vote in committee. The reso
lution was ruled out of order as un

eral conference of the Alethodist Epis

MEN MUST WORK
TO BRING PEACE
Train Attacked and Pas
sengers Hurt—Mounted
Police Needed to Bring
Order Last Night.
London. Mny 6.— (A*) —The gr : p of
the general strike gives no sign of les
sening. The third day finds both gov
ernment officials and labor chiefs
proclaiming their determination to
fight to the end.
The administration's new mouth
piece. the British Gazette, declares
‘there can be no compromise of any
k ; ud. Either the country will break
the general strike* or the general strike
will break the country.
An official communique reiterated
that there would be no negotiations
until tin* men return to work.
Trades union officials denying all
peace rumors, announced tersely "The
situation continues satisfactorily.*’
Meanwhile attempts of strike sym
pathizers to halt the volunteer trans
portation service gave rise of farther
rioting. As before, the worst of the
i disorders were in Scotland, cspecial
jly along the Clydeside, the cental- of
labor radicalism.
At Alussolburg near Edinburgh, a
train was attacked and passengers
were injured by the smashing of win
dows. In the Scotch capital itself,
there were sanguinary troubles during j
the night, with the police wielding j
their clubs in enssed charges to clear j
j the streets of rioting gangs which
j sosught to stop the emergency tram
, way service. Busses were attacked
I at Parsley, another Scotch city,
Alounted police were called into ac
tion in the southeastern section of
London at the euphoniously named
"Elephant and Castle," a tavern and
traffic center where strike sympathiz
ers attacked and set fire to a motor
bus.
The government continued its ef
forts to assure the food supply of the
p*»piJatioa, and It L i-ame Ti»cw'ljL.tl*u.t
soldiers and sailors will be used in
this work if necessary. The country's
supplies of tinned and smoked meats
and -wheat flour are sufficient for a j
month, while more wheat cargoes are
expect ed.
Further movement of naval and
military forces was reported, a cruis
er arriving at Cardiff, the chief port
in the South AVales coal mining dis
trict and a battalian of Highlanders
being sent from the Isle of Wight to
"an unknown destination.^
From the standpoint of the general
public, the situation may be said to
be easier, inasmuch ns there has been
a large increase throughout the coun
try in the transportation facilities
manned by volunteers. v
London, Alay 6. — UP) —The strike
situation was reviewed at a full meet
ing of the parliamentary labor party
this afternoon in the House of Com
mons, under the chairmanship
mons, under the chairmanship of for
mer Premier Ramsay AlacDonald. The
executives of the miners’ union was
expected to confer with the parlia
mentary labor leaders later.
London, Alay 6. — U P) —No indica
tion was given in the government's
communique to the press at noon of
any resumption of peace parleys. It
emphasized that the government, ad
heres to its attitude that the strike
must be called off before negotiations
can be re-opened.
Many Passengers Injured Near Edin
burgh.
Edinburgh, Scotland, Alay 6. — UP)
—Alany passengers were injured when
a crowd attacked a train at Mus
selburgh near here today. Showers
of stones were thrown, shattering the
windows.
Both Sides Entrenching.
London, Alay 6. — UP) —The evening
of the third day of the great general
strike finds the British government
and the trades union congress stead
ily entrenching and fortifying their
positions without an indication of a
break anywhere.
The British AVorkers, the strikers’
organ, in a bulletin issued at 5 p.
m., declared the situation was un
changed, the workers holding on quiet
l ly but tenaciously.
The government is slowly increas
ing its volunteer transportation ser
vices, but the economic life of the
country remains paralyzed.
Rumors Spread And Are Denied.
London, April 6.— (/P) —A telegram
received by the trades union congress
says the organization for the main
tenance of supplies at Newcastle has
broken down and that a request lias
been made to have the trades union
undertake food distribution. This
they have refused to do unless the
authorities guarantee the removal of
the navy and military contingents.
Attorney General Hogg in a state
ment in the House of Commons de
! dared there was "no truth whatev

Dr. McGeachy Resigns From
Fundamentalist Organization
Charlotte, Alay 5. —Announcement
this morning by Dr. A. A. AlcGeachy,
pastor of the Second Presbyterian
Church, and one of tlie leaders in the
organization o| the fundamentalist
eommmittee of one hundred, of his
withdrawal from the organization,
marked the first split in the ranks of
the committee following yesterday's
hectic session here.
“I could not approve of the intol
erant spirit of the gathering," Dr.
AlcGeachy said in explaining his rea
son for refusing further to have any
thing to do with the committee. "It
was an intolerant attitude that. I
think was out of keeping with the
true spirit of. Christianity.” Dr. Mc-
Geachy also deplored the method by
which the platform was adopted, say
ing that parliamentary rules were
not followed apd that no opportunity
was given for careful consideration
of the measure. .
AV. E. Price, prominent business
man of this city, secretary of the com
mittee of one hundred until its meet
ing here vesterday, today indicated
that he would sever his relations with
the committee. He expressed prac-i
ticaily the same reasons for his ac
tion as those set forth by Dr. Alc-j
Geach.v. The spirit of intolerance
shown at yesterday’s meeting will de
feat the purpose of the organization,
Mr. Price said. He said that Ue
