'W"- ' A committee composed of the re tiring president, Mrs. R. , E.

It is hoped to have this done before the Confederate vet erans gather in Washington next Anril fnr their annual reunion. ThU . f tep will no doubt hasten the. work -of placing suitable markers on; tne battlefield of Gettysburg which will "direct the attention of all visitors to this important Doint In North Caro lina war history. -,; , y .v : -i : The convention took a x decided stand In favor of the encouragement of the organization In this State . of ramps of the Sons . of r Veterans North Carolina la entitled to more of these camps, than, any other State which belonged to the Confederacy, -yet she has ..at present only two camps. Capt, William X.

The purpose is to have the State divided into numer ous brigades with commanders ' Tor each.

Mrs.' little was appointed official story teller for the state division and in this capacity will, as opportunity arisen, present to the members of the younxer generation in the form of stories, the life of the old South and thus help to keep alive -In the jchll dren of the ' c outh the love for tne old days and old things that animate the hearts of the Daughters tuem eve?. v; - ; . ; Several Important changes were made in the constitution, . One of these changes allows the retiring president' to go to the general con vention. as president of the. State convention and submit 'her report for the year. The general conven tion meets this year in Dallas. Texas, within the next few week. " There were three towns after tne nineteen seventeen convention, namely: High Point, 'Henderson ville and Kinston. Mrs. C. F. Long presented High Points invitation. Mrs.- L. E. Fisher that of Henderson ville and Mrs. E. B. Marston that of Kinston. - The last named place was tne successful Diaaer. . Mrs. Little, the retiring president. who goes to the Dallas convention as representative of the State divis ion, was Instructed to Invite the gen eral convention to. come next year to Ashevtlle. The mountaln.city.ls very anxious to . have it and,' It is said, stands a good chance. In responding to the addresses of welcome Tuesday night Mrs. Little, sneaking for the State division, said in part: Dear Ladles and Gentlemen of Gaa tonla:..,.. . f I cannot tell you bow , happy we are to be with you tonight. Of course yon all know, but 1 am going to tell you again, what a wonderful reputa tlon your city has for gay, cheerful, overflowing and all-together charm' ing hospitality.. I would , love to speak of your county's notable rec ord in so many, ways, your loyalty, your up-to-dateness, the spindles that whirl in your midst, but I am here to speak of a different thing. the work of an organization ' whicn Is entirely, unique in the annals of the 'world itself, the United Daugn- ters of the Confederacy. Tninit ot nearly I uu.uoo, women bound ' together by the ties of abso lute devotion and loyalty to the mem ory of a cause that is sometimes caii ed, "Lost." .More than 50 years ago two great armies faced each other; one fought for the Union, the othor for the principles on which the L'n ion was founded. - Truly Ood does move In a mysterious way but time. which "at last sets all things right" will explain even this. r am going to tell you now of some of the work our organization Is doing in North Carolina. : Our edu catlonal work grows yearly. It is in charge of a notable chairman and helpers. - We have scholarships. We are making a specialty now of establishing college chapters of U.'D C, in connection with other historical work. Every citizen should be Interested in the Soldiers Home and I ask that yon Impress on the men you send to Raleigh this winter to vote for need ed improvements In the Home and the money to pay for them. Tne faithful man and. woman, Capt. and Mrs. Lineberry. who have Just lett the home after six years of arduous service, gave of their best, and it is sweet to hear the old men say, that they were always "kind." .

': yourselves easy as to our veterans. I did not hear a word of our Con federate Woman's Home. Farette- ville, except of praise and satisfac tion and 1 hope the state Is satisfied now as to the wisdom of having such an institution. I am really distress ed to have to tell you that the bridge at tne stonewall Jackson Training School is not to -be dedicated during this convention, as we had hoped it would be. Thla bridge Is planned as a memorial to Stonewall Jackson and his wife. Through unavoidable circumstances the completion of the work is not yet. but the interest Is strong and funds are rapidly accum ulating. Let me ask you again that you mothers and fathers bear on your hearts the boys who are being given a better chance In this school and let us hope .that the coming Leg isiature will see Qt to enlarge its scoped. .. A very beautiful work Is the ne morlal window in the American Red Cross Building, Washington. While in Washington in June 1 saw this building, one of the most beautiful in the world and we may feel proud that one of the three great windows in the Assembly Hall is to be a me morial to the women of the South of 1861 to 1863. The women of the North and the. American Red Cross Oil the other two spaces. It is not too late for any one who desires to have the name of some woman pre cious to him, or her, recorded in tae memorial volume, to be kept in this building..". - I feel sure yon like to hear some thing of the unveiling of the Vance statute, which ' I attended as your president. I was truly proud of the North. Carolinians who had this In charge Governor Craig, Judge Soke, Bishop Cheshire, Mr. Clement anly and others made it a memor able occasion, and when I saw Ashe- ville s rhodadendronsnd our State's pine and Mrs. Josephus Daniel's palms laid near our great Governor, my Heart was full. According to es tablished custom women did not speak on this occasion, but if they had, 1 -would have said this: . "The devoted women whom I represent. Daughters of our great war Govern or's men, wish to leave near him this pine from his native State, from utiiun hoort ha anvtmv In vhnoa ..- whose heart he sprung, in whose bo som he rests. His heart , was as brave and clean and free as our-tree, and fitting It Is, that the soldiers he cherished should have for their per petual emblem the heart's red or courage, the stainless -white" of hon or. Again today comes the call to our women for lovlug service. East and West. North and South, we an swer: 'Here we areunited; we will not fail yon; go forward In God's same and may the mighty ghosts or those who Inhabit here camp round about you." ; ; Dear friends, hearken to me now. In the sound of my voice are meu and women, who will say: "Why yes, my father was in the war; of course he was in the war." When your children ask you. maybe about Joining a Children's Chapter chil dren, I. want you to aggravate your parents , until they set - you down some records . of family descent, a matter of information as well as pride; and make - them hare therr photographs taken,- I can never for get my own father saying he would give anything in the world for a pic ture ot his father and mother, wao like many oid-tlmey people did not leave one tor their: children. .

Mrs, Little was as follows: j f Since5 last convention, : ladles, ; 1 have been hard at w"orlr on odr V.' D; business, i nave written some thing like a thousand letters and if I have failed to answer any one it has been unintentional. For more than four' months sickness and deatn never left my mind, and when ' last May my precious little mother, the wlfo of a soldier, was laid to. rest. your woras ot sympatny and your nowers nrougbt bslm to my heart. Our last convention pledged itself to more faithful and prompt edu caiionai worn man we nave ever done before;' Miss Gash will tell you wnetner tnis pledge nas been fuinii ed. I cannot speak too highly of her laitniuiness and tne help of her com mittee. I taught a moonlight school four weeks In memory of my father My pupils were workers In a silk mill, bright minds and fine natures. One of these, a young lady, learned to read ordinary Latin . sentences In four lessons. Mrs. Bickett's report win explain to you the Stars and Bars Memorial. Our hearts are still In -It. and we expect to have It. Miss Jessica Smith's fidelity deserves suc cess. Our memorial Jackson bridge at Concord cannot be dedicated dur ing this convention, as I had fondly hoped and Mrs. Cooper's report will explain this. Our treasurer has sent the . $10 promised the Cunningham Memorial, Nashville. The revision of our constitution is probably - the most Important work before us dur ing this convention. - An nncommon? ly fine committee has charge of the revision and I feel that their sugges tions should, and will, find favor with you. Moat ot you heard my report last night about the Soldiers Home. That committee has also done well. One hot afternoon . In July, I walked through the five wards with Dr. Mc Kee. Some of those old bed-ridden men were so hot that If Just nearly broke my heart. When I asked Dr. McKee why they had one electric fan Instead of five, he said: "Mrs. Lit tle we are already $2,000 behind this quarter.' Mrs. Smith and I at once purchased four v additional fans, which they say were a great comfort. We also bought- regulation hospital trays and had a platform bunt so tne old men in rolling chairs could . get down on the ground.' I hope many of you will visit the home this win ter and talk to Mrs. Mlxson, the new matron.- I feel the utmost confidence In her ability and good faith.. Let every Daughter see to it that t&e cause ot the- home and Its' needs are laid before the men who shall repre sent her county In the- Legislature this winter. The board are unani mous in telling me that the presence of a housekeeper on it has been a great help. Of couse. we all under stand that a woman's suggestions and help are needed everywhere, that t&e old, the sick, the dependnt, the chil dren are concerned. Our Arlington monument . fund still needs a small help; as you will hear from Its report. Mrs. Williams win tell yow ot Sail oh, a wonderful undertaking and a magnificent - me morial to our soldiers. . Mrs. Holt is chairman of children's work and rs certainly "on her Jen." Her Ideas are really wonderful. I think it t&e most important, thing we have ex cept the proper consideration of our veterans. I wish Mrs. Hunter Smitn could know what peace and satisfac tion i reel when I think of the Con federate , woman s Home.' Not a word too good concerning it. Some day -we will ride on our Xational Jefferson Darts highway, but enthu siasm' on your part will cause us to ride sooner, . . ., -:. -: As to our State reports for . the Confederate veteran, several .have been sent -in, . which did not appear, owing to the surplus of material for the Veteran, but our work has been brought Co public attention.
