’GEORGIA’S DADGHTERS
OF THE CONFEDERACY
Two Rome Ladies Are Highly Honored by the Convention
•/Which Has Been in Session in Augusta,
By Mr.. Etteat HHlyer Harrla.
, I promised to send some notes for
Sunday’s paper, but I have been in
such, a whirl of pleasure and excite
ment that my time has been entirely
consumed.
When I arrived late Wednesday
night there was a feeling of uncer
tainty and gloom for my trunk had
not been properly ohebked and was in
Atlanta and I had] no idea where I
should as a delegate be sent. My foot
bad hardly left the car step, when the
arms of my beautiful cousin were
about my neck, Mrs. Chas. Phiniay,
and since then all has been like a
dream. Augasta is most charming,
her people graciously kind, and her,
.women perfect types of Georgia’s
fairest and purest of flowers.
Yesterday morning the decorations
at the Masonic Hall were very lovely.
Portraits of Gen. Lee, Davis and Jack
son adorned the stage while confeder
ate flags some battle scarred and tear
bedewed hung lovingly over their fal
len braves. Huge steamers of red
and white bunting floated every
where and palms and vines in Quantity
made the place most attractive.
The session opened at 10:30 by a most
touching and appropriate prayer by Rev.
Dr. Lansing Borrows. The ladies who
presided so graciously over the conven
tion were:
State president and president of Chap
ter A., Mrs. W.F. Eve. .
Vice President Mrs. R. E. Park, of
Macon.
Recording Secretary Mrs. Loulie Ken
dal Rogers, of Barnesville.
Secretary Mrs. J.. W. Moore.
Corresponding Secretary . Mrs.' Ran
dolph Ridgley.
Miss Rosa Woodberry.
The reports of the officers and audit
ing committees and of the different chap
ters were most encouraging for the fu
ture work of tne association.
The address of welcome by Mrs. Ran
dolph Ridgley was cordial, gracious and
most heartfelt, and in every way char
acteristic of the charming woman whom
the chapter chose to represent them.
Thursday night the Hon. J. C. C-
Black delivered a finished, eloquent,
I and heartfelt address.
The ladies of Augusta with their
own hands have made confederate
uniforms for the sixty-flve veterans
who live here.
These men were there. It ’ was pa
thetic to see the old canteen and
the blankets and knapsacks strapped
to their bodies. They all wore too
the soft grey crush “Johnnie Reb” bat
—the prettiest in the worid. During
the address the rebel yell, and the
.waiving of handkerchiefs attested the
feeling and appreciation of the audi
ence. Os course “Bonnie Blue Flag”
‘‘Dixie”and“Unfarl that Banner ’ were
sung. Mr. Black said these things
might be called sentiment but a man
without sentiment was without princi
ple; that a woman without sentiment
was one without principle; a woman
, without principle was without
love, and a woman without love
was a monstrosity.
After the oration the veterans had
a dress parade out on Broad street,
and the moon shone on their beauti
ful soldier suits and brave faces, while
the ladies looked on waving their
handkerchiefs. Some were lame and
one armed yet we loved them. A
beautiful woman whispered tenderly
’ “they won’t be here long.’’
Well I can’t write any more—you
know how it is when your eyes are
full of tears, don’t you?
Friday morning the Daughters of the
Confederacy held their third meeting at
the Masonic building. Mrs. R. E. Park,
qf Macon, in chair. Meeting opened
with prayer by Mrs. Jefferson Thomas of
Atlanta.
The nominating committee for the
state officers reported, and the election
was as follows: President, Mrs. Hallie
Alexander RounsaviUe; Vice President,.
Mrs. Anna Benning, of Columbus; Second
Vice President, Mrs. Passie Fenton Ottley,
Atlanta; Corresponding Secretary, Mrs.
Susie Bowie Terhune, Rome; Registrar,

Mrs. Dora C. Lanier. West Point: Histo

In the state of Geogia there are one
hundred and fifty chapters.
An invitation from the veterans was
accepted that each chapter would send a
delegate to the meeting soon to be held
in Atlanta.,
It was suggested that the chapter pre
pare a handsome banner to be presented
to the United Veterans. Forty-five or
fifty dollars was raised in about two min
utes for that purpose.
During the exercises a lady in the au
dience arose and said she begged to eall
especial attention to a stream of sun light
illuminating the portraits of Jackson,
Lee and Davis.
The president replied that she had no
ticed it like a halo—and all agreed that
the pictured faces of the undying dead
had been the inspiration of the hoar
It was urged that the legislature be
recommended to appoint some southern
man to write a suitable history of the
south to be used in the schools, also to
hive prepared a supplementary reader,
for the purpose of perpetuating our own
local stories, and incidents.
It was ardently insisted that the time
. had come when onr children should be
j taught the truth, and nothing but the
. truck without fear or extenuation.
An able paper was read on this sub
ject by Mrs. J. A. RounsaviUe of Rome.
She was continuously applauded, hnd
her presence here reflected great honor
on Rome and the state as a brilliant,
conservative and cultured woman.
This afternoon papers by Mrs. Wil
liam H. Felton and Miss Mildred Lewis
Rutherford will be read after which
some informal business will be trans
acted and then a final adjournment
will ensue, thus ending a most happy
and enjoyable gathering of those who in
their heart of hearts have “forgotten to
forget”—the boys in the jackets of gray.

Too Mach For the Doff.
A historian of the town of Athol,
Mass., writing in The Transcript of
that town, tells of an old citizen, Dex
ter Lee by name, who possessed the
power of controlling, even of intimidat
ing, animals. Mr. Lee was one of the
most sunny and good humored of men,
in whose presence even a quarrel was
"well nigh impossible. Yet he was ab
solutely fearless of either man or beast,
and no animal dared to approach him
with hostile in lent.
One day a pjddler arrived in Athol
with a valuable stock of silk in his
wagon. A little crowd gathered about
it, among whom was Dexter Lee. As
the peddler moved about the place,
from one store to another, without
locking up his silk, Lee remarked to
him:
“I should think you would be afraid
of being robbed with so costly a load. ”
“No fear of that, ” said the peddler,
laughing. “I have a guard in there who
will protect the stock against anything. ’•
He pointed to a large bulldog of fero
cious aspect who lay inside the wagon
and who growled threateningly at the
crowd.
“Nonsensel” said Lee. “Hewouldn’t
stand up against a man.”
“Wouldn’t he? You’d better not go
near him. ”
‘I can scare him out of the wagon.”
“If you can, I will give you every
yard of silk there is in it.”
Lee said no more, but stepped back a
little and drew his under lip between
his teeth, which caused his wiry chin
whisker to project into the air in an
extraordinary and alarming manner.
Then he fixed his eyes sharply on the
dog and slowly approached the animal.
The bulldog watched him for a mo
ment’ as if fascinated, but presently,
whqp Lee made a little dive at him,
the dog made a leap out of the wagon,
and with a series of terrified howls
bounded across the street and crouched
there with his tail between his legs.
Nor could his master induce him to
come to him until the terrible man had
gone to a distance.
One Cannot Overthrow a Republic.
In The Century there is an article on
political society in Paris under the title
of “Royalists and Republican, ”-writ
ten by Baron Pierre de Coubertin.
Speaking of the efforts of the Legiti
mists and Crleanists, M. de Coubertin
says:
The period which followed the de
cease of the Count de Chambord was
one of increasing disillusions. It had
been so continually reiterated among
their adherents that the Orleans princes*
would “do something” as soon as they
had “the right,” that every one had
ended by believing that they would.
Now that the- right was theirs as the
sole representatives of legitimacy, they
did nothing. Very little reflection suf
ficed to show how impossible it was
that they should do anything. One may
conspire against a sovereign, overthrow
a monarchy. What power can be used
against a -republic based on the ballot?
To all pretenders the republic replies:
“You wish to take my place? Very
well. You have the right to do so. Get
a majority. Get them to elect. you. ”
An electoral majority large enough to
modify the constitution in favor of the
individual to whom democracy gives
its confidence—that is the only chance
in a republic. General Boulanger might
- have attained his end in that fashion,
' and even he failed. With the Comte de
Paris it was out of the question. He
could not at any time have commanded
a sufficient number of votes. And it
would have been incompatible with his
dignity as pretender to sue for them in
person.

Patchwork!
One of the most encouraging feature*
of a cure made by S.S.S. (Swift’s Specific)
is its permanency. Os all diseases, it is
well known that those of the blood are
the most obstinate, and therefore the
most difficult to cure. The medical
profession, in fact, have virtually ad
mitted that a real, deepseated blood
disease is beyond their skill.
Os course, their admission is not made
In so many words, but actions speak
louder than words, and their inability to
cure, after months and often years of
.treatment, is sufficient evidence that dis
eases of the blood cannot be cured by
doctors. Their mercurial mixtures, al
though tffken faithfully, only cover, up
the symptoms of the disease, inducing
the patient to feel that he is being cured;
blit when he is sooner or later seized
with stiff joints, pain in the bones, etc.,
the evidence of • the doctor’s patchwork
is conclusive. Such results cannot be ex
pected from the use of S. S. S. Being
purely vegetable, containing no harm
ful mineral ingredients, it is the only
blood, remedy which acts on the true
principle of forcing the disease from
the system, building up rather than
tearing down the health. No loss of
hair, no stiff joints, no decrepit mercu
rial wrecks result from the use of S.S.S.

H. L. MYERS.
Mr. H. L. Myers,of 100 Mulberry street,
Newark, N. J., made the mistake of re
lying upon remedies based upon mineral
ingredients, and for the hundreds of
dollars which he invested received only
disappointment in return. He says :
“I was afflicted with a terrible blood
disease, which was in spots at first, but
afterwards spread all over my body.
These soon broke out into sores, and it
is easy to imagine the suffering I en
dured.
“Before I became convinced that
the doctors could do no good I had
spent ■a . hundred dollars, which was
really thrown away. I then tried vari
ous patent medicines, but they did not
reach the disease. When I had finished
my first bottle of S.S.S., I was greatly
improved and was delighted with the
result. The large red splotches on my
chest began to grow paler and smaller,
and before long disappeared entirely. I
regained my lost weight, became strong
er, and my appetite greatly improved.
I was soon entirely well, and my skin as
clear as a piece of glass.”
S.S.S. is a sure cure for all manner
of blood diseases, and disappointment
never results from its use. It is
