SCATTERED ROSES
ALONG LI Os MARCO
Immense Throngs of Visiting People Witnessed the Great
floral Parade and Beautiful Battle of Roses
in Macon Today.
DREAM BEAUTY,
Nothing Like It Has Ever
Been Seen in this State,
or in Fact in South-
Applauded Liber
ally Social
News.
The preparations for the Floral Parade
were made on such an extensive and mag
nificent scale that even the weather seems
to have realized its responsibilities and
this morning a glorious sun shed brilliant
light for the occasion.
This light from heaven left nothing to be
desired in beauty, for never did California
or Mexico during their floral festivals, have
a more beautiful line of flower-covered
equippages than Georgia’s Central City
showed today.
The lovely queen, Miss Birdie Coleman,
was enthroned in a victoria covered with
MISS IDA MANGHAM.

water lillies, the tender green and white
of the flowers fitting well her dainty
blone beauty. 'Her escorts were Lieutenant
Hazlehurst and Mr. Preston.

Ida Mangham and Miss Mamey Hatcher in
a carriage decorated with pink roses. They
were escorted by Messrs. Cabaniss and
Winters on horse back.

English in a carriage decorated with pink
chrysanthemums. They were escorted by
Messrs. Clayton and' 'Martin.

The parade this morning was one of the
grandest sighls ever seen in Macon. It was
delayed at the starting point for over an
hour on account of vehicles arriving late.
The parade, headed by the queen, started
at exactly 12 o’clock and took up the line
of march.
The carriages and traps were all beauti
fully decorated and there were full fifty in
line. Many of the South’s most beautiful
women were in the parade, which does
credit to Macon.
The News endeavors to publish a list of
vehicles and their occupants and decora
tions. It is probable that several name*'
may be left out but it is due to lack of
* time and is not intentional.
Following the queen and her maids of
honor were Mr. and Mr*. Rosa White who
had their carriage beautifully decorated
with wisteria. The trap was one of the
prettiest in the procession and attracted
much attention.

most capacity and enthusiasm was at its
highest.
There are at present over one hundred
'and twenty-five horses at the park and
most of them will run during the carnival.
The races began yesterday afternoon
promptly at 3 o’clock. The first race was
the 2:45 trot for a purse of $250. Four
heats were entered but the final was post

were entered in this contest. Oiie of the

crowd i nthe grand stand rose in the'ir
seats and cheered lustily. The race was
von by Billy, driven by S.tleis, who proved
himself to be an expert in handling horses.
The other contest did not prove to be as
interesting as Ihe first .three. However,
they were exciting enough to keep up the'
spirit of the crowd. The first three races
are among the best that have ever been
run in Macon.
The mile track is now one of the best in
the country. It has recently been rolled
and graded and is as level as a floor. The
owners of the horses say that the track is
•the best they have yet sen in the 'South.
Horses from all parts of the country are
here and among them are some of the fast

FOR A MEMORIAL
Macon Will Do Her Share to Honor Miss
Winnie Davis. Vj
If. the -proposition to erect a manument '
to the memory of the late Miss Winnie
Davis is pushed there is no doubt that Ma- ,
don will contribute her full share of the
neeesasry funds, and in addition give to the
project that spirit of enthusiasm which
will not allow it to flag once a definite plan
has been decided upon.
While “The Daughter of the Confeder
acy” was not born here, the organization
that is her namesake, “The Daughters of
the Confederacy,” had its inception -and
start in this city. The fact that the first
association of daughters of Confederate
soldiers using .thia distinctive title was
formed here renders it specially fitting, it
is thought, that Macon shouid take a fore
most place in the work of securing suffi
cient funds to erect a monument that will
-be at once a monument to Mi.ss Davis as
a distinctive Daughter of the Confederacy,
and to the organization whose thousands
of members entertain with her the deep
est devotion to the South of the struggle
of the early ’6o’s, and those who fought
her battles at that time.
A leading member of the Confederate
Veterans’ Association, expressed the opin
ion yesterday ‘that it would be a very
graceful tribute for the women of the Con
federacy and their daughters of today to -
place a suitable memorial over Miss Davs*
resting place. The sentiment that would
actuate them would be recognized by all
as noble and sincere. The monument, he
thought, would be a tribute, not alone to
Miss Davis, but to all the women of the
South, it would be in honor of true woman
hood throughout “Dixie,” an appropriate $
recognition of the high character of the
women of tjte Confederacy and their 7’
daughters.
“If the Daughters of the Confederacy
determine to erect such a monument,” he j.
said, “I have not the slightest doubt but I
that they will succeed. They will never,J|L
rest until the capstone is placed and the* Vi
plan, completed in every detail. They have w
the same spirit of their mothers of thirty- ; 1
odd years ago.
The Sons of Confederate Veterans have (
already announced their intention of erect
ing a monument to Miss Davis, and the
Daughters of the Confederacy will doubt
less largely share, is that the latter should
at -least co-operate in the movement if not
be placed at the head of it. He belleVes
that sue ha movement would then take on
a significance that it would not otherwise
jwssess. .
