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. . v r i i — For Sale Cheap. > Second hand elevator. Been f used about two years. Apply H to R.
