THE BARROW TIMES * FIRST WHITE HOUSE OF THE CONFEDERACY TO BE PRE SERVED. Jefferson Davis Home at Montgo mery Purchased by Alabama Women From Render Heirs at LaGrange, Ga. Montgomery, Ala., July 14. — The first white house association of Montgomery now owns the building at the southwest corner of Lee and Montgomery streets in this city known as “the first white house of the confederacy,” ac cording to reliable information ob tained tonight. Mrs. Belle Allen Ross, at Mont gomery, secretary of the TTrst White House association, returned to Montgomery late Monday night from LaGrange, Ga., where she spent the day in conference with heirs of the Render estate, former owners of the property. Mrs. Ross said that she could not make an official statement until * meeting of the association had been held and the matter presented to the members. It is understood that the First White House association only owns the building but it. is possible that, with the assistance of the Alabama legislature, which Mon day appointed a joint committee of the senate and house to see what could be done toward saving the property, an effort will be made to purchase the land on which the house is located. Reports that th eAlabama divi sion of the Daughters of the Con federacy were trying to save the property are said by members of the First White House association to he erroneous. The work was or iginally taken up by that body hut later the First White HouslT asso ciation was organized and charter ed by the legislature to take over the work. Since that time the asso ciation has been actively but quietly at work with the result that it now owns the building and it has been saved to the people of the south as an historic structure.
