CAPITOL HILL
Washington, D. C.
October 12. 1940
My dear Constituents:
After considering the very im
portant Ramspeck Civil Service
Bill this week the House failed to
agree to some of the Senate a
mendments and it has gone back to
conference, there to remain until
after the election. This, of course.
comes as a keen disappointment
to those of us who supported the
measure, especially Mr. Ramspeck.
After finally passing the appropri
ation for civilian housing in con
nection with the defense works
expansion, and some minor bills,
the House recessed Thursday un
til Monday, the Senate having
done the same.
Our office was honored this
week with some distinguished vis
itors, especially three gallant Con
federate Veterans attired in natty
uniforms of gray who were here
attending the Reunion. They were
Mr. C. M. DuPree, aged 94, Mr. J.
T. Pitman, aged 92, and Mr. W.
H. Culpeper, aged 91, and all are

ant work in behalf of the Confed
erate Veterans for many yeais. In
1923, when I was in the Georgia
Legislature and a member of the
Committee on Invalid pensions and
the Old Soldier's Home, these
same ladies were looking after our
Soldier's Home, and they have not
tired or slowed up during the
years. I remember we had 128
veterans in the Home then—they
have only 8 now. In a few years
all will have “crossed over the
river” to “rest in the shade of the
trees” and bivouac with Stone
wall Jackson, Lee. Gordon and the
other immortals of Southern chiv
alry and valor.
We also received a visit from
one of the South’s most progres
sive and distinguished manufac
turers and business men, Mr. Bry
an M. Blackburn, of the R. D.
Cole Manufacturing Company of
Newnan. Needless to say that his
company, is working harmoniously
with our country’s defense plans.
Mr. and Mrs. Belmont Dennis
of Covington also came to see us.
Mr Dennis is editor of the Cov
ington News, one of the State’s
best papers. He was here attend
ing the reunion as a member of
the Staff of General Howell, Com
mander of the it C. V., and Mrs.
Dennis is a state officer in the
United Daughters of the Confed
eracy.
In speaking of Georgians in the
National Capital, too much praise
could hardly be spoken of those
resentatives of the Press. They
are all most distinguished, and
their ability is universally recog
nized. Alert, discerning, courteous
and affable, a new member soon
grows to love them, and when they
are absent for any reason, they are
sorely missed. We were all griev
