PEOBQIA’8 FAIR COLONEL.
The Hsaar Conferred os Miss Mamie Msrrls
by Governor Candler.
From the Atlanta News.
Colonel Morris, of Chattanooga, so-
oonnted the most fetching soldier that
ever wore a uniform, begs leave to Di
dst that General Robertson was mis
taken when he said Georgia had no
woman colonel—Colonel Morris being a
woman, and a oolonel on the staff of
Governor Candler, of Georgia.
General Robertson’s declaration,
printed In The Dally Newi, oanied con
siderable surprise In Chattanooga and
drew forth, among other oomments, one
from The Times of that olty to the ef-
effeot that the adjutant general of the
state of Georgia should read up on mat
ters oonneoted with his office. The
Times, also in snpport of this remark,
printed the following latter from Gov
ernor Candler to Mayor Watkins, of
Chattanooga:
Honorable Ed Watkins, Mayor, Chat
tanooga, Tenn.
Esteemed SirWe shall ever remem
ber with pleasure and gratitude the
royal reoeption accorded us by the
Georgia Society, of Chattanooga, and
the opurtesies received at the hands ct
Miss Mamie G. Morris, the charming
and efficient secretary of the Georgia
Society.
There Is no law authorizing the ap
pointment of «lady on the regular staff.
The only precedents are' the aotloa of
my predeoeasor in ofiloe. Governor At
klnsou, aiid your distinguished
tive, Governor Taylor. It is like the
order of knighthood whtoli had Its origin
in the days of chivalry. The ruler for-
distinguished servioes required the sub
ject to kneel at his feet and be smitten-
with a sword, and then to "Arise, Sir
Knight.” There was no formal ap
pointment, no commission. The above
oeremony was all there was to it. Be it
was with Miss Morris, except that I did
not require her to kneel at my feet, nor
did I smite her with a sword, (rat, at
Chattanooga, for her assiduous atten
tions, to our party, and for her loyalty to-
her native state, I "dubbed” her lieu
tenant oolonel then and there, os was
tho onstom in oonforrlng the order of
knighthood.
Miss Morris is an intelligent and amia
ble yonng woman, and shall hehooforth-
be reoognized as a "Georgia oolonel,"
and right proud are we of our fair Ten
nessee representative.
Cordially yonra,
A. D. OaNDLUH)
Governor of Georgia. Executive Man
sion.
Whereas it appears that, after- all!
Georgia does, of a troth, posses*. the
honor of having a fair genuine colonel,
and that Miss Mamie Morris, of Chatta
nooga, is that offioer.
