LOCAL CHAPTER FITTINGLY OB
SERVE BIRTHDAY OF JEF
FERSON DAVIS. MRS. NEIL
PRESENTS SPLENDID PAPER,
The birthday oi Jefferson Davis
on June 3rd. was fittingly observed
by.th^ local Chapter U. D. C’s.
In addition to other numbers on
. the program the following splendid
tribute tp. the Confederacy's presi
. dept was presented by Mrs. S. T.
Neil.
JEFFERSON DAVIS
June 3rd, 1920.
.112 years.ago today, away out in
The rural district of Ky. a little life
came, into the wold, to love, to bless,
to suffer and to die. A life, decreed
by fate to touch the destiny of a na¬
tion and leave its impress upon an
unborn world..
We meet today to commemorate
that date and pay tribute to the glo¬
rious heritage that has come to us
through the inspiration and ideals of
that life, in the personality of our
beloved Jefferson Davis.
In Southern hearts he yet lives and
reigns and fills a great niche in the
temple of history and of true great¬
ness.
The world of the dead has made
room for him beside Washington and
Lee and such other truly great men
of the earth.
All true Southerners feel proud
that Jefferson Davis is ours and are
happy to live in a land that gave him
birth, “for he left a name whose echo
from the abyss of time shall rise and
float upon the winds into the far
hereafter. **
The memory of this peerless pa¬
triot and dauntless leader and con¬
secrated gentleman, shall be cherish¬
ed by the people of the South as long
as virtue and valor are reverenced
and loved.
Jefferson Davis, soldier, stateman,
and President of the Confederate
states of America! A man who i* his
person and history symbolized the
solemn convictions and tragic for
tunes millioos of men.
The people of the South remember
with adnuration his gallant service on
the battlefields of Mexico; they are
glad to recall his career in the U. S.
Congress in the House and Senate
where he proved himself worthy ti
be grouped with Clay, Webster, Cai
houn und other giants of an illusiri
ous period; they are proud of hit
record as head of the War Depart¬
ment during the presidency of Frank
lin Pierce, and they cherish the mem
ories that cluster about his stainles
life and character. But more tha.
this, Jefferson Davis won a place ii
in the hearts of the South that pos
toly no other man can fill. For h.
people he went to prison; for thee
ae endured hatred, ignominy am
;hame. For this, he has won their un¬
dying love.
As we contemplate the facts o
his unselfish and magnanimous life
and realize that as representative o
our own Southland he faced thes>
conditions for us, to vindicate th
principles for which we contende.
and to justify our struggle to main
ain them, we bow in reverence an
love and would pay highest tribut
to his hallowed memory.
The record of his life bears test
mony to wonderful deeds^of valo
service and sacrifice, but it si v
simply these facts of history that v
cherish, as great and glorious as the
may be, but it is more than these;
is the ideal and standard of eharaet
and principle that stood firm even i
the face of defeat, slander and sham
—that invisible, unseen power am!
purpose that is more real than ^or.i
or deed, and the greatest tribute w -
can pay to his memory is to inculcate
those virtues into our own characte.
by always standing firm in our con¬
victions at any cost, and to teach oui
children what his life has meant in
shaping the destiny of the South, i:
its conceptions and standards of
right. Jefferson Davis said, “It has
been said that I should apply to the
U. S. for a pardon but repentance
must proceed the right of pardon
I have not repented. Remem
•orinjr as I must, aii which has been
suffered, all which has been lost;
disappointed hopes and crushed 'as
pirations, yet, I deliberately say, if
it were to do over again, I would do
just as 1 did in 1801. Never teach
our children to n*imit that their fa
thers were wrong in their effort
•Maintain the sovereignty, freedom
and the independence which wus
their inalienable right. ii
His contribution to the betterment
of the world and the nation is great.
It represents a life of active service
and loyal devotion and we would
give him all the honor and all the
praise; but even better still than re¬
counting his many achievements,
would be an effort to right some of
the wrongs of misepresented history
that is teaching our boys and girls to
dishonor the principles for which he
contended and for which our heroic
fathers and brothers fought and died.
The South is not given credit for
the part she deserves in the making
of the nation; while she was combat¬
ting the poverty and destruction of
her commonwealth through the “Re¬
construction Period” the North wa
writing the history unmolested and
we of the South have allowed this
history, written from the Northern
view point, with absolute ignorance
of the South and saturated with pre
judice, to be taught in our schools,
with an indifference that is truly
appalling. The text-books now being
used are most unjust to the South:
the history as was written, if accept¬
ed will consign her to infamy. M s
Rutherford states that 80% of the
schools and Colleges in the South are

uging text-books untrue to the South.
We should not be afraid to speak
truth and call injustice by its here-1 pro-j
per name. In failing to do this
tofore, we have been recreant to the
Heritage o.f a noble and heroic an
cestry, and as United Daughters of
the Coufederacy, who would honor
the memory of our noble dead and
! cherish the principles of truth, it be
comes our solemn duty to reinstate
justice on her throne in the South
and stand loyal to her escutcheon.
There is no need for animosity to be
shown, but truth is eternal and
should always be made clear.
Ben Hill said, “we owe it to our
dead, our living and our children to
preserve the truth and repel the
falsehood.” Thos. Nelson Page gave
the South a great warning a few
years ago, when he said “In a few
years, there will be no South to de¬
mand a history, if we leave history
as it is is now written. Falsehood
circulated not only in our own coun¬
try but in foreign countries as well
by such witers as Geo. Creel, Booth,
Tarkington and Dr. Crane. In the
eyes of the world we are esteemed
ignorant, illiterate, cruel; a race
sunken in brutality and vice—a race
of slave drivers who disrupted the
Union in order to perpetuate human
slavery, and who as a people have
contributed nothing to the advance¬
ment of mankind.
In Miss Rutherford’s “Truths of
History" we find many quotations!
aken from histories that will vindi
cate our claim that the South should
lemand corrected text books taught
in our schools.
Davidson’s History “The j
says,
Jamestown Colonists were vicious
and jail birds picked up on the
streets of London. Side by side the
two civilizations had grown up in
America—the one dedicated to pro
gress had kept up with the spirit of
the age—the other a landed anstoc
racy with slavery as the chief ex
cuse for its existence.”
Montgomery's History says; “Geor
gia was settled by filthy, ragged, dir
ty prisoners taken from the “Debtors
Prison” by Ogelthorpe.” %
Nero Twentieth Century Edition
of Encyclopedia Britannica, page 360
American Literature says; “Since the)
Revolution the few thinkers born
South of the Mason and Dixon line
—outnumbered by those belonging
to the single state of Mass.—have
migrated to New York or Boston for
a university training. n
“Smare Set” New York, Feb. 1920.
“The Southern people know no¬
thing of music or the drama and view
a public library merely as something
to be vigorously censored. Lynching
is the only public amusement that
they never denounce.”
“Evening Sun” Baltimore, Md.
Nov 17, 1919.
No really first rate woman or man.
in any field of endeavor lives in Geor¬
gia or ever has lived there. The state
has never produced any one who has
achieved fame: the state is utterly j
without value. It

“Poor Jeff Davis began to feel
like a wandering Jew—a price was
put on his head. He dared rest no
where for fear of meeting the fate
of a traitor—afraid to risk an inter
view with Sherman and not daring
to wait for Johnston’s surrender, he
fled to Charlotte. * *
Muzzy’s “History of the American
People” says; The cause for which
the Confederate soldier fought was a
unworthy cause and should have been
defeated—it is impossible for the
student of history today to think
otherwise.”
