THE DAVIS MEMORIAL
BY DAUGHTERS OF CONFEDERACY
Stately Shaft to Be Erected in Richmond by
Southern Women.
The Morning News prints to-day an
illustration of the design for the Jef
ferson Davis memorial, approved by
the Daughters of the Confederacy at
their recent meeting in Charleston. The
monument is to be erected in Rich
mond. As the Davis Monument Asso
ciation had already accepted the de
sign, this is the plan finally adopted,
and work is expected to begin soon on
this superb memorial to the only pres
ident of the Confederacy. Before this
two other designs had been practically
accepted and for various reasons re
jected.
Mr. William C. Noland, a Richmond
architect, conceived the memorial and
incorporated some of the ideas of Mr.
Edward V. Valentine, the eminent
Southern sculptor, who will execute the
heroic statue of Davis and the figure
of the South that is to cap the central
shaft.
The memorial is a semi-circular col
onnade, formed of a series of fifteen
columns, thirteen of them Doric. The
diameter of the semi-circle is about 52
feet, while from the steps leading to
the floor of the colonnade to the middle
column is approximately 30 feet. The
columns are each about 18 feet high.
The arches between them are to be
adorned by v ’jtorical inscriptions and
by tablets, bearing the coats of arms of
the eleven states which seceded, with
those also of Missouri, Kentucky and
Maryland.
A Semi-Circle of Columns.
In the center of the space, half in
closed by the granite columns, typical
of the confederated states, rises a shaft
of tifty-six feet from its base and more
than five feet in diameter. It is twi;e

belted by bronze plates. These fall
upon the lines where the huge blocks
of granite are cemented, giving the
shaft the appearance of a monolith.
Far up the great pillar, under the
shadow of the capital, is the motto
of the Confederacy, "Deo Vindiee”
("God our Vindicator”).
The bronze belts are relieved in front
by the obverse and reverse sides of
the Gre'at Seal of the Confederacy. The
space between will probably bear an
inscription, possibly “The Confederate
States of America, 1861-1865.” This
and many other details are yet to be
worked out.
Resting upon the capital of the shaft
is a pedestal supporting the female fig
ure of the South. This is to be about
seven feet in hight and from the street
will appear life size.
Bronte Statue of Davis.
In front of the pillars will stand a
heroice bronze statue of President
Jefferson Davis, designed by Mr. Val
entine, the sculptor of the noted statues
of Thomas Jefferson and R. E. Lee.
Mr. Valentine in his model Itas placed
Mr. Davis upon a pedestal nine or ten
feet high, and the figure itself will be
about eight feet high. The President
is represented at a period of life, when
his physical and mental forces were
at their best. Possibly he will be in
the pose of speaking, one hand extend
ed, the other resting upon an open
book lying on a stand beside him.
The site of the memorial, which will
be the most notable of all Richmond’s
monuments, has not yet been selected.
A special committee is to decide on the
location. Several sites are available.
Active work on the monument will
probably begin early in the spring, and
it is believed that the memorial can
be completed within three years.
Of the $70,000 which the monument
will cost, about $63,000 is already in
the fund of the Davis Monument As
sociation and the remainder can be
raised by the women, who have already
secured such a large sum.

to the Governor praying that the de
struction of mongooses may be au
thorized in the island. A quarter of
a century ago the sugar industry of
the Island suffered much from the
depredations of rats, and about 1,878
mongooses were Introduced for the pur
pose of thinning their numbers. These
carnivores discharged their task with
consplcuuous success, but at the same
time they cleared off much of the in
digenous fauna. The destruction of the
lizards has led to a large increase in
the number of moth-borer caterpillars,
which perforate the sugar canes and
