report.

PRESIDENT'S REPORT

Daughters of the North Carolina Division:

A year ago you conferred upon me your highest office and when
I responded to your call I knew that with the honor went many
duties and a very grave responsibility. The responsibility has
been ever present with me, but I do assure you that a labor of
love has its joys, and joy born of service in a cause so worthy
is compensation. To serve, to guard the interests of and to pro-
mote the work in a constructive way has been my desire and effort.
I have found the most loyal co-operation in my Executive Board,
whose one thought has been for service.

As we assemble for our twenty-fifth Convention our hearts are
grieved because of the death of our beloved General James I.
Metts, which occurred in Wilminton the eighteenth of this month.
His place in our hearts and in our Conventions can never be filled.
A beautiful laurel wreath and messages of sympathy were sent
from the Division.

During the year we have been bereft of on of our honorary
presidents, Mrs. J. Bryan Grimes, whose last summons came to
•her in Raleigh. A floral tribute was sent from the Division.

A floral tribute was also sent to Mrs. R. P. Holt, our Third

United Daughters of the Confederacy 17

Vice-President General, as an expression of sympathy in the death
of her mother, Mrs. Whitehead, which occurred at the home of
Mrs. Holt, Rocky Mount.

Sympathy has also been expressed to Miss Mary Mabry of Albe-
marle, our Third Vice-President, who is bereaved of her father,
Colonel Mabry.

According to a ruling of the last Convention the Second and
Third Vice-Presidents have had specific duties; the Second serving
as Chairman of Education and the Third as Publicity Chairman.
The latter has been very successful in securing the co-operation
of the press in keeping before the public U. D. C. activities and
interests. She has also endeavored to increase the number who
read the Confederate Veteran, and to that end has offered a prize
for the largest number of new subscriptions. The Veteran is the
property of the Confederate Organizations and deserves a place
in every Southern home.

Aulander Chapter, Aulander, and Cary Chapter, Cary, organ-
ized last year, have this year been chartered. Ahoskie Chapter,
Ahoskie; Col. G. F. Whitfield Chapter, LaGrange; Rebecca Win-
borne Chapter, Farmville; and Lee County Chapter, Sanford,
have been organized and chartered, thus making six new chapters
to welcome into the Division. Three chapters have been rein-
stated— Scotland, Pamlico and Gatesville. With nine chapters
added to our working forces, we may expect even greater things
and in a measure, compensation for those reported dead.

The membership drive has been continued with the result that
864 certificates have been signed. Besides this, has been the reg-
istration of old members. This task seemed overwhelming but
when once taken up the mountain of difficulty gradually disap-
peared and the result is most gratifying as your hard-worked
Registrar will tell you. You may be pleased to know that your
Director of Children's Work has been judged by the Third Vice-
President General the most efficient of all her Directors. Regis-
tration has been a part of this work as her report will show. Eight
new chapters have been organized and it has pleased me to sign

Children of the Confederacy certificates. It was my pleasure

to be present when the Frank Bennet Chapter Children of the
Confederacy so beautifully entertained the Seventh District Meet-
ing. What splendid training and encouragement for these chil-
dren who are to be the Daughters of tomorrow!

More and more the District work is a necessary part of our
Organization. To the Directors credit is due for a great part of
the work accomplished. To them I have turned when I
wished to know the pulse of the activities of the Division.

18 Minutes of the Twenty-fifth Annual Convention

Because of the many calls for work that have crowded the year
this has been a throbbing pulse and the Director who receives for
her District the Lane Banner, will know that the honor was not
easily won. Of the fifteen District Meetings held this year it has
been my pleasure to be present at ten. From the coast to far into
the mountains I have mingled with the Daughters, and as your
President, have been the recipient of most generous hospitality
and many courtesies. I have been glad to find and to encourage
interests within the Districts. The special cares taken over by some
of them and the prizes offered within are not only inspirational to
but constructive in the life of the District.

Your Recorder of Crosses reports one hundred and ten Crosses
of Honor bestowed.

Only one Chapter Year-Book has come to me and this was a
splendid one from Bethel Heroes Chapter, Rocky Mount. The
convenience and helpfulness of these year-books deserve the con-
sideration of every chapter.

In the early part of the year it was my pleasure to visit our
two Confederate Homes. At that time the Soldiers' Home was in
dire need of repair but as a Division we have cause to rejoice over
the increase in the state appropriations for the maintenance of
the two Homes and also for an improvement fund for the Soldiers'
Home. We must ever hold in grateful remembrance the Veterans
and Legislators who joined the Daughters in the effort to secure
these appropriations and to increase the Pension Bill to one mil-
lion dollars. A full report of this work will be given by the Chair-
man of this committee, who, with her co-workers, gave so un-
sparingly of time and work in this behalf. That our men and
women of the sixties, whose lives have in this way been touched
are more comfortable and happy because of the success of all
these efforts is not to be questioned. And the Daughters are hap-
pier because "happiness is a perfume you can not pour on others
without getting a few drops yourself." With this thought in mind
we remember the various gifts which go into these two homes
from the Chapters of the State, reports of which you will hear
through the interested Chairman of the Homes. Both the U. D. C.
and C. of C. Chapters of Raleigh and Fayetteville are very atten-
tive to the members of these homes, finding great pleasure in con-
tributing in various ways to their comfort and pleasure. For your
consideration is the great need of a better system of water works
for the Woman's Home. Also the Home is filled with members
and there are many on the waiting list. The feebleness of these
' dear old women requires conveniences and more downstairs room.
Can any appeal be more worthy? In ministering unto these we

United Daughters of the Confederacy 19

honor ourselves.

The most gratifying r?ports come from our work at the Mont-
rose Sanatorium and it ha? been a pleasure to approve the state-
ments, which amount to forty-eight or fifty dollars each month.

This year very attractive lists of prizes, including historical,
membership, all-round chapter work and C. of C. prizes, have con-
fronted you whenever you have opened your Division Minutes at
pages 101 and 102. Some of these are offered this year for the
first time and I trust they have been a new incentive to work
throughout the state. Besides these some of the prizes offered
by the General organization have been competed for.

The effort to eliminate Muzzy's History from our schools and
to prevent the entrance of other objectionable histories has awak-
ened widespread interest and we have the active co-operation of
the Veterans and Sons of Veterans. Daughters, I commend this
to you as one of the most important phases of our work. Our
children should no longer be the victims of such gross misrepre-
sentations as are found in Muzzy's and other school histories. We
ask only for truthful and impartial historv. The South neither
wants nor needs any unmerited glory.

You will remember that Gettysburg was to be our chief effort in
Division work this year, and in this behalf you have had the most
earnest appeals from your Director. It was also decided that an
effort be made to finish the Stars and Bars Memorial this year.
You will be glad to know that at the Thirteenth District Meeting,
held in Wilson, the marker erected to the memory of Mrs. Rebecca
M. Winborne, maker of the first Confederate Flag, was unveiled
with the most beautiful and impressive ceremonies. It was my
privilege to receive it for the Division and to turn it over to the
loving care of the John W. Dunham Chapter.

At the General Convention in Asheville, the Divisions were
urged to complete this year the Hero Fund and the fund for
the Jefferson Davis Monument. Notwithstanding the general
financial depression, these calls were placed before you in con-
fidence that you would make every effort to measure up to the
required standard. The results are at least worth every effort
put forth. The $1,962.19 for the Hero Fund assures our Divi-
sion of another scholarship. Your Chairman of Education has
an interesting report to make on this and the state work.

Five hundred and fifty-four dollars have been collected for
the Jefferson Davis Monument. You are familiar with the
plan to finish this monument. When completed it will be the
second highest monument in the world. The Veterans are look-
ing to the Daughters to complete this work and we have cove-

20 Minutes of the Twenty- fifth Annual Convention

nanted with them and must not fail them. Our State Chairman
for this monument is also the General Chairman and you will
hear from her.

Much interest was manifested in the Cunningham Memorial,
the Maury Memorial and the Jefferson Davis Highway, and
Directors for these causes have been and will be heard from.

The collection of the records of our soldiers who served in the
world war is the perpetuation of Confederate History. In order
to keep this interest stimulated, your Director has again offered
a prize to the chapter sending in the largest number of recoi-ds.

Our Book, "Women of the South in War Times," and the
Publicity fund for that book have a very creditable showing in
our Division. An effort has been made to place a copy of this
book in every College of our state, and I trust that this will be
accomplished.

A resolution was passed at the General Convention that "the
local chapters of the U. D. C. endeavor to have sung in churches
throughout the South on the Sunday before the third of June,
the birthday of President Jefferson Davis, the hymn, "How Firm
a Foundation," and on the Sunday before the nineteenth of
January, the birthday of General Robert E. Lee, the hymn,
"Jesus Lover of My Soul." This request was made of every
chapter. Also as this Division celebrates Lee-Jackson on Jan-
uary nineteenth, I requested that on the Sunday preceding this
date, a favorite hymn of Stonewall Jackson be added. These
requests were observed in many churches of the state.

You will remember that the Bodleian Library work proved
so successful that the President General recommended the ex-
tension of this work to other foreign countries, and we now
have appeals before us for the American Library of Paris. A
suggestion came to me that our Division might do something
for this Library in Paris as a memorial to Kiffin Rockwell.
After consulting with the Executive Board, it was decided that
a Tar Heel Library and a State Flag would make a suitable
memorial. This will be presented to you in due form.

My work during this year has been interspersed with many
pleasures that have come to me as your President. I am in-
debted to the two Asheville chapters for courtesies shown me
during the General Convention, and to the Hostess Chapters of
the District Meetings which it has been my pleasure to attend.
I have been an honor guest at beautiful receptions given by the
chapters at Gastonia, Rocky Mount, Tarboro, Kings Mountain,
•Concord and Albemarle. Among my first official duties was the
very pleasant one of representing you at the D. A. R. Conven-

United Daughters of the Confederacy 21

tion which met in Tarboro last November. On May the tenth,
that beautiful day which is the keepsake of the Daughters of
the Confederacy, I was pleased to be the guest of the William Dor-
sey Pender Chapter of Tarboro and to make the memorial address.
On the afternoon of the same day I attended the funeral of a valued
charter member of the Chapter when the Veterans attended
in a body as honorary pall-bearers. While at Tarboro
I was a member of a house party composed of General
Officers and ex-Presidents, given by Mrs. Jacksie D. Thrash
at her home, Cromwell Hall. On the eleventh we were the
guests of the Division Historian at a luncheon given at her
home, Hilma. In the afternoon of the same day we were the
honorees at a reception given by Mrs. Thrash, who numbered
among her guests, Veterans in the revered grey uniform and
Daughters from the chapters of the District. On the follow-
ing day we were guests of the Bethel Heroes Chapter, Rocky
Mount, at the home of our beloved Honorary President, Mrs. M.
O. Winstead.

It was not possible to attend the State Federation of Women's
Clubs at Wrightsville Beach and the honor of representing you
at this Convention was delegated to the First Vice-President,
Mrs. Thomas Hyman. I shall always regret that I was unable
to attend the Reunion of the Confederate Veterans at Durham,
but you were represented by your Recording Secretary, Mrs.
John H. Anderson. It was also with genuine regret that I
declined the invitation to be present at the unveiling of the
Confederate Monument at Yanceyville on September tenth.
Other invitations have come to me which I could not accept —
some of them because of conflicting dates.

Outside of the regular work of the year many appeals have
come to me — one of the first, and one that greatly interested me,
was from the President of the Southern Club, Indianapolis, Ind.,
stating that there is in that city a monument erected to the
memory of the Confederate Soldiers who died at Camp Mor-
ton; that this monument is a handsome one, but because it
stands in a most undesirable location this small Club has under-
taken to move it to one of the most beautiful parks of the city.
This will cost about two thousand dollars and the Club is ask-
ing the U. D. C. to assist them by contributing to the fund on a
basis of a dollar and a half for every soldier buried there from
the contributing state. North Carolina has thirty-six and 1
have the list of names which were copied from the monument.
Recently this effort has been investigated and recommended to
the Daughters by our President General. After consulting the

22 Minutes of the Twenty-fifth Annual Convention

Executive Board, I placed this in the hands of a Daughter, with
the request that, if possible, this fifty-four dollars be collected
from interested individuals and chapters.

During the year it came to my notice that the annual expense
of keeping in repair the grounds around the North Carolina
Monument at Appomattox had fallen to General Metts. I con-
sulted him and he said that this expense would mean a little
more than ten or twelve dollars per year. He had paid the
amount for this year, but would like very much to turn this
work over to the Daughters of the Confederacy. Today this
comes to us as a last request from one whose memory will ever
abide with us as a loving benediction.

I do not ask that you take action on suggestions that have
come to you in this report, as resolutions for endorsement will
be presented to you in due form. But Daughters, I do ask you
to remember that we have a great work before us. We are no
mere dreamers, but members of a great organization, whose
builders have "dipped into the future far as human eye could
see" and with hope and confidence are working together for
the highest good of our country — we would have all the world
know of and share in the glories and the beauties of the history
of our Southland. May we remember that as the love of Christ
constraineth us in our Christian lives so his love kindles within
us that love of home, love of country which thrills and awakens
in us a desire to pledge ourselves anew to the tasks that are
ours. Then let us faint not nor grow weary in our well-doing
but rather let us take to our hearts a lesson from the ways of
the Tapestry Weavers,

"Above their heads their pattern hangs,
They study it with care,
And while their fingers deftly work
Their eyes are fastened there."

So let us ever keep before us the bright star of our endeavor
and then when our weaving is finished and the web is loosed
and turned, may our children and our children's children read
and know that we, too, have looked above for our pattern, and,
looking above no weaver need have fear.

Respectfully submitted,

Mrs. Thomas W. Wilson,
President N. C. Division U. D. C.

On motion of Mrs. J. M. Gudger, this splendid report
was accepted by rising vote of thanks, and appreciation
was given by Mrs. H. A. London and Mrs. Marshall Wil-

United Daughters of the Confederacy 23

liams of the President's report and splendid work for
the Division.

The Recording Secretary read her report.

REPORT OF RECORDING SECRETARY

Madam President and Daughters of the Confederacy:

The first work of my second term of office as your Recording
Secretary was securing bids from three printers for the Minutes
of this Division. After consulting with our President, the con-
tract was awarded to the Queen City Printing Company, of
Charlotte, who gave the best prices and furnished most satis-
factory and prompt work. Copies were mailed to all whom our
Constitution states shall have them, with a few extra ones to
Hall of History, Confederate Museum, State University, etc.
Owing to the increased amount of work reported last year the
Minutes were fuller than usual, hence the expense of printing
greater.

A typewritten list of Chapter Officers of the Division was
sent to the Secretary General for the General Minutes.

The full set of Minutes of this Division was sent me by Mrs.
Marshall Williams, and will be passed on to the incoming Record-
ing Secretary, as recommended by me at the last Convention.

Six new chapters have been chartered and eight Children's
Chapters registered. I have signed and placed the Seal of the
Division on a large number of Children's Certificates.

In August, at the request of our President, who was too ill
to attend, I extended Greetings for the Division to the United
Confederate Veterans at their Reunion in Durham. This was
a great privilege and as representative of the Division, I re-
ceived many courtesies from the Veterans and from the Juliajt
S. Carr Chapter, whose guest I was. I had the pleasure of
reading to the Veterans a poem, written by our poet-laureate,
Mrs. Thomas M. Brockman of Gastonia, and dedicated to this
North Carolina Reunion.

In September I sent out Convention Calls, Credential and
Report Blanks, also a card to each chapter saying that I had
mailed these. I have written a number of letters and cards
(too many to count exactly) and have always tried to be prompt.
The office of Recording Secretary of the Division is very strenu-
ous but to the best of my ability I have discharged these duties.
This Organization is very dear to me and as I surrender this
office, I wish to thank our President for her constant sympathy
and co-operation and my fellow-workers for their interest and

24 Minutes of the Tiventy-fifth Annual Convention

unfailing courtesy. I shall ever cherish the ties of friendship
among the Daughters of the North Carolina Division.
Respectfully submitted,
(Mrs. John H.) Lucy London Anderson,
Recording Secretary N. C. Dvision U. D. C.

Mrs. F. M. Williams moved that this report be accepted
and gave an appreciation of the work of the Recording
Secretary.

There was a rising vote of thanks to the Secretary.

Mrs. F. M. Williams asked that the Corresponding Sec-
retary send note to Mrs. M. 0. Winsted and Mrs. John
Thorpe, our Honorary Vice-Presidents, and Mrs. E. E.
Moffitt of Richmond, Honorary President.

Mrs. Williams also suggested that steps be taken to re-
duce the amount of printing in the minutes, and offered
the following motion :

"Moved: To allow the President and Recording Secretary to
cull from the Minutes any matters not pertaining to business."

Much discussion followed. The motion being seconded
was put to a rising vote, which resulted as follows: In
favor of motion, 67; against, 36; motion declared by the
Chair to be carried.

The Corresponding Secretary read telegrams of greet-
ing from the following: Mrs. L. F. Long, State Treas-
urer, Newton; Mrs. C. F. Harvey, Kinston; Mrs. Charles
Z. Candler, Sylva.

The report of the Corresponding Secretary, Mrs. D. M
Jones of Gastonia, was read and on motion, duly accepted.

CORRESPONDING SECRETARY'S REPORT

Madam President and Daughters of the Confederacy:

In coming to you with a report I wish first to express my
great pleasure and sincere appreciation of the privilege of hav-
ing some small part in a work so noble and grand as that of the
United Daughters of the Confederacy and to thank you for

United Daughters of the Confederacy 25

your pi-ompt and hearty response at all times. Since October,
1920, I have written six hundred and thirty-four (634) letters;
one hundred and eighty-seven (187) post-cards, and one (1)
telegram.

Respectfully submitted,

Mrs. D. M. Jones,
Corresponding Secretary N. C. Division U. D. C.

In the absence of the Treasurer, the totals of the Treas-
urer's report were read by the Recording- Secretary.

Mrs. D. G. Bell, Registrar, read the following report:

REGISTRAR'S REPORT

Madame President and Daughters of the Confederacy:

Since last October in New Bern when you conferred upon me
the honor of serving you as your Registrar I have looked forward
to this time when I should bring back to you an account of the
year's work, and have lived in the hope that when I came before
you I might greet you with the identical words with which Mrs.
Fisher greeted you on last Convention day, "No Registrar ever
came to Convention happier than I." Those words have been
ringing in my ears these three hundred and sixty-five days. Often
have I become discouraged and felt that this year's report was
going to be found lacking when weighed in the balance, but
Madame President and Daughters I, too, can exclaim with your
Registrar of last year, "No Registrar ever came to Convention
happier than I," because not only have all new registrations been
exceeded but three thousand seven hundred and forty-seven old

34 Minutes of the Twenty-fifth Annual Convention

members of the Division have been re-registered, something of
itself alone, to bring pride to every U. D. C. Nine hundred forty-
nine registries have been recorded, which is one hundred twenty-
two more than last year. Of these 950, 817 were new
members added to the Division by application. Twenty-
six were by demit from other States, three by re-instatement.
Thirty-three were old members of Chapters supposed to be on
State roll but never registered, while forty-six registries were
transfers of members from one Chapter to another. Twenty-one
certificates have been secured for members never having received
one. Six new Chapters have been organized during the year. Aulan-
der Chapter, Aulander, reported last year but not registered,
thereby not becoming a Chapter of the Division until this year;
Cary Chapter, Cary; Ahoskie Chapter, Ahoskie; Rebeccah Win-
borne, Farmville; Lee County, Sanford, and Col. G. F. D. Whitfield,
LaGrange. These six new Chapters bring to the Division one
hundred thirty-eight members. Application blanks sent out this
year have been seventeen thousand nine hundred and sixty, with
orders for fully one thousand more but the supply just now is
exhausted. The triple application blanks for old members that
have passed through your Registrar's hands and have been signed
by her have been three thousand seven hundred and forty-seven.
I am indeed glad to report so many Chapters having responded
to the call of our President in this matter and believe before an-
other Convention that every active Chapter in the Division will
be registered. The prize offered this year for the greatest increase
in membership goes to the Abel A. Shuford Chapter, Hickory,
that Chapter having gained fifty-one members; while the per-
centage prize is claimed by the Fort Macon Chapter, Beaufort,
having made the greatest percentage of increase.

Below is a statement of the membership of Chapters showing a
total of six thousand one hundred eighty-six members.

b& Minutes of the Twenty-fifth Annual, Convention

On motion of Mrs. H. A. London, the above report was
accepted, and a rising vote of thanks tendered Mrs. Bell
for her fine work. Mrs. London also commended the
work of Mrs. F. M. Williams, Registrar General.

Mrs. F. M. Williams spoke of her work as Registrar
General, and stated that she would now redeem her prom-
ise made in New Bern last year, to give a prize to the
Chapter Registrar sending in the first fully registered
applications from her Chapter. This was presented to
Mrs. Emma Wallace of New Bern, who sent in these
papers two weeks after the offer was made. Mrs. Wal-
lace not being present, Mrs. Hyman was asked to take it
to her. Mrs. Williams presented to Mrs. Bell and Mrs.
Wallace of Morehead City, who had been her "right hand"
in this work, copies of the Historical Addresses of Miss
Mildred Rutherford, a former Historian General.

Mrs. Bell and Mrs. Wallace received and acknowledged
these with thanks.

Mrs. R. H. Latham, of the Local Chapter, on behalf of
the "Morning Journal" presented to each of the delegates
a copy of Wednesday's issue of that newspaper, a sou-
venir eopy of the "Sentinel" having been sent to each dele-
gate, previous to her arrival.

The Second Vice-President, Mrs. Peter Gorrell. by
virtue of her office, Chairman of Educational Committee,
read her report.

REPORT OF THE EDUCATIONAL COMMITTEE

Madam President and Felloiv Members of the Confederacy:

It is with pleasure the Educational Committee brings you the
report for the past year.

It has been the burning desire of the Committee to put the Edu-
cational Work on a business basis, with application blanks printed
for this purpose, to be used for applications for scholarships, also
printed lists of State Scholarships and Printed lists of State
Prizes, so that when information is desired by any Chapter we will
have it on file for you.

United Daughters of the Confederacy 39

When the present Committee came into office we lost much time
seeking knowledge concerning our work, as no reports or litera-
ture of any kind were handed over to us. We had to educate
ourselves first, and in return we trust the fruit of our labor will
bear results in the coming year and the work for the Educational
Committee will be a labor of love and ease instead of a labor of
love with the burden of a multiplicity of letters.

We appeal to every District Leader and every Chapter President
to stand by your North Carolina Division and answer at once every
appeal which comes to you in an educational way. We have lost
several Scholarships by leaving them vacant, but we are glad to
report the renewal of the Trinity College Scholarship, also the
Flora McDonald. All scholarships are filled for the following year.

The Hero Fund of $50,000.00 with North Carolina's part $1.15
per capita, we have laid especial stress on. We would draw atten-
tion to the fact that the interest was to be used only for two or
three years as a gift fund for soldiers, and then to revert to the
original purpose as a loan fund for girls and boys of Confederate
lineage and that in addition to its use to further educate, it is a
memorial to our soldiers of the World War.

This is an urgent call and we have placed the call to you
through letters to every Chapter President and again through your
District Leaders and again I appeal to you in person with aU
the fervor of my heart and soul to go home and demand your Chap-
ter to meet her quota. North Carolina, we feel, must pay her part
as she has always done before. We have paid $3,624.53 to data
Remainder to be paid $975.47. We have in use one of the Hero
Scholarships now. Charles L. Nichols of Brevard is using it to-
ward obtaining a law course at the University of North Carolina.
He saw service as second lieutenant with the Infantry Replacement
and Training Troops at Camp Grant and later as Transport Per-
sonnel Adjutant from Hoboken.

Six Division Scholarships are held at the North Carolina Col-
lege for Women at Greensboro, viz:

Miss Nell Craig Gastonia

Miss Margaret Bridges Tarboro

Miss Helen Dunn Creasy Wilmington

Miss Lorena Kelly Wilkesboro

Miss Mary K. Liles Wadesboro

Miss Eva Lee Sink Linwood

Moffitt Loan held by Miss Olive Webb, Oxford.

A. and E. Scholarship held by Oliver Crary of Brevard.

ham, N. C.

Again appealing to every Chapter President, every District
Leader, yea every Daughter to aid the Educational Committee in
forwarding the wonderful work of Education in our grand Old
North State and thanking each and every Daughter for their hearty
support and co-operation the past year, we beg to remain always
faithful to the charge entrusted to us.

Respectfully submitted.

Mrs. Peter A. Gorrell, Chairman,
Mrs. O. Max Gardner,
Mrs. Thomas W. Wilson.

This fine report was accepted with thanks.

Mrs. F. M. Williams moved : That the $620.00 now in
the hands of the Division Treasurer, left over from the
General Convention Entertainment Fund, be turned over
to the Hero Fund." After discussion the motion was
carried.

Mrs. Gorrell stated that she had assumed the obliga-
tion of the amount remaining due on this pledge, but she
hoped that the Chapters that have not paid their propor-
tional part will do so. The President stated she would go
to St. Louis with an added thrill of pleasure now that the
"Hero Fund" had been raised.

The report of the Third Vice-President, and Publicity
Chairman. Miss Mary Mabry, was read.

REPORT OF THIRD VICE-PRESIDENT

Madam President and Members of Convention:

My duties as Third Vice-President have been few. However,

United Daughters of the Confederacy 41

I have tried to interest those with whom I have come in contact
by discussing the wonderful work of the Daughters of the Con-
federacy, and have found so many people entirely ignorant of
what the organization is doing.

As Chairman of Publicity I have not accomplished as much as
I would have liked. According to instructions I endeavored to es-
tablish bi-monthly the U. D. C. Column, by sending typewritten
articles to the three leading State papers, the Raleigh News and
Observer, the Charlotte Observer and the Greensboro News, but
in this I was unsuccessful in getting them published regularly.
I trust that my efforts have not been in vain, but the impress of
my work will be seen and felt later. To those who assisted me in
the work by sending the activities of their Chapters, reports of
District Meetings and other information I wish to express my
thanks and appreciation and assure them that every item was
incorporated in my articles.

I would like to recommend that each Chapter elect or appoint
a Publicity Chairman, her duty being to send the important move-
ments of her Chapter to the State Chairman in order that she
might get the inforation first hand and avoid repetition.

I have sent five typewritten articles to "The Veteran," and wrote
thirty-two letters to the District Directors urging them to push
the subscriptions in their District to "The Veteran,'' also offered
a prize of $5.00 in gold to the District that made the greatest gain
in new subscribers during the year ending October 20, 1921.
Respectfully submitted,

Mary E. Mabry,
Third Vice-President.

This was accepted with appreciation.

Mrs. F. M. Williams moved to name three scholarships,
respectively, "Ella Broadnax, Orren Randolph Smith, and
H. L. Riggins." It being seconded was accepted.

The report of the Recorder of Crosses, Mrs. S. M. Kar-
rell, in her absence, was read by the Recording Secretary.

REPORT OF RECORDER OF CROSSES

Madam President and Daughters of the United Confederacy:

As your Recorder of Crosses I beg to give the following report:

There has been a slight increase this year over last year in the

number of Crosses given, the total being one hundi*ed and ten,

42 Minutes of the Twenty-fifth Annual Convention

Asheville 104 bestowing twenty of these. This Chapter led in this
line last year.

I have taken real pride and joy in giving the Division my best
service, answering all calls immediately. The memory of the two
years I have been in office will be an abiding pleasure to me. and
the support of all of the Daughters has made my work delightful.

Moved and carried that this be accepted.

The report of the Executive Committee was read by
the Recording Secretary, and on motion, the recommenda-
tions were voted on ad seriatim.

RECOMMENDATIONS OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

The Executive Board with Mrs. Thomas W. Wilson presiding,
on Tuesday afternoon, after a beautiful luncheon given by Mes-
dames H. L. Riggins and Peter A. Gorrell. The following recom-
mendations were presented and adopted by the Executive Com-
mittee :

' 1. That the Division take over the care of the grounds around
the North Carolina Monument at Appomattox, which heretofore

United Daughters of the Confederacy 43

the late General J. I. Metts has personally cared for.

2. Kecommended : That the Children's Chapters take as their
special work connecting the water for the Confederate Women's
Home at Fayetteville.

3. Recommended: That the Chapters complete the required
amount, $54.00, required for removing the Confederate Monument
at Indianapolis to a more suitable location.

4. Recommended: That all chapters use the loose leaf binders.

5. Recommended: That two demits be required, inasmuch as
the files have been adopted and demits as well as papers should
be filed.

6. Recommended: That the educational work be placed on a
business basis, the plan to be left in the hands of the Educational
Committee.

Respectfully submitted,

Lucy London Anderson,

Recording Secretary.

In regard to the fifth recommendation in the report of
the Executive Committee, it was amended to read "three"
demits instead of "two."

The fourth article, in regard to loose leaf binders, was
only a suggestion, and did not require a vote.

All other recommendations were duly adopted.

It was moved that the reading of the Constitution be
taken up Thursday morning, immediately after the read-
ing of the Minutes, and be continued until finished, with
the exception of the Memorial hour and election of offi-
cers. Carried.

The meeting adjourned for luncheon at the Zinzendorf
Hotel, given by the Civitan Club, 1 P. M.

FIRST DAY — Afternoon Session

The afternoon session was called to order by the Presi-
dent at 2:30 P. M.

The Historian, Mrs. J. L. Bridgers, read the following

44 Minutes of the Twenty-fifth Annual Convention

report :

STATE HISTORIAN'S REPORT

Another year of our work has gone down into history, and while
we have not accomplished all of our desired ends, the general
condition of the historical department is good. Quite a number of
Chapters have responded nobly, especially the newer Chapters, and
it is most satisfactory to observe the earnest interest manifested
throughout the Division. We have had six contests for the hand-
some prizes offered by devoted daughters, and the response to
these has been most gratifying. The papers all show earnest
research and interest. There have been quite a number entered
for each contest.

Early in January copies of State and General Prizes were sent
to each Chapter President and Historian, also copies of regula-
tions governing the prize on "Peace." We have submitted to the
Historian General seven essays contesting for General Division
Prizes, and one for the "Peace" prize.

Our most extensive work has been our effort to eliminate Muzzy's
History from our schools, and our thanks are due our Text Book
Committee for the progress made on this line. Numbers of Chap-
ters have written me on this matter, one said "as long as we
have our present Superintendent Muzzy's will not be taught in
our school."

As your State Historian, I do heartily and earnestly recommend
that this Convention authorize and direct our Corresponding Sec-
retary to mail to each Chamber of Commerce, Kiwanis Club, Rotary
Club, Civitan Club, the Grand Lodge of Masons, the State Councilor
of the Junior Order of United American Mechanics, the State
Chairman of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and such
other orders and societies in the State of North Carolina as may
be deemed expedient, a copy of our report and resolution con-
demning the use of Muzzy's History in the public schools of our
State, and urgently asking their co-operation both by appropriate
resolutions and such other action as they may see fit to take, toward
the elimination of this unfair and unjust history from the list of
text books which the present State Board of Education has directed
to be used in all public schools of the State, and thereby allowing
to future generations the opportunity to learn only the true his-
tory of the State of North Carolina.

In response to a request from our President General that the
North Carolina Division contribute the "Library of Southern Lit-
erature" to the American Library in Paris, we are proud to re-
port that through the efforts of Mrs. Charles Lee Smith these

United Daughters of the Confederacy

books have been procured. It is also suggested that North Carolina
do something for this library as memorial to Kiffin Rockwell, our
own aviator, who was one of the first to give his life for the cause,
and a "Tar Heel Library" and one of the State Flags could be
placed there and constitute this memorial, and from time to time
North Carolina books could be added. I had hoped to have a list
of North Carolina authors and their publishers to submit to tht
Chapters but so far have not been able to secure this. Each
chapter could take this up as a line of work for the next year; 1
have already a number of books given me by individuals, whici
could be a nucleus for this "Tar Heel Library."

Respectfully submitted,

Mrs. John L. Bridgers,

This was accepted with thanks.

Mrs. Strayhorn, Director of Children's Chapters, read
her report as follows :

you love and greetings from the Children of the Confederacy, and
to tell you something of the work accomplished by them.

We bring you the names of eight new Chapters: The Charles

Morehead City; the Eva Campbell Davis Chapter, Weldon; the
Jacob A. Long Chapter, Graham ; the Belle Wilfong Chapter, New-
ton; the Joseph Kinsey Chapter, LaGrange; the Anne Carter Lee
Chapter, Beaufort, and the Col. S. B. Taylor Chapter, Jacksonville.
This brings the number of registered Chapters to 42, and I regret
to tell you there are still 19 unregistered. Appeal after appeal
has been made, but they will not respond. We have registered
1,026 members this year, making our total membership 1,652;
more than double what it was last year. Thirty-five (35) State,
and 998 General Certificates have been issued; ri6 Historical Papers
collected, and $3,002.00 given to the various causes.

That the interest of the children in Historical work is being
awakened, is shown in the fact that a number of splendid papers
have been sent in on each of the five subjects for which prizes were
offered. The donors of the prizes should feel that they have ac-
complished much, and we hope their offer will be continued, for
surely it is of greatest importance that we teach our boys and
girls the traditions, the history and ideals of the Old South.

I have striven hard to make this year a year worth while to
the organization, and in closing wish to thank the Leaders, my
co-workers, for the loyal support they have given me, for without
their help I could have done nothing. All along the line the work
has taken on new life. Excellent reports have been sent in, chil-
dren are enthusiastic, Leaders, and even some of the Mother Presi-
. dents, have caught the vision of what the C. ut ^. iiieans to the
mother Organization, and we long to see the time when there wiu

United Daughteis of the Confederacy 47

be a C. of C. Chapter in every town in North Carolina. Every-
where the cry is for Leaders; plenty of good material, but no one
to do the work. I beg of you, Daughters of the Confederacy, rally
to the children's cause.

Respectfully submitted,

Mrs. H. G. Strayhorn,
Director of Children's Work.

REPORT OF THE CHAIRMAN OF THE SOLDIERS' HOME

COMMITTEE

Madam President and Daughters of the Confederacy:

It is with great pride and satisfaction that I come before you
this year to report twelve months of strenuous and unfailingly
successful work and to make my acknowledgement through you to
the people of this State for their appreciative loyalty to high cour-
age, patriotism and genuine love of liberty of their forefathers.
From none have we asked in vain — from man, woman and child
we have received the most cordial and appreciative co-operation
and interest — and to the press, especially to the women who are
doing newspaper work, we owe an immense debt of gratitude.
Through their interest and ability and the splendid publicity they
have given our work, we have been able to bring to all the people
throughout the State a knowledge of the true condition and needs
of the Soldiers' Home. If the Home seemed for a time to have
drifted into the back waters of popular interest, it was simply
because the people for years had had no means of becoming intelli-
gently informed as to its needs and the machinery by which they
might be supplied. Just before Christmas last year, Miss Nell
Battle Lewis made with me a visit to the Home on a bleak and
desolate, rainy day. Her story in the News and Observer, which
we sent out to every Chapter in the State, brought in the very
generous response that made a most happy Christmas possible.
The General Assembly for 1921 met with its Legislators pretty
well informed through their women folks as to the needs of the
Home, as set forth in her article. No longer were they a matter
of doubt or question; in black and white they had been put down
for every man to vertify. With the opening of the General Assem-
bly, began the campaign for the long sought and much needed

50 Minutes of the Twenty-fifth Annual Convention

repairs at the Home. Year after year these needs have grown
greater and year after year had the hope of obtaining all that we
felt so urgent grown less. In January the State Department of
Community Service made a picture of the presentation by Manly's
Battery of the Crosses of Honor to the Veterans of the Home on
General Lee's birthday, and Miss Susan Ideum, of the Raleigh
Times, wrote for her paper an account of the making of the film,
heading her story with an appeal to the General Assembly to
send at once to the Home a quantity of huge umbrellas, if it
were too poor to furnish it with a new roof. Convinced with the
importance of immediate relief, the Assembly appointed a joint
committee of five gentlemen to inspect the Home: Mr. Gallert,
Mr. Matthews, of Mecklenburg. Mr. Cowles, and Mr. Connor,
Chairman. Earlier in the session we appeared before a Commit-
tee on Appropriation composed of members of both Houses, with
Mr. Everett, of Rockingham, Chairman, and obtained through
their interest an appropriation of $30,000.00 for remodeling and
repairs; the Joint Committee sent to inspect the Home approved
this appropriation and raised it to $35,000.00, but $30,000.00 is
the amount finally obtained. General Carr, who had appeared
with Col. Armistead Jones and myself before the Joint Commit-
tee on Appropriations, and worked untiringly throughout the ses-
sion in its behalf, later appointed from his Board of Directors, a
Building Committee, to see that this money was wisely spent.
This committee, composed of Mr. W. J. Andrews, Mr. Baxter Dur-
ham, and myself, co-operating with Mr. H. A. Underwood, of the
State Joint Building Committee, spent the money appropriated hi
the following way:

Carpenter work $ 8,500.00

Roofing and sheet metal work 5,116.00

Heating plant 7,600.00

Painting all buildings, exterior and interior 4,470.00

Plumbing 798.00

Ranges 667.00

Flooring, Hospital Building 1,734.00

Approximate total expenditures to date $28,885.00

Note that the item of screens has been omitted. In the total
cost the item of screens for all buildings is included.

To the wives of the members of the Appropriation Committee
we owe great gratitude for their efforts on behalf of the appro-
priation and the great interest they showed in the Home during
their stay in Raleigh. Through their interest, several additional
rooms in the Cottages were adopted, and renewed interest aroused

United Daughters of the Confederacy 51

in various Chapters in the rooms that bore their names. All of
these rooms, awaiting now only their complete repair, for their
new furniture. For, as Mrs. T. W. Bost, of the Greensboro News,
has recently told you in her article, at the Soldiers' Home "floors
have been laid in the Building, the walls are in the process of
being repainted, the buildings have all had new roofs put on them,
new bath rooms, lavatories and showers have been added, the
large central heating plant, with a circulating system of hot
water all over the buildings, is being improved in various ways,
a beautiful gas range has been installed in the kitchen and a huge
coffee percolator makes possible the old soldiers to have their
coffee three times a day, if they so desire. The long tables in the
dining room have been cut in short lengths, five barrels of new
china have been purchased, large skylights have been opened up,
brightening the hitherto poorly lighted dining hall and kitchen
and bringing added ventilation to the Hospital."

As soon as the army of carpenters and plumbers have moved
out, the old rooms in the dormitory and the new ones in the Cot-
tages will be ready for the furnishings promised them by the
various Chapters.

Duties have so grown with the days and activities have so
overlapped each other in our work, that it is with difficulty that
we bring within the length of your interest any but the most
meagre account of any one line of activity.

An increase of $15,000.00 for support and maintenance of the
Home, bringing it up to $60,000.00 annually, $30,000.00 for repairs
and changes, and $1,000,000.00 annually for pensions, is a record
of achievement to bring pride to any State Division, and a record
not to be written without the most unflagging and courageous
work. Work for the increased appropriation for maintenance and
repairs began early in the session, and had every indication of
meeting with a successful termination, but the fight for an
increase of $850,000.00 in pensions began early in the session and
swung through five weeks of ceaseless fighting, day and night,
sometimes in the face of apparently inevitable defeat. Day by day
from all over the State letters poured in from Confederate sol-
diers who had lived through the fire of battle, to battle again for
a State in the bitter days of Reconstruction and who now urged
that in the days of her prosperity she should not forget her less
fortunate comrade in his want; and, day by day, under the in-
domnitable leadership of Mrs. Henry A. London, Chairman of the
Legislative Committee, the fight for the increase of pensions
looked defeat in the face, and gathering up its forces, began to
fight again, arriving in the end, through the loyalty of its friends,

52 Minutes of the Twenty-fifth Annual Convention

the untiring devotion of Mr. Gallert. and the brilliant parliamen-
tary tactics of Mr. Walter Murphy, its leader in the last fight in
the House, to the triumphant attainment of One Million Dollars
annually to be spent in pensions — still a most inadequate interest
on a great debt of honor.

Following close on the pension victory, inquiries as to the
amount of pensions paid veterans of each class began to come in.
Many men who were at the Home felt that with the increase of
pensions, they would be able to return to their homes and spend
their last days with families, and were anxious to obtain infor-
mation as to the red tape necessary to make the change. And
with the news that the Home was being made more comfortable
and better able to care for the ailing and the sick, many who had
felt that they were a care and drain on their families, began to
make application for admittance to the Hospital. Through our
hands has passed twenty applications for admittance to the Home,
six of these from the friends of men who, knowing that they
were sick and feeble, desired their admittance directly to the
Hospital. We have now in the Hospital three most excellent
nurses and have made during the last six months a most satis-
factory record, in spite of the fact that owing to the inconvenience
of repairs, many of the older and more feeble men were sent to
the Hospital, we had during two months in the summer no deaths
at all, and forty men in the wards. In the month just past, we
have had no deaths with 36 men living in the Hospital of the
average age of 78.

All summer we have met and co-operated with the Building
Committee in its work of reconstruction, a big job which has
demanded the fullest attention. Throughout the year, we have
had the fullest and most inspiring co-operation from Mrs. Henry
M. London, of the Soldiers' Home Purchasing Committee, in pur-
chasing and placing furnishings for the rooms adopted by the
different Chapters. In this line of work, we have met with great
encouragement. The following Chapters have sent splendid dona-
tions, all furnishing their rooms with chairs, quilts, rugs, blankets,
and sending a liberal supply of linen and other comforts as desired:
Guilford County, A. M. Scales Chapter; J .J. Davis Chapter, the
J. E. B. Stuart, Gastonia; Perquimans, Scotland Neck, two pack-
ages of linen; Bells' Battery, Cleveland Guards, two packages
linen; Fannie Patton, three packages of linen; the General George
B. Anderson Chapter, furnishing chairs for the Orange County
Memorial Room, for the general benefit of all the soldiers, Cas-
well County. The High Point, Chalmers Glenn, and Mrs. W. A.
Everett, and Gastonia, all adopting memorial rooms. The follow-

United Daughters of the Confederacy

ing Chapters replied to our hurried and urgent Christmas appeal
with gifts of cake and fruit and money: Frank Byrd, Caswell
County, Albemarle, J. J. Davis, Jacksonville, Spring Hope, A. M.
Scales, John W. Durham, Southern Stars, Asheville, Thomas Ruf-
fin, Gastonia, Emiline Piggott, Roanoke Minutemen, Junius Dan-
iels, Bell's Battery, Dodson-Ramseur, Julian S. Carr, J. E. B.
Stuart, Perquimans, Trenton, Faison-Hicks, Graham County, Fort
Macon, Nash Chapter, Merry Hill, box of canned food; A. M.
Scales, sweets; Asheville, barrel of apples; Burgaw Children's
Chapter, Frank M. Parker, Ransome-Sherrill, Robert F. Hoke
(April), cake; Confederate Grays, canned goods; Red Springs,
cakes; Zeb Vance Boy Chapter of Gastonia, cigars and tobacco,
and socks and tobacco later; Zeb Vance Chapter of Lenoir, fruit;
Fort Macon, blanket.

In the Children's Chapter, the Zeb Vance Boys Chapter of Gas-
tonia, the Eva Davis of Weldon, and Manly's Battery of Raleigh,
have helped liberally and shown much interest in the work, while
the R. F. Hoke Chapter of Salisbury has set a record of care for
the eight men in the Salisbury Cottage that every Chapter in the
State might do well to emulate.

We spent at Christmas season, $97.00 for Christmas cheer, in
fruit, candy, graphophone records, chairs, and rugs. Later, spent
$12.50 for Hospital expenses for a veteran and $10.00 in the service
of a blind veteran. Later in the year, co-operating with Mrs.
London, $31.00 for a screen door, and the 785 newspapers that we
sent out in our publicity work, and $81.00 worth of chairs for the
porches and yards. For the Hospital we have bought $25.00 worth
of fruit and ice cream at various times. With the Spring came
Memorial Day, and we co-operated then with Mrs. London in the
decoration of automobiles and flags for the graves, $10.00. Later,
at the Durham Convention, we again co-operated in the decoration
of machines. More recently we have asked of Mrs. London's fund,
$65.00 towards the fare of the eighteen veterans who attended
the Reunion from the Home. To further this work, we wrote the
U. D. C. Chapters and County Commissioners of each county with
a veteran at the home, who wished to go, and met with most
encouraging response, sending the astounding number of eighteen
(18). Up to twelve o'clock Saturday before the reunion special
left Raleigh, applications for tickets and identification blanks were
coming in, and thanks to the generosity of the following Chapters,
no one was disappointed. The balance of the $228.00 in tickets,
berths, and lunch money expenses being borne by the Graham,
Chicora, Brierfield, Kings Mountain, Manly's Battery, Johnston
Pettigrew, Dodson Ramseur and Robert H. Rickes Chapters, and

54 Minutes of the Tiventy-fifth Annual Convention

also by various personal contributions which were sent in to meet
this need at the last moment.

The success which attended this last undertaking-, while it unex-
pectedly usurped much of the time we had intended to devote to
the account of this year's work, has, with the many personal dona-
tions contributed, given us much encouragement, as it records the
estimation in which the people of North Carolina hold the work
we are endeavoring to carry on and it rounds out a year of un-
precedented success with a most happy note, emphasizing the
widening interest and renewing assurance of the eternal life of
the essential cause for which our fathers fought.

REPORT OF CONFEDERATE WOMEN'S HOME
Madam President and Daughters:

It is with great pleasure that I bring you my annual report for
you have wrought well, and at all times have been thoughtful and
considerate of the needs of those less fortunate, and this year is
no exception.

Eager to be of service, a number of chapters have adopted a
lady in the Home as their special charge, write to her, send little
remembrances and take a personal interest in her. That means
much to those deprived of loved ones.

Our family continues to grow very feeble, and requires more at-
tention. At present we have many helpless ones, and two have
recently passed away: Mrs. Hebner of Kings Mountain, and Mrs.
Vick of Edgecombe County. We have a colored nurse employed
regularly and her services are invaluable. Miss Williams, Assist-
ant Superintendent, has to give her time also to the care of the
feeble and sick.

We have in the home at present thirty, and more applications on

United Daughters of the Confederacy 55

file for admittance than we have had in the history of the Home.
We are greatly in need of a downstairs annex, both on account
of those that are too feeble to go upstairs, and for the conveni-
ence of the sick. We are to have one of the porches adjoining the
infirmary enclosed as an emergency relief until we can get the
State to add an annex. And let me ask the Daughters to see
those who will represent your county in the next General Assembly
and urge them to vote for an appropriation to add a much needed
annex to the Confederate Women's Home.

As you are aware, this home is not only for the present, but is
to be perpetuated for the homeless U. D. C.

We are deeply grateful to the Chapters for the elegant and
generous boxes that have been received during the year. These
boxes are invaluable.

The checks that are sent at Christmas from the Capters to add
to the joy of the season, if they are not needed at just that time,
I keep them, and all during the year extra treats are given the
ladies in name of the donor.

I would suggest a subscription to some of the monthly magazines
as a Christmas gift from a number of the Chapters.

The President of the J. E. B. Stuart Chapter, Fayetteville, ap-
points monthly a visiting committee from the Chapter to carry
cheer to the ladies of the Home, which have proven a great pleasure
to the shut-in. They have a program and serve refreshments.

Am delighted to report that arrangements have been made for
the city water to be extended to the Home, giving an additional
water supply.

I wish to thank our President, Mrs. Thomas W. Wilson, for her
visit to the Home, her interest and co-operation.

And Mrs. Fisher for her efforts to enthuse the Chapters to
render greater service. I have answered letters innumerable from
the simplest to those of an attorney.

Thanking the Chapters and individuals in behalf of the ladies
at the Home. As your Chairman I wish to thank you again for
your loyal co-operation and support.

REPORT OF CHAIRMAN CONFEDERATE WOMEN'S HOME
COMMITTEE

Madam President and Daughters :

It is my pleasure to present an account of my stewardship as
Chairman of the Committee for the Confederate Women's Home.

There are now twenty-six inmates in the Home, many of whom
are very feeble. Two are patients in the infirmary, one of these
having been in the infirmary since last March, and the other, since
the first of August, and both being helpless.

The water system is the greatest problem at the Home. The
building contains a system of pipes but is dependent upon a wind-
mill for the water, and when this windmill fails, it is necessary
to hitch up a wagon and haul water in barrels from a stream.
For as long as two days at a time, the Home has been without
water and has had to resort to this primitive method of secur-
ing it.

The January legislature of North Carolina granted an annual

58 Minutes of the Twenty-fifth Annual Convention

appropriation of $10,000 for the maintenance of the Home. But
Colonel Rose advises me that none of this can be used for install-
ing city water in the Home, this appropriation being made for
actual maintenance only. I recommend that this convention make
some plan to connect the Home with the water main of the city
of Fayetteville.

The Chapters of the state have responded to my appeals this
year with generous cash contributions and splendid donations of
boxes of provisions of various kinds as well as boxes of dry goods.
At this time sheets and pillow cases, bolts of gingham and un-
bleached domestic are needed. Boxes of eatables are always wel-
comed.

I urge the Chapters to remember the old ladies at Thanksgiving
and Christmas.

Respectfully submitted,

Mrs. L. E. Fisher,
Chairman of Committee for Confederate Woman's Home.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS AND
PENSIONS

Madam President, Ladies:

In 1919 I was Chairman of the Committee to ask the Legisla-
ture for increased pensions for the Confederate Veterans of North
Carolina. It was increased at that session $150,000 — from $500,-
000 to $650,000 annually.

In January, 1921, our State President, Mrs. Wilson, appointed
me Chairman of the Pension Committee. I closed my home and
went to Raleigh to be "right on the job." My Committee were
Mesdames M. O. Winstead, C. F. Harvey, J. D. Thrash, B. H.
Griffin, Walter Woodard, R. L. Justice, Max Gardner, Hunter
Smith, W. B. Pruitt, R. L. Ryburn and Misses Katherine Robin-
son and Daisy Denson and also the wives of the members of the
General Assembly who were in Raleigh at that time, viz: Mes-
dames Cooper, Grier, Mendenhall, Varser, Townsend, Everett,
Long, Brassfield, Gosney, Walker, Sams and Wright.

The Central Committee, who worked with me day and night for
two months, were Mrs. Henry M. London, Miss Martha Haywood,
Mrs. T. W. Bickett and Mrs. James H. Cordon. State Auditor
Baxter Durham compiled for me the following statistics showing
soldiers on pension list 1919-1920:

First Class (25), totally blind or totally paralyzed, $110 a year;
$9.16 2-3 per month.

Second Class (97), partially diasabled, $100 a year; $8.33 1-3
per month.

Third Class (179), lost an arm or leg, $80 a year; $6.66 2-3

United Daughters of the Confederacy 59

per month.

Fourth Class (5,031), $70 a year; $5.66 2-3 per month.

Widows (31), totally blind, $110 a year; $9.16 2-3 per month.

Widows, Fourth Class (4,733), $70 a year; $5.66 2-3 per month.

Totally blind and totally paralyzed (from General Fund), $180
a year; $15 a month.

Total number of pensioners, 10,096.

We asked that the above pensions be doubled. The Budget
Commission did not recommend any increase, so it was uphill work,
necessarily, to get a cent of increase. We went before the Joint
Committee of the Senate and the House on Appropriations, and
also before the Committee on Finance with our plea for increased
pensions. We sent every member of the General Assembly a
statement showing what each pensioner was getting and also what
other States were giving to their infirm Veterans. It showed that
North Carolina was next to the lowest in scale. Be assured that
we laid stress on the disgrace of it ; when North Carolina had sent
more men to the war than any other State.

Every legislator was appealed to personally, — and the doubtful
ones repeatedly. We had a splendid cause, and our propaganda
was carried out perfectly, the Raleigh papers assisting us. Many
Chapters sent letters and telegrams to their Senators and Repre-
sentatives. The Winnie Davis Chapter sent 25 letters and $12
worth of telegrams. Senator Gallert introduced the first bill for
"Increased Pensions" and persistently kept the subject of in-
creased pensions before the Senate. He was ably assisted by
Senators Sams, Mendenhall, Elmer Long, McKinne, Irwin. Lam-
beth, Dunlap, Winborne, Cameron, W. H. S. Burgwyn, Walker,
Hartsell, Carpenter and others. The bill passed the Senate to
increase the pensions from $650,000 to $1,000,000 — a net increase
of $350,000 annually. The House, however, by a vote of 52 to 41,
reduced the amount from $1,000,000 to $750,000. The next day the
vote was reconsidered, upon a motion made by Matthews of Meck-
lenburg. The fight in the House was led and championed by Hon.
Walter Murphy, of Salisbury, and it was largely through his influ-
ence that the appropriation of $1,000,000 was reinstated in the
bill which then passed the House by the narrow majority of one
vote. He was ably assisted by R. O. Everett, Bowie, Cowles, Cox,
Neal, McBee, Townsend, Lawrence, Grant, Clements, Young and
others. And we won the fight! It was a great victory getting
an increase of $350,000 for our needy Veterans.

Madam President, we worked persistently and consistently on
this for two months, and we owe much to the legislators who helped
win the fight for "Increased Pensions."

60 Minutes of the Tiventy-fifth Annual Convention

Upon request, the State Auditor writes us that the increase in
pensions will be paid on December 15th. The minimum amount,
that is the Fourth Class soldiers and widows, will be $100 a year,
payable semi-annually, in December and June. The Third Class
is $120.00; the Second, $135.00, and the First Class, $150.00. The
Special Class is paid $180.00 a year, payable $15.00 a month.
Respectfully submitted,

Mrs. Henry A. London,
Chairman of Pension Committee.

Mrs. London was given a rising vote of appreciation,
Miss Haywood and the President paying tribute to her
earnest and untiring work in this Committee.

This fund has been a great blessing in the home. Miss Watters
Superintendent, has written me from time to time that she did not
know what they would have done without it. Your splendid gen-

Mrs. Frank L. Wilson then gave the following report
as Chairman of the Text Book Committee:

REPORT OF THE TEXT BOOK COMMITTEE
Madam President and Daughters of the United Confederacy:

Since last November, acting on the suggestion from State and
General Conventions, a campaign against Muzzy's History in par-
ticular and all unfair histories in general, has been waged through
the mediums of U. D. C. District Directors, Chapter Presidents,
the United Confederate Veterans, the Sons of Veterans and the
press.

Letters were written to each District Director asking their co-
operation in distributing Miss Mildred Rutherford's book, "Truths
of History," as the first step toward refuting unfair statements,
in regard to the history of the South, found in many of the text
books used. More than a hundred copies of this book and an equal
number of Miss Rutherford's Measuring Rods, have been distrib-
uted throughout our State. Complimentary copies were sent to
each member of the Board of Education and State Text Book
Committee.

A letter has been sent to each Chapter President, asking that
they write a protest, against unfair histories, to each member
of the State Board of Education and each member of the State
Text Book Committee — names and addresses of these were en-

62 Minutes of the Twenty-fifth Annual Convention

closed with the request, the Chairman of this Committee, having
previously written each of these educational officials, the Gov-
ernor included, asking for the elimination of Muzzy's and other
unfair histories from our schools.

Protests were sent to 55 high school superintendents, who were
reported to be using Muzzys History. Some of these have replied,
saying the book has been taken from their class rooms.

Muzzy's History has been read by each member of this Commit-
tee and a criticism written and used either in a form letter to
the State Board of Education and the Text Book Committee or as
a newspaper publication.

Newspaper men have been asked to publish notes about Muzzy's
History, publicity being desired to arouse public discussion of this
and all unfair histories. The Raleigh News and Observer, Raleigh
Times, Asheville Citizen, Monroe Journal, Gastonia Gazette, States-
ville Landmark, Charlotte Observer and others have published
comments on this subject, all of which was appreciated by this
Committee.

Gen. J. S. Carr, who represents the Rutherford Committee from
the General Confederate Veterans, has united his work with ours,
and has written many letters and done much personal work in
aiding our cause.

At the request of the Chairman of this Committee, General Carr
took resolutions for adoption to the Confederate Veterans' Re-
union at Durham and represented our Committee before that
Convention. The following are his resolutions and were adopted
by that Convention on August 24th:

Resolved: That in regard to school histories care should be
taken to select only those books that tell accurately and truthfully
the history of the people of North Carolina, it being much more
important that the children who later are to constitute the people
of the State should have correct information about their State and
about their fathers than about other States and other peoples.
Therefore, those histories that pass over North Carolina's actions
as relatively unimportant are not suitable for North Carolina
schools; while those that misrepresent North Carolina's actions
are positively objectionable.

Resolved: That in regard to the war of 1861-65, no history
should be allowed in any North Carolina school that ignores the
fact that North Carolina's action was determined by President
Lincoln having called on the State to engage in war against the
people of the States that had withdrawn from the Union; and no
history should be taught that ignores the fact that the Federal
Government acted on the view that the inhabitants of the Southern

United Daughters of the Confederacy 63

States were insurrectionists or rebels; while on the other hand,
the inhabitants of North Carolina, devoted to the Constitution and
form of Government their fathers had assisted in framing, based
their action on the claim of right as stated in the ordinance unani-
mously adopted May 20th, 1861.

General Metts expressed in letters and otherwise his apprecia-
tion and encouragement of our Committee.

Rev. Albert Sydney Johnston, D. D., of Charlotte, a representa-
tive of the Rutherford Committee from the Sons of Veterans has
united his efforts with hers and upon request of the Chairman of
this Committee, letters of protest against unfair, and pleas for
only the use of fair histories have been written by him to the
Educational officials in our State.

At our request, Mr. Jay Bivens, an attorney, has made a study
and written a criticism of Muzzy's History for publication.

One objectionable book, "Lincoln's Attitude Toward Slavery and
Emancipation,' by Henry W. Wilbur, was eliminated from circu-
lation from the State Library of Extension at our request.

REPORT OF STATE DIRECTOR FOR JEFFERSON DAVIS
MONUMENT

Madam President and Daughters:

Again as State Director from North Carolina for the Jefferson
Davis Monument, I come to you with the following report:

Do you realize what it means to have, year after year, an un-
finished work standing as your tribute to the man that bore all,
suffered all, for the South?

Such is the Jefferson Davis Monument at Fairview, Ky. From
time to time during the past year appeals have been sent to all
Divisions pleading that first attention be given this work already
too long delayed, that the few remaining Veterans may see it com-
pleted. The last plan that certificates be sold for $1.00 each, was
well worked out, easy and met with good response.

North Carolina has done well, but the end is not yet.

Daughters, put your shoulders to the wheel and let 1922 see
by your efforts and those of your sister States, the veil fall from
that magnificent monument that shall stand forever a symbol of
your undying love and patriotism for the Confederacy's only
President — Jefferson Davis.

Now, let us all pull together and erect a monument that our
sons and daughters for generations to come will always refer to
with honor and pride.

"All hail to the Chief of our Dixie land,

64 Minutes of the Tiventy-fifth Annual Convention

We will build a shaft that will forever stand,
In memory of the South's grand old man —
So, each and all, help if you can."

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON MONTROSE FREE BED

FUND

Madam President and Friends:

In the days gone by women rather prided themselves on their
ignorance of business affairs, all these were left to their men
folks, but the time has come when we women are interested in
business and in investing our money where it will bring the largest
returns, and we are all looking for good investments. Two years

66 Minutes of the Twenty-fifth Annual Convention

ago you decided to start a fund to support a free bed at the State
Sanatorium for Tuberculosis. We believe that this has proven itself
to be one of the best investments our Division has ever made, and
when we say this, we do not in the least disparage other invest-
ments in all the other splendid causes so dear to the hearts of
every loyal Daughter of the Confederacy. Two young girls have
received the benefit of this fund, and have recovered sufficiently to
be sent home. We cannot estimate the results of giving these girls
a new lease on life for we have probably not only saved their lives,
but have protected their brothers and sisters from this dread dis-
ease. Both girls came from large families.

Not long ago I received a most pitiful letter from a young man
in one of our Western North Carolina towns, saying he had tuber-
culosis but had been able to keep at work during the illness and
death of his wife who had tuberculosis, but that now, his doctor
said he must go to bed, and he went on to say, " have no bed to
go to, no folks and no money." He had heard of this fund and
wanted to know if we could send him to Sanatorium for treat-
ment. Dr. McBrayer says he has hundreds on his waiting list,
and many times we have returned thanks for your generosity in
supporting this free bed so liberally. Again we appeal to you to
help in this good work of building living monuments.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON NORTH CAROLINA ROOM IN
RICHMOND MUSEUM

Madam President and Daughters of the Confederacy.

I am most happy to be again with you to deliver my report in
person.

Many of the Chapters have continued their loyal support to the
North Carolina Room in the Confederate Museum at Richmond,
Virginia.

The following have contributed: Asheville Chapter, Fanny Pat-
ton Chapter; Clinton, Ashford-Sellers Chapter; Enfield, Frank M.
Parker Chapter; Fayetteville, J. E. B. Stuart Chapter; Goldsboro,
Thomas Ruff in Chapter; Halifax, Halifax Chapter; Hertford, Per-
quimans Chapter; New Bern, New Bern Chapter; North Wilkes-
boro, Wilkes Valley Guards Chapter; Shelby, Cleveland Guards
Chapter; Washington, Pamlico Chapter; Winston-Salem, James B.
Gordon Chapter; total, $32.50.

I have written a number of letters, among them several to mem-
bers of the Legislature asking them to continue their appropria-
tion of $100.00 per year to this cause. I received most cordial
replies, telling me they would strongly urge a continuance of it.

68 Minutes of the Twenty- fifth Annual Convention

Thanking you for your untiring loyalty and support in this
sacred work.

Respectfully submitted,

Mrs. Latta C. Johnston, Regent.
October, 1921.

THE PEACE PRIZE ESSAY REPORT

Only two essays were sent in for this contest. One other was
sent later in the summer, but will have to be considered next year.

With the help of Mrs. J. J. Yates, the Historian of the Asheville
Chapter, I passed on the two, and we decided the essay marked
"Burgaw" had merit. It was sent on to the General Chairman
of the Peace Prize Essay.

Mrs. Eugene B. Glenn, Chairman.

REPORT OF JEFFERSON DAVIS HIGHWAY COMMITTEE
This Committee has been given no work by the Central Jefferson
Davis Highway Committee. I suppose the work is not yet in
shape for active co-operation from State Committees.
Respectfully submitted,

Mary F. Henderson, Chairman.
Mrs. Edgar Cheek, Director of Music, gave a verbal
report, requesting members to send to her copies of suit-
able songs to be included in the book now being compiled.
Mrs. Cheek stated that she wanted not only songs sung
during the War, but ante-bellum songs, favorite songs of
generals, etc.

The following reports were read by the Recording Sec-

United Daughters of the Confederacy 69

retary in the absence of their Chairmen. These were duly
accepted.

REPORT OF CHAIRMAN OF STATIONERY

Owing to the efficiency of the printer and kind consideration of
the Daughters, my work for the year has been very pleasant.

The Division Officers have been furnished with the necessary
stationery. Orders from the Chapter have been promptly filled
and the printing for this convention sent out as requested.
Respectfully submitted,

Lowry Shuford, Chairman.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON "STARS AND BARS"
MEMORIAL

Madam President and Daughters:

I regret so much not being with you at this meeting. I have
not heard from all Chapters, but think I shall have to ask that
our Committee be retained and our report continued, as I am
trying to get a scholarship as well as a tablet in memory of Owen
Randolph Smith, the designer of the "Stars and Bars" of the
Confederacy.

Cordially yours,

(Mrs. Thos. W.) Fannie Y. Bickett.

REPORT OF THE REBECCA WINBORNE MARKER COM-
MITTEE

Madam President and Daughters:

We, the Committee for the Rebecca Winborne Marker, beg to
submit the following report:

At the Convention in New Bern a year ago, we found that we
only had in the Treasury about half enough funds to pay for a
marker, such as we felt worthy of the cause we had undertaken.
We asked for more pledges at that Convention for this work, but
not enough was given to justify buying the marker.

On February 10, 1921, we sent, to all Chapters who had not
contributed to this fund, and to those Chapters who had not re-
deemed their pledges, a circular letter asking them to fulfill their
duty, that the Committee might complete this work by April 1st.
This letter was given a hearty response and by the first of April
we had sufficient funds in the Treasury to have the marker placed
at the grave of her who made the first Confederate Flag. When
the District Meeting was held in Wilson on the 29th of April, on
the afternoon of that day, the marker was unveiled. The cere-

70 Minutes of the Twenty-fifth Annual Convention

mony was simple but beautiful. The Children's Chapter marched
around and strew flowers on the grave. The grandchildren of
Mrs. Winborne unveiling the marker which was draped in a Con-
federate Flag loaned for the occasion by Miss Jessica Smith, who
was the daughter of Maj. Owen Randolph Smith, who was the
designer of the Flag Mrs. Winborne had made.

The occasion was honored by the presence of the State President,
Mrs. Thomas W. Wilson, who received this marker from the Chair-
man of the Commitee for the North Carolina Division, U. D. C,
and in turn committed it to the care and keeping of the John W.
Dunham Chapter of Wilson. The President of that Chapter gra-
ciously received it. The Chairman of this Committee feels that
special thanks are due Mrs. Walter F. Woodard for her untiring
zeal in this work, and for her good business ability in getting
such a splendid value for the money invested.

We are sorry not to present a photograph of this beautiful
marker with this report, but did not think of it in time to have
one made. However, we are sure the Wilson Chapter will be glad
for you all to visit the marker at your convenience, and we are
sure you will not only be pleased, but proud of the privilege of
taking a part in this work.

All bills connected with this work have been paid, and there
is a balance in the Treasury from this fund.

We thank you all for your loyal support.
Respectfully,

Mrs. M. 0. Winstead,
Chairman Rebecca Winborne Marker Committee.

REPORT FOR BODLIFAN LIBRARY, OXFORD, ENGLAND

Madam President and Daughters :

I am sorry that I am not well enough to attend the Convention.

I have been corresponding with Miss Hanna in regard to secur-
ing the Library of Southern Literature. She has a friend in
Atlanta whom she thinks may either donate it or give a part of it.
As yet I have not heard from her, so have not sent out any letters,
but hope to hear in time to get out a letter to be sent to the
Chapters before the meeting in November.

Please make some statement explaining this situation to the
Convention. All the Chapters will be called upon to donate to this
cause. I hope to make some kind of a report before the Minutes
go to press, and if so I will send it to Mrs. Anderson.

Miss Hanna says that she has a copy of the Library of Southern
Literature, but that it is very hard to get.

I am sending a list of other books that she would like to have.

United Daughters of the Confederacy 71

She says that any of these or similar literature might he of value
to our collection. She would like a good History of North Carolina.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE OF CUNNINGHAM MEMORIAL

Madame President'.

I regret exceedingly to come to you with such a small amount
for a cause that I feel is such a splendid memorial to one who
did so much for the Confederacy. With the aid of Mrs. Eugene
Little, who was a State Director, we tried to bring this splendid
work before every Chapter, and also before the public. We do
not believe the Chapters are not interested, but they had many
obligations to fulfill, and we expect yet for them to respond to
this fund. I have only $70.00 to report.
Respectfully,

Mrs. E. C. Brooks,
Chairman Cunningham Memorial.

REPORT FOR THE GETTYSBURG FUND

A program for Gettysburg Day, to be held in April, was ar-
ranged by Mrs. Felix Harvey and Mrs. Marshall Williams and
sent to every Chapter in the North Carolina Division.

72 Minutes of the Twenty-fifth Annual Convention

On the whole the response has been most gratifying. Last
November, the amount of the Fund was $550.69, which represented
years of effort. The fund has increased over a thousand dollars
this year and we now have $1,641.56 to our credit. Charlotte
Chapter has set the whole Division a noble example with the larg-
est and most generous donation, $400.00, and a pledge of $500.00.

Among the smaller Chapters deserving honorable mention are:
Aulander, Beaufort, Morehead City, Pittsboro, North Wilkes-
boro, Leaksville-Spray.

Your Chairman spoke in behalf of the Gettysburg Fund at the
District Meeting in Sylva, N. C, and also in Asheville. Our
Fund is growing and ere long we can point with pride to the
marker, which will speak for the heroic action of the North Caro-
lina Confederate Soldier on the historic battlefield of Gettysburg.
Then the Daughters of the Confederacy will again demonstrate
to the world their undying appreciation of Southern valor.
Respectfully submitted,

Mrs. Marshall Williams, Chairman.

Mrs. J. M. Gudger, Jr., Chairman of the Dixie High-
way Committee, gave a verbal report. She reported prog-
ress of her Committee and stated that if the Division
wished it, it could secure a die of General Lee on "Trav-
eller," from which markers could be made to place at the
intersection of the Dixie Highway with every State
through which it passes. Each State would secure its
own marker from the die owned by the North Carolina
Division. She said Southern history would thus be per-
petuated.

Following the report of the Dixie Highway Committee
it was moved by Mrs. Staton and seconded that the work
therein referred to be taken up by the North Carolina
Division. Same carried. The following amounts were
pledged to this work: Mrs. W. B. Taylor, Winston-
Salem; Mrs. E. L. McKee, of Sylva, $25.00; Mrs. J. L.
Stayton, Charlotte, $25.00.

The State Historian, Mrs. J. L. Bridgers, read a letter
from Miss Mary D. Carter of Virginia, in refer-
ence to a history written by Dr. L. S. Lyles,
President of William and Mary College. She stated that

United Daughters of the Confederacy 73

it was being placed in the Foreign Collection, and offered

to donate 15 copies of this book to any U. D. C. Division

that would agree to place it in their schools and libraries.

The Convention expressed appreciation of this offer.

Mrs. Henry A. London stated that she had the entire
set of Minutes of the Conventions for twenty-three years,
ready to send to the University Library. She stated that
she had already given 22 volumes of her husband's bound
paper, the Chatham Record, to the University Library,
containing much information of the Confederacy.

Mrs. F. M. Williams called attention to the fact that
all monies should be sent through the Treasurer's office.

Mrs. Jack Hollister moved that a scholarship be named
"Zeb B. Vance." This was unanimously carried. A
daughter-in-law of Governor Vance, Mrs. Z. B. Vance,
Jr., being present, was introduced to the meeting. The
Convention arose to greet her.

Mrs. Marshall Williams introduced the following reso-
lution and moved its adoption :

Whereas, the Lady Commissioners of the Bankhead National
Highway Association at its annual meeting at Greensboro last
April, proposed that the Congress of the United States be memo-
rialized and requested to mark the spot in Alamance County where
Light Horse Harry Lee killed 300 Tories and thereby dispersed the
other 700 organized into a regiment at Hillsboro by Cornwallis
just before the battle of Guilford, thereby depriving the British of
their presence, and thereby preventing them from celebrating
Guilford as their victory instead of America celebrating Yorktown;

Whereas, this resolution was adopted by the fourteen States
traversed by the Bankhead National Highway;

And, whereas, it has since been adopted by a number of patriotic
societies in the State, like the Cincinnati, Colonial Dames, Daugh-
ters of American Revolution, Confederation of Women's Clubs,
and the North Carolina Good Roads Association;

Therefore, be it resolved by the United Daughters of the Con-
federacy of North Carolina that we heartily join in this memorial
to Congress to mark this spot with a suitable monument where
transpired such an important event in American history — the

74 Minutes of the Twenty-fifth Annual Convention

turning point of success in American arms — just as it has marked
Kings Mountain, Guilford and Yorktown.

The motion was seconded and carried.

The following Committees were announced by the
President :

Courtesy : Mesdames 0. Max Gardner, H. A. London,

REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF DISTRIBUTION FOR NORTH

CAROLINA OF OUR BOOK, "THE WOMEN OF

THE SOUTH IN WAR TIMES"

Madam President and Co-Workers:

It is with a feeling of pride that I bring this report to you who
have made it possible for it is your work. At New Bern you
voted to have our Treasurer send at once to Mr. Andrews a check
for the amount that was pledged for this book at Louisville, I
figured at what I thought the price was and told Mrs. Long to
send check for $106.45, when it was received he wrote me we
lacked $1.67 of sending enough so my C. of C. Chapter sent a
check of $2.00. I have returned the amount of $107.00 to Mrs.
Long and sent to the Publicity Fund for the sale of books $2.85.

I have written two hundred and eleven letters about this work,
eighty cards, and sent out three hundred and eighty circular let-
ters.

To shorten my report I am only going to give the list of those
who have not bought our book. They are as follows: China
Grove, Clayton, Concord, Dillsboro, Ellerbe, Faison, Gatesville,
Hertford, Jackson, Kenansville, Kittrell, Laurinburg, Merry Hill,
Morganton, Mount Olive, Murfreesboro, Maysville, Murphy, Nor-
wood, Oxford, Pittsboro, Reidsville, Rose Hill, Selma, Spray, Sylva,
Trenton, Vanceboro, Warrenton, Warsaw, Weldon, Windsor, Yan-
ceyville.

I feel that must add to that list above the five Chapters that
have sold the largest number of copies. Rocky Mount, 126; Ashe-
ville Chapter, 60; Gastonia, 52; Greensboro, 32; Newton, 17. We
have sold in all 287 copies.

In September our President wrote the District Directors asking
if each District would not contribute $3.00 to a fund so that we
could place this book in every college in our State and our two
Confederate Homes. The following have responded: District
14, check for $3.00 from Mrs. Wallace, Director; District 13,
check for $3.00 from the Chapters; District 4, check for $3.00
from Mrs. Riggan, Director; District 15, check from the Frank
M. Parker Chapter for $3.00; District 1, check for $3.00 from
Mrs. McKee, Director; District 3, for $3.10 from Miss Shuford;
District 7, check from the Albemarle Chapter for the $3.00; Dis-
trict 6, check from the Reidsville Chapter for 50 cents. Total
$21.60. Eleven books have been placed in the following colleges:

United Daughters of the Confederacy 79

University of North Carolina, Trinity College, Wake Forest; Da-
vidson, State, N. C. College for Women, Greensboro College;
Meredith College, Peace, St. Mary's, and Salem. This leaves 70
cents balance and I hope the other District Leaders will send theirs
in so that I can report at St. Louis that we have placed these
books. Asheville has placed a copy in the library at Bingham's
and numbers of Chapters have placed copies in their public school
libraries.

This book is a monument to our grandmothers and mothers that
we can send around the world if only we can get the money and
in that way will do more good than a monument of stone, for only
those who are fortunate enough to be near can ever see the stone
monument. Now we have made a beginning with the Publicity
Fund in our Division and I hope another year we will have many
times as much to report on this fund, for if you could only see
the letters that have come to the publishers about this book you
would feel proud that you could have a part in placing it before
the world. One lady who went from the South to live in Boston
says since she has owned a copy and loaned it to her neighbors
they say they have an entirely different idea of the South of
yesterday and that she is sure that it has gained friends for her
and the South. There are many more letters along this same
line. Now, Daughters, Mr. Andrews did not do this for money
but for the love of the South and the memory of his mother's
teachings. This is our book and it is up to you now to remember
your loved ones who lived through those days and help place these
true stories written by the dear Southern ladies of the sixties
before the North, West and across the waters.

The following has been given by you towards this fund this year:
Albemarle, North Wilkesboro, Smithfield, Enfield, Shelby, Rocky
Mount, Whiteville, Elizabeth City, Kinston, Lincolnton, Durham,
Kings Mountain, Greensboro, Fannie Patton Chapter, Asheville,
Clinton, Tarboro, Beaufort, Salisbury, Winston-Salem, Charlotte,
Fayetteville, Statesville, Graham, and Robert E. Lee C. of C,
Asheville, each gave $1.00; Burlington, $2.00; the Division, $2.85;
Nashville, $3.00; Asheville Chapter, $5.00; Lumberton, $9.00;
Gastonia, $10.00; Junior Bethel Heroes Chapter C. of C, Rocky
Mount, $15.00. Total, $70.85.

Respectfully submitted,

(Mrs. R. P.) Tempe Whitehead Holt,
Director of Distribution for North Carolina.

Mrs. Glenn of Asheville, General Chairman for this
book, urged continued interest on the part of Chapters,

80 Minutes of the Twenty-fifth Annual Convention

as North Carolina was ahead of other States in this work.

It was moved and carried that Mrs. Holt's splendid
report be accepted.

Motions were made and duly carried that scholarships
be named "James I. Metts" and "Mrs. W. M Parsley,"
respectively.

After discussion, a motion was unanimously carried
that the scholarships named in Wednesday's and Thurs-
day's meetings be named in the following order :

(1) Mrs. W. M. Parsley.

(2) Mrs. Ella B. Broadnax.

(3) H. L. Riggins.

(4) Orrin Randolph Smith.

(5) Zeb B. Vance.

(6) James I. Metts.

The Director of the World War Records read the fol-
lowing report, which was accepted with thanks.

REPORT OF WORLD WAR RECORD DIRECTOR

Madam President and Daughters:

I feel ashamed to bring this report to you with the number of
brave boys who went from our State to war, but without the help
of the Chapters over our Division a Chairman's hands are tied.
This year you have not shown the interest in this work that I
had hoped for, that is the greater number, some few have done
just splendid work and are still at work writing for more blanks.

I must mention one chapter who did not understand about the
work and in August sent a list of the boys to our State Historian
who turned it over to me; I immediately wrote to Mrs. Rothrock
of Mt. Airy, sending her blanks and explaining the work and while
on her bed she went to work and with the help of her husband
in less than a month sent me 59 blanks filled out correctly, not a
one to send back for corrections. Now if she could do that, so can
we, so please let's all work to finish this work during the coming
year.

The following is the number sent by Chapters: Spring Hope,
Sylva, Enfield, Durham, 1 each; Red Springs and Hendersonville,

United Daughters of the Confederacy 81

2 each; Lincolnton, China Grove, Nashville, Cary, 3 each; Graham,
6; Jacksonville, 7; Rocky Mount, 9; High Point, 11; Elizabeth City,
16; Shelby, 18; Mooresville, 19; Kinston, 20; Waynesville, 49;
North Wilkesboro, 52; Mount Airy, 59. Total 402.

Louisburg has gone to the front with 115 and several others
that I feel sure she can get finished but it was too late to return
for this year.

They are indexed as follows: Colonel, 1; lieutenant-colonels, 2;
majors, 7; captains, 9; first lieutenants, 22; second lieutenants,
10; sergeants, 53; corporals, 35; privates, 238; sergeant majors, 2;
wagoners, 3 ; storekeeper, 1 ; bugler, 1 ; chief quartermaster, 1 ;
engineer, 1 ; seamen, 2 ; yeomen, 2 ; commanders, 1 ; junior lieu-
tenants, 2; ensign, 3; cadet, 1; Ph. mates, 3; mechanic, 1;
chief mechanic, 1.

Respectfully submitted,

Tempe Whitehead Holt, Director.

REPORT OF CHURCH BELLS COMMITTEE

Madam President and Daughters of the Confederacy :

Last year I gave a long report of the Church Bells given in
North Carolina to the Confederate Government to be cast into
cannon, at the call of the Ordnance Department in Richmond in
1862.

I will give a synopsis of that report, and add to it, what we
have been able to collect this year.

The Baptist, Presbyterian and St. Matthew's Episcopal Church
of Hillsboro, N. C, gave their bells.

The Methodist and Episcopal Church of Greenville, N. C, gave
their bells.

From Edenton, N. C, were sent bells from the Methodist, and
St. Paul's Episcopal Church, and bells of every description which
made four cannon, constituting "The Bell Battery."

The Roman Catholic, Presbyterian, and Episcopal Churches of
Washington, N. C, gave theirs.

The Presbyterian and Episcopal Churches of Fayetteville, N. C,
offered their bells.

The churches of Halifax and Pittsboro, N. C, offered their bells.

All of the churches of Tarboro, N. C, gave their bells.

The Baptist, Roman Catholic and Episcopal Churches of Char-
lotte, N. C, gave their bells; the cannon moulded from them form-
ing Brem's Battery.

The Methodist and Episcopal Churches of Plymouth offered
their bells.

The churches of Raleigh tendered their bells. On April 4, 1862,

82 Minutes of the Twenty-fifth Annual Convention

the Baptist Church offered its large hell, weighing 1,300 pounds,
supposed to make three six-pounders, or half a hattery. Shortly
after this, Christ Episcopal, the Methodist, Presbyterian and
Roman Catholic Churches of Raleigh offered their bells. We copy
from The Raleigh Register of April, 1862, a part of the poem taken
from a Richmond paper, entitled "The Church Bell":

"Loosen the bolts — lower me down;

Cannon must be made.
From hill and vale, and leaguered town

A Nation calls for aid!
The joy of a Country's heart is gone,

The light of a people fled;
To hearts and hearths, the foe presses on

O'er the forms of the gallant Dead.

No more should the tongue of the village bell

Give forth its cheerful strain
'Til freedom and peace together shall dwell

In this fair sunny land again.
So haste! to the foundry let me go,

Where my brazen sides may yield
A weapon of death to the insolent foe —

And then — away to the field!

Transferred again to my lonely perch,

When the battle's fought and done —
A peal I'll ring from the village church

For countless glories won.
And anon — a song for the brave who bled

Ere victory crowned the day.
And a dirge for the names of the honored Dead.

Who fell in the fearful fray."

We have searched papers and manuscripts, and now, we call on
the older generation for tradition about the Church Bells in the
older towns of the State.

Respectfully submitted,

Mrs. Henry A. London,
Chairman of Church Bells Committee.
Pittsboro, N. C.

The former State President, Mrs. C. F. Harvey, of

Kinston, who at this time arrived at the Convention, was

United Daughters of the Confederacy 83

presented to the Convention and given a rising vote of
welcome.

Mrs. L. B. Newell of Charlotte announced that she
wished to offer a prize of $5.00 in gold to the Chapter
President who would send in the best condensed report,
expressed in not more than 150 words. She urged all
Chapters to compete for it. The Convention accepted this
offer with appreciation.

District reports were read and accepted, from the fol-
lowing Districts: First, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth,
Seventh, Tenth, Eleventh, Thirteenth, Fourteenth, Fif-
teenth and Sixteenth.

On motion the Convention adjourned at 4:30 o'clock
to attend a reception given by the Daughters of the
American Revolution at the home of Mrs. Lindsay Pat-
terson.

THIRD DAY— Morning Session

The meeting was called to order by the President at
9 :30 A. M. After the devotional exercises, there was a
vocal duet.

The minutes of the previous day were read and ap-
proved.

Mrs. Duke Hay moved "that the Division petition that
a U. D. C. woman be put on the State Text Book Com-
mittee."

Mrs. L. E. Fisher offered an amendment to this motion
as follows :

'That we petition that the President of this Division

84 Minutes of the Tiventy-fifth Annual Convention

be a standing member of the State Text Book Committee."

This amendment was accepted, and the motion being
duly seconded, was unanimously adopted.

As information the President stated that the plan of
the present Text Book Committee has every promise of
success, and that this Committee is already working in
harmony with the Committee appointed to select the
text books.

Mrs. Fisher stated it was not her intention to interfere
with the Text Book Committee.

Mrs. C. F. Harvey, Chairman of the Maury Monument
Committee, gave a verbal report and spoke in behalf of
the Matthew Fontaine Maury Monument in Rich-
mond. She said that at the General Convention last
November a resolution was presented and adopted that
the Daughters of the Confederacy give a creditable sum
to this undertaking; that the President General had ap-
pointed directors in every Division ; and that she was now
asking the Presidents of the Chapters represented to
see that each Chapter fittingly observe the birthday of
Commodore Maury, January 14th, and also seek to have
this birthday observed in the public schools by appro-
priate exercises, and that the school children bring con-
tributions on that day ranging from one cent up. The
names of the children contributing should be sent to
each Division Director, so that they may be placed in
the corner stone of this monument, or in the Confederate
Museum. Mrs. Harvey stated that already, without
solicitation Chapters of Morehead City, New Bern, Pitts-
boro and Kinston had each forwarded $25.00 to the State
Treasurer.

Mrs. Marshall Williams stated that Mrs. E. E. Moffitt,
who is at present living in Virginia, thinks of applying
to the Johnston Pettigrew Chapter of Raleigh for a demit
to a Chapter in Richmond and reminded the Convention
that Mrs. Moffitt is an Honorary President of this Divi-
sion and that she would like to see her retained as such.

The Convention arose in compliment to Mrs. Moffitt
and in appreciation of her as a lifelong Honorary Presi-
dent of the North Carolina Division.

Mrs. J. L. Bridgers spoke in behalf of the "Kiffan
Rockwell Memorial," and requested that each Chapter
send some book written by a North Carolinian for the
Tar Heel Library shelf in Paris.

Mrs. F. M. Williams asked whether this memorial will
bear the name, "Daughters of the Confederacy," saying
if it did not, the Daughters could not undertake it. Mrs.
Bridgers replied that it would and if necessary to put a
tablet on this memorial she would give it.

There was much discussion. The question was asked :
"Was Kiffin Rockwell a descendant of a Confederate
veteran?" Mrs. Riggins replied that newspaper reports
stated he was the grandson of a loyal Confederate vet-
eran.

Mrs. Fisher of Asheville then moved "That a Tar
Heel Library be placed in Paris in memory of North

United Daughters of the Confederacy 87

Carolina World War soldiers, who were descendants of
Confederate veterans."

The motion was seconded and carried.

The President then called for the report of the Cour-
tesy Committee, which was read by Mrs. 0. Max Gardner.

REPORT OF COURTESY COMMITTEE

When the Daughters of the Confederacy received an invitation
to Winston-Salem they felt a rare treat awaited them.

Winston-Salem combines the culture of those olden days, those
golden days, when graces of mind and person were stressed —
along with the glorious days of the present prosperity and prog-
ress— a combination to be envied and not easily attained.

All of our anticipations have been more than realized in the
wealth of your welcome and royal entertainment.

To Mrs. H. L. Riggins, the beloved President of the local Chap-
ter, we wish to express our hearty appreciation for her untiring
efforts in our behalf, and:

To Mayor James G. Hanes and to each representative from the
various organizations who welcomed us so cordially on the open-
ing night, we tender our most heartfelt thanks.

To the James B. Gordon Chapter we offer our appreciation for
the beautiful reception Tuesday evening, which was held in the
hotel, the name of which we honor and revere.

We desire to express our appreciation for the elegant lunches
and breakfast given us by the Civitan Club, the Retail Merchants'
Association and that prince of a Veteran, Mr. P. H. Hanes, Sr.
These courtesies will ever be remembered.

The Womans Club and Salem D. A. R. tea at the lovely home
of Mrs. Lindsay Patterson; the revue at the Forsyth Country
Club, given by the Rotary Club; the evening of pleasure given on
Wednesday by the children of the Thomas Jethro Brown Chapter,
will linger among the pleasantest memories.

To the daily newspapers, to Mrs. Latham, Chairman of the
Publicity Committee, to the dear Confederate Veterans of Nor-
fleet Camp, who honored us with their presence, to those who
delighted us on each and every occasion with their excellent music,
to the ministers who led the devotional exercises, to the pretty
pages who served so faithfully, to the citizens who gave their
services and cars, we wish to offer our thanks and deepest appre-
ciation.

And to Miss Alice Baxter, of Atlanta, Ga., our own First Vice-

88 Minutes of the Tiventy-fifth Annual Convention

President General, whose presence was a real benediction and in-
spiration, and lastly to our own beloved President, Mrs. Thomas
W. Wilson, we pledge our love, loyalty and co-operation.
Respectfully submitted,

Mrs. O. Max Gardner, Chairman,
Mrs. H. A. London,
Mrs. I. W. Faison,
Mrs. George Connor,
Mrs. L. E. Fisher,
Mrs. W. C. Glover.

This was accepted by the Convention and heartily en-
dorsed by all.

The President called for Chapter reports, and by re-
quest the one that won the prize, the J. E. B. Stuart
Chapter of Fayetteville, was read first. Then, beginning
with the letter "Z", the roll was called and Chapter re-
ports read.

It was moved and carried that the Convention be open
to invitations for next Convention.

Mrs. H. L. Riggins presented the invitation that the
Division adopt the Robert E. Lee Hotel as their perma-
nent quarters. The Convention expressed appreciation
of her courtesy by hearty applause.

Mrs. Faison moved : "That the Convention go back to
the old way of entertaining."

After much discussion, being seconded, the motion was
carried.

Mrs. F. M. Williams requested that the papers com-
peting for the Carrie Watson Pearce medal, offered by
Mrs. T. L. Craig, be sent to the President by September
15th and be judged by a committee to be appointed by
her, the first day of the next session.

Mrs. H. A. London asked that the Daughters help the
Veterans in revising their rosters — that there is no cor-
rect roster of Confederate soldiers in existence today.

United Daughters of the Confederacy 89

A telegram of greeting was read from Mrs. Fannie Pat-
ton, Asheville; also a letter from Miss Lowry Shuford,
former State Historian, containing poem by E. S. Flagg,

DISTRICT REPORTS
District No. 1

Madam President and Members of the Convention:

As District Director I take pleasure in submitting the following
report :

The B. H. Cathey Chapter, United Daughters of the Confed-
eracy, was hostess to the Annual District Meeting of the First
District, North Carolina Division, Thursday and Friday, June 22
and 23, 1921.

On Thursday evening the delegates and visitors were enter-
tained at a garden party at the home of Mrs. M. D. Cowan. This
informal gathering gave the Daughters from the various Chapters
in our large District a much needed opportunity of getting
acquainted.

On Friday morning at 10 o'clock a short service was held at
the foot of the beautiful monument erected to the Jackson County
Heroes of the Confederacy. Wreaths of flowers were placed on
the monument by the little great grand-daughters of Mr. B. H.
Cathey, for whom the hostess Chapter was named, and his son,
Mr. James Cathey, addressed the ladies with a few well chosen
words.

The business session was held in the Methodist Church, which
was tastefully decorated with Confederate flags. The meeting was
opened by singing "America," and prayer by Rev. O. J. Jones. A
cordial address of welcome was made by Mrs. M. D. Cowan, Presi-
dent of the B. H. Cathey Chapter, and a hearty welcome to the
church was extended by the pastor. A most pleasing response to
the addresses of welcome was made by Mrs. L. E. Fisher, of the
Asheville Chapter.

The following Chapters were represented in the meeting by dele-
gates: Asheville Chapter, Fannie Patton Chapter, Transylvania
Chapter, Haywood Chapter, W. A. Enloe Chapter, and B. H. Cathey
Chapter. The District was fortunate in having as honor guests
our Division President, Mrs. Wilson, Mrs. Marshall Williams, Ex-
State President, and Mrs. Bridgers, State Historian, whose bril-
liant addresses made the session not only delightful, but instruc-
tive as well.

Greetings were extended by the President of each Chapter repre-
sented and Chapter reports were read by the Secretaries. These
reports gave evidence of remarkable interest and activity in the
various Chapters. The receipts reported were around $2,000.00.

100 Minutes of the Twenty- fifth Annual Convention

Forty-four Crosses of Honor had been bestowed. There are five
enthusiastic Children's Chapters.

The Chapter reports show an unprecedented activity in local
work — aiding and entertaining veterans, presenting books and pic-
tures to schools, offering prizes for essays, etc., the greatest under-
taking in the District being the establishment of a public library
by the Transylvania Chapter.

An assessment of three dollars has been paid by the District
for placing "Southern Women in War Times" in our State Col-
leges.

The business session closed with the election of officers, Mrs.
E. L. McKee being re-elected Director, and Mrs. L. E. Fisher,
Secretary.

Our Division President was then introduced in a charming and
graceful manner by Mrs. John McRea, of the Fannie Patton Chap-
ter. Mrs. Wilson's excellent address covered every phase of U.
D. C. work in the North Carolina Division and she delighted her
audience with the charm and graciousness of her personality.

Mrs. R. L. Madison, of the W. A. Enloe Chapter, with fitting
remarks introduced Mrs. Marshall Williams, who made a brilliant
and stirring appeal for the Gettysburg Monument Fund. Mrs.
Charles Malcolm Piatt, of the Asheville Chapter, made a most
interesting and illuminating talk on "Truths of History," and Mrs.
Bridgers closed the program by speaking briefly on "The Im-
portance of Historical Work."

The program was interspersed with music — a piano solo by Miss
Candler, a violin selection by Mrs. Odell Dillard, and two solos
sung by Miss McKee.

Just before adjournment a telegram was received from the Abel
Shuford Chapter, Hickory, endorsing Mrs. James Gudger, the can-
didate of the Asheville Chapter for Division President in 1922.

A beautiful luncheon was served at the hotel to the delegates,
visitors and members of the B. H. Cathey Chapter. Toasts and
short speeches were delivered between courses and at the close,
standing around the tables, all joined in singing "Blest Be the
Tie."

Two new Chapters have been organized in the District, although
too late for their charters to be sent in before Convention.
Respectfully submitted,

Gertrude Dills McKee,
Director First District, N. C. Division, U. D. C.

United Daughters of the Confederacy 101

District No. 3

On May 30th, at Cleveland Springs, District No. 3 held a very
profitable meeting. A picnic dinner was enjoyed on these beau-
tiful grounds by the ladies present. In the absence of the Director,
the meeting was called to order by Mrs. Frank L. Wilson at one
o'clock. As song leader, Mrs. J. Holland Morrow conducted the
singing of a number of Confederate songs. The six Chapters of
the District were well represented, gave splendid reports, and
reports from two of the Children's Chapters were read. The main
feature of the meeting was the inspiring address by our Division
President, Mrs. Thomas W. Wilson, on the many phases of the
work of this great organization.

All the mother Chapters, assisted by the Children's Chapters,
observed January 19th and Memorial Day with fitting exercises
and sumptuous dinners served to the veterans. Flowers and
wreaths were placed on graves Memorial Day. June 3rd was
observed by most of the Chapters.

This District has a membership of 1,021; new members for the
year, 151. During the year $1,660.00 was collected; disbursements,
$1,241.34.

veterans; presented seventeen Crosses of Honor; keep one mater-
nity loan trunk; beautifully furnished a room and sent flowers,
books and magazines to Orthopaedic Hospital; collected forty-three

Historical and social meetings have been held by most of the
Chapters and there seems much interest among the members of
this District. Respectfully submitted,

Miss Lowry Shuford, Director of District No. 3.

102 Minutes of the Twenty-fifth Annual Convention

District No. 4

The annual session of the Fourth District of the United Daugh-
ters of the Confederacy was held May 25, 1921, at the Commercial
Club in Mount Airy, with the Chapter at that place the hostess
to the North Wilkesboro and the Winston-Salem Chapters. These
three Chapters compose District No. 4. At one o'clock, a delicious
luncheon was served and immediately following the meeting was
called together by Mrs. J. C. Hollingsworth, President of the
Mount Airy Chapter, who graciously welcomed the visitors. This
was responded to by Mrs. W. 0. Spencer, of Winston-Salem, after
which Mrs. H. L. Riggins, the District leader, took charge of the
business.

Splendid reports were given from each Chapter in the District.
Mrs. Coffey, of North Wilkesboro, presenting the report of the
Wilkes Valley Guards Chapter. This Chapter reported all taxes
paid; $31.00 paid to the Gettysburg Monument Fund; $16.00 to-
ward the free bed at Sanatorium.

The Chapter stood as one among five who had sold the largest
number of copies of "The Women of the South in War Times."

Memorial Day celebrated and forty-four war records collected.
These, with a donation to the Woman's Confederate Home, were
the outstanding features of the year's work.

The report of the Mount Airy Chapter was made by the Secre-
tary, Mrs. Marvin Ellis, who reported all taxes paid; $5.00 sent
to free bed at Sanatorium; $50.00 donated to aged veteran and
wife; $5.00 donated to beautify the cemetery; five copies of "Wo-
men of the South in War Times" sold.

The report of the James B. Gordon Chapter was presented by
Mrs. James K. Norfleet, who reported a roster of 133 members;
all taxes paid; $5.00 sent to the North Carolina Room in Rich-
mond; $20.00 to veterans; Hero Fund paid. The interest of the
Chapter is centered now around the State Convention, which will
be held with us in October.

The various calls of the State and General Division were pre-
sented for the consideration of the body, especially the new regis-
tration. Mrs. Riggins stressed the sale of the book, "Women of
the South in War Times," and spoke most interestingly of the
Hero Fund, which is the outstanding feature of the year's work.

A few minutes were spent in an animated discussion of matters
of interest to the Chapters. Following this Mrs. Riggins thanked
the hostess Chapter for its courtesy and kindness to the visiting
delegates. Respectfully submitted,

Mrs. W. O. Spencer, Secretary,
Mrs. H. L. Riggins, Director.

United Daughters of the Confederacy 103

District No. 5

The annual meeting of District No. 5 was held in Salisbury,
June 3rd. After a delightful buffet luncheon at the home of Mrs.
F. F. Smith, the delegates convened in business session in the Old
Hickory Club. China Grove, High Point, Lexington, Salisbury,
and Thomasville responded to roll-call. Concord was again un-
represented. A short memorial program in honor of President
Jefferson Davis was given precedence. In view of the day, it is of
intei'est to note that the gavel of the Robert F. Hope Chapter,
used by the presiding officer, is made from a piece of the wood
of the funeral car of President Davis, the car in which he made
his royal progress back to his Capitol at Richmond.

Reports from the United Daughters of the Confederacy Chap-
ters and the Children of the Confederacy Chapters showed all
were meeting their obligations and doing valuable work. The
Charles F. Fisher Chapter, Children of the Confederacy, of Salis-
bury, has been revived, according to the promise of the Robert F.
Hoke Chapter, made last year at Thomasville, and reported active
progress. Mocksville was suggested as a promising field for a
United Daughters of the Confederacy Chapter, and Jamestown for
a United Daughters of the Confederacy and a Children of the
Confederacy Chapter.

From a District point of view, the two important features were:

1. The establishment of a District Scholarship in the School of
Business at the North Carolina College for Women, the same not
to be held more than one year in succession by the incumbent,

2. The selection of the week of General Lee's birthday, January
19, 1922, as the week in which each Chapter of the Fifth District
will devote its efforts to securing donations for the Lee Memorial
Fund of Washington and Lee University.

Miss Mary Henderson was re-elected District Director.
An invitation from China Grove for the District meeting of 1922
was accepted.

At the close of the business, the delegates were entertained by
the Children of the Confederacy on the Old Hickory Roof Garden,
from which the guests enjoyed the beautiful views of Salisbury
and the surrounding country.

Respectfully submitted,

Mary Henderson,
Director of District No. 5.

District No. 6
Madam President:

District No. 6, consisting of the following Chapters: Randolph

104 Minutes of the Twenty-fifth Annual Convention

Chapter, Asheboro; Charles Fisher Chapter, Burlington; Guilford
Chapter, Greensboro; Graham Chapter, Graham; Rockingham
Chapter, Reidsville; Chalmers Glenn Chapter, Leaksville-Spray,
met in their regular yearly meeting with the Guilford Chapter,
Greensboro, April 7th. The meeting was opened by the Lord's
Prayer in concert. Miss Lizzie Lindsay, President of the Guil-
ford Chapter then welcomed the visiting Chapters in a charming
manner. Mrs. J. D. Kernodle of Graham, District Leader, re-
sponded to Miss Lindsey's welcome and introduced Mrs. Thomas
W. Wilson of Gastonia, North Carolina State Division President.

Mrs. Wilson made a most inspiring address. She said, among
the numerous other good things during her talk, that the motto
typified by the five points of the U. D. C. Star; pray, think, dare,
live, love, could be the true guiding star. Pray to prove worthy
of the great cause; think over and become informed of every
phase of the work; know all the causes for which the U. D. C.
works and for which it stands; live, vitalize the work; love, for in
love there is service.

She also emphasized the importance of Historical work and of
co-operating with the Text-Book Committee in order to correct
the unfair statements regarding the South during the War Be-
tween the States and even after, with which history and literature
abound. Mrs. Wilson called the District's attention to the numer-
ous prizes offered by the State and National Organizations. She
stressed the various monumental funds, chief among which is the
Gettysburg Monument Fund.

One of the most appealing thoughts in Mrs. Wilson's speech
was the fact that the U. D. C.'s might let their love which has
warmed and blessed many an old Veteran, extend to the new
Veterans of the World War and in numberless tender tokens ease
the pain and hurt of hundreds who are this very minute in hos-
pitals all over the South as well as the entire United States.

Mrs. Kernodle expressed appreciation in behalf of the delega-
tion to Mrs. Wilson for her very splendid address.

Next came the reports of each Chpter represented, and every
Chapter in the District was represented. Every report, without
an exception, was an expression of work, enthusiasm, and service.

The District Convention was invited to meet with the Randolph
Chapter at Asheboro next year.

Altogether this year's annual Convention was a perfect success,
and each delegate must in part carry back to her home Chapter
some of the interest and enthusiasm which typified the meeting.

A delicious luncheon was served the guests in the dining room
of the Country Club house at 12:30. Immediately after

United Daughters of the Confederacy 105

luncheon the visitors were invited into the parlor and were enter-
tained by musical numbers consisting of a trio and two solos by
Mesdames Charles Reaves, Joe Taylor and Charles Banks.

As District Leader I have written to each Chapter many times
urging them to respond to the appeal of our President for proper
registration, as it means so much to our voting strength at Con-
ventions. It was my great desire to meet with each Chapter in
the District during the year. Sickness and other things prevented
my doing so. The Chapters have all done good work, met most
obligations and I have three reports contesting for medal.

I was invited to meet with Chalmers Glenn Chapter at Leaks-
ville-Spray; Randolph Chapter, Asheboro; and Charles Fisher
Chapter, Burlington. I only had the pleasure of meeting with the
Burlington Chapter, but was delighted with the work the Chapter
was doing and they have a splendid report for the year.
Respectfully submitted,

Mrs. J. D. Kernodle,
District Leader No. 6.

District No. 7

The Seventh District is composed of the Chapters of Albemarle,
Monroe, Wadesboro, Laurinburg, Ellerbe, Norwood and Frank
Bennett Children's Chapter of Wadesboro. Of these Chapters, I
regret to say Laurinburg, Norwood and Ellerbe have been inactive
for several years. Laurinburg has recently been reinstated and
we hope before another Convention time rolls around to be able
to report the same of Norwood and Ellerbe. Our Chapters all
report regular meetings with good attendance, all dues paid, all
special days observed and practically all calls responded to. Mon-
roe reports a delightful reception given for benefit of Confederate
Home at Fayetteville and has raised $125.00 to furnish a U. D. C.
room in the new hospital at Monroe. Wadesboro Chapter gave a
splendid reunion to Veterans September 16th.

Albemarle Chapter sent a box of home-made candy to each occu-
pant of Confederate Home at Christmas and later canned goods
and two dozen pair of hose. This Chapter's special pride is the
scholarship which it gives at the Albemarle N. and I. Institute.
The beneficiary of this scholarship, after four years at the school,
graduated the past summer and Chapter sent her a check for
$25.50, bought her commencement clothes and individual members
gave her nice graduation presents. Another girl has been selected
for the scholarship and is now at the college.

Frank Bennett Children's Chapter comes last but is not least by
any means, for it is the joy and pride of the whole district. Under

106 Minutes of the Twenty-fifth Annual Convention

the fine leadership of Mrs. Clarence Burns it has made wonderful
progress and has increased its membership this year from fifteen
to sixty-five registered members. Each of these was presented a
Jefferson Davis certificate by General William A. Smith, Com-
mander Second North Carolina Division, U. C. V. This Chapter,
assisted by the Wadesboro Chapter was hostess for the district
meeting which was held at the Wadesboro Country Club, Juen 3rd.
We were especially fortunate to have with us at this meeting our
State President, Mrs. Thomas W. Wilson; Mrs. Strayhorn, Direc-
tor of Children's Chapters; our Third Vice-President, Miss Mary
Mabry, and our own Ex-President, Mrs. Eugene Little.

The children had prepared a lovely program which was well
rendered at the morning session. A most elegant luncheon was
served, to which the forty or more delegates from Monroe, Albe-
marle and Laurinburg, all of which had driven forty or fifty miles
through the country, did ample justice. Lovely and appropriate
toasts were given by the young President of the Children's Chap-
ter, by Mrs. Frank Bennett and Mrs. John Bennett.

At the afternoon session there were chapter reports, addresses
by State officers, interspersed with music. A unique feature was
the observance, the first that we know of this day, as "Confed-
erate Museum" day, the members bringing a relic or silver offering
for Confederate Museum. The meeting closed by singing "Stars
and Bars Forever."

An invitation to meet with Monroe Chapter was gladly accepted.
To our young hostesses, the Frank Bennett Children's Chapter,
we hereby express our most grateful appreciation for a day long
to be remembered, indeed a perfect day.

Mrs. J. M. Brown, Director.

District No. 10

The annual meeting of the Tenth District was held on the 27th
of April at Smithfield with the Saunders-Holt Chapter. Dele-
gates from Raleigh, Selma, Pittsboro, Cary, Smithfield and Clay-
ton were present. Prominent among those in attendance were
Mrs. Thomas W. Wilson, our beloved State President, and Mrs.
H. A. London, Ex-State President. We were received at the home
of Mrs. William Sanders and later taken to the Methodist Church,
where our meeting was held. Prior to this a most delicious lunch-
eon was served, the local Chapter being hostess.

The meeting was opened with prayer and the beautiful ritual
of the U. D. C. Mrs. Holt, President of Saunders-Holt Chapter,
welcomed the visiting Daughters in a most gracious manner, pre-
senting to them Mrs. H. A. London, the new Director. Mrs. Lon-

United Daughters of the Confederacy 107

don thanked the local Chapter for their cordial welcome and enter-
tainment, then spoke of the marvellous growth of the U. D. C.
in its membership and broad field of activity and the qualities
necessary for leadership in it, introducing Mrs. Wilson as one
in whom these qualities were vested.

In her own sweet, unassuming manner Mrs. Wilson made a
most interesting and instructive talk, touching briefly on all the
phases of our work. This was followed by the singing in unison
of "The Bonnie Blue Flag."

Reports from all the Chapters and Henry A. London C. of C.
were then given. Mrs. H. A. London, of Pittsboro, told of her
visit to the Gettysburg Battlefield and the crying need of a North
Carolina Monument there.

A most interesting paper was read by Mrs. A. J. Ellis, Historian
of Johnston Pettigrew Chapter. This was an account of the en-
gagement between the Merrimac and Monitor and was written
by Capt. W. F. Drake, who witnessed it.

Attention was called to the neglected condition of resting place
of the three hundred Southern heroes who lie where they fell at
Bentonville. The point was made that although we have a marker
there there should be an iron fence to inclose this sacred spot.
This work will be undertaken by the District.

Mrs. H. A. London, State Chairman of Increased Pensions, gave
her very splendid report.

Mrs. Charles Lee Smith, Chairman of the Bodleian Library,
asked for Southern books to be sent to Oxford, England.

Mrs. Holt and Mrs. Ellis delighted all present with stories of
their personal experiences as young girls of the sixties.

Mrs. H. M. London was unanimously elected to retain her
position as Director.

After an invitation to the District to meet in Raleigh next year
and an expression of thanks to the Sanders-Holt Chapter for the
happy day, and the delegates for their good attendance, the meeting
stood adjourned.

It is with great pleasure that I bring to you a new Chapter
formed at Sanford with thirty-one charter members. And we
have every prospect of one at Franklinton in the very near future.
Louisburg will reorganize C. of C. Chapter this fall.
Respectfully submitted,

Mrs. H. M. London, Director.

District No. 13

The Thirteenth District of the North Carolina Division, United
Daughters of the Confederacy, was beautifully entertained by the
John W. Dunham Chapter at the Wilson Country Club, April 29,
1921. The meeting was presided over by our splendid Director,
Mrs. Walter F. Woodard.

On roll-call of the Chapters it was found that every Chapter in
the District was represented, and when the registrar was asked
for the number present she reported 100.

We were very happy to have so many honor guests for our
meeting: Mrs. Thomas W. Wilson, our beloved State President,
who gave us an outline of our woi'k; our War President, Mrs.
Jacksie Daniel Thrash, who told us all about the work of the
Jefferson Davis Monument; Mrs. John L. Bridgers, State Historian,
who pleaded for better and more historical work; Mrs. F. A.
Woodard, State Chaplain, who opened our meeting with our ritual;
then two of our honorary State officers, Mrs. M. 0. Winstead, who
always adds to our meetings with her wise counsel, and that de-
voted Daughter of the sixties, Mrs. J. H. Thorpe.

Our District consists of the Chapters in the following towns:
Wilson, Tarboro, Greenville, Nashville, Spring Hope, Middlesex,
Rocky Mount, and our new Chapter at Farmville, which was or-
ganized by Mrs. Woodard in June. Then five Children of the Con-
federacy Chapters.

The beautiful Powell Banner, given our District by our former
Director. Mrs. Staton, for increased membership, was this year
won by the Bethel Heroes Chapter, of Rocky Mount.

The United Daughters of the Confederacy membership of the
District is 586 with 79 new members. We have registered with
the General Registrar 591, as some of the Chapters are trying to
register all of their members since they were organized.

The Children of the Confederacy has 261 members, with all reg-
istered with the General Division.

Taxes have been paid on 552 members, both in the State and
General Divisions. Every Chapter has paid its Sinking Fund.

110 Minutes of the Twenty-fifth Annual Convention

Five dinners have been given to the veterans and their wives
and widows that are outside of our homes, also fruit, flowers,
tickets to the Reunion, cards written them at Christmas, and many

plies.

At our District meeting a resolution was offered and passed to
bring before the State the erection of a suitable monument to the
memory of General William Dorsey Pender, and Tarboro has
already $500.00 in bank subject to call for this work.

I would go into detail about the beautiful unveiling exercises
when the Winborne Marker was placed in the care of the John W.
Dunham Chapter, but that will be told by one who can do it better
than I, for she has been Chairman of that work since she offered
the suggestion that it should be done.

Receipts for the year for the District, not counting the $500.00
in bank at Tarboro for Pender Monument, $2,579.99; disbursements,
$2,343.07.

District No. 14
The Fourteenth District of the North Carolina Division, United

United Daughters of the Confederacy 111

Daughters of the Confederacy, is composed of eleven Chapters of
United Daughters of the Confederacy, with an active membership
of six hundred and sixteen (616), a gain of eighty-seven (87) mem-
bers for the year, and eight Chapters of the Children of the Con-
federacy, with an active membership of two hundred and eight
(208), an increase for the year of one hundred and forty (140).
Two Chapters, Vanceboro and Mayesville, having ceased to func-
tion during the year, hence no account of these Chapters is taken
in the above.

I have organized during the year, one United Daughters of the
Confederacy Chapter, "Col. G. F. Whitfield," at La Grange, with
a present membership of forty-six (46). Have registered, accord-
ing to the new triple registration, all old Chapters of the United
Daughters of the Confederacy in the District, making every Chap-
ter in the district now correctly registered. This means a com-
plete roll, including transferred, demitted and decreased members.

Have also organized four Children of the Confederacy Chapters,
with a present total membership of one hundred and thirty-seven
(137). The "Mary Francis Hancock" Chapter, at Morehead City,
with a membership of seventy-six (76) ; the "Ann Carter Lee"
Chapter at Beaufort, with seven members (7); the "Col. S. B.
Taylor Chapter, at Jacksonville, with nine members (9), and the
"Joseph Kinsey" Chapter, at La Grange, with twenty members
(20). This Chapter now has applications for thirty (30) new
members. In addition thereto, have registered two old Chapters:
the "Winnie Davis" Chapter at Kinston, with fourteen (14) mem-
bers, and the "Washington Grays," at Washington, with eleven
members (11). This completes the registration of all the Chap-
ters in the District under the new requirements.

In making a survey of the District, the first of the year, I found
much lethargy and inactivity in several Chapters. It therefore
became necessary to do a great deal of work. During the year, I
have visited every Chapter in the District — several Chapters a
number of times — traveling thirteen hundred and seventy-five
(1375) miles, writing three hundred and forty-one (341) letters,
fifty (50) post cards and sending fifty-four (54) telegrams and
telephone messages. The results have fully justified the effort and
expenditure.

On Saturday, April 30th, the annual session of the District meet-
ing was held in Kinston at "Vernon Hall," the beautiful home of
Mrs. C. Felix Harvey, our former Divisional President. We were
happy to have with us our honored Divisional President, Mrs.
Thomas W. Wilson, of Gastonia, who graced the occasion with a
very inspiring address. We had also, Mrs. T. G. Hyman, of New

112 Minutes of the Twenty-fifth Annual Convention

Bern, Divisional Vice-President, and Mrs. D. G. Bell, of Morehead
City, Divisional Registrar.

Letters from Miss Mabry and Mrs. Long were, by request, read
at this meeting. The representatives from the various Chapters
were requested to contribute favorite songs to Mrs. Cheek, our
Musical Director, who is compiling a book of Southern Songs.

Every Chapter in the District was represented, thei'e being about
two hundred delegates and guests present. We were delightfully
entertained by Mrs. Harvey, assisted by the A. M. Waddell Chap-
ter; Mrs. Dan Quinnerly. President, having extended to us a very
cordial welcome.

At this meeting, Mrs. Harvey presented to the District a very
handsome Loving Cup, in memory of her uncle, Capt. George Stan-
ley Dewey, to be awarded annually to the Chapter in District No.
14, making the best record of educational work, including all edu-
cational purposes, Hero Fund, Divisional Educational Fund, Schol-
arships and local co-operative work for education. The writer
offered as a prize, for the largest increase in membership by any
Chapter in the District for the year, ten dollars ($10.00) in gold.

This was by far the most largely attended meeting ever held in
the District, and much enthusiasm was created.

I have taken occasion, through correspondence, to thank the Hon.
Walter Murphy, of Salisbury, member of the House of Represen-
tatives, and the Hon. Solomon Gallert, of Statesville, member of
the State Senate, for their untiring and successful efforts in behalf
of our honored veterans, while the Pension Bill was being consid-
ered by the last Legislature.

Upon inquiry, I find that Maury's United States History is be-
ing taught only in three counties out of eight, comprising the
Fourteenth (14th) District, and strenuous effort is being made to
have these eliminated.

There are taken by two Chapters of the District twenty-six (26)
copies of ''Truths of History," and by the various Chapters of the
District thirty-two (32) copies of "Southern Women in War
Times" — five copies have been presented to the schools. The
amount requested by Mrs. Wilson for the purchase of "Women of
the South in War Times," to be given to the two Confederate
Homes and the Colleges of the State, has been remitted. Nearly
every Chapter in the District are subscribers to the "Veteran."
We hope to very largely increase the circulation next year.
Eleven Historical papers have been prepared and one hundi'ed and
three (103) War Records sent to Mrs. Holt.

Recipes for the United Daughters of the Confederacy Cook Book
have been forwarded to Mrs. Boskinsky. Two (2) handsome pic-

United Daughters of the Confederacy 113

tures have been presented to schools and three prizes of five dollars
($5.00) each have been awarded to high school pupils for best
essay. Five (5) Crosses of Honor have been bestowed and twelve
(12) Markers placed.

Memorial exercises in conjunction with the World War Heroes
have been observed throughout the District and the honored vet-
erans have been graciously remembered by placing wreaths and
flowers on the graves of the departed, and supplying sumptuous
repasts to those still with us. Boxes of fruit, canned goods and
linen have been sent to both Confederate Homes by the Chapters
of the District which have not contributed in money.

The total disbursements from the District for the year amount
to $2,983.67, which includes the amount from sale of the Jefferson
Davis Monument receipts, $130.00. For detail and itemized infor-
mation, see appendix.

Every Chapter in the Fourteenth District is now in fine, healthy
condition, and it gives me great pleasure to acknowledge the
hearty co-operation of the members of the various Chapters in
the development of the work. I feel very sure we will be able to
show very satisfactory progress during the coming year.
Respectfully submitted,

Mrs. Charles S. Wallace,
Director Fourteenth District.

The ninth annual meeting of the Fifteenth District of Halifax
County was held in Enfield, N. C, April 5th, at 11 o clock. Dele-
gates arrived by automobiles from Littleton, Weldon, Halifax and
Scotland Neck. The meeting was called to order by the Director,
in the Baptist Church, which was appropriately decorated with
patriotic colors. Back of the pulpit hung the U. D. C. five-pointed
star, each point representing a distinct feature of the woi'k. Mrs.
E. C. Dunn, President of the hostess Chapter welcomed the visiting
delegates. Mrs. R. S. Travis of Weldon responded in behalf of.
the District, and voiced the appreciation of all. Rev. T. L. Justice
opened the meeting with prayer, after which the beautiful and
impressive U. D. C. Ritual was used. The Director declared the
meeting opened for business.

Our honored State President, Mrs. Thomas W. Wilson, in her
gracious manner, gave a most interesting address which was
based on the five points of the Star of the Confederacy: Think,
Dare, Love, Live and Pray, each word meaning so much in the
noble work. Mrs. R. P. Holt, Third Vice-President General, made
a splendid talk on the work of organizing Children's Chapters, and
urged each Chapter to organize. Mr. R. B. House, State Collector
of War Records, impressed his hearers with his earnest appeal fo-
collecting all historical data. The following songs were sung:
solo, "Our Own Stars and Bars Will Live Forever," by Miss Ri
Reade and chorus; "Suwanee River," by Enfield High School st.
dents; solo, "Goodbye," by Rev. T. L. Justice; "Old Kentucky
Home," by quartet. The meeting was closed with "Dixie."

All Chapters had splendid reports, including the Children's
Chapter of Halifax. Adult membership 212, all of whom were
registered and most of them have been re-registered. New mem-
bers, 24. Have two registered Children's Chapters, one at Hali-
fax and one at Weldon, which has recently been organized with
28 members.

Six war records and four historical papers have been sent in.
Two Crosses of Honor presented Veterans. Eight subscribers to
"The Veteran." Fifteen copies of "Southern Women in War
Times" sold. $8.00 sent to "Stars and Bars Memorial," $20.00 to
State Educational Fund. Each Chapter has paid the $1.15 per
capita to the "Hero Fund," except Weldon, which gave $3.00. A

United Daughters of the Confederacy 115

war cannon was mounted on the Graded School campus at Weldon
at a cost of $85.00 to the Junius Daniel Chapter. Each Chapter
contributed $5.00 to both Confederate Homes, besides sending
boxes of canned goods, quilts, rugs, etc. Scotland Neck gave a
towel shower for the Confederate Women's Home. Eight mark-
ers were placed on Veterans' graves; $5.00 sent to Nurse's Fund,
$12.50 to Gettysburg Monument, $2 to N. C. room in Richmond,
Va., $7 to free bed at Montrose Sanatorium. Contributions were
also sent to General Educational Fund and Confederate Relief
Fund; $24.25 were sent to Jefferson Davis Monument. Sold by
Director, ten Jefferson Davis souvenir receipts, $10.00, and eleven
contributions solicited to Lee Memorial Fund, $11.00. A copy of
"Southern Women in War Times" was presented to the Grade:!
School at Enfield, and one to the Graded School at Scotland Neck.
Each Chapter observed all memorial days with appropriate exer-
cises. Have liberally aided sick Veterans and Daughters and at-
tended the funerals of all Veterans, placing evergreen wreaths and
Confederate flags upon their graves.

The Director visited each Chapter during the year, also tried tr>
organize Chapters in Whitakers and Roanoke Rapids. The Chap-
ter at Enfield has $100.00 in the savings department of the Ban":
cf Enfield, to be added to and used in buying markers for t1
Confederate dead. The Frank M. Parker Chapter of Enfield gave
$25.00, a drugget, and members gave clothing, furniture and a
pounding to two Daughters, who lost their home by fire. Two
Chapters support an Armenian orphan. Historical programs are
used by some of the Chapters. The Director has written 158 Dis-
trict letters, 35 cards, 90 letters and 45 cards for her Chapter
since January, 1921. Two memorial trees were planted on the
Enfield Graded School Campus in memory of the two boys who
lost their lives in France. The District accepted the invitation
to meet with Scotland Neck Chapter next April.

At the conclusion of the meeting, a bountiful luncheon was served
in the Sunday School Department. The color scheme was carried
out and small Confederate flags were given as favors.
Respectfully submitted,

Katie W. Riddick,
Director of District No. 15.

District No. 16

The annual meeting of the Sixteenth District, N. C. Division of
the U. D. C, met in the annex of the First Baptist Church in
Elizabeth City, N. C, May 17, 1921. The meeting was opened by
Rev. H. E. Myers, pastor City Road Methodist Church with an

j 16 Minutes of the Twenty-fifth Annual Convention

appropriate scripture reading. A talk on "The Accomplishment
of Women," followed by prayer. The audience then sang "Star-
Spangled Banner."

Mrs. Glover, President of the D. H. Hill Chapter, delivered the
address of welcome in behalf of the Chapter; words of welcome in
the name of their city were extended visitors by Mr. Job, President
of Chamber of Commerce. His words were well chosen and he
paid a beautiful tribute to our organization, saying it was an honor
to entertain ladies of such an organization as ours, women with
vision and vim, with backbone instead of a wishbone.

These words of welcome were followed by response by Miss
Ella Early of Aulander in very appropriate and beautiful words.

Our District Leader, Mrs. E. L. Gatling, was then introduced
by Mrs. Glover. She gave an account of District meeting held
in Windsor May, 1920.

She then gave an outline of Chapters in our District, reporting
ten adult Chapters and one Children's Chapter. The work of the
Joseph Cherry Chapter, Merry Mill, was specially mentioned.

Mrs. Gatling then made an earnest plea for contributions to the
Gettysburg marker, saying she thought it was the least we could
do to be anxious to complete some memorial to the brave men of
the sixtiets who went farthest in the heat of the battle. Also told
us that the Jefferson Davis monument had been turned over to
our organization for completion and expressed a desire that that
work be accomplished as soon as possible.

The next thing on the program was a duet beautifully rendered
by Mesdames Will Twiddy and J. L. Pritchard.

Mrs. Thomas W. Wilson, our State President, was introduced
by Mrs. E. L. Gatling. Her address was full of inspiration and
interest to us all. Her theme was "The Things We Already Know
and Getting a Clear Vision of What We Are Supposed to Do."
She contrasted our first General Convention and our last one which
met in Asheville, telling us that in the twenty-seven years our
number had reached nearly 100,000, 6,000 of which are in our
Dilvision.

In beautiful and effective words she told us of what we had done
and set before us what our goal should be, in the meantime urging
us to stimulate interest among the young people and children so
that the Confederacy may not die.

Mrs. Wilson then spoke of the prizes which are offered for the
best papers written on subjects pertaining to the Confederacy,
and recommended this as a means of creating interest among
high school pupils.

The educational work was then discussed and the importance of

United Daughters of the Confederacy 117

it was forcefully brought out. Mrs. Wilson explained fully the
Hero Fund. Also told us that the month of June had been set
aside as the month to work for the Jefferson Davis Monument.
She asked that we observe June 3rd and that we ask that Jeffer-
son Davis' favorite hymn be sung in our churches the Sunday
before his birthday.

We then entered the business session. Minutes of last meeting
were read, followed by roll call of chapters, five chapters report-
ing. Committees were appointed on nomination and time and
place. Just at this time we were delighted to see three Confed-
erate Veterans come in. They were asked for remarks to which all
responded, after which we adjourned for dinner.

A bountiful feast of good things was served us in the social room
of the church, which was beautifully decorated with our colors.
We had the pleasure of enjoying beautiful music rendered by the
Elizabeth City Orchestra during the repast.

The afternoon session opened at 2:30 with Mrs. E. L. Gatling
presiding. Mrs. Glover introduced Mr. W. O. Saunders, editor of
The Independent, to make a talk. He said the one big thing con-
fronting womanhood today is world disarmament, and urged us
as an organization to make propaganda against war as long as
we have an organization.

A letter was then read from Mrs. Little urging the ladies to
help on the Cunningham Memorial, the founder of the Confederate
Veteran.

Mrs. Gatling then made an earnest appeal for Davis Monument
and in this appeal urged the daughters to be faithful to our
heroes, who were first at Bethel, farthest at Gettysburg and
last at Appomattox. Mrs. Wilson made a short talk in which
she told us the Rebecca Winborne Marker in Wilson was unveiled
at 1921 District meeting. Also spoke of bed at Montrose and told
us about our patient there. Mrs. Noah Burfoot then sang for us
very beautifully "Sweet Genevieve."

Business session was again entered into. Edenton and Hertford
had sent in by request histories of their chapters which were
read. The District Leader asked that they be recorded in the
Secretary's book, also added that she hoped to get the history of
each Chapter in our District.

A letter from Mrs Long, our State Treasurer, was read, asking
each Chapter to send money now to what they had failed to
respond to as the expenses this year were even greater than
before.

Mrs. Wilson then explained what the Woman's Relief Fund is,
stating that it was to help old Confederate ladies where there are

118 Minutes of the Twenty-fifth Annual Convention

no organizations. She also mentioned the $1,000,000 Pension,
■which has just heen granted the old soldiers.

Mrs. E. L. Gatling then presented resolutions which she asked
that each Chapter adopt. The resolutions were adopted. The
audience then joined in singing "Carolina."

Mrs. Wilson suggested that each Chapter ask some capable man
or woman who is interested in the Confederacy to give a hostorical
address once or twice a year for the benefit of school children and
also to place pictures in schools of Confederate heroes.

The report of Committee on Nominations was then called for.
Mrs. E. L. Gatling, Windsor, N. C, was re-elected District Leader.
Mrs. H. M. Bell, Windsor, N. C, was re-elected Secretary. Report
on time and place was then called for. On account of so many
Chapters not being represented the time and place was left open
for communication.

Resolutions of appreciation in behalf of the delegates and visi-
tors were drawn up and read by Miss Ella Early, Aulander, N. C.

Mr. Matthews, one of the Veterans, made a few impressive re-
marks concerning their camp and asked for advice or any sug-
gestions from the Daughters as to how they might maintain their
camp as their officers were fast thinning out. One of the Daugh-
ters of the D. H. Hill Chapter made a motion that their Chapter
adopt this camp and have their meeting together. This motion
was carried.

Owing to the lateness of the hour the meeting came to a clcse
with a delightful automobile ride over the city and through the
trucking section near the city, past colonial residences of his-
torical interest.

A reception was given in honor of the Daughters in the spa-
cious and hospitable home of Mrs. Charles Robertson.

Since the meeting the District Leader has been busy visiting the
Chapters and writing them monthly letters. Aulander, Ahoskie,
Edenton, Elizabeth City, Winton and Windsor are correctly reg-
istered, while the Merry Hill, Hertford, Gatesville and Murfrees-
boro Chapters are busy looking up old applications. A Chil-
dren's Chapter has been organized in Aulander.

Reunion, Confederate Veterans, at Chattanooga.

We gave fine dinner to all old soldiers in Orange and Chatham —

eloquent and inspiring address. Altogether, I think it about the
best observance of the 10th we have had.

ble for any member to go at this time.

We send our greetings to the U. D. C. assembled in Convention,

what a pleasure it was to us. Our Historian has secured twenty-
five War Records, and hopes to report more next time. We have
lost four members by death and two by demit. We have two new
members and many prospects.

By reason of the fact that we were fortunate in having the Con-
federate Reunion of Veterans in August, it was our privilege and

month at the Home, and committees, carrying magazines, etc.,
have visited the sick at Camp Bragg. January 19th, May 10th
and June 3rd were appropriately observed, and a sumptuous din-
ner served to about 150 veterans and other guests. The Children's
Chapter has been revived and entirely reorganized, and, due to

reminiscences and three historical essays have been sent in to

the sixties have been collected. Laurel wreaths have been sent to
the graves of Confederate veterans and ladies at the Home, and
to the graves of soldiers killed in the World War, and in January

who had died during the year. The Chapter has striven for text

did talks on the lives of Generals Lee and Jackson, respectively,
and our dear old friend, Capt. T. W. Slocumb, was master of cere-
monies at this meeting, and served again on May 10th, when Mr.
Kenneth Royall made the memorial address. Through the Chap-
ter's influence, the Kiwanis Club of Goldsboro offered to pay the
expenses of ten (10) Confederate Veterans to the Reunion at Dur-
ham. Only six could accept. During the summer the Chapter
aided two sick veterans passing through the city. At Thanksgiving
and Christmas a committee of five Daughters visited all veterans
in the city and carried baskets of "goodies." These visits are
always appreciated and the Daughters are often entertained with
stories of the "Days that tried men's souls."

the unveiling all old Veterans and their wives at our expense. The
U. D. C.'s donated a wreath of poppies for the marker, and as
many as a hundred designs were later taken to the old soldiers'
graves in our two towns.

Grimes cottage at the Old Soldiers' Home. After giving it the nec-
essary comforts, we shall at intervals send such things as will
bring cheer and comfort to the two old heroes who will occupy the
room.

PITTSBORO— WINNIE DAVIS CHAPTER, No. 259

The Winnie Davis Chapter was organized in October, 1898, by-
Mrs. William Parsley, the mother and founder of the North Caro-
lina Division. We have on our roll 140 members; 14 have died
and 39 removed, leaving us 86 actual members. , We have paid
$42.50 in taxes— $1.00 Sinking Fund; $35.00 to Gettysburg Monu-
ment; $20.00 to the Hero Fund; $1.00 to tuberculosis bed; $1.00
for Stars and Bars memorial; $1.00 to Cunningham Memorial;
$18.00 for fruit, flowers and necessities for veterans; $12.00 for
telegrams to Legislators to work for increased pensions, in addition
to writing 25 letters. What Chapter did that much? We always
send laurel wreath and Confederate flag to every veteran who dies
within reach of us. Have just paid out $30.00 for marble markers
for soldiers' graves. We sent out cards of announcement to every
veteran in the county to come to the fine celebration and dinner
on 10th of May. Hon. R. O. Everett, of Durham, who worked
hard for pensions, made a splendid speech on that occasion. We
asked our County Commissioners to pay the expenses of the Chat-
ham county veterans to the last Reunion and to Chattanooga. We
are studying the Confederate Navy, and are especially interested
in Admiral Maury, called "The Pathfinder of the Seas." By his
devices and bombs in the harbor, he kept the Yankees from Rich-
mond a long while. We gave $35.00 to the Admiral Maury Mon-
ument in Richmond. We have already given our per capita to
Jefferson Davis Monument. Our Relief Committee seeks out cases
of sick or needy veterans. We will send them cards at Thanks-
giving. We gave three bright rugs to the Winnie Davis Chapter
Room at the Soldiers' Home last Christmas. Our Winnie Davis
Chapter is alive and active.

We have paid out $100.00 for a tablet to be unveiled in our High
School to the World War boys who went from that school. It is
to be unveiled this fall. It will cost $150.00. We gave a splendid
dinner to our veterans at our Reunion this year. One hundred and
twenty-five partook of it, besides the veterans. The Henry London
Children's Chapter is working hard to erect a fence around our
Confederate Monument. They will have a Hallowe'en party to
make money for it. When possible we have veterans from our
county to give us talks on their experiences in the war. In No-
vember, a veteran who was a Junior Reserve, will give us a talk,,
and we are looking forward to it with pleasure.

Mrs. Henry A. London, Preside.

first President. One was elected later. "We gave $1.00 to Rebecca
Winbourne Marker. Two new members have been added to our
roll and two more applications to be passed on. We have con-
tributed $5.00 to a scholarship at Flora Macdonald College. A copy

RALEIGH— JOHNSTON PETTIGREW CHAPTER, No. 95

bourne Marker and Woman's Relief; gave $25.00 to Gettysburg
Monument; $10.00 each to Educational Fund and Cunningham
Memorial; 17 copies of "Women of the South in War Times." In
November, our Chapter had a birthday party at Soldiers' Home
for Captain Cathey, celebrating his ninety-ninth birthday. This
was a real party with toasts and speeches, music and songs and a
huge home-made cake aflame with candles. At Christmas we
'attended the Christmas tree given the veterans at the Home by
the Manly's Battery Chapter. January was perhaps our most

United Daughters of the Confederacy 147

active month. We entertained the wives of the Legislators the
three times we met — once our regular meeting, then an extra
meeting to hear Mrs. St. Clair speak on the Lee Memorial, then
at our Lee-Jackson Day exercises, which were held in the Capitol.
Our Gettysburg Day was intensely interesting. Papers were read
on "North Carolina's Part at Gettysburg," "Pettigrew at Gettys-
burg," and the President, having recently been there told of her
visit to the battlefield and her feeling of shame, that with all this
glorious record of hers, North Carolina had no monument there.
The Chapter voted $25.00 to the Gettysburg Monument. We gave
our annual dinner to the veterans on May 10th. This included the
men at the Home and the Wake County Veterans, 150. The Gov-
ernor and his staff were guests of the occasion. After a perfect
dinner, the men adjourned to seats on the lawn, where speeches
were made, songs were sung and much reminiscising done. At the
appointed hour beautifully decorated automobiles sent by the Ro-
tary and Kiwanis Clubs carried the veterans to the Capitol to join
the military parade of 1,000 State College cadets, who acted as an
escort to the Confederate cemetery, where our memorial exercises
were held. Can you picture a more beautiful sight than was ours
on entering the cemetery gates, where more than a thousand Con-
federate flags were waving over the graves of our Southern dead?
A flag by each stone. On June 3, impressive exercises were held
in the chapel at the Home, when Dr. D. H. Hill made a splendid
address. We contributed ice cream and cigars to the veterans'
dinner that day. In August, we asked the Rotary Club to supply
automobiles to carry the veterans to Durham to the Reunion, which
they did, bringing them back two days later. Truly the Johnston
Pettigrew Chapter has never been more keenly alive to active Con-
federate work. Our March meeting was one of rejoicing. The
Pension Bill has been successful, and we had with us again our
beloved Josephus Daniels. We sent to Lexington a beautiful laurel
wreath to be placed by General Lee's statue for the 19th. On
January 20th we made moving pictures at the Soldiers' Home,
showing the veterans receiving their Crosses of Honor.

worth of shrubs and ornamental trees for the old cemetery in our

ful dinner. We responded to all appeals to the best of our ability.

REMARKS

When we organized, the children elected a very able girl to serve
as President. She had a great uncle in the war, but we have been
unable to find his record in the roster. The Chapter feels that it

160 Minutes of the Twenty-fifth Annual Convention

cannot get along without her, consequently we have at least 12 or
15 children to register that cannot register until the President does
so. We shall continue our search until our October meeting and
then elect a new President. On the 4th of July we decorated a
float for our parade and received the first prize of $10.00. The
money was turned over to the mother Chapter as a loan.

REMARKS

The J. D. Moore Chapter has shown a most active, wide-awake
enthusiasm this fall and has planned splendid work for the coming
year. The large membership and difference in ages justified sep-
arating into a Junior and Senior division, which promises a pro-
nounced advantage. Forty-four certificates have been given and
all will have them soon. Each of the one hundred and sixty-eight
members are knitting squares to be made into a quilt for the J. D.
Moore Chapter's room at the Soldiers' Home. Another inspiration
is in the little crippled children of the North Carolina Orthopaedic
Hospital, to which the Chapter is responding happily. In offering
the Loving Cup to the Children's Chapter of the Division, we note
already a great increase in membership, for which we feel deepest
gratification. Bless the children and their splendid achievements,
and let theirs be the work our greatest efforts are directed toward,
for through them God has truly opened the way.

REMARKS

The Zeb Vance Boys' Chapter held regular meetings during
entire year with a social feature combined. The mother of the
Chapter, our beloved State President, Mrs. Wilson, delighted the
boys with an old-fashioned candy pulling during the winter, and
Mrs. F. L. Wilson entertained them on the 20th of May with their
mothers as special guests. The mothers helped to swell the fund
for the Old Soldiers' Home, also gave them sox and towels. Chap-
ter has responded to all calls made with generous contributions.
Sent personal Easter cards to many of the soldiers. One of the
boys represented the Chapter at our District meeting in the Spring.
Chapter has taken a room at the Old Soldiers' Home to be known
as Zeb Vance room, and with help of mother Chapter, hope to
make it comfortable. Their chief joy and work is the Old Soldiers'
Home. Two boys of the Chapter visited the Old Soldiers' Home
during the summer.

the sixties. Both of these veterans belonged to the famous Twenty-
sixth North Carolina Regiment and both had seen Generals R. E.
Lee and Stonewall Jackson, Pettigrew and others, and these per-
sonal recollections held an added charm for the audience. After
the program the veterans kindly signed many application blanks

Our work this year has been very intex-esting. We have responded
to all calls, quite a bit of charity work has been done, fruit, flow-
ers and substantials carried to Confederate Veterans and widows
of veterans. We clothe one of the ladies at Confederate Home for
Women, and at Christmas each member contributed not only a
gift but a cheery greeting, also a small purse containing several
dollars. Our flower committee has carried wreaths to one Confed-
erate Veteran's funeral and to several World War Veterans. The
10th of May was observed as usual. Our Chapter sang several
selections for the veterans, then marched in a body to the Confed-
erate Monument and while "The Stars and Bars" was softly sung

Convinced the most important work now before the Southern
people is of courageous organizations through which to set before
its children the truth of its history so as to defeat the pernicious
influence of ignorant and prejudiced writers, whose works in biog-
raphy, history and fiction are insiduously infiltrating our schools
and maliciously and intentionally undermining the true interpreta-
tion of our history; all Manly's Battery works followed two lines
of propaganda for establishment of truth in appreciative service
to the living and dead Confederate soldiers. First: We have in
tribute to the living employed every agency to carry facts of im-
portance concerning the status of the veterans of this State to all
its people, using the press, legislative hall, and moving pictures,
and thereto enlisting every resource in the fight for increased
pensions; co-operated with Community Service Bureau in making
and routing moving pictures of presentation of crosses to veterans,
Girls' Friendly Society in Christmas activities, tree at hospital
with Mrs. Bickett as "Perennial Mrs. Santa Claus," secured
from Senator Overman and Representative Pou seed that
set in motion prize flower bed contest. Second: In memory of
the dead, we have used every agency to sustain the revival of
interest in the Confederacy, its policies and constitution, so to
inform the minds of young people of the inspiration of those who
died for the right of self determination, that the North and West
may not shame us with a more intelligent appreciation of the
ancient gospel of the Southern Confederacy. To this end we have
installed memorial to our Godmother, Miss Kate West, have placed
30 books in Raney Library, distributed 350 papers, 300 Lincoln
pamphlets, 20 Minor's Lincoln, 24 articles deploring use of Muzzy's
History in North Carolina, co-operated with Welby Carter Chap-

leges, schools, universities, libraries in Europe and throughout the
States of the Union.

182 Minutes of the Twenty-fifth Annual Convention

Jn Hfcmarram

The business of the convention of the Daughters of the Confed-
eracy paused for a brief interval in a memorial service to the de-
ceased Veterans and loyal Daughters of the Southland.

These services in memory of our departed Daughters were pre-
sided over by Mrs. F. A. Woodward, Chaplain of the Division.

After the singing of "Nearer My God to Thee," the invocation
was pronounced by Dr. J. K. Foster of the First Presbyterian
Church. An appropriate musical selection was rendered by Miss
Antoinette Glenn.

After a reading of the scriptures, the roll was called of departed
Daughters of the Division during the past year, twenty-six in
number.

Mrs. Woodward then gave the following beautiful tribute to these
devoted members of the U. D. C:

"We do well to pause at this time to pay tribute to those of
our number who with us have labored to keep alive in the minds
of succeeding generations the glory that was in the ideals and
sacrifices of the sixties, those who a year ago were with us in
our annual meeting and rendering a service as vital in the seclusion
of our hundreds of local organizations. Their minds have ceased
to plan our activities and their hands to execute, but who will dare
say they have ceased to live? They have only crossed from a range
of human vision to a larger life. If we look about us we shall
find that we are fulfilling plans of those who have labored here
for a while and the scheme of present activity is larger because
they saw and in faith projected. They have lived faithful to the
ideals. of the Daughters of the Confederacy, and in that they have
been loyal to all the ideals of citizenship. Gathering up into :
beautiful life the details of each day's work, the commonplace seen
in isolated deeds, is lost in the brightness of a rich life. We are
sure the summons came to them in such an hour as they were busy
with some divinely appointed task and we can say of them with
Millman:

" 'Death cannot come
To him untimely who is fit to die;
The less of this cold world, the more of heaven;
The briefer life, the earlier immortality.'
"To them death was a stage in human progress, a passage from

United Daughters of the Confederacy 183

children into the full life of maturity. We love to think of
these as

" 'Star by star declines
Till all are passed away,

As morning high and higher shines to pure and perfect day;
Nor sinks those stars in empty night
They hide themselves in heavens pure light.'

"The passing of each of these has marked, somewhere in our
State, personal sorrows, personal loss and a realization of friend-
ship's true meaning. We would extend comfort to those who sor-
row in the words of Robert Hall: 'The friendship of high and
sanctified spirits loses nothing by death, but its alloy; failings
disappear, and the virtues of those whose faces we shall behold
no more appear greater and more sacred when beheld through the
shades of the sepulchre.' Like Jonathan at the evening time, you
may be lonely and your heart may hunger for your friend, yet
there is joy for each in the comradeship of spirit.

"As the days pass each of us will know the call in the heart of
Tennyson, his very soul pleading for the loved Hallam:

" 'O for the touch of a vanished hand
And the sound of a voice that is still.'
And comfort comes out of the prayer when we know that,
" 'Far off thou art, but ever nigh;
I have thee still and I rejoice;
I prosper circled with thy voice;
I shall not lose thee tho' I die.'

"We pause today not to lament but to rejoice, and as we recount
the deeds of love and mercy done by these and recorded in the
Book of Life our hearts are filled with a holy joy. While their
common dust, their deeds shall live after them, immortal as the
names may be forgotten and their mortal bodies mingle in the
soul and precious in the sight of Him who was from the beginning.
My sisters, these gave of time and means that the glorious deeds
of our fathers might oe kept to the day of our children's children.
That there may be an ever increasing heritage of patriotism should
be our work today and in the coming days. Our sons and brothers
have brought new glory to the banner of our common country and
though we meet today as Daughters of the Confederacy, we shall
labor to weave these deeds of valor done on Flanders fields under
a foreign sky into the new spirit of America, a single heritage of
patriotism for a new generation. These sisters of ours saw this
new day from afar, and rejoiced in its coming. 'Tis our privilege

184 Minutes of the Twenty-fifth Annual Convention

to bring it nigh, and in its inspiring presence to labor. The
labored in faith, and wrought mightily and we rejoice in what they
achieved. Of them we may say:

' Life's race well run;
Life's work well done;
Life's crown well won;
Now comes rest.' "

A memorial to Mrs. J. Bryan Grimes, Honorary President of the
Division, was read by Mrs. Henry M. London of Raleigh.

A memorial to Mrs. Eva Hendren Martin of Winston-Salem
was read by Mrs. W. 0. Spencer.

The Chaplain then read a memorial written by Hon. Samuel A.
Ashe to the late General James I. Metts, Commander of the Con-
federate Veterans of North Carolina.

The Recording Secretary read resolutions on General Metts,
prepared by a committee appointed by the President.

A beautiful floral tribute was presented by the Children's Chap-
ter of Winston-Salem in loving memory of all the Daughters of the
Division who had passed to their final rest during the past year.

The benediction was given by Rev. Dr. Foster, and this im-
pressive and solemn service ended.

MEMORIAL TO MRS. BRYAN GRIMES

Mrs. Charlotte E. Grimes, widow of the late General Bryan
Grimes, died at her residence in Raleigh Saturday, December 11,
1920. In the passing to the Great Beyond of her spirit, we realize
that something true and precious has taken its flight, but in quick
succession comes the thought that "Eye hath not seen, nor ear
heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man, the things
which God hath prepared for them that love Him."

Mrs. Grimes' home had been at Grimesland, Pitt County, for
more than fifty years, but her health having failed, she had been
living in Raleigh for the past two years.

Mrs. Grimes was born in Raleigh January 27, 1840, and was
the daughter of the late Hon. John H. Bryan and his wife, Mary
W. Shepard. She was educated at St. Mary's School in Raleigh
and at Madame Carpentier's in Philadelphia. In her younger days
she was an accomplished musician and she had always been noted
for her poise, grace and remarkable beauty. Her girlhood was
. spent at the capital of the State in the midst of all the enjoyments
of a refined and cultured society. She was a "Belle of the Sixties,''

United Daughters of the Confederacy 185

beautiful and accomplished, besides possessing great strength of
character and a deep sense of religion.

In September, 1863, she married General Bryan Grimes, C. S. A.,
and spent the winters of 1863-64 and 1864-65 with her husband in
the Army of Northern Virginia.

About 1866 when the war clouds had dissolved, General Grimes
brought his young wife and infant on to the Grimesland Planta-
tion to make their home where his ancestors had lived and were
buried. Many years of happiness ensued, their home was noted
for hospitality and elegance. In fact General Grimes evinced his
heart's desire to shield his wife from all adversity and to surround
her with every luxury. And to his children he gave the best ad-
vantages of education and mental uplift that could be found. His
greatest happiness was in his devotion to his wife and children.
The thought of their future appeared to obliterate all ambitions
and desires for himself. Everything seemed prophetic of happi-
ness and length of life for himself and his wife; they were active
in all the good works in their community, and were truly more
blessed in giving than receiving.

In August, 1880, a terrible tragedy occured by which General
Grimes became the victim of a cowardly assassin's bullet. In the
dusk of a summer evening when he was at the flood-tide of endeavor
and the joy of life, his dead body was brought home. At that
moment, out of the agony of her grief, there sprung up in the
breast of his young widow the determination to consecrate her life
to his memory, and to the rearing of their family of nine young
children. Other plans were held up to her that gave less of
responsibility and more of ease, but she refused to consider them.
With undaunted courage she took up the threads of their home
life and carried it through as she knew he would have wished.
Under conditions which would have appalled some men and most
women, she undertook the management of her husband's business
affairs, and in so doing she exhibited such a commanding dignity
and brightness of intellect that she attracted the admiration and
respect of everyone. Her warm sympathy and wonderful tact
made sincere friends of all those who served her either in business
or domestic capacities. Her strong mind, fine judgment, strength
of character and quiet dignity gave her a controlling influence
over her children and those with whom she came in contact.

She was very tender and womanly, tenacious in her love for
her family and friends. In her plantation life she was character-
ized by a high feeling of sympathy and responsibility to her de-
pendents that held their love and reverence. She venerated the
high ideals and refined purposes of the old South to which she was

186 Minutes of the Twenty-fifth Annual Convention

born and bred. She could not have been other than loyal to the
"Lost Cause"; and she was anxious that the history of the Con-
federacy be kept true to its standards; and that the purity of the
things for which their fathers fought be impressed upon the coming
generations. She gave generously of her means and sympathies
to the organizations of the Daughters of the Confederacy and
the Veterans. She was President of the Ladies' Memorial Asso-
ciation of Beaufort County, President of the Pamlico Chapter,
Daughters of the Confederacy, and Honorary President of the
State Division of the U. D. C.

Mrs. Grimes was a devout member of the Episcopal Church and
during her long residence at Grimesland was active in all good
work at Trinity Chapel. She was one of those characters who
enter into life good and beautiful and retain their beauty and
keep their souls in tune with the Infinite to the end.

The following lines found in her prayer book express her abiding
faith and deep devotion:

"Some day the silver cord will break
And I no more shall sing:
But, 0, the joy when I shall wake
Within the palace of the King.

"Some day my earthly house will fall,
I cannot tell how soon 'twill be ;
But this I know — my ALL IN ALL
Has now a place in heaven for me.

"Some day, when fades the golden sun
Beneath the rosy tinted West,
My blessed Lord shall say, 'Well done,'
And I shall enter into rest.

"Some day, till then I'll watch and wait,
My lamp all trimmed and burning bright,
That when my Saviour opens the gate
My soul to Him may take its flight."

The funeral services were held at Christ Church, Raleigh, De-
cember 12th. In this church Mrs. Grimes was christened, con-
firmed and married. The interment was at the old family cemetery
at Grimesland there where she rests beside her loved ones until,

"On the resurrection morning
Soul and body meet again;

United Daughters of the Confederacy 187

No more sorrow, no more weeping,
No more pain.

"Soul and body reunited,
Thenceforth nothing shall divide,
Waking up in Christ's own likeness,

MEMORIAL TO MRS. EVA HENDREN MARTIN

Truly the years demand their toll ; and often when the sun-
shine of life seems at its rosiest glow — behold the shadows fall.

So the shadow of death crept into the portals of the James B.
Gordon Chapter, Daughters of the Confederacy, of Winston-Salem,
and ushered into the sunshine of the life eternal, the spirit of
Mrs. Eva Hendren Martin. Mrs. Martin was the eldest daughter
of Dr. and Mrs. L. L. Hendren; she was born in Cary, N. C. ;
graduated at Gi'eensboro College for women, and married Mr.
Frank Martin of Winston-Salem, where she had since resided.

Four children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Martin: Frank, Jr.,
Irene, Eva and Linville, and there preceded her to that 'Ain Coun-
tree", her husband, and her eldest daughter.

A wonderfully comprehensive and sympathetic mind enabled her
to enter into the life of her family and friends, as it is given to
few people to do.

As a mother she was superb — giving of herself to the limit —
the lode-star of a happy home; and as a friend, she was akin to
the Divine, for in her loyalty and self-effacement she indeed seemed
to count it not too great a sacrifice, to lay down her life, for her
friend. Wise, with a wisdom of heart, as well as of brain, fine
in her decisions, and accurate in her judgments, she was honored
with positions of trust and responsibility, both in her church and
in the various civic organizations to which he belonged. No
more loyal Daughter of the Confederacy ever lived — no more
devoted wife and mother — no finer Chritian character, and no more
faithful friend — truly it may be said of her, that in all the obliga-
tions of life she was faithful — even unto the end.

We are thinking very tenderly of her today, for it does not seem

188 Minutes of the Twenty-fifth Annual Convention

possible that she has gone — we only feel that she has just passed
into God's other room; into that beautiful country, where free
from all strife and care, tired of earth's shadows, and weary of
life's suffering, she gladly rests — where existence is eternal.

The sweet memories of her that linger, are as the fragrance
from a bed of pure white lilies — when night's shadows fall — that
subtle, elusive fragrance, that permeates — and whispers of the
tender love of yesterday, which was hers to give — and then of the
many mansions where today, she rests, safe in her immortality.

The benediction of her beloved presence we shall ever miss, but
today, as we are gathered to honor her memory, somehow —

"I cannot feel that she is far —
Since near at hand the angels are,
And when the sunset gates unbar,
We then shall see her waiting stand,
And white against the evening star —
The welcome beckoning of her hand."

For we are somehow feeling today, that there is no death; what
seems so is transition — that

"Ever near us, tho unseen —
The dear immortal spirits tread,
For all the boundless universe,
Is life — There are no dead."

And therefore there need be no sad farewells — the darkness of
the shadows of today shall be the roseate glow of tomorrow's noon-
day glare.

Then let us tenderly say this day:

"Only good-night beloved — not farewell
Until we meet around His throne —
Good-night — Good-night,
Dear Friend."

Mary Kerr Spencer.

MEMORIAL TO GEN. JAMES I. METTS
The death of Major-General James I. Metts, the Commander-in-
Chief of the North Carolina Veterans, has given grief to us, the
Daughters of the Confederacy, and brought mourning to the State.
From boyhood till death, he devoted himself to the service of

United Daughters of the Confederacy 189

the Confederate Veterans. In perfect health, with a physique that
betokened many more years of usefulness, this hero of the Civil
War met with an accident at Wilmington, and expired on the
18th instant.

He had hardly reached his nineteenth birthday, when in response
to the call of North Carolina, he enlisted as a private in the Rifle
Guards, a company formed by his associates at his home in Wil-
mington, and with it on April 15th, 1861, he went to occupy Fort
Caswell.

At one time this Wilmington company had on its rolls more
than a hundred men, ranging from sixteen to twenty-two years
of age, and only one married man among them. This devoted band
is known as Co. I, 18th Regiment, North Carolina Troops.

The fine carriage of Private Metts led to his being given charge
of the Regimental Colors, which he carried, until on the reorganiza-
tion, a year later, he enlisted in the 3rd Regiment, under Col.
Gaston Meares. His bravery and fine capacity won for him par-
ticular distinction in the Seven Days Battle before Richmond.

In every battle it was the same. In the assault at Culp's Hill,
on the evening of the second day at Gettysburg, he led his men
close up to the Federal breastworks, and there received a wound
in his left lung. His sufferings were intense and his condition was
so hopeless that his recovery was perhaps a miraculous interven-
tion of Providence, preserving his life for future usefulness.

After a year of cruel suffering at Johnson's Island, he was
selected as one of the most enfeebled of the prisoners for exchange,
and on rejoining his command served in Cox's Brigade, Grimes'
Division, and on the Staff of General Grimes, always gaining
honors, until at length, he bowed his head in sorrow at Appo-
mattox.

Returning home, he was an exemplar in peace as he had been
in war. The hero on the battlefield now became the patriot in
civil life. Throughout the years he set an example of patient
industry; of cheerful performance of the duties of citizenship,
and of benevolence, that was not without its effect in his com-
munity. In a spirit of fine manhood, he met and overcame adver-
sity, and won success in life, enjoying the esteem, admiration and
affection of all his associates.

While we embalm his memory as a hero and patriot, ever devoted
to his Confederate associates, and worthy of the high honors ac-
corded him, we shall long remember his uniform courtesy and
cheerfulness, his bright eyes, his attractive manner, and his en-
gaging personality. In his demise the State has lost one of the
brightest ornaments of her citizenship.

S. A. Ashe.

RESOLUTIONS TO GENERAL METTS

It is with deep sorrow that the North Carolina Division, U. D.
C, records the death of General James I. Metts, which occurred
October 18.

His record as a soldier of the Confederacy especially endeared
him to the hearts of the Daughters of the Confederacy, and we,
the Daughters, feel that we have lost a loyal friend. His devotion
to the cause of the Confederacy and the U. D. C. was most earnest.

His warm hearted character and his modesty showed itself in
his loyalty to everything the Division undertook.

The Division mourns his death and will ever reverence and honor
the memory of this brave soldier, who was the beloved Commander
of the Confederate Veterans of North Carolina.

"It is not death to die —

What we call death is transition;

Life at the end of our mission;

The silent passing of the breath,

The quiet closing of the eyes;

A fleeting passing moment wrung —

And then, to awake in paradise with God —

This is not death, but life begun."

^T^A gallant stars a-glimmer

On a field of royal blue

As a guide and an inspiration,

Southern women, loyal and true,

Formed a circle wide as the heavens —

Made a vow as firm as the stars,

To build a shrine forever

Round their hallowed Stars and Bars.

From the heights of our lofty mountains
With their proud heads lifted to God,
To the shores of the moaning ocean
Where dreams and visions have trod,
They joined heart and hand together,
They lifted their tributes in stone,
And the brave gray line of their heroes
Has never marched alone.

Then here's to the loyal women,

Of the State we love the best,

Who have kept alive through trying years

A page that will stand the test

Of all of history's searchlights,

Of all that the years set free —

The women who sealed the heart of the South

In the shrine of the U. D. C.

14 Minutes of the Twenty-sixth Annual Convention

Mrs. Wilson, the President, then expressed herself as "very
happy indeed to have the pleasure of presenting to the Divi-
sion, Mrs. T. E. Sprunt, daughter of the beloved founder
and first President of the North Carolina Division, Mrs.
W. M. Parsley." Mrs. Sprunt acknowledged with heart-
felt appreciation the enthusiastic welcome accorded to her
by the Convention.

Mrs. Peter A. Gorrell, Second Vice-President, was called
to the chair and presided while the President, Mrs. Thos. W.
Wilson, read her report.

Daughters of the North Carolina Division:

At Winston-Salem you again placed in my keeping the leadership
of this Division, and now another year has passed; October, the
harvest month of our U. D. C. year, is upon us and again we are
assembled in Convention, bearing the sheaves which we have
gleaned from the fields of opportunity — precious sheaves, records
of your deeds from which let us hope may be gathered inspiration
to press on to other harvest seasons.

Since the Daughters of the historic Cape Fear Chapter opened
their homekeeping hearts to the Division and said, "Come, celebrate
this silver anniversary with us," I have felt that this was done in
the spirit of the beloved and honored Division Mother, whose
Daughters of the Cape Fear have ever been loyal to their priceless
heritage. And my prayer has been that, as we come together, the
records of our deeds for this year and for this administration
of 1920-1922 may be sifted of all that might be dross, that they
may be as silvery sheaves upon this home-altar, the impress of
which will for all time bear testimony to the worthiness and high
ideals of the Daughters of North Carolina.

During the year we have been bereft of one of our honorary
presidents, Mrs. William Dorsey Pender, whose death occurred on
the anniversary of that of her distinguished husband, General
Pender. The remains of both lie in the old Calvary Church-yard
at Tarboro. Expressions of sympathy have been tendered to be-
reaved members as follows: Mrs. L. F. Long, our Division Treas-
urer, upon the death of her son and only child; General Julian S.
Carr, Commander-in-Chief of the United Confederate Veterans, upon
the death of his son, Julian Carr, Jr.; General Carr also was
remembered during his long and serious illness; Mrs. Henry L.
Riggins, hostess last year to this division in Convention assembled

United Daughters of the Confederacy 15

at Winston-Salem, bereft of her husband, Capt. Henry L. Riggins,
who was an honorary member of this organization and for whom
one of the scholarships maintained by this Division has been named.

The standard of this Division assures your President of many
courtesies wherever she may go, and it was a privilege to represent
you in General Convention at St. Louis last November, immediately
following the State Convention at Winston-Salem. The inspiration
gathered there has served as an impetus to renewed efforts for the
work of this Division. At that time it was my pleasure to serve
on two general committees, viz.: as a member of the Credentials
Committee and as Chairman of the Committee on Resolutions of
Thanks.

Through a letter sent to chapters I gave you a detailed report of
that Convention, but allow me to call attention to the high standard
which as a Division we are to live up to. The beautiful Loving
Cup before you was won for the greatest number of new members
between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five years. This is the
second time this cup has been awarded to North Carolina. Your
Historian would not have you forget that the beautiful medal for
the best essay on the Confederate Navy was awarded to North
Carolina, as was also the Peace Prize, and the beautifully bound
book awarded to the Director of "Women of the South in War
Times." Also the three best prizes for the children's work, viz.:
the Ricks Banner and the Bettie Marriott Whitehead and the
Tempe Battle Marriott prizes. This year the list of prizes, both
State and general, exceed in number and attractiveness any
previous list, and I trust they have proved an incentive to even
greater activity.

It was my pleasure to outline this year's work in calendar form
and to present this to you with the hope of encouraging you to
take up the work in a systematic way, endeavoring to complete
some special object each month. The many demands upon the
woman of today make system necessary to any work, and I have
been gratified over expressions from various Chapters and Directors
as to the helpfulness of this plan.

I wish that I might say to you all that is in my heart to say
of the splendid cooperation of my Executive Board. They have
joined me in a continuation of the policy of last year, and together
we have endeavored to heed the admonitions of the seer of old
who said: "Enlarge the place of thy tent and let them stretch
forth the curtains of thine habitations; spare not, lengthen thy
cords and strengthen thy stakes." To this end I have upheld to
you the policy of our President General, viz.: to organize Chapters
composed of members from eighteen to twenty-five years of age.

16 Minutes of the Twenty-sixth Annual Convention

One such Chapter is in formation but not yet quite completed, the
Laura Little Chapter of Wadesboro.

The following Chapters have been organized and chartered: In
the Seventh District, the Pee Dee Guards Chapter of Rockingham;
Eleventh District, the Gus Floyd Chapter of Fairmont; Sixteenth
District, the Albritton Sugg Chapter of Hookerton. Up to the
present date I have signed this year 749 certificates for new mem-
bers. This record, added to that of last year, gives a total of 9
new Chapters, 4 reinstated Chapters, and 1,613 new members added
to the Division under this administration. I also signed, for the
Children of the Confederacy, 727 certificates for new members this
year, and 11 new Chapters have been organized and fully registered.

It is not my purpose to include an account of the work accom-
plished by the Officers, Directors and Chairmen, but among the
various reports to be heard, I invite your special attention to that
of your Registrar, your Director of children's work, and your
Second Vice-President. Your Registrar has a wonderful report;
one that will forever place this Division high on the records of
State and General Registration, therefore making a more perfect
organization. I have requested that in giving her report for this
year your Registrar also will give totals for the two years of
splendid service which she has given you. Keeping within the
requirements of the general organization, your Director of children's
work has perfected a system of bookkeeping which has placed the
work on a firm foundation on which to build for years to come.
The work of your Second Vice-President is heartily commended to
you as a step forward in raising the standard of the educational
work.

Early in May an Executive Board meeting was held in Greens-
boro, at which time the work was discussed and plans formulated
which will be presented to you by your Secretary in the form of
recommendations. I beg your careful consideration of all recom-
mendations presented to you by the Executive Board, for they are
the result of experience and thought offered in the interest of the
advancement of the Division work.

Some of the most pleasant memories of my administration are
connected with the District Meetings. They are inspirational and
feed the life of the Division, just as the Division life feeds that of
the General Organization. I can never praise too much the work
of the District Directors; their close touch and splendid co-
operation with the chapters and Division enable them to advance
every cause. This year I attended several of these meetings, and
regretted exceedingly that I could not attend every one held.

United Daughters of the Confederacy 17

I was delighted to visit both the Confederate Homes again this
year. At the Soldiers' Home the transformation wrought by the
improvements was both striking and pleasing. The Veterans were
warm in their praise of the care and attention they were receiving,
and especially praised our U. D. C. Chairman. At the Woman's
Home I had the pleasure of being a guest at luncheon in company
with some other Daughters. We had a delightful time with the
dear old ladies, who seem to enjoy their home and think of it
as a real home. They were greatly interested in the prospect of
furnishings for the two spacious sun parlors, which had just been
completed. You will have full reports from these homes through
the respective Chairmen.

The Chairman of our Text-Book Committee has worked along
double lines this year, having the hearty cooperation of her own
committee and that of the Rutherford History Committee, of
which she is a member, and I commend to you her report and
plan of work. In May I went to Raleigh, and in company with
your Historian and several members of the Text-Book Committee,
appeared before the State Board of Education and was gratified
to hear Doctor Brooks announce the elimination of Muzzy's History
from the State schools. I am sure Doctor Brooks has the sincere
appreciation of every Daughter in the State for his cooperation,
his interest, and his successful effort. At that meeting this
Division went on record as declaring unabated and everlasting
interest in the histories that are to be taught to the children of this
State, and an appeal was made to the Board that only United States
histories that are true and fair to all sections be selected. Daugh-
ters, this is one of the most important phases of our work; it is
a work that requires watchfulness and patience — a work that will
continue until American historians shall give justice to Southern
history.

In the early spring I received a communication from General
Smith, Commander of the N. C. Division, U. C. V., in which he
sought the help of the Daughters of the State in the reorganization
of Camps and in helping the Veterans on to Richmond — expenses
paid, and where possible, the gray uniform supplied. I presented
this to you by letter and discussed it at District and Chapter meet-
ings; and, of course, you responded nobly, for whenever did
Daughters of North Carolina fail our beloved Veterans of the 60's?
Many were the Veterans who went to Richmond happier and
more comfortable because of your care of them, your efforts in
their behalf. Also, several Camps were reinstated, and General
Smith has expressed himself as very much gratified over your
ready response.

18 Minutes of the Twenty-sixth Annual Convention

A few weeks ago some confusion was caused by the action of
the Mary Custis Lee Chapter, U. D. C, of Lexington, Va., in pro-
testing the work for the enlarging and fireproofing the Lee
Memorial Chapel. In an effort to correct this I sent out a Chapter
letter calling attention to the fact that our work for this Memorial
is official U. D. C. work and not to be interfered with by unofficial
protests. I trust that your Director has a report to make that
will prove North Carolina Daughters appreciate the privilege of
having a part in this wonderful, this worthy Memorial. I trust
that during this Convention our obligations to some of our general
work for monument funds may be fully met and others greatly
advanced. You will hear, through the Directors for these monu-
ments, detailed reports.

In State Monument work we have endeavored to stress the
Gettysburg and the Stars and Bars Memorial funds, and it is the
hope of the Director and Chairman for these funds that you will
at this Convention take action that will place these monuments
on a basis that will assure the erection of both at no distant day.

The amount pledged to the General fund for Confederate
Woman's relief, which was $100, has been paid. The President
General tells us that unless the Divisions sell more copies of "The
Women of the South in War Times," the prizes offered by the
publisher can not be awarded. In this I trust that you will re-
spond to the plea of your State Director, who also is the Chairman
General for this book.

It is to be regretted that your Treasurer can not be present at
this Convention, but you will hear her report and will realize
what faithful and efficient three years' service she has rendered.

I am glad that among the worthy objects of our organization we
find the word "social" — to cherish the ties of friendship among
our members and to interpret it in another sense, that of extend-
ing friendship to other organizations. Last November it was my
pleasure to again extend greetings for you to the State Convention,
Daughters of the American Revolution, this time assembled in
Convention in my home town, where I had the pleasure as your
President of being an honor guest of my own Chapter, D. A. R.
On Lee-Jackson Day it was my privilege to address the Veterans
of my own county. On May 10 I attended the Memorial exercises
at home and assisted the Veterans of the county in the reorganiza-
tion of their Camp. At the State Federation of Women's Clubs
I represented you for one evening.

During the year I have had many invitations from both Districts
and chapters. While it was impossible to accept all, I did accept
as many as I could, and placed the work and its needs before

United Daughters of the Confederacy 19

the Daughters to the best of my ability. And at such times I have
been the recipient of honors expressed in receptions, teas, lunch-
eons, beautiful flowers, and the warm and delightful hospitality
of many homes. In June I attended the General Reunion of the
Confederate Veterans in Richmond, where I was shown every
honor due your President. I served on the staff of the State
Commander, Gen. William A. Smith, and also as Matron of Honor
to the Second Brigade, commanded by General Alston. I felt you
were signally honored in that your President carried the Veterans'
Division flag for General Smith. And also as your President I
was an honor guest at some beautiful dinner parties. While in
Richmond I was glad to attend the laying of the corner-stone of
the Maury Monument, and to visit the Confederate Museum and
the Battle Abbey. For the State Reunion recently held in Ashe-
ville, I was appointed by General Alston as Matron of Honor to the
Second Brigade, a courtesy which I am pleased to acknowledge.
The date of that Reunion came so near this Convention that I
found it impossible to attend except for the banquet given the
Veterans on Tuesday evening at Battery Park, at which time I
represented you in a toast to our Veterans.

During the year appeals have come to me which deserve con-
sideration, but to which we are not obligated as a Division.
Among these I commend to you the World War Veterans at Oteen
and the Near East Relief.

My two years of service as your President will cease with the
closing of the Birmingham Convention, November 18. Since first
your mantle of leadership fell upon me I have worn it as a sacred
trust, consecrated to the high ideals of our organization. Always
I have realized that in maintaining the standard of this Division
there must be no standing still — to stand still is to falter — but
that always we must press on through the years to our ultimate
goal.

And so I have consecrated my time and my thought to the best
interest of the Division as I have seen it. And now I do not mind
telling you that I have dreamed dreams and had my heart set on
their fulfillment. With the Registrar I saw a complete registra-
tion of every old member both in General and in State, filed in
loose-leaf binders. I went further, and visioned such a registration
for every chapter. With the Director of C. of C. I saw a Children's
Chapter for every Mother Chapter and these with complete regis-
tration and certificates. With your Second Vice-President I caught
a glimpse of a better basis for our Educational work, including the
completion of the Hero Fund. With the Text-Book Chairman
I could see a sentiment created in favor of better histories from

20 Minutes of the Twenty-sixth Annual Convention

which to teach our children, and with our Historian there was a
great ingathering of precious memories with which to enrich our
Historic Halls. I visioned better things for our Confederate Homes
and those outside the Homes. And, too, I saw a beautiful Stars
and Bars Memorial keeping watch at Louisburg, and far on the
way a Monument rising higher and higher at Gettysburg.

Because of your cooperation, your loyalty and zeal, some of
these things have come true; others are not quite completed; but,
Daughters, I have faith in you — faith in the love which every-
where binds the hearts of the loyal U. D. C— faith in your
courage to do and dare, and I look with confidence to the fulfillment
of these dreams.

Respectfully submitted,

Mes. Thos. W. Wilson,
President N. C. Div., U. D. C.

Upon conclusion of this splendid report, the Convention
rose and extended to Mrs. Wilson a hearty vote of thanks
for the noble and splendid work she has done for the Divi-
sion. Mrs. Wilson then exhibited to the Convention the
Alexander Allen Faris Loving Cup won by the Division for
the greatest number of new members between the ages of
18 and 25 years. This has been won by the N. C. Division
twice out of the three years it has been offered. Mrs. Wilson
urged the Chapters to use their very best endeavor and to
report all new members before the Birmingham Convention,
as determined effort may hold this Loving Cup in North
Carolina another year. Mrs. F. M. Williams also asked that
the Division do all possible to keep this Cup in North
Carolina.

The Recording Secretary's report was called for, which
report was read and accepted.

RECORDING SECRETARY'S REPORT
Madam President and Daughters of the Confederacy:

The report of the Recording Secretary must include work done
by my predecessor, Mrs. John H. Anderson. She arranged and had
printed and distributed the Minutes of the Winston-Salem Con-
vention, as provided for in the Constitution. A list of Chapter
officers of the Division was sent to the Secretary General for the

United Daughters of the Confederacy 21

General Minutes. Three new Chapters have been chartered and
eleven Children's Chapters registered. I have attended and kept
the Minutes of two Executive Board meetings.
Respectfully submitted,

Mary Henderson,
Bee. Sec. N. C. Div., U. D. C.

The Corresponding Secretary read her report, which was
accepted with thanks.

CORRESPONDING SECRETARY'S REPORT
Madam President and Daughters of the Confederacy:

In coming to you again with a report I want first to express
my sincere appreciation of the cooperation and hearty response
I have had from the Chapters throughout the State during the
past year, and want to express my sincere thanks to one and all.
It has been a great pleasure to aid in a small way in so great a
work as that of the Daughters of the Confederacy, and may we
ever carry forward this grand and noble work.

Since October, 1921, I have written 564 letters; 174 post cards
and 7 telegrams.

Respectfully submitted,

Mrs. D. M. Jones,
Cor. Sec. N. C. Div., U. D. C.

Mrs. Bell, the Registrar, read her report. Mrs. F. M.
Williams, Registrar General, stated that North Carolina has
done well in her registration and commended Mrs. Bell's
excellent work, but also urged that the work be pushed for-
ward until we attain the 100 per cent registration.

REGISTRAR'S REPORT

Madam President and Daughters of the Confederacy:

I bring to you this year, not the report that I had hoped so
earnestly to bring, but, after all, one that reflects credit upon the
Division. While we have not registered as many new members
nor organized as many new chapters this year as last, still, we
have just cause to be proud of our work in the registration of both
new and old members. There have been in all 776 registries.
Six hundred and eighty-three were new members added by appli-
cation, 8 came by demit from other States, 43 were transfers from
one Chapter to another, and 42 were old members registered on
Chapter Roll but not in the State. Thirty-three certificates of

22 Minutes of the Twenty-sixth Annual Convention

membership have been secured for old members that never had
received one. Three new Chapters have been organized. The
Pee Dee Guards of Rockingham, the Gus Floyd of Fairmont, and
the Albritton Sugg of Hookerton.

But the work which has held first place in the heart of your
Division Registrar has been the re-registration of old members.
If you recall my report of last year, I expressed the belief that
before this Convention every active Chapter in the Division would
be re-registered. I have worked long and late to bring to a ful-
fillment that prophecy. If you note carefully this report you will
see that I have not entirely failed. I bring to you today 64 Chap-
ters perfectly re-registered in the triple applications ready for the
loose-leaf binders, making a total of 5,654 re-registered members.
Twelve Chapters have not sent in all members re-registered —
only the active living members. Eight have sent in some records,
but not all. Thirteen Chapters have never responded to any call
nor sent any report of their work in the two years that I have
been Registrar, so they can not be considered active — at least
very much so. You will see that leaves about 20 active Chapters
that have not re-registered. Some of these have caught the vision
and are even now working on their records, and I feel sure that
at the next Convention your new Registrar will present to you the
realization of my dream — a perfectly re-registered Division. The
Stonewall Jackson Chapter, Charlotte, wins the prize for the
greatest number of new members, having gained 63; while Green
County Chapter, Snow Hill, with 100 per cent increase, claims the
prize for greatest percentage of increase.

It is impossible to give an accurate statement of the number of
members, as some Chapters failed to report. Below is a statement,
as nearly correct as it is possible to secure, showing a total mem-
bership of 6,625:

And now, as the time draws near to place into another's keeping
this sacred charge, I wish to thank you one and all for the con-
fidence bestowed upon me, and to assure you that it has been a
pleasure to serve you in my small way. The many kind words and
expressions of loyalty from you, dear Daughters, always will linger
with me and make life sweeter for having known and served you
and the Confederacy of our own Southland.

The Registrar's report was accepted with a rising vote

Respectfully submitted,

Division Treasurer.

This report wasy accepted with a rising vote of thanks, and
Mrs. F. M. Williams spoke feelingly of Mrs. Long's unceas-
ing work for the Division, accomplished under the burden
of sorrow and illness. On motion of Mrs. T. E. Fisher, the
Corresponding Secretary was instructed to write to Mrs.
Long a letter expressing the Division's regret at her absence
and assuring her of its warm love and sympathy.

In this connection Mrs. J. A. Yarborough moved that a
wreath from the North Carolina Division be placed upon
the grave of Cyril Long, son of Mrs. L. F. Long, immediately
3

34 Minutes of the Twenty-sixth Annual Convention

after Memorial Hour, as he is buried in Wilmington. This
motion was carried by a rising vote.

Mrs. F. M. Williams moved that, in view of the fact that
the Treasurer was not present in Convention, the President
be empowered to instruct her to send to the new Treasurer,
immediately upon her election, moneys for taxes and other
purposes. The motion was carried.

The report of the Auditing Committee was read and
accepted.

AUDITING COMMITTEE'S REPORT

We, your Committee on Auditing the Treasurer's Books of the
North Carolina Division United Daughters of the Confederacy, beg
to submit the following:

We examined the records of the receipts and disbursements for
the year ending September 15, and found them correct.

We reconciled the bank's and the Treasurer's balances and found
them to agree.

We verified all cash transactions, tracing the receipts into the
bank and verifying all disbursements with cancelled vouchers.

We also attach an affidavit made by Charles D. Long, an auditor.
Respectfully submitted,

Miss Bonnie E. Mauney,
Miss Lowry Shuford,
Mrs. W. A. Ridenhour,
Committee.

Newton, N. C, Oct. 2, 1922.
To Whom It May Concern:

I have checked the total receipts and disbursements of the
North Carolina Division, U. D. C, as shown by the Treasurer's
records, and find the total balance to agree with the bank balance,
September 20, 1922.

Yours very truly,

Charles D. Long.

Mrs. Petei A. Gorrell, Second Vice-President and Chair-
man of the Educational Committee, read her report, which
was a very interesting one, and is as follows :

United Daughters of the Confederacy 35

EDUCATIONAL COMMITTEE'S REPORT
Madam President and Daughters N. C. Division:

Another year has passed and the Educational work of the N. C.
Division of U. D. C. has taken another step forward. The work
stressed last year was putting the Educational work on a business
basis. We trust the efforts of the two years have not been in
vain, and that we have laid our business foundation firm and
strong and that as the years go by this foundation holds fast.
Ail records for two years' work have been recorded, applica-
tions for scholarships filed, and everything pertaining to Educa-
tional work recorded and bound in a leather binder with ample
room for the work for the next several terms to be entered.
This will aid the incoming Educational Commander to go forward
with the work and not lose time hunting up past records, etc.

The good news that the Hero Fund has been met and more than
the amount paid will bring joy to your hearts. Educational work
certainly has made headway in connection with public schools.
Several Chapters report good work along this line, members of
Chapters going to schools making talks on Southern Heroes.
One member of the Educational Committee has visited N. C. C. W.
at Greensboro twice and had most interesting talks with the girls
holding State scholarships.

At the Executive Meeting held at Greensboro in the Spring it
was decided to have holders of scholarships write a memoir of
the person whose scholarship they are using and turn it in to
the Educational Committee. It also was decided to have the
essays on Jefferson Davis sent to the Chairman of Education, and
have the Educational Committee award the scholarship — value,
$200.00.

Another creditable advance is the placing of N. C. Confederate
flags in many of the schools. Another Chapter reports attend-
ance at business meetings has increased 50 per cent this year, due
largely to the interest in Educational programs. We have the
honor, as a Division, of having placed a copy of "The Women of
the South in War Times" in every college in the State. In other
words, have placed 46 copies in colleges, for several have been
sent from the Division to some of the northern colleges.

A gratifying report comes from Brevard-Transylvania Chapter,
and we give it, hoping it will prove a stimulus to inactive Chap-
ters. Three scholarships, value $81.00; number of books given
to library, 275 (value, $200.00); librarian's salary, $220.00; im-
provements on library and interest, $52.50.

36 Minutes of the Twenty-sixth Annual Convention

Following is detail data of the Educational work:

Chapter Scholarships, value, $156.00.

Prizes 9, value, $5.00; $5.00; $21.00; $10.00; $8.00; $2.50; $12.50;
$12.50; $25.00. Total $101.50.

Subscriptions to the Veterans, 39.

May we compare the N. C. Division of U. D. C. to a beautiful
sea in whose waters are reflected the glory of those beloved sol-
diers who fought, bled, and died for the cause they loved, and
may we compare the Educational work as a great boat resting on
these waters with 111 Chapters holding the oars which will row
the boat to success and honor? May we beg those 111 Chapters in
the coming year to bend with redoubled energy and enthusiasm and
to push and strive with all their strength? — and then we know
1922-1923 will be a glorious year indeed.

Respectfully submitted,

Mrs. Peter A. Gorrell, Chairman,
Mrs. L. W. Wilson,
Mrs. O. Max Gardner.

United Daughters of the Confederacy 37

In the absence of Mrs. J. T. Hollister, Third Vice-
President and Publicity Chairman, her report was read by
the Recording Secretary, and it was moved and carried that
this report be accepted.

THIRD VICE-PRESIDENT'S REPORT
Madam President and Daughters of the Confederacy :

As Third Vice-President, and Publicity Chairman, I have done
very little. As such I tried to follow instructions as to establish-
ing a bi-monthly U. D. C. column by sending typewritten articles
to the three leading State papers, the Raleigh News and Observer,
the Charlotte Observer, and the Greensboro Neivs, but owing to
prolonged illness in the family I did not send them regularly,
nor was I successful in getting them published when sent. I also
tried to interest District Leaders in sending me important move-
ments and activities in their Chapters. I would like not only
to recommend but to urge that each Chapter elect or appoint a
Publicity Chairman and have her send matter to State Chairmen,
thereby avoiding repetition, as the papers cannot publish it twice.

I have sent several typewritten letters to The Veteran, District
Directors, the Soldiers' Home, and the Confederate Women's Home
for their Christmas news and cheer; stressed the Matthew Fon-
taine Maury Memorial in January, and was much gratified with
a splendid "Maury" meeting and collection, locally. Also, Jeffer^
son Davis Monument fund, Gettysburg, in April, and the Lee
Memorial.

The prize of $5.00 in gold offered to the District making the
greatest gain in new subscribers to The Veteran during the year
ending October, 1922, was continued.

I trust some little good has been done, and to those who helped
me by sending activities and information I wish to express my
thanks and appreciation.

Respectfully submitted,

Mrs. Jack Hollister,
Third Viee^Bresident.

Mrs. Fisher of Asheville moved that the Third Vice-
President, in her capacity as Publicity Chairman, send
monthly or semi-monthly stories, at her discretion, giving
TJ. D. C. news, to the Asheville Citizen, the Charlotte Ob-
server, Greensboro Daily Neivs, Winston-Salem Journal,
Raleigh News and Observer, and Wilmington Star. This
motion was carried.

United Daughters of the Confederacy 39

Mrs. John L. Bridgers, Historian, presented her report,
which was accepted with thanks.

Madam President and Daughters:

Our year's work in the Historical Department has been quite
satisfactory. From historic Cape Fear and Newbern to the moun-
tain fastnesses of old Haywood, from Gastonia on our sister Caro-
lina's border to the Roanoke Minute Men at Virginia's line; from
Jeb. Stuart and Bethel Heroes, Johnson Pettigrew and "Stonewall"
Jackson, have come such splendid reports that I feel justified in
recounting them by name.

The Division, as a whole, has responded nobly, and there is
a wholesome tone to this feature of our work which is encouraging

The outstanding effort of the year is the work of the Historian
of the Cape Fear Chapter, two splendid pageants, by our talented
Mrs. Burkheimer. These will bring renown to our Division.

A most important work has been the elimination of Muzzy's
History from our schools, which, in connection with the Text-Book
Committee, we have been able to accomplish.

We have received quite a number of historic papers, contest-
ing for the valuable prizes, of which your Historian is justly
proud. I only wish I could present to each Daughter who sent in
these well-written sketches the prize she so richly deserves. We
sent on to our Historian General five fine papers to contest for
the general prizes. You will remember that out- Division won
seven of the prizes offered by the Historian General last year,
one of which was the Hundred Dollar Peace Prize, given by Mr.
John Brown of Nashville, Tenn., in memory of his mother. This
prize was won by our neighboring Chapter of Burgaw.

The unsolicited honor which yon conferred upon me two years
ago has been a joy. I consider it the highest honor you could
confer upon me, and I frankly say that I retire with regret. I
shall miss the pleasant intercourse with the noble women of
our Division. Meeting them on "paper" has been most enjoyable.
In making this my valedictory, I thank you.

Trusting that this will meet with the approval of your honorable
body, I am,

Most sincerely,

Mbs. John L. Bbidgees,
State Historian.

In speaking to her report, Mrs. Bridgers deplored the
frequent use of "Civil War" for "War Between the States,"

40 Minutes of the Twenty sixth Annual Convention

and deprecated the term "Lost Cause." Mrs. Marshall
Williams presented a motion asking that the newspapers
be requested to help through their columns to correct this
mistake, which motion was carried.

Mrs. H. M. London, Recorder of Crosses, gave her report,
which was accepted.

spent her life in keeping history straight," and introduced
Miss Katie McKimmon of Raleigh, who was received with
applause.

The President then called for the reports of the Execu-
tive Board meetings. The report of the Spring meeting
held in Greensboro was read, and on motion the recommen-
dations were voted on ad seriatim, and the report was
accepted as read.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE'S REPORT

The Executive Board of the North Carolina Division, United
Daughters of the Confederacy, met in Greensboro at the O. Henry
Hotel, May 2, 1922. The Board was delightfully entertained at
luncheon by our gracious President, Mrs. Thomas W. Wilson, and
met in executive session immediately thereafter, Mrs Wilson
presiding.

Mrs. Wilson opened the meeting with a brief resume of the
affairs of the Division from October to May. As no invitation for
Convention had been received, in accordance with action of the
1921 Convention it was moved and carried that the President
be empowered to accept with thanks an invitation under the
self-entertaining plan for the Convention of 1922, received from
the Cape Fear Chapter of Wilmington.

Mrs. E. W. Burkheimer's Confederate Pageant was heartily en-
dorsed.

Mrs. Gorrell was appointed to select a suitable present to be
sent to Miss Alice Baxter, First Vice-President General, as a tnken
of appreciation from the North Carolina Division, of her deligVtt-
ful address made at the Winston-Salem Convention, and for her
generosity in making the long trip at her own expense.

Resolutions urging the importance of correct and truthful his-
tories and the elimination of unfair and misleading histories
were introduced and endorsed, and Mrs. T. W. Wilson was requested
to present them in person to the State Text-Book Committee on
May 3. A full discussion of the problems of the educational Chair-
man followed. The following recommendations were presented and
adopted:

"I. That, hereafter, the six scholarships at the North Carolina
College for Women be fixed at approximately $130.00 annually, as
$75.00 per annum no longer covers half expenses of a student at
this college.

"II. That holders of scholarships at the North Carolina State
College for Women shall write and submit to the Educational Com-
mittee an essay on the person for whom the scholarship is named;
rules for essay to be formulated by Committee on Education.

"III. That Jefferson Davis Scholarship shall be in charge of the
Educational Committee, and the holder of this scholarship shall
submit grades at end of each College semester to Chairman of the
Educational Committee.

"IV. That Jefferson Davis Scholarship shall carry $200.00 an-
nually.

42 Minutes of the Twenty-sixth Annual Convention

"V. That each Chapter be requested to contribute at least 25
cents per capita to the Educational Fund each year.

"VI. That the action of the Twenty-fifth Annual Convention,
that the Division 'go back to the old way of entertaining'
(page 88, Twenty-fifth Annual Minutes), be rescinded.

"VII. That hereafter the Division Convention shall be on the
independent or self-entertaining plan."

Respectfully submitted,

Mary Henderson,
Recording Secretary.

The adoption of Recommendation No. 7 brought up for
discussion the best policy to be adopted in the future should
the Division receive no invitation for Convention. In view
of Winston-Salem's gracious and cordial invitation that the
Division adopt the Robert E. Lee Hotel as permanent
headquarters, Mrs. F. M. Williams made a motion that the
Robert E. Lee Hotel be accepted as the Western Home and
a town in the eastern part of the State be selected for an
Eastern Home, meetings to be held in such of these towns
as the President shall select when the Division receives no
invitation for Convention. This motion was seconded and
much discussion followed. Mrs. Josephus Daniels offered
an amendment to the motion of Mrs. Williams providing
that a committee be appointed to receive suggestions regard-
ing the permanent headquarters, this committee to report
to Convention. Mrs. Williams accepted Mrs. Daniels'
amendment, and upon vote of the Convention the amended
motion carried.

The report of the Program Committee was presented by
Mrs. Huggins and was accepted with a rising vote of thanks.

The meeting adjourned for recess at 1 :15 p. m., to con-
vene immediately following luncheon.

United Daughters of the Confederacy 43

FIRST DAY — Afternoon Session

The afternoon session was called to order by the Presi-
dent at 2 o'clock, after a luncheon given for the Convention
by the Cape Fear Camp, United Confederate Veterans.

At the request of the President, the Rules and Regula-
tions of the Convention were read by the Recording Sec-
retary.

Mrs. F. M. Williams moved that the Lee Memorial Chapel
at Lexington be made the special order of business Friday
at 10 o'clock A. M. The motion was carried.

The recommendations adopted by the Executive Board at
its meeting October 10 were next taken up.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE'S REPORT NO. II

The Executive Board of the North Carolina Division U. D. C.
met at the home of Mrs. T. E. Sprunt on Tuesday afternoon. October
10. After an unusually delightful luncheon tendered the Board
by Mrs. T. E. Sprunit, Mrs. W. M. Peck and Mrs. T. L. Speiden,
the meeting was opened for business.

The following recommendations were presented and adopted:

"I. That all Chapter Registrars be required, when sending in
reports, to give State numbers of members and that names be
given in the order in which they are registered, instead of alpha-
betically.

"II. That the Division Registrar be empowered to re-register, at
the expense of the Division, Chapters that have ceased to function.

"III. That the Division purchase steel filing-cases for Historian,
Registrar, Director of Children's Chapters, to whose care valuable
records are committed.

"IV. That balance remaining from the Hero Fund be placed to
credit of the State Educational Fund.

"V. That, as Chapter Treasurers take office immediately after
the Division Convention, it is suggested that the Books of Treas-
urers shall close on Sept. 15, thus corresponding with books of State
Treasurer."

Respectfully submitted,

Maby Henderson,
Recording Secretary.

44' Minutes of the Twenty-sixth Annual Convention

Recommendations Nos. 1 and 2 were adopted. Recom-
mendation No. 3 was amended to read "Historian, Regis-
trar, and Director of Children's Chapters" instead of "all
officers." This amendment was accepted. Recommenda-
tion No. 4 was read and accepted. Recommendation No. 5
was read, but was ordered to be incorporated in the report
as a suggestion only.

The Corresponding Secretary read telegrams of greetings
from Mrs. Sidney P. Cooper, Miss Jessica Smith, Mrs.
Jacksie D. Thrash Morrison and Mrs. Henry A. London.

Mrs. T. E. Sprunt moved that a telegram be sent Mrs.
H. A. London, regretting her absence on account of illness
and greeting her as a Mother of this Convention, as she
is, in point of service, one of the oldest and most devoted
members of the North Carolina Division. It was so ordered.

Mrs. R. P. Holt moved that the Division send flowers to
Mrs. T. L. Speiden, President of the Cape Fear Chapter,
who is now in hospital very ill. This was carried by a
rising vote.

Mrs. Charles S. Wallace, Director of Children's Chapters,
read her report, which was very interesting. Upon motion of
Mrs. John Anderson, this report was accepted by a rising
vote of thanks.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF CHILDREN'S WORK

Madam President and Daughters :

This brings us to the close of my first year's service as Director
of the Children of the Confederacy. The rapidity with which time
passes makes it very necessary for us to do quickly what we
undertake. Realizing this in the beginning, I determined to leave
nothing undone, that I could do, that would in any way help the
cause. It gives me great pleasure to report the work in fine con-
dition. We have not accomplished during the year all that we
hoped and planned for, but we have made substantial progress,
and the prospects for further advancement are indeed hopeful.
We, therefore, are greatly encouraged, and shall make every effort
possible during the coming year to develop the work along all
lines.

United Daughters of the Confederacy 45

We have organized, registered and re-registered during my admin-
istration the following Chapters:

"Stonewall" Jackson Burlington

George Davis Wilmington

Confederate Heroes Faison

Sylva Chapter Sylva

John Alexander Fleming Marion

Capt. Swift Galloway Snow Hill

W. T. Everett Rockingham

Col. B. Y. Graves Mount Airy

Annie Johns Leaksville

Bessie Simonton Kings Mountain

Annie Dillard Hall Reidsville

James A. Western Hickory

Eleven members demitted from the Dixie
Grays Hickory

The following Chapters have been organized, but not yet regis-
tered: Raeford, Elizabeth City, Wentworth, Windsor, and War-
renton. I have sent out this year 4,069 application blanks.

We have registered during the year 727 new members and
issued 75 duplicate certificates. The total State enrollment now is
2,374, all of which are properly registered. Five hundred and forty-
five still hold the old State certificates, while 1,829 have certificates
issued by the General Division.

There have been placed in schools and libraries 15 pictures of
Robert E. Lee, 100 copies of "Wrongs of History Righted," 500
copies of "Lincoln as the South Should Know Him," and 114 copies
of "Truths of History," "Women of the South in War Times," and
The Confederate Yeteran. Twenty-eight Chapter prizes were
offered and competed for, and may historical papers were collected.

At the State Convention in Winston-Salem it was ordered that
water connections with the city water system of Fayetteville be
made with the Women's Home and that the expense of same be
made the special object for the children to work for during the
year. Early in December I presented this matter to all the
Chapters; later in the year I again called their attention to it,
and urged that this expense be met, even suggesting to them the
minimum amount per capita necessary to meet it. Acting upon
the assurance that the necessary amount would be raised, the Trus-
tees of the Home, proceeded to have the connections made. The
cost of the work complete is $650.00, and up to this time only
$267.00 has been paid into the Treasury. Many of the Chapters
have made no response to the call. Certainly some action should

46 Minutes of the Twenty-sixth Annual Convention

be taken by this Convention to meet the balance of this obligation
and relieve us from an embarrassing situation.

The total receipts in actual cash have been $2,585.31. In addition
to this amount there have been contributions to the Homes, the
Veterans, and the sick and dependents, of clothing, confectionery,
etc., amounting to several hundred dollars in value.

I wish to urge upon every Chapter of the U. D. C. that has
not already a Chapter of Children of the Confederacy, the im-
portance of this work and to earnestly request that they plan at
once, and as soon as possible organize a Children's Chapter, and
to please see that every member is provided with certificates from
the General Division, to the end that the young people who will
soon take our places may "keep the fires burning" in the cause
we hold so dear.

I have had made, and with the approval of our President at
the expense of the Division, permanent roll-books for both State
and Chapter rolls, which will be valuable to the work during the
years to come. Every member is now enrolled, and all applications
are properly indexed and/ filed by Chapters, as required by the Con-
stitution.

We could not have made the record we have without the splendid
cooperation of the U. D. C. workers. I believe there are still
greater things in store for us, if we continue this spirit; we are
all interested, therefore we can assuredly expect a continuance,
and during the year let each of us have as our GOAL the enroll-
ment of every child of the Confederacy within the borders of this
grand old State. For every response to my calls, and for every
kind expression of confidence, I wish to express my deepest apprecia-
tion and sincere thanks.

Respectfully submitted,

Mrs. Chas. S. Wallace,
Director of Children's Work.

Mrs. E. F. Reid, Division Chaplain, made no typewritten
report, but} spoke a few words to the Convention, which were
enjoyed.

In the absence of Mrs. Frank L. Wilson, Chairman of
the Text-Book Committee, the report of that Committee was
read by the Secretary, and upon motion of Mrs. C. E. Piatt,
the report was adopted.

United Daughters of the Confederacy 47

REPORT OF TEXT-BOOK COMMITTEE
Madam President and United Daughters of the Confederacy :

It is a happy privilege to give you a report of the past year's
work of your Text-Book Committee.

At the end of two years' service we can report that only "True
to the South" histories are recommended by the North Carolina
State Text-Book Commission in their recent book adoptions for the
aext five years' use in our public schools. We feel safe in saying
that our organization has, at this time, the sympathy and interest
of the State Board of Education. Special thanks should be rendered
Dr. E. C. Brooks, State Superintendent of Education, for cancelling
a two-years' contract for Muzzy's History. This was done after
our letters of appeal, and the personal protest of a committee com-
posed of our President, Mrs. Thos. W. Wilson; our Historian, Mrs.
J. L. Bridgers, Miss S. W. Ashe, and Mrs. Henry M. London.

The Chairman of this Committee, being unable to attend this
meeting in person, had requested a complete review and criticism
of the book to be made by Gen. Irvine Walker, Chairman of the
Rutherford Committee of History; also, notations and criticisms by
Miss Bonnie Mauney, protests by Mrs. A. A. Campbell, Historian
General, by Miss Mildred Rutherford, and by Mrs. Walter Crowell,
of our Committee. These were sent to the State Text-Book Com-
mission, previous to their final meeting, and Mrs. Thomas W.
Wilson, acting for the Chairman of the Committee, presented the
appeal for the State Division.

The Text-Book Committees of the Concord and Raleigh Chapters
are to be especially commended for the successful elimination last
winter of this objectionable book from their schools. Other Chap-
ters, where the book is still used this year, would do well to fol-
low their example, as it still is in use in some of our High
Schools until the present year expires.

Capt. S. A. Ashe of Raleigh has given much good advice and
encouragement in our work, and deserves our thanks.

The work has been a pleasure, in that our original aims have
been accomplished, namely, the elimination from our public school
system the use of histories unfair to the South, and a growing
sentiment over our State of the love of truth and justice in our
text-books — honor and loyalty to the heroes of the Confederacy.

May I recommend to the Daughters that a Text-Book Committee
be appointed by each Chapter President, whose duty it will be to
read the histories taught in their schools, to visit their schools
and, at intervals through the year, to prepare and deliver before
the school children, interesting talks on historical and patriotic

48 Minutes of the Twenty-sixth Annual Convention

subjects, dealing especially with the history of the Confederate
States of America. Keep a friendly interest in the schools, the
teachers and the pupils, thus creating a greater love for the cause
we represent.

Respectfully,

Mbs. Fbank L. Wilson,
Chairman.

Mrs. H. M. London moved that the Division send a note
of thanks to Captain Ashe for his valuable assistance to the
Text-Book Committee. This motion was carried.

Mrs. Hunter Smith gave her report on the Woman's Home,
which was accepted by a rising vote of thanks.

REPORT OF CONFEDERATE WOMAN'S HOME,
FAYETTEVILLE, N. C.

Madanv President and Daughters :

Again, it is my pleasure to bring to you my annual report
as State Chairman of The Confederate Woman's Home.

This year has been no exception to your loyalty and generosity,
for the nice boxes have been numerous and bountiful, and so
much appreciated ond enjoyed.

Am very glad to report the addition of two sun-parlors, one
adjoining the Infirmary, and one on the second floor. They have
not been furnished. The grounds have been much improved, and
now that the street cars to Fort Bragg pass the Home, we feel
additional pride in making the surroundings more attractive. The
cars will add greatly to the convenience of friends who wish to
visit the Home.

Another great-felt need has been supplied by the Board — a Ford
Touring Car, which our new Superintendent, Mrs. Norman Wil-
liams, is able to drive, and is ready and willing to bring the
ladies into the city and to church services, when they are able.

We feel very fortunate in having Mrs. Williams as our Super-
intendent. She is a Christian lady, kind and considerate at all
times of the wishes of the old ladies.

The Reaper has dealt heavily with our aged family since our
last Convention. Six have gone to the Great Beyond: Miss Hol-
land and Miss Brown and Mesdames Covington, White, Eliza
McDonald, and Winbourn.

The visits from the Chapters of nearby towns, with remem-
brances and with arranged program, brought a great deal of joy

United Daughters of the Confederacy 49

and gladness to the "shut-ins." I recall delightful visits and
generous donations from the following Chapters: Dunn, Laurin-
burg, Clinton, Rockingham, and Fayetteville.

Our State President honored the Home with a visit, which was
much appreciated by the ladies.

We are really in need of some additional room downstairs. We
have more on the waiting list, eager for admittance, than ever
before in the history of the Home. The only vacancies we now
have are made by death, as all the rooms are filled. We dislike
to keep those waiting who are in need of a place of refuge. We
have in the Home at present, including all the ladies and the
help, 32 persons.

Have saved the best for the last. Am delighted to tell you that
the city water line has been connected with the Home, at a cost
of $650. Previous to this, our dependence was a windmill. A
motion was made at our last Convention that the extension of
the water to the Home be taken up by the Children's Chapters,
and I know every child in the State who has had a part in this
work must feel happy to think they have not only given a cup of
water in His name, but bathtubs full, also. Mrs. Wallace, Director
of the Children's Chapters, will give you the amount they h
raised.

Mrs. Fisher, Assistant Chairman from the West, and Mrs. Mary
Battle, Assistant Chairman from the East, have been zealous in
their good work for the Home, and we have felt the fruits of
their labor.

Again I wish to assure you of our deep appreciation of your
loyalty and support, for which every old lady wishes she could
thank you in person.

Respectfully submitted,

Mrs. Hunter G, Smith,
Chairman.

this difficult position.

REPORT OP SOLDIERS' HOME COMMITTEE
I am happy to report to you a most encouraging, widespread,
and active interest in the welfare of the Soldiers' Home from
all concerned in its present guidance: the Daughters of the Con-
federacy, the Board of Directors, the Veterans at the Home, the
Superintendent, the Matron, the nurses, and the doctors. Since
the beginning of the New Year, this interest has grown healthily
on the inspiring food of the added appropriation for maintenance
and improvement.

A most practical and sustaining demonstration of this interest
came to us at Christmas through the generous contributions of
fruits and sweets/ sent in by the Chapters throughout the State, and
the zeal and untiring work of the Daughters in our midst. Two
beautiful trees made the night a happy one for every Veteran
on the place. The generous and stately tree in the Chapel, with
its abundant gifts of candy, tobacco, handkerchiefs and presents, we
owe to the Girls' Friendly Society of the Church of the Good
Shepherd. For two years now this organization has brought a
new and much appreciated light into the lives of the Veterans.
For the beautiful and bountiful tree in the Hospital, we were
indebted to the cooperation of the nurses, members of Manly's
Battery, and the Chairman of the Purchasing Committee. Gifts
of sweets, raisins, apples, oranges, graphophone records, quilts,
rugs, cigars, marbles and chairs were provided at this time by the
following Chapters: Neuse, Bell's Battery, Frank Parker, J. E. B.
Stuart, Onslow Guards, John W. Dunham, Junius Daniel, Spring
Hope, Nash, Trenton, Zeb. Vance and Boys' Chapter. The 110 com-
rades in the Home were amply provided during the holiday season
with comforts and good cheer.

Owing to increasing years, the Hospital averages from day to day
about one-third of the total members of the Veterans who live at
the Home. Some are in serious stages of infirmity and disease,
some are feeble-minded, almost helpless, or sightless and requiring
infinite patience, tact and tenderness; but our most efficient nurse
and her two assistants conduct the hospital well. Neither the
nurses nor the attendant physician can be too highly commended;
and the fact that, notwithstanding the increasing age of its patients,

United Daughters of the Confederacy 59

the death rate of the Hospital has decreased since 1920, speaks
finally for the efficiency of those in its charge. Throughout this
year a great deal of pleasure has been added to the lives of thorje
in its wards, through the weekly visits of the Visiting Committee
of the Johnston Pettigrew Chapter, organized by Mrs. Rowland,
supplemented by those of Manly's Battery. These visitors bring
fruit, flowers, and magazines, and, above all, the sight of new
and happy faces. The psychological effect of this innovation can-
not be overestimated. With the rest of the Home, the Hospital
came in for its share of the 7,723 pounds of hogmeat that was
raised, killed and cured on the place.

Senator Overman and Representative Pou sent again this year
a most liberal supply of flower seed; and thanks to the industry
and love of beauty of Comrades Beavers, the Home grounds and
the wards of the Hospital have been beautiful with flowers.

I have appended to this report a letter from the Superintendent,
from which I quote in brief for your better understanding of
affairs at the Home.

The interest of the various Chapters throughout the Division
has been constantly manifested by applications for blanks for ad-
mittance to the Home, and at least eight or nine Veterans have
found comfort at the Home through the direct offices of the
Daughters of their home counties. Interest in the furnishing
and maintenance of the Chapter Rooms has spread with the months,
and gifts of chairs and rugs and bed linen have been added to
different rooms on request of their occupants; and by degrees the
cottages, as well as the dormitory rooms, are coming under direct
charge of the different Chapters.

In the cottages, the Chalmers-Glenn, Fannie Patton, and R. F.
Hoke have furnished their rooms. The Alfred Waddell, Bell's Bat-
tery, Manly's Battery, Albert Garrett, John W. Dunham, Annie Kyle.
Onslow Guards, Nash Trenton and Neuse have added to the com-
forts of their rooms in the dormitories. The Pee Dee Chapter
has furnished hymn-books for the Chapel, and the W. N. Everett
Memorial room has been furnished.

On Memorial Day we entertained at the Home with a bountiful
dinner supplied by the management, twelve members of the Johnston
Pettigrew Chapter, the eight of Manly's Battery, twenty school
children from Holly Springs with their chaperons, the members
of the L. O. B. Branch Camp, several memfbers of the State Execu
tive Board, and half a score of distinguished Confederate Veterans,
who took part in the inspiring and moving and patriotic parade,
which under the able management of Mrs. H. M. London embodied

in
cro

60 Minutes of the Twenty-sixth Annual Convention

a not-to-be-forgotten and glorious pageant, the inspiration and
\vn of the year's work.

Not since October, 1869, when the Confederate Veterans' Associa-
tion of North Carolina adopted a resolution that a Home for
helpless and disabled veterans was a necessity, has a more mov-
ing appeal of loyalty to the inestimable birthright of a heroic past
stirred more profoundly the hearts of the people. A day of tre-
mendous accomplishment, it was an appealing crown to a year of
noble and fitting endeavor, widening scope, and healthy growth of
interest.

To the Richmond Reunion we sent twelve of the comrades, writ-
ing directly to the County Commissioners of their home counties
for funds. To the Asheville Reunion we sent ten. For this we
had $50 from Mrs. London and generous help from the Charlotte,
the J. D. Moore, and the Hillsboro Chapters. The Zeb Vance Boys'
Chapter has given a beautiful Confederate flag. Charlotte has
contributed a generous treat of ice cream and cakes.

Through Mrs. London's cooperation we have bought new cur-
tains for the Hospital reception room, two North Carolina State
flags for the Home, apples and oranges throughout the year to
supplement the regular supply for the Hospital, and chairs and
rugs and shades for the rooms, as interest in the comfort and
welfare of the Veterans has suggested. The Board of Directors,
seeing the growth of this interest, has exerted itself to cooperate
in its increase, and we will venture to say that through this coopera-
tion the Veterans are finding a larger scope for their interests and
amusements, and that at the present writing a great majority
of them are more contented than they have been in many years.
To this contentment the Superintendent and his wife have con-
tributed by their active interest the sanitary and well-kept rooms
and the generous "and nourishing fare. The nurses and the doctor
also have contributed by their unfailing patience and intelligent
service.

Extensive repairs, changes and improvements have been made
on the Home, and for all that these improvements have contributed
to the machinery that has enabled the growth of satisfaction in
the Home to go forward, we unceasingly return our thanks; for.
inspired by that satisfaction in the hearts of those who make
their home there, we find the spiritual energy to bring yet nearer
to the realization the vision we have long held of an unfailing
haven of rest and peace for heroic service beyond the measure of
reward.

and was accepted. Mrs. Smith presented the matter of
furnishings for the two new sun-parlors at the Home, and
asked that any who wished to help in this cause should do
so, and suggested that any chapter might furnish a sun-
parlor if it so desired. Mrs. Smith called attention of other
needs at the Home, one of which she said was silver, but
stated that the Fayetteville Chapter had recently undertaken
this work and expected to present the silver to the Home as
a Christmas gift.

REPORT OF THE REGENT OF THE NORTH CAROLINA ROOM
Madam President and Daughters of the N. C. Division of the
V. D. C:
I regret not being present to deliver my report in person. I
had the pleasure of attending the Reunion of Confederate Veterans
in Richmond, Va., last June. I heard it said many times that
this was the greatest of all the Reunions. I am prepared to
believe it was, for surely there never was more lavish hospitality
shown than by the people of Richmond. One of the pleasures of
the occasion was frequent visits to the North Carolina Room in
the Confederate Museum, where we always found many visitors
who seemed greatly interested. Under the wise supervision of our
efficient Vice-Regent, Mrs. J. Allison Hodges, the room had been
repainted; every portrait and picture had been removed, cleaned,
and rehung on the walls; and the cases of relics had been opened
and cleaned, presenting a beautiful appearance. Among the
many social attractions was a tea given at the beautiful home of
Miss Sally Archer Anderson, President of the Literary Memorial
Association, in honor of the Regents of the Museum. I am sure
her handsome Colonial home never looked more beautiful than
on this occasion. Among other hospitalities was an elegant luncheon
given at the home of Mrs. Ruffin Cox, State President of Colonial
Dames and Vice-President of South Carolina. Space in the Minutes
will prevent my recounting the many other entertainments so
graciously given during our sojourn there.

REPORT OP THE VICE-REGENT OP THE NORTH
CAROLINA ROOM
Madam President and Daughters of the N. C. Division of the
V. D. C:

The great event of the past year was the Confederate Reunion
held in Richmond in June. Once more the Capital of the Con-
federacy resounded to the strains of martial music and the tread
of soldier feet. Thousands of Veterans came, and many deeds of
valor were recounted. For one week the city was given over
to their entertainment, and all pronounced it the greatest Reunion
that had ever taken place. We were very proud of this, as our
own chivalrous Gen. Julian S. Carr was the presiding officer. With
his cordial greetings and lavish hospitality he made all the guests
most welcome. More than 5,000 persons visited the Museum dur-
ing the Reunion, and our room was a Mecca for all the North Caro-
linians. The room had a new coat of paint this spring, all of the
portraits and pictures had been taken down, cleaned and rehung,
and the cases of relics opened and cleaned. It was an expensive
and fatiguing job, but we felt repaid for the trouble as the room
presented a very handsome appearance and received many com-
pliments from the visitors.

The following gifts were received:

A portrait of Col. William Johnston of Charlotte, N. C., given
by Mr. and Mrs. William Johnston Andrews of Raleigh.

A flag which belonged to Company B, Thirty-first Regiment of
North Carolina, given to them by the ladies of Anson County,
bearing the motto, "Aut Vincere, Aut Mori" (To conquer, or to die).
This flag was captured early in the war, and recently was presented
by Col. H. H. Andrews and his sister. When captured the flag
was sent to Colonel Andrews' father, John A. Andrews, the War
Governor of Massachusetts. The silken banner is much torn, and
the staff shows the marks of many shells.

A shell which was fired at salute over the grave of Sir Moses
Ezekial at Arlington was presented by Mrs. Charles Fisher Taylor
of the Robert Lee Chapter of Washington, D. C, who was present
at the burial exercises and secured the shell, and the piece of wood
to which the shell is tied is from the original floor of the Lee
home at Arlington.

We are indebted to Col. John W. Gordon for a very interesting
sketch of the life of the gallant Confederate soldier, Henry H.
Rutledge, Colonel of the Twenty-fifth N. C. Regiment.

A little picture of the Confederate Ram, "Albemarle," built
by P. E. Smith of Scotland Neck, was given by Mrs. S. H. Deveraux.

66 Minutes of the Twenty-sixth Annual Convention

A most interesting book, "Glowing Embers," presented by its
author, Mrs. John Van Landingham.

A pamphlet, "Jefferson Davis, Historical Essays," by Alice Morri-
son, given by Miss Jessica Smith.

"North Carolina at Gettysburg," and "Pickett's Charge, a Mis-
nomer," written by Chief Justice Walter Clark.

A group photograph of the ladies composing the Frank Bennett
Chapter of Wadesboro, given by Mrs. Florence Leader.

The gavel used by General Carr at the Reunion in June, 1922,
was placed in the N. C. Room by Mrs. Isaac Faison, Mrs. L. B.
Newell, Mrs. C. F. Taylor.

Two Rolls of Honor have been received, one of Alex McAllister,
one of Spear Whittaker.

Our President, Mrs. Anderson, suggested some time ago that the
Chapters celebrate in some way Jefferson Davis' birthday, to arouse
interest in the work of the Museum. In response to this, Mrs.
Little of Wadesboro, gave a party, from which she realized $16.00,
which was given to Mrs. Anderson for the general endowment
fund of the Museum.

of reaching our goal of $5,000, and I beg that the North Carolina
Daughters make an especial effort to raise this amount this year.
I wish more of the Chapters would take Life Memberships. The
$25.00 paid for one goes to the In Memoriam Endowment Fund.
I also urge you to have the Rolls of Honor filled out.

Thanking you for your continued interest and cooperation in
this sacred work.

Respectfully submitted,

Mrs. J. Allison Hodges,

Vice-Regent.

Mrs. F. M. Williams came forward and presented to Mrs.
Hodges for the N". C. Room at Richmond "her most precious
possessions, the commissions of her father, General Robert
Ransom, in the Confederate Army." The Convention rose
to its feet in honor of General Ransom, and Mrs. Hodges
expressed her appreciation.

The report of the Gettysburg Committee was read and
accepted.

GETTYSBURG MONUMENT COMMITTEE'S REPORT
Daughters of the N. C. Division:

Last year you raised over $1,000.00 to increase the Gettysburg
Monument Fund; this year you have added $655.25. Credit for the
larger donation last year is due to the generous gift of $400.00 from
the Charlotte Chapter, under the leadership of Mrs. Newell, whose
enthusiasm has been and is an inspiration to your Director.

We have been soliciting funds for a long time, and now have
$2,296.81 on hand. It is now time for the Division to decide on the
amount it wishes to put in a marker, and the character and size of
the Memorial. After we select our design it must be submitted to
Congress for approval before it can be placed on Gettysburg Battle-
field.

Let us ever remember that "a country without sentiment is a

68 Minutes of the Twenty-sixth Annual Convention

country without monuments; a land without monuments is a land
without patriots."

Let us show enough patriotism to mark the s~ot where North
Carolinians reached the pinnacle of sacrifice and heroism.

Donations of the largest amounts this year were from the follow-
ing Chapters:

Charlotte, $100; Asheville, $50; High Point, $50; Kinston, $50;
Morehaed City, $50; Mooresville, $25; New Bern, $25; Windsor, $25;
Wilson, $25; Dillsboro, $15. Our efficient Treasurer made interest
of $44. Present amount, $2,296.81.

Respectfully submitted,

Mrs. Marshall Williams,
Chairman.

Upon motion of the Convention, the time for report was
extended and Mrs. Marshall Williams, Chairman, gave the
Convention a thrilling history of North Carolina's troops at
Gettysburg, and the Convention was held spellbound while
she reviewed this great battle. Mrs. Williams asked that the
Division decide now upon the character of the memorial to
be erected. Mrs. F. M. Williams stated that, as Mrs. Mar-
shall Williams had studied this subject from every angle,
she (Mrs. F. M. Williams) did not believe the Division
could do better than to leave to Mrs. Marshall Williams
the decision as to what should be placed on the battlefield.
Mrs. C. F. Harvey, who also had visited Gettysburg for the
North Carolina Division, described the battlefield and
favored a boulder with handsome bronze tablet for the famous
"Bloody Angle," but said that only a handsome monument
would be worthy of a place on Monument Avenue. Upon
motion of Mrs. F. M. Williams, seconded by Mrs. Piatt of
Charlotte, the decision as to marker or monument to be
placed at Gettysburg was left in the hands of Mrs. Marshall
Williams and Mrs. C. F. Harvey.

Mrs. James M. Gudger, Jr., Chairman, read the report
of the Dixie Highway, which report was accepted. Mrs.
Gudger displayed beautiful photographs of the bronze tablet
to be used in marking the highway.

United Daughters of the Confederacy 69

REPORT OF DIXIE HIGHWAY COMMITTEE

The marking of the Dixie Highway with a bronze tablet of Gen.
Robert E. Lee on "Traveler" at each State Boundary through which
the Dixie Highway runs, has met with tremendous approval
throughout the Southern States and also in the North. The move-
ment was designed and the project was first sponsored by the
Asheville Chapter of the U. D. C, and later was unanimously
adopted at the State Convention of North Carolina held at Winston-
Salem in October, 1921. The movement has gained tremendous
headway, and was unanimously adopted at the Florida State Con-
vention, which convened in Orlando, May 3 of this year. The
tablet is to be of bronze in bas relief, with Lee on "Traveler,"
size 24x28 inches. The die will cost $800, and will be owned by
the U. D. C. of North Carolina, who first adopted the movement.
All other States can secure the tablets at $115 each.

Mrs. Uriah Seely of Asheville, N. C, and Orlando, Fla., who is
a member of the Asheville Chapter, conceived the idea of erecting
the tablets, and she calls our attention to the fact that we, as true
Daughters of the South, have too long neglected our duty in placing
General Lee's picture in Southern homes, as those of Lincoln
occupy a place of honor in the Northern homes. Thus will General
Lee, though dead, still speak through all the ages. We have made
a small facsimile of the large bronze tablet, which all Chapters
of the U. D. C. can secure at $2 per 100, to be sold at twenty-five
cents each, which would net $23 for each 100 lot sold. This we
consider an additional honor to General Lee, and an easy plan to
finance the movement. Send orders for the pictures to Birrell
Brown Company, 55-57 Lafayette Street, Newark, N. J. Confer
with Mrs. J .M. Gudger, Jr., who is Chairman for North Carolina
and introduced this project at the State Convention at Winston-
Salem last October.

Respectfully submitted,

Mrs. James M. Gudger,

Chairman.

The report of the Jefferson Davis Highway Committee,
Mrs. L. E. Fisher, Chairman, was read and accepted.

REPORT OF JEFFERSON DAVIS HIGHWAY COMMITTEE
Madam President and Daughters:

The progress of the work of my committee to secure enactment
of the legal naming of North Carolina's link of the Jefferson Davis
Highway has been slow. We have found that the State Highway

70 Minutes of the Twenty-sixth Annual Convention

Commission has that power, and our initial work has been with
that body. Maps of the proposed highway through North Carolina
and many urgent letters have been sent to each member of the
commission. Mrs. Jacksie Daniel Thrash Morrison, member from
North Carolina on the General Committee, appeared before the
commission at the April meeting and presented the proposal, and
the matter was taken under advisement by the Commission. No
action has yet been taken.

During the recent Reunion of the North Carolina Division of
Confederate Veterans, I appeared before the meeting and presented
the movement and they unanimously endorsed it. I feel sure this
will give strong momentum to our progress.

All the meetings of the State Highway Commission are held in
Raleigh, and a confirmation by the legislature of any action taken
by the Commission will be necessary.

Respectfully submitted,

Mrs. L. E. Fisher.

Chairman.

Mrs. Marshall Williams asked permission to call for
pledges for Gettysburg Monument, The following amounts

REPORT OF STATE DIRECTOR OF "WOMEN OF THE SOUTH
IN WAR TIMES"

Madam President and Daughters of the North Carolina Division,
U. D. C:

Last year it was with a feeling of pride that I brought you your
report on the sale of our book and the publicity fund for this book,
but today it is with a feeling of regret.

Only twenty-three Chapters have responded at all to the call of the
General Division, who last year at St. Louis pledged themselves to
sell this year 10,000 copies and asked that each Chapter sell or buy
not less than 10 copies. Have you even tried to carry out your
part of this pledge? Five Chapters in our Division have fulfilled
their part: Wilson has ordered 18 copies; Rocky Mount, 17; Dur-
ham, 12: Greenville, 11, and New Bern 10.

The following are the ones who bought one or more copies: Snow
Hill, Sylva, Laurinburg, Hendersonville, Nashville, Chapel Hill,
Ahoskie, Kinston; Fannie Patton Chapter, Asheville; Asheville
Chapter, Webster, Fairmont, Fayetteville, Weldon, Wilmington,
Raleigh, Graham, and Aulander. These orders total 100 copies.

The following contributions to the Publicity Fund for this book
have been received: Enfield, $1.00; Fayetteville, $1.00; Graham,
$1.50; Greenville, $1.00; Rocky Mount, $2.00; Snow Hill, $1.00;
Spring Hope, $1.00. Total, $8.50.

Respectfully submitted,

Tempe Whitehead Holt,

State Director.

Mrs. R. P. Holt, Director of World War Records, read the
following report, which was accepted :

United Daughters of the Confederacy 75

WORLD WAR RECORDS DIRECTOR'S REPORT
Madam President and Daughters:

It is with a feeling of regret that I bring you this, the report of
your year's work in collecting the records of our boys who risked
their lives for you and for me during the years of 1917-1918.

Only twenty Chapters have sent in records this year; but as
many others have sent for blanks, I hope when you go home you
will at once collect these records from your boys and send me
the blanks filled out by the 20th, so I can make the copies and
send them on to my Chairman-General in time to count on our
report at Birmingham.

The following is a list of Chapters and the number of correct
records received: LaGrange, Dillsboro, Charlotte, Asheville Chap-
ter, Enfield, 1 each; Kinston, 2; Rocky Mount, 3; Greenville,
8; Jacksonville, 11; Durham, 13; Oriental and North Wilkesboro,
14 each; Mount Airy, 21; Whiteville, 22; Sanford and Waynes-
ville, 29 each; Spring Hope and Shelby, 38 each; Fannie Patton
Chapter, 50; 4 without Chapter name. And now it gives me great
pleasure to present to you the name of the winner of the Sallie
Bunn Thorpe Prize of $10.00 in gold which was offered by the
Bethel Heroes Chapter, in honor of their first President, to the
Chapter sending in the greatest number of records correctly filled.
This prize has been won by Mrs. Thos. L. Speiden, President of
the Cape Fear Chapter, who sent in 131 records. These records
were .all typewritten, so that I had only to make the general copy.
For this I wish to thank Mrs. Speiden.

Respectfully submitted,

Tempe Whitehead Holt,
Director World War Records.

Mrs. F. M. Williams, Chairman of the Headquarters
Committee, announced that they were ready to make their
report. This report was read and accepted.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE TO SELECT U. D. C.
HEADQUARTERS

After due deliberation your Committee brings to you the follow-
ing report:

That the Robert E. Lee Hotel at Winston-Salem be adopted as
headquarters of the U. D. C, N. C. Division. This does not, how-
ever, prevent invitations from being given and accepted for the
Convention to meet on the independent plan in other places.

76 Minutes of the Twenty-sixth Annual Convention

We also recommend that when the Division meets at Head-
quarters, all expenses of the Convention be paid by the Division.
Respectfully submitted,

Mrs. F. M. Williams,
Mrs. H. M. London,
Mrs. P. A. Gorrell,
Mrs. L. E. Fisher.

It was moved and carried that the Convention be open
to invitations for next Convention. Mrs. Lindsay of Greens-
boro extended an invitation to the Convention to meet with
the Guilford Chapter in Greensboro in 1923, which invita-
tion was accepted with a rising vote of thanks.

Mrs. F. M. Williams then introduced Dr. Smith of Wash-
ington-Lee University, saying, "Dr. Smith will tell you what
he wishes to do, and then I will tell you what I want you to
do." Dr. Smith charmed the Convention with his wonderful
talk, and the Lee Memorial was discussed fully. Mrs. Wil-
liams made the following motion : "Moved, that Xorth Caro-
lina Division, U. D. C, reaffirm the resolution adopted
by the General Convention to enlarge and fireproof the Lee
Chapel in Lexington, Va., and that N. C. Division stand
firmly by the action of the General Organization in this
matter."

This motion was carried, and the President was instructed
to so act at the General Convention in Birmingham.

Mrs. C. F. Harvey, Chairman of the Maury Memorial
Committee, gave a verbal report and, after much discussion,
it was decided that $800 is a most creditable amount for
North Carolina to give toward the Maury Memorial Asso-
ciation.

The Convention then heard the report of the Director for
Jefferson Davis Monument, Mrs. Jacksie Daniel Thrash
Morrison, which was accepted.

REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF JEFFERSON DAVIS MONUMENT
Madam President and Daughters of the N. C. Div., U. D. C:

If you Daughters honor the name of that great statesman and
soldier whose memory should be engraved on the hearts of every

United Daughters of the Confederacy 77

United Daughter of the Confederacy, as you are contributing to
his monument at Fairview, Ky., then surely your interest in
Jefferson Davis is growing less and less.

It is with humiliation, almost, that I am bringing this report
to you — the most meager in all the years, when it should have been
the best — the first year that the work has been your very own.

Because the Confederate Veterans called upon the United
Daughters of the Confederacy to assume the responsibility of
finishing the Monument, your President-General, Mrs. McKinney,
recommended it to you at St. Louis, and you accepted this duty.

How you are fulfilling your pledge, your financial report will
show.

How much the Veterans are depending on you the following
extracts from a letter written to your Chairman by Gen. William
B. Haldeman, President of the Jefferson Davis Monument Associa-
tion, will show you. General Haldeman says:

"The Legislature of Kentucky made an appropriation of $15,000
to the Jefferson Davis Monument Fund by a vote of 28 to 4 in the
Senate and 66 to 6 in the House. This measure, with a number of
other appropriation measures, was vetoed by the Governor in the
closing hours of the legislative session. There were a number of
appropriations that were vetoed by the Governor and he did not
see his way clear to approve the Jefferson Davis appropriation.
Although a Republican, he had given me active support and was
really anxious to sign the measure, but believed that under the
circumstances the politics involved in the various appropriation
measures, to approve our measure he would invite attacks, and he
therefore disapproved the bill. I had passed, however, in the
preceding Legislature, a bill, which is now on the statutes, that
the State of Kentucky will take charge of the monument and the
park at Fairview upon the dedication of the monument, and will
maintain it for all time to come."

The Confederate Reunion Convention at Richmond approved the
reports submitted by me, unanimously, and that was all. No
money was raised at the Reunion, and that is what we need just
now.

The Woman's Memorial Association, through Mrs. Wright, sent
us $500.00 immediately before the Reunion, and promised to raise
additional funds. The money raised by this Association was sent
direct to the Jefferson Davis Home Association.

At the time of the Richmond Reunion the monument at Fairview
had been raised from a height of 176 feet to 216 feet, at a cost of
$20,000. At that time $17,000 had been raised by the various
sources, and I advanced $3,000 to carry out the contract with the

78 Minutes of the Twenty-sixth Annual Convention

contractor for the amount due — $20,000 for work done. Of this
amount, $2,000 has been repaid to me from funds raised by the
Daughters and others, which reached the Jefferson Davis Home
Association shortly after the Richmond meeting.

Immediately upon my return from Richmond, I stopped active
work on the monument, and work will not be resumed until we
have on hand the amount necessary to complete it.

That amount will be about $30,000, and with this sum raised we
can complete the monument within two months and dedicate it and
turn it over to the State of Kentucky on June 3, 1923.

WE WILL HAVE TO LOOK IN THE MAIN FOR THESE FUNDS
FROM THE DAUGHTERS OF THE CONFEDERACY, WHO HAVE
UNDERTAKEN TO COMPLETE THE WORK.

Our Southland is studded with monuments to the gallant men
of the Confederacy. They have been the work of your loyal hearts
and generous hands. Let this, the completion of the Jefferson
Davis Monument, be the crowning glory of your loyalty and love.
Make possible this prayer and hope:

"That in the future some historian shall come forth both strong

and wise,
With a love of this Republic, and the truth before his eyes,
And will show the subtle causes of the War between the States.
He will go back in his studies far beyond our modern dates,
He will hold the scale of Justice; he will measure praise and

blame,
And the South will stand the verdict, and stand it without

shame."

Mrs. Jacksie Daniels Thrash Morrison.

Mrs. Morrison also discussed the Jefferson Davis High-

amended and seconded by Mrs. Fisher and accepted by the
Convention :

vote of thanks. In the absence of Mrs. James K. Norfleet,
First Vice-President, her report was read by the Recording
Secretary.

FIRST VICE-PRESIDENT'S REPORT
It is with sincere regret that I cannot present my report in
person. As First Vice-President, my duties have been so simple
it seems almost unnecessary to make any report; however, since
it has been called for I will render one.

I have answered by return mail each request for blank, since
I succeeded in getting the blanks. I have received during the
year thirteen letters and sent out 121 blanks.

I want to thank you for the honor of being permitted to serve
the U. D. C, and assure you it has been a great pleasure. With
regret that I could not accomplish more,

Respectfully submitted,

Mbs. James K. Norfleet,
First Vice-President, Dept. N. C. U. D. C.

The President then called for the report of the Courtesy
Committee, which was read by Mrs. H. M. London.

District No. 5

Wilmington, October 11, 1922 — President, Mrs. Thomas W. Wilson,
Gastonia.

The next Convention of the North Carolina Division, will be held
in Greensboro, the second Wednesday in October, 1923. The next
General Convention will be held in Washington, D. C, the third
Wednesday in November, 1923.

The annual meeting of the Fifth District was held at China Grove
June 15. The delegates assembled at the charming home of Mrs.
C. B. Miller, where a delicious buffet luncheon was served by the
hostess Chapter. After luncheon we drove to St. Mark's Lutheran
Church, where our business session was held.

The meeting was opened with prayer by the Rev. C. P. Fisher,
pastor of the church, and this was followed by the impressive U. D.
C. Ritual. Miss Virginia Hoke welcomed us most beautifully in
the name of the China Grove Chapter. Several delightful songs
gave variety to the program. Perhaps the most interesting musical
feature of the day was a solo by Mrs. Sloan, of Charlotte, "Cover
them over with Beautiful Flowers." This is a lovely poem set to
music and dedicated to our Confederate Memorial Day. Mrs. Sloan's
glorious voice fittingly interpreted the words and music. All who
desire a new and beautiful selection for use on Memorial Day
should secure copies of this song from the composer, Mrs. Baker,
of Charlotte.

Mrs. Thomas W. Wilson, President of the North Carolina Division,
was the guest of honor and the speaker of the afternoon. With
her sure touch and intimate knowledge of both State and general
work, she heightened our interest in all phases of the work and
made us proud indeed of our latest State President.

United Daughters of the Confederacy 99

Lexington, Salisbury and China Grove were well represented.
High Point sent regrets and a wonderfully fine report of a great
year's work. Hers was unquestionably the banner report. Thomas-
ville, to our regret, was not represented. All reports showed that
U. D. C. Chapters and C. of C. Chapters were responding well to
calls made upon them.

Concord is to revise her Children's Chapter this year.

It was decided last year that the District Scholarship be financed
by assessing each Chapter 25 cents per capita. So far, only Thomas-
ville, High Point and Salisbury have paid their quota.

Pledges were made to the following causes: Portrait of Mrs.
Parsley; Stars and Bars Memorial, Cunningham Memorial. These
pledges have been paid by each Chapter to the State Treasurer.

We adopted with pleasure Mrs. Wilson's suggestion that each dis-
trict make and design a District flag to carry to Convention. Miss
Mary Henderson was asked by the meeting to design a flag for the
Fifth District.

Mrs. P. S. Carlton moved that the District go on record as desir-
ing the self-entertaining plan for the annual State Conventions.
This motion was unanimously carried. Mrs. W. J. Swink, at the
suggestion of Mrs. Wilson, moved that we sponsor the plan of having
all District meetings in either April or May, thus allowing the
State President to plan her visits to these meetings more readily.
This motion was also carried.

Mrs. W. H. Mendenhall of Lexington was elected District Director.
District accepted an invitation from Lexington for the meeting
of 1923.

I am not making a detailed statement of Chapter work, as the
Chapter reports cover this.

Respectfully submitted,

Maby Henderson,

Director.

District No. 6

The annual meeting of District No. 6 was held with the Randolph
Chapter in Asheboro, June 21, it having been postponed from April
19 on account of bad weather and impassable roads.

Three Chapters had delegates present with fine reports. The
other three Chapters were not able to make the trip, due to the
heavy rains on the 20th, causing washouts on the roads.

100 Minutes of the Twenty-sixth Annual Convention

The Asheboro Chapter had made every preparation to entertain
a large delegation. The delegates and visitors were asked to
assemble at the Central Hotel, and from there they were carried
in automobiles to the Methodist Church.

The church was beautifully decorated with Queen Anne's lace
and Confederate flags.

A delicious luncheon was served in the ladies' parlor of the
church — a salad, followed by cream and cake. Each course carried
out the Confederate colors, red and white.

The business meeting was called to order at 2 o'clock by Mrs.
E. L. Moffitt, First Vice-President, in the absence of the President,
Mrs. J. V. Hunter, who had so recently lost her mother. Mrs. J. D.
Kernodle, Leader of the Sixth District, presided. Mrs. W. H. Under-
wood acted as Secretary. Mrs. E. L. Moffitt made the address of
welcome. She was charming and gracious, and made everyone feel
at home and welcome. Mrs. Kernodle made the response, assuring
Mrs. Moffitt and the Asheboro Chapter that it was a great privilege
and pleasure to meet with them; that Randolph had reason to be
proud of her record in the war, and the Daughters and Grand-
daughters were proving their loyalty to those who wore the Gray,
by calling their Chapter by the name of Randolph.

The roll was called; three Chapers had representatives present
with fine reports, showing work well done and responses to all
calls. Then came the round-table talks and other business.

Mrs. J. P. Montgomery, Leader of the Stonewall Jackson Chil-
dren's Chapter of Burlington, read a fine report of work done,
showing the interest manifested in the work by her Chapter.

Miss Elise Thompson of the Jacob A. Long Chapter of Children
of the Confederacy, of Graham, read a report from that Chapter.
They have 27 members and had sent $31.50 to the Old Woman's
Home at Payetteville; put buttonhole bouquets on Veterans, and
carried flowers to graves on Memorial Day; also helped the Mother
Chapter to serve dinner to 86 Veterans that day.

It was the pleasure of the meeting to elect Miss Emma McKinney
of Reidsville as District Leader, to take up her work at the Octo-
ber meeting in Wilmington.

It was decided to fix time for the District meeting; to consult
with the State President in regard to other District meetings, and
arrange time so as not to conflict; to ask Chapters when sending
in contributions to the Hero Fund that all surplus be applied to
the Educational Fund by Treasurer.

The meeting was closed with prayer by the Chaplain of Ran-
dolph Chapter.

United Daughters of the Confederacy 101

After Miss McKinney, who was not present at the election, had
been notified of her nomination, she declined to accept the office,
stating that her time was too fully occupied with other duties.

The election was taken up with Chapters by the Leader of the
District and the nomination and vote of each Chapter taken. Mrs.
Daniel S. Hall of Burlington was unanimously elected as Leader
of District No. 6.

It is a pleasure to me to turn this work over to Mrs. Hall, who,
I am sure, will carry on the District work with energy and
enthusiasm. Each Chapter has grown in membership and interest
during the past years:

Number
Members

Charles Fisher Chapter, Burlington 64

C. of C. Stonewall Jackson, Burlington 35

Graham Chapter, Graham 44

C. of C. Jacobl A. Long, Graham 27

Rockingham Chapter, Reidsville 50

C. of C. Annie Dillard 60

Randolph Chapter, Asheboro 46

Guilford Chapter, Greensboro 148

Chalmers Glenn Chapter, Leaksville-Spray 48

C. of C. Chapter, Leaksville-Spray 18

This gives a membership of 400 for the Mother Chapters in the
District and 140 C. of C. Chapters.

It is with real regret that I have to send my report instead of
being present myself; but, due to many causes, it is impossible
for me to be with the Convention this year.

Last, but not least, Chalmers Glenn Chapter, Leaksville-Spray,
has invited the District to meet with them in 1923.

Mrs. J. D. Kernodle,
Leader for District No. 6.

District No. 7

The Chapters composing the Seventh District, namely, Albemarle,
Monroe, Wadesboro, Laurinburg, Rockingham, and the Children's
Chapters of Wadesboro and Rockingham, have been active in
U. D. C. work the past year. They have looked after the Veterans,
aided and entertained them, and responded to practically all the
calls made upon them in behalf of the various U. D. C. activities.

102 Minutes of the Twenty-sixth Annual Convention

We are glad indeed to be able to report tbe organization of a
new Chapter at Rockingham, which promises to become one of
the largest and most active Chapters in the State. Starting with
a membership of 43, which has since materially increased, Mrs. Ent-
whistle, President. The ladies composing the Pee Dee Guards,
Rockingham, went immediately to work; a delegation of them
visited the Old Ladies' Home at Fayetteville, carrying with them
50 cans of preserves, fruit, etc., and one of the members, Mrs. W. T.
Covington, was so impressed with the spirit of the Home that she
adopted on the spot one of the dear old ladies and will see that
all her needs and wants are supplied. They have also organized
a flourishing Children's Chapter with 50 charter members. We are
proud to have these wide-awake new Chapters added to the original
five faithful, steady, dependable Chapters of the Seventh District,
and we give them a hearty welcome into the Confederacy.

Our District meeting was held at Monroe, June 9, and was a
most enjoyable occasion. The meeting was called to order by Mrs.
R. B. Redwine, President Monroe Chapter, and after prayer by the
Chaplain, Mrs. W. A. Lane, a most interesting program, consisting
of readings, speeches, and most delightful music, was given by the
hostess Chapter, closing with a beautiful address by Gen. William A.
Smith of Ansonviile, whom we all were delighted to have as an
honor guest on this occasion. At 1 o'clock a most elegant luncheon
was served by the Monroe Daughters, after which the meeting again
convened, Mrs. J. M. Brown, the District Director, presiding. The
feature of the afternoon session was the address by our loved and
honored State President, Mrs. T. W. Wilson, who, as she always
does, inspired us with fresh zeal and enthusiasm in this worthy
cause. We were fortunate in having with us, besides our State
President, a number of other women notable in U. D. C. work.
Mrs. I. W. Faison, Mrs. Eugene Little, Mrs. L. B. Newell and Mrs.
Cabel Smith, Ex-President, Virginia Division, were in turn intro-
duced by the Director and each made a most interesting and
delightful talk. After hearing Chapter reports and other routine
business, the meeting elected new officers, Mrs. R. B. Redwine
being chosen as District Leader and Mrs. W. C. Crowell as Secre-
tary. It was decided to hold the next meeting at Racky River
Springs, picnic fashion. Mrs. Eugene Little, in her own inimitable
way, expressed to the Monroe Chapter the great pleasure and hap-
piness which had been ours as their guests, and the meeting was
adjourned by singing "Blest Be the Tie That Binds."

Mrs. J. M. Brown,

District No. 10

Johnston Pettigrew Chapter was hostess to the Tenth District
this year. The meeting was held in Christ Church parish house,
April 22. Mrs. Wilson, Mrs. Bridgers and Gen. William A. Smith
were our honor guests. General Smith made an appeal for assist-
ance in reviving U. C. V. camps. He reported that under Mrs.
Wilson's regime one-half of the lapsed camps had been revived,
largely through her co-operation. Mrs. Wilson made a splendid
address on the work of the Daughters of the Confederacy. Mrs.
Bridgers urged the District to do a larger historical work.

Excellent reports were given from the Chapters and the Children
of the Confederacy Chapters, these being the Henry A. London
Chapter at Pittsboro and the Manly's Battery Chapter at Raleigh.
Mrs. Bickett's report on the Stars and Bars Memorial was read.

Mrs. Alfred Williams of Raleigh was elected District Director
for next year.

The delegates adjourned to the Peacock Alley Tea Room, where
they were entertained at a beautifully appointed luncheon. After
lunch they visited the Hall of History. Automobiles then carried
them to the Soldiers' Home, where they were graciously received
by Superintendent and Mrs. Wiggs and shown through the dining-
room, pantries, kitchens, dormitories and hospital, visiting with
the Veterans on the way. They then were driven to the home of
Mrs. Josephus Daniels, where a beautiful reception was held.

Mrs. H. M. London,
District Director.

District No. 11

The annual session of the Eleventh District of the United Daugh-
ters of Confederacy met in Dunn, Thursday, May 4, 1922. Seven
Chapters were represented, with a total attendance of about 100.
Mrs. McD. Holliday, President of Chicora Chapter, presided.

The guests were welcomed by Mr. J. C. Clifford, representing the
Mayor, and greetings brought from the Chamber of Commerce, the
Woman's Club and the Cornelius Harnett Chapter of D. A. R.
Mrs. Thomas W. Wilson, our State President, was presented, and
she, in her usual charming manner, outlined the work of the U. D. C,
emphasizing the important phases. This was the outstanding
feature of the day's program. Several musical numbers were given

104 Minutes of the Twenty-sixth Annual Convention

by members of the local Chapter, and after a delicious luncheon,
which was served at noon, Mrs. Holliday presented Miss MacMillan,
District Director, who gave a most pleasing little talk on the work
and future plans of the District. The minutes of the last meeting
were then read and the usual roll call disposed of. The Chapter
reports were unusually good, showing much work and interest
during the year.

The following officers were elected: Mrs. N. A. Townsend, Dis-
trict Director; Miss Annie MacEachern, Secretary.

Mrs. Hunter Smith, representing the Woman's Confederate Home,
reported the recent improvements and present needs. She also
stated there were numerous applications.

Mrs. J. H. Anderson spoke about the Lee Memorial and said
it was decided at the State Convention that this was the great work
of the year. Miss Catharine Robinson of Fayetteville, in her pleas-
ant way, urged each Chapter to see that the Veterans went to the
Reunion at Richmond.

Upon motion of Miss Brown, a rising vote of thanks was given
to Miss MacMillan for her splendid services.

Upon invitation of Miss MacMillan, it was decided to hold the
next annual meeting at Red Springs, date to be decided later.

(Miss) Cornelia S. MacMillan, Director.

District No. 12
Madam, President and United Daughters of the Confederacy :

We beg to submit the following report:

The meeting of the Twelfth District was delightfully entertained
by the Rose Hill Chapter, at the home of Mrs. Harvey Boney,
June 10, 1922. This meeting was one of rare pleasure and profit.
Our chief regret was that our charming State President could not
be present.

A detailed account of this meeting was given publicity at the time.

The meeting in session, eight Chapters responded to the roll
call and gave reports. All reports were in a very optimistic vein.
Miss Winifred Faison presented in her own original, interesting
manner, "Some of the Obstacles that Hinder Chapter Work."

Mrs. Marshall Williams thundered of Gettysburg. Such a real-
istic picture she painted for the Daughters that we hung our heads

United Daughters of the Confederacy 105

in humiliation as we realized how remiss we had been in discharge
of our duty to our fallen heroes. Our old soldiers present wept
audibly.

Mrs. B. B. Witherington, in her sweetly serious manner, con-
ducted a memorial for the Daughters who have left us this year.

Mrs. Thomas McGee of Goldsboro was unanimously elected as
your Director. You are indeed to be congratulated on this selec-
tion. Under Mrs. McGee's leadership we feel sure the work will
go forward in a marvelous degree.

All literature sent in for distribution was remailed to Chapters,
two hundred letters were written, and one copy of our book,
"Southern Women in War Times," was presented.

Our District was greatly honored at the last General Convention,
Miss Carrie Mae Saunders, of Burgaw and our own District, having
won in the "Peace Essay" Contest.

Respectfully submitted,

Mrs. S. A. Wooten-.

District No. 13

The Thirteenth District met in the Sunday School rooms of the
Methodist Church in Nashville, April 19, 1922, with representatives
present from the Chapters of Greenville, Tarboro, Wilson, Spring
Hope, Nashville, and Rocky Mount. Middlesex 'phoned they were
ready to start, but on account of the downpour were afraid to
attempt the trip, but sent their report.

The Chapter reports showed work and interest.

The Powell Banner, given each year to the Chapter enrolling
the largest number of new members, was won by the John W.
Dunham Chapter of Wilson.

At 12 o'clock we held a short memorial hour, after which we
were invited to the basement, where the Robert H. Ricks Chapter
were hostesses to the District at a delightful luncheon.

After lunch, each object for which the U. D. C. is working was
brought to us by some member of the District who had posted
herself on that particular work.

We want to go on record as endorsing Mrs. B. A. Blenner of
Richmond for Recording Secretary General.

We have eight Chapters, with a membership of 631, in our Dis-

106 Minutes of the Twenty-sixth Annual Convention

trict. We have this year added 58 new members. We are nearly
100 per cent registered with both State and General Registrars.
Have paid all taxes and sinking fund.

We have given the following amounts:

Confederate Woman's Relief Fund, $21.50; General Educational
Fund, $19.50; State Educational Fund, $37.50; Stars and Bars
Memorial, $11.50; Jefferson Davis Monument, $56.50; Free Bed at
Sanatorium, $38.50; Gettysburg Monument, $34; Lee Memorial, $63;
Publicity Fund for Book, $4; Maury Monument, $34; North Caro-
lina Room in Richmond, $4; Woodrow Wilson Foundation, $10;
War Mothers, $6; Cunningham Memorial, $13; Confederate Monu-

erate Woman's Home we have sent many boxes, of a total value
of $225, and at Christmas one Chapter sent a filled stocking for
each member of the Home. To the Soldiers' Home, boxes and
clothing valued at $75.70. We have visited the Soldiers' Home and
tried to make the dear old men as happy as we could. One of our
C of C. Chapters has sent $5 toward the Waterworks at the Home
at Fayetteville.

While we have not contributed money toward the Jefferson Davis
Highway, a number of our members have worked diligently for
same.

We have sent one book to the Bodleian Library; collected 54 cor-
rect World War Records; sent in 38 subscriptions to The Confed-
erate Veteran; sold 44 copies of our book; and I forgot to mention
the $119.95 we have given to the Hero Fund.

Our District has bought and placed in the University of the
South at Sewanee our State Flag, the same being asked for by
the University; cost $11.

Last year we won the prize of $5 for sending in the most new
subscriptions to The Confederate Veteran, which we gave toward
the Jefferson Davis Monument, and it was sent direct to the
Treasurer-General so it would count at St. Louis.

Members of our District won two of the State historical prizes
last year, and one of the C. of C. prizes.

One of our members won the Hyde Medal at the General Conven-
tion, and also the prize offered to the State Director who placed
the greatest number of copies of our book.

This year our District is giving two prizes of $10 each The
Sallie Bunn Thorpe Prize goes to the Chapter sending in the

United Daughters of the Confederacy 107

largest number of World War records correctly filled out. This
prize is given by the Bethel Heroes Chapter, in honor of their
first President.

The Martha O. Winstead Prize is given by the District in honor
of our first Director, to be awarded to the District sending in the
best historical report by September 15.

Two prizes were offered to schools, one for the best paper on
"Jefferson Davis," the other for the best paper on "Bryan Grimes."

One State and one General prize is given by a member of our
District; value, $25.

We have observed all anniversaries and Memorial Day.

We have given dinners to our Veterans and their wives and the
widows of Veterans. Have given $40 to needy Veterans. One
Chapter supports a widow of a Veteran.

We have sent flowers, fruit and nourishment to sick Veterans and
Daughters, and when they have answered the last roll-call we
have sent to the Veterans an ivy wreath with Confederate Flag,
and to Daughters, wreaths of red and white.

A pension for a Veteran has been secured through the efforts of
one of our Chapters.

Two Chapters have secured passes for our Veterans to their
county fairs, and one Chapter served free dinner to the Veterans
of two counties on the fair grounds.

We secured free transportation for our Veterans to the Reunion
at Richmond, and enough money to pay all expenses. Several of
our members went along to help give the Veterans a good time.

Two Chapters have started Confederate Sections in their city
libraries.

One Chapter has nearly ready to unveil a monument to our
own William Dorsey Pender.

We feel very proud of our historical report, which is as follows:
Typewritten pages, 215; printed pages, 124; written pages, 238;
illustrations, 4; pictures in schools, 3; flags in schools, 3; books in
libraries, 464; markers at Veterans' graves, 22; reminiscences, 3;
essays, 31.

We paid the way of a Veteran from our District, who now lives
at the Soldiers' Home, to the Reunion at Asheville.

One of our members spoke, both in Raleigh and in Burlington,
on "Sidney Lanier."

We have four active C. of C. Chapters, with a total member

108 Minutes of the Twenty-sixth Annual Convention

ship of 283. We are sorry to report the Chapter at Nashville
inactive, but hope before another year to have it back at work.

Respectfully submitted,

Tempe Whitehead Holt, Leader,
Maby Bryan Gobham, Secretary.

District No. 14

It gives me pleasure to report, for the District, 12 Chapters of
U. D. C, with an active membership of 692. During the year one
new Chapter has been organized, the "Albritton Sugg" at Hooker-
ton, with eight members. One hundred and eight new members
were received in the District. Thirty-two members have died,
been demitted, or dropped.

There are in the District nine Chapters of C. of C, with a total
membership of 317. One new Chapter, "Capt. Swift Galloway" at
Snow Hill, has been organized, with seven members. One hun-
dred and fifteen new members were received during the year.
Six members of C. of C. have been transferred, having reached the
age of eighteen. I am happy to report at this writing that every
Chapter in the District, both U. D. C. and C. of C, not only are
properly registered with the State and General Division but each
has a complete Chapter file.

I have had communication, both by letter and by 'phone, with
interested parties at Belhaven, looking to the organization of a
Chapter of U. D. C, for which application blanks have already
been forwarded.

I have not found it necessary to visit in person the Chapters
of the District as much as I did last year, but by correspondence
and 'phone I have kept in close touch with the work. The Calen-
dar prepared by our worthy President, Mrs. Thomas W. Wilson,
outlining the work for the year, and her monthly letters calling
special attention to the different phases of the work, have been
very helpful in stimulating activity, and all the Chapters at
this time are in fine condition.

The financial report will show marked interest in education
and an increase in all the contributions. Four prizes of $5 each
for essays were offered. One scholarship has been awarded at
the State College, Raleigh, to the grandson of a Confederate Vet-
eran. By request of Mrs. Wilson, our President, flags have been
placed in all the city schools of the District, and arrangements

United Daughters of the Confederacy 109

have been made to place them in the county schools next year. By
request of the Daughters, the birthday of Matthew Fontaine Maury,
January 14, was observed in all the city schools with special
program.

Favorite hymns of Generals Lee and Jackson, also of President
Davis, were used in all the churches on the Sunday preceding
their respective birthday.

The Chapters have manifested special interest in arranging
historical programs for their meetings. A number of scrapbooks
are being prepared. There have been 28 copies of The Confederate
Veteran subscribed for; 16 copies of "Women of the South in War
Times"; five copies of "Truths of History," and one copy of "Boys
of the Confederacy." Eighty-three War Records have been pre-
pared, two Crosses of Honor bestowed, and several applications
are in hand. Ninety-seven dollars have been spent for Markers,
one picture has been presented to a school, and one Chapter
purchased six uniforms for their Veterans, amounting to $125.
Request was made, by the Chapters, of the County Commissioners
throughout the District, to furnish free transportation to all the
Veterans to attend the Reunion in Richmond in June; many
attended, and all report having had a very enjoyable time.

The annual meeting of the District was held Saturday, April 22,
with the Pamlico Chapter in the Auditorium of the Washington
Collegiate Institute, Washington Park, Washington. Reports of
the various Chapters were read and these revealed very satisfac-
tory results. The George Stanley Dewey Loving Cup awarded
to the Chapter making the best educational report for the year,
was won by the A. M. Waddell Chapter of Kinston. The prize
of $10 in gold awarded for the greatest increase in membership
during the year, was won by the Joseph Kinsey Chapter of
C. of C. of LaGrange. Mrs. C. F. Harvey of the A. M. Waddell
Chapter, Kinston, was elected District Director for the coming
year.

An invitation was extended by Mrs. D. L. M. Fields, President
of the Col. C. F. Whitfield Chapter, LaGrange, to the District to
be their guest at the next meeting, in the Spring of 1923, which
invitation was unanimously accepted. The weather was very
unfavorable; but even with this, we had a splendid gathering,
and upon adjournment all expressed themselves as being amply
repaid for having made the effort to be present.

On May 10, Memorial exercises were observed by the District.
The Veterans, their wives and widows, were all cared for in a
splendid way. During the entire year special attention Was

110 Minutes of the Twenty-sixth Annual Convention

given these, and they have been ministered unto in a very generous
manner. Both of the Confederate Homes have been remembered
with valuable contributions of various kinds.

Acting upon the suggestion of Mrs. Wilson, our President, I
have had made a U. D. C. flag, indicating thereon by gold stars
the number of Chapters of U. D. C. and members thereof in the
District, also by silver stars the number of Chapters of C. of C.
and members. The flag is now in possession of this Convention,
to be used as it may direct.

All communications of importance concering the work coming
into my hands during the year, have been referred to the several
Chapters for their consideration.

The financial report, showing disbursements for the year, is
as follows: Total .amount $4,426.16, composed of the items
enumerated below:

With this report, my work as Director of the Fourteenth District

United Daughters of the Confederacy 111

ceases. Whatever progress has been made during the two years
of my Directorship, is due in a large degree to the splendid
response of the several Chapters to every request I have made. I
would be remiss in my duty if I did not take this occasion to
express my sincere appreciation for this splendd cooperation.

Respectfully submitted,

Mrs. Charles S. Wallace,
Director Fourteenth District.

District No. 15

The tenth annual meeting of District No. 15, Halifax County,
was delightfully entertained by the Scotland Neck Chapter, April
20, 1922, at Madry's Opera House. The meeting was opened by
the reading of the ritual by the Director. All five Chapters of the
District were represented, also two Children's Chapters. Our State
President, Mrs. Wilson, gave an outline of the work to be done.
Mrs. John L. Bridgers, State Historian, gave an interesting his-
torical talk and begged for more historical papers. Mrs. N. L.
Steadman of Halifax Chapter was elected District Director. A
rising vote of thanks and appreciation was extended to the retiring
Director. At the close of the meeting, a beautiful and bountiful
luncheon was served at the Womack Hotel. The Director led the
District in expressing by a rising vote of thanks the appreciation
of all present. The District accepted the invitation to meet in
Halifax next April.

The membership of the District is 245, including 25 new mem-
bers. All dues, taxes, and sinking funds are paid. Four dinners
were given to Veterans. Enfield Chapter also entertained the
World War Veterans. Sick Daughters and Veterans were visited,
and money, trays, flowers, and fruits were taken to them. Weldon
Chapter aided a transient Veteran by giving lodging, food, shoes
and money. Several large boxes of canned goods, candy, and
eight rugs were sent to Confederate Homes. Enfield Chapter aided
two sick 'Sons of Veterans, and is supporting an Armenian orphan
for the third year, $60. Four dozen iron markers were placed on
Veterans' graves at Enfield. Enfield Chapter presented to the
graded school our State flag and a photograph of M. F. Maury. A
medal was presented to a pupil of this school for the best essay
on "Maury." For second best essay, a $2.50 gold piece was given.
The District sent garments to the Near East Relief. Three World

Director, through personal efforts, raised $35 for her Chapter. She
reorganized the Cary Whitaker Camp, U. C. V., and made the
money to pay all back dues; also assisted two widows in applying
for pensions. She went before the County Commissioners and
caused an appropriation to be made to defray all expenses of those
Veterans who wished to attend the Reunion at Richmond. Twenty-
five Veterans attended, and $290 was used. Scotland Neck Chapter
presented "Southern Women in War Times" to the Public Library.

District No. 16

The annual meeting of the Sixteenth District, United Daughters
of the Confederacy, was held in the Ahoskie High School Audito-
rium, May 17, 1922.

Despite most unfavorable weather, the majority of the 10 Chap-
ters comprising this District were represented, and with the added
forces of a representative number of the townspeople we were a
goodly congregation to join in the opening prayer by Mr. Barker,
a Methodist minister. "The Star Spangled Banner" was then
heartily sung by all present.

Mrs. Joe Vann, President of the local Chapter, very graciously
welcomed us in the name of her organization, embodying a pleasing
recognition of the old Veterans present, about six in number. Mr.
Williams, an attorney, followed Mrs. Vann in an address of wel-

United Daughters of the Confederacy 113

come in behalf of the town. He made most flattering remarks to
us women regarding our efforts in keeping alive the history of the
Confederacy, made by these brave old soldiers, referring to the
women as a vital part of the Confederacy. Mrs. F. M. Dunstan of
the Frank Byrd Chapter, U. D. C, of Windsor, responded to these
addresses in a very appropriate and pleasing manner.

Mrs. Gatling, our District Leader, added a few remarks, compli-
menting Ahoskie's hospitality and apparent interest in our meeting.
She urged each Chapter to complete its own history, to be turned
over to the State Historian, Mrs. John L. Bridgers of Tarboro,
who requested that this be done.

Minutes and roll-call followed, to which Ahoskie, Aulander, Eliza-
beth City, Merry Hill, Winton and Windsor responded with a cred-
itable delegation.

Mrs. Stanley Leary, of the Ahoskie Chapter, sang very sweetly
for us at this interval. Mrs. Wilson, our State President, was to
have talked to us at this time, but unavoidable circumstances had
prevented her coming. She sent us an inspiring message, however,
which Mrs. Gatling read. She urged us to atttend the State Con-
vention to be held in Wilmington in October. This particular
meeting, she explained, would be of unusual interest, it being the
Silver Anniversary at the home of the Mother of the State organiza-
tion, Mrs. Parsley.

Mrs. Bridger of Winton then introduced our State Historian, Mrs.
J. L. Bridgers of Tarboro, who won our hearts by her gentle, retir-
ing manner and her enthusiasm and interest in her work. She
told of North Carolina's honor in winning the most prizes offered
for the various objects, and of her visit to the Text-Books Com-
mittee, and to Dr. Brooks, State Superintendent of Public Instruc-
tion, begging their cooperation in excluding Muzzy's History from
the State schools, this particular publication being so false and
so unjust to the South.

This was followed by several vocal selections by Miss Wynne,
a guest of Mrs. Dunstan, accompanied by Mr. Kenneth Raynor of
Ahoskie.

Committees on nomination of officers, place and time of next
meeting and resolutions were then apppointed.

After singing "Dixie," adjournment for luncheon was taken. This
proved a most delightful affair. Aside from the many good things
prepared for us, it was a real feast of love and goodfellowship in
which all mingled and were happy.

The afternoon session opened at 2:30. "America" was sung and
the usual routine business was begun. Several interesting addresses
8

114 Minutes of the Twenty-sixth Annual Convention

followed, Miss Early of Aulander making such an interesting talk
that it was moved and carried to have it sent to the News and
Observer for publication.

Mrs. R. P. Holt, State Director of War Records, then spoke to
us with her usual simple earnestness. In presenting the causes
so dear to her she mentioned many object worthy of notice,
asking for donations to monuments, etc. Her tribute to Major
Cunningham for his services and untiring love for the old soldiers
and Daughters was one of real personal love and knowledge. She
alluded to him as the father of The Confederate Veteran, which
paper she wanted to see in every Southern home, U. D. C. Library,
and public school in the State.

Mrs. Holt urged us on to victory with our Lee Memorial Fund,
Educational work, and organization of Children's Chapters. Here
again North Carolina leads, having more than any other State.
Her most earnest appeal was for the registration of our World
War soldiers. This can never be done unless each Chapter will
get a record of the number of soldiers from its county. Elizabeth
City leads in this work in this District, some of the Chapters not
having responded to the call at all. She begged our interest in
the circulation of "Women in War Times" and in pictures of Lee,
Jackson, Davis and others of like fame, these to be hung in our
schools. She deplored the fact that so few such pictures were
seen, and stated that the Atlanta Division was having one made
of Jefferson Davis to be sent to the Convention city from year to
year and placed directly behind the President-General's chair.

The speaker pointed to the necessity of filling in the report
blanks sent us, as that was the only means of determining our
voting strength and getting the desired information. Mrs. Holt
closed her remarks by asking us to support Mrs. B. A. Blenner of
Richmond for our next National Corresponding Secretary. This
we did, knowing Mrs. Holt was in a position to give us reliable
judgment on the subject.

Mrs. Dunstan was then asked to report to us concerning the
Junior Work, which she did with enthusiasm. Having been the
Leader of the Thomas Garrett Chapter of Bertie County she is
naturally especially interested in this work.

Election of officers followed. Mrs. R. C. Bridger of Winton was
made Leader. This office was very graciously accepted by her;
and in a few well-chosen remarks she pledged herself ready and
willing to serve the Sixteenth Division most faithfully. Mrs. Joe
Vann of Ahoskie was elected Secretary.

United Daughters of the Confederacy 115

Mrs. C. J. Rher of Windsor then read fitting resolutions on
entertainment, expressing our appreciation for the many courte-
sies extended to us.

Creditable reports from all the Chapters in this District were
read, showing good, live interest in the work at hand.

Aulander invited the next District meeting. The invitation was
held open, however, for further discussion.

Mrs. Vann then invited the entire delegation, in the name of
her Chapter, to Ahoskie's little up-to-date theatre, where a special
picture was being run for us. After appropriate music, the meet-
ing adjourned.

Miss Barker of Ahoskie served us faithfully as our pianist, for
which she was voted thanks.

Mrs. E. L. Gatling, Leader,
Mrs. H. M. Bell, Secretary.

On Christmas, Anson Chapter will be 23 years old and it makes

celebrating our sacred days, when we honor our greatest leaders
and through them the men they led and loved. We are very proud
of our Frank Bennett, Jr., Chapter, especially in that they have
just organized out of their ranks the Laura Little Chapter of
young ladies from eighteen to twenty-five years of age. This Chap-
ter is named for one whose gentle soul burned with love for our
Veterans, and whose frail fingers never ceased to work for them.
I can not refrain from again calling to your attention the fact
that many Veterans of another war, some of them our own sons,
are sick and far from their own people, in the hospitals in Western
North Carolina, and I hope that each of our Chapters will not
fail in love and interest for these men whose bodies are broken
for us.

174 Minutes of the Twenty-sixth Annual Convention

3Jn Jfflemortam

At the hour of noon, Thursday, October 12, the business of the
Convention was suspended for the Memorial exercises, with Mrs. E.
F. Reid, Chaplain, presiding. Mrs. Reid presented the members of
the Memorial Committee: Mrs. I. W. Paison, Charlotte; Mrs.
L. T. Townsend, Lumberton, and Mrs. R. W. Hicks, Wilmington.
Dr. A. D. P. Gilmore, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of
Wilmington, conducted the devotional part of the service, and in a
few well chosen words paid a beautiful tribute to the Daughters.
Mrs. E. K. Bryant gave a beautiful vocal selection — a song of trium-
phant faith and victory over death. Mrs. Reid then gave a short
Memorial address, which follows:

"We do not wish to make of this a sad occasion, but rather one of
rejoicing — for, do we not rejoice in the memory of the lives and
character of these who have only gone on before us? We wish
that we had time to repeat the words of loving praise which came
with the lists of names. Do we fully appreciate the heritage of a
life well spent and the wonderful heritage we have in the lives of
so many of the men and women of our beloved Confederacy? Dr.
Vardell, President of Flora McDonald College, recently paid a tri-
bute to these noble women in whose heritage we rejoice, which
inspired some feeling comment by 'A Daughter' in the public
press, which was so appropriate that I will repeat it in part:

" 'We might search the annals of history for ages past, but we
would find no heroines more worthy the name than those dear wo-
men of the Confederacy.

" 'There was no premium placed on patriotism in those days,
and all the money in the world could not have purchased the
principles for which they fought and died.

" 'Lots of them were left bewildered, with nothing but the cold
earth on which they were standing and no knowledge as to how
to till it, but with clean hands and a conscience void of offense,
they worked; they prayed and they sang, thank God, they sang,
and the echo of those songs, and the spirit that prompted them are
ringing yet in the hearts of all true-hearted Southerners.'

"And so we sorrow with those who have been bereft of their loved
ones, but we rejoice with them in their many consolations."

The roll was then called of departed Daughters of the North Car-
olina Division who were called home during the past year, 42 iu
number.

The following Memorials were read:

Memorial to Mrs. William Dorsey Pender by Mrs. J. L. Bridgers.

Memorial to Mrs. Charlotte Bennett Dunlop by Mrs. R. E. Little.

United Daughters of the Confederacy 175

Mrs. Culthbert Martin paid a beautiful tribute to her life-long
friend and "chum," Gen. James I. Metts.

Mrs. Reid then read a beautiful and worthy eulogy of our beloved
honorary member, Mrs. H. L. Riggins, written and sent by the Sec-
retary of the James R. Gordon Chapter, Winston-Salem.

At this point in the service a dozen or more beautiful little girls
dressed in white, marched in, bearing exquisite floral designs and
wreaths of evergreen and grouped themselves in front of the
rostrum.

It was explained that these beautiful designs with many others
like them, had been sent by Chapters all over the State, to be
placed on the graves of Miss Hettie James, Hon. George Davis,
Gen. James I. Metts, Mrs. W. M. Parsley and Mr. Cyril Long, only
son of our beloved Treasurer, Mrs. L. F. Long of Newton.

Mrs. A. M. Waddell was then presented and in her own charm-
ing way paid loving tribute to her friend and our "mother," Mrs.
Wm. Parsley, with the audience standing as mute testimony of
their love and reverence for this saintly woman.

MEMORIAL TO GEN. JAMES I. METTS

The death of Maj. Gen. James I. Metts, Commander-in-Chief of
the North Carolina Veterans, has given grief to us, the Daughters
of the Confederacy, and brought mourning to the State.

From boyhood until death he devoted himself to the service of
the Confederate Veterans. In perfect health, with a physique that
betokened many more years of usefulness, this hero of the Civil
War met with an accident at Wilmington, and expired October
18, 1921.

He had hardly reached his nineteenth birthday when, in re-
sponse to the call of North Carolina, he enlisted as a private in
the Rifle Guards, a company formed by his associates at his home
in Wilmington, and with it on April 15th, 1861, he went to occupy
Fort Caswell.

At one time this Wilmington company had on its rolls more
than 100 men, ranging from 16 to 22 years of age, with only one
married man among them. This devoted band is known as Co.
I, 18th Regiment, North Carolina Troops.

The fine carriage of Private Metts led to his being given charge
of the Regimental Colors, which he carried until, on the reorganiz-
ticular distinction in the Seven Days Battle before Richmond,
ation a year later, he enlisted in the Third Regiment, under Col.
Gaston Meares. His bravery and fine capacity won for him par-

176 Minutes of the Twenty-sixth Annual Convention

In every battle it was the same. In the assault at Culp's Hill,
on the evening of the second day at Gettysburg, he lea his men close
up to the Federal breastworks, and there received a wound in his
left lung. His sufferings were intense and his condition was so hope-
less that his recovery was perhaps a miraculous intervention of
Providence, preserving his life for future usefulness.

After a year of cruel suffering at Johnson's Island, he was se-
lected as one of the most enfeebled of the prisoners for exchange;
and on rejoining his command, served in Cox's Brigade, Grimes
Division, and on the staff of General Grimes, always gaining
honors, until at length he bowed his head in sorrow at Appomattox.

Returning home, he was an examplar in peace as he had been
in war. The hero on the battlefield now became the patriot in
civil life. Throughout the years he set an example of patient in-
dustry, of cheerful performance of the duties of citizenship, and
of benevolence, that was not without its effect in his community.
In a spirit of fine manhood, he met and overcame adversity and
won success in life, enjoying the esteem, admiration and affection
of all his associates.

While we embalm his memory as a hero and patriot, ever devoted
to his Confederate associates and worthy of the high honors ac-
corded him, we shall long remember his uniform courtesy and
cheerfulness, his bright eyes, his attractive manner, and his en-
gaging pensonality. In his demise the State has lost one of the
brightest ornaments of her citizenship.

The grey line is almost extinguished. The few survivors are
as sentinels standing out on the skyline of a glorious past, and of
these few no one bearing the name of a Confederate Veteran more
fully exemplified the character and more perfectly expressed the
chivalry of our beloved cause than Gen. James Isaac Metts. It
seems that the protecting hand of Providence spared him to a
ripe old age in order that the present generation might profit by
the example of one who so fully represented the best traditions of
a struggle whose heroic efforts and deathless valor challenged the
wonder and admiration of the world. Thus, he has been a link
between the past and the present, diffusing a spirit of love for the
old regime, in nowise incompatible with loyalty to the present and
hope for the future. His life was grounded on the rock of prin-
ciple. To expediency he was a stranger, to deceit a foe, to candor
a champion, to truth a defender, to friendship the essence of
fidelity. He has held his last reunion on earth, and has now
joined his old comrades in a spiritual reunion where there will be
no more parting.

MEMORIAL TO HENRY LOGAN RIGGINS

Into eternal rest has passed one of the most loyal friends of the
North Carolina Division of the U. D. C. — Mr. Henry Logan Riggins,
husband of the beloved President of the James B. Gordon Chapter
of Winston-Salem. Eleven years ago, when the State Conven-
tion met in the Twin City. Mr. Riggins was elected an honorary
member of the State organization, and no Daughter ever loved
the cause more truly.

In historic old Henrico County, Virginia, not far from the cap-
ital of the Confederacy, Mr. Riggins was born in 1861, and there
seems to have been breathed into his very soul a devotion to the
"Lost Cause." Among his earliest recollections was the sound of
cannon as the armies fought over the bloody battle-ground of his
native State.

Mr. Riggins came to Winston-Salem as a young man, and was
actively identified with the city in every phase of its growth. In
business, in civic improvement, in its church life and in its char-
ities, he was always a leading spirit.

He married into one of the oldest and most prominent families
when he chose for his life's companion Mary Gorrell. For thirty-
two years they lived in this blessed union, making a home that
it was a privilege to enter. Even the casual caller was impressed
with the love, cheer, and friendliness that pervaded its sacred at-
mosphere.

Mr. Riggins was always an inspiration to the local Chapter. The
Children of the Confederacy adored him, the Daughters turned to
him for help and advice, while the Veterans recognized him as
their friend and benefactor.

When Winston-Salem was hostess to the N. C. Division t
second time, Mr. Riggins was in failing health, but the occasion
seemed to renew his strength and he was present at some session
nearly every day. When it was announced that a scholarship a
the State Normal had been given in his name, "The Henry L
Riggins Scholarship," the prolonged applause made one realize it
was "honor to whom honor was due."

For several years before the end came, Mr. Riggins was almost an
invalid; but he bore his affliction with the same noble spirit that
characterized his whole life — never a word of complaint — always
a thought for others — he seemed to grow just a little nearer
Heaven each day.

So much could be said of the life of this man, but the words
of Edgar A. Guest's poem "Looking Back" — one which he loved —
12

178 Minutes of the Twenty-sixth Annual Convention

seem so fittingly to portray his life's aims that they shall speak for
him.

"I might have been rich if I'd wanted the gold instead of the
friendships I've made;

I might have had fame if I'd sought for renown in the hours
when I purposely played;

Now I'm standing today on the far edge of life, and I'm just look-
ing backward to see

What I've done with the years and the days that were mine, and
all that has happened to me.

"I haven't built much of a fortune to leave to those who shall

carry my name,
And nothing I've done shall entitle me now to a place on the

tablets of fame.
But I've loved the great sky and its spaces of blue; I've lived

with the birds and the trees;
I've turned from the splendor of silver and gold to share in such

pleasures as these.

"I've given my time to the children who came, together we've

romped and we've played;
And I wouldn't exchange the glad hours spent witn them for the

money that I might have made.
I chose to be known and be loved by the few, and was deaf to the

plaudits of men;
And I'd make the same choice should the chance come to me to

live my life over again.

"I've lived with my friends and I've shared in their joys, known

sorrows with all of its tears;
I have harvested much from my acres of life, though some say

I've squandered my years.
For much that is fine has been mine to enjoy, and I think I have

lived to my best,
And I have no regret, as I'm nearing the end, for the gold that

I might have possessed."

MEMORIAL TO MRS. WILLIAM DORSEY PENDER

On Monday, July 3, 1922, at the home of her son, Stephen Lee
Pender, in historic old Frederickburg, Mrs. Prances Sheppard
Pender, widow of Gen. William Dorsey Pender, passed peacefully
away, in the eighty-third year of her age — 59 years after Gen. Pen-
der was killed at Gettysburg.

She came to Tarboro in the early 60's, a fair young bride, and
there are many who can recall her bright, sparkling manner and
charming courtesy, which endeared her to all who came under
the spell of her presence. They remember her joy and happiness
as a wife and mother until the war came and snatched from her
side the beloved husband and father.

Left desolate and alone, with three splendid sons to rear, two
of whom preceded her to the grave, she became one of the State's
foremost educators. A scholar, a linguist, a talented musician, her
training and influence and wonderful personality have added charm
and culture to many homes, and her memory has lingered like the
fragrance of roses.

In Calvary churchyard, by the side of her illustrious husband,
she sleeps "waiting for the General Resurrection at the last day."

Mrs. J. L. Bridgers.

MEMORIAL TO MRS. JOSEPH I. DUNLAP
In Wadesboro, N. C, August 20, 1922, there passed into the next
life Mrs. Joseph I. Dunlap, (Charlotte Bennett), one of whom it
may truly be said that all who knew her "rise up and called her
blessed." Sister of Capt. Frank Bennett, a Confederate soldier
of the finest type, she went through Sherman's raid, her father's
splendid plantation being directly in the Federal march across An-
son County. Mrs. Dunlap has left an account of those three un-
speakable days, during which the vandals burned, and stole every-
thing movable, and killed every animal on the plantation. Going
to the next plantation, they shot on his own doorstep, the owner
James C. Bennett, an original Union man. God forgive them, we
say, after nearly sixty years.

But may these fearful wrongs continue to inspire us as they
did the friend we lovingly honor today — to courage, unshaken in
every relation of life and to absolute devotion and fidelity to
those eternal principles on which the Confederacy was founded
and for which so many precious souls gave their all.

Mrs. R. E. Bennett.

A MEMORIAL TO MRS. JANE DE ROSSIT

Just as the earth was bringing forth its increase and the bell of
the church she loved so well was calling her children to come for
instructions and benedictions, our friend and associate passed from
this mortal life to life eternal.

What a fitting time for one who, when the last summons came,
to answer, "Here, Lord, now let thy servant depart in peace."

O Death! sharp be thy- wounds, but sweet the medicines be

That long-captive souls from weary thralldom flee.

Rest in peace, our faithful friend and companion in the Daugh-
ters of the Confederacy!

General, must be paid to the State Treasurer before votes can be
counted in Convention. These taxes must be paid before Septem-
ber 1, or votes are lost. State taxes are now 30 cents and General

mittees or to private individuals. State for what causes.

accompany application.

All Chapter elections must be held at regular or called meetings
in October. This is very important, to get correct list in Minutes,
both General and State.

Do not fail to notify the President of your hostess Chapter by
September 15 how many delegates will attend the Convention.

When desiring information regarding the Soldier's Home, write
to Miss Martha Haywood, Raleigh, N. C. When desiring informa-

16 Minutes of the Twenty -seventh Annual Convention

PRESIDENT'S REPORT

To the North Carolina Division, United Daughters of the Confed-
eracy, in Convention Assembled:

A year ago, when we met in Wilmington, the home of our beloved
Mrs. Parsley, the Mother of our Division, you conferred upon me
the highest honor that was yours to give, a sacred trust, which I
accepted with gratitude and humility, promising but one thing — that
I would give you my best.

Today, we gather together to review the work of the year and
to plan for still greater things yet to be accomplished. Honors carry
with them obligations. Unless we discharge the obligations, the
honors become a reproach. Daughters, I have ever had that thought
before me and have tried in every way to do what would be best for
our Division, even though, in some instances, it was hard.

With these thoughts, your President submits to you her part in
the work we are doing together, for without you my work would
have been worthless. It is to each Daughter who has given of her
time and her means that praise is due for the work accomplished
this year.

In declaring this Convention formally opened, I want every Daugh-
ter to feel that this is "her Convention." Please be in your places
during all the business sessions, for when you least expect, some
vital question may come up for discussion. The program has been
changed some from what we usually have, so that we may give
the whole of Historical Evening to our beloved President-General
and Major Charles M. Stedman, the grand old man of the Con-
federacy. The prizes will be awarded right after the report of the
office under which the prize is offered.

Last November, when, as a private, I attended the General Con-
vention, I felt so proud of our Division and the wonderful work
done by our President, Mrs. Thos. W. Wilson, I there made myself
a promise that I would endeavor to maintain the high standard of
my predecessors. You will have to be the judge of how that promise
has been kept.

Mrs. Wilson, your representative and my friend, showed me every
courtesy possible. On Monday evening I was her guest at the
President's banquet and I cannot express my appreciation, for that
evening has meant so much to me in my work this year. She had
the honor of casting 200 votes in the election, which was the greatest
number cast. I know that makes you feel thankful that you had
registered your Chapter, paid your per capita taxes and sent your
credentials in on time.

United Daughters of the Confederacy 17

On Historical Evening, you would have felt great pride in your
Division, for you won the Raines Banner for the best Historical
Report; Youree Prize for the greatest number of World War Rec-
ords; Roberts and Arkansas Medals for best papers; Mrs. John
C. Brown Peace Prize for best paper on Peace by a pupil in the
High School; Alexander Allen Faris Loving Cup for the greatest
number of new members between the ages of 18 to 25, Second Hunt
Prize for the second greatest number of new members. Our Children
of the Confederacy also won honors, for our Director won the Bettie
Marriott Whitehead Prize for registering the greatest number of
new members and the Julia Jackson Chapter of Charlotte won the
Ricks Banner for the best report.

We now have registered 9,775 U. D. C. members with their papers
all filed with State and General Registrars. I have this year signed
510 Certificates, but, of course, many of these were for old mem-
bers.

We have 2,978 children registered in our State, and, Daughters,
these children will be the ones who will soon be called to fill our
places and carry on our work. Are you doing your part to help
prepare them for that work?

We lead in the C. of C. work, but we still have many chapters
that have not organized a C. of C. chapter. Daughters, you do not
realize the importance of this, I feel sure. Stop and consider the
little you would know about the truths of the days of the Sixties
if you had not heard them from the lips of the dear old women and
grand old men who lived during those trying days. The children
of the next generation will not have that privilege, they will not
know of the high ideals and standards, the hardships and sacrifices,
unless we teach them, and where else, except in the C. of C. chap-
ters, can we reach them.

One of our greatest needs is an enlarged membership. Of course,
we want those of mature years, but as I joined really before I could
lawfully, I realize, that the young women feel that they have little
part in the chapters made up of women so much older, and feel
embarrassed by their presence. The young women realize that the
older women are so much more experienced and, therefore, they
either don't join at all, or join and don't attend the meetings. If
it is possible, take the advice of our President-General and our for-
mer President-General, Miss Poppenheim, and organize a chapter
of young women in your town; where that is not possible, then
try to interest them in forming a circle in your chapter and work
to themselves, meeting with your chapter once or twice a year, but
if they do that, be sure that they are always represented on your

18 Minutes of the Twenty -seventh Annual Convention

Executive Board and have their share of delegates when they are
elected for both State and General Conventions. We need the young
people and they will enjoy the work if we can only get them inter-
ested.

Remember, you and I have pledged to carry on the good name
and fame of the Confederacy wherever and whenever the subject is
mentioned. We need the aid of all women in our State who are
eligible and to this end I ask that we put on a membership drive
all over our Division the first week in November. Think what it
would mean to double our membership during this next year. We
stand right at the top in the General Organization, but with a
doubled membership we could go over the top and could do so much
more for the different causes.

REGISTRATION

We have gone almost to the top in registration and I wish every
member of our Division could visit the home of our State Registrar
and see our steel files and go over the work with her. She has
worked by day and by night, and if those few chapters that have not
filed the records of their chapters with both the State and General
Registrars, will only do so, we will soon have a perfect Division
as far as registration is concerned, and I cannot see how we can
ever have any more trouble over it. Mrs. Long has brought one
of the sections of her file with her and will tell you more about
it later. Daughters, she has had all of the records made and filed,
of those chapters that are dead, so now I know you will not want
to be the one that is keeping our Division from being able to re-
port a perfect registration; so when you go home, go right to
work and send the three copies of every member's record that has
belonged to your chapter since its organization.

CONFEDERATE WOMEN AND VETERANS

This is to me our most sacred work and our first duty. I do
not need to tell you the necessity for your help in this. You all
know your duty and responsibility to those old heroes and heroines
who are still among us and who need aid and comfort in their
sunset days. I know this work will be well done if you will just
stop and think. I have been so delighted recently, for I know of one
chapter that has taken the list of Veterans in their county and di-
vided it among the circles in the chapter and they are caring for and
helping these dear old men to pass their last days more pleasantly.
Now this has not taken the place of their charges at the Home in
Raleigh and they have gone yet further, they have adopted them
a Daughter from the members of our family in Fayetteville.

United Daughters of the Confederacy 19

The children too are thinking of the old heroes, for I have heard
that the Julia Jackson Chapter C. of C, have spent this entire
year working for the veterans and suffering humanity, having sent
around eight hundred dollars ($800.00).

I can never express my appreciation to you for the way you have
responded to my appeal to adopt our "Veterans in the Home. All
I want to add is — remember them at all times, in season and out
of season — they are our special charge.

I cannot leave the subject of our Veterans without referring to
those who are always on their job. Mr. and Mrs. Wiggs, our own
Mrs. H. M. London, and Miss Martha Haywood. To these, we owe
a debt of gratitude, for I have this year been permitted to visit
the Home fourteen times, at all hours of the day, and once at night,
and I have always found things running along smoothly, the men
as happy as could be under the circumstances, and when talking
to them, have had them to mention each of these friends and say
what they mean to the Home and to them.

I have not had the pleasure of visiting our dear old ladies as
often as I would wish, but when with them in April, I was delighted
to find how happy they were, and in most cases, how they appre-
ciate the Home and what the Daughters are doing for them. It
was right pathetic the way they would follow Mrs. Smith around,
calling her "Mother." Don't think you must wait to do something
big for these old people, for since they are separated from home
and loved ones any little attention means much to them. Just
think how long the days must be to those who have to sit and
think only of the days that have gone. Go to see them, write them
and remember them in many little ways, for the time is short in
which we have to serve them.

I am so glad our Division has caught a wider vision than some
and are willing, not only to think of those who are with us, but
of those men and women of the Sixties who in earlier life went
to the North and West to make their homes and now in the evening
tide of life are all alone and need aid. This year we have given
to the Janet Randolph Relief Fund $175.00. If your Chapter did
not contribute to that fund this year remember next year to do so,
for these old people have a right to look to the Daughters to care
for them the few years they have with us.

EDUCATION

Education is the outstanding point in our star of service. This
part of our work represents the future of our organization, as
well as the future of the South, in history and civilization, for it
is only through our educational foundations that the truth and

20 Minutes of the Twenty-seventh Annual Convention

grandeur behind our patriotism can become a part of the nation's
history.

I know the work for education is the most constructive in any
organization We intend to build so that the U. D. C. may live
as long as our great country exists. We are a patriotic society.
We are a part of America's history, and we must ever be devoted to
our record and ready to defend it whenever it is assailed. In no
other way can this be done, but by educating the children of Ameri-
ca under the guidance of the hands of men and women who are
loyal to our Southland.

It is conceded that no greater honor can be paid the heroes of the
Sixties than to provide education for their children and their
children's children, for education is the only foundation that cannot
be taken from them.

Daughters of North Carolina, that has been our weakest spot,
but I am so glad that we are waking up to our duty. Last year,
we made a forward step, when we accepted the recommendation of
our retiring second Vice-President and voted for every chapter to
pay towards education 25c per member.

The past year we had seven girls at N. C. C. W., a boy at Trinity,
a boy at the University and a girl at Flora MacDonald, besides, those
several chapters have reported scholarships. I do trust that many
more scholarships may be added during this next year. I have
been made so happy by our second Vice-President, who has worked
so hard for her department and has been able to make some girls
happy this year, whom it would have been impossible for us to
have helped but for her untiring labors.

We have this year several boys who are being helped by the Gen-
eral Organization, but our Chairman of Education will tell you
all about our work. I wish each of you would order yourself a
copy of the General Minutes and study the report of the educational
committee and then you would realize what a wonderful work is
being done by our Organization.

MEMORIALS

I know every Daughter in our Division is happy over the com-
pletion of the Stars and Bars Memorial. This work can now be
stricken from our calendar. I am proud to tell you that it is all
paid for and now stands on the Court House Square in Louisburg
to tell the coming generation that our Division appreciates the fact
that it was a North Carolinian who designed the First Flag of the
Confederacy. I will leave it for the Committee to tell you of the
unveiling, costs, etc., but I must thank the Daughters who attended
the unveiling and the ladies of Louisburg, who so beautifully ar-

United Daughters of the Confederacy 21

ranged for the exercises and served such a splendid dinner to all
visitors.

In the afternoon, with a party of about twenty daughters from my
Chapter and Mr. J. J. Allen, the brother of Orren Randolph Smith,
I left Louisburg and went by the grave of Anne Carter Lee. Daugh-
ters of North Carolina, that spot is a disgrace to our Division, to
our State. The road for over three miles is dreadful and then the
last quarter of a mile you have to walk, and when you get to the
grave-yard you have to push through weeds and brush to get into
the enclosure; then across to one corner, to get to her grave. Twice
in the past year it has been my pleasure to go to this sacred spot
and place on this forsaken little grave a laurel wreath with our
colors and the flag that her father followed. On my first visit, Mr.
Holt and I spent much time in pulling up the weeds and trying
to get the grave clear so that the flowers carried could be placed
thereon. Daughters, this is a question we must not put aside, some-
thing must be done. Only two things can be done, either we must
get the written promise of those who are near enough, to visit that
sacred spot and see that it is attended to, or we must see to it that
her ashes are returned to Lexington, where sleep all the rest of
her family and where a niche has been left for her in the mau-
soleum. I know that when General Lee visited this spot, which was
nearly sixty years ago, he said he wanted her to remain in that
lovely spot under the pines, but things have changed since then.
At that time that was the center of the social life in this State —
now it is a wilderness; then the graveyard was kept up, as the
places of our dead should be; now that the family have all moved
away it is sadly neglected. (Daughters, I hate to say these things,
for that family and mine are closely connected and the ones left I
know well, but these things are so with all old family graveyards,
where the land has passed into other hands). In the last few years
the father of General Lee has been moved and placed with the rest
of the family, as well as several of the members of the family who
were buried at their old home "Ravensworth." Now, Daughters, I
want you to think about this and decide what is best to do, for
we cannot afford to allow our Division and our State to remain
in a position to be severely criticized, which is the position we
have been in for many years.

We, of this State, were beginning to feel discouraged about
getting the Jefferson Davis Highway routed through our State, but
I am glad this time that it was darkest just before day, for our Com-
mittee has been notified by the Highway Commission the route,
and now we must get our markers and mark it before some one
else can claim it and give it another name. This route connects

22 Minutes of the Twenty-seventh Annual Convention

with the Virginia and South Carolina links of the Jefferson Davis
Highway. The Committee will go more into details and tell you
what they want us to do.

Our next greatest achievement along this line is our contribution
to the Jefferson Davis Monument. When in Birmingham, the
Divisions were asked to make pledges to help complete this monu-
ment to our only President. Your President, Mrs. Wilson, and your
incoming President decided that our Division would want to do
its very best for this work, which should be completed before our
Veterans, who were the ones to start it, should all be gone, or too
feeble to attend the unveiling, so she pledged for us $1,000. Some
felt that we would never raise that amount, but with a prayer
and faith in you I made a promise that if the Division did not
raise it I would see that it was paid and our Division not disgraced
by an unpaid pledge. You have proven your devotion and loyalty,
for today I am so happy to be able to report to you that we have
not only paid our pledge, but this year have paid over $1,850 toward
this monument, and I cannot thank you enough for your loyalty.

Now I will leave it to your Director to tell you more definitely
what you, as Chapters, have done, and then I want our Director-
General to tell us of the work of the other Divisions and how we
compare with them. We pledged $25 to help complete the Cunning-
ham Memorial Scholarship and have sent $50. Daughters, I am
so glad, for we can never do too much for education, or in memory
of Col. Cunningham, who did so much for OUR CAUSE.

One of the greatest causes we are asked to work for is our "Lee
Memorial Chapel." I am sorry that as a Division we have fallen
short in our contributions, but now that we have been able to
finish up some of the objects for which we have been working for
so long I trust that next year we can do big things for this Memorial.

WORLD WAR RECORDS

How sad my heart is when I have to tell you that only seventeen
chapters have sent me any records of our boys who are lineal de-
scendants of Confederate Veterans. North Carolina stands ahead
of any State, so far, in filing these records. I beg of each of you
to go home and don't leave a single boy who is eligible alone until
you have his record.

SCRAPBOOK

Mrs. Bunn, our Custodian, has been at work and I trust will be
here to tell you what she has accomplished. Her desire is to place
in one book pictures of every Confederate Monument in our State
and I hope, along with them, a short history of the unveiling.

United Daughters of the Confederacy 23

PRIZES

In the history of our Division, we have this year the greatest list
of prizes we have ever had and I trust they have been an inspiration
to many of you and that the study of the lives of our own heroes
will make us love our cause and our State more.

DISTRICT MEETINGS

My great desire was to visit every District in our Division this
year, but that was not to be, as my health was such that my physi-
cians would not allow it.

On April 4th I attended the meeting of the 13th District, which
was held in Tarboro. It was a day to make one feel proud that
she was a member of an organization that remembers its Heroes,
although their Cause was not victorious. In the afternoon the
monument to that great general, William Dorsey Pender, which had
been erected at his grave by the Chapter bearing his name, was
unveiled with appropriate exercises. Col. Fred Olds, who is always
the friend of the Daughters, was there and brought with him the
five flags carried by the Regiments under General Pender. These
flags carried by Tarboro girls, led the procession from the Church,
where the meeting was held, to the Episcopal Church yard, where
sleep so many of our Heroes of the Sixties. It was at this time
that as your representative, I placed a laurel wreath upon General
Pender's grave in your name.

It was my privilege to attend the meeting of the 10th District in
Cary. At this meeting the importance of our Division taking over
the care of the grounds around the Monument on the battlefield
of Bentonville, was brought to our attention by Mrs. Sanders of
Smithfield.

On my way to Red Springs I had the pleasure of spending the
day with our loyal Daughters at Fayetteville and visiting OUR
HOME, leaving in the afternoon for the meeting of the 11th District
in Red Springs. The principal point stressed was the continuance
of the Scholarship at Flora MacDonald College.

The same week I attended the meetings of the 14th and 15th Dis-
tricts; the 15th in Halifax, where so much history has been writ-
ten, and there the Director was wise in giving the Children of the
Confederacy a part in the exercises, as did the Director of the 14th
District in La Grange on Saturday of the same week. Despite the
heavy downpour, the attendance at La Grange was large and it
was truly an inspiration to hear the wonderful reports from the
Chapters. Mrs. Felix Harvey, the Director, gave us wise counsel,
Mrs. Wallace, our Director of C. of C, made a talk on her work

24 Minutes of the Twenty -seventh Annual Convention

and Mrs. Bickett made a strong plea for the completion of our Stars
and Bars Memorial.

On May 8th, I spent the day with the 12th District in Burgaw,
and as the Director was detained at home on account of illness, we
held an informal meeting, at which time all lines of our work were
discussed, and I feel that it was a day well spent, for it has brought
forth much good. It was a disappointment that Mrs. Marshall Wil-
liams was not with us that day, but through the kindness of friends
from Goldsboro I was given the privilege of returning in their car
and stopping at the home of Mrs. Williams and having a few
minutes in which to ask about her committee and what they were
doing.

In a few days, my greatest disappointment of the year was to
come, for I had everything planned to visit Districts 3, 5, 6 and 8
during the next week, but God ruled otherwise, for on the after-
noon of May 12th I was taken suddenly ill and had to forego that
pleasure.

Again, in July my plans were to be with District 7 and again the
hand of God kept me away, for He, at that time, called to Him
my Aunt and your Sister Daughter.

I want to express to each of you the pleasure it gave me to be with
the different Districts and Chapters in their meetings, and in the
homes of so many of the Daughters of our Division. I can never
express in words my appreciation of the many courtesies shown me,
but as I said last fall, I am not a speaker, but in my devotion to our
work I hope to prove my appreciation.

THE CONFEDERATE VETERAN

Daughters, that is our only communication with our General Of-
ficers and I do wish I could report that every Chapter in our Di-
vision subscribed to it, for the use of its President and Historian.
To me, in all of my U. D. C. work, it has been my right hand, for
through its pages I keep up with the work of our own organization
and all other Confederate organizations — besides from its pages I
have collected many historical facts I could never have found else-
where. The Veterans all enjoy reading and being read to from its
pages and I want to pass on to you what one Chapter did last Christ-
mas. They placed a year's subscription to the name of every veteran
in their county, twenty-nine in all. Think how many hours these
men have been able to pass reading of the days of their young
lives. In all this year only 65 subscriptions have passed through
my office, I do hope others have subscribed.

United Daughters of the Confederacy 25

OUR BOOK

Have you honored your Mother and Grandmother by placing copies
of OUR BOOK in your homes, where the children of your family
can, in the coming years, read from the pens of the "Women of the
Sixties" what they did and suffered for our Southland. I am afraid
you are far behind this year in this work. Your Director has done
her part, but can you say that you have done yours? Your Direc-
tor will soon tell you which chapters have responded to her calls.

OFFICE WORK

In the early part of the year I prepared a calendar, hoping it
would be of help to you until your Minutes were received. One
of these was mailed to every President, C. of C. Leader, Historian,
all members of the Executive Board, Chairmen of Committees.

I have sent 39 telegrams, 27 phone calls, written 1,802 letters, 15
cards and mailed out over 1,000 circular letters to the Chapters.

Many invitations have come to me as your President and I feel
that you should know of them, for they were given me, not per-
sonally, but to honor you.

In April General A. H. Boyden, Commander of the Second Brigade
of North Carolina Division, U. C. V. honored our Division by ex-
tending to your President an invitation to be Matron for his Brigade
at the Reunion in New Orleans. I cannot tell you the keen dis-
appointment it was to me not to be able to accept that invitation,
but other engagements had been made that made it impossible.

In August, General William A. Smith, Commander in Chief of the
N. C. Division, U. C. V., invited me to bring greetings from our
Organization to the Veterans at their Reunion in Winston-Salem
the first of September. I looked forward to being with them with
so much pleasure and had written several that I would meet them
there, but again, sickness prevented, and on Saturday before, I wrote
General Smith expressing my regrets and sending greetings, then
I wired him during the re-union, our Greetings and an invitation
to the Veterans to be with us on the day of the unveiling of our
Stars and Bars Memorial.

From the Woman's Organizations of Charlotte an invitation was
extended to me as your President to represent you at a luncheon
on September 28th, during the "Made-in-Carolina-Exposition."

My first official appearance was as your representative on Armis-
tice Day in Nashville, when a tablet was unveiled to the boys of
Nash County, who gave their lives for humanity's sake during
the World War.

26 Minutes of the Twenty-seventh Annual Convention

IN MEMORIAM

This year many of our loyal Daughters have been transplanted
from our midst and while we will miss them we must ever be ready
to carry on their work, as well as our own. To every home and
Chapter where sorrow has come, I wish to express my sympathy.

I feel, in the passing of Col. Grimes, our Division and OUR
CAUSE has lost a friend whom we will always miss. When God
called him from us I sent a floral design in your name and again
when death entered the home of our Registrar, Mrs. Long, and
called her father, who was a loyal veteran and a physician who had
ministered to many during his long life of service, it was in your
name that a wreath was sent.

As soon as I saw the announcement of the death of General
Booth, I wired his daughter the sympathy of the North Carolina
Division and again, when our Nation lost its Chief Executive, I
sent a message of sympathy from our Division to Mrs. Harding.

CONCLUSION

In the reports of your officers and Chairmen of the Committees,
you will learn of the details of our work. To them must all the
praise be given.

For all that you have done to advance our work this year, your
President thanks you. For the many errors and things she has
left undone, she asks your generous consideration.

With a love for the work that fills my heart, this report is,
Respectfully submitted,

Tempe Whitehead Holt.
(Mrs. R. Philip Holt)

President.

Mrs. Henry A. London expressed strong appreciation of
Mrs. Holt's report and her official services. The Convention
rose to give Mrs. Holt a vote of thanks.

Reports were heard from the First Vice-President, Mrs.
Sprunt, the Second Vice-President, Mrs. Newell, and the
Third Vice-President, Mrs. Rodman ; all were accepted.

REPORT OF FIRST VICE-PRESIDENT
It is a pleasure to report 192 Application Blanks sent by request;
165 letters answered. This shows a marked increase in the owner-
ship of our Badges and may we not hope that in 1924 every Daugh-
ter of the Confederacy will own and wear her Badge.

United Daughters of the Confederacy 27

You will remember that a prize was offered by the Cape Fear
Chapter to the Chapter ordering the greatest number of badges
during the year and it gives me pleasure to present this prize to the
King's Mountain Chapter, they having ordered 17 badges. Total
number of badges ordered, 72.

Respectfully submitted,

Mrs. T. E. Sprunt,
First Vice-President

REPORT OF SECOND VICE-PRESIDENT

Madam President and Daughters :

It gives me pleasure to bring the following report of a strenuous
year spent in loving service. These activities began immediately
after my election as Chairman of Education, and were greatly fa-
cilitated by the clear, concise, systematic records of Mrs. Gorrell.
It has been my constant endeavor to follow her splendid example
and, in some degree measure up to the high standard set by her.

The correspondence connected with the office has been interesting,
but very voluminous. A careful canvass of all Chapters has elicited
this information, 63 Chapters reporting: $1,140.25 to the State Edu-
cational Fund, $135.75 to the General Educational Fund; books
valued at $1,210.25 have been presented to schools and libraries, also
pictures amounting to $326.10, and prizes amounting to $263; 11
medals costing $98 have been given; flags placed in schools amount-
ing to $64.05. Besides this the Chapter at Morehead City has
placed a State flag in every school, white and colored, in the county,
and the Chapter at Fayetteville has given 15 flags to county schools.
A single Chapter (Brevard) gave Confederate books amounting to
$447 to the Library of that place.

Thirteen Chapter scholarships costing $831.00 were reported by
these Chapters and two District scholarships, one valued at $60,
the other value not stated.

From the 63 Chapter reports submitted I have selected the two
which are most comprehensive and which might well serve as
models for all ambitious Chapters:

Asheville

State Education $ 87.25

Chapter has given six scholarships, valued at 550.00

Chapter has given twelve prizes, valued at 30.00

28 Minutes of the Twenty-seventh Annual Convention

Rocky Mount — Bethel Heroes

Educational $ 42.50

General Education Fund 3.00

Prizes, seven, valued at 70.00

Medals, two, valued at 20.00

Books to schools, twelve 16.50

Books to libraries, 169 362.00

Pictures in schools, one 3.00

Did any of you ever try to decide between two or three, or a dozen
deserving girls or boys begging for assistance in securing an edu-
cation? If you want a man size job, just attempt it.

Well, with the able assistance of the other members of the com-
mittee the following scholarships have been awarded. Sue Irvin
began her education with a U. D. C. Scholarship, was interrupted
by manifold duties from which she is now released, and is com-
pleting her studies this year by the gift of the William Parsley
scholarship.

Herman Jones is at the University of Virginia on a general
scholarship. He was placed there by your committee this year.
W. W. Zachary, Brevard, N. C, and W. C. Beck, High Point, N. C,
have received help from the Hero Fund this year. W. H. Beck
holds a scholarship at Trinity College valued at $60.

Ruth Henley, of Durham, was awarded the Jefferson Davis essay
scholarship, her paper being judged the best of the 28 papers sub-
mitted.

When I took charge of the work there was only one scholarship
vacant. Applications came pouring in from all parts of the State.
Distressed beyond measure at the urgency of some of these ap-
peals I went to Greensboro to discuss the situation with the Acting
President. We decided that there was only one way out of the
difficulty, and that was to secure more scholarships. I came home
and went to work. When the urgency of the case was made
known, the following friends came to the rescue:

Mr. A. B. Andrews Raleigh

Mrs. Ed. Woodard Wilson

Mrs. Ed. S. Hughes Texas

Mr. J. H. VanNess, Jr Charlotte

Mr. J. H. Little Charlotte

Mr. J. M. Harry Charlotte

Mr. R. E. Simpson Charlotte

Judge Heriot Clarkson Charlotte

Mr. C. W. Tillett, Jr Charlotte

United Daughters of the Confederacy 29

Mrs. LuTelle Williams Winston

Manly's Battery C. of C Raleigh

Mrs. J. A. Yarbrough Charlotte

Mrs. L. B. Newell Charlotte

Miss Rebecca Cameron Hillsboro

Mr. Tom West Raleigh

Mr. J. R. VanNess Charlotte

Mr. Tom Hayes Charlotte

Mr. Tom Griffith Charlotte

Mr. N. B. Heath Charlotte

Belmont, N. C, C. of C Belmont

Mrs. S. J. McAden Charlotte

Mrs. C. C. Cromwell Cuba and Charlotte

Total $390.00

Fifty dollars of this money was secured for me by the courtesy
of Clarence Kuester, of Charlotte Chamber of Commerce.

Mrs. Little, your State Treasurer, has this amount in hand, and
three girls, Nannie Earl, of Wilson, Kate Hall, of Asheville, and
Elizabeth Whitesides, Rutherfordton, are at the North Carolina
College for Women.

Ladies, my earnest request is, take up this work and complete
the education of these girls, as well as the others we have there,
making the total number of girls at N. C. C. W., ten instead of
seven. Is not this a goal worth working for?

Respectfully submitted,

Mrs. L. B. Newell, Chairman,
Mrs. Ed. Woodard,
Mrs. R. P. Holt.

REPORT OP THIRD VICE-PRESIDENT

Madam President and Daughters of the Confederacy:

My news items to the Veteran for the year have been very limited,
as I was requested not to send social news, but only items that
would be a help and inspiration to work for the other Chapters.
All the State Chapters have been very kind in reporting their en-
tertainments, meetings, etc., which I have forwarded to the following
papers, The Winston Sentinel, Asheville Citizen, Greensboro Daily
News, News and Observer and The Charlotte Observer. The News
and Observer has been especially courteous in replying to all com-
munications. The other papers have not replied to my communica-

30 Minutes of the Twenty-seventh Annual Convention

tions, and as I do not subscribe to these papers do not know if they
were published.
I regret very much that I have such an uninteresting report.

Respectfully,

Mrs. Wiley C. Rodman,
Third Vice-President.

Mrs. Holt proposed a rising vote of thanks for the splendid
work done by Second Vice-President, Mrs. Newell.

There was no report from the Recording Secretary, this
officer being absent.

Mrs. J. B. Goode gave report of Corresponding Secretary
which was accepted.

REPORT OF CORRESPONDING SECRETARY

Madam President and Daughters of the Confederacy:

While holding the office of Corresponding Secretary, I have per-
formed all duties as promptly and accurately as possible.

On Armistice Day I was a member of the committee welcoming
the Confederate Veterans at the unveiling of the Memorial to the
boys of Nash county who gave their lives during the World War.
I had the pleasure of attending the April meeting of District 13, held
in Tarboro. Was present at the unveiling of the Stars and Bars
Memorial in Louisburg, N. C, after which I made a pilgrimage
to the grave of Anne Carter Lee, in Warren county.

I have written two hundred and sixty letters, sent two telegrams
and made three long distance calls.

Respectfully submitted,

(Mrs. J. B.) Elaine Goode,
Corresponding Secretary.

Mrs. Bland, Chairman of the Auditing Committee, stated
that as the books were not in possession of the Committee,
previous to the Convention on account of illness of the Treas-
urer, she had no report. The books, however, will be audited
as soon as possible.

The Historian, Mrs. P. S. Rothrock, read her report, which
was accepted.

United Daughters of the Confederacy 31

REPORT OP HISTORIAN

Dear Madam President and Daughters :

A year ago when you, much to my surprise, made me your State
Historian, I felt that I knew very little about the duties of this
office, but I went to work, and at my solicitation most of the
Historical prizes which were offered last year were continued for
this, and, in addition, I received fifteen new prizes for the His-
torical work this year.

Early in January I mailed out to every chapter in the State our
U. D. C. Calendar containing the prize list. I did not have the names
of the new officers, so I sent them to the President, Historian, or
anyone I knew in the chapter. I hope they were all received.

We have had twelve contests for the Historical prizes and I have
received a large collection of fine essays, historical papers, and clip-
pings, which will be a valuable addition to the Historical collection
of our Division. I have forwarded to our General Historian nine
essays, competing for general prizes, two others received but not
eligible. Chief Justice Walter Clark sent me three of his attrac-
tive little books "North Carolina at Gettysburg." I also received
a copy of Miss Mildred Rutherford's last book "The South Must
Have Her Rightful Place in History."

Early in January a request came to me from a member of the
General Joseph Wheeler Chapter of Wagoner, Oklahoma, to send
her an unusual and interesting program on North Carolina, for
her February meeting. She requested State flags, songs, toasts and
information about the Mecklenburg Treaty. I sent her all the ma-
terial I could gather, and later she wrote me that she had a fine
North Carolina meeting, and sent me a beautiful program with the
Confederate and North Carolina flags in colors on the back.

In March Mrs. Fannie Ransom Williams sent twenty essays on
General Robert E. Lee, written by the High School pupils of New-
ton, and asked me to judge them, this I did with the help of two
members of our Chapter.

The Historical report blanks were sent out from the President's
office the last of August but have not all been returned, therefore,
I can not give a full report of the work from all the chapters, but
I wish to mention some which have made fine progress:

Cape Fear, Wilmington; Bethel Heroes, Rocky Mount; Winnie
Davis, Pittsboro; J. E. B. Stuart, Fayetteville ; Haywood Chapter,
Waynesville, and the Tarboro Chapter erected a monument to
William Dorsey Pender.

Mrs. Eloise Burkheimer, of Wilmington, reports that she has
completed her pageant titled "The Rise and Fall of the Confed-

34 Minutes of the Twenty-seventh Annual Convention

eracy" in two books covering fifteen years of historical life in the
South.

Mrs. J. H. Anderson, Fayetteville, has sent in more essays writ-
ten by herself, competing for the different prizes of the State and
general organization than any other woman in the State.

Mrs. J. W. Ferguson, Historian for Haywood Chapter, sent in a
large scrap book filled with reminiscences, historical data, clippings
and illustrations. She also sent a large box 22 inches square and
four inches deep, filled with historical clippings and illustrations
and enough to make several scrap-books. In addition to this she
sent other valuable papers and information.

Mrs. A. J. Ellis, of Raleigh, sent me a very interesting little book,
"The Last Flag of Truce," written by Dallas T. Ward, of Franklinton,
North Carolina, also some reminiscences and other historical papers.

Mrs. L. E. Fisher, President Asheville Chapter, sent twenty-five
essays on Confederate subjects written by the high school pupils
of her county.

I have had splendid cooperation and response, from some, if
not all, of the chapters throughout the State, and our historical
prospect for the coming year is fine. I have been notified that
several of the prizes will be continued and some new ones added.
Since the Wilmington Convention, I have written over six hundred
letters and answered all communications and requests.
Respectfully submitted,

Mrs. P. S. Rothrock,

State Historian.

Mrs. Keid, of Lenoir, moved that the essay written by
Mrs. Anderson on the "North Carolina Women of the Ws"
be published in the daily papers. This motion was carried.

Mrs. Marshall Williams requested that essay written by
Mrs. Burkheimer on North Carolina's Part at Gettysburg
also be published. The Historian stated that historical re-
ports were not received from all Chapters. Neither were
essays written competing for all prizes.

The President, Mrs. Holt, suggested that letters be writ-
ten to Honorary Presidents and the Honorary Historian.
Mrs. Faison made this as a motion which was passed.

United Daughters of the Confederacy 35

Mrs. Cabell Smith, ex-president of the Virginia Division
and her mother, Mrs. O. C. Smith, Hon. President, of Vir-
ginia, were extended the courtesies of the floor.

Mrs. Henry A. London moved that a night letter be sent
to General Carr, expressing the thanks of the Division for
his splendid service rendered the Soldiers' Home and urging
that he not resign his office. This motion was carried.

Mrs. Lowe, of Lexington, moved that message of love be
sent to Veteran Frank C. Robbins, of Lexington. This mo-
tion was also carried.

Mrs. Wallace, Director of Children's Chapters, made her
report, which was accepted with a rising vote of thanks.

REPORT OP THE WORK OF CHILDREN'S CHAPTER

Madam President and Daughters:

'Tis hard to realize that another year has passed away, and we
are again assembled in annual convention. It gives me much
pleasure to greet you in behalf of nearly three thousand children
of the Confederacy of North Carolina, and to bring to you their love
and good wishes.

We come now to review the work that has been done during the
year, to make plans for the future and to rejuvenate our spirits
through social intercourse one with another. I am happy for this
another opportunity to look into the faces of my friends, and to
tell them that the year has been a very pleasant one to me; the
work has been rather exacting at times and has required a large
portion of my time, but with it all, I am fully repaid for every
effort made.

Life is so intense these latter days, one barely has time to do
well all that has to be done, therefore, in scrutinizing the years
work, I find some things that are rather disappointing; many things
however, are encouraging, and with it all I am glad to say the work
is in fine condition.

The office of State Director for the past two years has given me
opportunity to know many of the leaders, and their acquaintance
and fellowship has been exceedingly pleasant. Many of them have
been very responsive, and their cooperation has added greatly
to whatever success that has been attained.

36 Minutes of the Twenty-seventh Annual Convention

We set two years ago, for our GOAL in membership at this time
3,000, but we are very sorry to report we have not quite reached
the mark. When I was inducted into the office of State Director of
the Children's Work, the number on the roll at that time was
1,662. We have had an increase this year of 620 members, which
with the increase reported last year, makes the total enrollment to
date 2,994.

The work of the Division during the two years of my administra-
tion, has gone forward, as naturally it should along with all the
other developments of our great State. We have had an increase
in membership of 1,332; an increase of contributions in actual cash
as well as benevolences, and I believe an increase desire in the
heart of the workers, to see the cause go forward generally. I want
however, to express personally, my sincere regret, that much more
was not accomplished and my earnest hope for greater develop-
ments and accomplishments during the years which are immedi-
ately ahead of us.

Special credit for new members this year is due the Belle Wilfong
Chapter, Newton, Mrs. Glenn Long, leader; the Annie K. Kyle
Chapter, Fayetteville, Mrs. E. R. MacKethan, leader; the Robert
E. Lee Chapter, Asheville, Miss Thelma Smathers, leader. Quite a
number of the other chapters have had some increase, but more
than 50 per cent of the chapters of the Division, have not reported
a single new member this year; this is perhaps, the most discour-
aging part of the work; lack of effort at this point accounts for
our membership being so small. I firmly believe if all the leaders
would make the proper effort, and could have the cooperation of
the mothers of the children eligible for membership, the roll of the
Division would double the present number in a very short time.

There were seven subjects presented to the various chapters this
year, upon which essays were requested to be written; thirty-seven
papers have been submitted on these subjects, which to me, indi-
cates a marked interest in the historical work, and I think should be
encouraged by continuing the prizes each year. I hope this will
be done.

Three new chapters have been organized this year:

Isabel Morrison Hill Belmont, N. C.

Matt W. Ransom Littleton, N. C.

Transylvania Volunteers Brevard, N. C.

Many of the older chapters have not reported, notwithstanding
my urgent and repeated requests to do so. There has been issued
three duplicate certificates.

United Daughters of the Confederacy 37

In my report last year, I mentioned a number of chapters that had
been organized, but not registered; on account of not being able
to secure leaders, these same chapters have not yet been registered.
Tis a lamentable fact, that there is plenty of material all around us,
but it seems almost impossible to secure leaders who are in-
terested sufficiently in the cause to carry on the work.

The Children of the Confederacy have raised during the year in
cash $2,601.38. The various chapters have contributed liberally to
Monument Funds, Historical Work and to Schools, with books,
pictures and flags. They have provided badges for the Veterans
attending both the State and General Reunions, and have contributed
clothing, confectioneries, fruits, etc., to the Veterans, their wives
and widows, also to the Confederate Soldiers' Home at Raleigh, and
the Confederate Womans' Home at Fayetteville and have ministered
to the sick in a large way, by taking them trays of appetizing food,
flowers and magazines. Two hundred pairs of socks and several
boxes of clothing were sent to the New Bern Fire-Sufferers last win-
ter.

I wish to avail myself of this opportunity to express to all my
associates and co-workers, my sincere and abiding appreciations for
their uniform kindness and courtesy to me personally and as State
Director, during the two years of my office; this has helped to make
the work very pleasant. It has been a work of love and pleasure
all the way, and I shall look back upon these two years closing
with this convention, as one of the brightest spots in my life's
work.

Respectfully submitted,

Mrs. Chas. S. Wallace,

State Director.

Mrs. J. Dolph Long, Registrar, made her report which
was accepted by a rising vote of thanks.

REGISTRAR'S REPORT

Madam President and Daughters of the Confederacy:

The Wilmington Convention authorized the Division to purchase
steel filing cases for the permanent care of Registered Membership
Applications. This was done as soon as possible, and in order to
appreciate the magnitude of your Registrar's work for the past
year you must have a mental picture of four sections of steel filing
cases; every registered Chapter alphabetically arranged in binders,
with members filed numerically. It has been my task to file in this

38 Minutes of the Twenty -seventh Annual Convention

modern system, 111 Chapters, with a total membership of 9,775.

My ambition has been to complete this old registration, and I
regret exceedingly to report that we are still a little way from
the goal. Substantial progress, however, has been made and I have
to report the complete registration this year of the following Chap-
ters:

Burgaw Smithfield

Chapel Hill Warrenton

Charlotte Warsaw

Dunn Waynesville

Elizabeth City Winston-Salem

Gatesville Pittsboro

Laurinburg Mt. Airy

Leaksville-Spray Mt. Olive

Lillington Reidsville

Scotland Neck Newton

Total 20

By authority vested in me at the 1922 Convention, I have had
typed and have registered the following dead Chapters:

Clayton Murfreesboro

Ellerbe Middleton

Wm. A. Closs, Henderson Merry Hill

Holly Springs Norwood

Jackson Raleigh — D. H. Hill

Kenansville Red Springs — Flora MacDonald

Kittrell Rose Hill

Linden Williamston

Total 16

Making a total of 2,327 registrations of old members this year.
Total active and dead Chapters, registered and filed, being 111
Chapters with the following 13 still incomplete:

Dillsboro Marion

Edenton Oxford

Enfield Salisbury

Paison Wadesboro

Henderson Windsor

Hendersonville Winton
Hertford

The completion of the registration of Chapters is, of all our
undertakings, nearest to my heart, and I earnestly appeal to

United Daughters of the Confederacy 39

the officers of the Thirteen who have yet to complete this task, to
do it at once that all records may be preserved for future genera-
tions.

Now as to the activities of the Chapter for the past year, along
new registration lines, I have to make the following report based
on meagre and for the most part incomplete reports from the
Chapters.

42 Minutes of the Twenty-seventh Annual Convention

There are a total of 51 Demits, 46 being transfers from one Chap-
ter to another, and 5 from other states. One new Chapter, Fincn-
Bissette, of Middlesex, has been organized.

A very pleasant part of your Registrar's work is the presentation
of prizes to those who have by earnest effort deserved them. The
J. E. B. Stuart Chapter, of Fayetteville, wins the prize for the
greatest number of new members registered, having gained 81. Al-
britton-Sugg Chapter, of Hookerton, wins the prize for the greatest
percentage of increase in membership, showing an increase of 161.7
per cent. The prize offered to the District showing the greatest
percentage of increase in membership during the year has been won
by District No. 11, comprising the following Chapters: Fayette-
ville, Red Springs, Lumberton, Raeford, Lillington, Dunn, St. Pauls,
Whiteville and Fairmont, Mrs. Nat Townsend, leader, showing an
increase of 23.7 per cent. To Asheville Chapter, Asheville, goes
the prize for registering the most members between the ages of
18 and 25, having eleven, total number registered in the State of
that age being 84.

In concluding my report I wish to thank the registrars for their
co-operation and to urge upon you all to study this work earnestly,
endeavoring to do it accurately, bearing in mind, "anything worth
doing at all is worth doing well."

Respectfully submitted,

Mrs. J. Dolph Long,
Registrar.

Report from Committee on Gettysburg Monument was read
by Chairman, Mrs. Marshall Williams:

REPORT GETTYSBURG MONUMENT COMMITTEE

As authorized by the Wilmington Convention, your chairman se-
lected designs for the Gettysburg markers. Both Charlotte and
Wilmington submitted attractive designs price ranging around
$3,000.

Your chairman presented these to the Greensboro convention.

The convention decided so insignificant amount of money for
so great heroism on the part of North Carolina soldiers, must be
supplemented and the convention unanimously voted $2,500 or more
to be raised this year and for appeals to be made over the State to
increase the amount until a worthy monument could be erected.

Your chairman felt greatly cheered over the enthusiasm mani-
fested. Respectfully,

Mrs. Marshall Williams,
Chairman

United Daughters of the Confederacy 43

Mrs. Williams put the question as to whether we should
erect a $3,000 monument or raise funds for a more imposing
monument. Mrs. Henry A. London and Mrs. Faison spoke
heartily in favor of the latter and the motion was made and
carried. Mrs. Fisher, of Asheville, proposed that the matter
of the Gettysburg monument be made a special order of busi-
ness at 11 o'clock on Friday morning when pledges should
be taken from the floor.

The report of the Recorder of Crosses, also report of Pur-
chasing Committee for Soldiers Home, were read by Mrs.
H. M. London. Both reports were accepted.

FIKST DAY — Afternoon Session

The Afternoon Session was called to order by the Presi-
dent.

The report of Committee on Rules of Order was read by
Mrs. Marshall Williams. This report was adopted.

The report of the Executive Board was read by Mrs. Goode
and approved.

REPORT OF EXECUTIVE BOARD

The Executive Board of the North Carolina Division United
Daughters of the Confederacy met in the Assembly room of the
0. Henry Hotel Wednesday morning, October 3.

The meeting was called to order by the President, Mrs. Holt.

The resignation of the Recording Secretary, Miss Mary Hender-
son, was read and accepted and Miss Hadley Woodard appointed
to fill the vacancy.

The bill for the minutes for 1922 was submitted and ordered
paid.

Mrs. Wallace moved that a telegram be sent Mrs. F. E. Ross,
Riverside, Cal., asking her which Chapter in North Carolina had
ordered the greatest number of badges, motion carried.

Communications were read from one Chapter, which was competing
for a prize but had failed to comply with rules, asking that this
matter be brought before the Executive Board. The Board de-
cided to adhere strictly to conditions which governed the awarding
of this prize.

A suggestion came from the Credentials Committee to allow the
Auditor to have the Chapter reports to take home and check books
by same. Mrs. Long, of Graham, moved to allow the Chairman
of Auditing Committee this privilege.

The following recommendation was presented:

The Exectuive Board of the North Carolina Division United
number of scholarships at the N. C. C. W. from six to nine."
Respectfully submitted,

Mrs. J. B. Goode,
Corresponding Secretary.

46 Minutes of the Twenty-seventh Annual Convention

The recommendation that the scholarships at N. C. C. W.
be increased from 6 to 9 was carried.

In the absence of Mrs. Frank Wilson the report of Com-
mittee on Textbooks was given by Mrs. Goode and accepted.

REPORT OF TEXT BOOK COMMITTEE

My Dear Madam President and Daughters :

For the past year I have done no real work as Chairman of your
Text-book Committee other than try to keep my eyes open to any
criticisms in regard to text-books used in our schools, where fairness
and justice are concerned.

Am happy to say I have heard no word of disparagement on any
of the books. I have used Hill's North Carolina History, and
Thompson's United States Histories in the class room and find
only true-hearted, whole-souled sympathy for our men who wore
the grey.

The pupils in our public schools love and honor all our Southern
heroes, especially those of the sixties, and much of this is due to
the just manner in which our authors are treating the subjects.

Again let me entreat you, Daughters, keep your eyes upon the
books used in your classrooms and the manner in which they are
presented to pupils.

Yours most cordially,

Mrs. Frank L. Wilson,

Chairman.

Mrs. Hunter Smith read the report from the Confederate
Woman's Home. This report was accepted, and Mrs. Mar-
shall Williams moved that a Committee be appointed to go
before the next Legislature to ask for an appropriation for
an annex to this Home. This motion was carried.

REPORT OF THE CONFEDERATE WOMAN'S HOME

Madam President and Daughters:

I bring you greetings from the ladies of the Home, and they wish
me to say that it is impossible for a home of old ladies to be hap-
pier, and receive better attention than they do, for they have a

United Daughters of the Confederacy 47

joy in their Superintendent, Mrs. Bailey Beaman, a woman of
culture and refinement, and I feel a God-given gift to the Home.

The ladies of the Home and the management are very grateful
to the Chapters of the State for their thoughtfulness and con-
sideration at all times.

They are especially grateful to the Children's Chapter, of Fay-
etteville, for the great interest and sunshine that they have brought
into their lives this year. They have furnished a large cooler and
kept it supplied with ice water during the summer, and have given
them a number of treats and entertainments.

The Home is filled and we haven't a vacant room. The house-
hold consists of thirty-five, with nineteen applications on the wait-
ing list. We are greatly in need of more rooms to supply the re-
quests for admission, some of them being most pathetic.

We had a well filled pantry in the fall, to the credit of the Chap-
ters of the State, and we do hope they will be as generous to us in
the coming months, for our pantry is depleted at this time.

Our family is much happier when occupied, so let me ask you
to send scraps of silk, wool, crochet-cotton, etc., that you may
have, which could be used in fancy work which many of them de-
light in.

Religious services are held at the Home every Sunday afternoon
by leaders from the respective churches of the City, with sweet
music which they enjoy very much.

After supper they all assemble in the living-room for evening
prayer.

The visits of the Chapters from the nearby towns have been
much appreciated, and the fruits, etc., they bring is much enjoyed.

A very pleasant surprise was given your Chairman and Mr.
George Rose, Chairman of the Board of Directors, last Christmas
when we were presented with beautiful knit slumber robes, by the
ladies of the Home, as they expressed it "stitches of love in ap-
preciation of service."

I would ask that the Chapters and individuals who furnished
rooms in the Home replenish them with scrim curtains, two
yards long finished, one pair of curtains to the room, with the
exception of corner rooms which have two windows.

I wish to thank my two Assistant Chairmen, Mrs. Battle and
Mrs. Fisher, for their faithful work in their respective districts.

48 Minutes of the Twenty-seventh Annual Convention

The ladies of the Home felt much honored in having our State

President visit them in the Spring. She has always been a most

loyal supporter of the Home.

There have been during the year three deaths and six admissions.

With unbounding gratitude to the ever faithful Chapters of the

State for their generosity,

Respectfully submitted,

Mbs. Hunteb G. Smith,

Chairman.

REPORT OF THE STATIONERY COMMITTEE
Madam President and Daughters in Convention Assembled:

I bring you greetings from the Stationery Committee and beg to
submit the following report:

Officers and Chairmen were furnished stationery needed for their
work, all orders being given prompt attention.

The Committee after getting prices from a number of firms found
the Ideal Print Shop, Rocky Mount, the most reasonable in charges.
In some instances there has been a delay but I hope such will not
happen again.

Wishing you every success during this week and regretting my
inability to attend.

Respectfully submitted,

(Mrs. T. A.) Belle Davis Cooper,

Chairman.

Mrs. Mendenhall, of High Point, read report of Commit-
tee on Jefferson Davis Highway.

REPORT JEFFERSON DAVIS HIGHWAY COMMITTEE
Madam President and Daughters:

After many letters, telegrams and personal interviews, it gives
me much pleasure to announce that the State Highway Commission
have designated the Jefferson Davis Highway through North Car-
olina, and have given their permission for us to place markers along
this highway. The highway designated comes into North Caro-
lina from Virginia near Oxford and passes through Oxford, Dur-
ham, Chapel Hill, Pittsboro, Sanford, Southern Pines, Rockingham,
and into South Carolina near Cheraw.
4

50 Minutes of the Twenty-seventh Annual Convention

I wrote to the chapters in the towns through which the highway
passes asking if it would be possible for them to put up markers
before Convention, but have only heard from Pittsboro and Rock-
ingham.

In Birmingham our Mrs. Wilson pledged the small amount of
fifty dollars for North Carolina to the general fund. I have written
to every chapter in the State asking for a small donation. I do
not know whether this amount has been raised or not, but if it
has not I am sure that it can be easily raised on the Convention
floor. We surely will not let North Carolina fall down on so small
an amount.

Respectfully submitted,

(Mrs. 0. E.) Ligette Brown Mendenhall.

Chairman.

Mrs. Edgar Morrison, of Tarboro, spoke in behalf of this
Highway, stating that the Highway must be marked now if
the Daughters of the Confederacy would have the honor of
marking it. Mrs. Henry A. London moved that we accept re-
port of Committee and mark the Highway immediately. It
was moved and seconded that the temporary markers bear
the name of Jefferson Davis instead of the initials "J. D."
This was carried.

Mrs. T. J. Gold read report from Committee on Stars
and Bars Memorial. This report was accepted.

REPORT OF CHAIRMAN OF STARS AND BARS MEMORIAL
COMMITTEE

Madam President and Daughters of the N. C. Division of the U. D. C:

I bring my report today with great pride and a deep sense of
gratitude to all of you who helped in the wonderful work of erect-
ing and unveiling our memorial to Orren Randolph Smith. Since
having been appointed chairman of the Stars and Bars Memorial
Committee, I have endeavored to place before every chapter in the
State the importance of the work.

Letters have been sent by me to all chapters asking for donations
and most of you responded liberally.

On the 19th of September Louisburg had a great celebration

this year benefited the following ones:

Little Pauline McCullum, Kannapolis.

Mrs. W. H. Dodd, Proctorville.

Mr. W. 0. Hart, Southport.

Respectfully submitted,

Mrs. Peter A. Gorrell.

Mrs. Morrison moved and it was carried that the Con-
vention send a telegram to Mrs. Gorrell, Chairman of this

Mrs. F. M. Williams read the report on the Lee Memorial
and urged that this work be given prominent place next
year.

REPORT OF THE LEE MEMORIAL COMMITTEE

We are sorry to report that this year the contributions to this
great fund falls far short of our hopes, but we realize that the
completion of work, earlier begun, has called for the more con-
centrated efforts of our Division. Early in the year letters were
sent to every member of the Committee asking her earnest coopera-
tion in the work, and the State divided among them. Circular let-
ters were later sent to each chapter president, asking the matter

United Daughters of the Confederacy 53

be laid before you. Last year it was your Chairman's pleasure
to report the largest amount raised by any Division, $620. This
year our contributions fall to $200.

Every chapter has lately received from the Washington and
Lee University its Bulletin, carrying pictures of the old Lee Chapel,
and the beautiful new one the Daughters of the Confederacy have
pledged themselves to build, and towards which work in Birming-
ham they voted to bend their entire efforts, assuming no new
work until the Lee Chapel was completed. Now that the architects
have combined the old and new Chapels placing that hallowed
mausoleum in the center, no human being can fail to wish to see
the tomb of Lee, the most sacred shrine in the South, completed as
soon as possible.

Daughters of the North Carolina Division, your committee makes
another strenuous appeal to you to bend all your efforts to this
great work. Our old veterans and women must be looked after,
our educational fund and free bed at Sanatorium kept up, but
let Lee Chapel be our great work after these. Let every delegate
here present go home determined the Old North State shall carry
off the banner as standing at the top in contributions. Let the
month of January principally be dedicated to Lee. Let every school
in this great State be appealed to for aid. Children love the
name of Lee. Let each be asked for a contribution, no matter
how small. Let us roll up our contributions and work as never
before to honor our world renowned hero.

The contributions for this year will be found in the Treasurer's
report, and will not be printed in this report.
Respectfully submitted,

(Mrs. P. M.) Francis R. Williams.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON NORTH CAROLINA ROOM IN
CONFEDERATE MUSEUM AT RICHMOND, VA.

Madam President and Daughters of the Confederacy:

It is a great pleasure to bring to the North Carolina Division
of the United Daughters of the Confederacy greetings from the
Confederate Memorial Literary Society, and to give a brief report
of the North Carolina Room in the Confederate Museum to the
support of which you have so generously contributed. Several
months ago I visited Richmond and had the pleasure of again see-
ing our most interesting Room. While there our Vice-Regent,
Mrs. J. Allison Hodges, who is always so alert to everything per-
taining to the good of the Room, had a number of ladies, all North
Carolinians, to meet in her home to discuss ways and means for
raising the remaining $1,000 to complete our Endowment fund of
$5,000. We found after receiving the appropriation of $516.67 from
the Legislature that we were still owing $600.00. The ladies present
promised to take care of $200.00 if I could raise the other by ap-
pealing once again to our loyal U. D. C. I immediately sent out
circular letters with very little response. One of my committee
suggested my writing to each district leader which I did and
found that to be the key to the situation. A number of chapters
contributed. Mrs. Hodges now reports $4,591.63 received from
chapters.

Jacksie Thrash Morrison of presenting the minutes of the N. C.
Division bound in Confederate grey of her term of office, 1921-1922,
to the N. C. Room.

It has been impossible to write all the letters by hand so I had
a great many of them typed.

Received from Miss Lena Smith, of Scotland Neck, a most in-
teresting article written by herself of the Building of the Con-
federate Ram, Albemarle; also a paper from Miss Smith written
by her kinsman, Capt. Whit H. Anthony, giving an account of the
Cavalry Fight at Rucklands, Virginia. A booklet "Lee at Lexing-
ton" written by Mr. E. R. Preston, of Charlotte. It has been my
pleasure to contribute stenographer's fee and postage to the work
of the North Carolina Room.

Thanking you for your untiring loyalty and support in this sacred
cause.

Respectfully submitted,

Mrs. Latta C. Johnston,

Regent.

United Daughters of the Confederacy 57

REPORT OF N. C. ROOM IN CONFEDERATE MUSEUM
Madam President and Daughters of the Confederacy:

Last October I attended your Convention in Wilmington, and I
can assure you it was a great pleasure to be in my native State
again and meet so many old friends, and this charming city by
the sea fully sustained her reputation for hospitality and right
royally were we entertained during our three days' visit.

The reports I heard of the work being done by the North Caro-
lina Division were most interesting and inspiring, and it was with
great pride that I reported some of your accomplishments upon
my return to Richmond.

Mrs. Latta Johnston, our efficient regent for the North Carolina
room in the Museum, has given you a report of the work, so I will
only mention two interesting gifts that we have recently received,
and append the financial statement.

Your ex-president, Mrs. Fanny Ransom Williams, gave me the
Commission of her father, General Robert Ransom, to be placed
in the Museum. We consider this one of our most valuable pos-
sessions, and greatly appreciate her being willing to place it in
our room.

Recently, Mr. Thomas Sydnor, of Richmond, while locating some
artesian wells on the grounds of the Williamson Cotton Mills at
Graham, N. C, found a cast iron plate in the shape of a shield
bearing the raised inscription, "Confederate States Navy Yard,
1861-1865." This is supposed to have come from battery of boilers
placed in the mill shortly after the war, having been brought from
Charlotte where the Navy Yard was, after being moved from Nor-
folk. This is a most interesting relic and we appreciate Mr. Syd-
nor's giving it to the North Carolina room.

Last winter I had letters inquiring about the Museum from Eliza-
beth City, Mt. Olive, and several other N. C. Chapters, and I
would suggest that each chapter have every season a day called
"Museum Day," on which they would explain the work, object, etc.,
of the Museum. It could be made most interesting by telling of
some of the priceless relics stored there and the great work that is
being done in preserving the true history of the war.

Each year, like the old Confederate Veterans, our ranks grow
thinner, and I record with sorrow the recent death of Rev. James
Powers Smith, our beloved chaplain for many years. He had a
brilliant military record serving under Stonewall Jackson and an
equally notable career as a soldier of the Cross, serving in the
Southern Presbyterian Church. He was known and loved as much in

58 Minutes of the Twenty-seventh Annual Convention

North Carolina as Virginia, and we will miss his wise counsel and
benign presence.

As I have had numerous inquiries, I wish to explain the difference
between the Battle Abbey and the Confederate Memorial Literary
Society, or Museum as there seems to be some confusion in the
public mind. The Battle Abbey is an entirely different organization
and building. Some years ago $100,000 was given by Broadway
Rouss and an equal sum was raised by the veterans and others,
with which a handsome memorial building was erected. It has
beautiful mural paintings of General Lee and his officers, battle
scenes, etc., but it is simply a handsome monument to the Con-
federacy, while the Museum was the official home of Jefferson
Davis during the brief and turbulent years of his Presidency.

For the benefit of the younger daughters who are not familiar
with the Museum I would like to say a few words about the work.
You all know that the Museum was the building in which President
Davis lived and was the "White House of the Confederacy." In
it each Southern State has a room in which are placed records,
manuscripts, and relics of the accomplishments of the soldiers from
that particular State. Each State has a regent who lives in the
State which she represents, and tries to awaken interest and keep
the Daughters in touch with the Museum, and a vice-regent who
lives in Richmond and must attend the Board meetings, have care
of the room, and is responsible for its maintenance. This I have
done to the best of my ability.

The Museum contains a most wonderful collection of relics and
many original manuscripts which are in constant demand by his-
torians to verify the facts of the war between the States. The
Museum, or the Confederate Memorial Literary Society as the
name indicates was primarily organized to preserve all historical
papers, of which we have about 40,000 in our files. There are an-
nually over 10,000 visitors; we charge a small admission fee of
25 cents, and we have the privilege of inviting as our guests to
visit the Museum members of educational, historical, and Con-
federate organizations. When the Museum is fully endowed we ex-
pect to open it free of charge to the public, as our work is of an
educational character, and we desire the true facts of the war to
be made known to the younger generation.

I urge you faithful Daughters to take as your especial work this
year the Rolls of Honor. There are 241 bound books of Rolls of
Honor and I regret that North Carolina has not a single volume
containing the records of her brave sons though she furnished about
one-fifth of all the soldiers in the war, and we must bestir ourselves
in this matter.

REPORT OF SOLDIERS HOME COMMITTEE

Again I come to you, proud to report both progress and widening
scope in all lines of your endeavors for the benefit of the Veterans
of the Confederacy at the Soldiers Home, and the loyal support of
the Chapter Presidents of your organizations who make up the
Committee for this work. Throughout the year, sympathetic un-
derstanding and intelligent cooperation has pushed to successful
culmination our every new undertaking.

With the indomitable spirit that was hers in battle and that
bitter aftermath of battle that was reconstruction, North Carolina
now goes forward in her program of progress and to her eternal
glory be it said that in the days of her prosperity, she is not for-
getful of those upon whose courage and endurance the foundations
of her prosperity were built.

In the last four years the General Assembly of the State has
given us the increased maintenance fund for the Home, thirty
thousand dollars for its repairs, and the splendid increase in the
pension fund. Last year through the splendid work of our friends
of the Appropriation Committee of the House and of the Senate,
we were able to add to this record five thousand dollars for the
enlargement and improvement of the Hospital. Mr. Walter Murphy,
of Salisbury, Representative from Rowan County and Mr. D. F.
Giles, of Marion, Senator from McDowell County, were Chair-
men of the Committees on Appropriation of the House and Sen-
ate respectively. To them and the gentlemen who made up their
committees we owe great thanks for their patriotic interest and
efficient work in behalf of this most essential need of the Home.
Shortly after Christmas, an epidemic of influenza brought home to
us how great and urgent this need had grown to be. Mr. Murphy
was chairman of the Joint Committee on Appropriations of House
and Senate. Hobbled at home as we were by a broken ankle,
the most necessary personal work that we had planned to do in
behalf of this cause must have been left undone had it not been for
his tireless interest and unceasing personal efforts, that in spite
of the most rigorous exactions on his time — left nothing undone
that might assure success for the appropriation we asked. This
appropriation was passed unanimously by the gentlemen of the
Joint Committee on Appropriations. It will confer inestimable good,
and many Veterans will now be able to pass in comfort and ease
those last ailing days that perhaps otherwise would have been at
best lonely and not so intelligently provided for. For with the
years the call on the hospital at the Home has grown greater and
greater. When the Home was first founded, the men who lived

United Daughters of the Confederacy 61

there were the men who had been wounded or disabled on the bat-
tle fields, men still young and vigorous in temperament. With the
passing of the years men disabled by time and disease have come
to make it their home; they are more dependent on the care of the
Hospital and they seek the cheerful atmosphere of home and per-
sonal care that is its dominant characteristic today. We have a
most excellent head nurse, universally beloved by the Veterans.
Her two assistant nurses are capable and kind, the orderlies efficient
and considerate. Our physician is most able and of the tempera-
ment that brings that most blessed of all cures, cheerfulness, into the
lives of his patients.

Through the benefit of this $5,000 appropriation for the Hospital,
we, on the suggestions of the doctor and head nurse, intend to
provide three new rooms, these to provide much needed space for the
feeble and ailing so that in case of an epidemic disease, they may be
completely segregated from the men who are ill and at the same
time not forego the immediate care of the nurses and physician.
Gen. Carr, Chairman of the Board of Directors, has made us Chair-
man of the Building Committee of this fund, the plans are drawn
and the work under way on three new rooms, modern plumbing
and an extra bathroom for the nurses. The sun parlor of the
Hospital is the social gathering place for all the men of the Home.
There the graphophone is played and the ice cream, lemonade, and
watermelon parties held. The Home is at present in better condition
materially and financially than it has been for years. We live
within our appropriation. The food is good, the rooms are clean
the grounds better kept than they have been for years. It is our
hope and intention that another year shall see it in every way in
better condition than it is at present. Many of the Veterans are
interested in practical endeavors to bring this ambition to pass.
Mr. Beavers attends to the yard and makes a garden, Mr. Boyles
to the Chapel, the birds and the flag. Mr. Rogers paints, and plants
a garden. Except for the epidemic of influenza, the health record
has been excellent.

Adding beyond measure to the happiness of the Home is the splen-
did and generous gift of the Eli S. Blackwood Fund of $5,000 made
on May 11th by Miss Katherine B. Blackwood, of New York, former-
ly of Charlotte, N. C, through her attorney, Alfred W. Haywood,
to the Veterans of the North Carolina Soldiers Home through the
Board of Directors of the Soldiers Home Association. Miss Black-
wood made this gift in honor of her beloved brother, Eli S. Black-
wood, who died on August 7, 1921. Mr. Blackwood was a Soldier
of the Confederacy, member of Company "C" Eighth Battalion,
North Carolina Troops. He enlisted as a mere youth and exem-

62 Minutes of the Twenty-seventh Annual Convention

plified in his life his devotion to the interest of his fellow soldiers,
who had survived the long and arduous struggle for Southern in-
dependence and the constitutional rights of the Southern States.
This fund is to be used solely for comforts, extra comforts, for the
Veterans and for their entertainment and diversion. The principal
as well as the interest by direction and request of the donor is to
be spent all for pleasures, none for necessities. Acting in coopera-
tion with General Carr, Chairman of this Fund, as your commit-
teeman, and member of the Board of Directors of the Home, it
has been our pleasure to aid in the carrying out of the generous
plans of Miss Blackwood. Throughout the summer, we have through
the fund supplied lemonade and cake every Wednesday evening, ice
cream and cake and cigars every Sunday evening, with several
watermelon parties contributing more than words can estimate
to a realization that is satisfactory to our desire to make life
happier and brighter for the men who live at the Home. In
furtherance of this aim, Gen. Carr — whose devotion to the in-
terests of his fellow soldiers grows greater with the years — has
given much time and thought. His desire is, that as the days
pass, pleasure and comfort shall be the dominant note of the Home.
This year has been distinguished by the concrete manner in which
through your efforts that desire has found satisfactory realization.
We started off the year with a beautiful and complete All Hal-
lowe'en Party provided by the Julia Jackson Childrens' Chapter of
Charlotte and throughout the year we have kept with proper observ-
ances all memorial, feast days and holidays. Washington's Birth-
day, four birthday cakes with a total of nearly 350 candles, pre-
sented to four beribboned, beflowered Confederate Veterans in the
sun parlor of the Hospital, presented an entertainment unique in
interest and distinction. Comrades Williams, Collins, Reeves, and
Pool contributed the years marked by the gleaming candles; and
Mrs. H. A. London, President of the Pittsboro Chapter, Mrs. James
Cordon, Miss Katherine Stronach, of Raleigh, and Manly's Battery
Children of the Confederacy, the cakes; Miss Britt, the head nurse
of the Home, the red and white boutonnieres, that were the pride of
the four birthday celebrators, who although they were all in rolling
chairs, were school boys in the spirit with which they shared their
good fortune with their comrades. Mrs. J. S. Rowland, head of
the Hospital Committee of the Johnston Pettigrew Chapter, Ral-
eigh, was in charge of this party, which will forever remain a
red letter day in the annals of the Home. To her thoughtfulness
and efficiency, the Hospital has been greatly indebted throughout the
year for pleasure and entertainment every Wednesday afternoon
of each week.

Early in the fall supplies of good things began to arrive from
the various Chapters from all parts of the State. Christmas we had
as usual two trees. The Girls Friendly Society of the Church of the
Good Shepherd superintended and contributed liberally to the tree
in the Chapel for the men of cottages and dormitories laden with an
individual gift for each man from the Stonewall Jackson Chapter of
Charlotte. Manly's Battery, Raleigh, and the nurses superintended
the tree in the sun parlor for the men in the Hospital. Sweets,
fruits, raisins, cakes, ice cream were provided for the tree in the
Hospital by our loyal old Santa Claus, the Bell Battery Chapter
Junius Daniel, The John W. Dunham, Frank Parker, Charles
Fisher, George Singletary Chapters. Delicious apples came from
Tarboro, Haywood Chapter, Sylva, Wilkes Valley Guards, Lumber-
ton, Fannie Patton, Hendersonville, John W. Dunham Chapters.
Oranges and apples from the George Singletary Chapter. Potatoes,
Mecklenburg Chapter. Candy, cake, canned goods, dainties, pre-
serves, jellies from Charles Fisher, Ft. Macon, Halifax Light In-
fantry, Confederate Heroes Children Chapter, Red Springs, Green
County, Winnie Davis, Snow Hill, Robert E. Lee Chapters. Socks,
handkerchiefs and smoking tobacco from Zeb. Vance Boys' Chapter,
Neuse, Kings Mountain, Aulander, Lumberton, Robert E. Lee, and
Martha Kepler Chapters. For these supplies and the generous in-
terest that prompted them we cannot adequately express our thanks
and appreciation. They spoke of a love and community of interest
that is paramount in the happiness of the Veterans. The Chalmers
Glenn, the A. W. Waddell, Charles Fisher, Frank M. Parker, High
Point, John W. Dunham, Graham, Annie K. Kyle and Fannie Pat-
ton Chapters have looked most faithfully after their rooms and the
men they have adopted. The hospital has been made more com-
fortable with four screens badly needed from A. M. Waddell Chap-
ter, and chairs from Gastonia, Graham and the Confederate Heroes,
Children's Chapter, and beautiful quilt from the Wilkes Valley
Guards. The Zeb Vance Boys' Chapter has kept our flag staff sup-
plied with beautiful flags. The Stonewall Jackson is supplying the
dining-room with linen.

Three veterans went from the Home to the Reunion in New Or-
leans, Comrades Beaver, Graves, and Griffith. Mr. Beaver was given
the trip by his friend, Hon. Baldy Boyden, Mr. Griffin by the Coun-
ty Commissioners of Nash County and Mr. Graves by the R. E. Lee
Chapter of Lexington, and the County Commissioners of Davidson
County. Sixteen Veterans attended the Reunion in Winston-Salem,
and returned declaring it the finest time of their lives.

The year has taken from us the inspiration of the presence of
Capt. Cathey. Memorial Day, the day of all days for the Veterans,

64 Minutes of the Twenty -seventh Annual Convention

with its beautiful and inspiring pageant of courage and remem-
brance, found his grave marked with a stone of beauty and loving
care by the Chalmers-Glenn Chapter, whose particular ward he had
been, and heaped with beautiful flowers from the hands of the
many who loved him.

Throughout the year we have endeavored to see that the funeral
of each and every Veteran was attended by some representative
of this organization, that flowers were supplied and that each
man went to his last sleep under that starry cross which was the
inspiration of his youth and the symbol in his last days of integrity,
honor, loyalty and undying courage.

Miss Mary Oliver of the New Bern Chapter returned to
the Convention the $91.10 sent to the New Bern Fire Suf-
ferers, stating the money was not needed.

At this point Mrs. Schuyler spoke in behalf of the Japanese
sufferers, and it was moved and carried that $50.00 of this
money returned by New Bern be given for this most worthy
cause, the remainder of the money to be placed to the Gettys-
burg Monument Fund.

Mrs. T. W. Wilson read report on sale of "Women of the
South in War Times." This report was accepted.

REPORT ON WOMEN OF THE SOUTH IN WAR TIMES
Madam President, Madam President-General and Daughters:

As Division Director of our book, "Women of the South in War
Times," I come to you with a report far below the standard of
excellence desired, having sold only one hundred and sixty-two
copies this year and collected only eight dollars for the Publicity
Fund.

For three consecutive years the merit and importance of the book
have been presented both by the Division President and Director
but I believe that in some way we have failed to make you realize
that this is a part of our work to which we are obligated just as
much as to other causes.

I believe this because I have found that when North Carolina
Daughters of the Confederacy realize the importance of any phase
of our work and know that an obligation rests upon them that
they rally to that cause.

It was so with the Hero fund, it was true with registration, the
Jefferson Davis Monument and other objects for which such splendid
work has been accomplished.

I believe it will be true with our book for certainly it is important
in that wherever the book is placed, true Southern history is

United Daughters of the Confederacy 67

placed and thus is fulfilled the object for which the book has been
compiled and printed.

And certainly we are obligated to contribute to the publicity fund
with which to carry on this work and to sell a generous share of
the ten thousand copies pledged by the General Organization for
the payment of the original publication indebtedness.

You will remember that in lots of less than ten copies the books
are delivered, postage prepaid at $2.00 per copy.

In lots of ten copies or more they are delivered at $1.75 per
copy, express collect.

My plea today is that every Chapter not having already measured
up will, before the first of November, send in $1.00 for the Pub-
licity Fund and an order for ten or more copies of our book.

This would place North Carolina over the top with "Women of
the South in War Times."

Up to the present date I have received for the Publicity Fund,
$5.00 from Mrs. C. K. Burney, of Asheville, and $1.00 each from
the Chapters at Warsaw, Scotland Neck and Mount Olive.

Nineteen Chapters have purchased from one to six copies of our
book. The Chapters from Charlotte, Monroe, Mt. Airy, Rockingham,
Sanford, Wadesboro and Warsaw have purchased ten copies per
Chapter.

The Chapters purchasing more than ten copies are Wilson fifteen,
Rocky Mount fifteen and New Bern twenty-three.

The prize offered to the Daughter purchasing the greatest num-
ber of books goes to Mrs. Uzzell, of New Bern.
Respectfully submitted,

Bessie Duff Wilson.

Adjournment for Memorial Hour.

or Daring of a North Carolina woman in the War Between
the States.

Mrs. F. M. Williams moved that the Convention endorse

matter of the Bennett Memorial. After some discussion, the
motion was carried by a rising vote.

Mrs. I. W. Faison, of Charlotte, read the report of the
Jefferson Davis Monument and asked for contributions for
this Monument.

REPORT OP JEFFERSON DAVIS MONUMENT

Madam President:

When I was appointed Director of the Jefferson Davis Monument
Committee, I was surprised, but it thrilled my soul for I think
this work is above all other U. D. C. work, and why? Because
Jefferson Davis was the only President of the Confederacy and
was our martyred President; because he stood for the whole South
and suffered for us. Justice has never been dealt him as it should
have been. He was a good man, above reproach, and did his duty
as he felt and saw it. You hear speeches made on many occasions
all over the South where the names of Generals Lee and Jackson
are glorified, and rightly so, but the name of our martyred President
is nearly always left out.

Now in all organizations, even armies, little petty jealousies arise
and enmity embitters the life and work of a good man. So it
was with President Davis, but he arose above it all and today we
must love and revere his name and memory as our only President
of the Confederacy and never forget to mention him when we speak
of our great heroes.

We have been very successful in raising this money and every
person I approached seemed glad to contribute to this cause. The
Chapters all did the best they could at the time we began raising
this money and I know they will help me again to raise the amount
we desire. North Carolina, so far, stands first in the general U. D. C.
in the amount raised. We must raise ours to $2,000.00 before we
go to Washington. They must have $20,000.00 before December
1 and $2,000.00 more to complete the monument by June, 1924.

United Daughters of the Confederacy 71

Now, Daughters, will you rally to this work and do the very best
you can? Mrs. Jacksie Thrash Morrison, our General Chairman,
has worked hard on this monument committee and feels proud of
North Carolina.

I raised over $500.00 for our Stonewall Jackson Chapter. I re-
ceived a check from Mrs. Bettie Kelly Gaither in Florida for
$25.00. Mr. C. E. Hutchinson, of Mount Holly, gave me $25.00.
Mr. Hugh McCrae, of Wilmington, gave me $10.00 and Mr. A. D.
Watts gave me $5.00. On the floor this afternoon I raised over
$60.00 and with what Chapters and individuals have given I now
have over $2,000.

The monument at Fairview, Ky., birth place of President Davis,
was begun by the Confederate Veterans and turned over to the U. D.
C. to complete. At Lincoln's birth place in Kentucky, the United
States Government has spent thousands of dollars beautifying it and
erecting a grand monument.

Respectfully submitted,

(Mrs. I. W.) Sallie Gates Faison,

N. C. Director.

THIRD DAY— Morning Session

The closing session of the Convention was opened Satur-
day morning at 9 :30 o'clock with an invocation by Rev. L. B.
Hayes.

Miss Kennon of N". C. C. W. rendered a beautiful solo
which was much appreciated by the audience.

The minutes of the Friday sessions were read and ap-
proved.

Mrs. L. B. Newell moved and it was carried that the Dis-
trict Reports should not be read, but printed in the minutes.
However, the banners of the Districts were displayed. Mrs.
T. W. Wilson moved, and it was carried that at future Con-
ventions, these banners be presented at the opening morning
session of the Convention.

By special ruling, the President asked that Mrs. Howell, of
Waynesville, read the report of the First District because
of its historical value.

It was moved and carried that Mrs. R. E. Little and Mrs.
Crowell, together with the Chairman of the Committee on
Text books, appear before the North Carolina Teachers As-
sembly, to urge the use of impartial text books in the schools.

After a talk from the President General, Mrs. L. R. Schuy-
ler, concerning the correct use of the American Flag, Mrs.
F. M. Williams made the motion that the President of the
Division be empowered to draw from the General Fund a
sufficient amount to purchase a creditable United States Flag
to be displayed at the Conventions.

The President presented to the Convention, Mrs. Yates, of
Asheville, Organizer of the Confederate Memorial Associa-
tion in North Carolina. Mrs. Yates extended greetings.

It was moved, seconded and carried that a telegram of
sympathy be sent Miss Mary Henderson, ex-Recording Sec-
retary, who is ill at her home.

74 Minutes of the Twenty-seventh Annual Convention

The following amendments to the Constitution were read
and adopted :

AMENDMENTS

Amend Article 6, Section 1, by striking out the words in the
second paragraph, "Begin at the close of the Convention at which
they are elected" and insert "Begin on December 1st of each year,
and all books and records be transferred by that date."

(Remarks: This will greatly facilitate the work of the Division
as taxes can be paid and other assessments forwarded to Treasurer-
general a month later.)

Omit Section 2 of same Article, as the above amendment will
cover the clause.

Article 6, Section 3. The manuscript for the Minutes must be
handed to the printers on or before December 1 of each year and
the contract with them require that the said Minutes be ready
for distribution by February 1.

Mrs. F. M. Williams moved and it was carried that follow-
ing the receipt of the model constitution drawn by the Com-
mittee from the General Convention, a Committee be ap-
pointed to revise the North Carolina Constitution.

Mrs. F. M. Williams made a motion that our President
General, Mrs. Schuyler and our Third Vice-President-Gen-
eral, Mrs. W. E. Massey, be made honorary members of the
Division. This motion was unanimously carried.

Mrs. F. M. Williams made the further motion that Mrs.
Schuyler be elected as the Honorary President of the Division
to fill the place of Mrs. William Dorsey Pender, of Tarboro.
This motion was carried with applause. Mrs. Schuyler and
Mrs. Massey expressed deep appreciation of the honor con-
ferred upon them.

Committee reports on Church Bells and Pensions were
read by Mrs. Henry A. London, and approved.

CHURCH BELLS COMMITTEE

Madam President and Ladies of the Convention:

I have not been able since last convention to learn of any other
churches that gave their bells to the Confederate Government for
cannon, and none of my committee have written me of any. I

United Daughters of the Confederacy 75

feel convinced that there were more in North Carolina and I asked
all of these women to try to learn if there were any more churches
that patriotically gave their bells to the Government to be moulded
into cannon.

Respectfully,

Mrs Henry A. London.

REPORT OF PENSION COMMITTEE
Madam President:

My report on pensions is short for the reason that the pension
has not been enlarged since last Convention. The Legislature of
1921 gave $1,000,000 to Confederate soldiers and widows. This
seems a large sum, but when divided between veterans and widows
it is not much, the average pensioner getting $8.75 a month.
As I told one Senator it was not enough to buy him a nice pair
of shoes. Of course, the bed-ridden and maimed ones get more. I
give you the average in Chatham county: 89 veterans and 75 widows
drawing pensions. There are in North Carolina 5,200 veteran pen-
sioners and 5,000 widows. The committee was urged to ask for in-
creased pension of the 1922 and 1923 Assembly.

I closed my home and went to Raleigh and did not leave till the
last night of the session was over. You see we were advised by
the leaders not to try to get more, as long as the State's finances
were in such a doubtful condition. So we anxiously watched and
waited for fear in the excitement and doubt about the State's
finances, some one would wildly try to cut down the present pension.
We can get a raise at next session we hope.

Faithfully,

Mrs Henry A. London.

The Second Vice-President, Mrs. L. B. Newell, was called
to the Chair while Mrs. Holt read the report of the Commit-
tee on World War Records, of which she is Director. This
report was accepted with thanks.

REPORT OF WORLD WAR RECORDS
Madam, President and Daughters:

For the fifth time I bring you your report on the collection of the
records of our State boys who were lineal descendants of Confederate
Veterans that served our re-united country 1917-18.

76 Minutes of the Twenty-seventh Annual Convention

I am afraid that many of you never realized the importance
of this work as you should, but if you haven't before, please find
out why these records are being collected and then go right to
work and don't stop until every boy you can find that is eligible has
filled out his record for you.

I am going to give you the numbers filed by years and if the boys
of your county are not filed get their records and add to these.
All received before October 26, can be sent with those to be reported
at Washington.

In 1919 we filed 962; 1920, 1,113; 1921, 402; 1922, 458, and this year
so far have only 281 to report to you and about twenty of those
were sent to Birmingham last year so cannot be counted for Wash-
ington.

This year only seventeen chapters have sent in any records, they
are as follows: Winton, Rocky Mount, Durham, Washington,
Waynesville, Snow Hill, Kings Mountain, Gatesville, Asheboro, Mt.
Airy, Oriental, Aulander have each sent just a few. Now to these
I wish to express the thanks of the Division for they have made
an effort to help our Division make a creditable showing and at
the same time file the records of our boys. Greensboro 15, New
Bern 44, Hookerton 45, Wilson 48, Wilmington 80.

Therefore Mrs. Speiden, of Wilmington wins the prize for the
greatest number sent in by a Daughter, Cape Fear Chapter for
the greatest number sent in by a Chapter and Mrs. G. Kenry Jackson
of New Bern, for the greatest number sent in by a member of the
Auxiliary to the American Legion.

Respectfully submitted,

Tempe Whitehead Holt.

Mrs. Holt also read the report of the Subscriptions to The
Confederate Veteran which was accepted.

REPORT OF SUBSCRIPTIONS TO THE CONFEDERATE

VETERAN

Daughters, I know a great many of you have subscribed to The
Confederate Veteran that did not send your orders through my
office, but only those going through the regular channel are entitled
to contest for the prizes offered.

The following chapters have sent in orders:

Snow Hill, Nashville, Fairmont, Charlotte, Dillsboro, Yanceyville,
and Tarboro have each given one subscription order; Warsaw,
Morehead City and Oriental two subscriptions; Mooresville, 3;

United Daughters of the Confederacy 77

Rocky Mount, 4; Graham, 10, and New Bern, 35. This makes a
total of 65 subscriptions that have passed through my office and
gives the $10.00 offered by the Thirteenth District to Mrs. T. A.
Uzzell, of New Bern, for through her efforts the Veteran was sent
by her chapter to every Veteran in their county for a year, twenty-
nine in all and to that order she has added six other subscriptions.
Now there is another chapter which has brought me the receipts
for 34 subscriptions sent in but we feel that as they did not pass
through my office as the rules say we cannot count them in this
contest, however, if they were counted they are one short of New
Bern.

Daughters, as I said in my report we need this magazine in our
work for it will keep us in touch with the work of our General Or-
ganization, I wish it could be in the home of every member of our
Division.

Respectfully submitted,

Tempe Whitehead Holt.

Mrs. Schuyler gave a description of the cross to be pre-
sented to World War Veterans of Confederate descent and
urged that the North Carolina Division secure all possible
records.

Mrs. Holt called for invitations for the Convention next
year. Mrs. J. L. Bridgers made the motion that in future
invitations be extended from the District rather than indi-
vidual Chapters ; the District inviting the Convention to
choose the city in which the Convention should be held.
This motion was carried.

Mrs. Holt stated that she would hold open the matter of
meeting place until the Districts had opportunity to extend
invitations.

It was moved and carried that a message of love be sent to
Mrs. H. L. Riggins, of Winston-Salem, who is ill in Hot
Springs, Ark.

Mrs. John Anderson made the report on the Memorial
Amphitheatre at Arlington, which was accepted.

78 Minutes of the Twenty-seventh Annual Convention

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON MEMORIAL AMPHITHEATRE
AT ARLINGTON

Madam President and Daughters :

I have written to Senators and Representatives in Congress in
regard to placing names of our Confederate heroes in the memorial
amphitheatre at Arlington.

Our beloved Major (Congressman) Stedman went into this at
length and found that nothing can be done except by special act
of Congress.

I have letters from the Secretary of War and the Chairman of
the "Commission on the erection of memorials at Arlington" and
all say the same thing. So let us pray fervently that we may have
a Democratic Congress which will authorize this act, to thus honor
our beloved Southern heroes.

I beg that every daughter in North Carolina will write and urge
her Congressman to use his influence in Washington to this end.

(Mrs. J. H.) Lucy London Anderson.

Mrs. R. E. Little introduced the subject concerning the
upkeep of the Confederate cemeteries by the Government.
After some discussion, it was moved, seconded and carried
that this matter be referred to the General Convention.

Mrs. Edgar Morrison and Mrs. O. E. Mendenhall an-
nounced that temporary markers bearing the inscription
"Jefferson Davis Highway" would be placed every five miles
along the Highway from Virginia to South Carolina within
60 days.

Mrs. Morrison and Mrs. Mendenhall were given a rising
vote of thanks for their splendid work.

At the request of Mrs. T. W. Wilson, Mrs. Schuyler spoke
of our book "The Women of the South in War Times," com-
plimenting Mrs. Holt for her work along this line.

Mrs. Bridgers read the report of the Librarian, which was
accepted.

United Daughters of the Confederacy 79

Madam President:

I have received four books for the United Daughters of Confeder-
acy Shelf in the Paris Library. Since the opening of this convention
our President has presented a very valuable volume to Mrs. Schuyler,
our President-General, for the same object, which we are very proud
to record.

Respectfully submitted,

(Mrs. John L.) Laura P. Bridgers.

A cordial letter from Col. G. B. Alford was read inviting
the Daughters to attend the unveiling of the Confederate
Monument at Holly Springs, October 25, 1923.

Mrs. Holt stated that the report of the Committee on the
Parsley Portrait was omitted from the Minutes of last year,
but would be included in the Minutes of this year.

REPORT OF PARSLEY PORTRAIT COMMITTEE

Madam President:

Eliza Hall Nutt was born in Wilmington, N. C, August 13, 1842.
Her early school days were spent at home and later she was a stu-
dent of St. Mary's School at Raleigh, N. C. On September 2, 1862, she
was married to Captain William Murdock Parsley. Later he was
Colonel Parsley of the Third Regiment, North Carolina Division,
and was killed on April 6, 1865. In December, 1894, Mrs. Parsley
organized the Cape Fear Chapter No. 3 U. D. C, being its first
President and continuing its head for twelve years. On account of
failing health she resigned. In April, 1895, she organized the N. C.
Division of the U. D. C. and was unanimously elected its first Presi-
dent. It was thus that she became our mother as well as Organizer.
Now as a tribute of love from the N. C. Division U. D. C. we wish
to present the Cape Fear Chapter U. D. C, Wilmington, N. C, a
portrait of our first President, Mrs. William Parsley, a native of
your city.

We hope this portrait will serve the purpose of reminding rising
generations of what this woman did for our U. D. C. work, with
love and duty combined. Long after all of us shall have gone to our
reward, this silent testimonial will stand as an inspiration from
the woman who could answer the call of duty, and who never
learned the meaning of the word fail. She was the old type of a
true Southern woman whose personality endeared her to all with
whom she came in contact.

80 Minutes of the Twenty-seventh Annual Convention

Mrs. Marshall Williams, of Faison, N. C, was the talented painter
of this portrait. We wish to place this portrait in the care of Mrs.
Ned Sprunt, daughter of Mrs. Parsley, and make her Custodian
for life. At her death it is to be placed in the Hall of History, in
Raleigh, N. C, or Battle Abbey, by the Cape Fear Chapter. We
as Daughters of the U. D. C. have a heritage and a lineage to sus-
tain unchallenged in the eyes of the world, the faith of our fathers
and our mothers, and we must not let it wane or die. Daughters,
let us not be recreant to our trust.

Respectfully submitted,

Sallie Yates Faison,

Chairman.

Mrs. Holt thanked the members of the Executive Board
for their splendid cooperation, following which she intro-
duced members of the new Board.

Report of the Courtesy Committee was read by Mrs. Henry
A. London. This report was accepted by the Convention.

COURTESY COMMITTEE REPORT
The North Carolina Division of Daughters of the Confederacy has
been anticipating with the keenest pleasure, this Convention in
Greensboro. Many of us having attended the Convention held here
in 1907, remember the lovely hospitality shown us then.

We have first to thank Miss Lizzie Lindsay, President of the
Guilford Chapter, and Mrs. R. L. Justice, its Vice-President, for
the beautiful luncheon given to the Executive Board, the first day.
We also thank the Chairman of the Pages with her coterie of lovely
girls, and Mrs. E. R. Michaux for her fine work as head of the Cre-
dential Committee. To the management of the 0. Henry Hotel,
we extend our sincere thanks for the many courtesies shown us
while there. We do most heartily appreciate the royal welcome
given us by the President of the Guilford Chapter of U. D. C,
Mayor of Greensboro, Chamber of Commerce, Woman's Club, Rotary
Club, Kiwanis Club, Civitan Club, Lions Club, American Legion,
American Legion Auxiliary, Sons of Confederate Veterans, Guilford
Battle Chapter of D. A. R. ; also the greetings from General Wil-
liam A. Smith for the Confederate Veterans, greetings from the
Colonial Dames, the D. A. R., the Virginia Division of U. D. C.

And we do appreciate the anxiety of Mr. A. M. Scales (after all
was said), for us to feel perfectly welcome in Greensboro.

United Daughters of the Confederacy 81

The responses to addresses of welcome, by Mrs. Z. B. Vance, Jr.,
of Asheville, and her introduction of Mrs. R. P. Holt, our State
President, was very appropriate.

We wish here to express our thanks to our State President for
her splendid report showing wonderful work during the year.

To the Guilford Chapter we express our thanks for the very
much enjoyed reception Wednesday evening. The ride to the
North Carolina College, and the luncheon given by the Civitan and
Lions Clubs were much enjoyed on Thursday — as was the reception
that evening given by the Guilford Battle Chapter D. A. R.
For both, we extend thanks. Also to the Rotary and Kiwanis
Clubs for the elegant luncheon given us at the Country Club on
Friday.

We are deeply indebted to the Chamber of Commerce for the trip
to the Guilford Battle Ground on Friday afternoon. This was
most instructive. Thanks to the Woman's Club and other welcoming
clubs.

The reception given by Mrs. R. F. Dalton Friday afternoon to the
Colonial Dames, was most delightful. We wish to express our
thanks to the ministers who led our devotions and to the press
for their interest in our U. D. C. work. It is to the press that we
look to keep our work before the world. We wish to thank Mrs.
W. E. Massey, Third Vice-President-General, for her wonderful ad-
dress, and the leader of the children for the entertaining evenings.
To those who furnished the beautiful musical selections we extend
our thanks.

The stenographer and Miss Hadley Woodard, the secretary, have
been most patient, and we especially feel that thanks are due Miss
Woodard for so willingly helping, in place of Miss Henderson, the
Recording Secretary, who was too ill in Salisbury to be present at
Convention.

This has been a most successful Convention, presided over so
serenely by our able President, Mrs. R. P. Holt, and distinguished by
the presence of our beloved President-General, Mrs. Livingston Rowe
Schuyler. Her address was patriotic and full of inspiration. Her
very presence was an inspiration, and we thank her for coming.

We thank Major Charles M. Stedman, Gen. Wm. A. Smith, Col.
W. H. Chaplin and the other Confederate Veterans for attending
our Convention.

Maj. Stedman's address Friday evening was "North Carolina's
Part in the War Between the States." We can never thank him
enough for giving us that thrillingly instructive speech — and may
he live many years to give us such another treat.

3to idlemoriam

At the hour of noon, Friday, October 5th, the business of the Con-
vention was suspended for the Memorial exercises, with Mrs. E. F.
Reid, Chaplain, presiding.

The Devotional Service was conducted by Dr. W. C. Smith, Dean

of the North Carolina College for Women. Doctor Smith read

Scripture passages and made a highly spiritual talk on "Faith."

Mr. J. Foster Barnes sang Kipling's "Lest We Forget."

Mrs. Reid then read a beautiful memorial address, which follows:

We are met together at this hour to do honor to the memory of

those who have passed over the river during the past year. To me,

this Memorial Service is one of the sweetest and most impressive

Sessions of our Convention. The custom of presenting a Cross of

Honor to our Veterans is indeed a beautiful idea — the women who

endured the trials and hardships during the War Between the States,

have received no Crosses of Honor, but do you not believe that

these women have worn an invisible Cross of Honor given to them

by the Master Himself? And surely they are wearing Crowns of

Victory now.

A few months ago we had a most delightful guest in our home,
Rev. Yoseph Ben Yamen of Persia. He told us of the terrible
hardships endured by himself and family during the World War.
He described in graphic words that horrible march from Armenia
and Persia into Russia, fleeing from the unspeakable Turk. He
and his family reached Russia in safety, but were there during the
revolution and Bolshevist terror. When asked how he escaped to
America he said simply "God sent a ship for us. The Captain was
a good man and when I told him of our plight and desire to escape
to America he said I will take you with me." Mr. Ben Yamen had
taken training in a Theological Seminary in Columbia, S. C. Friends
in Columbia helped them to get a start and Mr. Ben Yamen said
"My wife says she would rather spend one day in Christian America
than a whole year in the land we used to live in." Yes, friends
these Daughters and brave Veterans who have gone before us en-
dured hardships, sorrow and care during their pilgrimage here
on earth but can you not hear those who followed their Savior
here on earth saying, "Oh, I'd rather spend one glad day here in this
beautiful heavenly home, than a whole life time on earth."

106 Minutes of the Twenty-seventh Annual Convention

The roll was then called of departed Daughters of the North
Carolina Division who were called home during the past year.
The following Memorials were read:

Memorial to Hon. J. Bryan Grimes by Mrs. Henry M. London.
Memorial to Dr. James Power Smith by Mrs. J. Sterling Jones.
Memorial to Mrs. S. D. Twitty by Mrs. V. L. Pendleton.
Memorial to Mrs. Mary Applewhite Killian and Mrs. K. W. Long
by Mrs. P. W. Williams.

Prayer, Mrs. Henry A. London.

COL. J. BRYAN GRIMES

Inheriting a name illustrious in the Confederate history of the
South and of the Old North State, and having made for himself a
record that reflected credit upon the name, the life of John Bryan
Grimes, of North Carolina, stands as an example of rare accom-
plishment. He who never knew old age served for more than
twenty-two years as Secretary of State for North Carolina and
helped to develop her resources along all lines through one of the
most difficult, though successful periods of her statehood. When
death closed his career on January 11, 1923, after a brief illness, his
State paid him tribute as an exalted official. His body lay in state
in the rotunda of the Capitol, with the flag at half mast, and every
state office was closed in his honor. Over his casket was draped
the flag of North Carolina and the banner of the Confederacy.

The War Between the States had been over for more than three
years when John Bryan Grimes was born on June 3, 1868, at Ral-
eigh. His father was Maj. Gen. Bryan Grimes, one of those gallant
officers of the Army of Northern Virginia during the War Between
the States; his mother, Charlotte Emily Bryan, was daughter of
John Heritage Bryan of New Bern, N. C, a prominent lawyer and
representative in the State Legislature and National Congress.
Colonel Grimes spent his early manhood at Grimesland, the ances-
tral home in Pitt County, N. C, where he was taught by private
tutors, afterwards attending the Raleigh Male Academy and other
noted schools of the State, graduating from the University of
North Carolina in the class of 1886.

From his earliest years he was interested in historical matters,
and in an address he delivered at the unveiling of a Confederate
monument at Bethel, Va., he told how he learned to revere the
sacred cause of the Confederacy at his mother's knee and from his
honored soldier father who loved the South with religious devotion.
As the years passed and his influence increased, he ever sought

United Daughters of the Confederacy 107

to exalt the fame of the Confederate soldier, to honor his heroic
service, and to aid him in his declining years. Fitting indeed that
he should be Commander of the Sons of Confederate Veterans of
North Carolina and a beloved counsellor of the Daughters. His
military title came from the position he held on the staff of Governor
Elias Carr.

Among the many tributes called forth by his untimely death, one
writer lists him with "the five most useful and patriotic men of
North Carolina," another was deeply impressed that in a long and
successful political career, his only "machine" was a record of
efficient public service; while another says of him:

"Colonel Grimes was of delightful personality. Into whatever
company he was cast, he was of charming companionship, in politics
ho was a statesman, in society he was a brilliant element. He was
a man of polished education, and properly served as chairman of the
State Historical Commission from 1907 to the past year. He was
actively associated with the State Literary and Historical Society,
was President of the North Carolina Sons of the American Revolu-
tion, and was also prominently identified with the interests of the
University of North Carolina.

"It was as a State executive that Colonel Grimes excelled. In official
circles he was accorded the distinction of having the reputation as
the most efficient Secretary of State of his time. His management
of the office was so far faultless that whatever of contemplated can-
didacy in the direction of his succession developed was but tentative.
No one offered for Grimes' office with any real hope of securing it
so long as he was a candidate for reelection. The people had come
to regard him as their Secretary of State for life. He was an ele-
gant man, an official without blame, a citizen of loyal impulses, a
character so intimately entwined around the heart of the State that
it mourns because of his passing."

More especially does this loss touch the hearts of the members of
the Johnston Pettigrew Chapter for it was to his loving counsel
and to the sincerity of his judgment that the heart and mind of our
chapter turned on all matters of historical and patriotic interest
concerning the perpetuation of our heroic past.

The State has lost an honored official and useful public servant.
We have lost our personal friend, who by his splendid life added
fresh laurels to the unchallenged record of the Grimes family in
North Carolina history.

MRS. S. D. TWITTY

The pure spirit of our beloved sister, Mrs. S. D. Twitty, passed
beyond the boundary of life into the realm of eternal glory July 26,
1923. She was born July 28, 1835, so in two more days she would
have lived eighty-eight years — a long but a very beautiful life.

She early dedicated her life to God, and joined the Methodist
Episcopal Church.

When I first knew her in 1855, she was a happy young girl; when
I met her again in 1867 she wore widow's weeds for her husband
killed while fighting for our rights during the War Between the
North and South, and in all these years she never lightened her
mourning for the husband of her youth.

John Eldridge Twitty, and my friend, Sallie Drake, were married
December 31, 1863, during a furlough, after the expiration of which
he returned to his post of duty.

He was mortally wounded at the battle of Spotsylvania Courthouse
on May 12, 1864. The battlefield fell into the hands of the Fed-
erals, and the wounded were taken to Washington where he died
May 21, and was buried at Arlington Heights.

In November, 1865, Mrs. Twitty and her brother went to Wash-
ington to bring his body back to his old home, and it was identified
by her picture lying on his breast.

In 1867, we taught school together at the Warrenton Female Col-
lege where she had graduated while Hon. Daniel Turner was Presi-
dent. Afterwards we taught a private school at my home here in
Warrenton, and never a word of misunderstanding to mar our
friendship. Afterward she taught in Judge Carr's family and in
Wilson, and for twenty-five years was lady principal at President
Hobgood's school at Oxford. For more than sixty years she was
a teacher and leader of the young and was peculiarly adapted to
give the highest ideals. She was very gentle yet very firm, deeply
devoted without display, intensely religious, but broad in her views,
and detested hypocrisy.

So efficient as a teacher, so self-sacrificing always, so sympathetic
— indeed, so in love with her profession that her school-room was a
sanctuary.

Feeling the infirmities of old age, eight years ago, she gave up
her work, and made her home with her great niece, Mrs. Geo. Scog-
gin.

She was interested in every good work, and was such a good
worker in the U. D. C. that we made her our president, which office
she held until her failing eye-sight forced her to give it up.

United Daughters of the Confederacy 109

The Chapter unanimously made her honorary president for life as
an appreciation of the good work she had accomplished.

She has left us but why should we mourn —
for

There is no death! What seems so is transition.

This life of mortal breath

Is but a suburb of the life Elysian

Whose portal we call death.

MRS. J. Y. KILLIAN AND MRS. T. W. LONG

The past year has been one of great sadness among the members
of the Ransom-Sherrill Chapter of Newton. For seven years its
membership has been unbroken by the Dark Angel, but the first
six months of the year saw the mothers of three, the grandmother of
one, the husband of another, and two of our leading Daughters fall
at his dire summons. Two women who took an active part in the
work of the chapter, and who held the responsible offices of regis-
trar and treasurer. It was on a bleak afternoon in January that
the sad news came to her friends, that after a brief illness, Mrs.
J. Y. Killian (Mary Applewhite) had passed from us to a blissful
immortality. Coming to Newton as a bride, it was not long before
Mrs. Killian transferred her membership from the Scotland Neck
Chapter to that of the Ransom-Sherrill in her adopted home, and
to that chapter she was ever a loyal, devoted member, serving it as
its registrar for a number of years.

The early days of genial spring were just bursting the bonds of
chilly winter, when sweetly and peacefully the gentle spirit of Mrs.
T. W. Long (Daisy Long) took her flight to join loved ones above.
Born and reared near the home, where she passed away she now
sleeps with her dear family nearby, where her kindly spirit first
saw the light. There never lived a lovelier character than Mrs.
Long. If she had an enemy no one ever knew it. She lived and
died beloved by every one. True to herself, her friends and her
chapter. She was our loyal faithful treasurer till death took her
from us, and during her long months of illness never faltered in
her allegiance to the Daughters.

To both of the noble Daughters words fail us to pay fitting tribute,
their deeds spoke for them. Born of Confederate parents, with the
blood of Confederate soldiers in their veins, they were ever true to
the traditions of their beloved Southland. Their faces we will see
no more, and their voices will no longer be heard in our midst, but
their memories will ever live with their Chapter, and with feelings

110 Minutes of the Twenty-seventh Annual Convention

of sorrow, their Chapter offers to those mourners this faint tribute
of affection.

DR. JAMES POWER SMITH

James Power Smith was a gift of God to the Nation. He was born
on July 4, 1837, in New Athens, Ohio, whither his parents had moved
from Winchester, Va. Most of his life was spent in Virginia. For
the past few years Greensboro had claimed him as a resident, and
from here last August at the age of 86, his spirit was transferred
to its heavenly home and his body to its resting place in historic
Hollywood Cemetery, Richmond.

Full and interesting sketches could be given of him as Editor,
Author, Historian, Clerk of the Synod of Virginia for over 50 years,
a successful Minister of the Gospel and a high-toned Christian
gentleman with all the ideas and ideals of the "Old South." But at
this hour we will lay our wreaths to the memory of the brave Con-
federate Soldier — the comrade of and the last survivor of the Staff
of the immortal "Stonewall Jackson."

It was the great privilege of the Guilford Chapter to hear the
story of those days with Jackson from the lips of Dr. Smith. How
our hearts were thrilled by the recital! (Reading from Literary
Digest, September 15, 1923). Dr. Smith was a singularly fortunate
man. He had stood in battle for his country, he had served hon-
orably under a famous leader, he had been a part of events whose
renown has filled the world, he had discovered a faith that was
a lamp unto his feet and a light unto his path when earthly lights
were failing and he ended his days surrounded by the loving
care of those who were dearest to him upon earth. It was a
beautiful life — beautifully ended, and of such it may be said

"Men from tears refrain!

Honor and praise, but mourn them not."

DISTRICT REPORTS

District No. 1
Madam President and Daughters of the Confederacy :

As District Director, I take pleasure in submitting the following
report :

The McDowell Chapter, United Daughters of the Confederacy, was
hostess to the Annual District Meeting of the First District, North
Carolina Division, on Saturday, April 28, 1923.

A short informal reception was held at the home of Mrs. Eugene
Cross, after which the business session was opened in the High
School Auditorium. A most unusual and unique address of welcome
was given by Miss Margaret Winslow of the hostess Chapter, and
Mrs. E. L. McKee, of Sylva, responded in a most pleasing manner.
Interesting reports from all of the Chapters of the District, com-
munity singing, and an appropriate reading by Miss Mary Hudgins
were features of the day. During the business session a beautiful sil-
ver loving cup, valued at $70.00, was exhibited and offered by the
Asheville Chapter to that Daughter in North Carolina, who would
compile the best collection of old Southern songs of the period of
the Confederacy, giving the circumstances of the writing and the
story of the writers. The cup is the gift of Mrs. H. W. Chapin,
of Syracuse, New York, in honor of her father, Mr. Herman F.
Arnold, who transcribed the music of Dixie, played by his band at
the inauguration of Jefferson Davis, February 18, 1861. Mrs. Chapin
also gave a four years' scholarship at the Farm School in honor of
her mother, to be known as the "Victoria Arnold Scholarship."

The business session closed with the election of officers, Mrs. J. Q.
Gilkey being reelected director, and Mrs. D. F. Giles, secretary.

A luncheon was served at 1:30 o'clock, after which the ladies en-
joyed a motor ride to beautiful Lake James, ten miles away, where
an hour was enjoyed in the Club House and on the water front.

The District has:

Old members 704

New Members 84

Collections $2,621.54

Disbursements 2,236.81

116 Minutes of the Twenty-seventh Annual Convention

The District has responded generously to all appeals, including
contributions of can fruits, apples, towels and cash, to the Soldiers
Home and the Confederate Women's Home.

The District erected a memorial marker, at Waynesville, where
the last shot of the War Between the States, was fired. The mark-
ing of this historic spot, originated with the Haywood Chapter and
was promoted by the chapters of the district, with the presidents
forming the committee. The cost of the marker was two hundred
and twenty-five dollars, contributed by the chapters in the district.

The unveiling of this marker will take place October 9.

The C. of C. in this District have been very active, although
only four chapters sent reports. There are 196 members.
Respectfully submitted,

Sarah McDonald Gilkey,

Director.

District No. 2

This District is composed of Lenoir, Hickory, Newton, Statesville
and Mooresville. Am sorry to report Morganton inactive.

We have 370 active members. Fifteen new members were added
this year. All members have registered and old and new members
in chapters have paid State and general taxes. All have paid their
quota of educational fund except one which reported "about half
paid." Receipts for the district totalled $950.00. Net amount paid
to all funds as stated in report, $812.27.

The chapters have most generously remembered our Veterans at
Raleigh and aided our old ladies in Fayetteville in many ways.

At home they have given substantial aid to all needy Veterans
and have also remembered their wives with kindnesses. Hot din-
ners and luncheons have been served at different times during the
year and social entertainments provided for those who are still
hale and hearty. The widows of veterans were entertained by
one chapter and they appreciated the thoughtfulness very much.

Wreaths and flags have been provided for those who have passed
away. Sick members of the chapters have been sent cards and
flowers. The soldiers at Oteen remembered.

Seven Crosses of Honor have been given; 4 subscriptions to The
Veteran secured; 2 medals awarded; 1 Reminiscence purchased;
1 book, Women of the South, given to the library; several prizes
offered on various subjects; 75 iron crosses were placed on graves
of Confederate soldiers.

United Daughters of the Confederacy 117

We have observed all memorial days as recommended by the Di-
vision with appropriate ceremonies.

In April the District meeting was entertained at Mooresville,
"The Battle of Bentonville" Chapter being hostess. A large num-
ber attended and were most warmly welcomed. The day was
very helpful and most interesting.

In this District we have seven C. of C. Chapters. Members, 415.
New members, 205. One Chapter secured 200 new members this
year which is equivalent to eight new chapters.

The children in these chapters are faithful workers and render
invaluable aid in many ways to the mother chapters.
Respectfully submitted,

Mrs. T. A. Mott,

Director.

District No. 3
Madam President and Daughters :

The constant desire of your Chairman since the meeting at Cleve-
land Springs one year ago has been to keep in close and intimate
touch with the women of her District. In doing this, she is de-
lighted to report that without exception they are actively engaged
in splendid work.

There are 757 members in this District, to which 43 new mem-
bers have been added this year. They have raised $3,380.44, most
of which they have spent for the regular business of the organiza-
tion. All have paid their taxes, contributed to education to the
sinking fund, and responded generally to State and general calls.
They all remember the Veterans, sending them fruit and flowers
when ill, and entertaining them in various ways.

The most encouraging work of the year is the organization of two
Children's Chapters — the one at Belmont, which is prospering
mightily under joint leadership of Miss Lineberger and Miss Cran-
ford, the other at Lincolnton, where the District meeting was held
this year. This meeting was called to order on May 16, at 11 A. M.
in the Historical Memorial Hall, where a large audience had gath-
ered in spite of the unfavorable weather. Mrs. Milton Tiddy led in
prayer and Mrs. Rees welcomed the Daughters to Lincolnton in a
most gracious manner.

118 Minutes of the Twenty-seventh Annual Convention

Mrs. Wilson, of Gastonia, responded in her usual charming man-
ner. Splendid reports were read from all of the Chapters in the
District.

A most interesting paper on the Soldiers Home in Raleigh by
Miss Martha Haywood was read — some important motions were
carried, one of these being made by Mrs. Thomas Craig, of Gastonia,
that every Chapter as soon as possible contribute to the Stars and
Bars Memorial — all important U. D. C. questions were discussed.

Mrs. Cabell Smith, former President of the Virginia Division, was
honor guest and made a talk on the most important things being
done by the United Daughters of the Confederacy. She enthusias-
tically referred to the historic interest and beauty of the hall in
which the Lincolnton Chapter was entertaining its guests.

Mrs. Frank Dowd, of Charlotte led in the concert of old-fashioned
songs, and a delicious luncheon was served. The District accepted
a cordial invitation to go to Gastonia next year and be the guests
of the Chapter in that hospitable City.

Respectfully submitted,

Mrs. L. B. Newell,
Director.

District No 4

Although composed of only three chapters and therefore the
smallest District in the State, it is with pleasure that we submit
the following report:

Our District meeting was held in the Robert E. Lee Hotel, of
Winston-Salem, on May 25, with representatives from each Chapter
present. At twelve-thirty the members of the James B. Gordon
Chapter were hostesses to the officers of their chapter and all vis-
itors, at a most delightful luncheon.

After lunch the business session was held in the Orangerie of
the hotel. What we consider the most important objects for which
the U. D. C. is working were discussed by members of the District
who had made a special study of these subjects. We were honored
by having with us our State Historian, who is a member of our
District, and who, in a very entertaining way, increased our knowl-
edge about the historical work. The address of the day was given
by our beloved ex-president, Mrs. Thomas W. Wilson, and, as al-
ways, her message was a wonderful help and inspiration.

Reports from the chapters showed that good work was being
done by each one. An interesting and helpful open session was held.

United Daughters of the Confederacy 119

After adjournment the visitors were given a lovely reception by
the hostess chapter.

On May 10 memorial exercises were observed by the District, the
living Veterans were given bountiful dinners and well entertained,
while the graves of the dead were beautifully decorated.

We have sent quantities of canned fruit, apples, jellies, and pre-
serves besides forty dollars cash and two beautiful warm comforts
to the Soldiers Home and Confederate Woman's Home. Substantial
aid has also been given Veterans outside of Home.

We send flowers whenever there is a death of a Veteran or Daugh-
ter.

We have sent in three subscriptions to The Confederate Veteran
and bought ten copies of Our Book.

Last year one of our chapters won the prize of five dollars for
sending in the best expressed report of not more than one hundred
and fifty words.

Our historical report is as follows: typewritten pages, 65; printed
pages, 250; written pages, 115; pictures in schools, 2; flags in
schools, 6; and a new flag given Veterans; Reminiscences, 1; two
of the Chapters had historical programs at each meeting. Two
prizes were offered to schools. A member of our District gives the
U. D. C. scholarship prize, then we have two State prizes, one
given by a member and the other by a Chapter making five prizes
from our District.

Our three Chapters have a membership of 286. We have added
thirteen of these during the past year.

We have given the following amounts: Educational fund, $69.50,
which means the twenty-five cents per member of each chapter;
North Carolina Room at Richmond, $10.00; Jefferson Davis Monu-
ment, $40.00; Stars and Bars Memorial, $30.00; Gettysburg Monu-
ment, $2.00; Free Bed, $35.00; Confederate Women's Relief Fund,
$7.00, and Orrin Randolf Smith Scholarship, $10.00. These amounts,
with the others given, make a total of eight hundred and eighty-
two dollars and ten cents given in cash from our District, not
counting the many other valuable things given whose monetary
value we do not record.

We are one hundred per cent registered with both State and
general registrars and have paid all taxes and sinking funds.

Although our new Chapter is not registered we cannot help re-
porting that we have one organized at Sparta, with thirty enthusi-
astic women to sign the charter application and ready to begin work
with the new year. Besides this, we have a Chapter almost ready

120 Minutes of the Twenty-seventh Annual Convention

to organize in Elkin and which we hope to soon add to the active
chapter list of our Division.

Respectfully submitted,

Lura Pinley Coffey,

Director.

District No 5
Madam President and United Daughters of the Confederacy:

We beg to submit the following report:

The annual meeting of the Fifth District was held at Lexington,
N. C, May 17, 1923; the Robert E. Lee Chapter as hostess. Just
ten years ago Lexington was hostess to the First District.

A beautiful luncheon was served by the members of the Robert
E. Lee Chapter at the March Hotel, after which the business meet-
ing was held in the First Presbyterian Church.

The meeting was opened by singing America.

We were then led in prayer by Rev. Sidney Holmes, pastor of the
church. Mrs. H. L. Propst welcomed us most beautifully in behalf
of the Robert E. Lee Chapter, to which Mrs. J. E. Lambeth, of
Thomasville, gave the response. Three most delightful musical
numbers gave variety to the program.

China Grove, High Point, Lexington, Thomasville and Tar Heel
Chapter Children of Confederacy, responded to roll call, Salisbury
sent regrets and a very fine report, but nothing was heard from
Concord.

It was a great disappointment to us that our State President,
Mrs. R. P. Holt, was detained on account of illness. A telegram was
sent her conveying our love and good wishes for a speedy recovery.

The Educational Fund of twenty-five cents per capita was stressed
and each Chapter of the District urged to send this to the State
Treasurer.

The State Chairman of the Stars and Bars Memorial Committees
made a plea for this memorial and asked each Chapter to give as lib-
erally as possible to this fund so that the fountain could be un-
veiled before Convention this fall.

The amount needed for the business scholarship to be given at
N. C. C. W. by this District has never been completed. A new
committee was appointed, and urged to raise the necessary amount
so that some girl could have the use of the money by fall.

United Daughters of the Confederacy 121

The Chapter reports were most interesting and showed that good
work is being done by the Fifth District.

The District feels most grateful to Mrs. Henderson for the flag
presented by her to the District.

Mrs. J. F. Hayden, of High Point, was elected District Director.
District accepted an invitation from High Point for the meeting
of 1924. This District has six Chapters; 338 members; 17 new
members.

Respectfully submitted,

Mrs. J. F. Hayden,

Director.

District No. 6

The annual meeting of the Sixth District, of the United Daughters
of Confederacy, was held with the Chalmers Glenn chapter, Leakes-
ville-Spray, May 16, 1923. The meeting was held in the Methodist
Church. Mrs. Ben Reid welcomed the guests and Mrs. J. D. Kernodle
responded to the address of welcome. We had expected to have our
State President, Mrs. Holt, with us, but in her absence, Mrs. J.
Dolph Long, State Registrar, made a splendid talk on registration.
She explained how important and necessary the new registration
was. Mrs. Long told how the Chapter registrars should file the
Chapter blanks.

All six Chapters in the District were represented; also the four
Children's Chapters. Each Chapter had splendid reports and showed
work and interest. Altogether, it was one of the best and most
interesting meetings of the District.

Rockingham Chapter invited the District to meet in Reidsville
next year.

At 12 o'clock we were invited into the Sunday School Room
where the Local Chapter were hostesses to the District at a de-
lightful luncheon.

There are in the District, six Chapters of U. D. C, with an active
membership of 451. Fifty-seven new members were received in the
District. We have four C. of C. Chapters in the District with a
total membership of 102. I am glad to report that every Chapter
in the District is properly registered with State and General Di-
vision, and each Chapter has a complete Chapter file. We have
paid all taxes and sinking fund. We have observed all anniver-
saries and Memorial Day. We have given dinners to our Veterans
and their wives.

122 Minutes of the Twenty-seventh Annual Convention

Rockingham Chapter has paid house rent and partial support
for two Veterans. Randolph Chapter took over the care of an
invalid Veteran, and his wife, until his death, providing food, coal
and a pair of woolen blankets. Each Chapter has contributed to
the needy Veterans in some way, by sending Christmas boxes
and personal gifts.

Five prizes have been offered in the District, two through gen-
eral organization and three in State Division. Two State prizes
are given by two members of our District, value $20.00. Our his-
torical reports show two flags placed in schools, seven pictures
placed in schools, value $61.00. Books given, 52, value $106.50;
three Reminiscences, typewritten pages 34, written pages, 6; most
every Chapter reported historical meeting every month. Reports
showed 13 subscriptions to Veteran. We have given to Confederate
Woman's Home and to Soldiers Home at Raleigh.

All communications of importance coming to me during the year
have been referred to the Chapters for their consideration. Some
of the Chapters failed to give their receipts and disbursements.

District No. 7

On June 9, at Rocky River Springs, District No. 7 held a most
pleasant and profitable meeting. At 11:00 o'clock the meeting was
called to order by the leader and the session was opened by prayer,
followed by our song, "America." Miss Malry, of the Albemarle
Chapter in well chosen words, welcomed the delegates and visitors.
The absence of our State President, Mrs. Holt, also delegates from
two Chapters, was very much regretted. Those present, however,
had reports of good work and promises of greater things in the
future. Three Chapters, Albemarle, Wadesboro and Rockingham,
have live Children's Chapters and are doing a great work. Gen-
eral W. A. Smith, of Ansonville, whom we all love, was present
and delighted us with a beautiful and interesting address. Mrs.
R. E. Lee, Miss Mary Blair, Mrs. Walter Crowell and Miss Malry all
gave very instructive and entertaining talks. Mrs. Crowell urged
the chapters, adults and children, to take special interest in his-
torical work and "thereby bring up the youth of the South to
remember the heroic deeds of their ancestors."

At 1:00 o'clock lunch was served in the dining-room of the
hotel.

At the afternoon session the first thing on our program was a
memorial service conducted by Mrs. W. C. Heath of the Monroe
Chapter in honor of the members who had passed away during the
year. All the Chapters of the District have paid State and Gen-
eral taxes, and contributed to the following causes: Old Soldiers
Home, Confederate Woman's Home, North Carolina Room in Rich-
mond, Jefferson Davis Monument, Confederate Women's Relief, Stars
and Bars Memorial and Educational Fund. Special music for this
occasion was arranged and all most thoroughly enjoyed a solo, "The
Sword of Robert E. Lee" by Mrs. James Griffith. Mrs. Little led in
our patriotic songs which were an inspiration to all.

After singing "Blest Be the Tie That Binds," we adjourned to
meet again next June at either Rockingham or Laurinburg.

Mrs. R. B. Redwine,

Director.

P. Holt, President of the North Carolina Division, was guest of
honor, and gave us a splendid address on the work of the U. D. C.
She emphasized the important phases of the work in a talk which
was most instructive and helpful, creating in us a greater desire
to "carry on" with renewed interest.

The Chapters have all responded splendidly to the calls made
upon them in the various U. D. C. activities. They have been espe-
cially generous to the Woman's Confederate Home, which is lo-
cated at Fayetteville in our District. They have also given liberally
to the Veterans. The total contributions made by the several Chap-
ters during the year for all purposes amounted to $1,101.33. The

the coming year.

Our next District meeting will be held at Fairmont, on a date
to be determined later.

The Pender County Chapter was hostess to the Twelfth District
May 8, 1924. The meeting was held in the High School Auditorium;
in the absence of the director, the President, Mrs. W. I. Taylor,
presided with grace and dignity. .Mrs. Calla C. Moore responded to
the address of welcome given by Mrs. Taylor. All reports were
listened to with much attention and interest.

We were highly honored in having with us our beloved State
President, Mrs. R. P. Holt, of Rocky Mount, to direct us in all
phases of U. D. C. work and greater works of love and comfort
for our Confederate Homes for men and women. She urged us
to carry on all work along U. D. C. lines.

Mrs. John Carroll, of Warsaw, was unanimously elected to succeed
Mrs. McGee who could not serve another year. Mrs. Carroll was in-
structed to purchase a book for use of Secretary. The Chapters
composing the District were requested to contribute $1.00 each for
incidental expenses.

All Chapter reports were excellent.

A short impressive memorial session was held, Mrs. James Pierce
leading most beautifully.

Mrs. Lucius P. Best then graciously invited the District Conven-
tion to meet with the James Kenan Chapter the Spring of 1924.

Business finished, after which a most delicious lunch was served,
everybody thanking the hostess Chapter for their gracious hos-
pitality.

Messages of love and sympathy and a beautiful corsage were sent
to the absent director who couldn't attend on account of illness in
her family.

It is indeed a pleasure to report for the District eight Chapters
of U. D. C. with a membership of 648. We have only added 38 new
members this year. However we're properly registered and have
paid sinking fund. Taxes both State and General have been paid
on 632 members. There are five C. of C. Chapters in the District
with a membership of 300.

Besides the care of veterans and their wives and widows of
veterans by adoption, dinners, etc., flowers and wreaths have been
placed on graves of deceased. And through the efforts of one
Chapter free transportation for the veterans was secured to the
reunion at New Orleans.

Memorial Day and Anniversaries have been observed by Chap-
ters.

The Thirteenth District is offering two prizes this year, $10 to the
Daughter sending in the largest number of new or renewal sub-
scriptions to The Confederate Veteran at $1.50 a year and $10.00
to the District sending in best Historical Report to the State His-
torian by September 15.

The annual District meeting was most beautifully entertained by
the Wm. Dorsey Pender Chapter of Tarboro on April 4, 1923, with
Wilson, Rocky Mount, Tarboro, Nashville, Spring Hope and Mid-
dlesex being represented. Splendid reports were given by Chapters.
The Powell Banner, for the second time, went to the Jno. W. Dunham
Chapter of Wilson for the greatest increase in membership. Many
distinguished guests were present, among them our beloved State
President, Mrs. R. Philip Holt, who so graciously gave us much
needed information. The work in general was presented by different
chapter members, after which a delightful luncheon was served.
During this time the Kiwanis Orchestra played, which was much

United Daughters of the Confederacy 129

enjoyed. Col. Olds delivered an address on General Pender. At
this time the convention adjourned to the Calvary Churchyard
where the Pender Monument was unveiled. The procession was led
by the marshals carrying the old battle flags. Rock of Ages, Gen-
eral Pender's favorite hymn, was sung and Rev. Bestram Brown
prayed. As the flags were lifted from the monument by Misses
Martha and Elizabeth Pender a volley was fired by veterans of
the World War. Col. Olds gave a salute to General Pender in
behalf of his old regiment. As each was called the bearer stood
at attention. Wreathes were placed on General Pender's grave by
the Chapters in the District. Mrs. Pender's old pupils marched by
the grave and left flowers for her.

132 Minutes of the Twenty-seventh Annual Convention

It was indeed a pleasure to present our State President, Mrs.
Holt, for she needed no introduction to the Daughters, who in
her charming manner gave us an interesting and instructive talk on
the need of the work. The Halifax Light Infantry C. of C. marched
in singing "Old Homespun Dress," and presented Mrs. Holt with
flowers.

We also had the pleasure of having Mrs. Mary Battle, from Rocky
Mount, who has the Confederate Women near her heart urging us
not to forget them.

Each Chapter gave very interesting reports of their year's work.

All Chapters reported taxes and sinking fund paid and celebrated
each memorial day in very appropriate manner.

134 Minutes of the Twenty-seventh Annual Convention

District No. 16

The annual meeting of the Sixteenth District N. C. Division of
the U. D. C. met in the High School building in Gatesville, May
23, 1923. Delegates arrived by automobiles from Elizabeth City,
Hertford, Winton, Ahoskie and Edenton; Windsor and Aulander by
rail. The meeting was opened by singing: "Somewhere a Voice
is Calling" by a member of the Gatesville Chapter, followed by
Scripture reading and prayer by the Rev. M. Warner, pastor of
the Baptist Church. The Mayor then gave us a welcome to this
lovely little town that is dear to the heart of every Southern woman
because of its being the birthplace of the youngest General of the
Confederacy, Wm. P. Roberts, whose widow was with us and
whose smile fell as a benediction upon us all. The welcome to the
visiting Daughters and friends was written by the President of the
Gatesville Chapter, Mrs. W. Y. Cross, and read by Mrs. E. R. Rob-
erts, its Secretary. It was very stirring and beautiful; it begged
us to press forward with greater zeal for the up-holding of our
work and the upbuilding of ourselves as United Daughters of the
Confederacy. We missed Mrs. Cross in our midst and deeply felt
for her in her bereavement, for just a few days before all that was
mortal of her illustrious husband was laid to rest in the family
plot in the cemetery by the side of his loved ones to await the
coming of his blessed Lord, for he had long been a follower of his
meek and lowly Savior. The response to this welcome was given
by Mrs. C. D. Bell, President of the D. H. Chapter of Elizabeth
City. Mrs. Bell spoke as one inspired. She told us of our work,
our duty, ourselves and begged our loyalty to all phases of the
work. Her words were beautiful and appropriate.

Next followed the introduction of the District Director, Mrs. Ros-
well C. Bridger, of Winton, by Miss Mae Smith, of Gatesville. Mrs.
Bridger then called to order the Eleventh Annual Meeting of the
Sixteenth District. Ten Chapters comprise the District; eight
responded to roll call. Minutes of last meeting were read and
approved. Mrs. Joe Vann, of Ahoskie, Secretary of the District,
was kept home by sickness, so Mrs. B. B. Copeland, President of the
Ahoskie Chapter, was asked to serve in her place. Mrs. Bridger then
read the report of her activities for the past year. Her report was
received by a vote of thanks.

Mrs. Bridger next introduced Mrs. R. P. Holt, of Rocky Mount,
N. C, State President of the N. C. Division, U. D. C. Mrs. Holt,
in her gracious manner, told of the work both finished and un-
finished of the Division. She made an earnest appeal for Davis
Monument, Women of the South in War Times, Old Ladies' Home,

United Daughters of the Confederacy 135

Educational Work, Women's Relief Fund, Hero Fund, Endowment
Fund, Free Bed Fund and last begging the people to send the old
ladies in our Confederate Home at Fayetteville some new Victrola
records. The theme of Mrs. Holt's address was — our needs, our
successes, our failures, and in beautiful and effective words she
outlined our duty as true Daughters of the cause we love so well.
We then went back to business, committees were appointed, nomi-
nations, time and place, etc., also on hospitality. It was now draw-
ing near dinner time, and as the old soldiers had come in it was
time to shake their hands and bid them "God Speed"; then our
Mrs. Roberts extended an invitation to lunch, which was served
below in the large hall of the High School It was a bountiful
feast of good things, with cake and cream in Confederate colors as
dessert. The hall was beautifully decorated and a Victrola gave
out its sweetest notes. Just before the lunch hour the entire body
went to the Cemetery, where Mrs. Holt in a few well chosen words,
placed a wreath on the grave of General W. P. Roberts, as coming
from the District.

The afternoon session opened at 2:30 with Mrs. R. C. Bridger
in the chair. It opened by singing "America," after which Miss
Bessie Taylor, daughter of Capt. Langley T. Tayloe, of Confed-
erate fame, read us a most wonderful and inspiring paper: "U. D.
C. Appreciation of the World-Wide-War's Strength." Miss Tayloe
handled her subject in a masterly way. It was greatly enjoyed. At
this time the words of "Dixie" came floating in and we all arose
and with much feeling sang the old song through. Mrs. Bridger
then read letters from our District Historian, regretting her ina-
bility to attend, and telling us of the sickness of her mother. A
telegram of sympathy was sent Mrs. Phelps at her home in Merry
Hill, N. C. We next had reports of the different Chapters. Many
are in such a flourishing condition that they won the envy of all,
especially Elizabeth City and Aulander. Others are alive, but not
so flourishing. The District as a whole is in fine shape.

Mrs. C. R. Hinshaw, a niece of General W. P. Roberts, next enter-
tained us delightfully by singing the song, "A Dream;" then came
the crowning event of the day, when Miss M. E. Moore, of Edenton,
read her own paper, "Our Trust." Friends, I wish you could have
heard her. She was a young lady during the war and her paper
was filled with the real feeling of the thing itself. She was gra-
cious in words, graceful in manner and she won the hearts of us
all. It was now time for a report of the committees. Two invita-
tions were extended to the District — one from Edenton to meet
with them next year, the other from Aulander. As Aulander gave
way last year for Gatesville, Edenton withdrew in favor of Au-

136 Minutes of the Twenty-seventh Annual Convention

lander. So God willing, we will all be guests of Aulander in May,
1924. The date was left open. All the old officers were elected
for another year. Just here was sung the "Old North State."

Mrs. Copeland then came forward and showed those present the
beautiful ledger, beautifully inscribed in red and gold for the pres-
ervation of the records of the District meetings, as presented to
them by their Director, Mrs. R. C. Bridger. It was moved all the
old minutes be copied in the new ledger. It was seconded and car-
ried. It was also seconded and carried that we turn over to the
Division the care of the Confederate graves in the Appomattox
Cemetery. This expense has been carried by us this past year, but
we thought it best to give it up. The Chapters in the District have
responded to every endorsed call that has been made upon them,
and I now thank them all for the patience and aid they have ex-
tended me as their leader.

The official stationery used by me for the work of the District
has been given and paid for by the Aulander Chapter. Hence it
has helped me to carry on the work of the district in such an
orderly manner. I appreciate not only this act, but all acts of the
Aulander Chapter. They have been many.

May we press forward with a greater determination to carry on
the work and uphold the hands of our President.
Respectfully submitted,

Mrs. Roswell C. Bridger,

Director.

LEXINGTON— ROBT. E. LEE CHAPTER, NO. 324

The Robt. E. Lee Chapter U. D. C. has worked in such a heart-
felt way with our Confederate Veterans the past year, that we
feel we have lived in spirit with them. Our one aim now is to
give them the very best we can for we feel that their days with
us are numbered. We report regular meetings, increased attend-
ance, live interest, and respond to all calls. We observe all Me-
morial days and especially do we observe the 10th of May. We
gave a barbecue to our Veterans and had lots of good things for
them. We realized quite a nice sum from our annual bazar last
November. We also were hostesses to the Fifth District Meeting
in May. We feel in all that we have had a good year, while we
have not done great things we are alive and still working for our
dear Veterans for their comfort and pleasure.

Mrs. J. Q. Gilkey,
Chapter Leader.

MIDDLESEX— FINCH-BISSETTE CHAPTER, NO. 1797

Our financial report isn't very accurate, and I am not so sure all
is correct as Secretary was not at all meetings and a correct record

United Daughters of the Confederacy 153

wasn't always handed in so 103 or 104 is about as near as could
get at it.

MONROE— MONROE CHAPTER, NO. 766

Our Veterans are men in fairly good circumstances and haven't
needed help in any way. On Memorial Day we gave them a dinner,
and after dinner one of our leading townsmen, Maj. Heath, took
them to the Redpath Chautauqua which happened to be in session
here at that time. Maj. Heath also went with them to New Or-
leans and looked after their comfort in every way. In token of
their appreciation for his kindness they presented him with a
handsome gold pen and pencil just after the exercises on Memorial
Day.

Miss Mabel Belk was appointed to organize a Children's Chapter
but failed to do so. The year has been a pleasant one. We have

MT. OLIVE— CONFEDERATE GRAY CHAPTER, NO. 834

Confederate Gray Chapter has had a very active year. Our energy
has been directed toward having our membership re-registered, which
we accomplished. We have also been trying to pay a deficit on
markers which we have erected to our Confederate Veterans graves,
hence we have not been able to respond to every call which has come
to us as we would like to have done.

Mrs. E. N. Ricks.

President.

NEW BERN— NEW BERN CHAPTER, NO. 204

The year's work has been most gratifying. Our historical pro-
grams have been unusually interesting and instructive. One of
the most enjoyable entertainments was a benefit dinner at which
time the home Veterans were our guests. The Children of the Con-
federacy sang beautiful songs and were most attractive in a lovely
flag drill. At Christmas we sent each Veteran in our county a
year's subscription to the Confederate Veteran and also a card with
the season's greeting. Ten markers have been placed at Veterans'
graves. On the tenth of May we had Mr. A. W. McLean as our
speaker, and in the evening we gave him an informal reception.
Recently we put on a moving picture which was widely patronized.
We have a saving account of $194.71. The Daughters in the State
responded most generously to Mrs. Holt's call for aid for the New

PITTSBORO— WINNIE DAVIS CHAPTER, NO. 259

We place a floral offering on every Daughter who dies and an
evergreen wreath with large bow of red ribbon and flag, with his
name and command on every Veteran who "passes away." We
have just had a measuring party and took in $21.75, and a Spelling
Bee. We celebrated Robert E. Lee's birthday January 19, with
that of Stonewall Jackson in the High School; the school taking
part in it. On May 10 Hon. A. C. Ray of our town gave a most in-
teresting memorial address, Tributes from others also to Our Dead.
After which, to the tolling of church bells we covered their graves
with wreaths and flowers, those dead Heroes of Ours. On June
3 Hon. W. D. Siler made a wonderful speech on Jefferson Davis.
My husband Maj. Henry A. London collected a quantity of Con-
federate material with references, etc. It is a valuable collection.
From these I ask questions at Chapter meetings. I am especially
interested right now in the Confederate Navy. We will have our
Chapter Birthday party in October. The Winnie Davis Chapter is
twenty-five years old and a healthy interested Chapter. Last birth-
day they presented me, its organizer, with a tall solid silver vase in
token of their love for me and I for them.

We always ask the Commissioners to pay the expenses of the
Veterans to the reunions. Gave $2 to Lee Memorial; $1 to Davis
Highway; $2 to Cunningham Memorial; $5 for best High School
paper on Maury.

158 Minutes of the Twenty-seventh Annual Convention

RALEIGH— JOHNSTON-PETTIGREW CHAPTER, NO. 95

Year by year we grow closer to the Veterans at the Home. The
sick have become our special charges. We have a splendid com-
mittee which visits them every Wednesday carrying fruit, flowers,
magazines and candy, also supplying a birthday cake for each Vet-
eran in the hospital. We helped with the Christmas tree. Inspiring
addresses were made on January 19 and June 3. Memorial Day is
perhaps the crowning event with us, beginning with memorial
services in the morning, followed by a bountiful dinner at noon.
Fifty decorated automobiles carried the Veterans and Daughters to
the Confederate cemetery where the day was fittingly ended by an
eloquent tribute to them and the cause for which they fought. Mr.
E. S. Parker, Jr., of Graham, was the speaker. The son of a Veteran,
he spoke the language they love. From each of the five hundred
graves decorated with flowers shone a Confederate flag.

In our charge is the State appropriation of $250 a year for the
maintenance of this cemetery, the care of which has grown greatly
with the rapidly increasing number of graves. Second only to the
time we give to the living Veterans, is the time we devote to the
care of the dead. After contributing to the calls of our organization,
we adopted an Armenian, $60. On the 83d birthday of our dear friend,
Capt. S. A. Ashe, we sent to him a handsome fountain pen with lov-
ing greetings.

widening its scope and increasing its interest. To show our com-
munity of interest with the Veterans and our living pride in their
heroic and priceless inheritance, is the ritual of our organization.

During the past year, as usual Manly's Battery has devoted its
attention chiefly to the Soldiers Home in Raleigh, the last Monday
in every month having been assigned to the Battery as its visiting
day. Its members have visited the Home regularly upon this day,
carrying to the sick, fruit, flowers, candy, ice cream, and magazines
and providing some sort of amusement. We have provided cakes
and other refreshments for six birthdays, endeavoring to give to
each old man the happiness of a real home birthday party. Have
