THE SOUTHERN VETS
General Lee Gives His Friends Advice
and Makes Report.
MISS DAVIS RECEPTION
Or. Jones, the Fighting Parson,
Makes a Rousing Speech In
Favor Of the Monument
to the Leader.

Houston, Tex. May 23-The weather
was clear and bracing this morning,
but the streets too sloppy for the pa
rade Of the United Confederate Veter-
ans, which was postponed until to-
morrow. The question before the asso-
citation is plan TO provide permanent
headquarters in which TO keep the rec
ords and everything Of value relating
to the confederacy. Charles p. Rouse.
a wealthy New Yorker. formerly OF
Virginia, will endow such an institu-
tion handsomely.
Miss Winnie Davis was given a re-
ception at the Capitol hotel this morn
ing by Mrs. William Rice. and tonight
a party in her honor will be given by
Mrs. S. X. McIlheny.
At to-day's session Of the Confeder-
ate association. the following report by
Gen. Stephen d. Lee was adopted: 1--WE
cannot too strongly urge upon our peo-
pie the great Importance of avoiding as
far as possible the purchasing and dis
semlnating of books and literature
which are unkind and unfair to the
South. which belittle it's achievements.
impugn our motives and malign the
character Of our illustrious leaders.
"The example Of this kind Of litera-
ture is the Encyclopedia Brittanica.
While the work is Of exceptional merit
in many particulars. II abounds in such
n distortion Of historical facts in refer
ence to the South as could have eman-
ated only from ignorance or malignity.
Yet a more fragrant example of this
kind Is the reprint now being adver-
tised i'm Southern newspapers"
In the Davis monument fund the
cash balance on hand was shown to be
1851. Rev. DIR. j. w. Jones. the fight
ing parson Of Virginia. made a rous-
ing speech I'm favor the monument. In
conclusion he said: Let US make sure
OF this monument before we pass
away. We fought for principle; we
thought we were right then; we know
we were right now. Now don't any
body go away and say that 1 made a
rebellious speech. 1 am no rebel; I
never was a rebel George Washing
ton was a rebel. for he fought against
