 est felt all over the south in the forming of chapters of that patriotic organization, Daughters of the Confederacy, one natu- rally is surprised to remember that there has been thus far no effort made by Ala bama women to do anything in this work, which appeals to the sympathies of all southerners. From time, to time the ob- jectS and aims of the Daughters of the Confederacy have been plainly stated in all the leading papers. In Georgia great and constantly increasing enthusiasm is felt in the order, and a very large mem bership is actively at work for the battle abbey fund. This is the case in many other states, even in those so far north as Maryland, as was shown in my columns a few weeks ago. IL seems pity, dreadful pity, that Alabama women are not doing ther part in this noble effort to perpetuate southern history and to keep forever fresh the memory of pa- triotism and heroism which were never surpassed in the annals of time. In some states the work has extended to the chil- dren of the south, who have formed chap terS for the purpose of supplementlng the work of their mothers and grand mothers. The children propose to aid in supporting the home for southern vet erans a Richmond, Va, and to assist in building a monument to President Jeffer- son Davis in Hollywood cemetery at Richmond. This order, the Children or the Confederacy, began short time ago at Alexandria, Va, and was suggested by members of the Daughters of the Con- federacy. Tie first chapter had fifty little members, ranging from few months old to 15 years. The fee is cent a month, and, as it Is expected that the order will eventually extend from Mary land to Texas, great good can be accom- plished in a way that will tax no indiV d. ual and which will afford much interest and instruction to southern children.
 It is certainly to be hoped that patriotic Alabama women in all parts of the state will begin to agitate the question of form ing chapters of the Daughters of the Con- federacy We should not do less than other women in making immortal the heroism and the glory of southern man hood.
