MISS JdNlS-I0 DtSlSHdlc any CIe
Else by That Title Would be Almost u
Sacrilegc.
Reynolds~ Ga. Sept. 30.-General
John Il. Gordon, commander-in-chief of
the United Confederate Veterans, now
at his plantation near here, was shown
the Associated Press dispatch from Chi
cago. in which Miss Lucy Lee Hill
claims to have had the title Daughter
of the Confederacy," conferred upon her
by Southern friends since the death Of
Miss Winnie Davis. THE General was
asked if the title could be thus trans
fcrred and he replied with great earn
eStncSS:
"Emphatically no. Miss Winnie was
the only daughter of Jeff Davis born in
the Confederate white House" during
the life of the Confcderacy. AS Jeffer-
son Davis was the only president of the
Confederate Government. no daughter
of any other official could truthfully rep
resent the Confederacy For that reason
it would not be appropriate to call even
the daughter of General Robert Il. Lee
the Daughter Of the Confederacy. To
designate any one else as Daughter of
the Confcderacy' would not only be in
appropriate and meaningless, but would
deprive the title of all its value.
I'm the very nature of the case no
one except Miss Winnie Davis is entitled
to be called the Daughter of the Con
federacy.' That title was unique and
peculiarly her own, and is very properly
to be placed upon her tomb TO desig
nate any one else by that title would be
almost Il Sacrilcge.
'As with Jefferson Davis passed the
title of President of the Confederacy, so
with Miss Winnie has passed that of
.Dnnghtcr of the COnfederacy.
