The announcement from Gen. John
B. Gordon, Grand Commander OF the
United Confederate Veterans, that
there can be no successor to Miss
" innie Davis as Daughter of the
Confederacy," has complicated mat.
tiers and there is a strong protest still
going on against Miss Lucy Lee Hill,
or Miss Anybodyelse bearing the
name. The fact that General Gordon
gave the name to Miss Davis under
peculiar circumstances will have
much weight.
