the successor TO the late lsmcnted Win
ME" Davis. The Daughters Of the Con-
federacy IN Richmond win take steps to-
wards protesting against such appoint
ment claiming that there can be no 9TH
CT Daughter Of the Confedcracy. Some
OF tho Southern papers in their publica-
lions appear TO take the ground that there
should be a successor to Miss Davis and
that the only question involved is where
to place the mantle.
