The Voice dcv0tcs two columns tt
The Herald and News this week. /
has been so long in getting in its rcpl,
that the whole matter sounds lik,
| ancient history to M now. We wan
simply to quote the following from it.
| editorial:
| 1t will ho noticed that no reference |,
made IN above extract to the Count,
EScGnttVe Committee meeting. BuI
| the broad assertion il made that ",
'"nposcd submitting the liquor uucs
ton to II separate box" Nothing Is said
10 SHOW that we favored separate boxe,
In Inc county convention and State con
Vontl0n. Bear in mind, now, that thi.
controversy started about our comments
on the State campaign meeting here
and the Injustice OF The Herald ana
News Is apparent. No one would sun.
! pose from what The Herald and News
says In the extract above quoted, that
we ever voted for separate boxes. Yet
we ana vote for them In the county con.
fcnti0n and State convention. We
nopcd that 1t had sufficient sense OF
| Justice to give us credit for That we
| had done when attention was called tn
tho matter. In this We have been dis.
appointed. Instead OF so doing, and
pnttlng tho whole case impartially be.
'ore its readers, 1t now lugs IN the
county executive committee mcrlinu
Tho Herald and News will not puin
anything by such tactics, for the pno.
pie like fair play.
And to add that We do not see whcr,,-
In injustice was done the papcr or th,
editor.
Wo stated he opposed submitting the
liquor question to the voters when the
question last came up and when he had
tho opportunity to do it. We showed
this to be the facts in the case from tho
record. IL Is true That the Voice
favored the separate box in tho county
ana State conventions and IL our fail
nrc TO mention this IL Injustice to our
cotehlporary we arc sorry it was not
mentioned before, and now with plrus-
ure we 70 ord tn" fact, hut bear in mind
that after these two conventions had
adjourned, the opportunity was again
given to submit the question to the
people, and the editor of tho Voice
voted against IT.. In our report of the
proceedings we stated why he voted
That way. Really, We do not sec where
the charge OF Injustice comes in or ON
what It Is based.
We have no purpose or intention To
tho Voice or any one else.
We would not do 1t II We Thought wo
could gain by it. We have not tried
and are not trying to gain by such
methods. We arc no trimmer for gain
Ind never have been.

OF the committee. On two occasion,
recently two very important matter.
were decided with ub0ut l3 member,
absent. When the question of submit
ting a separate box to the voters of tho
county on the liquor question it WAS dc.
cided by only one majority.
When the matter Of the Long Lane
box came up it was decided by a small
majority with about thirteen members
absent.
The trouble is tho committee Is too
large and we have urged aforetimo
that tho constitution of the party should
be changed to give us one member from
each township instead of one from each
club
We do not think there has ever been
a meeting OF tho committee OF thirty-
eight when every member was present.
The business Ia generally transacted
with less than u quorum.

SECOND DAUGHTER or THE CONFED
EKACY.

Chicago, Sept. 2S.--Miss Tucy Lee
Hill, an examiner i'm the office of the
civil service commission, is the new
Daughter OF the C0nfedcracy. Her
Southern friends have conferred this
honor upon her since the death of NJ iss
Winnie Davis.
During the day she received numor-
ois congratulations ever the distin-
guishcd honor.
Miss Hill is Il native of Virginia and
comes OF one OF the Oldest and most
aristocratic families in the S ,uLh. She
Is Il distant relative Of General FiLz-
hugh Lee.
In 1893 she came to Chicago ns ono vt
the Worlds Fair commissioners from
Kentucky and since then has made
:his city her home. She has been en-
gagged in the Office Of the civil service
commissioner since last winter.
When seen today Miss Till said:
"ies, my friends In the South insist
that the mantle OF Miss Winnie Davis
shall fall upon my shoulders. You see
L nave always been considered next in
rank, and the death of Miss Davis
naturally confcrs the honor upon me.
"ln the future will be known rs tho
Daughter of the Confcdcracy. Miss
Davis and myself were chums. We
went To school together and our fnmi-
lies were intimate. My father was
General a. i. Hill, II warm personal
friend OF Jefferson Davis. My father
was killed on the last day OF the siege
or Vicksburg while fighting Mt the
head Of Il column"
Miss l.ncy Leo Hill will be pleasant
ly remembered by the members of the
Jnmes ID. Nance Camp who attended
the Confederate Veteran Reunion IN
Birmingham II few years ago. Our
good friends Coils. Schumpcrt and Cul-
breath we know remember ~ pleas
nntly. We arc sure Mrs. G.. will not be
ut all Jealous If VIC say that Col. Cul
breath wns very much charmed with
Miss Hill, and was not only very atten.
tive to her, but gave her all of his
badges, and we think two or three very
handsome bouquets. And no one coul,
censnrc him for 1t, for she Is most
charming and entertaining young wo
man. She gave those OF ua who were
fortnnatc enough to meet her am auto
graph card. Sho was by far the most
popular, most entertaining and hand
soonest woman We saw while In Bir
mingham, and that Is saying u good
deal.
She Is entitled to tho position o
Daughter OF tho Confcdcrncy since the
death OF Miss Winnie Davis, and We
most heartily second the suggestion
that she he 80 styled.

The Presidents War Map.

Not many of the Presidents visitors
are admitted to the war room. Those
who are thus favored see something
novel in the way of war planning. \
very large map has been prepared and
mounted with a wooden back. 1t shows
the Atlantic ocean with the coasts of
both sides and the islands between.
The map covers that part of the ocean
from the banks of Newfoundland to
the mouth Of the Amazon. When the
measurements are given some idea can
be formed of the scale. The length of
the map is perhaps eighteen feet and
the width is ten feet. Little paper
ships have been cut with the names
plainly printed These ships, repre-
senting the two navies, are fastened in
their places on the map with pins, and
are moved from day to day to cores
pond with the movements Of the ships.
The president, secretaries of war and
the navy, Lieut.. Gen. Schotield and
members of the war board have before
them the exact positions of the navies
up to the latest information as they
discuss the plans from day to day. The
whole game of war, so far as the At
lantic is concerned, with the locations
of the pawns is before them.

ing an apparent strengthening of the con-

officials found great comfort. moving the

this belief is their unquestioned ability

Vessels-perhaps monitors and TORPEDO

big armored fleet and great number OF
unarmored seryiceabIe craft to take care
of any reinforcement that might ATTEMPT

force that could be spared for this service
without endangering the integrity of the
blockade at Havana or permitting the es-
cape of Cervera would be much larger
