TO ALL WOMEN OF THE SOUTH.
MEMORIAL TO MISS DAVIS WOULD
he TnTBUTE TO THEM

Gen. McGIashnn Believes That II the
Daughters of the COnfederaey De-
sire to Erect n Monument 10 the
Daughter of the COnfederacy" 1t
VIII BE an Expression of "A Noble
Sentiment and an Honor to All
Southern Women of War Times.
If the proposition to erect monument
to the memory of the late Miss Winnie
Davis is pushed there is no doubt that Sa-
vannah win contribute her fun share of
the necessary funds, and in addition give
to the project that spirit of enthusiasm
which viii not allow it to flag once a def
mite plan has been decided upon.
While THE Daughter of the Confed-
eracy" was not born here, the organization
that is her namesake, The Daughters of
the Confederacy," had its inception and
start In this city. The fact that the first
association of daughters of Confederate
soldiers using this distinctive title was
formed here renders ii specially fitting, 1t
is thought, that Savannah should take a
foremost place in the work of securing suf-
ticient funds to erect monument that will
be at once a monument to Miss Davis as
the distinctive daughter of the Confed-
eracy and to the organization whose
thousands of members entertain with her
the deepest devotion to the South, of the
struggle of the early sos, and those who
fought her battles at that time.
Gen. p. McGlashan, president of the
Confederate Veterans Association, eX-
pressed the opinion yesterday that it would
be very graceful tribute for the women
of the Confederacy and their daughters of
to-day TO place suitable memorial over
Miss Davis resting place. The sentiment
that would actuAte them would be recOg-
nized by all as noble and sincere The
monument, he Thought, would be tribute
not alone to Miss Davis, but to all the
women of the South, it would be IN honor
Of true womanhooG throughout Dixie ~
an appropriate recognition of the hign
character of the women Of the Confederacy
and their daughters Viewing it in this
way Gen. McGlashan regarded the senti-
ment as appealing to every one.
'If the Daughters of the Confederacy
determine to erect such a monument
said he, II have not the slightest doubt
but that they will succeed They Will
never rest until the capstone is placed and
the plan completed in every detail They
have the same spirit as their mothers OF
thirty-odd years ago.
The Sons of Confederate Veterans have
already announced their intention of erect
ing a monument to Miss Davis. Gen. Nc
Glashan's idea, and one that the Daugh-
ters of the Confederacy win doubtless
largely share, is that the latter should
at least cooperate in the movement If
not be placed at the head of it, He be-
heVes that such movement would then
take on a significance that 1t would not
otherwise possess.

SANG HYMNS AND LAID TRICKS.


Unique Commence of the Re-
building of st. Phillips Church.
The work of rebuilding st. Philips
Monumental Church began yesterday. The
old ben rang out at 7, ana the workmen
began to clear away a section of the
broken wall, and prepare for the formal
ceremony of laying the first brick.
Al II O'Clock the body of the old church
was filed with members and friends. Aft
err a short service, participated In by all
of the clergymen present, the congrega-
ton formed in line and marched, singing,
with a brick in one hand, and a piece Of
money in the other, Gathering around the
brbcklayers in this manner they were led
in prayer by one of the minister's after
which the pastor, Rev. A. A. Whitman
laid the first brick. The ministers and peo-
pie then began singing and laying brick.
The donatons-dolars, halves, quarters,
dimes, nickels-rained upon convenient
table. and the people sang and shouted for
an hour.
After the excitement Of the formal be-
ginning, most Of the crowd dispersed. but
others came. and q continuous stream of
visitors came and went all day, each com
er laying a brick and leaving a piece of
money. Rev. Whitman says II viii be his
aim to keep the work going steadily on
and also keep a stream of dollars and
dimes flowing in until it Is finished.
The members and friends of the Old
church are greatly worked up All
through the day there was shedding of
tears, shouting and singing and loud
"Amens." and no one came without bring
ing money to help on the work. AT night
many attended the feast and reception,
and a neat sum was realized for the trus-
tees. All told, The work on the church
has iuaugurated a new era in African
Methodism in Savannah. From now on
there will be work in earnest until the
church building on New street viii sur
pass its former days.
Rev. A. A. Whitman came to Savannah
little more than a year ago. At that
time the old building was a mass of
ruins, desolate and deserted. He went to
work with seven members, cleared away
the broken timbers and pies of brick and
mortar, and covering the shattered walls
temporarily, he began 10 preach, and the
people went to hear him. The church now
has 800 members, and others are joining
in groups every time services are held
The fourth Sunday in this month Bishop
H. NJ. Turner viii lay the memorial stone
in the building, which will be the coca
sion of a stir among the colored people
that being HE first time the bishop will
have visited the city since he returned
from South Africa.

How much property a man will leave
when he dies depends largely upon his
health. The man who suffers from i'll
health stands little show of being a sue
cessful business man. The man who comes
to his desk in the morning with a head
ache, who suffers all day from dullness and
drowsiness, who goes to his meals without
an appetite and losses restlessly through
the night without sleep, is not likely to
leave competence for his widow and or
phans. Success is even more dependent
upon health than upon ability.
Few men realize these truths. They
think that everything can be accomplished
by work. and that health is a secondary
consideration. Work is useless unless it is
good work, and good work is never done
save by thoroughly healthy man. DR..
P1erce's Golden Medical Discovery Is the
best OF all,health restorers and health pre-
servers. 1t makes the stomach strong and
active. 1t sends man to his meals thor
oughly hungry every time. 1t facilitates
the flow of digestive juices and makes as
sanitation perfect. 1t invigorates the liver
1t purifes the blood and fills it with the
life-giving elements of the food. 1t is the
great blood-maker and flesh builder. 1t
tears down inert, half dead tissues and
builds new, firm, muscular flesh. It does
not build fabby fat like cod liver oil ard
does not make people more corpulent,

Florence Thomas. colored, living at No.
$40 Olive street, was seriously injured last
night by Henry spellman, a negro labor
er at the Baltimore wharf. Her jaw bone
was broken, 1t was reported at the bar
racks, and she sustained other injuries.
The woman was attended by DR.. w. e.
Norton.
Cyrus Mcpherson, brother of the wo-
man, appeared at the police station and
reported the woman was fatally injured.
He said. she and spellman had had a
difficulty during the afternoon, but that
It was not serious, and he thought the
trouble was over. A report came TO his
house about s o'clock, however that
spellman had returned to the house, and,
getting into a row with the woman, used
a club on her. The detectives took charge
of the case, and as they are well acquaint-
"a with Spellman, will probably have no
trouble in readily capturing him.
