An event Of great interest throughout
the South is the sixth annual conven-
ton Of the United Daughters of the
Confederacy. that opens at Richmond
Tomorrow morning. From the gene
raj interest manifested 1t seems safe to
say that the attendance will be greater
than at any former convention of the
organization.
An unusual feature of interest this
year will be the unwilling of the beau
tiful monument that has been erected
South's best loved daughter, Miss VIM
ME Davis, who will ever be known in
history by that loving title conferred
on her by the South, Daughter of the
Confederacy."
Action will also be taken at this con-
vention, on the suggestion that the
daughters assume the work of raising
funds for the monument to President
Jefferson Davis, at Richmond.
