of Her Visit

federacy Gives an Interesting Report
OF Her Visit
! Mrs. William M. Parsley, president OF
Cape Fear Chapter, Daughters of the
Confederacy, of this city, has returned
from Richmond. Primarily she went to
! the metropolis of Virginia to transact
important business connected with the
! Daughters of the C~onfe6eracy; and
secondarily, to be present at the cere-
monies attendant upon the presenta-
ton to the Lee Camp OF Veterans, of
; Richmond, of a large, oil painting OF
the gallant General Pelham, of Ala
bama. The portrait was the gift of the
camp of sons of veterans, and the pre-
sentation speech was made by that
| sturdy old veteran Of two wars, General
| Joseph Wheeler.
Mrs. Parsley, was the guest of Mrs.
N. V. Randolph, who is very prominent
in the Daughters of the Confederacy
circles in Virginia, being president of
the city chapter and recording secre-
tary of the state division. Mrs. Parsley
| speaks in glowing terms of the con-
federate patriotism and enthusiasm of
the women of Richmond, and gives a
| very interesting and graphic description
of her trip.
The presentation of the picture of
General Pelham took place Monday at
the hall of Lee Camp, which, Mrs. Par
sley says, is fitted up handsomely and
with fine appointments. Monday night
and Tuesday General Wheeler was ten
dered several receptions.
In speaking of the confederate mus
cum, which is located in the executive
mansion of Hon. Jefferson Davis, Mrs.
Parsley highly commended the progress
made and being made. Each southern
state has a room in the museum, which
they are supposed to fit up with relics.
The largest assortments of relics are
in the Virginia room, but the best and
most valuable are in the room of Geor-
gia, which were collected, dating from
during the war to the present time, by
Mrs. D%unenne, Of Savannah, who pre-
sented them to the state of Georgia. In
this collection are a large number of
costly books. Mrs. Parsley says North
Carolina has a fairly good collection of
relics in her room, which is next to
the largest in the building. but that the
collection could be considerably i'm
proved. Each room is in charge of a
regent, and the regent Of the "Old
North State roo is Mrs. Broadnax,
a native North Carolinian.
While in Richmond Mrs. Parsley Wis
tied thegraves Of Hon. Jefferson Davis.
and Miss Winnie Davis, both Of which
she says, are constantly and well cared
for. Sunday Mrs. Parsley attended the
annual services TO the veterans at Mon
umental church. At this church a hand
some memorial window to the late Mev.
Mr.. Stickeney a North Carolinian. was
unveiled. Bishop Horner, of this state,
delivered the sermon.
Mrs. Parsley returned home Wednes-
day night.
