Interest to Society.
by ANNIE KENDR1oK WALKER

At the annual convention of the Ala
bama division of the United Daughters of
the Confederacy, which was held in Selma
last April the delegates pledged their
chapters to the laudable work of raising
funds for the maintenance of disabled and
needy Confederate soldiers.
The task of marking the unknown graves
of the confederate dead on neglected bat
tefeds is also a work to which Alabama
Daughters have promised their support.
The silent figures that rest meath the sod
on battlefields are long ago gflded with i'm
perlshable glory, but there are many re-
manning heroes who, with their now fallen
comrades laughed at danger and scorned
death, and who, unhapply, are in dire need
for the bare necessities of life. In many
cases the confederate soldiers who once re-
sponded with quickened step to the clear
life deprived of the actual comforts of
which the physical body IS in need. Many
of them who carried their lives jauntily
on the point of their swords have since
realized that there are worse fates than
that at AppomattoX and that their COM
rades who died a soldiers death were more
fortunate than the pathetic figures which
still illumine the story of the confederacy.
1t is these pathetic and yet luminous fig
ures that are especially the care of the
Daughters, and they are bending their en-
ergies to provide an old soldiers home for
confederate veterans.
For the purpose of raising funds for the
erection of such a building and to be able
to respond to a number of appealing letters
which the chapter has received, the men,

He is a tenor of beautiful voice and man
