The delegates regretted the un-
avoidublo absence of thoir secretary,
who, however, forwarded her books
and papers, and with Mrs. August
konn, of Columbia, as secretary, tho
important possibilities Of this
Office received admirable attention.
Tho following committee on Gre
dcntinls was appointed, which made
prompt report: Mrs, Long, of Green
villo; Mrs. Simpson, Of Luurens;
Mrs. Vandiver, of Anderson; Miss
Hames, Of Joncsvillc; Miss Poppen-
helm, Of Charleston.
Routine business was rapidly dis
! patched. OF course, if there was

this immediately stopped at the
sound Of the gavel of madame pres

SPIRIT OF TIE DELEGATES.
These wt.mon meet for work aud
one who is only more looker-on can
see that Intelligent, earnest and low
ing consideration is given to tho
great work which they are to perpet-
uate forever From the halIowed
quiet of the past they will gather and
! faithfully send through "the corri-
dors of time" the grand struggle
made by Confederate heroes. This,
now, is the hope unconquerable that
is theirs; this the invioluble shade,
though it belongs to the almost in.
tangible realm Of memory.
With this work will blend those
entertainments and diversions that
cultured hospitable people are glad
to give to such congenial and hon
ored guests.

REPORTS FROM TIE CHAPTERS.
A good idea of some Of the work
done by these noble women may be
gathered from the reports submitted
by the various chapters. These tell
of courage and love and faithfulness;
they show work for money to relieve
suffering and destitute Veterans;
they study history relating to the
war and offer medals for the best es-
says on this subject from the school
children; thoy celebrate the birthday
of Davis, Lee and Hampton; they
give crosses Of honor to heroes; they
deny themselves to place stones on
the lowly and unmarked graves Of
our fallen heroos; they combine all
the neutrality-suspicious. and sad
/ hot l,nl TO
A reception, largely attended and
most pleasant, was gwen the dele

calendar, prepared by Miss Popen-
holm is ready now and the conven
ton and Daughters generally will
use quite number.
All the reports from the various
chapters showed that fine work was
being done towards erecting mon,
ument to Jefferson Davis, first and
only President of tho Southern Con-
federacy. Everything has been we'll
done by Sumter and her citizens in
arranging for this occasion. The
programes are as fine HI are gener-
ally seen anywhere and all details
have been admirably managed.
Good work is being done, work that
would bring reaults Of vast impor
tance if every Interested ono only
knew it's scope.
