A great many camps made liberal sub scriptions for this fund at the last re- union. If any of these have not yet re mitted, they are urged to raise the money-the full amount-and remit 1t at once.
 Campss which have not subscribed are asked to make subscription, and pay it as soon as possible No member oi our organization can afford to be found missing from the roll of contributors to this grand cause. The Commander-in- Chief believes that we have not single member who is not only willing but anx- ious to do so. No cause was ever pre- serted to the sons of Southern men that should more strongly appear to them and we should show, at once, Tn this, that we stil have the chivairic spirit of our fathers.
 Women's Memorial is James Mann, ESQ., Nottoway, Va. Subscriptions and remit tances should be sent to him, or to the committeeman of the division from which sent
 We should have slO,OOO reported in hand at the next reunion. Every member or our organization should contribute at least one dollar to the fund. Many and several individual comrades have given from $l0 to $100 each.
 A practical Southern woman. who With holds her name has suggested that in- stead of erecting the proposed monuments to the memory of Southern neroines tnas the Sons undertake the establishment or an industrial school. and sets forth her views in the following clear. concise way:
 With characteristic gallantry the Con federate soldiers have agitated the sub ject of erecting a monument to the wo- men of the South. While this Is entirely laudable and praiseworthy. would ike to suggest a monument which believe Southern women would appreciate more than any creation of marble or bronze, to oufl enduring It is this-the erection of an industrial school in the central South for the children of ex-Confederates who have never regatneo their lost means and are unable to eau cate and fit their children for positions in life. so, ored and their children benefited and a crying need of the South be filled. If we
 want our children educated, we must Ger

I believe If left | to vote, the women would vote unani- mously for the school.

 T wish to call attention'to children . card game. in which false history is taught. a game which Is being sold for 10 cents here in Virginia, and I suppose been bought as a Christmas gift by un- suspecting Southern parents. It does not
 deal exclusively with the war between the States. and some of the information given has an appearance of fairness; It is published by Parker Brothers. Salem. Mass.
 Questions about the revolution are mix ed up with those about the war against the South. and there are some few Ques- tions on other points in American his tory. But the children are told that '5O.' 900 Union soldiers were confined in An dersonville without shelter and proper food and no word is spoken of the real causes of the hardships of Andersonville, whatever they were, and of the inexcus- able privatiops and sufferings inflicted up on the Confederates in Northern pris- ons. The children are taught that the Monitor defeated the ''Merrimac, :" when it was the Virginia" 9ormerly and revolutionized the naval architecture of the world. The children are taught that Sheridan was the leading cavalry general of the civil war. with his famous
 
 miles through hostile country" Is held up for their admiration. Two of the most - names In the history of civilized warfare are here set down as those of heroes. Though the war is spoken of in general as the "civil war" in one place 1t is designated by that insolent term rebellion" and Andrew Jackson's 6 achievements are summed up by these words ''who put down secession In South Carolina in 1882" Here Is as fragrant an historical falsehood as can be found any where But 1t Is now taught In the pop ular Northern histories of Andrew Jackson.
 Is there no prospect of getting the Game of Confederate Heroes" reduced in price so that 1t can compete with this cheap Yankee game? I am sure many Southern mothers would like to buy 1t for their children. and would give 5 cents for 1t rather than pay 10 cents for the Yankee game, but they cannot afford to pay 50 cents.
 The Game of Confederate Heroes Is about as nearly perfect as was ever seen. The price is high, but the first edition is too expensive for reduction. Besides. the author contributed her work entirely and bought many packages at the full price in order that every cent of profit be a contribution to the Sam Davis Monument Fund. The supply is now quite low. and there may not be another edition,
