Capt. J. M Falkner, chairman of the | Building Committee and of the Ways and | Means Committee of Camp Falkner' | United Confederate Veterans, which IS | building the home for Confederate vets- ! rans at Mountain Creek, has received 1 forty-five names to be placed on the ! memorial logs of the Headquarters bulid- ing.
 Accompanying each name was a contri- button of s1o to the building fund of the Home.
 This idea of marking each log with the name of some Confederate soldier and in his honor, with a memorial brass plate was the happy thought of Captain FalK- ner. It appealed particularly to the ram l flies of soldiers who had served the Con | federacy and the response was instanta- neous. In little more than week forty- l five names have been submitted with the l necessary contribution. A large number more are expected. Scores of people have | announced to Captain Falkner thelr m tention of contributing $l0 to the Home in memory of a father, husband, comrade | or brother.
 In the Headquarters building Of the Home will be kept forever a record book | containing a biographical sketch Of each man in whose honor memorial log IS | placed On the brass plate marking the | log will be placed a number. corre- spending number will in the record book 1 mark the biograp phical sketch of the sub | ject of the honor | Sunday The Advertiser printed the first | twenty-two names which will mark the | logs.

 "There are," said Captain Falkner, j'"five hundred logs in the Headquarters building. I expect a large number of contributions for the naming of the me- morial logs. A large number of people have told me of their intention of sub mitting names.
 "I expect, too, that the names of some of the noble hearted women who aided the Confederate soldier and who would | make the name of Southern womanhood illustrious will be sent in to be placed on the memorial logs. They were the better | part of the Confederate army. l shall | welcome such names and have then | placed on the emorial logs. | 'I am pleased with the number of con- trfibutlons that are coming in. We are | endeavoring to build the Home at large | cost to nobody. We are anxious to have as large number as possible participate | in the work
