UNITED DAUGHTERS
 OF THE CONFEDERACY.

 Guarbood was the successful sculptor.
 The completed arch will have a height of sixty-ffve feet, a width of seventy feet and q breadth of twenty-four feet. The archway is to be twenty-five feet wide and forty feet high in the clear, The entire arch is to be constructed of the finest Southern granite, and to have an interior stairway leading to the top. The sculptor has adopted the Corinthian style of architecture as being most in harmony with the prevailing style in the South, as well as especially adapted to express the purposes of the arch.
 The intended ornamentation has been only generally expressed in the model sub mitted, the smaller details of ornamental work being too difficult to execute in so small a modei. The commentators in volved in the various inscriptions in rais- ed letter are absent; these in themselves will serve to further embellish the arch.
 Two bronze figures are to be placed on either end of the arch, and will be sym bolicai of fame and the cause for which the South fought, and are to be more than twice iife-size.
 The sculptor has sndeavored to express in his work the life of Jefferson Davis. ~~-'~- principles which he represented.
 In the spandrels, two on each side of the arch, will be placed four bas-reliefs, representing Glory, Truth, Justice and valor. These further illustrate Mir. Da- vis's life as compared with his people. The figure Glory represents the glory won by Jefferson Davis and the people of the Confederate States during the most try ing period of their history; the figure Truth represents their united devotion to the cause which they championed; Jus tice represents the unswerving belief in the righteousness of their cause and the justice of the struggle; Valor represents the many deeds of heroism of Jefferson Davis and his people both in their homes and in the field.
 The thirteen seals in the attic represent the Confederate States. the central one being the seal of the Confederacy, while upon the five low relief panels in the attic and upon the two panels in the arch way will be inscribed such tributes to Jefferson Davis as may be chosen by the committee.
 And now, Veterans, redeem your pledges made at Louisville and again at Mem phis. We have 900 in bank in the hands of a bonded treasurer, drawing an interest of per cent Surely there are in all of our proud lands 35,000 people who can and will give $l, or sums no mat ter how small, and in 1904 our monument will be completed, our honor sustained and you will meet in Richmond to dedi- cate to the only President of the Confed- crate States a memorial you will not be ashamed of.
