ECHOES FROM DEMoPoLIs
 IT n C. CONVENTION.

Perhaps the most interesting feature Of the meeting of the Alabama Division Of the United Daughters of the Confederacy held last Tuesday and Wednesday in Demopolis. was the presentation Of memorial portrait of Emma Samson to the Department of State Archives ana History.
 At a meeting of the Executive Board of the Division. a committee was appointed by the President to have this painting made. The committee was composed of the directors of all the Chapters in the State with Mrs. W. A. Gayle as chair man.
 MT. Samuel Hoffman of Montgomery was the artist selected to do the work and on last Wednesday evening in the Opera House in Demopolis. in the pres ence of a large audience. the beautifully completed work was presented. The pie ture rested on an easel which was placed in the centre of the stage, and was drap- ed with the flags of the Secession Capital and Sophia.

 The exercises began with appropriate music. after which in recitation by Miss Francis Terrell Rembert. she told the story of the young Alabama heroine's s brave deed.
 At fitting point in the poem. she drew the folds of the flag back and unveiled the picture. It was, startling in its living color and its human expression. The pic ture is painted from a photograph of Elm ma Samson, taken three years after she showed the bravery which will make her name and story live in her country s history. The face glows with a look of eager expectancy, self f-forgetfulness and altruism. The artist in his work ha:

REPORT OF WHITE HOUSE
 v COMMITTEE U. D. c.

The statement was made at the Con- vention in Demopolis that no report of the White House Committee had ever been made at an Alabama Division Con- vention This is erroneous. Reference to the minutes will show that at every Con- vention a report has been submitted to the Division. The following is the re- port that was submitted at the last Con- vention in Demopolis:
 Mrs. President and Daughters of the
 Confederacy:
 The White House Committee submits it's sixth annual report to the Alabama Division Convention. assembled in De- mopolis. Little practical wsrk has been accomplished within the last twelve months. and this report will come in the nature of an exhortation.
 Little has been accomplished, because at the last Convention the Committee pledged itself to beg no donations from the various Chapters. thinking their pe- cuniary burdens already great. In spite of this. the Committee has been the hap nv recipient of some contributions from the Chapters in the State. and this. in the face of the fact that some have con- tinued to work against the White House movement has indeed been encouraging. Besides these contributions. a few dimes
