WORK OF PRESERVING
THE FIRST WHITE HOUSE
OF THE CONFEDERACY
BY ANNIE kENDRlck WALKER.

tanned by the White House association
for the specific purpose Of preserving the
White House of the confederacy, and in
default of this purpose will be returned
to the Alabama Division.
The association is constantly growing
in members. including in its membership
not only many of the most prominent
women in Alabama, but throughout the
SOUTH Mrs. Weed of Jacksonville, Fla,
ex-president of the United Division Of
the Confederacy; Mrs. Roundsayille,
president of the Georgia Division, and
distinguished women in other states.
The bill making an appropriation for
the purchase of the White House has
been passed by the legislature, and
awaits the signature of Governor jerks.
The work of raising funds will be con-
tinued through various efforts.
Very handsome souvenir spoons will be
disposed of at the confederate reunion.
The bowl of the spoon contains a pic
ture of the White House, and the handle
is ornamented with two confederate flags.
Among other souvenirs are hagstaffs
made from the wood of the crepe myrtle
trees that were nearest the room in the
White House used as library by Presi-
dent Davis, and In which many important
documents were written
Historians have frequently referred to
the president of the confederacy as he
wrote far into the night the rays of his
student light falling on pink blooms of
the crepe myrtle without and awakening
the hooking birds in the branches.
The situation was never more encourage
ing. Public sentiment throughout the
state, and the action of other states
points to a day not far distant when Ala
bama will have taken a step In keeping
with the work that now tends to the
preservation of sacred memorials
throughout the country.
In an interview with Mrs Chappell
Cory. treasurer of the White House AS
day, she says that the committee was
highly gratified at the action of the Ala
bama division toward the work of pre-
serving the White House
"At the preceding convention" said
Mrs. Cory, the money which had been
collected by the White House committee
was by a majority vote taken from the
committee and turned into the treasury
of the Alabama division. To this act, the
committee made protest holding that it
was a trust fund which could not be d.
verified, and determined to make an effort
at the Tuscaloosa convention to have
the money turned over to the White
House association. In this they were
highly successful, receiving a highly
unanimous vote from the convention to
give the money to the White House assoc
ciation."
Mrs. Cory expressed great qualification
at the increasing interest in the work
throughout the state, and she said the
White House association as well as the
members of the legislature are confident
that the bill making an appropriation will
be signed by Governor Jelks.

opening morning of the convention by the
president, Mrs. Andrew j. Dowdell, and
her brief address was prose poem.
AS a conversationalist Mrs. Clopton
hardly has an equal, and those who have
seen portions of her memoirs declare
that they rank with those of Madame
de Sevigne, Madame d Arblay, Lady Mary
WORTHY Montague or any of the cele-
brated authors of memoirs.
Mrs. Clopton, possibly more than any
other woman in the south, was in a
position to observe the brilliant panorama
of stirring events that succeeded each
other during the Confederacy, and her
observations and personal knowledge of
the leading figures of that period, to-
gether with the brilliant style of her
memoirs, will make them of great value.

the Alabama division she was prom

one occasion she wore a lovely evening
gown of white wool and lace, and one
of her afternoon toilettes was a tan,

lace.
Mrs. Chappel Cory was a lovely figure
on all occasions, her brightness and
charm of manner attracting to her a
large circle of admirers.
Mrs. j. A. Rountree and Mrs. Robert
Hemphill of Birmingham were among
the prominent women and were admired
at all the social events. On the occasion
of the reception Mrs. Rountree was a pic

MHE growing sentiment in favor Of
w preserving to the state and the
south the first White House of
the confederacy gave an added signiti-
canoe to the report of the White House
committee made at the convention of the
Alabama Division of the Daughters of
the Confederaey held the past week in
Tuscaloosa.
The report in substance showed that
this work was the first chosen by the
Alabama Division at It's organization in
Montgomery in 1896 At the meeting in
opelika the first effort was made to abol-
ish this as Alabama Division work. It
was then the committee realized the ne
cessity of expanding into an association
which would continue this great historic
work, should a second similar effort sue
coed. Notification at that time was given
that White House association would be
formed to assist the Alabama Division In
this or, to carry it forward alone, II the
division would deem II best to abolish it.
AT the Eufaula convention another eff
fort was made to abolish the preserva-
ton of the White House, but through a
brave struggle of the White House COM
mittee and the influence of warm
staunch friends, the effort to abolish
again failed and the work was continued
Knowing that another determined effort
would, third time. be made to disoontin-
ue the work, the committee growing
more averse to such trying ordeals and
deeming 1t best for all concerned, did not
attend the convention at Demopolis, but
sent a written report and left the con-
VP1fiO0 fraa 10 40
cision.
After the reading of this report a mo-
ton to abolish the work was carried.
The committee deeply regretted this ac-
ton for two reasons.
lst. Because 1t realized to be sustained
by such grand organization as the Ala
bama Division would greatly facilitate
the early accomplishment of this confed-
crate memorial, and
I'd. Because they felt assured of the uI-
innate completion Of the undertaking,
and regretted that the Alabama division
would not enjoy the distinction of giving
to the south the glorious monument of
a loved cause
will continue the work until completed.
The funds given into their safe keeping
they hold as sacred trust which can not
be diverted
Every other work of the division, al
though not the special work as was this
has received liberal donations from the
treasury of the Alabama division, This
the first and accepted continuous work.
has never received one cent from the
treasury Of the division which created it,

A recent report from G. T. Prall, one

entirely vanishes midway in Its course.
| The river is known as the Dry Fork, q
small stream in northwestern Utah,
tributary to Ashley creek. About four
teen miles from its source in the Uinta
mountains this stream reaches a large
basin or sink, whose walls are from
| 70 to 100 feet high, except on the up-
stream side. The pool is apparently bot
tomless, and the water in it revolves
with a slow, circular motion, caused
either by the Incoming waters or by
suction from below, or both. The only
visible outlet to this pool is narrow
rock channel, from which a little water
flows, but is soon lost to sight a few
hundred yards below. A measurement
u Tic main SbASohh just dDoNe the poo
showed a volume of SO cubic feet OF
water passing each second, but this en-
tire flow disappears in the basin, and
the stream bed for miles below is Der
fectly dry. About seven miles below
this interesting pool were found several
springs, one of them ia large hole
twenty feet in diameter and twent,
| feet deep, which at times are empty
and again filed with water. 1t /,

pears in the upper pool flows under
