Continental Hall Fund.

Early in the session of the Thirteenth Congress the report of Continental Hall Committee will be presented by the chairman, Mrs. Fairbanks, President General U. s. D. A. R. We are sure that on this occaslon--as at former Congress- es-great interest and enthusiasm will be manifested Contributions to the building fund will again be called for and there will be many willing and generous res ponses. It is surprising to Southern Daughters" who, although they are deeply interested, but are not able to give very material aid, to see the large sums given by the Northern Daughters" some contributing s100, $500 and N.000. and the chapters respond in even more princely sums. It is the plan now for all contrf- buttons to be presented at the close of the report and usually the State Regents call out the amounts donated by the va- rious chapters of her State; of course, the Treasurer General reports all money sent her for this purpose, but 1t appears in her general report and the States thus contributing do not get the credit they should If the donations were made at the time specially devoted to Continental Hall fund ask therefore that the Ala bama chapters will send their checks to me, made out to the Treasurer General, U. s. b. A. R., and will also say flor Con- tinental Hall" We now have a valuable and eligible site (and 1t is paid for) and is by an act of Congress relieved from taxation: we also have plans (paid for) for a building to cost $50000. Each year is to be forward step towards the real ization of the earnest wish of all loyal and devoted 'iDaughters"-the erection of Continental Hall: this is to be our memorial to our Revolutionary ancestors whose patriotic and self-sacridcing ser vice and deeds we love and cherish. This year during the Congress, the corner stone will be laid. What a joyous occa- sion this will be to many "Daughterc' who have doubted as the undertaking was so great, and involved so much money. that it could ever be accomplished! The chairman of ways and means committee says: Chapter Regents should feel res ponsfbIe that their chapters contribute to this patriotic work a sum amounting at least to s5 for each member of the chapter" This is not a practicable meas ure, but each chapter can contribute, and I ask each Alabama chapter to do as generously as she can. Send your checks by your delegates or to me that they may be reported at the proper time during the Congress State Regent. South Carolina Revolutionary Rolls
