Mrs. Randolph Says Confeasrats Wo-

In the Confederate column we print
two articles Of unusual interest The
one is from the pen Of Richmond school
boy on The Cause Which Led To the
War Between the states" The writer,
Mr.. Maxwell uOFdUn Wallace. won the
gold medal offered by Judge George l..
Christian for the best essay on the sub.
Jet.
The other article 20 which reference is
made is a communication from Mrs Nor
man Randolph, who declares that the
Confederate women do not desire any
individual monument 20 their memory.
She well says that each monument 20
the Confederate dead In all parts of the
South is a monument in more than one
sense 10 the Confederate women, and she
makes the practical suggestion that those
who would like to contribute to cold
and lfeless marble shaft will do better to
send their contributions TO the fund
which is being raised for the Confederate
Museum. Mrs Randolph il herself true
and ueeful Confederate woman. and she
makes an eminently sensible and pPsc-
teal suggestion, which We hope will
bring practical results. - Richmond
