short and appropriate talk, introduced
the speaker. Miss Lumpkin was ac-
corded liberal applause as she advanc-

The occasion was a success in all
Lut audience. Every seat in he entire
house should have been occupied and
perhaps they would, had those who
stayed away have known what those
who went knew after listening to the
greatest address ever delivered in this
city by a woman.
Miss Lumqkin is a young woman
OF remarkable brjliiaDac and power.
Her voice is rich, deep, melodious and
at times full of pathos. She has the
power of holding the attention of her
hearers from the beginning o1 her adj
dress to the close. and makes the
hours seem to pass as minutes, and
az the close YOU go away wishing it
had lasted longer.

and ruin, of suffering and desolation
and told in words that yet linger with
us of the heroes, who followed the
flag of the old south. and of the brave
and devoted women, who guarded the
hearthstones at home while husband,
brother, father. sweetheart and friend

# was the duty of the few remaining
Survivors Of the war to furnish their
children with names of their COM

names Of the officers and story of the
battles through which they passed and
that it should be framed and hung
where the eyes Of their children and
their children's children might guard
the priceless heritage of their fathers.
She said the story of southern chrivelryI
should be taught in the schools and
preached from the pulpit.
The graceful and gifted speaker
dNelt at some length upon the ques-
ton of whitesSdpremslGS and said that
the south must fight this battle to the
last and when she stated that in this
country, with its two separate and dis
tinct races. that the white man must
work the law and that the white man
must rule, long and continuous ap-
plause rang ut from every corner OF
the house and it was sometime before
the speaker could resume her remarks.

Of being a true Georgia woman.
