| Editor OF the T1meS-Olepatcn't
| sr,-The statement has been often
made in Richmond recently that with all
the work done in the city for tho Con-
federato veterans. little or nothing has
been accomplished Ia behalf OF the needy
Confederate woman.
TO refute this statement we have been
requ ted, at recent meeting OF Leo
Camp Auxiliary, to give TO the public.
! through tho medium Of the press. brief
and concise account OF the purpose for
Which Lee Camp Auxiliary was organ
lied and the object for which It has
labored unremittingly during twenty
years. a6a
It was formed soon after tho close Of
the Confederate Bazaar. held at Rich
mond In the spring OF 1884, and was the
outcome of a conviction on the part OF
the members Of Lee Camp that help
should come through themselves and their
representatives in the Ladies Auxlllary,
to the INDECENT families OF Confederate
soldiers.
Since then the camp has contributed
the sum Of one thousand dollars annu-
has been added to In a small way by
dues OF ten cents a month from active
m ON bers. and TWEEN ty-flve cents a month
from registered members Of the auxiliary.
Since 1884 the work OF aiding needy
Confederat to women and their families has
been carried on winter and summer. night
and day without cessa ton. In the winter
Of 1893, when many families were thrown
out Of employment, the auxiliary sent
throughout the State an appeal for help
in the way Of provisions. that were de-
livered by tho railroads FREQ OF charge.
BY this method the ladies were enabled
to issue supplies tr-weckly for three
months to, at least, one hundred families.
Lee Camp Auxiliary also furnished two
beds in the Old Dominion Hospital. where
needy Confederate women were treated
ana restored to health IN many I'M stances.
Ten years ago Lee Camp called a COM
mittce OF the auxiliary and proposed erect
ing a homo for Confederate women. In
reply tho auxiliary pointed out the fact
that every woman in the already eBtab-.
llshcd homes In Richmond was needy
Confederate, and that the work OF the
auxiliary was In the homes OF such. so
the idea was abandoned as unnecessary.
Lee Camp, however purchased lovely
spot In Rlvervie'w Cemetery as q burial
place for such needy Confederate women
as were without a section OF their own.

shrouded the forms Of needy Confederate
women, and seen to their being laid de-

alec Camp Auxiliary continues2lt Its work
with only one annual public appeal bong
made, and that at the Christmas season,
for free will offerings. Many private
individuals have. however, been the gen.

SNAKES TERRORIZE
 A JERSEY VILLAGE

New York, July g.. Rutherford Stuyyesant is building "a macadamized road through the mountain near Wash ington, N J.. and the heavy blasting has caused snakes in the hills to mi grate down into Allamuchy village. There are rattlers. adders, copper heads and every known variety of To- cal snake, great and small, in such numbers that the little village is al- most afraid to venture out of doors or into it's cellars.
 Every man. woman and child car ries club. and the snake stories they tell are wonderful. Peter MowT,y, going to see his "best girl'' the other night, saw five rSttlers, killed all of them and is making necklace of the rattles for his lady love.
 Along the main street of the village the snakes are so numerous after a big blast up the 4ill that all the store keepers close up shop and go out for a snake-killing bee. All the church goers carried clubs Sunday morning They piled them up like cordwood in the lobby. and each carefully took his stick when he started for home
 Some of the old residents know charms that they say are sure protec- ton against snakes, and they are try ing them now.
