Controversy Settled.

Huntsville, May H-(Special.)-The con- troversy that has existed during the last few years between the Huntsville chap ters of the Daughters of the Confed- eracy and the Misses McCaley, regard ing the funds that had been raised for the Confederate monument. has been ami cally adjusted. The sum of s1047. 60 which had been accumulated for the monument fund when Miss McCalley gave up the treasurership of the chapter and which has been held by board of trustees dur ing the last three or four years. has been paid over to Mrs. Milton Humes as treasurer of the chapter. This amount will almost pay the balance due on the handsome monument that has been erect ed by the Daughters of the Confederacy in the county court yard, The matter has been taken out of the courts and the whole controversy has been settled in manner satisfactory to all parties. By resolution the Huntsville chapter has sent a statement of the matter to all of the chapters in the state.
