Ladies OF the Convention:
In all ages OF the world. every civil
lied State has sought to perpetuate
the memory or those who have con-
rlbuted 10 its prosperity and enoWn
Hence has arisen the CUSTOM of pre-
serving in buildings designed for the
purpose, the portraits on canvas and
statues in brOnze and marble Of those
who have illustrated upon the battle
field the yalor and heroism of the
people Of the land Of their birth and
who in time OF peace have advanced
civilization and adorned society by the
cultivation and practice of those vir-
tues which ever charm and delight.
1t Is well hat it is so. A nations
gratitude 90 manifested to the moral
and intellectual advancement of its
citizens and stimulates them to deeds
OF patriotic endeayor. Many of these
buildings so designed as a resting
place for the good and great have
been beautified and adorned by the
painter and sculptOr's ighes art end

before them with awe and delight.
In our sister State of Virginia. in
the CITY of Richmond, made famous
bY the memories which cluster around
II and which Will ever attend the
brave ard heroic in every land is .
building neither imposing in appear-
ance nof splendid in its dimensions.
It was the home of Jefferson Davis
the President and embodiment Of the
SoutiIerE C|onfederacy in that he rep
presented its sternest valor and exalt-
cd patriotism. It is dedicated 70 the
.~oniederate soldier. to his valor and
70 his glory. There is an
ness IN the selection of this building
loT the purpose intended which the
vulgar and common mind would
neither grasp nor comprehend.
t is the Temple of Fame Of the
South, for there can be fond tbe ~
mentoes of the great deeds of the SOL
dlefs. Upon its walls will hang the
portraits n within its inches will he
paced the statues of those who have
psst i'Instrated its valor and adorn-
cd It's citizenship. Within this build
ms space has been allowed for each
one of the Confederate States. To he
deemed worthy of a resting place
WITHIN its portals after death is an
honor great and illustrious. To be
h,:e'sI whist living as worthy of
this distinction is a manifestation Of
t"Slfd and esteem rarely won and
never by the unworthy. That token
Of highest appreciation, of sincere adj
mlration and affection has been ten
dered to General Julian S. Carr Of
North Carolina.
nave been requested by the North
carolina Division of the United
Daughters of the Co%nfederacy to pre-
seEt his portrait which has been I'M
ton now in session, that it nay be
placed by its order and under its care
~ the North Carolina room in the
building IN Richmond, intended only
for those who have kept the faith
with their own conscience and with
the dead heroes whom the South sent
TO the battlefield. IT affords me VERY
great and unalloyed pleasure TO pre-
sent to YOU this portrait of General
Carr for the purpose intended.
in the short space of time which /
necessarily allow myself upon
this pleasant occasion, it would be
idle for me to attempt a delineation
OF the characteristics of one of the
best beloved OF all North C~arolinians
and n of the most eminent of her
citizens.L shall only detain YOU for d
few moments to mention one attribute
of his character. which has been the
paramount cause of the tribute of love
and respect which has been rendered
unto him.
1t is not his capacity for business
and finance, although recognized by
all to be of the highest order and
which has brought to him great sue
cess. 1t is not his thorough inforna-
ton and intimate acquaintance with
affairs of State, although he ranks
with the foremost of the public men
of North Carolina. It is not his un-
failing charity to the poor. the weak
and helpless, which has carried JOY
and 5ladness to many an humble
home. IT is not the public spirit
which Gov onfrp foe hir, and has
caused him to endow schools. col
leges and churches. whenever the oc-
casion demanded. 1t is not his great
and marked love for North Carolina,
for whose glory he has ever been
ready for a sacrifice of his own per
soaal interests. No; not these nor
other splendid elements Of character
hic would lave won for him the
affection of any people.
It is his love for the Confederate
soldier. his kindness to those still l1V-
ing and his devotion to the
of those who are dead. This has been
a cardinal feature of his character IN
which he has no equal in North caro-
lima and l am mote TO say IN TINS
republic.
rejoice to believe that there lives
NOT in this state a single man who
knows General Carr who will not feel
gratihed that this nigh r has been
conferred upon him.
* make their pious pilgrimage to the
city of Richmond and visit the build
ing in which this portrait VIII pc
oIaced: may they be taught the stois
- tho unselfiSh love of General Julian
s carr fo- the Confederate soldier
and learn to emulate the virtues when
Rave characterized his life. Wnlch
have elevated humanity n reflected
honor upon the State which gave NM
birth.
