A Confederate Monument to the Ne.
grOeS.
From Charleston News and Courier

From Charleston News and Courier.
A correspondent of the Woman's
National Daily, of ST. Louis. Mo,
writes IN a very interesting and ap-
preclatlVe way about the recent
great reunion of the Confederate vet
Grams in Richmond. THE next mon
.ument we build" said one of the
correspondent will be to the old
nanny OF the South, who STAYED
with the women and children and
helped to take care of them when all
the men were away and who remain
ed even afte: the Negro men desert
ed. She was the friend of the
Southern women and deserves a
monument"
This sentiment will appeal, we are
sure, to the heart Of the South. The
relations between the old masters
and their slaves were generally OF
the kindliest character, and. there
was no break in the true friendship
existing among them until the stran-
ger diligently sOwed the seeds of dis
senSion and distrust.
The "old nanny" of the South is
worthy Of honor. She filled a
unique place in the social economy
or the South, and deserves to be held
In remembrance as one Of the mos;
faithful and pathetic figures in the
history Of this part of the country.
1t Is not to be expected that the out
side barbarian3 should know her or
appreciate her. She was a creation
or Southern ciViliZation-the highest
civilization OF the New World-and
when she passed out great deal was
iCSit in the life of the South. 1t is
hoped that the Daughters Of the Con
federacy will carry out their purpose
TO build memorial in her honor
and II 1t is to be done it must be
done quickly. We are getting away
rapidly from the past, and before the
memories Of the historic South are
lost forever some memorial pile
built by the contributions of those
who do not forget, should be set up
as sign to all succeeding geneva
tons that the South is not unmind-
full or the fidelity with which the "old
nanny" filled her place.
More than one monument has al
| ready been erected in the South to
faithful colored folk. There stands
! at Fort Mill, S. c., an imposing
shaft by Cap. S. E. White, brave
Confederate soldier, to the Negroes

little, the old and the young,

neighbor of the community, were there
to tender congratulations to their host,
to pass the good word with one another
and to pay homage to the sumptuous
feast 1t was probably the largest
assemblage of people that ever gathered

afternoon that the last of the feasters

essary that the example of the disciples
in gathering up the loaves and fishes at

FEAST FIT FOR THE GODS AND q

400 People of The EaSOn Community Gather Together at Brhda,

The multitude that partook of dinner
at the home of Mr.. John ii. Sanders, of

day did not rival numerically the null
titude at the Sea OF Galilee, of biblical
history, but the seven loaves and fishes
that satisfied the hunger of that vast
assemblage would have failed of their
purpose at Sundays gathering unless
a like miracle we're performed.
When it is stated that guests dropping
in upon a neighbor to celebrate his
birthday anniversary had eaten a $50
pound hog and several coops of promis-
ing young roosters, gizzards and all,
besides diminishing the pantries there
abouts, Breckenridge county would GER

1t is colonial bed, and the interest that

is remarkably preserved. 1t is of solid
walnut and makes a unique addition to

Mrs. Babbage greatly prizes it from the

SUGGESTS
TOBACCO
WAREHOUSE
For CIOverpOrt, Owned
and Controlled By
Farmers.

That a tobacco warehouse built in
Cloverport by the farmers and a local
market for the weed established, would
be the biggest boom that could come to
the tobacco growers of this section, is
the opinion expressed by Mr.. John H.
Phelon, the well.known tobaeconist of
this city.
Mr.. Phelon, in speaking of the matter
to The News, outlined the plan as sug-
gested by him as follows: That the far
mers build a warehouse of sufficient di-
mensions to house comfortably any
quantity of tobacco, employ on a salary
an expert rehandler to sort the various
types and otherwise get it into the prop
er and most advantageous condition for
selling. A local market could easily be
established, as buyers would come here
when informed of an opportunity to
make purchase. Mr.. Phelon is conf
dent that big local market could be es-
tablshed in Cloverport, resulting in
higher prices to the farmers and better
general satisfaction.
In substantiation of his last theory
Mr.. Phelon says that he never enters
his tobacco upon the breaks in Louisville
but that he sells direct to buyers who
come to his warehouse. Only last week
he disposed Of eighty-two hogsheads of
the weed to a representative of an
English firm at prices ahead Of what is
realized on the breaks.
