MEETING GOING TO Be WARM
DAUGHTERS OF THE CONFED-
ERACY WILL TRY TO LOCATE
THE MONUMENT AGAIN.

Mrs. M. J. Yeomans, who is now
IN Atlanta, has been appointed to
represent the Dawson chapter of the
Daughters of the Confederacy at the
convention which will meet in At
lanta Thursday.
me purpose of the meeting, that
OF finally determining the location
OF the WirZ monument, is well I'M
derstood and the session will be a
spirited one.
In advance of the meeting the dis
cusslon of the subject among the
members has reached an acute
Phase. The Columbus and Macon
daughters" are glazing at each
other through the prints. and it is
said there might be some sharp talk
were they to meet
report has it that the Augusta,
savannah and Columbus contingents
viii be lined up against those from
Atlanta and Macon.
Inc smaller chapters may there
tore, hold the balance of power.
Andersonville May Land It.
There is a we'll defined belief that
an attempt will be made to reverse
the action taken at Savannah in
placing the Wirz monument in Rich
mond, and that the same resolution
Will carry rider locating it at An
Jacksonville.
1t is said to be the plan of those
VINO favor unreasonable to rush
through such a resolution and thon
adjourn.
The tension is indicated by the
fact that about one-third of the del
egates to the convention have OBJ
stinately refused to accept the hos
pltality which has been provided for
them by the Atlanta reception COM
mlttee, preferring to stop elsewhere.
The Matter in TangIe.
This fact indicates strained rela-
lions, and while it all grows out of
the Wirz dispute it is said it would
take Philadelphia lawyer to I'M
tangle the web of detail in which
the disturbance is enmeshed
There will be those who want the
monument in Richmond, as decided
by the Savannah convention. 9th
Iers are for Americas, others for Ma
con, but the Andersonville contin.
gent is strong and determined.
Atlanta wants the monument, oh
so badly, but its presence there
might tend to hurt business.
Bad Business for Atlanta.
Atlanta, as is we'll known, is a. sort
OF cosmopolitan city; there are about
as many people in it from other sec
lions of the country as there are
native GeOrgians, and many of them
are from the north. One of the
largest Grand Army posts in the
south is located in Atlanta.
Quietly but determinedly leaders
among this latter element have pro-
tested against the location of the
W1rz monument in Atlanta.
In any event there is no question
about one thing, and that is the
/ meeting of the Daughters on Thurs
day will be a lively one.

course she did not hear it.
