struggle whaeh called for the bess
manhood OF tas Southland II was
the women who had 10 s.crgnce their
loved ones on the altar o. their eour-
trr. but they had brave hearts and
amidst dread alarms. anxiety. an
guish and suffering. they eravely
bore the consequences OF the titanic
struggle.
No country on the face Of the
earth ever had q womanhcod 90 Eior-
ious. Their patriotism. loyalty and
devotion were sublime. They faced
dangers with stout hearts. They vent
through trials and hardships without
murmur. They risked desolation
and famine. They sere mlnlstering
angels to the sick and the wounded.
and the badge OF mourning they wore
for fathers. husbands and sons who
fell on the bloody fields OF battle
was the browning glory Of their forti-
tude and devotion. It Is fitting.
therefore. that the grandest monu-
ment beneath Southern skies be rear
ed to the heroines OF the strife.
The sentiment concerning the cree
ton OF monument to Confederate
women IL unanimous but there was
quite naturally some disagreement
concerning the design OF the memo
rial TO be erected. At last. however,
the design OF the memorial has been
selected. 1t Is the design Of Miss
Belle Kinney and 1t Ia in the nature
of life-size statuary. consisting OF a
group OF three flgures-the Goddess
OF Fame, Southern Woman of the
War Time. and Dying Confederate
Soldier. The following IL a brief de-
scription of Miss Kinney's design:
Fame is the central figure.
On her left Is the dying Confed-
crate soldier, with the flag drop
ped by his side, thus typifying
the Confederacy, whom Fame
grasps and supports. On her
right is the Confederate Wom-
an who shows her love for and
appreciation of the Confederacy
by laying on the soldier the
palm OF victory. While she is
doing this-unconsciouslyt to her
Fame Is browning her for her
devotion and loyalty. All the
many kinds OF loving service are
thus typified in this simple act
Of tribute to the Confederacy.
The thousand ways In which the
noble women aided the Confed-
eracy, or even the more promi-
uent ones, could not otherwise
be exemplified in a single idea"
We have nc doubt the monument
to our war heroines will be a fitting
tribute to the admiration and love of
Southern people and that the entire
South will join Loyalty and literally
in the movement to rear the monu-
ment. However grand and impos-
ing that monument is to be, 1t would
not then be typical of the grandeur
displayed in the character and hero
ism OF the Southern women who
really bore the brunt of the battles
fought during the Civil War. The
New Orleans Picayune gracefully and
fittingly expresses that sentiment in
reply which 1t made to Gen. Irvine
Walker. OF South Carolina, and Miss
Kinney, when they demonstrated
with the Picayune for criticisms it
had made concerning the monument
and the plans for Its erection. Says
