HTIsToRY OF MONUMENT.


The idea of building a monument to
the Women of the ConfederacyJand thus
paying long-delayed tribute orig
ilated with the Floyd County camp,
No. 469, United Sons of Confederate
Veterans, in April of 1909 and so earn
estly did they set to work that less than
year has elapsed until the completion OF
the project. At the first meeting,
though the camp had less than score
of members present, the cost of erect
ing the monument was guaranteed by
the patriotic young members. At that
time the commander of the camp was
G. {. Harper. who has since then been
promoted to be commander of the Geor-
Eia division. The local commander Is
now P NJ Nixon. Within month the
contract was let, and the work of hew-
ing the marble from the Georgia hills
had begun.
The beauty of the sentiment and the
Appropriateness of the memorial ap-
pealed to Rome people and they volun-
teered to help in raising the $4.5C0 neces-
sary to pay for the monument. The vet
Grams of the county contributed literally,
some of the wealthy giving large sums,
and some of the pensioners giving few
dimes from their meagre store. The
knights Templar. Elks, Masons and 9TH
err fraternal orders contributed from their
treasures, and the entire amount was
easily raised.
The event of today has aroused more
than a statewide interest. From every
hand the Sons of Veterans have received
compliments for the energy and inquiries
as to their methods 1t is very probable
that the Sons of Veterans throughout the
south will take up this work; and 1t Is
confidently predicted that before many
years shall have passed, every southern
city will have a memorial to its noble
women, as most of them now have to

wednesday while well-known speakers
took part.
ROME, Ga, March 9-In the presence
of hundreds of patriotic Georgians, the
occasion marked by thrilling speeches
from distinguished men of the SOUTH
the monument erected by the Rome Sons
|, of Veterans to the memory of the Wo-
men of the Confederacy, was this af-
ternoon unveiled. 1t is a tall shaft of
snow-white Georgia marble, the enduring
expression of a beautiful sentiment; and
the first memorial of it's character in all
of these United States. for heretofore
the women of the Confederacy have been
monument builders, and have not been
appropriately honored in this way.
PROMINENT SPEAKERS.
The 3O-foot shaft stands at the corner
of Broad street and Third avenue. one
! block north of where another monument
rises to the memory of Gen. Nathan
Bedford Forrest. who saved Rome from
invasion. The cord unwilling the mon
ument was drawn after inspiring ad-
dresses had been made. Judge Moses
Wright, of Rome, and Mayor T. w.
Lipscomb, of Rome, who received the
monument on behalf of the city. Other
distinguished guests who were here for
the occasion included Gen. John o. Wad-
uel, OF CeudTJOWns I'd, VI
the Georgia division. u. c. v; Charles
c. Harper, commander of the Georgia
division, Sons of Veterans; and Miss AL
ice Baxter, of Atlanta, Ga, president
of the Georgia division, Daughters of
the Confederacy; Gen. l.. l.. Middle
brooks, Covington. Ga, commander
North Georgia brigade. u. c. V.
Each of the speakers paid tender
tribute to the virtues and the heroism
of the women of the Confederacy, and
Wed with one another in praise of her
purity, fidelity. courage and devotion.
The monument was erected by the
Georgia Granite and Marble company, of
Rome. It's base is a solid block of
of marble, 10 feet square and feet
high. This was the biggest piece of
marble ever hewn from the big quarries
at Tate, Ga. and was a carload in itself.
The shaft is 80 feet in height, and at
either side, near the base, there is a
group of figures.
One represents News From the
Front" a woman reading to her child
the news of the fathers death in battle.
The group on the east side is THE Min
istering Angel" showing a woman nurs-
ing a wounded soldier. The sculptor of
these figures was J. WOLF, of Savannah.

Nunnally's tribute is as follows:
To the Women of the Confederacy:
She was obedient to the God she adored.
And true to every vow she made to
man.
She was loyal to the country she loved
so we'll
And upon it's altar laid husband, sire
and son.
The home she loved to serve was graced
With sincerity of life and devotion of
heart.
, She reared her sons to unselfsh chlv-
airy,
And her daughters to spotless purity.
Her children delight to give her honor
And love to speak her praise.
The tribute of President Wilson is:
To the Women of the Confederacy:
Whose fidelity, whose purity. whose
courage, whose gentle genius in love and
in counsel kept the home secure. the
