DAUGHTERS Of CONFEDERACy MEETING ENDS
Bill viii Be Introduced in Legislature
to Erect Memorials on Civil
War Battletieds.

Fort Worth, TeX.-Daughters OF the
Confederacy terminated their annual
convention Friday in perfect harmony,
returning to office virtually the en-
tire administration Of the last twelve
months, and through resolution re-
newing their allegiance to each other
and to the work to which they are all
in common devoted.
Officers elected are: President,
Mrs Hal w. Greer of Beaumont; first
vice president, Mrs. Mabel Mussey

Huntsville; custodian, Mrs. w. T.
Wroe Of Austin; recorder of crosses
of honor, Mrs. w. P Baugh of San
Antonio; poet laureate, Mrs. E. E.

An important work of the conven-
ton came about through the effort OF
Miss Decca Lamar West, acting upon
an address made to the daughters by
Captain B. B. Paddock of Fort Worth,
member-elect of the ensuing legisla.
ture. One of Captain Paddock's hob.
bies has been proper representation OF
Texas on the battlefields of the civil

parks. The State of Texas is the only
State in the Union, North or South
that has not yet placed in these parks
memorials to the soldiers Of Texas
who died there. The first bill Cap
tain Paddock will introduce when he
takes his seat will provide for the
appointment of a commission by the
governor to select locations and sign
contracts for the erection of monu
ments to Texas soldiers in all the ma
tional parks 1t will, of course, carry
with it sufficient funds to do The
8 work intended.
1t was brought out that for a Ions
