The Princess Amelia was the young
est daughter of King George III OF
England. She was always more or less
delicate and for that reason no doubt
she was an especial pet at court, and
careful and affectionate concern to all
around her. She was born at the
Queens House ON August Z, 1888.
Amelia was a very attractive girl,
and although her delicate health pre-
vented her from too close application
to her studies, she early showed skill
In music and painting and the culti-
walton of these arts became her prin-
cipal occupation. Amelia loved to sing
and dance.
The Princess was fond of out door
life. and her parents indulged this love
in providing for her ample recreation
in the way of horseback riding and
driving General Charles Fitz Roy had
been appointed by the King to attend
the Princess on her daily rides Amelia
formed at once a deep attachment for
her gallant companion, and this soon
developed into the most tender affec-
tion.
General Fitz Roy was born In 1762
He was the second son of the first Lord
southampton; was 20 years older than
the Princess, and about 3S years of
age at the time when their attach
ment began. He was extremely hand
some, with charm of manner char
acteristio of the Fitz Roys, and APP
peared much Under his age. He had
been accustomed to court life.
One of the first letters of the Princess
to General Fitz Roy, was dated Febru-
ary T. 1907. from Queens Lodge, Wind
sor:
MY dear, very beloved angel:-I do
hope / shall see you. How I long for
1t! This Is a fine day for Lord Bagots
marriage. which l hope is good
omen for him, but to me is melan-
choly, for I envy those who can marry.
shall send you some commissions to
execute for me--that is to get watch
mended. my curb chain, etc. and to get
me my snuff
IF l should meet you out, will you,
my dear love, come up to me. Remem-
Der you must come to my side of the
carriage, and l sit on the right side.
l am quite sure the Queen rejoices at
my going; to get rid of me is her OBJ
1ect on every occasion, but she hates

TROY SEEKING TO
RECOVER $4,000

Troy, September Observation-Disclosures
Pike county turns over to the city of
Troy a sum of between $4,000 and $4,000
in cash, the city will enter suit against
the county for that amount Troy pays
about one-half of the taxes of the county
and it is figured that about one-fourth of
the money collected in road taxes on
property valuations would go to the city.
1t is said that none of the amounts
have been turned over to the city, and
the city, after having had an auditor
make investigation of the matter, will
claim that the county owes the city
about $4,000. The city attorney has been
instructed to make claim before the COM
missloners' court for the amount.

The report also states that:
1.-TWO years ago we expressed the
hope that Alabama division would lead
all others in its educational work. We
hardly dared expect so early a realiza-
tion of that hope but today Alabama
division enjoys the proud distinction OF
leading all others in the value of Its
scholarships. Georgia, however, excels
us in number of scholarships, and why.
The answer Is readily given. Georgia
as a division has only six scholarships
valued at $510, while 81 are secured
and placed by chapters, one chapter
alone having 25. If Alabama chapters
would interest themselves in securing
scholarships in another year we could
excel Georgia in number, as we have
done in value of scholarships and we
beg that you give your serious thought
to this phase of United Daughter OF
Confederacy endeavor, and make 1t q
part of your chapter activities to Sc
cure scholarships from your local
schools at least, you to advertise these
scholarships through your county press
and select your beneficiaries. reporting
all such work to your state chairman
and she, in turn, to the general United
Daughters of Confederacy education
chairman.
We contemp1at ted sending appeals for
scholarships to each member of our
county board of education in the 81
counties having a high school, but upon
consideration decided to leave that
work for our chapters. Your future
action will determine the wisdom of
that decision. If proper effort was
made on part of chapters we believe
you could secure a scholarship In every
county and many of the city high
schools in Alabama, and we earnestly
beg that you make an immediate ef-
fort to secure scholarships in these,
and any other schools in your state or
county. We ask the chapters:
l. To be generous in their conrti-
buttons to our endowment fund.
@ To make an earnest effort to Sc
cure chapter scholarships in their local
and county schools
8. To assist your chairman by ad-
vertising our scholarships widely, ef-
fective]y and judiciously. We derive a
triple benefit from this advertisement
in that 1t awakens a more general In
terest in our organization, enables us
to place our scholarships worthily and
calls attention of schools, colleges and
universities to the fact that there is
a great need for these scholarships,
thereby enabling lis to secure more.

dissolved in a pint of warm milk; finally
enough -four to make a stiff sponge.
When this is light add a heaping table
spoonful of salt and another of sugar;
work in -four to make smooth and
satiny dough- After letting this rise
again, roll it out on bread board to the
thickness of half an inch; but into bis
cults, butter each on the top and place
over it another biscuit. Crowd them
slightly in the pan to keep them from
spreading and brush the tops with melted
butter. They will make their last rising
quickly and should be baked as any other
rolls would be.
