Interesting exercises marked the
meeting OF A. p. Hill Camp of Confed-
crate Veterans last night the occasion
being the presentation to the camp
by Mrs. William c. Smith, of Nash
Vile, Tenn, of a remnant of the flag
staff Of the Twelfth Virginia Regiment.
Mahone's Brigade, which had been borne
by her husband. the late Col. William
c. Smith, in the brigade's famous
charge in the Battle of the Crater. In
Colonel Chen Ensign) Smiths hands
the flag of the regiment was torn and
riddled by the enemy's bullets. and the
staff was shot in two, and the remnant
which was presented last night was
sacredly preserved Colonel Smith,
Regiment of Volunteers. subsequently
fell on the firing line in the Philip
pines.
The presentation address last night
was delivered by Richard B. Davis a
veteran of the Twelfth Regiment. who
followed the flag in the Battle of the
Crater and on other fields of strife.
His address was one of special inter-
est, and of historic value. containing
as it did a graphic description of the
charge and battle. and of scenes and
incidents witnessed by him.
The address of acceptance on behalf
of the camp was delivered by Robert
Gllilam, ST., who embraced In his
speech the reading of. "A letter written
by Colonel Smith, containing de-
scription OF scenes and Incidents OF the
battle and history of the flag. The
flag carried into the Battle Of tho
Crater was comparatively new and un-
touched by bullet of the enemy. The
old flag had been so badly torn in
battle that it had been put away for
safelSeeping. In the Battle of the
Crater the new flag was literally rid
died by bullets and the staff shat
tered. having been struck by three
balls. 1t was thrice planted on tho
captured works and as many times
shot down. Examination after the bat
tie showed that the flag had been
pierced by seventy-five shots and that
the staff had been struck nine times
The flag was subsequently transferred
to the staff OF a flag captured from the
enemy. and was thus carried until the
surrender at Appomattox. The rem
nant of the old Twelfth's staff was kept
by Colonel Smith as u sacred relic, and
was preserved by Mrs. Smith.
The camp, after the reading OF the
letter. on motion of Mr.. Gillian, gave
unanimous vote of thanks to Mrs.
Smith for her gift, with the assurance
that II should be sacredly cherished.
Brief addresses were also delivered
by ST. George Bryan. George W. Hull,
past commander Of the Departments of
California and Nevada. and Mr.. James,
r Northern visitor. Other features
marked the evenings exercises.

The cut Of the monument given here is
facing the north. The immense bronze
statues over the north entrance represent
Lee and Grant shaking hands and behind
them is the Spirit of Peace. Over the door
ON the south will be northern and south
ern soldier supporting United States Flag.
The group ON the West portrays Opportnn-
ity and Progress, while on the East the
bronze statues represent Prosperity. The
bronze work of the monument will be exc
cuted by the well known Sculptor, Frank
C. Hubbard, of Chicago.
The winged figure of Peace on top of the
monument is eighteen feet in heighth, and
she is holding aIoft in one hand palm
branch while i'm the other hand she has a
wreath of myrtle and olive leaves.
A more fitting location for this Peace
monument could not have been selected
as Fitzgerald in the heart Of the South,
was built as a northern soldiers
town but at this time the population is
about evenly divided between yankees
and crackers. The Blue and Gray Assoc
citation came into existence in Fitzgerald
and surely this is the logical place for
memorial symbolizing peace and re-
united country.
The monument will be constructed OF
granite, bronze and glass and the approx
mate cost will be $50, 900. The funds
for it's construction will be raised by cOn-
tr1butions and the committee in charge of
the work is now preparing to launch
National campaign for this purpose and
support will be forth coming from all over,
the country.
