 The democrats have been SO long out of power that people here believe it will be impossible for anyone to be confirmed who is not dyed in the wool member of the party even though he should he appointed by President Wilson himself. The democrats evil dently are desirous of not letting their long struggle in the wilderness end up by letting the promised land lose any of it's fruits. At least this Is how matters are regarded in this city at the present time.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 5.-- The republicans in the senate made one more intellectual attempt yester- day to bring about the confirmation of the appointments made recently by President Taft. The democrats are now evidently bent upon fighting these appointments to the limit and the chances of confirmation are looking more slim all the time.
 Indeed it is now all but taken as a certainty that the thirteen hundred men who are waiting for confirma- tion will have to lose their places.

and was followed by my mother in
1s49. In 1852 they began the erection Of the
house now known as 20 Gimer street in the
block inst this side Of the Auditorium, and now
used as a blacksmith shop. l was born and
married in this house, although the greater part
Of my life was spent IN the convent at Augusta,
and Inter at Sumter, S. c.
I was not quite four years of age when the
war began, but can remember many incidents
before the close OF the war and Of course have
heard others. My three brothers enlisted In
the Confederate army, although the youngest
was only fifteen. My father weighed 800
pounds. would hardly have made a good

front in Virginia, to be wounded in his first
battle-Bull Run. Just before the battles
around Atlanta, it was of course evident that
we could no longer stay at Ashby, so the IN
evitable refugeeing had to be considered The
contrast l meant to make was this; I have
of late years rolled over that same road, now
gray with good paving and smooth to ride over
between fertile fields Of grain and many truck
farms. The houses are peacefully set in their
gardens of blooming flowers and a pleasant
hour out and a pleasant hour back makes the
afternoons excursion
In the sixties the procession consisted Of ths
family carriage, driven by my husband, home
on a furlough from Virginia and almost dis
abled from a painful wound, st1n unhealed
Into the carriage were crowded two frightened
women, my sister and myself, and the children,
one a baby in arms.
In the rear followed a wagon driven by our
most faithful servant, carriage driver, with
the children's nurses sitting beside him. lt was
loaded with few things which we considered
necessary, as we knew our place of refuge
would probably be devoid Of comforts or even
necessaries, whenever and wherever we were
fortunate enough to reach it. The rain fell in
torrents, the lightning flashed and the red road
grew nearly impossible We started toward
Atlanta and very soon came within sound Of
the Northern army. They were throwing up
breastworks and were too busy to pay any at
tention to a few refugees on the road. In the
flashes of lightning could see them, and at
intervals we could very plainly hear them talk

toward Atlanta and we were met by company
of vehicles, some of them occupied by our neigh
bors who had started before US. They called
to us to stop, and cried eXcitedly, eco back.

knew quite well that the Yankees were behind

Confederate soldier said had better not be- re

little to the right and got safely to a house,
where they took us for the night. our troubles
We're not over at once. for the good woman who
had welcomed us had ordered fire made for
the comfort OF the baby in party. Suddenly
there came sounds of firing. There a gen
eral alarm, 1.-THE Yankees" Two sons of the
house home on furlOughs, ran to their horses
kept saddled in the woods for just such emer
gencies. The women and children could not
brave the storm and the darkness so we sat
expecting every moment to see troop of our
enemies burst in. Instead the baby's nurse
came running to say that all the noise
caused by :he lighting of the fire. The soldiers

gone off with terrific effect.
The next day took us to Jonesboro, where l
stayed with my children during some of the
fighting around Atlanta, and where the little
house in which took refuge, shook contin-
uously with the cannonading. As | recall these
things after many years, l feel that more
than any people on this continent, we, the wO-
men of the South, are qualified to appreciate
the horrors of war and the great blessings of
peace.
