There was much sentiment behind the

Senator Williams, Of Mississippi Of.
ferrd an amendment that when a mem,
| oriaI was erected to the women oil the
North one should be erected to the won,
en- of the South. The suggestion Of
Mr.. Williams met with approval. This
simply goes TO show that &c are all
closer together than some politicians
would have US believe.
In a letter to a friend at Greenwood
Senator Williams Gays: II was never
prouder Of anything in my public career
than the fact that l secured the naming
Of the m Of the South with the
women Of the North in the memorial
to which you refer. ! want to add that
the women OF the North generally have
approved Of my conduct with regard
to this question:
II is mot probable that any other
Senator than Mr.. Williams could have
secured the passage Of the amendment.
He has a quality Of tact, combined with
or at common sense, which enables him
to put clearly before the people or u
dcliberative body the merits of any
probosition, says the Memphis CONNER.
