Meeting of the Daughters of the
Confederacy Friday Morning.
The Stephen D. Lee Chapter,
Daughters of the Confederacy, met at
the Womns Club on Friday morning,
when, in addition to the routine busl-
ness of the month, several interesting
matters were considered.

State Convention in Laurel, for early
May, was held, and resulted as fol-
lows: Delegates-Mrs. B. L. Owen,
Mrs. John Smell, Mrs. Battle X. SEES
sums, and Mrs. G. R. Neuman; alter
nates-Mrs. J. M. Morgan, Mrs. 7. O..
Burris, Mrs. B. W. Smith, and Mrs.
Townsend.
The plan for the erection of an
elaborate and beautiful memorial to
President jefferson Davis at Fairview,
KY, the birthplace of the President
of the Confederacy, which was inau-
gurated by the Confederate Veterans,
has been accorded the hearty cooper
alton of the U. D. C. The General
Convention at Tampa contributed ten
thousand dollars toward this Memorial
Fund. Every chapter in the organi-
cation will, of course, do its part IN
the work. A per capita tax OF twenty
five cents has been agreed upon, and
Mrs. Battle X. Sessums and Mrs. 1

this tax for the local chapter. 1t is
