DAVIS MONUMENT WILL
BE BUILT HIGHER
ASSOCIATED Press)

Louisville, KY, Sept. 19.-Plans to
complete and dedicate the jefferson
Davis monument next June have been
abandoned in favor of running the
shaft to 351 feet. This, which was
the original height projected, will
make it second only to the Washing
ton monument.
Dedication of this MEMORIAL to the
president of the Confederacy at his
home at Fairview, KY, has according
" been set forward to an indefinite
date in the future. The monument is
now close to the 1876 feet at which
it was proposed to halt it next
String.
The Daughters of the Confederacy
have undertaken to raise the sum
necessary to finish the work. They
are planning to raise $4,000 with
the sale of souvenir certificates at one
dollar each.
ct is true" says John H. feathers
Of this city, treasurer of the Jefferson
Davis Home Association, "that in the
minds of some of the veterans the
opinion was expressed that it might
be best to run the monument up as
far as we could, then leave its COM
pletion to those who might take up
the work later on. This idea seemed
to meet with no favor especially
among the Daughters of the Confed-
eracy, that loving, patriotic band of
noble women of the South, who said
they would undertake to see that the
monument is completed"
Major feathers points out that the
heaviest part OF the expense of the
| monument has already been met. In
its purchase of Is acres in Fairview,
including the spot where Jefferson
Davis was born, in turning the
grounds into a park and fencing ii
with stone, and on the monument it
self, the home association has spent
between $4,000 and 100000, he
added.

Gene jumped. No unit of measure
