m HEY'VE come and gone-the wonderful, loyal, courageous
 Daughters of the Confederacy

the "U. D. C.'s," as they are af- fectionately ealled-north, east, west and south represented-for they are ali Americans-with no section asserting or trying to as sert a monopoly of the virtues of American citizenship.
 The U. D. C.'s from sunny Flor ida to icy Maine are found-south marrying north, east needing west, each section rejoicing in the especial merits of the other, all bound together by cords of love and loyalty, in a common sentiment the perpetuation of the memory of the gallant heroes of other days!
 It was the beloved Gen. John B. Gordon who said:
 "Man is so constituted, the im- mutable laws of our being are such, that to stifle the sentiment and ex- tinguish the hallowed memories of a people is to destroy their man hood"
 And so-
 With this thought in mind, a United Daughters of the Confeder- acy brought to Birmingham the past week hours of pleasurable discourse among old and new friends, cher ished memories and stories of the long ago, retold and re-enjoyed, a beautiful tribute from the hundreds of women who hallow and venerate the name of the Confederacy.

 It is quite democratic-nnore SO perhaps, than any other large or qanization of women in the country Like the society of Confederate veterans and also the Sons of Vet erans, it aims to be simple and de sires it's membership to be made uI of democratic spirits-all of whlcf was shown so palpably during the wonderful week just passed ot then reunion. ., i, n An "Adamless Eden" the U. D c. convention was, save here ane there an Adam of other days, whs "bobbed up serenely" to extend his felicitations and who was at once the "Chanticleer," of the occasion showered with attention and GOV cred with glory.
 An Incident
 So closely related are the U. U cis the D. A. R's, the Colonla names and other similar organlza tions that one suggests the other bringing to mind the story that + told about a certain youngster III in New England, who, upon beine trv;tted bv his little companions be oa,,sa his mother couldn't belong te the Colonial Danes, sad race tiously: L.s "Yes she can, too, cause us hae an ancestor who worked on the ole Colony railroad"
