BENAToR WILLIAMS INTRODUCES
BILL FOR A MONUMENT TO
THEM IN WASHINGTON.
ITS SITE is NOT SPECIFIED
Will Be Paid For by Private Subscrip-
tion-Another Evidence That Time
Is Healing All the Civil War
Wounds.
Nv EDWARD B. CLARK

Washington-Uni States Senator
John Sharp Williams of Mississippi will
leave his seat in congress on March 4,
after 3O-odd years of service in Wash
ington. One of the last acts of Senator
Williams career was to introduce
bill providing for the erection of a
monument in the city Of Washington
to the Negro Mammies of the South. ;"
This bill has received favorable ac-
ton by the Senate committee on Ii
braries. The senate probably will in
dorse it and then it will be sent to the
house for action, SO it possibly will be
passed in time to become a law prior
to the death Of the Sixty -seventh con-
gress. If the measure receives con-
gressional approval the plans for the
monument probably will be in charge
of the United Daughters of the Con-
federacy.
The expense will be borne by private
individuals, the plan being to solicit
subscriptions from all interested per-
sons. 1t is not known where the me-
mortal will be erected, but it is specific
ally provided in the legislation that
1t shall be within the city limits of the
city of Washington, but not in certain
parks thereof. There are some of the
city's open places which already have
too many memorials within them to
serve the purposes of order and effec-

Davis Name Restored on Bridge.

What is known as Cabin John
bridge, which extends over a deep
ravine just west of Georgetown, was
built by engineers of the United States
army when Jefferson Davis, after
wards president of the Southern Con-
federacy, was secretary of war. Sec
rotary Davis name was cut into the
main foundation stone of one of the
bridge abutments. During the Civil
war, when feeling raa high, some one
chiseIed out the name of the president
of the Confederacy and it was not I'M
til Theodore Roosevelt became presi-
dent that the name was restored.
One day when Roosevelt was in the
White House a gray-haired southern
woman called on him and told him she
was the president of the United Daugh-
tiers of the Confederacy, and that she
wanted yes or no, if he would say
one or the other. to proposal which
she wished to make.
Il want to ask you to restore to the
abutment stone of Cabin John bridge
the name of Jefferson Davis
1T shall be DONE" said the Presi-
dent, and it was done, and that is all
there was to it.
Gen. Joseph Wheeler Of Georgia,
graduate of the United States Military
academy in the class of 1859, was a
major general in the Confederate
army. In 1898 he offered his services
to the government in the war with
Spain President Mckinley gave him
a commission as major general of vol
unteers, and Wheeler put on the blue
again. He commanded a cavalry di-
vision in Cuba and participated in
the battles of Las Guasimas and San
Juan Hill. Later he commanded
brigade in the Philippines, and still
later he was restored to the regular
army list of the United States and was
retired as a brigadier general. He is
buried in the National cemetery at Ar
lington.

Time Healing Old Sores.

While this legislation is a thing
apart and perhaps largely merely a
sentiment of memory of many of the
southern people, the South itself and
it's strivings, endeavors and heroisms
of the past are gradually being recog-
nized by memorials in the capital of
the country. The old feeling of sec
tional hostilities seemingly has al

But OH he just bores me to death!
