Are you a loyal Daughter of the Confederacy? If so, vou will not hesitate longer to fulfil this obligation. It is right for us to honor our great chieftain, Jeffersoh Davis. Our town is on the highway that is to memorialize his name from thi* Atlantic to the Pacific, that he who rides may read. of the, fame' and name of the first and only president, ?! t ho Southern Confederacy. Efforts to attaint that name with djuhopyr? to I. rand upon it the stigma of trea son. failed ignominiously ami utterly, f o i he could not be convicted of any ?crime while the organic law of his country stood unrepealed. A granite boulder is to be placed at Hampton Park with the name of Jefferson Da vis engraved upon it, and every , mile of the highway marked. Do you not wish to have a part in this, to be, when completed, the greatest memo rial ever built by any organization? Do you love the South and its histo ry :? If so, you will makel a contri bution to this work at Once. And this l>le? is not only made to the Daugh ters of the Confederacy, but ,t? the Confederate Veterans of Kershaw County-, and to the public at large.
