The U. D. C. has just held 1U Con- > rentloD at New Orleans. In the list of general officers we find ' the name of Mrs. M. C.

Hickman of Na?hville bas been recording secretary since 1897 snd Mis. McSherry of West Virginia as corresponding Secretary. This organisation has accomplished much good and its deeds of benevolence are attested by many grateful v?icnui>, wiuuwb anu orpnans. Thousands of white-bead stones. and carefully tended graves bear evidence , of the memorial work of tbe society, likewise many monuments in stone and bronze, windows in stained gla<*s. tablets on historic spots, and memorial museums in which are collected priceless relics, and reoords of inestimable value. Tbe enterprise of greatest importance at present engaging tbe attention of oar organization is the erection of a monument to Jefferson Davis, President of the Coafederary, to be erected in Rlchmhnd, Va., the Confederate Capital. It will take tbe form of a memorial arch, and will cost about 1 175,000. The women of South Carolina have erected at Columbia a magnificent monument In memory of ibe Cou'ederate dead. It stands in /rent of the State House and the inscripilou on it u bo neautuui tbat we reproduce the words. Tbey are as to'lows: (rim oinoi*) This monument Perpetuate* the memory Of those who, True to the instincts or their birth, Faithftil to the teachings or their fathers, Constant in their love for the State Died in the performance of their duty; Who Have glorified a fallen cause By the simple manhood or their lives. The patent endurance or suffering And the heroism of death : And who, In the dark hours or imprisonment, In the hopelessness or the hospital. In the short, sharp agony or the Held, Found support and consolation In the beli?*r That at home tbey would not be for-! gotten, Colama) Those for whom tbey died Inscribe on thin marble The solemn record of their sacrifice The perpetual gratitude of the Mtate tbey served, The undying affection of those Whose lives The separation of death Has shadowed with an everlasting sorrow : Scattered over the battlefields of the Houtb, Burled in remote and alien graves, Dying unsontbed by the touch Of nuniliar and household hands, Th?lr nmmM are crrmven here To recall To their children and kinsmen How worthy they lived, How nobly they died, And in what tender reverence Their memory nurviveu. i ? (Third Cclana) Lot the stranger Who may in future times Read this inscription Recognize that these weie men Wiiom poorer could not corrupt, Whom death could not terrify, Whom defeat could not dishonor; And let tb.-ir virtues plead for just judgment Of the cauw in which tbey perished ; Let the South Carolinian Of another generation Iteraemner That the State taught them How to live and how to die ; And that from her broken fortunes She hat* preserved for lier children The priceless treasure of their memories, Teaching all Who may claim the same birthright Tbat truth, courage and patriotism ?ndure forever. ? The badge of the U. D. C. is a reprelentation of the Confederate flag [stars i bars] in white, blue1 and scarlet mamel, surrrunded by a laurel wreaio vltb the monogram "U. D.
