Mrs. J. H. Nicholson, assisted by
her mother, Mrs. Annie Rives, Miss
Glad^w Rives and Miss Katherine
Earle, entertained the Daughters of
the Confederacy most charmingly on
Tuesday afternoon, the 8th.
After the opening prayer, the pres
ident, Mrs. Jeff Wright, voiced a very
gracious welcome to the guest of hon
or, Mrs. Maryland Randall Wall of
Augusta, daughter of the beloved
Southern poet, James Ryder Ran
dall. Mrs. Wright told of very recent
ly reading the poet's lines entitled
"Ash Wednesday," which stir the
heart with their beautiful trust and
hope.
The secretary, Miss Sophia Dobson,
read the minutes of the last meeting
after which there being no business
as pressing as that concerning the
District Conference to be held here,
Friday, 29th of April, the Daughters
discussed plans for making the day
pleasant for our guests and a credit
to Edgefield.
Mrs. P. P. Blalock, Jr., and Mrs.
P. M. Feltham were appointed chair
men of two arrangement commitf
tees, who are to report at the call
meeting to be held in the Library at
four o'clock on. Monday afternoon of
next week, March 14th.
All daughters are urged to be pres
ent as plans are to be perfected and
it is only through cooperation that
the conference can be the success
4hat the traditions of old Edgefield
should insure.
Mrs. Woodson presided for a short
historical program, as most of the
time had been given to conference
discussion.
The first number was a most in
teresting paper on Charleston's Poets
in the Confederacy, prepared by that
brilliant young son of Edgefield,
Francis B. Simkins, who holds the
chair of English at the Citadel, and
read by Mrs. Feltham. This paper was,
written by request, for the Edgefield
chapter, and was greatly enjoyed by
the daughters..
The climax of the afternoon's 1
pleasure came with the song "Mary
land, My Maryland," feelingly ren
dered by the author's daughter, who
bears the name of that beloved na
tive state of Mr. Randall. Mrs. Wood
son, in announcing the number stat
ed that the song was written in a pe
riod of great grief over the death of
a friend. She spoke of the'fact that
Mr. Randall spent his last years in
Augusta, but did not. go into elab
orate details of his life and works,
as he is to be the subject of a later
program on Southern Poets.
Mrs. Mamie Tillman played Mrs.
Wall's accompaniment with the sym
pathetic touch which always distin
guishes her music.
Yellow and white block cream, car
amel cake and white mints were
seiwed, carrying out the colors of the
yellow daffodils and white narcissus
which added such a note of gladsome
spring to the delightful meeting, one
of the largest recently held.
