alleged disparuging article concoi n
ing southern womcu which it was
stated hud l?esn ma le bv a professor
of that unircrslty.
The resolution culled forth an
eloquent tribute to southern womanhood.
The report of tins historical
committee headed by (Jen. Leo, j
was adopted. It recommends:
1. The complication of material
that will h?lp the histoi inn and
tho blmlent to understand the Civil
war its cause and its results.
2. The preparation of h source
hook for cellaterial iif>e and reference
in school and libraries.
'<$. Tho preparation of brief bio
graphics and school histories that
will do justice to southern leadership,southern
character, southern nrironment
and southern development.
The greater part of tho report
was devoted to tho considerate ti
of these recommendations,
A proposition to change tin'
Confederate memorial day from
May 25 to June .'5, the birthday
of Jefferson Davis, precipitated
considerable debate. The pros
ent plan, which was lixcd upon by
southern women and which gives
the States the right to set their
owu date, had many supporters.
The resolutions were amended to
fix June J, but to allow any Stale
desiring a different date to take
individual action, and in this form
was passed.
Gen. C. I. Walker, of South
Carolina, then paid a very high
tribute to Hampton.
The credentials committee reported
that TOT camps had paid
their per capita tax and were en
titled to 2,252 votes. Seven
huudred and forty-eight camps
were reported in arrears. The
report of the Davis monument
committee showed slow progrofcs.
It was stated there was $J5,000
on hand and that ?40,000 more
was needed. Department commanders
were urged to prosecute
the work of collecting funds.
Work towards securing funds
for the proposed southern woman's
monument was also progressing
slowly. The report appealed to
southern chivalry to see that this
monument should become a fact.
The leport of the committee on
battle abbey of which Gen. Clement
A. Evans is chairman, con
sumed the rest of the afternoon
session. It was very voluminous
and was supplemented l>y ;i history
of the movement even more
lengthy. The report showed that
of the $200,000 neccessary for the
reconstruction of the museum the
treasury now holds $170,053.
In view of the fact that the
Confederate parade is set for tomorrow
morning it was decided
to hold no session hut adjourn until
Friday.
One of the touching incidents
of the day was the presentation
of Judge John 1*. lieapan, the
last survivor of the Davis cuhiuet,
to the veterans.
"It may ho the last time for
many of us to see this vcrnerahle
man. I lis health is frail and we
ourselves are getting along in
years," said General Gordon as
ho half supported the former postmaster
general with his arm. The
white haired survivor of that historic
cabinet howed repeatedly hut
did not speak.
"Nearer, My Good to Thee,"
was then sung by the audience,
following which eulogistic resolu
tions for (ten. Hampton were
adopted.
"Old Tigc" Cabell was called
for and added his tribute while
his eyes were tilled with tears.
"Private" John Allen of Mississippi,
who was to have been the
orator of the day, yesterday, was
next introduced, llesiid lie could
not bo an orator without a windmill
and that his windmill had
blown down and he had to stav at
homo aud fix it. lluMh fc.i as I "j1
hour, tho witty Missitsippinn kept
his ht'iirrrs in a high state of rnjoyiuout
with aneedoto after an- j
oedote. lie was nearly exhausted 1 "
win n ho concluded. hut tho cries | 1
of " A Hon. Alice," were so strenuous
that lie was compelled to re
turn ami sav a few word*. In ,s
concluding his speech Mr. Allen
said: ?

oral's sword that struck terror "
to the Yankees' hearts. It was 11
the rebel veil and the crack of "

At this pviot lino'; were cries
