SPIRIT OF JEFF DAVIS HELD UP
BEFORE THE UDC
Montgomery, Ala., Nov. 19.—The
spirit of Jefferson Davis was viewed
today as a requisite to “serve a cur
rent need of the nation,” outlined by
Dr. Francis P. Gaines, Lexington, Va.,
as patriotism, national unity and “a
resurgency of respect for our past.”
Dr. Gaines, president of Washington
and Lee university spoke io a crowd
of some 2,000 including hundreds of
United Daughters of the Confederacy
here for their annual convention, at
the unveiling of a statue of the Con
federate president.
Standing before the huge bronze
and stone monument erected on the
state capital grounds only a few feet
from an inlaid star which marks the
•pot where Davis stood when he was
•worn in February 18, 1861, Dr. Gaines
said:
“Today we proudly exalt before the
eyes of the world the figure of Jef
ferson Davis not because we feel that
he stands in need of renewed vindi
cation but because of pride in him
and gratitude for him and our confi
dence that ultimately full justice will
be done to him.
“But there is an even larger sig
nificance, in this day’s proceedings.
Patriotism, certainly in the moments
of national peril; is first of all a thing
of the spirit; and the spirit of Ameri-
iere'i what out

ca today stands in need of a resurg
ence of respect for our past; yes, of
hero worship for our great.”
Mr. and Mrs. Addison Jefferson
Hayes-Davis, of Colorado, the former
a great grandson of the rebel presi
dent pulled a cord and the drapes
slid from the towering figure.
Purchased for $20,000 by contribu
tions from U. D. C. members in every
state, plus an Alabama appropriation
of $3,000, the monument was pre
sented to this state by Mrs. Charles
Bolling, Richmond, president-general.
Mrs. Bolling described it as “a token
to us of What posterity may learn
from the life of this man.”
TARHEEL LABOR RUNS
‘YANKEES’ FROM JOB
Nantahala, N. C., Nov. 19.—Gov.
Clyde R. Hoey tonight sent six high
way patrolmen to the $6,500,000 Nan
tahala dam project to prevent furth
er rioting, and ordered additional of
ficers to stand by for any emergen
cies.
Construction work on the 270-foot
dam project, an import" it link in
President Roosevelt’s plan for a ser
ies of power projects to aid in the
national defense, was halted 1 after a
series of fist fights between workers
from New York and workers from the
South and West. The southerners or
dered the “Yankees” out to make more
employment for natives.
B. R. Putman, construction super
intendent for the Utah i Construc
tion company, which is building the
dam, appealed for protection for the
northern workers after six of them
were thrown into a creek and nearly
100 drew their pay and left with their
families. Most of the men being
forced out, he said, were skilled work
men who could not be found among the
native workers.
Fear More Trouble
Hoey, in Raleigh, after telephone
conferences with Putman and Ser-
iff A. B. Slagle of Macon county, fear
ed there might be trouble at the dam
tonight. Putman said the “place is
virtually under mob rule and we can’t
operate with a set-up like that.” Sla
gle already had augmented a force
of deputy sheriffs at the scene.
Nearly 700 men were employed on
the project, with about 100 of them
skilled tunnel workers described by
Putman as “key men.” Fights broke
out yesterday, were quieted last night,
and flamed anew today with native
workers picketing various parts of the
dam project to prevent the northern
ers from going to their jobs.
