BER 21?INTERESTING REPORT
OF PROCEEDINGS.
The following article was sub^Bnitted
to us last we*k for pubiicaHEtoo.
We regret that it was impossito
publish it sooner:
Bj Madam President and Members of
^Bhe Williamsburg Chapter, United
^B)aughters of the Confederacy, S C
JH)ivision:?It affords me much grat^HfiCation
and interest to present to
jjHrou a report of the proceedings of
^Bhe State convention of our division.
Hj Before entering definitely upon
oiiKi'ont T Hpsire to express my
duo OUWJWV ? ?
Appreciation of the honor and re^Aponsible
duty you conferred upon
when I was chosen to act in the
^^Bpacity of delegate of U D C. The
^HRlliamsburg chapter represents the
B^Bme of a county which has furI
fthed to her patriotic daughters a
Ktory of Scottish loyalty and heroI
Bi which they shall endeavor to
HHerish with pride and devotion.
HHThe privilege of attending the as

^^Bd ii^?'ing. One feature of the
^^Bcasicn which appealed most forc^^Bly
to n:e was Uie earnestness and
^^K-actical manner which character^Ked
the delivery of the reports from
Bp^aricus chapters; the work ac
Lklish _^d during the past year was
^HP^aled by each chapter with that
ori^ pnnfiHpnee of manner
IP9t;rei.ii vj anu
^rhich showed reverence for her
aubject. The sacred and historical
[truths relative to our beiuved and
ixalted Confederacy were empha zed
by many expressions of wisiom
and beauty, which were calculated
to furnish an incentive to each
j?j D C present to continue to perpetfiaW
tne memory of the gallant and
prave men who helped to make
kuth Carolina famous,
t In discharging the duty which you
Rrusted to my care I endeavored
k present to the State division a
pncise review of the work accomplished
during the past year by this
foapter. It will be encouraging to
|>u to learn that your report was
kceived with courtesy and maniretations
of interest, for the Wilarnsburg
chapter, I observed, is

the scene of si notable and
Iriotic gathering in the handsome
fl^ipacious auditorium of Lander

a taoat impressive, the sight of
s college girls, wearing the Conrate
colors and surrounded by

This was an appropriate and graceful
courtesy extended by that well-j
established club, for the entertainment
of the U D C'fc.
Thursday afternoon reached the
climax of interest, tor that was the :
date fixed for election of State ofiic-,
ers. Mrs C E Graham, who has so j
efficiently filled the important office

! intellectual and cultured educators,!
! thrilled many of the U D C's with
happy memories of college days. The '
| equipment of Lander College and (
k the hospitality which is extended to 1
J the guests within its walls bespeak ^
the cultivated taste and refinement'
i of the South Carolinian. As the j
i students' thoroughly trained voices
chanted in almost perfect unison, I
reflected on the "just pride" which
the Daughters of the Confederacy
j should realize and appreciate. The
presence of the honored veterans
and all of the surroundings and incidents
of the session reminded me
of our history of the magnificent
war record of our heroes. The sight
of the student body suggested an-j
other thought,which appealed to tne
Confederate Daughters, the grand
possibilities of perfected womanhood
which our State will furnish to
continue the work the U D C's have
begun,and to adorn the educational, |
spiritual and physical world of the'
future.
! Welcome addresses were delivered
by Mr Kenneth Baker, the Mayor of
the city; Capt C A C Waller, Com
Camp D Wyatt Aiken,and Mrs Stanmore
P Brooks, President of the
Robt A Waller Chapter. All of these j
expressions of welcome were hospitable
and appropriate. The U D C's |
were fortunate in having an opportunity
of being represented in publie
by Mrs Brooks; those who come j
under the influence of her charming
and cultured personality are fortun- J
ate.
The resDonse for the division was
gracefully delivered with pleasing
diction by Mrs St John Allison Law-'
ton, of Secessionville Chapter.
The convention was favored with
impressive greetings from Miss
Louise Fleming.of the Daughters of
the American Revolution, and Col
Teague, Com S C Veterans, whose
remarks were interspersed with
? I
many witticisms. Little Miss Lillian
Rose of Marion delivered greetings
from the Children's Chapter. This
department, of course, is one which
appeals to all ardent U D C's as being
intensely interesting, and the
speaker who responded in their behalf
was received with encouragement
and appreciation.
After the artistic rendition of sev-1
eral beautiful melodies the present- j
ation of the book of records of
11 crosses of honor, prepared by |
Charleston Chapter, took place. It1
was presented by Miss Martha
Washington of Charleston, a lady |
! who needed no introduction to the j
U D C's, and whose whose distinI
I
i guished yet natural and unaffected !

mannerism,at once gives the impression
that the venerable lady is not
unlike her illustrious namesake. The
exercises of this evening closed with
a reception, which was tendered the ;
convention by President and Mrs!
Wilson, of the college.
On Wednesday the session was j
held in the hall of the Knights of!
Pythias. Mrs August Kohn, the re-1
tiring President, conducted the ex-;
ercises with her usual capability and i
that womanly, dignified demeanor j
which has distinguished her as a j
leader among U D C's. This exercise
consisted of various reports and
annonncements and was followed by
adjournment for luncheon, which
was tendered us by Star Fort Chapter,
Daughters of the American
Revolution.
The Historical Lesson, one of the
most interesting features of the
convention, had been scheduled for
Wednesday evening and was anticipated
with genuine eagerness, as Dr
S C Mitchell, President of South
Carolina University, was to deliver
the address. The distinguished educator
chose for his subject: "The
Vicarious Element in Lee's Character."
I would that I could present
to you only a portion of the excellence,
inspiration and chaste style of
that master-piece of English as he
revealed to us the marvelous military
genius of the revered and immortal
Lee. Dr Mitchell's address
penetrated into deep research.as regards
the sacrificial element in the !
Southern war hero, whom history
delights to honor by recording him ^
as "the greatest of his illustrious
race."
Thursday's meeting was devoted
to conferences, reports and a great
variety of important business. Everything
in the way of decoration
which could inspire patriotism, enthusiasm
and artistic beauty had
been arranged in the halls where
the meetings were conducted. The
portraits of the Confederate heroes,
the U D C's delight to keep fresh in
the memory, adorned the walls and '
the Confederate colors were in evidence
continually to remind us of1
sacred and hallowed memories.

Mrs Graham's capabilities are well |
known to the club women of the f ^
State,as has already been evinced by
her administration as State Registrar,which
was characterized by pa- ^
tience and methodical work. She 1.
will prove a wnrthy successor.
The United Daughters of the Con-; ^
federacy have developed into such a ^
large and important organization^
that it consists now of different de- ^
partments; the educational activities, ^
therein connected are under the
management of that indefatigable' j,
worker.Miss Poppenheim, whose intellectual
attainments have won a
. ^ ? ? I 4-Ur.
nign position iox uci in iuc ttv/iiu ua j
"club work." Some of you have become
acquainted with her through
the columns of "The Keystone," the j
journal devoted to women's work. t
Her report stated that scholarships
had been and were now offered to
deserving and ambitious boys and
girls. An amount was pledged by
various delegates to appropriate a
soholarships for one boy to receive an
education at Carolina and a scholarship
for one girl at Winthrop.
The retiring president's recommendations
were read and one I
noted was the resolution to appropriate
$50 for president of the division,to
be used to cover the expenses;
incurred by making visits to each
chapter of the State. Mrs Keitt, of
Clemson College, proposed that a
memorial drinking fountain be donated
to Clemson and requested aid
from U D C. Mrs McWhirter, of,
Union county, gave a splendid de
scription of the Kicnrcionn convention,
where the South Carolina Division
was well received and admirably
represented. A discussion which
aroused much enthusiasm and interest
was that of the effort which will
be put into execution by the U I) C
in regard to establishing the custom
of using fair and impartial histories
written by Southerners, 'n the
graded schools. It was resolved that
the U D C confer with county Su- I perintendents
and veterans on this;
matter. 11
The brilliant reception held at thrt ; r
palatial residence of Mrs Annie C J
Durst, chairman of the hospitality
committee, was a fitting close to the |
convention, which has been so hospi- i
tably and successfully entertained in '
the beautiful little .city of Green- j
wood. At Mrs Durst's reception '
were assembled a coterie of many j
beautiful women (suggesting Tennyson's
"Dream of Fair Women"): |
"Divinely tall and most divinely
fair," whose accomplishments and |
intellect contributed brilliance to the j
oecasion. Maude Z I.ogan, . (
