Veterans, I ask you who hath
preserved and perpetuated the
sentiment, memories and tradi-
tions which enrich and glorify
the past with your deeds, your
sufferings and your sacrifices,
and have linked them all in an
immortality of glory? I answer
that it was the woman of the
south, the untitled heroine of the
Confederacy, that through all
these changing years has kept
the fire of the true faith alight
upon the altar of the hearts of

on Wednesday afternoon at 3
o’clock, and he took for his sub-
ject “Southern Womanhood.”
Mr. Emanuel said:
In every age of human history
it has been a custom to pay trib-
ute to the achievments of men.
In fact from the very foundation
of the world man has been de-
lighted to do homage to human
greatness in every conceivable
manner.
True to this teaching or tra-
dition, to-day we re-call and are
bidden to judge the greatest
women of the south, for when
you buttoned the faded gray
jacket about you, the paroie
which was to bear testimony to
your children of your faith and
fealty when you turned your
face homeward from Appomatox,
ragged, half starved, enfeebled
by want, fought to exhaustion
and surrendered your gun, you
wrung the hand of your com rade
in silence, and lifting your face
for the last time to the graves
that dotted old Virginia’s hills,
you returned to that spoilated
and ruined home; then it was
that this dauntless heroine of
the south grasped your arm and
marched across the burning
sands of a reconstruction, into
the marvelous light of the civili-
zation of today. And I say that
the verdict of every true south-
ern man should be. “She is a
queen, for indeed she is a queen
by divine right.”
It was a rare privilege indeed
to have had part, however hum-
ble. in that glorious struggle.
And never was duty more nobly
than that entrusted to the women
of the south, almost forgotten
perhaps, but beautiful in her
sufferings, with loving hearts,
brave and always generous, the
record of her social and indus
trial illustrations we await with
confidence the verdicf of.the
world.

the south and placed flowers on
their graves, and it is right and
proper that we should, for when
we pause to day and listen to
the echo of nearly half a century
we can still hear that unique
and thrilling sound which rose
above the din of Battle on many
a blood stained field which was
loudest and most defiant mid the
foremost and focal, and which is
yet ringing in the ears of the
enemy—the rebel yell.
But while you were witnessing
those awful scenes, and while
you were following those match-
less leaders, Lee, Jackson and
Johnson, each of whom have re-
ceived passports to immortality,
your wives and your daughters,
your mothers and your sisters
were trying, so far as possible,
topreserve these beautiful homes
for which you were so gallantly
fighting.
History has no parallel to the
faith kept by the women of the
south during the war. Unmar
shalled, these battallions moved
patiently to the fields in the
morning to feed the armies their
idleness would have starved, and
at night gathering the little ones
about the humble fireside she
offered up a petition to Him for
the success of southern arms.
Such was the conduct of the
women of ihe south during the
war, and after the echoes of that
mighty storm had passed away
for ever, and while your work
was done so far as the war was
concerned there was yet a task
that had to be performed, that
task of preserving the memories
of those gallant heroes who fell
in defence of our native land.
And as answer to how well she
has performed that task, I direct
you to gaze upon the fitting men-
u men is all over this land of ours
which are standing as guardian
angels over the ashes of our il-
lustrious dead, erected by that
holy sisterhood, the United
Daughters of the Confederacy,
aye that is not all, they will see
to it that the graves of the old
veterans are kept green and
beautiful with flowers.
Again, my fellow countrymen,
people have shared the same fate
as every vanquished people—
their conquerers write their his
tory. Besides, they have been
the object of persistent misrep-
resentation, records have been
perverted to their prejudice,
their descendants are being
taught to receive and hold opin
ions hostile and derogatory to
their fathers.
But it is not our purpose to
, day to go into the discussion of
the two great incompatible inter-
pretations of the constitution, or
1 to comment upon those who have
. declared that the side of the
southern states was infamous
and its adherents traitors to their
country. But suffice it to say
that I believe as profoundly in
the legal right and the constitu
tional justice of the cause for
which my ancestors fought and
died as any southern hero who
faced the thundering cannon or
fell on the battle fields of sixty-
one and five.
Recognizing the fact that a
vanquished people’s history is
never correctly written we have
assembled at this time and in
this place to perpetuate the mem-
ories of those who took part in
that glorious struggle. But, my
fellow countrymen, there was
one who took part in that con
flict who seemingly has been
passed unnoticed and unknown.
At a time when the war was in
the heart of man, when from
ocean to ocean, from lake to gulf,
this, our glorious land was about
to engage in scenes of carnage;
when above the mutterings of
the gathering storm the match
less woman of this southland
heard the summons to duty, they
hesitated not. but were all seen
crowding forward, bringing gifts
to the altar of their common
country. They came forth in
all the majesty of their superb
womanhood and avowed to the
world that there were never
more queenly women than those
who gave their sons to tight be
neath the stars and bars.
My fellow countryman, there
are yet many who linger with us,
who sent forth their fathers,
brothers, husbands and sons, to
The correct style for men. Cannot be excelled, for
durability it wears longer than any other make. Per-
fect in fit.
