Mrs. N. V. Kandolpli, president of
the hostess chapter, presided over the
exercises and introduced Rev. James
Power Smith, D. D., adjutant on the i
staff of Stonowall Jackson, who do- |
llvered the Invocation. Ho was fol- ,
lowed by a chorus of 300 school chll- >
dren, who Hang "Maryland, My Mary?
land," and "Mas^a's in the Cold. Cold
Ground" with fine effect. The children :
were nrranged on the stage In tho
form of a large flag. All of tho glrla
were dressed In white and wore bright
red ribbons. It was cleverly executed
and received generous applause from
the delighted audience.
Welcome by Mrs. EUer.
Mrs. Nathan D. Kller, retired presi?
dent of the Virginia Division. U. D. C,
was introduced by tho chairman and
delivered a strikingly beautiful wel?
coming address. The past year, she
told ^e visitors, has been a happy one
for the Daughters of Virginia?happy
In the thought that their sisters were
coming, and happiest now that they
were in Richmond's gates. Turning to j
the president, Hhe Haid:
"Mrs. McSherry, wc welcome you. !
and feel It an honor to have you in I
our midst because of the noble work ?
you have done as president of tho j
most unique organization In the world, j
Unique that it exists for no other pur?
pose than to keep fresh the memory
of some of the world's greatest heroes,
and to care for the noody and helpless
one who still survive the period from
'61 to '65. Nowhere else is there re?
cord of such an organization save in
this beautiful Southland, so dear to
our hearts, with Its traditions of the
past and Its hopes of the future. No?
where else does history tell of the
women of a defeated people banded
together for the Ood-gtven purpose of
defending the rlghteousneae of the
cause for which their men gave thoir
Uvea, and her women their loving
sympathy.
"While it is the privilege and pleas?
ure of this historic city, capital of the
Confederacy-, to be your nostess for
these few days, yet all Virginia opons
her homes and hearts to you, and ac
Knowledges it a great Joy to have you
on her sacred soli. Sacred because
there is not a Stale or hardly a com?
munity in the South represented by
the delegates that did not have some
hero whoso blood waa spilled on Vir?
ginia's sotl."
Mrs. Eller's speech madjc a deep im?
pression on the large audience, and the
long period of handclapping whloh
followed i'?stiiicd to the feelings of
the delegates.
Welcomed by Governor.
She was followed by Governor Wil?
liam Hodges Mann, who gallantly Btal
ed, and incidentally with much truth,
that there was nothing left for him to
add to the welcome already extended
to them by Mrs. EUer?it was so com?
plete and all-embracing. Ho paid a
tribute to the women of tho South, who
Instilled Into the hearts of the men
and boys who fought the battles of tho
four years' war the principles of man
') hood and honor, for which they have
become famed in history. The women
of tho South, ho said, furnished the in?
spiration and the courage which enabl?
ed the men to contlnuo a struggle
against overwhelming odds.
I The Governor eulogized the great
work of the Daughter/! In keeping alive
I by means of monuments and museums,
> the memories of the departed daya of
'glory, and commented on Use fact that|
I although they have erected countless
'monuments to Confederate men, there
has not yet been erected a monument
to the Confederate women who fought
the war aa truly as die the men. He
hoped to seo the day, ho said, when a!
great monument will bo erected to tbo;
women of the Confederacy. On thlsj
monument should be Inscribed, as ex?
pressing all virtue and all courage in;
a single phrase, simply: "The Women
of the Confederacy."
Cordial word From Mayer.
Governor Mann waa followed by
Mayor D. C. Richardson, who seconded
the Bpcechcs of welcome with special!
emphasis on the greetings of the city)
of Richmond. He spoke eloquently oft
the self-sacrifice of tho women of the'
South during tho war, and of the great;
work of the ?. D. C. in preserving thej
memories of "that glorious march from!
Bull Hun to Appomattox." His speech,
was frequently Interrupted by applause'
and created a deep impression- An ad-:
dress of welcome written by Mrs. Lizzie
Cary Daniel, president of the Confed-:
orate Memorial Literary Society, was'
next read by Judge George L. Chris-;
tlan. It was followed by a patriotic!
selection sung by the chorus of public'
I school children.
