C. W. Higginbotham, Calvert, Texas, hopes to send something soon for the monument, and thinks it ought to be at the place of his burial as it would honor also his parents. [There is a beautiful marble shaft there, erected by the senior Davis.-ED.]

L. Hughes, Dyersburg, Tenn., November 27: “Fall in! Right dress! Attention! Louis Hughes, $1.00; C. C Moss, $1.00; J. W. Green 50 cents, and cash 50 cents, Sam Davis Monument-all vote Nashville-"Cash" thinks that few of the big officers even would have displayed such unfaltering patriotism as this brave boy, who, when all the world was lovely to him, deliberately died for his honor and his country."

[ocr errors]

Dr. Hyam Cohen, Waxahachie, Texas: We who survive him must erect to his memory one of the grandest monu ments that any nation ever erected to its dead. I encloso fourteen dollars in dimes that were freely given, collected by myself and Capt Tom Yates.

Col. J. W. Simmons, Mexia Texas: The enclosed $2.50 I cheerfully send for the Samuel Davis Monument. If there was a Confederate soldier who deserves a monument—and I think all do-Samuel Davis is the man.

P. J. Rast, Farmersville, Ala., sends one dollar and writes: "Assess me again if necessary.'

[ocr errors]

T. O. Moore, Comanche, Texas, was up bright and early to answer "Here," and sends 25 cents, hoping to send more. A. H Webster, Walnut Springs. Texas, sends one dollar to honor the greatest dead hero of the great war," and hopes that every subscriber to the VETERAN will forward at least one dollar for this noble purpose."

N. S. Bonner Lott, Texas: Sam Davis was almost a neighbor of mine. A braver or a more patriotic man never lived or died. I think the monument should be put as near the place of his execution as possible, but here's a dollar that says it must be put somewhere." with renewals for himself and F. H. Calhoun. He sends another dollar for the latter.

An interesting and highly appreciated letter comes from the office of the Railroad Commission of Texas signed by Hon. John H. Reagan, L. J. Storey and H. G. Askew: In compliance with your request we answer "Here" and also enclose one dollar each as a contribution to the Samuel Davis Monument fund. We do not wish to express any preference as to where the monument should be erected, but hope that the contributions will be sufficient to build one at each of the three places contending for the honor.

The compliment of consideration by our Postmaster General, who (since the war) resigned his membership in the United States Senate for the more important service to the great Texas, is appreciated. There is pride as well as gratitude in having the honored and sole survivor of the Confederate Cabinet pay his respects to an appeal in the VETERAN and for his promptness in answering "Here!" in honor of a private soldier away across in Tennessee-his native State and by appeal from one who carried a gun.

B. L. Ridley, Murfreesboro, Tenn.: As a boyhood friend and college roommate of Samuel Davis. I have watched with deepest interest the movement so auspiciously inaugurated by the CONFEDERATE VETERAN to raise funds for a monument in his honor, and I send you my subscription of fifty dollars to that fund.

Proud as I am of his and my native county, in which I should rejoice to see a granite shaft surmounted by his manly form, I feel it should be located in the most prominent spot in the South, and I can see no more central or beautiful place, hence I vote for Nashville, the Capital of his native State.

Dr. J. P. Cannon, McKenzie, Tenn., November 27, after mention that Stonewall Jackson Bivouac will subscribe adds: I am going to take it on myself to raise all I can from private sources. A gentleman, who was too young to be a soldier. tells me to let him know when I am ready to start the subscription. "that he had rather contribute to a monument for Sam Davis than to any other man who had ever died." We must build the monument, and Nashville is my choice of location. J. M. Null, McKenzie, answers "Here." The Memphis, Tenn., Commercial Appeal

: There

is a lesson for the humblest as well as the highest in the matrydom of Sam Davis. His title to the admiration of his countrymen rests in a simple, steadfast, unwavering devotion to duty and to a principle of honor. The youth of the

Rev. John R. Deering, Harrodsburg, Ky., November 27, 1895: HERE! Enclosed please find $2. one each for the Samuel Davis Monument fund and the CONFEDERATE VETERAS, to which I am a lifetime subscriber. I wish I owned a bank, that I might endow this periodical and build this monument. The other Davis, the illustrious Jefferson, our beloved President, will have a memorial worthy his position and people. We must look to it that this Tennessee private soldier boy be known to our children's children. No nobler spirit was ever given up for our Southern land.

Let every soldier of the Army of Tennessee send in the $1.00, and tell the story at his fireside. Your Comrade.

E. H. Welburn, Nashville, Tenn., December 4, 1895: I rejoice to see your proposition to erect a monument to Samuel Davis, and have a dollar for you toward that object.

I also read with pleasure your suggestion for a Centennial Column to be placed on West Foint"-appropriately named. If a public subscription is raised for that purpose, you may count me ready for it. I would also be glad to subscribe toward bringing the Confederate Monument from Mt. Olivet and placing it in a suitable place within the city limits.

R. S. Turner, Esq.. Ashland City, Tenn., December 3, 1895; Who can sing the praise of Samuel Davis? No poet has been born, no orator has been made; no language has been conceived that could shadow even the outlines of such a character. Such an instance of loyalty was too unlooked for to find appreciation!

After thirty-two years of amazement we build his monument. 'Tis all that we can do.

Tennessee is the mother of volunteers; Samuel Davis is the prince of them-the pattern for all generations. His bones should rest on our Capitol Hill, and his monument should be there, as a witness forevermore that Tennesseeans love glory. God bless you and your efforts.

I send you $5.00, you may call on me again and again, and again-and on till our duty is done.

Dr. W. M. Yandell, El Paso, Texas, November 29. 1895: The Jno C. Brown Camp held a special meeting on the 27th, as suggested by the VETERAN, and donated $5.00 to the Sam Davis Monument.

Barney Harmsen gave $5 00 also; Barney is a bricklayer. came to this country a boy in 1855, is a "true blue" Confederate and says he is going to order a gray uniform and lay it away to be buried in. I sent you $2.00 for his subscription in my last letter.

I trust that as the Camp has given you the right to cast its vote for place, you will agree with me that its vote should be for Pulaski, where Gen. Brown is buried and where Davis joined the immortals."

Dr. Yandell must pardon this additional part of his letter: Personally I should prefer Murfreesboro where both my grandfathers lived and died, but the "eternal fitness" of things makes Pulaski the spot.

Capt. James R. Crowe, Sheffield, Ala., November 27: I simply write to answer the roll call. I might write appropriately a long letter on this, the anniversary of the death of brave Sam Davis, as I was a prisoner at Pulaski, Tenn., at the time Davis was, and was tried by the same Court for the same offense. I will contribute my mite to the Monument. I think it should be erected at Pulaski, Tennessee.

Mr. R. H. Dudley, Nashville, Tenn., November 28, 1895: I note with a great deal of pleasure the noble effort you are making for a subscription to erect a monument to this grandest hero of modern times. Upon the completion of our Confederate Home we adopted the plan of allowing any friend of a deceased Confederate to name a room for him, if he would furnish it. I furnished the most central and prominent room in the building, and named it for my old friend in arms Sain Davis, and put a nice tablet with his name on it, just over the door.

In addition to this I want to assist in building a grand monument to his memory. so put me down $25.00. I wish you great success in this noble undertaking.

The Waxahatchie, Tex., collection, $14, was given in dimes to the gentlemen named. Tennessee should respond enthusiastically to a monument that stirs the entire South in honoring one of her citizens, and should aspire to erect the grandest monument in America.

CAPITOL OF

TEXAS.

This interesting and accurate view of the capitol of Texas, was sent to go with the ap peal, on page 355, for a Confederate monument to be erected at its main entrance in honor of Confederates for all Texas. Many of the thousands of readers in the "Lone Star" State, and the many other thousands who have never seen even a photograph of the

will appreciate this. The Monument Committee should have the earnest co-operation of all Texas.

UNION VETERAN'S TRIBUTE TO DAVIS.

Captain H. I. Smith, of Mason City, Iowa, long a patron of the VETERAN, sends a subscription to the Samuel Davis Monument Fund. He sent also his mite to the Monument Fund in honor of Col. Rogers, killed at Corinth, Miss. He saw both heroes die. Concerning Samuel Davis' death Capt. Smith writes: It was a heartrending, sickening sight to me, and every heart went out to him in sympathy and sorrow, to see him so sacrificed for an act of duty, that he was ordered to perform as a soldier, and which was not a crime.

H. I. SMITH.

The stern necessities of grim war seemed to demand that an example should be made of some one and fate decreed that it should be Samuel Davis. I don't know of a more noble specimen of manhood that could have been chosen as a martyr for the sacrifice. I had nothing to do with his capture or trial, being then only a non-commissioned officer of one of the regiments in Gen. Sweeney's Division in camp at Pulaski. I was close enough to see his features and countenance when he was executed. He was young and seemed to be possessed of superior intelligence and manliness, and when it was understood that he was offered life and liberty if he would divulge the name of the party who furnished the information found in his possession when captured, and would not betray the sacred trust, none of us could help but admire his trust-worthiness and nobleness of character.

It was a fearful test to be put to a young man with life and a bright future before him, but he proved equal to the test, and I think he is worthy of a monument to forever perpetuate his memory, and as a noble specimen of valor as an American soldier.

I saw many of our hardened and bronzed-visaged veterans, who had seen much of carnage and suffering, draw the back of their rough hands across their eyes as they secretly wiped away tears. All it needed to complete the picture and change sorrow to gladness was a courier to have 11dden into the throng with a reprieve then such a shout of joy would have gone up from the throats of his focs as would have astounded the citizens of Pulaski and made

glad his friends, but it was not to be. I think it was Gen. Sherman who said "War is hell," and so it seemed to me on that occasion. Everybody was deeply affected. There were few dry eyes among those who were the sorrowful witnesses, and when the drop fell there was such a pall of sadness and silence that the air seemed oppressive. He was captured, I think, by Lieut. E. B. Spalding, of the Fifty-Second Illinois Infantry, who now resides at Sioux City, Iowa. I have heard him speak in sorrow and praise of him, and that war and fate should decree his untimely and ignominious death.

I am sure that Gen. Dodge would have been only too glad to have saved his life if he could have seen his way clear to have done so, as he was regarded by his command as a usually kind and humane officer.

I served over four years in the war, was twice wounded, and lost my only brother at the battle of Shiloh, and believed then and do now that our cause was right.

I have no animosity against my former foes, and want to see all sectional bitterness wiped out. I want no North, no South, no East nor West, but one common united country in which brotherly love and loyalty to a common flag will prevail, and I rejoice in the fact that both "Yank" and "Johnnie" share equally in the benefits of our victory.

D. S. JOBE, FELLOW SCOUT OF SAM DAVIS.

H. E. Jobe, of Paris, Tenn., furnishes the following tragic story of the death of his uncle:

D. S. Jobe was born and reared in Rutherford County, Tenn. He volunteered at the age of 21 in the Twentieth Tennessee, Col. Battle Rucker's Company, at its organization, at Triune, in May 1861. He was captured at Fishing Creek, and imprisoned at Camp Chase. When released he returned to his old regiment, but was soon detailed in the secret scouts by Gen. Hardee, who was then at Shelbyville. Their duty was to go in the enemy's lines, but never as a spy. While in this service he was captured near Triune, and while being carried North to prison, he made his escape near Louisville by jumping from the car window. He made his way back to the army then in Georgia; was then attached to "Coleman's" Scouts, where he was a comrade of the brave Sam Davis. On one of these scouts he went to the house of Sam Waters, between Triune and Nolensville, where he met his true and tried friend, Miss Bettie Puckett, who frequently gave him information in regard to the enemy's movements. She directed him to a thicket near by to remain during the day, where she could furnish him food for himself and horse. He was gone only a short time when a squad of Federal Cavalry came up in pursuit of him, and accused Miss Bettie of concealing him. She endeavored to decoy them in a different direction, but seeing the tracks of his horse they soon found hin asleep in the thicket. They endeavored to make him divulge some information, but failing, they put a leather strap around his neck, crossed at the back. and two men getting hold of either end they choked and strangled him to death. Thus died another martyr to "the lost cause."

UNITED DAUGHTERS OF THE SOUTH.

DAUGHTERS OF THE CONFEDERACY PERFECT A GENERAL ORGANIZATION.

The National Order of the Daughters of the Confederacy held its annual session in Atlanta on Nov. 8th, Mrs. M. C. Goodlett, of Tennessee, presiding. After considerable argument as to credentials, delegates from the various Divisions and Chapters were admitted to the floor.

The minutes of the last annual meeting were read as well as those of a called meeting in Nashville last spring. They were adopted.

The convention then went into consideration on changes and amendments of the Constitution. The Committee comprised of Mrs. Hickman, of Tennessee, Chairman; Mrs. Smythe, of South Carolina; and Mrs. Parsley, of North Carolina, submitted two reports. One of the reports was submitted by Mrs. Smythe and Mrs. Parsley, and the other by the Chairman. Both were read in full. Being put to the vote, the majority report was accepted as a basis upon which the amendments were to be made. It was read section by section, and the consideration occupied the entire afternoon. A number of changes were made, the most notable of which was that of the name from National Daughters of the Confederacy to United Daughters of the Confederacy.

MRS. JOHN C. BROWN.

The Constitution as it now stands is published herewith in full, and other changes may be observed by comparing the new Constitution with the old. Officers elected for the ensuing year are as follows:

Mrs. John C. Brown, Nashville, Tenn., President; Mrs. L. H. Raines, Savannah, Ga., Vice President; Mrs. Issabelle M. Clark, Nashville, Tenn., and Mrs. Mrs. J. Jefferson Thomas, Atlanta, Ga., Recording and Corresponding Secretaries; Mrs. Lottie Preston Clarke, Lynchburg, Va.. Treasurer.

The Convention then heard a letter from the Jefferson Davis Monument Committee, in Richmond, through President J. Taylor Ellyson, urging upon the Daughters the necessity of devoting time and labor to the aid of the Jefferson Davis Monument Fund. This request was formally recommended to the Divisions.

The work of the CONFEDERATE VETERAN in our general cause was reported, and the VETERAN was made official organ of the United Daughters of the Confederacy.
