Of 95 Confederate Veteran March 1909 Created by Margie Daniels Page 1 of 95 Confederate Veteran March 1909 Created by Margie Daniels PUBLISHED MONTHLY IN THE INTEREST OF CONFEDERATE VETERANS AND KINDRED TOPICS March 1909 Entered at the post office at Nashville, Tenn., as second class matter. Contributors are requested to use only one side of the paper, and to abbreviate as much as practicable. These suggestions are important. Where clippings are sent copy should be kept, as the VETERAN cannot undertake to return them. Advertising rates furnished on application The date to a subscription is always given to the month before it ends. For instance, if the VETERAN is ordered to begin with January, the date on mail list will be December, and the subscriber is entitled to that number. The civil war was too long ago to be called the late war, and when correspondents use that term " War between the States" will be substituted. The terms "New South" and " lost cause" are objectionable to the VETERAN. OFFICIALLY REPRESENTS UNITED CONFEDERATE VETERANS UNITED DAUGHTERS OF THE CONFEDERACY SONS OF VETERANS, AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS CONFEDERATED SOUTHERN MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION The VETERAN is approved and Indorsed officially by a larger and more elevated patronage, doubtless, than any other publication in existence.

CUNNINGHAM, PROPRIETOR cv Page 2 of 95 Confederate Veteran March 1909 Created by Margie Daniels JEFFERSON DAVIS HOME ASSOCIATION [At a meeting of the Jefferson Davis Home Association in Louisville on February 15, 1909, Gen. Bennett H. Young was requested to prepare an appeal.] To the Confederate Veterans: A year since there was organized under the laws of Kentucky a corporation known as the "Jefferson Davis Home Memorial Association," the purpose of which was to secure the plot of ground in Todd and Christian Counties on which Jefferson Davis was born, and to erect thereon a memorial of some kind to commemorate the splendid heroism, patriotism, and devotion of the only President of the Confederacy to the cause of his people. Margaret Varina, Gerald Bertram, and Robina Webb, the only daughter and only great grandchildren of President Davis. Mr. Davis was for many years the object of widespread hatred on the part of the people of the North, and failure to restore his citizenship, in which he stood alone, demonstrates the intensity of the prejudice against him by a large part of his countrymen. He thus became a distinct and marked sacrifice of the great struggle through which the South had passed from 1861 to l865 and the long and dreary days of reconstruction which followed the war, and upon his devoted head and loving heart fell heaviest the burdens of failure. Every man who was engaged in the struggle for Southern independence or who sympathized with the South should feel a sense of obligation to Mr. Davis to make proper presentation to the world of his magnificent character and in some form to give recognition of the services which he rendered his people, for whatever may be the judgment of men about certain matters which, in their opinion, affected the destiny of the Confederacy, no man ever questioned the absolute devotion and loyalty of Jefferson Davis to the people of the South, and none can honestly depreciate his faithfulness and consecration in that mighty conflict. A popular movement has been inaugurated successfully to erect at the birthplace of Mr. Lincoln, in Larue County, a splendid memorial hall. To those of us who were associated with Mr. Davis it hardly seems just that one son of Kentucky should be thus honored and the other son, the leader on the Southern side, not be equally honored. In the furtherance of the plans to erect a memorial to Mr. Davis options have been taken on certain property covering the birthplace of Mr. Davis, and these options will terminate on the 27th of April. Prompt and vigorous action is required to make this land available for the patriotic and noble purposes proposed by the Association, and as directors of the Association we are sending this appeal to every organized Camp of Confederate Veterans and to individuals who will sympathize with the objects of the Association, and as your comrades we beg to urge upon you a prompt and generous response to this call. An average of tencv dollars from every Camp and a smaller sum from individuals who honor Page 3 of 95 Confederate Veteran March 1909 Created by Margie Daniels Mr., Davis will place the Association in such position as to promptly and thoroughly carry forward this work. If done at all, it must be done now. Delays will endanger the acquisition of the property. Forty four years have passed since the end of the struggle which marked the greatest crisis in the life of Mr. Davis, and if those who were associated with him in the great war would enjoy any of the pleasure that would come from the erection of this memorial, it must be accomplished now. Now that he is gone and left none of the blood upon whom the people of the South can lavish affection except one daughter, there remains only the privilege of commemorating his virtues and recording his, heroism and in some permanent form to declare the love of the South for his noble life. We are not unmindful of the many calls now made for similar purposes upon the liberality of the South, nor do we forget what the Confederated Southern Memorial Association has done or proposes to do, but we feel that the work with which we are now charged takes such form and becomes so urgent, in view of the conditions which surround the acquisition of the property, that we are not trespassing upon the plans or efforts of others when asking that this object may be given earnest thought and quickened activity in its consummation. TO THE UNITED DAUGHTERS OF THE CONFEDERACY So many appeals have been made to the women of the South which demand their liberality and their labors that we are hesitant at this time in bringing to their notice another call, the conditions surrounding which demand immediate action. A few months since the Jefferson Davis Home Memorial Association was organized with the intention of securing the land covering the birthplace of Jefferson Davis in Todd and Christian Counties, Ky., and erecting thereon a splendid memorial to the memory of this great and good man. This Association will be under the control of the Confederate organizations of the whole South, and its sole purpose is to exalt the motives and sacrifices of the people of the South in their great struggle for independence and to tell the world of how grand and noble and heroic was Jefferson Davis in his association with the people of the Confederate States. Recently there has been a successful effort among the people of the whole country to secure the land covering the birthplace of Abraham Lincoln, in Larue County, and in erecting thereon a memorial to Mr. Lincoln, and we feel that Mr. Davis should have equal recognition, and that he who stood for the South in its conflicts and its sorrows should have his birthplace maintained and held for public use, and so marked as to declare in years to come what Jefferson Davis did and what he suffered for the people of the South. cv Page 4 of 95 Confederate Veteran March 1909 Created by Margie Daniels Whatever is done must be done quickly, as options on the property expire on the 27th of April, and it is not likely that they can be renewed, and we are making this appeal to every Chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy for a subscription of at least ten dollars. The trouble is in the shortness of the time which intervenes between this and the expiration of the options, and we earnestly appeal to you to take this matter up and to show your interest in it by prompt and liberal response. Confident that the people of the South will not forget to do homage to Mr. Davis, we are hoping that this work will receive such impetus that on his birthday, June 3, we will be able to commence operations and lay the corner stone for this memorial to our beloved President. We need not say to you who have done so much to justify the conduct of the South that Mr. Davis is worthy of all that his people can ever do for him, and that, while costly monuments may be erected to his memory, there is something peculiarly touching in this consecrating to public use the birthplace of this noble patriot. With the land secured, we will proceed more leisurely in the erection of the memorial, but if the opportunity to secure the site be lost, it is feared the success of the enterprise will at least become questionable. May we therefore by our common love for the glorious memories which gather around the Southland and its heroic efforts to be free and in our admiration of the great leader who guided us in those dark and dreadful days hope that you will secure a subscription promptly and forward it to Maj. John H. Leathers, Chairman, Louisville, Ky. ? THE PRIZE ESSAY, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY BY MRS. CORNELIA BRANCH STONE, PRESIDENT GENERAL U. D. C. The annual prize of one hundred dollars offered by the United Daughters of the Confederacy to the students of Teachers' College, Columbia University, has been awarded for two years past.

    2 1 4 RecentLiterature. 1Apri![ Auk stated, are: (1) Six noddies, "marked characteristicallyand individually with oil paints," were put on board the laboratory launch bound for Key West; two, liberated when 19.5 statute miles distant, returned to their marked nests in 2« hours after they were released; two were liberated at a distance of 44.75 statute miles and returned to their nests in 12 hours after their release; two were liberated at Key West, 65.8 statute miles distant, and reached their nests, one 11 hours later and the other about 23 hours later, night intervening when the birds probably did not attempt to fly. (2) Three noddies and two sooties, captured and marked, and their nests likewise marked, were taken, June 13, via I<ey West, to Cape Hat- teras and liberated 12 miles east of the Cape. Several days after the marked sootieswere found at their nests, and a few days later one of the noddies was seen attempting to alight on its nest, but its mate, having formed new 'affiliations', this was not permitted. Dr. Watson states that he has no doubt the other two noddies returned to the island and were likewise not permitted to return to their nests. The distance in a direct line from Bird Key to Cape Hatteras is about 850 statute miles, and by way of the coast about 1080 statute miles. The birds were thus taken hundredsof miles to the northward of their normal range, yet were able to return quickly to their nests on Bird Key. (3) On July 8, two noddies and two sooties,marked for identification, were taken to Havana; they were releasedon the 11th, and reached Bird Key on the following day.

  • The Buffalo Soldiers in Vermont, 1909–1913
    The Buffalo Soldiers in Vermont, 1909–1913 The arrival of the Tenth Cavalry sent Burlington into demographic shock. Almost overnight the small city acquired a substantial black community, a situation that clearly dismayed many residents. By David Work n July 1909, the Tenth United States Cavalry Regiment, one of four regular army black regiments collectively known as the Buffalo ISoldiers, arrived in Burlington, Vermont, to begin a four-year tour of duty at Fort Ethan Allen in neighboring Colchester. Their arrival alarmed the almost exclusively white population. Many people feared the presence of sizable numbers of African American soldiers in their community and a bitter debate ensued over whether the city should adopt Jim Crow facilities. For the next four years, the Tenth Cavalry would encounter similar reactions as it traveled throughout the north- east and as far south as Winchester, Virginia. Wherever they went, the black soldiers faced fear and suspicion and had to demonstrate good behavior to win the acceptance of the white population. Created in 1866, the Tenth Cavalry achieved its greatest fame in the late nineteenth century on the western frontier and then served with distinction during the Spanish-American War. In that conflict, the regi- ment charged up San Juan Hill with Theodore Roosevelt’s Rough Riders and won public renown as the “fighting Tenth Cavalry.” In the early twentieth century, the Tenth fought in the Philippine War, served in .....................

  • Guide to Marianne Moore Series VI Family Correspondence
    Series VI: Family Correspondence Family correspondence is arranged chronologically. Beginning in 1848, it includes letters to and from the Rev. John Riddle Warner (MM’s maternal grandfather) from the time of his early pastoral work in Pennsylvania. Most of these letters (1848-1859) are written by or to Henry and Mary Warner (his parents), Henry Warner (his brother), and Annie Warner (Mrs. Robert) Armstrong (his sister). Other letters addressed “Dear Brother: ae from his ministerial colleagues. Beginning about 1859 there are added letters to and from Jennie Craig, who became his wife in 1860; her brother, George Craig; and the Eyster family, relative of the Craigs. Many letters are addressed from Laurel Hill, Pennsylvania, home of Jennie Craig and her family near Gettysburg. Jennie and John Warner lived near Gettysburg after their marriage. Mary Craig Warner was born to John and Jennie Warner in 1862. In September 1863, Jennie Warner died as a result of the disease which infested the Gettysburg area after the Civil War battle there. Infant Mary went to live with her Warner grandparents in Allegheny, Pennsylvania (now part of Pittsburgh). Letters from her to her “Pa” begin about 1870. About 1865, her father moved to Kirkwood Presbyterian Church. When Mary Warner reached high school age, she joined him, and attended the Mary Institute in St. Louis. She married John Milton Moore in 1884 and moved with him to Newton, Massachusetts, where their son, John Warner Moore, was born in 1886. While there, her husband suffered a nervous breakdown, and Mary Warner Moore returned to her father’s home in Kirkwood.

Kansas’ Experiment with Private Deposit Insurance Lee K. Davison Carlos D. Ramirez Federal Deposit Department of Economics Insurance Corporation George Mason University Revised: March 2021 Abstract Between 1909 and 1922 a private deposit insurance company coexisted with the state-sponsored deposit insurance program in Kansas. This paper documents its development using primary sources. In addition, it examines if affiliation with the private deposit insurance (i) had an effect on risk-taking and the probability of failure; (ii) increased confidence among depositors, and (iii) was influenced by a neighboring bank’s membership in the state’s deposit insurance. We find that affiliation with the private deposit insurance did not affect a bank’s likelihood of failure, although smaller national bank members did increase risk-taking. The evidence does not support the hypothesis that the company enhanced depositor confidence.
