Va.-With the proverbial outstretching of welcoming arms, Richmond, the center of all that true overs of the South and the Confed eracy, hold dear, Is ready and eager to play host to the fast dwindling rem nant of the "thin gray line," the van guard of which descended on the one time capital of the Confederacy with the arrival of every -train from the furthermost stretches of Dixie. While the lanes leading from the South ar-e lined with the oncoming throng the roads from the West and North, too, are bringing a great gath erng of grizzled Confederate vetet' an, their sons and daughters, grand sons and grand-daughters, who have strayed far from the shadow of the Southland during the last few decades. The reunion of 1922. probably the last that ever will be held in Rich mond, is taking on an unwonted mag altude, because this city was the heart of the Confederacy, the headquarters of its government and the site of fa milar spots made famous by 14. and Jackson, Stuart and Davis, which na tive Richmonders pass over with but scant thought, but which are hallowed ground to the Confederate veterans who are coming fired by a return of the old impulses that made their love fb the Southland and all that It repre seated so great in 1861. Richmond never has and probably never again will be host to such a gathering as will be within its con fines. The city from one end to the other is in gala attire and the holi day spirit is in the air. Many Killed in ireland.

Zion Cadets. When trouble threatened with Mexico they were too young for service. During the World War twenty eight were old enough to enlist. Three were turned down by the Medi cal Board; twenty five joined the army and navy. Of this squad nine were commissioned officers, four non commissioned officers in the army and two were Ensigns in the navy. This record made proud the heart of him under whom they received their first military training. The Cadets are scattered now, some. have pitched their tents in distant States, and to day their old Captain wafts them the love and God-speed of the folk who live in hearing of the old clock. Sixty six men from the Town of Winnsboro served in the last war. Those of us who know them and love them are proud to believe that each man performed every task assigned him. This belief is founded on the faith we have in them, because if any one of them has ever told of his deeds it was when he whispered his story to his mother; their modesty and devotion equaled their courage. In the years to come, on the long cold nights around the ingleside, maybe they will tell their sons their tales of flood and field, when, forming part of the Army and Navy which helped save the civilization of the world, T.

R PRESENT CLAIMS RST MEETING IN COLUMBIA The State-.Canidates for state of fices opened the county campaign in Columbia yesterday, the meeting be ing held at the Columbia theater. The meeting began at 10 o'clock and continued until after 9, more than four hours being consumed by the speeches of the aspirants for the dif ferent offices. Those offering for governor were heard first, these being allowed 20 minutes each. All others spoke ten minutes each, with the exception of candidates for congress, who were al lotted. 15 minutes, but this period was not consumed by the latter incident to the lateness of the hour. Between 600 and 700- voter s wbre in attendance at times. There was little enthusiasm and the meeting was wholly devoid of personalities. A number of candidates limited them selves to the margins of typed manu scripts, each setting forth in general terms the policies to -be advocated in the event of election. Few voters re mained to hear the final speeches. Blease Speaks First. Cole L. Blease was the first of the candidates for governor to be heard. He expects to be the governor of all the people if elected. Differences which have divided the people here tofore will be forgotten. No appeal is to be made to factionalism and no attempt is to be made to array class against class. "I shall not engage in personalities unless such a policy is forced upon me by some candidate of standing .in the race. N ither do I propose to, make any ference to factionalism unless the ishue -of fac tionalism is dragged in b other peo ple," he emphasizd. He would abolish aH useless offices and commisoan in *ffort to relieve work" A system for pardoning and parol ing of convicts, similar to that in fed eral prisons, was urged, "so as to re lease convicts on the merit system, allowing each one by his good behav ior so thereby relieve the governor of the worry and burden imposed xp on him in such matters." Among other things he advocated a purchasing board for state institut ions, a water power tax, biennial ,ee ions, a water power tax, biennial ses sions of the general assembly and a one mill tax levy for free schools. He advised all women to put their names on the club rolls and prepare to cast their ballots. John T Duncan said it was an easy matter to tell the voters that useless offices should be abolished. Few ::an didates, however-, would ever say just what offices and how many offices should be abolished. George K. Laney of Chesterfield prefaced his remarks with' a brief statement that he was brought out by tno ceique and was 'he creature of no machine. "I am a free lance in this race just as I have,- been a free lance for 20 years in the two houses of the general assembly. I'm ied t) no man or woman." Mr. Laney made a vigorous speech, stressing with particular emphasis irecsures looking to relief in taxation and the enforcement of laws. The' condition of the people was not inci dent to the legislature. No thinking man would blame the legislature for the financial straits in which the peo ple found themselves. It is due to the war, followed by the stern mea1 - ties of deflation. Mr. Laney pointed to measures which the last general assembly had passed in effort to distribute the bur den of taxes. He called attention to the state income tax, inheritar.:e tax and gasoline tax measures. The trouble was there wlas too much tax on visible propercy. "If succeeding general assemblies continue this ef fort to tap hitherto untouched sources the time will come when a levy on this for state purposes will not be necessary, thus leaving such levy wholly for county purposes," he said. The thing that is needed, he said, is (Cnnuned on npa-e seven.)
