ATTENTION, SONS OF VETERANS!
I Address to Those Entitled
to Join the "United Sons of
Confederate Veterans."
We cheerfully publish the following
at the request of Division
Commander Geo. Bell Timmerman,
of the United Sons of Confederate
veterans:
Comrades: At a meeting of a
sp?cial committee, appointed'by
the South Carolina Division United
Sous oi Contederate Veterans,
which was held in Columbia,
June 3rd, the undersigned
were appointed a sub committee
to prepare an address to tho?e
in South Carolina who have the
iight to join the organization
known as "United Sons of Confederate
Veterans. "
All male perpons are eligible
to membership in this Order,
who are themselves of good
moral character, and who are
the direct, descendants ol men
who were regularly enrolled in
in the array or the navy of the
Confederate States of America,
and who were killed or died in
the service, or were honorably
discharged therefrom, or who
served try the end of the war.
It sesms that it should no' be
necessary to urue upon one,
whose ancestors had a part iu
the glorioup record for courage,
endurance and patriotic devotion
to duty made by the soldiers and
sailors of the Contederacv. th?

filmed to perpetuate the story of
their heroic deeds, and to preserve

predicated a truthful history of
the motives which led them to
war and of their conduct in the
prosecution ot that war. The
Society ot Cincnna'i, the Sons
of the Revolution, the Az ec

that there shall be a prrand revival
of interest in this Order
and that, at the reunion which is
to be held in Greenville August

of the Sons of Veterans.
To this end, we earnestly urge
the organization of local camps,

or reorganize these camps,
then let all Sons of Veterans
join the central camp, Camp
South Carolina; but above all,

Greenville, whether they be (
memoers of any camp or not.
Comrades, shall we call in
