68TH YEAR. NO. 87. SEMI
PROGRAM IS READY G
FOR 30TH DIVISION '
Committees Have Made All Final In
Arrangements for the Fiifet
Reunion.
BE HELD AT GREENVILLE A
Those in Charge are Expecting N
That Ten Thousand "Old Hickory"
Boys Will Be in Attendance.
Greenville, S. C:, Aug. 25.?An enthusiastic
meeting of committee of
chairmen of the Old Hickory associa di
tion with local committees here last P<
week, resulted in final co-ordination bj
of plans for the reunion of Thirtieth m
division veterans here September 29 m
and 30, and the adoption and an- w
nouncement of the program for this m
gathering, which will be attended, it ti?
is expected, by at least 10,000 mem- R
hers of the famous Old Hickory di- st
vision. m
The meeting was presided over by in
Col. Holmes B. Springs, of George- ex
town, chairman of the organization vi
committee for the Old Hickory association.
The association was also rep- ba
resented by Col. Don E. Scott, of at
Graham, N. C., chairman of the ar- Ul
rangements committee; Major . D. E. of
Meyer, of Charleston, member of the he
arrangements committee, and by ?P
Frank Bowen, secretary of the asso- St
elation. Representing the Greenville G?
organizations, the heads of virtually
all the local committees were pres- wi
ent. "a
Aside from the arranging of a pro- tl<
gram, a number of important matters al
pertaining to the coming reunion were St
decided upon. One of these was the
decision on uniforms. Visiting sol be
diers will be requested to wear th?ir m
uniforms, but the request is by no <di
means binding, and it is the idea of ?P
the committee that no member of the ne
division should feel a hesitancy in at- at;
tending the reunion because his uni- cli
form may not be available or because M
he does not wish to wear it. til
A registration bureau will be estab- "a
lished at the textile hall, where all of
soldiers will register upon arrival and Al
secure accommodations. They will be ae
met at trains by reception commit- ex
tees. Information bureaus will be es- Di
tablished in various parts of the city. Ui
Thirtieth division soldiers will all ni
be asked to wear the official Insignia
of the reunion during their stay here. Ui
These will be furnished at the regis- pe
tratlon bureau, and will entitle their co
wearer to free entrance to all attrac- W
tlons listed on the official program pc
Soldiers, who come in civilian cloth- hs
lng, will receive small lapel buttons In
which will answer the same purpose m
Free liit-ul tickets Will be isr.UCd all '1'
rntrtietn division soldiers upon their Ai
registration. ici
It was decided that another effort
will be made to bring President Wil- of
son to the reunion, though it is now se
thought hardly likely that he will be a
able to attend. cc
Among the notable speakers who
will be invited to the reunion are
MaJ. Qen. Edward M. Lewis, who
commanded the division overseas; ar
llrig. Gen. S. L. Faison; Brig. Gen. aH
Li. D. Tyson; Governor Robert A.
Cooper, of South Carolina; Governor r'(
T. W. Bickett, of North Carolina;
Governor A. W. Roberts, of Tenncss<k*
and others. Hr
?.ly airplane flights, for which arrangemonts
are to be made later, are, *
, to be features on the program. An
effort will be made to secure Lieut. s'
John O. W. Donaldson, a former
Greenville boy, who won fame in the 1 1
aviation service, for some of these (*'
exhibitions. A big parade on Monday
afternoon, the 29th, under the direc- ,n
tion of MaJ. Wm. I). Workman, of as
Greenville, will be another Interesting
feature. Be
