CONFEDERATE VETERANS.
Important Circular in Reference to
the Urent Re-unlou of Old Soldiers
in Charleston, May 10, 1899.
Charleston, 8. C.. March 15th. 1899.
The Ninth Annual Reunion of the United |
Confederate Veterans will be held in Charleston,
commencing on the morning of May
10. 1809.
The Headquarters of the Division, will be at 1
Market Hall, Meeting and Market Streets
Comrades will please register there and during
their stay make it their general assembling
place.
While the comrades of the Division will be
the guests of Charleston, (and indeed of the
people of the State of South Carolina) none
the less they must play the part of hosts, and |
be prepared to share their blankets, and the
oontents .of their haversacks and canteens
with the visiting comrades from the other
Divisions, and with all Confederate Veterans. 1
Tn nrilor t n tuljo imrt In fha nrn/tfloH I n era a nil '
have the right to vote, Camps must pay their
dues of 10 cents per capita to the U. C. V.
Camps and comrades are urged to bring
with them any Confederate battle flags they
may have, as well as their Camp colors for
the parade.
The Camps of the Division are earnestly
called upon to put themselves in position to
exert the full influence this Division is entitled
to, and all Confederate Veterans In the
State, not now members, are fraternally invited
to Join one of the Camps of the Division,
or to form new Camps.
The commanding general of the division
suggests, that as many of the Camps as caD
do so, uniform their members in aslmpleand
aud inexpensive suit, or sack only, of Confederate
gray, with a dark hat. This seems
to be the sentiment and custom of tnanv
Camps in other divisions of the U. C. V.
Each Re-unlon shows more uniformed Camps, c
und the South Carolina Division, should keep
pace with the growing sentiment. ?
