News and Courier: The governor's ofliee is in receipt of a letter from J. \V. Williams, of Lee's, Barnwell county, stating that glanders had broken out among t'ie stock in that neighborhood, and requesting that a veterinary surgeon be sent to take proper action. The matter has been referred to the veterinarian of Clemson college. Capt. Arthur A Spitser an old Confederate of Richmond, Va., was rohbod of $80. by pickpockets at the depot in Columbia while en route to the reunion last Tuesday. Capt. \V L Uoddey of Rock Hill also had his pockets picked about the same time. In order to show their appreciation of Victor Bloc's bravery during the recent war, the people of Marion, his native town, have bought a handsome loving cup to present to him. 'Hie cup is a beautiful one and cost $100. Much has been said in the papers about the velvet bean as a manure and forage crop. Our Banks correspondence shows that it has been tried in this county and will have a more extended trial this year. We are glad that the test is in hands that will make | it worth something. ?

The flags were presented :>v the young lady sponsors from the States and brief addresses were made for each by an officer. The campaign for the place of adding the next reunion is on, ind the delegations from the candidate cities are hard at work. These are Louisville, Norfork, Haiti more, St. Louis and New Orleans, of which the first named is said tonight to bo the favorite. The Kentucky town was a strong candidate for the present reunion. The cruiser Raleigh came up to the city today and anchored off tko battery, where she lies dressed In bunting from rail to maintruck. All day a fleet of small craft have plied to her carrying visitors, and Uapt. Coghlan and his officers have been busy showing the handsome little cruiser that helped Dewey win the battle of Manila tit the other side of the world. TEARS AND CHEERS WERE MINGLED. Second Days Proceedings of the Veterans Reunion?The Ilero of Santiago Receives a Tumultuous Greeting Charleston, May 11?The features of the reunion today were the addresses delivered in the convention hall by Gens. Hampton ind Wheeler. The former's was antirely impromptu, the occasion for it being the presentation by him, in behalf of the ladies of Charleston, of a handsome Confederate battle Hag to the r. r. v. Gen Wheeler spoke by appointment. His address was to have t>een delivered at the session ycs~ terday, but was postponed till tolay. Its delivery required over in hour, and it was largely historical. There wero few references to current events, and such as were made wero not very striking To each of these speakers a royal welcome was accorded.? Hampton was cheered to the echo ind the delegates simply went wild over Wheeler. The business of the day was routine for the most part. There is considerable to do being made over the resolutions offered by Gen. Stephen i/. Lee yesterday in reference to McKinley's speech concerning the Confederate dead. They simply utirm tho convention's recogniLion of the fact that the country is reunited. They were referred to a committee and now it looks very much as though they were ajoing to cause trouble. A good many delegates oppose them violently and should they ever get !>eforo the convention there is going to be a row. Tho memorial services to Miss Winnie Davis were held at 1 Yclock anil were impressive in the extreme. Tho address of the occasion was delivered by (Jen. D. II. Young, of Louisville, Ky. At the auditorium tonight the reinion chorus and orchestra gave i concert. The program was nade up exclusively of confederite war songs. The audience was i brilliant one and numbered liany thousands.
