A Confederate Ee-union.
Mr. Jasper S. Derrick, formerCounty
Treasurer, is in town shaking
hands with friends. He is anxious
for the Old Confederates to visit
Charleston during the Exposition
and his plan is to have a general reunion
of the Confederate soldiers of
the State in that city sometime in
the snrinff. He is satisfied that
~ L~ w
reduced railroad rates can be obtained
and that a committee can secure
tent or other accommodations with
two meals a day at a nominal figure.
If this arrangement could be made
many an old soldier would take
advantage of the opportunity to go
to Charleston once more before they
"cross over the river" and again
visit the places where in their younger
days they did picket duty and
fought the enemy off the hallowed
shores of dear old Charleston. We
see no reason why some such arrangements
could not be made if the
proper effort is put forth by the
proper men. It will pay the railroads
to lend a helping hand in this
matter and it will pay the Exposition
management to encourage it in a
substantial manner, besides it will
give the old soldiers a chance to eniov
themselves at a small outlay,
' which they will never again have.
