SSS CONFEDERATE
REUNION.
Columbia's Doors Open to the Old
Confeds?Never to be Forgotten.
Last Wednesday was the opening
day for tbe reunion after every preperation
bad besn made for tbe comfort
and entertainment of tbe old
soldiers by the city and tbe citizens
of Columbia.
Mayor Gibbs made quite an extended
address of welcome as well as
others of the city. He said in conclusion?my
friends, in bebalf of the
city of Columbia, permit me to again
bid yon welcome to car city, and to
say to you, we want you to eDjoy
every hour of your stay in this city,
and if you see cot what you want,
ask for it, and it will be the endeavor
of our people to oblige you in every
legitimate way.
"Again I say to you welcome, and
may the good God who watches
above us keep you many years under
the protective care of His bounty aDd
ffoodnes8."
"Gen. T. W. Carwile said that he
expected this to be the grandest reunion
ever held and that his selection
of Colombia as the place for the
gathering was now justified. "From
the hearty way in which this city has
gone into the preparations I feel sore
that every veteran will enjoy himself
and every effort will be made to make
the visitors welcome."
The reunion is folly 'what was
promised it would be. The city is
crowded as on the biggest day of fair
week, and the town is all bustle and
horry and full of noise and band
music and speiliDg fakirs and country
eousinsand social fuctions and speechmaking
and various forms of convention
hurrahs and band-shaking politicians
and other usual demonstrations
and stunts which characterize such
occasions.
But the best part about the whole
business is the fact that sticks out
through everything that the old vets
themselves, the battle scarred, grizzely
old heroes, who proved themselves
the wonders of the world in the
fighting line, but who have not been
very successful many of them iu a
1 L- L L
DOBloess way, wao are ueiug outertained
and fed and quartered free?
are having tbe time of their lives.
Many of them have nothing to
speed, bat this has made no difference
in the way they have been treat,
ed. None has gone away hungry nor
been neglected in tbe matter of quarters.
Tbe weather has been perfect
and tent life has not upset a one so
far as can b9 learned. Tbe free dining
room on Main street is crowded
for each meal, but none are turned
k . away, and tbe free beer and lunch
counter open constantly in the vacant
Jot across the street from the Y M.
C. A. building is doing a land office
business, if there is no ca3b taken in.
The feature of today's session of
the reunion convention was the visit
to the reanion tent of about 3000
children from the citv schools. As I
the children passed along the streets
in doable hie dressed in white and
red the old vets net attending the
convention gathered to see them pas?,
and such hurrahing and rebel jelling
have not been heard since real war
times. The visit of the children filled
op the tent and great crowds Btood
at the flaps who could not get in.
The einging and reciting of the children
were well done and aroused
great enthusiasm. Many of the old
vets were overcome with emotion and
wept as they heartily cheered. Eva
Dunning, a beautiful little girl, led
the singing, and did it well. There
were a number of Confederate song?,
including "Dixie'' and "Swanee
River."
Mies Kreps attractively recited on
"Music in the Camp," and Miss
Byron Lumpkin followed with the
"Heart of a Child "
A splendid address was that of
Mrs. E. G. Glenn, cf Asbeville, formerly
Miss Elizabeth Lumpkin, of this
city. She has made similar addresses
in practically every Southern State
and has been active or honorary
sponsor to practically every division
ae well ae general organization. She
ia a woman of great talent in this
respect and ber eloquence aroused
the old vets to great heights of <n

tbusiasm.
A resolution was introduced by
Gan. C. I. Walker and adopted looking
to having Confederate rolls print|
ed and pat in permanent form in the
interest of history.
An earnest plea was made to have
all relics in the possession of veterans
and others tamed over to the keepers
of the relic room &t the State house
here in order that they might be better
preserved.
The session closed with the annual
address, which was by Gen. James
W. Mocre, of Hamptoo, who spoke j
with great warmth and eloquence,

Stomach Troubles.
Mrs. Sue Martin, an old and highly
respected resident of Faisonia, Miss.,
was sick with stomach trouble for more
than six months. Chamberlain's Stomach
and Liver Tablets cured her. She
says: "I can now eat anything I want
and am the proudest woman in the world
to find such a good medicine.'' For sale

Abolish the Blinders.
We find an item in the Savannah
Weekly News, which we can heartily
endoree. We have not used blinders
on a horse for years. If ws have to
take a new bridle with blinders, we
cat them off before using it.
The beet handlers of horses are
condemning blinders.
The purpose of blunders is to Bhufc
off from view the object from behind
that might cause the horse to become
alarmed and try to run away.
As to this, blinders have proven
more disastrous than beueficial. If a
horse passes some object that is not
fully understood by him and causes
fright, the shutting off from view of
this scarecrow by blinders only increases
the fear.
Any horse of ordinary good sense
can soon be taught not to scarce at
flags, care, covered wagons, umbrellas,
etc., by letting him see them and understand
them.
Give the horse the full power of all |
his senses; let him see, bear, and i
smell if need be, to satisfy his fears.

Our community was greatly saddened
a few weeks ago by the death
of Virdie Vielia Keisler, the little
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Elijah M.
Keisler. Virdie was 13 years and 13
days old. She was sick for several
weeks and suffered greatly, but notwithstanding
all this she bore her
sufferings patiently until God in his
allwise providence saw fit to take her
to a land where she would feel no
pain nor Borrow. Virdie was a bright
little girl and was loved by all who
know her. She is missed in the Sunday
school as well as at home for she
was always a prompt Sunday school
scholar, and liked very much to learn
of her dear Savior, but now she has
gone to live with her Savior forever.

Tried to Loot Sub-treasury.
San Francisco, May 17 ?A daring
attempt to loot the United States
sub-treasury was foiled lest night by
soldiers from Company G, of the
Eleventh infantry. The soldiers
were detailed to guard "UncleSamV'
treasure box and they claim that
their fire was returned by the men
who were attempting to loot the
safes in the buildiDg.
Six men from Company G were
detailed to guard the treasury last
night, three men being located on
either Bide of the place. At 11:30
o'clock the men stationed on the
Commercial street side noticed a
man attempting to reach the entrance
to the building. He was ordered to
halt but instead started to run,
whereupon a guard fired at him.
The bullet did not take effect and
two of the guards gave chase, leaving
their companion behind. Almost
immediately the soldiers on the Clay

Guard Hainmon, who was cnCcm

and the men in the window replied
with Bhots from their revolvers. Folly
thirty shots were exchanged, some of
the bullets striking the wall of the
building on the north side of Commercial
street The men were later
seen to come down the stairs, but
were not again heard of.
Attracted by the noisy battle, Detective
Sergeant Taylor headed a detail
o? police and began a search for
the would be looters. He was aided
by the national guards, who are
stationed at Portsmouth square. The
soldiers and police carried lanterns
and stopped every person whom they
met in the district, but all were able
to give a satisfactory account of
themselves.

Ia the year 3966 it required, on an
average 247 hours of hand labor to

1895 it required an average of only
eighty-6ix bourp, consisting of machine
labor almost entirely.
To produce fifty bushels of shelled
corn and then cut the stalks into
suitable fodder, required 228 hours
of band labor in 1855; in 1891 machinery
did the same work in about
thirty-four hours.
The production of fifty bushels of
wheat in 1830, required an average of
160 hours of labor; in 1896 seven
and one-half hours of machine iebcr
accomplished the same result.
And so on down the list, from barley
to tomatoes, aDd from hay to rice.
Modern machinery has everywhere
clipped off the long, hard hours that
our fathers endured, and the farmer
of today is easily abb to produce results
which would seem like magic to
the old-time man with the hoe.
Surely the world moves!
Guilty of Manslaughter.
Charlotte, N. C, May 12.?The

12-year-old white girl, who has been
on trial for two days at Concord, N.
C, on the charge of murder, tonight
returned a verdict finding her guilty
of manslaugter. Sentence has not
yet been passed. Several weeks ago
the girl shot and killed a young man
named H. Y. Stack at the residence
of her father. The defense alleged
that the girl fired to protect herself.
The judge charged the jury that
the girl should be found guilty of
manslaughter or acquitted.
