Homes in j which veterans, sponsors and maids j will be entertained during the annual state reunion of Confederate veterans t here May 8-9-10 uje being liated by i gfdup's workin^HiHfler the direction 1 of the central committee, of which John M. Kinard is chairman. Around 000 visitors are expected in Newberry for this annual event which, owing to the advanced age of many of the veterans, will probably recur for only a few more years. It has been reported that the general reunion in Charlotte, N. C., next month will be the last South-wide gathering of the soldiers of the sixties. C/ommittees are busy making all ; necessary arrangements for one of i the most elaborate reunions yet held ' in the state. Invitations have been I extended to all veterans through the j various camps in the state and a large delegation of Sons of Veterans is expected here the last day of the reunion. The program will be completed this week and given wide publicity. The spirit with which Newberry people, residing in both city and county, have entered into the enterprise is very gratifying to Mr. Kinard, the general chairman. "We I have every reason to conclude from the willing response made thus far that the reunion here will be a pronounced success," Mr. Kinard said today. "For 40 years we sought the honor of entertaining the residue of what was once a numerous host. Last year it was voted us at Benettsville. We shall leave nothing undone that will in our judgment contribute to the success of the reunion." Four persons were killed and 12 injured in New York Saturday when a steel girder fell from the 20th floor of a building. The dead and injured were workmen and were thrown from scaffolding as the girder hurtled to the ground. The accident was due to faulty derrick cables.

INTO the Lebanon, the great mountain famous for its cedars, one may have his choice of travel by ; ra,'? or by foot and saddle along I the poorer roads and trails. The rail' way leads from Beirut over a pass In the mountains to Damascus. It Is a narrow gauge rack-and-plnlon system, ( and crosses the mountains at an elevation of 4,880 feet above sea level. Few have any idea that hidden away . among the mountains are sights and scenes to excite the admiration .of even the most disinterested; but, in order to see them, the comfort of the train has to be left and a number of miles covered in the saddle. The railroad, built by the French, at times runs through some very fine sceneryT and-the entire Journey of 90 miles is a constant panorama of mountain, forest, or plain. At different points scattered In the mountains are to be found groups of cedar trees which until recent years suffered so severely at the hands of the natives that they were fast disappearing; but lately they huve been protected. The largest group of these ancient and interesting trees is to be found at Besherry. Here on an elevation are about 400 trees, the highest of which does not exceed 80 feet, while some are from 30 to 40 feet in circumference. By reason of heavy snows these trees can only be reached during the months of summer and early autumn when crowds of natives make merry under the pleasant shade afforded by the spreading branches of i these monarchs of the mountains. Were a visit made to the homes of ; these mountain people, there would be much of Interest, for the raising of the silkworm arid the subsequent silk harvest gives occupation to the majority of the men and women In the many villages. 1 Fattening the 8heep. In every home throughout the mountains may be seen women and girls compelling an already too satisfied sheep to swallow a little more of the green food that has been gathered off : the hill sides or purchased from some nearby garden or mulberry plantation. This pet lamb, subject to frequent , bathings, Is being fatted to provide savory dishes through the long and severe winter that faces the native, i During the month of November the fatted sheep Is killed and cut up into mincemeat and melted in Its own j to he used as a relish and sauce with the boiled rice or wheat that J forms the staple dish of these hardy , people. Should occasion require, the fatted sheep may he killed to provide a feast for some unusual event, and in this custom there may be a perpetuation I of the "fatted cair of the Gospel, j Ilours are spent by the women and girls coaxing food down the throats i of these overfed sheep, and toward the close of their existence they are j so fnt that they are unnble to stand. | In some parts of the Lebanon the earth lends Itself to the art of mak. ing pottery, and thousands of the natives get a livelihood by the manufacture of all kinds of earthenware vessels. The Lebanon contains nnturnl beau ties and wonders that equal If not sur pass those of other lands. There is t remarkable natural bridge that has i span of 123 feet with a river 73 feei beneath It. This bridge has beei formed hy the running of the wnteri of centuries from the melting snowi : on Jebel Sennln, whlcn rears its heat ' 8.000 feet above sea level and is "mon arch of all It surveys" In the l.ebnnor Over the bridge Is a constant strear i of trnfilc, lor It Is one of the mat I roads through the mountains. Th native hns no eye for Its wonder, an the traveler from the West rarel i i crosses It. j Lots of Springs and Cascade*. Another charm of the I^banon ! the abundance of cold, clear sprln ' water. One Is led to wonder why tl Creator has been so lavish with tl life-giving fluid In the I^hanon^'wh! lands nearby languish for want of 1 Everywhere cascades, streams, spring and waterfalls abound, sono?tlsaei such an extent at to cause serlot alarm and danger to the native ai his property, hut the finest fall of w ter In the mountains Is to b# seen ^ Afka, far away in the east, and i i; ? quiring a long ride In order to reach It. Out from a huge cavern high op In the cliffs rushes a strong flow of water, which comes tumbling down over the rocks Into the valley below, In Its course forming one of the finest waterfails to be seen in all the Orient In a land where water is so precious, It Is no wonder that crowds of people resort there for many weeks during the long, hot months of summer. ' It may be Interesting to those versed in mythology to know that this waterfall and spring are connected with the myth of Venus and Adonis,,, and on a spot not far away are the remains of a temple to Venus which was destroyed hy the emperor Constantino because of the indecencies practiced there. In ascending the Lebanon range on foot h gdbd starting point Is the t6w0 of Tripoli on the shore of the Mediterranean. The road strikes through I a valley to Bsherreh, where one may spend the night, following the rfghthand side of the Wadl Kadlsha (Sacred Valley). The scenery la most striking. The entire hill sides are carefully terraced and planted with vines, from which In the autumn hang clusters of ripe fruit, unprotected except by a low stone wall. As one ascends he continually passes beautifully located villages, most of the houses being of s modern type, large and with bright red Imported tiled roofs, while a few are of old style, with low, flat roofs, consisting generally of two or three rooms built In a row, with a porch of pointed arches running the full length and surrounded by gardens of mulberry trees, with the leaves of which the silkworms are fed. It Is evident that here Is a portion of the Lebanon from which the emigration has not only been large, but also successful. It shows also how the money gathered In America Is brought back here to be enjoyed. The glowing accounts of business success brought back from America enkindle In the young people of this region the ambition to repeat the experiences of their elders. "American Villages." To those who have seen the miserable surroundings of some Syrians In their colonies in the large cities of America where they are huddled together In crowded rooms In dilapidated houses, gathering their money by peddling for large profits and spending very little, their stories of their success and importance when there does not greatly appeal. However, the natives look up to them as merchant princes, and their small fortunes avail here for much display. These "American villages" In the Lebanon, as they are sometimes called, are almost bewitching when viewed from a distance, but a nearer Inspection brings disillusion. While the houses nre comparatively clean, the streets are dirty and disorderly. From Aln Sindlanl the mountain , slopes grow very steep and the carriage road winds up In short turns, so that short cuts nre resorted to by pedestrians and animals. ( During autumn, the valleys are oh scared by a hn/.e caused by the heal . ; of the day evnporatlng the moisture .
