Newberry Preparing
For Vets Reunion
1
Newberry, April 23.? 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
