Although the to be held in Wi than four month* off-4 one 4th— preparations art wall under way. This Will probably be the last reunion "hut whether it is or not, it is safe to assume that it will be the last big one. Not only le the Washington commit tee of arrangements busy every day in the week with details, but the veteran camps in every SUte of the South are perfecting plans for moving on to the national capital. Also the railroads are giving a great deal;of publicity to the forthcoming event. The lines traversing this part of the South with eastern connections—that is to say, practically all the lines— are making announcements which ap peal to the sentiment of the old sol diers who fought fbr the lost cause. One railroad company is stressing the fact that its trains run through" his toric battlefields of Virginia, taking in a view of the crater near Peters burg and the fortifications around Richmond. Another company* calls at tention to the fact that the- vetems who travel on its road will ride over one stretch of 48'miles which was built by Confederate soldiers, “and which has remained, perhaps, the most permanent monument of any work done by the Confederacy.” It is the line between Greensboro, N. C., and Danville, Va. * % When the war began there was no railroad connecting the old Richmond and Danville with the North Carolina system of roads. A railroad official in sketching the situation, says the Confederate authorities saw the strat egic value of such a lint, “and were able to bring to bear sufficient pres sure to overcome the obstacles which had previously stood in the way of its construction, owing to the rivalry of North Carolina and Virginia, each State seeking to protect its own rail way interests.” The rail necessary for the construc tion of the Greensboro-Danville con nection was procured by tearing up other lines. At the close of the war the 48-mile stretch was confiscated by the United States as one of the assets of the Confederacy and there was pro longed litigation before the Richmond and Danville received it This section has been double-tracked but few changes were found “m the location as determined by the war time engineers ** Reprinted from The Age-Herald, Birmingham, Ala., January 16. 1917.
