Walter boro omfcRNOR BLKAME IN NORTH CAROLINA tha PICKETTS CHAROE RE-EN ACTED ON GETTYSBURG FIELD Heroes in Blur and Grey <'la*p Hand*, at BlotMly Angle. Gettysburg. Pa., July 3.—A hand ful of men in grey re-enacted today _the charge of Pickett across the field of Gettysburg. Up the slope of'Cem- vitery Ridge, where death kept step •with them in ’63, 150 veterans of the Virginia regiments of that immortal brigade, made their parade. Un der the brow o? the ridge ^ In the bloody angle, where tlieTNilladelphla. brigade stood that da>. was g hand ful In blue scarcely larger, waiting to meet the on-slaught of peace. There were no flashing sabres, no behhing .guns, only eyes that dimmed fast and kindly faces behind the stonewall that marks the angle. At the end. in place o? wounds or prison or death ■were handshakes, 'speedies and* mingling cheers. **<'unfed-* Charge “Yanks.” The veterans In grey man lied for : across the field, a quarter of a mile over the ground that they traversed during the charge. They came up the slope fn column of fours, irregularly, but res ponsive to jhe commands of Major W. W. Bentley, of the 24th Virginia, one of the new officers of either Pick- ott’s or the Philadelphia brigade* present. - Ahead of them marched a band and well down the column ?.ss a faded Confederate flag, its red field pierced with many holes, its cross bars dim. and Its shaft colored with thfc sweat of many a man who died that it might fly high In the las* desperate effort to pierce the Un'c:» line*. Its progress was slow and painful, for the timothy in the field was high and its ploughed surface > was not easy for world-weary feet Up to the very edge of the stone wad covered now with tangled - vln>»s 1 aded by trees and peaceful as a •summer laife, they marched in iho hot sun* while the ban! played ‘'Dixie.” They stoed fur ha»f an hour while their comrr.d*'* in blue peei^d ae,*osa-.i ♦K-'tn Flags vie in P ? "*•*. The blue line formed benind the walla. overhead floa*ed n faded standard of the second srKtty. corps. Behind them were the statues of jthe Philadelphia brigade and the 4th U. 8. A. battery, where Gen Armistead died. At the men In grey formed In a long line facing the wall, the Stars and Bars and the flag of the second corps were crossed in amity: the Stars and Stripes was unfurled and the crowd that came to watch burst into a cheer. Representative J. Hampton Moore, of Pennsylvania, made a long speech and Major Bent- Jley answered him on behalf of t the South. The veterans in grey were given a medal provided by John Wauamaker. They crowded over the stone wall, rfhook hands and the charge was over. There was many a picturesque figure In the line that came up the slope. W. H. Turpin, of the 53rd Virginia, appeared in the uniform he wore on the day of the charge. His feet were bound in t loth, he had an army blanket strap ped to his back and he calmly smoaked a long stemmed corn-cob pipe. .a When Pickett Charged. There v ere' thirteen regiments in Pickett's division that day iij ’63, and I the histories say #at 5,000 men Every field officer was killed or wounded, ex- cept one lieutenant colonel, and two- thirds of the line officers met the same fate. Of the 5,000 who charg ed. only about 2,000 returned to the Confederate position. The Philadel phia brigade numbered about 1,2»»0 men and lost 453 iu killed and wounded. “Governor’s Day" in the big tent was a great success. The enclosure wj-i crowded with thousands of cheer* ing veterans. Love of country was the keynote of the speeches. Present was the Congressional committee of twenty-one Representatives and ni Senators headed by Vice Pr Marshall and Speaker Champ Xlark Home for Veterans One practical suggestion came from the meeting. Govj»fr.or Cox. ir. the course of his addi/ss, urged ihat the National Soldiers’ Home, ar Johnson City. TetvlL, be turned over to the Confederates for use as a home for the/veterans who fought under the Southern flag. The aud^nce voiced its approval by tremendous applause. Vice/President Marshall was the? first speaker. In hia speech he said. . ^‘This occasion wipes out the las* of the Mason .and Dixon line.' As 'Bob’ Taylor once said, ’there is now no difference between the North and the South except cold bread ahd hot biscuit.” Champ Clark Makes Hit. Speaker. Clark made hia usual hit with the audience.

I could say almost anything down there; but up here in North Carolina the people -might "not appreciate everything I would say.” ^Although a crowd conservatively estimated at from 5,000 to <,000 people had assembled at Dallas In the hopes of hearing some of tha Palmetto State Governor's charac teristically sensational attefauces. they were doomed to disappointment. Governor Bleaae. as the principal ora tor at a Rad Men's celebration, con fined his speech to the principles, designs and benefits cf the Order. Red Men's Day. Yemsssee. Tribe.

"He. with Mr. Colt M Robin son. met Governor Biease iu Gasto nia. where he spent last night after coming from Woodruff, S. C, where he spoke yesterday. Governor Blease, beginning bis speech, said that he had been elect ed Governor of 8out:i I'.-irolina through the efforts of the Ret Men of his State. Speaking of the OrdA-, the Governor said that the Re.1 Men presented one the soundest frate.-- nal orders In the United States Their insurance, he said way* the cheapest In the world. They took the best care of their widow a and orphans of any fraternal society. He. said that instead of sending then to orphaq homea and asylums, they ga e th^m to the nearest of kin. Among the pr.nciples promulgated, and practiced by the Order, friend ship, freedom and morality were paramount. S|H'ke hut Half Hour. Owing to the excessive heat th* Governor did not speak longer than thirty minutes, closing his speech with the rentarks above quoted. After dinner the correspondent in conversation with the Governor 'found him ready and willing to discuss politics and the situation in genera! in South Carolina. Governor Blease does not seam. fronL.general appearances, to be the fire-eating lover of notoriety that he is generally pictured. He says what he thinks about Any one and any thing, regardless of consequences. When asked about his recent contro versy with Secretary of^War Garri son over the appropriation to the South Caolina State militia, which was ordered, discontinued by the Sec retary, the Governor with a twinkle in his eye, replied: “Well. I still, love my soldiers and am still draw ing the usual amount of money." The Governor tfaid that this affair had been greatly distorted by the South Carolina newspapers.
