Those of the Veterans who
have returned from Charleston
speak in the highest terms of
their treatment by the city. There
was nothing lacking. Plenty of
rations and a nice bed in which to
rest.
CHARLESTON'S CHEAT DAY.
Soldiers of the South Gathered to
Her Loving Arms.
Special to The Stato.
Charleston, May 10.?This has
been the greatest day in Charles
ton since the civil war. 1 he veterans?an<\
there are thousands
of them here representing all sections
of the south?have been
having a coniinuous round of it.
The parade this afternoon was a
splendid one, witnessed bv everybody
here.
The opening sesssion of the annual
convention of the United
Confederate Veterans was held
this morning at the auditorium.
The session, aside from the cordial
welcome, addresses, the excellent
music, and (ien. Cordon's
eloquent remarks, had two strik
ing features. (Jen. Cordon, the
courtly, dashing southerner whose
reputation for doing graceful
things at the opportune moment,
hugged the widow of Stonewall
Jackson 111 the presence of ?U,0(J0
people, just ps lie kissed the widow
of .fellerson Davis in Richmond
a few years ago. Then there
were the resolutions offered hv
Gen. Stephen I). Lee in regard to
President McKinley's Atlanta
speech. These resolutions were
finally sent to the commander,
and are not yet acted upon by the
convention. The business of the
nay was very ngnr, owing largely
to the fact that so many events
were scheduled for the day, hut
there was plently of enthusiasm.
AN 1I?EAL l?AY.
The opening day of the convention
was an ideal one, neither too
warm nor too cool, and those at
the auditorium hall who had
heretofore been attending midsummer
conventions appreciated
the change. The day, too, was
sunshiny and bright, in keeping
with the joyful spirits ol the vet-,
erans, hightened by the patriotic
tunes.
The convention was late in assembling,
but after awhile (Jen.
Gordon arrived, being escorted bv
The 1'eterburg, Va , veterans in
uniform, headed by a uniformed
drum corps. As tlie erect old ?oldier
came upon the platform he
was recognized, and the band
played "Dixie," the veterans
cheered and cheered again. Meantime
Gen. C. I Walker, commanding
the South Carolina division,
Speaker Gary, Chaplain Gen.
Jones, Lieut. Gov. MeSweeney,
Gen. Jackson, Gen. Lee, Dr. S. 1\
II. Elwell and others came upon

the stage. Belore the exercises

by numerous persons of note.
The members ot the Charleston
committee were also on the
stnad.
BUSINESS BEGINS.
Gen. Walker .called the convention
to order at 10:40 o'clock,
lie spoke of'Charleston's invitation
to the veterans to meet at
the birthplace of secession, and
said that the gavel he was using
was that with which in 1800 had
been used to call to order the secession
convention. The chairs
used by the oflicers to-day and
the table of the presiding officer
were the same as used on that
memorable occasion. The mention
of these sacred relics was received
with deafening applause.
Dr. J. Win. Jones, the chaplain
general, then invoked the Divine
blessing upon the convention. He
asked it of the "God of our com
mon country." He returned
' thank" that they were enabled to
come to this historic city. He
asked God's blessing upon the
commander and the officers. These
i references were most feeling. He
invoked God's richest blessings
upon "our missing comrades" and
feelingly and beautifully referred
to those who had "crossed the
river." He pjayed that all ('on
federates may be true to the
principles "of constitutional freedom.lor
which our fathers fought,"
and that "these principles might
he handed down to our children
and our children's children." lie
invoked the Divine blessing upon
the president of the United States
j and all in authority.
The following resolutions were
I o lie red by (ien. Stephen 1). Lee:
THE LEE RESOLUTIONS.
Whereas. In Atlanta, Ga., on
December 14, 1SDS, the president
of the United States of America
gave u Iterance to the sentiment
that "the time has come when
l the United States should share in
caring for the graves of the Con
leuerate (lead;" and
Whereas, This utterance ot tho
chief executive of the nation de|
mands from us, the survivors of
our dead comraders in arms, a
I frank and generous response to
so lolly and generous a sentiment:
t hersfore, be it
Resolved by the United Con'
federate veterans in convocation
1 assembled that in this act of
President McKinley's and in its
reception by our brethern of the
! north we recognize authoritative
I evidence that we are again a
united people, and one in determination
to exhibit to the world
the gentler as well as the sterner
j traits of American character:
i and that we accept the statement

it iti which it was made, believ!
infr such legislation as ho has sugnested
by the general movement
would show clearly the advance
that the American people have
achieved in those higher virtues
| that adorn a great nation.
Dr. J. Williams Jones was on
I hie feet quu-kly, and moved that
these resolutions he referred to
the committee on resolutions
! when appointed.
Several requests came from
1 various portions of the house to
j hear the resolutions read again.
. Gen. Lee re read them.
l)r. Jones then renewed his
motion A delegate said that the
1 resolutions were not of such a
i character that tney should be referred
to the committee, and
thought that to do so would bo a
retleehon upon the distinguished
man who had offered them.

though briefly. The whole matter
was io the interest of fratern
al feeling- He thought they
: were willing to accept what the
: north was willing to <lo for Confederate
graves at the north, hut

graves are in other hands."
(Cheers).
The motion of Dr. Jones was
