GEN. C. A. EVANS SUCCEEDS LEE As Commander of Confederate Veterans. Re-union Meets in Memphis Next Year. Birmingham, Ala., June 10.? With the selection of Memphis as the place for the next re-union and the election of Gen. Clement A. Evans, of Georgia, as commander-in-chief to succeed the late Gen. Stephen D. Lee, the United Confederate Veterans adjourned their annual convention late this afternoon. The selection of the place of meeting aroused great rivalry hetween Memphis and Atlanta, these two cities being the only ones put in nomination. Gen. Clement A. Evans, the new commander-in-chief, is one of the most loved men in the army. He is a native of Georgia and born of North Carolina and Virginia Revolutionary parentage. He was a graduate of the Georgia law school and began the practice of law at 1!) years of age. He was elected judge of the county court at 22 and State senator at 25. The civil war commenced while he was senator and, although he was ex empt from military service, he joined a company in his county in January, 18G1, and began his military career. Ifc was first elected major of the Thirty-first Georgia regiment and then promoted to colonel. Gen. Evans succeeded Gordon when he was promoted to major general and again succeeded Gordon in command of the division. His service was in the Army of Northern Virginia. He par ticipated in all the battles fought on the soil of Virginia, Maryland and Pennsyl vania. In command of his division at Appomattox he made the last fight of the war after the surrender because he had not received notice of the truce. He has been active in the United Confederate Veterans, having attended all re-unions except one. He was com mander of the Georgia division for 12 years with the rank of major general, succeeding Lieut. Gen. Gordon as com mander of the Army of Tennessee de part ment.

There cannot be much satisfaction in "goin' around and lickin' the editor" when the latter not only makes copy out of the encounter but pictures him self as the hero as well. The following pen-picture is taken from the editorial columns of an Iowa journal: "There was a blow. Somebody fell. We got up. Turning upon our antago nist, we succeeded in winding his arms around our waist, and by a quick ma neuver threw him on top of us, bring ing our back, at the same time, in con tact with the solid bed of the printing press. Then, inserting our nose be tween his teeth and cleverly entangling his hands in our hair, we had him." Every bodys. Nu Need of Suffering from Rheumatism. It is a mistake to allow rheumatism to become chronic, as the pain can al ways be relieved, and in most cases a cure effected by applying Chamberlain's Pain Halm. The relief from pain which it affords is alone worth many times its cost. It makes sleep and rest possible. Even in cases of long standing this lini ment should be used on account of the relief which it affords. 2.r> and 50 cent si/.es for sah' by Laurens Drug Co. Myself and Mc.

Several times he darted toward her as though to bite her, hut she picked him up hy the chain and held him. Edmund Lysaght, of No. 201 East Sixty-third street, grabbed the terrier hy the scruff of the neck. The captive tried to bite him, and Ly saght found himself holding the animal with no chance of safely letting him go. A great crowd had gathered at a safe distance and Krank Bernhardt, a truck driver, prescribed common table salt as a remedy. A maid from a neighboring house sup plied a small sack of table salt and every time the dog tried to hark a hand ful of salt was thrown into his mouth. The dog was fed several ounces of salt and became very sick. When he recovered he trotted ofT peacefully at his owner's heels. A veterinary said that the terrier did not have the rab bles hut an old-fashioned dog stomache and that the salt was as good a remedy as could have been prescribed. New York American.
