BOYS IN GRAY MET TOGETHER Reunion Came to a Close Saturday. PENSION MATTER LARGELY DISCUSSED dien. It. II. Tongue Is Kceleeted to Cohn maud tin- South Curolliui IMalsIon and Genorals >V. It. Drooks und Frunk Creech uro Elected to Regi mental Commands. Tho Confederate veterans at their business session in Columbia Wednes day took up the matter of pensions and discussions of tho subject consumed the greater part of the morning. At the last session of the legislature it will be remembered a bill was Intro duced, the object of which was to cor rect the evils of the present pension laws. Gen. C. Irvine Walker, at the request of Gen. Teagne, division com mander, appeared before the legisla ture and presented the matter to the proper committees and suggested those remedies which It was deemed would be effectual. The bill, however, wns continued from the last session and those chang es which had been proposed were dis cussed by tho veterans .and a resolu tion was Introduced by Col. T. J. Moore of Moore to the effect that the veterans of South Carolina approve the revised bill and urge its early pas sage by tho legislature. These reso lutions were passed excepting that por tion which referred to the appoint ment of a pension inspector for South Carolina. The Pension Matter? When the pension matter was Hist brought up at the meeting Gen. Wal ker, at the request of Gen. Teague, put the subject clearly before the veter ans, explaining the present conditions, which seem to need correcting and th#presenting the proposed means of correction. The State intrusts to the veterans the distribution of Its yearly pension appropriation of $2.r>0,000. and the pension board, composed of veter ans. Is anxious that safeguards be sup plied to prevent Its unworthy appor tionment, so that the deserving veter ans and widows of veterans may come Into their full rights. One of the pro posed changes provided that there should be an Inspector to visit all parts of the State and to verify all applications, the salary for the ofllce to be fixed at $1,800. This brought out an amount of discussion pro and con. and several lively speeches were made on both sides. Finally Col. Moore introduced his resolution, which the convention laid on the table. Gen. Walker then moved to Insert tho phrase, "excepting that portion re ferring to the appointment of an In spector," and the resolution, thus re vised, passed unanimously. The election of ofllcers was another important part of the business of the morning. Col. Creech of the second brigade took the chair when the nom inations for division commander were in order. Gen. B. H. Teague was promptly nominated and was unani mously reelected to the ollice by ac clamation. The general stepped to the front and in simple manner thank ed the veterans for the honor which they had bestowed and for their en dorsement Of his administration. He then returned to the chair and the election proceeded, w. H. Brooks and Frank Creech being unanimously elected to the respectlvo commands of the first and second regiments. The veterans decided at this meet ing that at future reunions the pa rade shall take place on the first in stead of the second day, and a reso lution 10 this offCCl was introduced by. Col. Wbnrton ami adopted by the veterans. The old soldiers are al ways tired out by the afternoon of the second day and many are unable to undorgod the additional fatigue of a inarch. The matter of the next place for the reunion was brought up during the morning and an invitation to Orangeburg was extended by a delegae from that town. However, It was decided to leave the matter open that further invitations may be ex tended later through Gen. Teague. Protest on School Books. The veterans put themselves on rec ord Wednesday as protesting against ono of tho school books recently adopted by tho State board of educa tion. Qen. I'. K. Brooks made a stir ring speech, setting forth the objec tionable points in the "Heart of Oak" reader and the old veterans with cheers voted "aye" to the motion to adopt the following resolutions of Col. Brooks. "Whereas. The Heart of Oak read ers, recently adopted for use' in tho public schools of this Sthfe, contain on page 22"> of the fourth hook a se army at Shlloh as dark ->hel Election of Officers. The Parade. lection that refers to tho lions" host, and, "Whereas, we, the United Confed erate veterans of South Carolina thus assembled, believe that the principles and truths for which we fought are Just as vital today as they were when we left our homes and families to de fend them with our lives and for tunes and , "Whereas, we further believe that the hooks taught In our free school system, where alone our children have an opportunity to learn these truths, should be free from any aspersion or misrepresentation, either by direction or indirection; "Therefore, he It resolved: That we most seriously protest against the use of the above named readers and respectfully but earnestly call upon the State board of education to take Immediate steps whereby readers or any other books containing any or all such expressions reflecting upon the truth of the cause for which we fought may not be forced upon our children." The Speeches. In addition to the speeches called forth by the various matters taken up, a number of quite notable ad dresses marked the morning meeting. One of those was made by Miss Kath erine Lumpkin, maid of honor for the first brigade. Miss Lumpkin is a daughter of the late Col. W. W. Lump kin and a sister of Mrs. Glenn (former ly Miss Elizabeth Lumpkin) and of Miss Grace Lumpkin, both of whom have stirred many reunions by their eulogistic utterances. Little Miss Lumpkin aroused the old soldiers to the highest pitch of enthusiasm and she was interrupted frequently by cheers and applause and when she had finished speaking several old fellows ran forward and shook hands with her across the footlights. Gen. Brooks proudly pinned the Confederate badge on her white gown and the uniformed men upon the stage crowded around her to express their thanks and con gratulations. Her stirring oratory was touching. ? coming from the lips of a mere child, and her earnestness and depth of emotion reached down to the very chords of the hearts of the old heroes in whose praise she spoke. As she took her seat Gen. Teague ex claimed, "Comrades, we will give a rising vote of thanks to our little friend," and the house rose as a man. Her address will be remembered as one of the notable Incidents of this reunion. Col. Frank M. Mixson, commandant of the old soldiers* home, gave the veterans such an excellent account of the home?Its present condition, Its needs and its ambitions?that the con vention voted to have the addrcso pub lished nl full in the leading papers of South Carolina. William Glbbes Prltchard; com mander of the Sons of Veterans of South Carolina, appeared before the convention and brought a message of appreciation and affection from the organization of the younger genera tion. "We are organized" said he "to preserve the history of the Confed eracy?not only of the battles, but of the causes and we propose to see that to posterity Is handed down a true record of your deeds and of the prin ciples for which you played heroes' parts." Several "comrades" who had good stories to tell were heard wfth In terest by the veterans and at one o'clock the motion for adjournment was made and the reunion of 1011 was at an end.?The State. ***? *********** * ? * ( AHB prom mr. s?llivan. ? * * *************** To My Friends: I m finishing up the last decade of a century's work that Father and I have done here at Tumbling Shoals Mills.
