Chattanooga's victory In the light for the 1913 reunion was sweeping over both Jacksonville and San An tonio came at the close of a rather stormy session, although the uproar which retarded the progress of the convention was nob altogether the outcome Of the light for the next meeting place. (?real Gathering. At 5 o'clock in the afternoon the beautiful Coleman's Hill, from which Jefferson Davis made his last speech to Confederate soldiers, was a bright hued mass of people drawn from all parts of the South, numbering, ac cording to conservative estimates, 20,. 000, to witness the coronation of Miss Mary Sandrett. Half a dozen bauds recruited from Oklahoma to Florida surrounded the throne-dins set on the highest peak of one of the most beautiful spots in Georgia, and as the queen and her ladies drove up on a great white float, decorated with lilies and Amer ican beaut} roses a roar that was ! hoard In every part of Mcon went up from the crowd. The crown was ' placed on hot" head by Col. W. A. I Harris, chairman of the reunion ex | cent Ivo committee. I The discussion of the Gettysburg I North and South reunion was very I brief and what objections were made I were purely on technical grounds, i None of those objecting specified I the reason for their objection beyond I thai it was a constitutional breach. I However, Cm. Walker. Gen. Carr and I others promptly rose to declare that I the breach was forever healed: that ! not anywhere could be found in the I ranks of the Confederacy animus to ) wards the soldiers of the Union, and I that the Gettysburg reunion would I forever wipe out what fragment of ill I feeling there might possibly be left. ! The objectors made haste to ally [ themselves with the overwhelming I pacific element and the resolution } Was passed with cheers. |! Gen. Bennett II. Young, of Louis I villt>. Ky., was elected commander-ill I chief in the morning session. Gen. ! G. Irvine Walker of South Carolina I and Gen. Van Znndt of Texas with drew before the voting commenced ; and Gen. Walker was honored with a newly made olllce -thai of honorary commander. The announcement of the election of Gen. Voting was re ceived with tremendous cheering at the convention in its closing session. 1 ; Gen. George P. Harrison of Opellkn, , i Ala., was chosen commander of tin Army of Tennessee to succeed Gen. Young. When the report of the committee Oil resolutions was read it was found that one clause had to do with Gen. i Trimble's "invitation" for a Joint re , union of Glue and Gray at Gettys burg July 3-4-5-6, and recommended that the Invitation be declined. The convention, as a whole, how ever, struck out that clause and with practical unanimity adopted in it* stead one written by Gen. Walker, ac cepting the Invitation. It was passed with enthusiasm. The resolution In full Is as follows: "Whereas, Gen. H. M. TrirnHQe, commander-ln-chlef of the Grand Army of the Republic, voicing the common sentiments of his comrades, has issued an invitation to the United Confederate Veterans to participate, In all good fellowship, with the Grand Army of the Republic jn the celebra tion of the 50 anniversary of the battle of Gettlsburg, which Invitation Is clothed in the most patriotic senti ments, which sentiments, so nobly ex pressed we most highly honor: and "Whereas, the general invitation to participate in this celebration has j been accepted by every State of our I country and all have appointed repre Bentatlves. moBt of whom from the South being our veteran comrades; "Therefore, be It resolved: '?First, That the United Confederate Veterans cordially reciprocate the frateruit) &u warmly shown in this Invitation and gladly accept lu the same spirit of pure patriotism and sincere good will in which It has been extended. "Second, That the United Confed erate Veterans most earnestly and heartily unite with the Grand Army of the Republic in the hope so well expressed by Gen. Trimble that this even may mark the final and complete reconciliation of those of the oppos ing armies of f>0 years ago and the permanent establishment of harmo nious and fraternal relation between the North and South and that it may gladden the hearts of all our country men. "Third, That the largest possible at tendance of Confederate Veterans at the said celebration and to represent the United Confederate Veterans In any cooperative effort with the Grand Army of the Republic, the Pennsyl vania Gettlsburg commission or oth ers in matters relation to the afore said celebration a committee be ap pointed consisting of Gen.
